"That shouldn't be the case. If she's someone you like, shouldn't you have brought her along to an occasion like this? Why is she at your residence? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"What person do I have in mind that I like?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia couldn't help but chuckle and said, "That's what everyone in the manor is saying. Otherwise, why would she suddenly kneel down and say that she wouldn't compete with me for the position of princess? If you don't like her, given her status, why would you marry her?"

Are you saying she has a low social status?

Su Lixia quickly waved her hand and explained, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that people above the nobility should marry someone of equal social standing. I heard that you picked her up, and I don't know her true status. Anyway, she doesn't seem very high right now, but since you're going to marry her, you must like her at least a little, right?"

"Of course," Su Lixia said confidently.

“I have seen how you were when you were in the Central Plains. Now that you are here, I hope you can restrain yourself.”

Su Lixia felt a little embarrassed. Was she like that before? Probably just like in the book.

"But I didn't do anything too outrageous."

Yi Zexuan looked up at her: "You're becoming more and more carefree, more and more like your old self, staying out all night, running around everywhere, and lying."

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia's lips twitched, and she questioned, "Me? A habitual liar?"

"To lie to them and say that you have come to my residence is to lie."

“I was just worried they would be concerned. I didn’t mean to deceive them. And I didn’t run around. I’m an adult, I have my own thoughts. What you’re saying is wrong.”

Yi Zexuan narrowed his eyes, glanced at her sideways, and said, "In short, just tone it down and don't act like you did before."

"Okay," Su Lixia replied dismissively.

After saying that, Yi Zexuan went back.

Su Lixia rolled her eyes at his retreating figure and muttered under her breath, "Anyway, you better tone it down, tsk."

Then he took a quilt from the cupboard and spread it on the tatami mat.

"This person is always so nosy, it's really annoying," Su Lixia complained, looking at the ceiling.
