Ye Ziyu's words had an effect, making Murong Tian's heart sink.
Zhang Tong told him that Ye Zeyu loved her but couldn't have her, and wanted to kill her.
If Ye Zeyu were an ugly monster, Zhang Tong's words might be believable, but with Ye Zeyu looking like this, Zhang Tong's words have no credibility whatsoever.
I'm afraid what Zhang Tong said is exactly the opposite; the one who truly loves but cannot have is Zhang Tong.
But it doesn't matter, he's not interested in Zhang Tong. What really interests him are the strange things Zhang Tong talks about that he's never heard of before.
Murong Tian's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Ye Zeyu and sneered, "Ha! Prince Yong'an is truly narcissistic! He claims to love but cannot have you, does he really think every woman in the world likes him?! My sister is now Consort Shu, she wouldn't have any feelings for you. You should stop worrying unnecessarily!"
Ye Ziyu frowned slightly after hearing what Murong Tian said.
Is he really overthinking things?
Is Zhang Tong really dead?
Murong Tian turned and left without any apparent abnormality. Ye Zeyu had no choice but to put aside his doubts for the time being. However, he would send people to keep a close eye on the activities at the post station. If Zhang Tong was still alive, he would definitely not let her leave the capital alive!
But there is still one thing waiting for him to deal with.
The "ant" that hurt Xi'er was a member of the Imperial Guard. Although there was no concrete evidence, he was certain that the person who had tried to harm Xi'er was Bai Mengying!
Since that's the case, he doesn't mind revealing the real reason why Bai Mengying returned to the capital as a widow!
Knowing that the palace banquet had been postponed, Su Muxi did not wait for Ye Zeyu to return, but instead went to sleep after taking a bath.
In her dream, she was entangled by a thick python, making it hard for her to breathe. Just as she was about to scream for help, her mouth was filled with the snake's warm tongue...
"Hmm!"
Su Muxi woke up with a start, but when she saw the dark figure and smelled the familiar scent, she felt relieved.
Can…
"Don't…"
Ye Zeyu's large hands began to wander. Although Su Muxi missed Ye Zeyu very much after not seeing him for several days, she was in her boudoir after all, with Bai Zhi next door. If any noise was heard, she was afraid she would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Ye Zeyu didn't make any more moves, he just held Su Muxi in his arms, as if he wanted to meld Su Muxi into his very bones.
"Xi'er, I miss you so much."
His voice was hoarse, and his words had a double meaning.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Su Muxi blushed and whispered, "Me too."
The two hugged for a long time, just quietly holding each other. Although they did nothing, they felt sweet and happy.
"You weren't noticed when you came in, were you?"
Su Muxi said worriedly.
But Ye Zeyu chuckled and said, "The guards are all my men, what do you think?"
The implication is that he entered legitimately.
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi quickly reached out to push Ye Zeyu away, "Then you'd better leave quickly, otherwise I really won't be able to face anyone."
But Ye Ziyu hugged Su Muxi even tighter, whispering in her ear, "If I leave so soon, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone."
Su Muxi: "..."
Then Ye Zeyu said, "Xi'er, I can't wait any longer, marry me quickly."
Su Muxi shifted her body, finding a more comfortable position, and let Ye Zeyu continue to hold her.
Oh well, let the guards know if they want to know. Anyway, we're getting married tomorrow.
She had planned to urge Ye Zeyu to leave in about an hour, but before she knew it, Su Muxi had fallen asleep again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already daylight.
I touched the bed next to me; it was cold.
So Ye Ziyu has been gone for some time now.
Tomorrow is her wedding day with Ye Zeyu, and today is the day she delivers her dowry to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.
According to the custom of the State of Qi, the bride's family must send her dowry to the groom's family the day before the wedding.
All the carriages had to be opened so that everyone could see what was inside.
The more dowry a woman brings, the more respect she will receive in her husband's family.
Three years ago, Su Muxi got married and brought a lot of dowry, but it didn't look particularly eye-catching.
This time was different. Su Xing had exchanged all the 500,000 taels of silver notes for gold. If he were to carry it out, it would certainly cause quite a stir.
Su Muxi was both amused and exasperated by this, but Su Xing insisted on making Su Muxi the envy of others.
Su Muxi didn't need to personally deliver the dowry, but Bai Zhi wanted to see the reactions of those outside, so she went out with Uncle Zhong and the guards to deliver the dowry.
"Is this the Su family's dowry procession?!"
"Just how many sedan chairs were carried?! Even a princess's wedding wouldn't have such a grand spectacle!"
"This is gold?! I've heard that Su Muxi is from the Su family, one of the four great Shanxi merchants, but I didn't really notice it before. But now it seems that the four great Shanxi merchants are really something else; they're incredibly generous!"
"Even if Su Muxi's birthmark hadn't disappeared, I would still be willing to marry her for such a generous dowry!"
"If Su Muxi's birthmark really disappears and she becomes as beautiful as rumored, marrying her would be like bringing home a goddess of wealth who is as beautiful as an angel!"
"I wonder if the heir of the Marquis of Anyang has already regretted it! Anyway, no matter what Su Muxi looks like, just looking at these dozen or so boxes of gold, if I were the heir of the Marquis of Anyang, I would definitely regret it!"
…
Bai Zhi listened to the whispers around her, her back ramrod straight, her face full of smugness.
They've already reacted like this just from seeing their young lady's dowry. Imagine how surprised they'll be when they see what she looks like now!
