Xie Chi had long thought that Su Muxi and Miss Yun looked alike.
After Xie Xuan told him that the birthmark on Su Muxi's face had disappeared, he thought that Su Muxi now must look very much like Miss Yun.
I never expected them to look so alike!
When he first saw Su Muxi, he thought the person standing in front of him was Miss Yun herself.
Upon closer inspection, the differences between the two can still be seen.
Miss Yun was as gentle as water, while Su Muxi possessed a more resolute and heroic air.
Given the vastness of the world, it's not surprising that there are people who are similar to each other.
Like Xie Chi, when Qiao Xiuyuan first saw Su Muxi, it was as if he saw another person. His hands trembled uncontrollably, and he had an urge to hug her.
"Ying'er..."
Qiao Ziming had been staring intently at Su Muxi, but after hearing Qiao Xiuyuan's murmur, he turned his head in confusion.
"Father, what did you say?"
Qiao Xiuyuan snapped out of his thoughts, a look of emotion on his face, and said lightly, "It's nothing. I just didn't expect that Xi'er's birthmark could be removed. Now that I see how beautiful Xi'er is, I'm happy for her."
Qiao Ziming didn't suspect anything, and just assumed that his father had called him "Xi'er" and that he had misheard.
Looking at Su Muxi's radiant appearance in a bright red wedding dress, Qiao Ziming felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Three years ago, Su Muxi also dressed like this when she married him.
Unfortunately, he was so unwilling at the time that he didn't even glance at Su Muxi, nor did he pay attention to her clothes and appearance. Now, when he thinks back, he has very few memories left of their wedding day.
All I remember is that night when we were drinking the nuptial wine, Su Muxi had someone replace the wine with tea.
"Since the young master is unwell, we will serve tea instead of wine."
Su Muxi was clearly concerned about him, but he thought she was implying he was a useless person. He picked up the wine pot and drank the whole pot by himself, but did not drink the nuptial wine with Su Muxi.
But now, even if I wanted to drink it, I no longer had the chance…
Xie Xuan and Pei Yuan were also staring intently at Su Muxi. They glanced at each other and simultaneously snorted coldly before turning their faces away.
When Murong Tian saw Su Muxi's face again, a burning desire ignited in his lower abdomen.
He tried again last night, but it still didn't work.
The doctor who accompanied the mission examined him and said that he was perfectly healthy and had no problems whatsoever.
So the reason he suddenly stopped working must be because of Su Muxi!
As long as he can pin Su Muxi down, he will surely regain his virility!
But Ye Zeyu was watching closely, and since they were currently in Qi territory, there was nothing he could do. All he could do was wait.
Once he returns to Northern Yan and has the cannons Zhang Tong mentioned built, he will surely crush Qi and seize Su Muxi!
Ye Zerui, who had come to watch the spectacle, couldn't help but show surprise upon seeing Su Muxi's appearance.
He had heard about Su Muxi's transformation into a beautiful woman, but he never imagined she would be so stunningly beautiful that she seemed otherworldly.
She glanced at Ye Zeyu beside Su Muxi.
Oh!
What a perfect match!
It's unknown how Su Muxi's good older brother will react after he goes to prison.
Will they cause a scene in court, or will they go to jail together?
It would be more fun if we killed everyone!
Ye Zemin stared wide-eyed at Su Muxi for a long time in disbelief before finally asking, "Are you my sister-in-law?"
Originally, Su Muxi was in a very bad mood to encounter such a thing on such a joyous day, but seeing Ye Zemin's silly look, she burst out laughing.
"It's me. What? Don't you recognize me?"
That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, leaving everyone speechless for a long time.
Ye Zeming, however, took several steps back.
"Sister-in-law, please don't smile at me, I can't stand it!"
After blurting out his thoughts without thinking, he immediately felt a murderous gaze upon him.
Following the gaze, he saw Ye Zeyu glaring at him.
"Brother, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. I just think your wife is so beautiful. You two are a match made in heaven!"
After speaking, he coughed lightly and looked at He Zhengyang sitting in the hall.
"Lord He, why aren't you investigating the case yet! My sister-in-law is definitely innocent. Finish the trial quickly, because I still have to go to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion for a wedding banquet!"
Upon hearing this, He Zhengyang quickly forced a smile, "Your Highness is right, you are absolutely right!"
Honestly, none of these people care about the case; they're all here to see Su Muxi.
It's pitiful that he, the Prefect of the Capital, has to handle this case under such immense pressure.
The gavel was gently tapped on the table, and the court session began.
Immediately afterwards, three ragged beggars were brought up by the yamen runners.
Three beggars, one man and two women.
The man looked to be nearly sixty years old, hunched over, and coughed every two steps. With just one glance, Su Muxi concluded that he suffered from tuberculosis.
The other two were little girls.
One looked like he was just over ten years old, and the other looked like he was only seven or eight years old.
Both of them were thin and had dry, yellow hair, clearly indicating that they had been chronically hungry.
After the three of them bowed their heads and entered the hall, they knelt on the ground and tremblingly bowed to He Zhengyang.
He Zhengyang asked the three men in a deep voice, "What grievances have you three suffered? Tell me in detail!"
The old man kowtowed to He Zhengyang, coughed twice, and then slowly said, "Your Excellency, two days ago, Miss Su Muxi of the Su family, cough cough... suddenly broke into the dilapidated temple outside the city with her guards, cough cough... and killed all the beggars inside without saying a word. The three of us hid behind the Buddha statue and were lucky enough to survive."
"Ahem... Please, Your Excellency, do justice for the beggars outside the city! Ahem... Severely punish the murderer and give us beggars justice! Ahem..."
Although beggars sometimes live worse than animals, they are still real people. If Su Muxi really killed so many beggars without explanation, it would indeed be unforgivable under the law.
Seeing that Su Muxi's expression was normal, He Zhengyang believed that Su Muxi had been wronged this time as well. However, the trial of a case requires evidence and cannot be based solely on personal subjective judgment.
Then he continued to ask the beggars below, "Miss Su has no grudge against the beggars, so why would you kill them? Answer honestly, or you will be severely tortured!"
Upon hearing this, the three beggars were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and saying they dared not.
The older-looking little girl spoke up, "Sir, I know why! I have a friend named Xiaocao. Her mother was sick, so she went to the city to find Su Muxi, hoping that Su Muxi could cure her mother. But Su Muxi's medical skills were terrible, and she killed her mother instead."
We were all watching from the dilapidated temple at the time. I suppose Su Muxi didn't want us to spread the news that her medical skills were poor, which is why she had all the beggars outside the city killed!
