Su Muxi didn't consider Xie Xuan's pride, but instead looked at Ye Zeyu and softened her voice.

"Miss Yan'er is still ill. Would it be alright if I accompanied her to the Prince of Yong'an's residence? That way, if Miss Yan'er feels unwell on the way, I can treat her in time."

Since the hard approach doesn't work, let's try the soft approach.

Since Ye Zeyu could get the madam to prepare a sedan chair for Yan'er, he must care about Yan'er's health.

Sure enough, Ye Ziyu nodded after hearing this.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Miss Su to go with me."

He had no shortage of doctors in his household, but Yan'er was, after all, a woman, so it would be more convenient for Su Muxi to treat her.

Xie Xuan, however, felt that Ye Zeyu's actions were an insult to Su Muxi.

Seeing Su Muxi packing her medicine kit to leave, Xie Xuan didn't think too much and directly grabbed Su Muxi's wrist.

He then turned and glared angrily at Ye Zeyu.

"Prince Yong'an, don't go too far! Miss Su's marriage to you was ultimately arranged by the Emperor. How dare you humiliate her like this? Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?!"

"Miss Su is your betrothed princess, while Yan'er is just a prostitute. How dare you let Miss Su accompany Yan'er into your mansion? Where do you place Miss Su?!"

After Xie Xuan finished speaking angrily, he tried to pull Su Muxi away, but Su Muxi forcefully shook his hand off.

"I'm sorry... I just acted impulsively..."

Xie Xuan apologized, looking embarrassed.

Seeing Su Muxi frown, he assumed it was because he had disregarded gentlemanly etiquette and grabbed her wrist.

Unexpectedly, Su Muxi said coldly, "I am just a powerless female doctor. Saving people and treating illnesses is my duty. Besides, it was my idea to go to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion with Yan'er. How can you say it's an insult?"

Hearing this, Xie Xuan's face turned slightly pale. Then Su Muxi continued, "I thought you were different from others, but now it seems I was overthinking it."

Xie Xuan, you have disappointed me greatly.

Su Muxi didn't look at Xie Xuan again, but pointed to Xiao Ce not far away, "You take the medicine box."

After saying that, he gently helped Yan'er up.

Seeing Yan'er's eyes filled with tears as she looked sadly at Xie Xuan, Su Muxi stepped forward and blocked Yan'er's gaze.

Although Yan'er said that she had no romantic feelings for Xie Xuan, she still liked him in her heart.

She already had feelings for Xie Xuan, and Xie Xuan indirectly saved her life.

So how could I suddenly stop liking it?

That's just because I feel she's not good enough.

Now, being belittled by the person she admires, Su Muxi, who is also a woman, although unable to empathize, felt sympathy for Yan'er.

After thinking for a moment, I couldn't help but gently advise, "Life is full of things beyond our control. If you still care about what others say, you will only make yourself suffer."

As he spoke, he deliberately turned his left cheek toward Yan'er.

"Look at me, lots of people say I'm ugly, but as long as I don't care, those people can't do anything to me. They're the only ones who get disgusted."

Upon hearing this, Yan'er couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they streamed down her face again. However, the sadness on her face was replaced by a touched smile.

After hearing Su Muxi's words, Ye Zeyu's previously agitated mood calmed down considerably, and a hint of a smile appeared in his deep black eyes.

He glanced sideways at Xie Xuan, who was standing there dumbfounded, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

It turns out that he not only captivated Yan'er's heart, but also intended to seduce his nominal future princess.

Oh!

They've got some nerve!

Xiao Ce watched as Su Muxi, Yan'er, and his master walked out one after another, and resignedly picked up his medicine chest.

He was, after all, the commander of the guards of the Prince of Yong'an's mansion, but now he's been reduced to being a medicine boy carrying medicine boxes!

That wretched Su Muxi! She's not even married to his master yet, and she's already acting like the mistress of the house?!

We absolutely cannot let our master marry Su Muxi, that ugly and cunning woman!

In the end, Xie Xuan was the only one left in the room.

He just wanted to stand up for Su Muxi, but why did Su Muxi show him that disappointed look?

Was it simply because he said Yan'er was a prostitute?

Or is it that Su Muxi was actually happy about marrying Prince Yong'an, and the reason she looked at him with such disappointment was because she was angry that he had tried to stop her from getting close to Prince Yong'an?

Su Muxi, who was helping Yan'er out of the house, belatedly realized that Yan'er had forgotten to wear a veil.

Seeing the stares from those around her, she was genuinely afraid she might scare a few people to death.

To her surprise, although there was fear in everyone's eyes, it wasn't all because of her.

She glanced at Ye Zeyu beside her, noticing his intimidatingly tall stature and the eerie, dark gold mask.

It seemed that standing next to Ye Zeyu made everyone more afraid of him.

So, when she walks at night with Ye Zeyu in the future, will she no longer need to wear a veil?

It seems that everything really does need to be compared.

Having served in the military for many years, Ye Ziyu was still able to keenly detect even the most careful scrutinizing gaze from Su Muxi.

When he noticed Su Muxi looking at him again, his deep black eyes met hers directly.

"What are you looking at?"

His voice was clear and cold, exuding authority without anger.

Su Muxi, caught peeking, showed only a moment of embarrassment before quickly returning to normal.

He honestly replied, "It's nothing, it's just that you seem scarier than me."

But then Ye Zeyu's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile, and his cool voice sounded exceptionally clear in the somewhat noisy Xunfang Tower.
