Su Muxi looked at Qiao Zixi with a cold smile and said, "Miss Qiao naturally has no evidence, otherwise she wouldn't have come to my house today, but to the Jingzhao Prefecture."

One sentence fueled Xie Chi's anger even more.

However, Qiao Zixi did not continue to target Su Muxi as usual, but instead looked at Xie Chi with a wronged expression.

"Imperial Censor Xie, this matter has nothing to do with my father. I was simply furious to see my brother lying in bed, which is why I came to settle scores with Su Muxi! Please do not impeach my father!"

After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly said, "Imperial Censor Xie might as well come to my house and take a look. Physician Li and Physician Wang are both here. They can testify that Su Muxi was the one who caused my brother's leg injury!"

Then he glanced sideways at Su Xing and asked, "Or is it that Imperial Censor Xie knows Su Xing and is deliberately trying to impeach my father to show favoritism?"

Xie Chi was furious, his face flushed, and he felt slightly dizzy.

I took two deep breaths before I finally found my voice.

"Very well, I will go to the Marquis of Anyang's residence to see for myself! If Su Muxi really did cause the Marquis of Anyang's son's leg injury, I will certainly give the son justice. If not... Hmph! I will definitely give the Emperor a good talking about how the Marquis of Anyang disciplines his children!"

Upon seeing this, Su Muxi hurriedly said, "This humble woman begs to accompany Lord Xie to the Marquis of Anyang's residence so that I may defend myself and avoid being falsely accused, which would implicate you, sir."

A face-to-face confrontation would be ideal.

Xie Chi immediately nodded and said, "Alright, you will come with me to the Marquis of Anyang's residence!"

Seeing Xie Chi agree, Su Muxi turned to look at Su Xing. When she saw the blood seeping from Su Xing's knee, her eyes reddened slightly.

Suppressing the stinging in her nose, she forced a smile and said, "Dad, wait for me to come home."

Then he looked at Zhong Changqing, whose palm was scraped and whose face was full of worry, and said, "Uncle Zhong, take good care of my father."

In the end, Su Muxi only took Bai Zhi with her to the Marquis of Anyang's residence. Although she was completely in the right, people tend to sympathize with the weak. They were just two weak women, and if something really happened, Xie Chi would definitely not stand idly by.

And that was indeed the case. When Xie Chi saw that Su Muxi had only brought one maid with her, he invited the two of them to get into his carriage.

Inside the carriage, Su Muxi felt, whether it was her imagination or not, that Xie Chi was secretly observing her.

She happened to be sitting to Xie Chi's left, and Xie Chi could see her right cheek, which had no birthmark.

Could it be that Xie Chi is attracted to her looks?

Thinking of this, Su Muxi turned her head to look at Xie Chi as if by accident, revealing the red birthmark on her left cheek.

"Thanks to Lord Xie today, otherwise my family would have suffered an undeserved disaster."

Su Muxi could clearly see that Xie Chi's eyes flashed with disappointment after he saw the red birthmark on her face.

Xie Chi coughed awkwardly, then said righteously, "It's too early to thank me. If the Marquis of Anyang's leg is really related to you, I will personally escort you to the Jingzhao Prefecture."

Su Muxi showed no sign of panic, simply smiling and nodding before falling silent.

She has a clear conscience towards the Qiao family. Qiao Zixi's actions will only bring shame upon the Marquis of Anyang's mansion!

Meanwhile, in the Marquis of Anyang's residence...

Qiao Ziming lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling, still unable to believe that he had become disabled again.

Jiang also didn't sleep all night, her face full of anxiety.

But she patiently comforted Qiao Ziming.

"Son, don't worry. Physician Li and Physician Wang are discussing it. Maybe they'll find the cause of your illness and cure you soon. Didn't they say that your legs aren't as numb as before? They feel a tingling sensation, which means there's nothing serious. Maybe you're just tired and will feel better on your own tomorrow."

Zi Mo is the future of the Qiao family; he absolutely cannot become a useless person!

I thought it was just a minor ailment, but I didn't expect that even the two imperial physicians couldn't find the cause. Could it really be that Su Muxi was behind it?

Although family scandals should not be aired in public, since it concerned her son's leg, Madam Jiang had no choice but to share her suspicions with the two imperial physicians.

"Doctor Li, Doctor Wang, do you think my son might have been poisoned?"

Imperial Physician Li frowned. "Poisoning? Did the young master eat anything suspicious before?"

Madam Jiang shook her head. "No, that's not it. But my original daughter-in-law, Su Muxi, as you probably know, has some medical knowledge. I'm afraid she secretly poisoned my son because she was jealous that he was going to marry Princess Chang Le. To be honest, last night, as soon as Su Muxi left the Marquis's residence, my son's leg became immobile. How could there be such a coincidence? It must be Su Muxi's doing!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming clenched his fists, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

Was he really being manipulated by Su Muxi?

For some reason, he actually hoped that what he was doing now was really Su Muxi's doing. That way, he wouldn't owe Su Muxi anything, and he could criticize Su Muxi without any restraint.

After hearing what Madam Jiang said, Physician Li and Physician Wang exchanged glances, both seeing a look of doubt in each other's eyes.

Did the Crown Prince's wife poison him?

But they didn't find any signs of poisoning on Qiao Ziming's body.

Just as the two were about to examine Qiao Ziming's body again, Qiao Zixi's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Mother, I've brought that bitch Su Muxi with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Zixi pushed open the door and walked in.

Jiang was taken aback. "Didn't I tell you not to go out?"
