Su Muxi followed Tang Yan into the house, and after examining Tang Yan's body again, they started chatting.
Tang Yan said that she ate and lived well in the Prince's mansion, but the only bad thing was that no one talked to her.
"Soon, Miss Su will be married into the Prince's mansion, and then I'll have someone to speak for me!"
Su Muxi blushed again, but her face showed a hint of confusion.
She was still somewhat at a loss about marrying Ye Zeyu so soon.
Although she was a little nervous when she married Qiao Ziming last time, she had a clear goal.
She married Qiao Ziming to repay a debt of gratitude.
Before marrying into the Marquis of Anyang's household, she didn't even have a clear impression of Qiao Ziming.
But Ye Zeyu is different.
She admitted that she had fallen for Ye Zeyu, and that Ye Zeyu liked her too.
So for her, this wedding was her first real marriage...
Tang Yan saw the worried and nervous look in Su Muxi's eyes and assumed that Su Muxi was worried that Prince Yong'an did not like her.
He reached out and grasped Su Muxi's hand, wanting to tell her his plan directly.
After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed his words.
Miss Su is an upright person and would never use such despicable means to bind the prince.
Let her do all this. After all, she's a lowly prostitute, so it's normal for her to use some despicable methods.
Even if it angered the prince and resulted in his death, she felt it would be worth it.
She couldn't describe the despair of waiting to die in that filthy, smelly little hut.
But she knew that Su Muxi was the only ray of light that appeared in her despair.
“Miss Su, actually today is my birthday. After my brother joined the army, I haven’t celebrated my birthday. Now that the prince has helped me escape my suffering and Miss Su has saved my life, I thought I would take this opportunity to thank you both.”
"If Your Highness agrees, and Miss Su doesn't mind, I'd like to cook a few dishes so we can have a meal together."
Actually, today is not her birthday at all, but she deliberately spoke pitifully and cautiously in order to soften Su Muxi's heart.
As expected, Su Muxi agreed.
"How could I possibly mind? Also, please don't call me Miss Su anymore, just call me Xi'er."
Tang Yan's eyes began to blur, and she called out with a sob in her voice, "Xi'er."
Meanwhile, in Shan Ci Tang
Shen Yaxin went to pick up the medicine herself, but was told that Su Muxi was not there.
Seeing this, Bi Yuan quickly seized the opportunity to make things difficult for Su Muxi.
"We clearly agreed to pick up the medicine today, and my young lady even came in person. Why isn't your young lady here? Is it because the medicine hasn't been made yet, and she's afraid to show her face?"
This time, Shen Yaxin not only didn't scold her, but her expression darkened, and even though she was wearing a veil, her displeasure was still evident in her eyes.
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, "Miss Chen, you've misunderstood. Although my young lady hasn't come, the medicine is ready. Please wait a moment, I'll go and call Miss Baizhi right away!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Yaxin to speak, he hurriedly went to the back room to call for someone.
Bi Yuan muttered under her breath, "What a big shot! They didn't come themselves, so they sent a maid. I should have come myself. There was no need to trouble Miss, who is clearly not feeling well today."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaxin felt somewhat uncomfortable, even though she knew the medicine was ready.
She had her period yesterday, which is not a good time for her to go out, but she remembered that she had promised to come and pick up the medicine in person last time, and she didn't want to break her promise, so she endured the discomfort and came in person.
Unexpectedly, Su Muxi didn't take her seriously at all...
Soon, Bai Zhi came out from the inner room. She didn't notice anything wrong with Shen Yaxin. Instead, she smiled and handed the ointment that Su Muxi had specially prepared for her to Shen Yaxin.
"Miss Shen is here. This is the ointment my young lady prepared for you. Just apply it to your face once in the morning and once at night after washing your face."
Shen Yaxin didn't take it, but just gave a faint "hmm". Bi Yuan's eyes showed smugness as she reached out and took the ointment.
Bai Zhi sensed something was wrong, and after a moment's thought, she explained, "Originally, Miss was going to come to Shan Ci Tang today to personally deliver the ointment to Miss Shen, but the Prince went to ask Miss to save someone early this morning, so Miss had no choice but to go along. However, Miss is still concerned about Miss Shen's matter, so she specially instructed me to wait for Miss Shen here."
Hearing this, Shen Yaxin felt a little better, but a strange feeling lingered.
"You said the Prince went to see Miss Su early this morning? The Prince you're referring to, are you talking about Prince Yong'an?"
"...Exactly."
Bai Zhi nodded.
But I felt something was off.
There is only one prince in the capital, Prince Yong'an. How could Miss Shen, the most talented woman in the capital, ask such a question?
Shen Yaxin's eyes flickered slightly as she continued, "What is your young lady's relationship with Prince Yong'an?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi immediately became alert.
If she hadn't seen the true face of Prince Yong'an before, she might not have thought much of it, but now, seeing Shen Yaxin's appearance and thinking of Prince Yong'an's otherworldly beauty, she had no choice but to be wary of her young lady.
"My young lady and Prince Yong'an are betrothed by the Emperor, so their relationship is naturally good. After all, it won't be long before my young lady marries into the Prince's mansion and spends her days with him!"
Seeing the dark look in Shen Yaxin's eyes, Bai Zhi was certain that Shen Yaxin was indeed thinking about the Prince of Yong'an, and about her young lady's future husband!
Seriously!
She said she wouldn't become the second Qiao Zixi, but she turned out to be a hungry wolf eyeing the meat on her young lady's plate!
I really want to snatch back the ointment that the young lady made and make this worthless talented woman wear a veil for the rest of her life!
Bai Zhi was furious, and Shen Yaxin was also furious.
