Mu Jin was somewhat annoyed by what had happened today, and since Su Yi was Su Yuntian's brother, how could Mu Jin possibly have a pleasant expression when she saw Su Yi?

Mu Jin glared at Su Yi with an impatient expression, then turned and left without saying goodbye to Su Yi, taking Qing'er and Eleven with her.

Su Yi found it quite amusing to see Mu Jin give him that look. He quickly walked up to the three of them, opened his arms, and looked at Mu Jin.

Why is my sister-in-law ignoring me?

Mu Jin thought to herself, how could there be such a shameless person? Anyone with a bit of sense would not have rushed over to her, judging from her expression.

Mu Jin's lips curled slightly: "Oh~ it's King Yi! I thought you were some prostitute wandering around soliciting customers. You're so elegant and charming, I hardly recognized you."

Su Yi's eyebrows twitched involuntarily when he heard Mu Jin's merciless insults.

"It's been a while, but your mouth is still as sharp as ever."

Mu Jin was in a hurry to return to the manor, so she said to Su Yi with some impatience, "What is it?"

"It's alright, can't you even say hello to your sister-in-law when you see her?"

Mu Jin said, "Now that I've given you the greeting, you'd better move aside."

Su Yi then noticed that Mu Jin's expression was not good today, as if she had encountered some troublesome matter, so he wisely decided not to get entangled.

Su Yi stepped aside and clasped his hands with Mu Jin, saying, "Take care, sister-in-law."

Seeing that Su Yi had made way, Mu Jin didn't even glance at him before quickly leading Qing'er and Eleven into the carriage parked next to the teahouse, disappearing into the street in no time.

After watching Mu Wan leave, Su Yi lowered his head and pondered for a while, then waved to Ling Feng behind him.

"Go and check if anything happened to Mu Jin today."

After receiving Su Yi's instructions, Ling Feng turned around and disappeared into the crowd on the street.

Outside the gates of the Prince Yun's mansion, Eleven watched as Mu Jin entered the mansion, mounted her horse, and disappeared into the twilight.

As Mu Jin entered the Yunwang Mansion, she walked towards the Cuizhu Courtyard, pondering the events of the day.

As she walked, Mu Jin suddenly bumped into a solid body. Her nose hurt, and she covered it with her hand. When she looked up, she saw Su Yuntian staring at her with a gloomy expression.

Mu Jin regained her senses, a flawless smile appearing on her face, and said, "So it's Your Highness."

Seeing her smooth-talking demeanor, Su Yuntian couldn't help but frown. Looking at her bright and beautiful face, the scene of their argument a few days ago was still vivid in his mind.

Mu Jin had many worries today and didn't want to get entangled with Su Yuntian any further. Although she was smiling, the distance in her tone was no less than how much Su Yuntian disliked her.

It was past lunchtime, and with her stomach empty, she was eager to return to the Green Bamboo Courtyard for a meal.

In fact, Mu Jin knew perfectly well why Su Yuntian had stopped her there; it was clearly because of what had happened to Shen Qianqian in her courtyard that morning, and he wanted to cause her trouble. To be on the safe side, Mu Jin thought it best to leave first.

Thinking of this, her smile became even brighter.

"Your Highness, have you eaten yet? I haven't. I'm starving and in a hurry to get back to Green Bamboo Courtyard, so I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to slip away.

"Stop!" Su Yuntian said, coldly and indifferently uttering two words.

Mu Jin turned around: "Does Your Highness have anything else to say?"

"Where have you been all day? This morning, Qianqian kindly cooked soup for you and brought it to you, but not only did you not appreciate it, you also hurt her. What explanation do you have for this?"

When Qing'er heard Su Yuntian scolding Mu Jin on behalf of Shen Qianqian, she became furious. Before Mu Jin could reply to Su Yuntian, she went up to Su Yuntian and began to complain about Shen Qianqian.

Qing'er stepped forward, curtsied to Su Yuntian, and said, "Your Highness, this servant has something to say."

Before Su Yuntian could agree, Qing'er began to tell her story.

"This morning, the concubine brought the beauty soup you had specially prepared for her to show off to Miss, saying she had too much to finish and wanted to give some to Miss, otherwise it would be a waste. Miss wasn't feeling well last night and couldn't sleep well at all. She finally managed to sleep for a while this morning, but the concubine came over and made a fuss. Miss, mindful of her good intentions, forced herself to get up despite her weakness, grateful for Concubine Chen's kindness, but unexpectedly..."

At this point, Qing'er couldn't help but squeeze out two lines of tears.

"Unexpectedly, before Miss could even get the soup into her hands, Consort slipped and the scalding soup was about to spill on Miss. Luckily, I pulled Miss away, otherwise my Miss would have been disfigured."

When Mu Jin heard Qing'er twist the facts without batting an eye, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. She couldn't help but wonder if she had corrupted this innocent little maid, but on the other hand, she admired Qing'er's ability to lie without batting an eye for her sake!

When Su Yuntian heard Qing'er repeatedly addressing him as "Miss," he frowned and interrupted her.

"Who is Miss? Are all the people in Cuizhu Courtyard so ill-mannered? Don't let me hear you address someone wrong again, or you'll be kicked out of the Yunwang Mansion."

Mu Jin and Qing'er were both taken aback by Su Yuntian's words!

Is the form of address the point? Of all the things Qing'er said, all he heard was Qing'er calling Mu Jin "Miss Mu Jin"?

Besides, Qing'er had often called Su Yuntian "Miss Mu Jin" before, and Su Yuntian never said anything about it being wrong.

Qing'er snapped out of her daze and continued, "Yes! This servant will remember!"

Su Yuntian looked at Mu Jin: "You still haven't answered me where you went today."

Qing'er glanced at Su Yuntian, who seemed to be looking for trouble with Mu Jin again, and continued to reply.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Miss... oh... no! The Princess Consort was in a bad mood this morning because of the concubine's outburst. Thinking of cheering her up, I took Miss to Baishi Mountain outside the city to enjoy the scenery."

Su Yuntian snorted coldly: "White Stone Mountain? What's so special about rewarding someone there?"

"Your Highness, the golden apricot leaves covering White Stone Mountain are truly beautiful, especially the emerald lake at the summit, which is a sight to behold. But…!"

As Qing'er spoke, she began to cry.

"We had just reached the top of the mountain when a caravan of bandits rushed out. It looked like they were going to take the princess's life. Luckily, Eleven knew a little martial arts, otherwise we would not have returned today."

When Su Yuntian learned that Mu Jin had been assassinated, his heart tightened for no reason, but he disliked this feeling in his body, so he calmed himself down and pretended not to care.

"Who sent you to such a remote place? If you stayed in the Prince Yun's mansion, who would dare to be impolite to you?"

Upon hearing Su Yuntian's words, Mu Jin scoffed.

Seeing that Mu Jin had finally stopped pretending in front of him and was even sneering at him, Su Yuntian said with dissatisfaction.

"why are you laughing?"

"I've racked my brains but can't think of anyone I have enemies, except for you and Shen Qianqian, that lovesick couple, who resent me for interfering with your lifelong, monogamous relationship! Actually, there's no need for you to lift a finger; just divorce me as soon as possible! There's no need to waste this thousand taels of silver!"

Upon hearing Mu Jin's words, Su Yuntian was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Mu Jin would suspect these thugs were his men.
