Hearing Su Jingming's question.
Su Muyan suddenly sneered and deliberately asked, "Why? Brother, you even want to get involved in such a dirty matter?"
"Answer me!" Su Jingming held her chin with his fingers and said in a sharp voice, "Did he touch you?"
Su Muyan was forced to raise her chin and look into his eyes.
He curled his lips and smiled, his tone cold: "If I say yes, will brother give me another bowl of medicine and send me to his bed?"
Su Jingming's pupils suddenly shrank, and the fingers pinching her chin loosened unconsciously, but his tone was still a cold warning.
"Zhao Ju can't."
Su Muyan naturally knew that Zhao Ju was not an option. She didn't want to provoke that scoundrel and lunatic.
But she just wanted to make Su Jingming unhappy.
She tilted her head slightly, her tone puzzled, "Why not? He said he's been in love with me since he was fourteen, and I'm the only one in his heart."
Finally, Su Muyan concluded with a smile: "If my father hadn't disagreed, I would have preferred to marry Zhao Ju. I think he's no worse than Xiao Yunchen."
When Su Jingming heard her words, he suddenly grabbed her arms with his hands like crazy and warned: "Zhao Ju, you can't do that! The Zhao family must not be provoked!"
Su Muyan asked, "What if he insists on marrying me? After all, given my cousin's personality, he won't give up easily."
Su Jingming replied: "I will find a way to deal with this matter. You just need to focus all your attention on Xiao Yunchen."
Su Muyan suddenly lost interest in chatting with him, pushed him away, and whispered, "I know."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

The huge procession set out from the palace, and the magnificent carriages, escorted by guards and troops, passed through the streets of the capital.
The two sections of the street running north and south were packed with people watching the excitement. Many people stood on tiptoe to look inside, and the sound of people talking at once was noisy and boisterous.
The golden morning sun shines on the exquisite and delicate pavilions with flying eaves and pointed corners, warming the faces of the people in the city. The joyous and lively atmosphere stirs people's emotions.
The two best friends sat in a carriage and followed the army to the hunting ground.
Yesterday, the princess specially sent a riding suit. It was bright red in color, with a black silk ribbon around the waist and a golden auspicious cloud pattern embroidered by the palace embroiderer herself.
Li Sisi has even been practicing archery recently, and Li Nian has also been practicing horse riding for a long time.
After traveling for most of the day, we finally arrived at our destination before dark.
This is an endless stretch of mountains with rows of houses built on the flat ground in the middle.
The courtyard is not very big and the wall is very low, only half a person's height. You can see through the entire courtyard at a glance from the gravel road in the middle.
Each courtyard has only two or three houses with white walls and black tiles.
Outside the yard, countless small paths branch off from a main road, making it easy for people to take the wrong path and enter the wrong house if they are not careful.
Fortunately, there was a plaque at the entrance of the small house, and Xiao Yunchen hung his own houseplate with the word "Xiao" on it at the gate of the yard.
It was the time when the sunset was about to end, and the faint golden light shone down, giving people an inexplicable sense of unreality, as if they were entering a dream.
Some places where light doesn't reach have a dark atmosphere.
Li Sisi pushed the door open and entered the yard, only to find that there were only three rooms and no kitchen.
I can't help but ask: "What are we having for dinner?"
Xiao Yunchen explained: "There are servants and cooks here. They usually clean the house here, and when we come, they will be responsible for cooking for everyone."
Ru Liu took the package off the carriage and said to Xiao Yunchen, "Sir, I will go and park the carriage at the stable."
Xiao Yunchen nodded in agreement, and Ruliu drove the carriage away.
Each of them entered their room and made their own bed. Soon, a servant came knocking on the gate with a food box.
Ru Liu opened the door, and two or three servants handed him the food box before continuing to the next house.
Li Sisi was curious and felt that this was more like a vacation than a safari.
It's just that the playing time is shorter.

In the royal hunting grounds in spring, the grass is lush and green, and tiny wild flowers are densely dotted among the grass.
On the high platform, the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe sat alone, and the eunuch beside him explained the rules of the game in detail.
"There are three types of hunting this time: horseback chasing, archery, and trapping. Whoever overcomes all three difficulties and obtains the most prey will win!"
"The first place winner will receive 100 taels of gold, plus a house on East Street."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became excited.
East Street is the prime location of the capital, and it is also the place where high-ranking officials and wealthy people gather.
Li Nian and Li Sisi looked at each other and couldn't help but think of the same thing.
Xiao Yunyu's Yunjingting is on East Street. If Xiao Yunchen wins this house, will he have an excuse to move out of Xiaohou Mansion and live in the new house awarded by the emperor?
This way, they no longer have to face that annoying old witch, and the two of them can still be neighbors!
After the explanation, the contestants began to ride their horses into the hunting ground.
The two best friends rode the Uyama horses arranged by the princess.
The competition requires two people to form a team, Xiao Yunchen and Li Sisi form a team.
Li Nian was invited by the princess to form a team with her.
Li Nian looked at the pure white horse in front of her and couldn't help but like it.
This horse is so beautiful!
She stroked the horse's mane and said to the princess with a happy smile, "Thank you Tongtong for lending me such a beautiful horse. It's my honor to be able to form a team with Tongtong today."
The princess smiled brightly, her eyes full of joy and excitement. "Don't be polite to me, Nian Nian. It is my honor to be able to form a team with Nian Nian."
Xiao Yunchen quietly looked at the two women who were looking at each other and laughing: ...
If my eldest brother knew that my eldest sister-in-law and the princess had such a close relationship, I wonder how he would react?
At this time, the Crown Prince rode over slowly on a pure black horse and asked, "My Imperial Sister, have you found a burden?"
He looked down at Li Nian with a contemptuous tone, "Madam Xiao, if I remember correctly... you are the concubine of Minister Yun? I'm afraid you haven't even touched a bow and arrow in your daily life, right?"
Li Nian bowed slightly and calmly said, "Your Highness is right. I am indeed not good at riding or shooting."
Seeing that her expression didn't change at all, the prince snorted softly, "You do have some self-awareness."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yunchen beside him: "Master Xiao, are you afraid of losing too badly, so you brought your wife to form a team to find an excuse for your failure?"
Li Sisi felt that she couldn't stand the prince's words from the moment he opened his mouth. Now she saw that he seemed to be sick and was looking for trouble.
I couldn't help but retort, "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Hunting is just a game. The important thing is to participate. Why do we have to fight over who wins or loses? Besides, Your Highness and my eldest sister-in-law have a good relationship. The two of us are willing to form a team. Even if we lose, we are happy. My husband and I formed a team because we have a deep affection for each other. Even if we lose, we are willing to accept it."
"Besides, the competition has just begun! Who knows who will win or lose in the end! Who knows? Maybe you might pick flowers intentionally but they won't bloom, but you might plant willows by accident and they will grow into a beautiful forest."
