In front of the Lin family mansion, the princess's carriage was waiting outside.

As soon as Su Yi and Mu Jin stepped out of the mansion gate, the carriage curtain was quickly lifted. Only after Su Yi and Mu Jin boarded the carriage did the curtain fall, and the carriage slowly headed towards the princess's residence.

As soon as Su Yi got into the car, he saw that Mu Jin's face still had the tear stains from when she was acting in front of the Lin family. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel sorry for her. He couldn't help but smile and asked softly.

"Did you have a good time at the Lin residence today?"

Mu Jin looked at him coldly and said, "And what about you? Did you have a good time at the Lin residence?"

"That depends on whether A-Jin is happy or not." Su Yi smiled and picked up a teacup, handing it to Mu Jin.

Mu Jin didn't reply, but retorted sarcastically, "Why weren't you later? I was punished by that old man and young woman to stand for more than an hour today! Being punished to stand is bad enough, but I also had to endure their cold words."

"I'm even starting to doubt whether this deal with you was worth it at all," Mu Jin said, glaring angrily at Su Yi.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi quickly moved closer to Mu Jin to massage her calves, but Mu Jin dodged him. "Get away!"

"Look at you, I saw you've been standing for so long and I was worried your legs were sore, so I kindly wanted to massage them for you. You're really not a good person," Su Yi's voice was deep and pleasant, with a hint of teasing.

Mu Jin sneered: "So, should I thank you?"

“No need for that.” After saying that, Su Yi seemed to remember something and stared at Mu Jin with a grin, saying, “Besides, didn’t you say you only love me? It’s only natural to help you out.”

Mu Jin rolled her eyes at Su Yi, moved to the side to distance herself from him, and said indifferently, "We're already out of the Lin residence, and you're still acting? Are you really into this?"

"I believe that wasn't acting; it was all genuine affection between Ah Jin and me, especially what Ah Jin said at the Lin residence, which was truly touching," Su Yi said with a smirk.

"Really? I've noticed that every time we exchange a word at the Lin residence, the faces of the people there darken by an inch?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "That's why we say, people with different views cannot work together. Since we can't agree on anything, it's no wonder we're arguing."

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi, sneered, and didn't bother to say anything more to him.

Su Yi smiled and approached Mu Jin, putting his arm around her shoulder.

“Just now, Ah Jin told me that you only love me and will never marry another man. I took it seriously.”

Mu Jin was already used to Su Yi's shamelessness, but she felt that Su Yi had really made her unhappy today.

Mu Jin suddenly grabbed Su Yi's waist and twisted it hard. Su Yi immediately gasped and released her.

In reality, this little bit of pain was nothing to Su Yi, but he just habitually cooperated with Mu Jin.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go! I won't say anything more, okay?"

Mu Jin scoffed at Su Yi's affected manner and let go of his hand.

"Speak, what happened that made you rush to the palace today?"

Su Yi replied, "The Imperial Censor was assassinated, so my grandfather summoned me to the palace."

"Assassinated?" Mu Jin asked.

Su Yi replied, "On the surface, yes."

Mu Jin asked in surprise, "On the surface?"

Su Yi said, "Yes, it only appears to be an assassination attempt on the surface. However, I feel that there must be something fishy about this matter, and I am uneasy, so I bid farewell to my grandfather and went to the Lin residence to find you."

Mu Jin asked, puzzled, "I don't even know that Imperial Censor. Why are you so uneasy about his assassination?"

"There is no connection, but at least today is not peaceful. Sure enough, when I arrived at the Lin residence, I saw Lin Yueru about to make trouble for you."

Thinking of this, Su Yi frowned: "If I hadn't arrived in time, would you have just stood there and let her hit you?"

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi out of the corner of her eye and said indifferently, "What else can I do? I am your fiancée on the surface right now. Aren't I afraid of ruining your good things? Besides, she slapped me today, and I will definitely repay her tenfold or a hundredfold in the future."

Hearing Mu Jin say that, Su Yi ruffled Mu Jin's hair in an annoyed manner.

"You're actually thinking of me now? You said you'd pay her back tenfold or a hundredfold tomorrow after being slapped today? You don't usually seem like the type to suffer a loss. What's wrong? Did you become stupid from the change in climate and environment of Southern Shu?"

Seeing that Su Yi had ruffled her hair, Mu Jin irritably pushed his hand away: "Don't touch my head!"

"So what if I touch you? You'd better teach me a lesson. My woman has to compromise herself for me? Does that mean I'm incompetent?"

"Ah Jin, all you need to know is that if this happens again, you can beat her to a pulp. As for the rest, I will take care of it for you."

Mu Jin wanted to retort to Su Yi, but then she remembered that Lin Yueru's slap, which was about to land on her face, was suddenly interrupted, and she figured that Su Yi was behind it. So she asked.

"Lin Yueru's hand was suddenly injured by a hidden weapon just now. Was that your doing?"

Su Yi scoffed, "Who else could it be but me? Luckily I arrived in time, or your little face would have been in trouble."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he tried to pinch Mu Jin's cheek, but Mu Jin dodged him.

"Haven't you known Lin Yueru for over a decade? And in the eyes of the world, you, the King Yi of Dongyue, should be someone who knows how to cherish and pamper women."

"The way you treated Lin Yueru today is quite unbecoming of your image as the romantic and amorous King Yi."

Su Yi said, "Even if we've known each other for hundreds of years, if someone insignificant tries to make things difficult for you, I won't hold back."

"Before, when I hadn't met anyone I felt was important, my smile was just an expression. But after meeting you, nothing is more important than you."
