McQueen was taller and louder than Ah Wong, and with the murderous intent emanating from him, he only had to shout once to frighten Ah Wong into silence.
Qiao Ziming's face was gloomy as he looked at Mai Kun, who was guarding the carriage, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He then said to Su Muxi in the carriage, "The situation in Jinzhou is complicated. If Princess Yong'an doesn't want to hear about it, don't regret it later!"
Having said that, he got into his carriage.
The two sides remained silent as they slowly drove towards Jinzhou.
Inside the carriage, Bai Zhi hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Your Highness, should I ask the Prince about the situation in Jinzhou? After all, His Majesty has asked Your Highness and the Prince to work together to resolve the plague in Fukang County. If things get too tense, it might not be good."
To prevent the spread of the plague, Fukang County had closed its city gates, and no one knew what the situation inside the city was at that time.
Su Muxi was someone Bai Zhi would risk her life to protect, and now that Su Muxi was pregnant, she couldn't afford to suffer any mishaps.
That's why Bai Zhi thought of asking Qiao Ziming about the situation, just in case Qiao Ziming really knew something, so they could take precautions in advance.
Su Muxi slowly shook her head. "No need. If the prince's secret guards can't find out the information, Qiao Zimo might not be able to find out either. Besides, I won't be the one who regrets it. Just wait and see. Within half a day, Qiao Zimo will definitely take the initiative to speak to me. However, he absolutely cannot be allowed to get into this carriage."
McQueen, who was listening intently outside the carriage curtain, immediately assured her, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will guard the carriage and protect you!"
Seeing this, Zhong Bin, who was rushing to catch the carriage, retorted without backing down, "I will certainly protect the Princess!"
Unexpectedly, the carriage was stopped shortly after leaving the city.
"Princess Yong'an! I happen to be traveling to Jinzhou. Would it be possible for me to travel with you?"
Upon hearing this voice, Su Muxi couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows slightly.
It was Xie Xuan.
Before Su Muxi could speak, Qiao Ziming couldn't sit still any longer.
"Thank you, Princess Consort Yong'an and I are on His Majesty's orders to deal with the plague in Jinzhou, not to go sightseeing. Therefore, it is inconvenient for us to travel together. Please make yourselves at home!"
Xie Xuan was annoyed by Qiao Ziming, and now seeing Qiao Ziming's arrogance, he felt even more furious.
"Your Highness really is used to looking down on people from the mountaintop! Did I say that I went to Jinzhou for sightseeing? As a citizen of Qi, upon hearing that a plague had broken out in Jinzhou, I wanted to do my part for the people of Jinzhou. Is that not allowed?"
What? Does that mean that among the men of Qi, only the Crown Prince is of noble character, while the rest are just idlers who eat and drink all day long?
"Your Highness, you've overestimated yourself and looked down on others!"
Su Muxi originally wanted to persuade Xie Xuan to leave, but now she has changed her mind.
He lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out at Xie Xuan.
He asked softly, "Young Master Xie, are you planning to go to Fukang County on your way to Jinzhou?"
Xie Xuan hurriedly walked a few steps to Su Muxi's carriage, first bowing to Su Muxi with clasped hands before speaking: "Your Highness, I am indeed planning to go to Fukang County. I had a close friend who lived in Fukang County before. I heard that there was a plague in Fukang County, and I was worried. So I thought I would go there to see and do my best to help the people there."
Qiao Ziming felt uneasy seeing Su Muxi's gentle attitude towards Xie Xuan.
Why is Su Muxi so gentle to everyone else, but so repulsed by him?
What is it about him that makes him inferior to Ye Zeyu and Xie Xuan?!
"Hmph! Young Master Xie only knows how to paint for those prostitutes. He probably won't be of any help in Jinzhou! So it's better for him to return to the capital as soon as possible, lest he catch the plague and cause us trouble!"
Qiao Ziming scoffed dismissively.
Xie Xuan replied bluntly, "If someone as disabled as the Crown Prince can go, why can't I? The most important thing is that I can humble myself and follow the orders of Princess Yong'an and the local government. In this respect alone, I am much better than that person."
As he spoke, Xie Xuan deliberately glanced at Qiao Ziming's gloved right hand, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.
Qiao Ziming clenched his fists, a murderous intent rising in his heart.
He wanted to kill Xie Xuan, the annoying man in front of him, and even more so Ye Zeyu, who stole his wife and cut off his finger!
Su Muxi ignored Qiao Ziming and said to Xie Xuan, "Since Young Master Xie is so kind, why don't you travel with us? That way we can look after each other."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan was overjoyed and, forgetting about Qiao Ziming, hurriedly went to the car window and handed a thick stack of envelopes to Su Muxi.
"Your Highness, this is some information I have gathered about Fukang County and the surrounding towns and villages. I hope it will be helpful for this trip."
Su Muxi did not reach for the letter.
Just as Qiao Ziming was about to make a mocking remark about Xie Xuan, Su Muxi spoke softly, "Young Master Xie, please get into the carriage. We can talk as we travel."
Xie Xuan looked flattered and then bowed to Su Muxi before getting into the carriage as instructed.
Qiao Ziming was furious watching from the side. He was about to call Xie Xuan down when he was stopped by the servant Awang.
“Young Master, Miss Su is stubborn, so we should go along with her. I suppose Xie Xuan was able to get into Miss Su’s carriage because he did what Miss Su wanted.”
Actually, what Ah Wang wanted to say was that Xie Xuan did it because he was respectful of etiquette.
After all, Xie Xuan didn't get on the carriage directly from the beginning, and he even bowed to Miss Su before getting on. Compared to that, his young master really didn't know any manners. If he were Miss Su, he would probably be angry too.
Qiao Ziming frowned. "Then how should I, the young master, comply with Su Muxi's wishes?"
Previously, when he was with Bai Mengying, as long as he spoke gently, Bai Mengying would show a shy expression.
At home, he only needed to glance at Can'er to make her eyes light up with excitement and make her happy all day.
This morning, he personally went to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion to pick her up, his face beaming with smiles. What could Su Muxi possibly be dissatisfied with?!
Awang thought for a moment, then hesitated before saying, “We are going to Anping Town tonight. Why don’t you order a table of dishes that Miss Su likes? Take good care of Miss Su’s diet and daily life along the way. In this way, even if you don’t say anything, Miss Su will still see your feelings for her.”
Qiao Ziming thought about it and felt that it made some sense.
My father said that Su Muxi is the most soft-hearted and grateful person. As long as he treats her well, he will definitely be able to win her over!
At the very least, he is more sincere than Ye Ziyu and Xie Xuan!
How long have Ye Zeyu and Xie Xuancai known Su Muxi? If they hadn't known that the birthmark on Su Muxi's face could be removed, how could they have gotten close to Su Muxi!
Unlike him, who genuinely wanted to remarry Su Muxi.
Xie Xuan boarded Su Muxi's carriage with a joyful expression, but Su Muxi put away her gentle smile and her indifferent eyes made Xie Xuan feel uneasy.
