After hearing the little beggar's words, He Zhengyang roughly guessed who the important person was.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead again, and he inwardly groaned.
What kind of mess is this?!
If you want to fight, then fight! Why make things difficult for him?
Although He Zhengyang wanted to close the case directly, he had no choice but to ask, "Who is this important person you're talking about?"
“…I don’t know…that noblewoman was wearing a cap, all I know is that she was a woman.”
Since the little girl had already told everyone what had happened, the older little girl didn't hide anything from her either.
“Two days ago, we were sleeping in a dilapidated temple when a group of men in black suddenly broke in and started killing people without saying a word. The Buddha statue was empty, and my grandfather hid inside with my sister and me. But in the end, we were still discovered.”
“We thought those people would kill us too, but the noblewoman wearing a cap said that we were people that Buddha wanted to protect, and that she would spare our lives. But she made us say that all of this was done by Su Muxi.”
"That noblewoman said she has connections everywhere. If we don't do as she says, she'll definitely find out and then she'll chop us up and use us as fertilizer!"
“We stayed in the dilapidated temple, waiting for someone to ask about this matter. Unexpectedly, last night, a man in black came and told us to go into the city this morning and wait on Fengyang Street so that we could plead our case to a young man dressed in green clothes and wearing a jeweled crown.”
"Sir, we were threatened, we didn't mean to slander Miss Su! Please spare our lives!"
The girl spoke sincerely and pitifully, but Su Muxi knew that the girl was definitely hiding something and hadn't told the whole truth.
Although they were beggars, they had a cleverness about them, which is probably why the three of them survived.
But none of that matters anymore, and she doesn't want to delve into it further, because even if she continues to investigate, she won't get any results.
After all, she is a princess!
"Lord He, now that my name has been cleared, may I return to get married? After all, it was an imperial decree issued by the Emperor, setting the date for today!"
Su Muxi spoke with a smile.
He Zhengyang hurriedly said, "Of course! Of course!"
As he spoke, he disregarded the occasion and bowed to Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi with clasped hands.
Although his actions were apologetic, what he said was: "This humble official wishes Prince Yong'an and Miss Su a long and happy marriage, and that they grow old together!"
Ye Ziyu raised an eyebrow, "Then I accept Lord He's auspicious words!"
After saying that, he actually reached out and picked Su Muxi up in his arms.
Su Muxi instinctively wrapped her arms around Ye Zeyu's neck and exclaimed softly, "What are you doing!"
Ye Zeyu coldly surveyed the surroundings before resting his head on Su Muxi's forehead, saying, "Holding me close makes me feel more at ease, lest someone try to steal my bride away."
Su Muxi's pretty face flushed red as she leaned her head on Ye Zeyu's shoulder, looking obedient and docile. The men present couldn't help but clench their fists at the sight.
Some people envy it, while others resent it.
Just as Ye Zeyu was about to carry Su Muxi away from the hall.
The older little girl spoke up again.
"Miss Su, Prince Yong'an, please save us! We told the truth, and that nobleman is definitely going to kill us! Please take us with you! We're willing to be your slaves, your servants, your horses! Please!"
His head thumped repeatedly, a testament to his sincerity.
The old man and the other little girl followed suit.
In a short while, blood was drawn from the heads of the three men, but Su Muxi showed no mercy.
She is no longer just the Su Muxi she used to be.
"If only you had come to me in the first place."
Su Muxi spoke softly, and upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu kissed Su Muxi's forehead in silent comfort before turning away without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, the older little girl hurriedly called out to Su Muxi, "Miss Su, everyone outside says you're kind-hearted. Can you really bear to watch us die?!"
Sensing Ye Zeyu's anger, Su Muxi said softly, "Just ignore him. Let's hurry up and go to the wedding ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu quickened his pace.
Seeing no hope of entering the Yong'an Prince's mansion, the little girl quickly turned to look at He Zhengyang. "Although he's wearing a cap, I recognize his voice; it's exactly the same as the nobleman who was with Young Master Zheng this morning..."
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi stopped listening.
The little girl was indeed hiding something, but it was too late to tell her now.
...
When others get married, the bride sits in a sedan chair, but when Su Muxi got married, she was held in Ye Zeyu's arms and rode together on a horse.
Most importantly, the bride did not wear a red veil.
Along the way, it attracted countless eyes.
But the two people sitting on the horse could only sense each other.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
Since the Empress Dowager could not leave the palace, she specially sent Granny Gao over.
After Granny Gao finished shouting her last words, Ye Ziyu finally felt at ease.
"Xi'er, you are finally my wife."
Ye Zeyu held Su Muxi's hand, his eyes filled with deep affection, and a layer of mist even appeared in his eyes.
Su Muxi also felt a little soreness in her nose.
She tightened her grip on Ye Zeyu's large hand.
From this day forward, if Ye Zeyu remains loyal and devoted, whether in wealth or poverty, in glory or in despair, she will stand by his side without hesitation!
Meanwhile, news of Princess Chang Le's brutal killing of a beggar also quietly spread.
