After Wei Yichen left, before Su Muxi could speak, Su Xing said with a smile, "Alright, don't worry, I'm not senile yet, I won't go back to Jinzhou with him."
They then changed the subject and looked at Ye Zeyu and the pile of gifts he had brought.
"Why are you back today?"
Ye Zeyu bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, explaining that he wanted to return to the military camp.
“Father-in-law, please take good care of Xi’er while I’m away from the capital.”
"What are you saying? Xi'er is my daughter, it's my duty to take care of her." After saying that, Su Xing suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh, "But I'm afraid I can't really take care of Xi'er."
Thanks to the help of Grand Secretary Shen, he has now completely resigned from the Imperial Medical Academy and become an ordinary citizen.
Previously, he was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and there was nothing he could do when his daughter was wronged in the Marquis of Anyang's residence.
Now that he's a very idle man, and his daughter has become the Princess of Yong'an, he's afraid he won't be able to help her much if anything happens to her.
Su Muxi grabbed Su Xing's hand and said coquettishly, "Dad, why can't you take care of me? Otherwise, I'll take care of you instead. In any case, you have to stay by your daughter's side forever!"
...
After leaving the Su residence, Su Muxi's smile disappeared.
Inside the carriage, Ye Zeyu held Su Muxi in his arms and asked softly, "Xi'er, what's wrong?"
“I can tell that my father wants to go back to Jinzhou. After being away from home for so many years, who wouldn’t want to go back…”
But my father stayed behind for my sake…
"Ye Ziyu, tell me, am I being too selfish?"
Ye Zeyu pondered for a moment before speaking: "Actually, the people I sent to Jinzhou to inquire this morning brought back news that your grandfather is indeed ill, but he is forcing himself to handle all the big and small matters of the Su family."
Most importantly, the Su family has not yet chosen a successor. If something were to happen to your grandfather, the Su family would likely be thrown into chaos.
The Su family is such a large piece of meat that not only its own members are eyeing it, but outsiders are also eyeing it covetously.
Therefore, Jinzhou is indeed not a peaceful place nowadays. Especially for the Su family.
Su Muxi grew up in the capital and had no feelings for the Su family in Jinzhou. So when she heard about the Su family's current situation, she was not worried. She even thought that it wouldn't matter if the Su family really fell apart.
But she knew that her father had grown up in the Su family and still had feelings for them. Most importantly, her grandfather, the current head of the Su family, was also in the family.
Why hasn't the Su family chosen a successor?
Su Muxi wondered if her grandfather had been waiting for her father to return, thinking that the good things should not go to outsiders.
But her grandfather has never written a letter urging her father to go back all these years.
But then Ye Zeyu said, "Because the direct descendants of the Su family, those who are qualified to become the head of the Su family, are either dead or sick, and the young people in the collateral branches who have some ability have also encountered various problems."
Two years ago, your grandfather was adopted by one of his children, but he died unexpectedly less than half a month later. Since then, he has never mentioned it again.
Su Muxi's embroidered eyebrows gradually furrowed, and after a long while she spoke, "If that's the case, why hasn't anyone made a move against my grandfather?"
Ye Zeyu's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I'm afraid someone is greedy and wants the whole piece of fat meat that is the Su family. If something happens to your grandfather, the Su family will definitely fall apart, and then many people will be able to take a bite."
“It’s the Wei family!” Su Muxi said decisively.
"In that case, my father can't go back to Jinzhou!"
Ye Zeyu pulled Su Muxi into his arms and said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, I know I shouldn't have let my father-in-law go to Jinzhou, but I'm a man too, and I understand what he's thinking. If something really happens to the Su family, I'm afraid my father-in-law will regret it and feel guilty for the rest of his life."
Su Muxi remained silent.
Yes, if it were her, upon learning of the trouble at home, even knowing that her home was now a den of wolves, she would definitely run home without hesitation.
So Father really wanted to go back and visit, but he couldn't because of her.
"Ye Ziyu, do you have connections in Jinzhou?"
Hearing Su Muxi ask this question, Ye Zeyu knew that she had figured it out.
He leaned close to Su Muxi's ear and said in a hoarse voice, "If Xi'er kisses me, Jinzhou will have someone."
Su Muxi felt the heat emanating from Ye Zeyu's breath, and her body went weak. She glared at Ye Zeyu and muttered, "You're so frivolous."
But Ying Li obediently kissed Ye Zeyu's lips.
Ye Zeyu took the opportunity to hold Su Muxi's head by the back, and the hand around Su Muxi's waist gradually tightened, and a magnetic voice echoed from their mouths.
"Xi'er, I'm leaving today, and I really can't be serious..."
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Prince Yong'an's residence.
Ye Zeyu reluctantly released Su Muxi and said in a hoarse voice, "Xi'er, I will do my best to protect my father-in-law. Give me two days to make arrangements."
"Take good care of yourself while I'm gone, and go to McQueen if you need anything."
"Now that you are the master of the Prince's mansion, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy."
"Also, regarding Bai Mengying, people from Ganzhou will arrive in ten days at the latest. This time, I will definitely strip her of her proud title of princess and make her receive the punishment she deserves!"
Su Muxi blinked.
Ganzhou?
Bai Mengying returned from Ganzhou after being widowed.
"Could Prince Jing's death be related to Bai Mengying?"
Su Muxi blurted out the words without thinking, but the words surprised even herself.
Bai Mengying went so far as to scheme to make Qiao Ziming break his leg in order to marry Prince Jing. After successfully marrying him, how could she possibly kill him?
Ye Zeyu gently tidied Su Muxi's stray hairs and said softly, "My Xi'er is so smart. It was indeed Bai Mengying who killed my cousin, Prince Jing."
My original intention in returning to the capital was simply to clear Uncle Yu's name; I didn't want to get involved in other matters.
But Bai Mengying has tried to harm my Xi'er time and time again, and I have to get my revenge.
Otherwise, if I let my woman constantly suffer, I wouldn't be a real man.
As he spoke, Ye Zeyu took Su Muxi's hand and kissed it. "Xi'er, I'm not Qiao Zimo. I'm someone you can rely on, so you don't need to be so strong. What I need isn't a dignified, gentle, considerate, and well-mannered princess. All I need is for you to be my princess."
So, Xi'er, from now on you don't have to be so sensible. You can be willful whenever you want.
Even if I'm not in the capital, I will do everything in my power to protect you.
