Chapter 103 It turns out that three years ago, Su Muxi was supposed to marry Prince Yong'an.



Qiao Ziming is now able to stand up and take a few steps.

Seeing this, Ye Zerui smiled and said, "I am truly happy for the Crown Prince that he has been able to stand up again."

After saying that, he placed the food box in his hand on the table next to Qiao Ziming.

"I wonder if Your Highness has had breakfast yet? These are steamed buns I brought from the Su family this morning. They are quite delicious; Your Highness may wish to try them."

Qiao Ziming asked in confusion, "Which Su residence did Your Highness visit?"

"Naturally, it's the residence of Judge Su."

Originally, I intended to ask Miss Su to treat the leg injury of one of my guards, but since Miss Su is unwell, I have no choice but to seek another doctor.

As they spoke, Ye Zerui subtly observed the expression on Qiao Ziming's face, his eyes showing even more interest.

Unexpectedly, although Su Muxi was not very good-looking, she was quite capable. He actually saw a look of worry in Qiao Ziming's eyes.

It seems that Qiao Ziming already knows what that stupid woman Bai Mengying did.

That would be even more interesting.

One of them was the instigator of the whole affair, but now she refuses to remarry.

He learns the truth, regrets divorcing his ex-wife, but is unwilling to marry the beloved he sought the emperor's blessing for at all costs.

But these two people were forced to marry by imperial decree.

Oh!

That's really interesting!

If that's the case, then he has to add fuel to the fire to make it more interesting!

Ye Zerui said with regret, "The injured guard is one of my confidants. It's a pity he arrived at the wrong time. Miss Su's complexion was indeed not good this morning. I suppose she treated too many patients yesterday and exhausted too much energy."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming subconsciously pinched the sides of his thighs with both hands.

Every time Su Muxi administered acupuncture, he only felt pain, and even suspected that Su Muxi was deliberately retaliating against him.

But now, after hearing Ye Zerui's words, he remembered.

Every time Su Muxi finished administering acupuncture to him, her face seemed to turn pale, especially yesterday.

So Su Muxi fell ill from exhaustion while giving him acupuncture?

A sense of guilt welled up inside him, and he had an urge to go see Su Muxi immediately.

Ye Zerui had seen Qiao Ziming's performance, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were turning up, and continued, "But with your older brother taking care of her, Miss Su will get better soon."

"I never expected that my elder brother, who usually has such an unapproachable demeanor, would be so gentle when dealing with Miss Su."

What seemed like a soliloquy resonated deeply with Qiao Ziming.

Did the Prince of Yong'an go to see Su Muxi?

Could it be that Prince Yong'an's request for Su Muxi from the Emperor was not for any other purpose, but simply because he liked her?

No! Impossible!

Su Muxi is so ugly, who else but him would marry her!

Ye Ziyu's gentleness must all be an act!

No, he had to see Su Muxi. He couldn't let that silly woman be fooled!

However, just as Qiao Ziming was about to speak, Ye Zerui said quietly, "I heard that three years ago, the Empress Dowager intended to marry Miss Su to my elder brother, but later, I don't know what happened, and the matter was dropped."

Unexpectedly, after three years, the first thing the eldest brother did upon returning was to propose to Miss Su.

This friendship is truly touching!

Seeing that Qiao Ziming's face was getting darker and darker, he deliberately reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Alas! It's truly fate's cruel joke. Three years ago, you should have been with Yingying, but instead you married Miss Su. And Miss Su should have married the Prince of Yong'an, but instead she married into the Marquis of Anyang's household."

Fortunately, everything is back on track. You'll soon be able to live happily ever after with Yingying, and Miss Su has finally found her happy ending.

Where does happiness belong?

Qiao Ziming's hands, placed on either side of her thighs, tightened their grip.

It turns out that three years ago, Su Muxi was supposed to marry Prince Yong'an...

If that's the case, why did you agree to marry him?!

Are they playing a trick on him?

No wonder she disagreed with him marrying Bai Mengying as a concubine and tried every means to divorce him.

It turns out it was because Ye Zeyu returned to Beijing.

She pretends to be a victim, but actually wants to be with Ye Ziyu...

"You bitch!"

Only after uttering the curse did Qiao Ziming belatedly realize what he had just said.

Feeling the pain in her leg, and glancing subconsciously at Ye Zerui, who was smiling, she gradually regained her senses.

"Is this all the Second Prince came to tell me today?"

Qiao Ziming's voice was cold, and his expression showed a hint of impatience.

This time, he won't listen to one side of the story and misunderstand Su Muxi again; he will investigate the matter himself!

Ye Zerui smiled and pointed to the food box next to him.

"The steamed buns were delivered. Now that the buns have been delivered, I will take my leave."

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair.

He took a step and then stopped, looking down at Qiao Ziming sitting in the chair, and emphasized, "The Su family's steamed buns are really delicious. Young Master, remember to eat them, otherwise you may never have the chance to eat them again."

Qiao Ziming watched Ye Zerui's departing figure, then looked at the food box on the table. Her fingertips gradually dug into the flesh of her thigh until she felt a wetness before slowly letting go.

He has been married to Su Muxi for three years, and he has never eaten Su family food, nor has he ever even stepped inside the Su family's gate.

Previously, I couldn't leave, nor did I bother to go.

But now I can't get in.

So Ye Zerui is right. If we don't eat this now, we might never have the chance to eat it again...

He opened the food box, reached out and took out a steamed bun, then put it to his mouth and took a bite.

He chewed it carefully, and it did taste quite good, but for some reason, it tasted bitter in his mouth.

"Awang!"

"Young Master, what are your orders?"

Prepare the carriage.

"Is the young master going to the Su residence?"

But Qiao Ziming coldly said, "I'm not going to the Su residence, I'm going to the Princess's residence."

Awang had overheard the entire conversation between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince.

Seeing that Qiao Ziming was about to go to the Princess's residence, she hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak up for Su Muxi, "Young Master, please don't blame me for being nosy, but I think that the Second Prince was clearly here to sow discord. Otherwise, why would he have made a trip for just a few steamed buns? Please don't misunderstand the Young Madam."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming felt even more agitated.

He said irritably, "What? Do you think I'm brainless and can't understand? Besides, do I have to explain to a servant like you where I'm going?!"

Upon seeing this, Awang hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "This servant wouldn't dare! Your Highness, please calm your anger!"

"Since you dare not, then hurry up and prepare the carriage!"

An hour later, Ye Zeyu stood in front of the Chang Le Princess's mansion.

Three years ago, he frequented this place.

Three years later, he returned to this place.

Unfortunately, my feelings at this moment are completely different from before.
