Qiao Ziming realized that Xie Xuan knew about Su Muxi's pregnancy, so these past few days, Su Muxi and Xie Xuan had been watching him and Liang Juan together with amusement in their eyes.
"Your Highness?"
Hearing Liang Juan's worried whisper, Qiao Ziming felt even more depressed.
What kind of woman understands another woman best?
What? Su Muxi is jealous.
Liang Juan is clearly talking nonsense!
"Get out of here!"
Liang Juan was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, crying and begging Qiao Ziming not to send her away.
Su Muxi had no time to pay attention to the two of them. With Bai Zhi's help, she led a group of guards toward the Su family's old residence.
As he passed by Chang Zhong, he gave Chang Zhong a deep look.
She had been keeping an eye on Chang Zhong for the past few days and had also asked Mai Kun to keep a close eye on Chang Zhong's movements, but Chang Zhong had not made any unusual moves, which made Su Muxi even more confused.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Chang Zhong didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her, but he seemed to be full of malice towards Qiao Ziming.
Is Chang Zhong really planning to kill Qiao Ziming when he gets the chance?
Inside the Su family's old residence, Wei Yichen looked at Su Hongshuo with a worried expression and urged again, "Grandpa Su, the situation is urgent right now. You should make a decision quickly. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid my father won't be able to help!"
Su Hongshuo coughed a few times, his thin body seemingly about to shatter. He hesitated for a moment, just about to agree, when he heard the gatekeeper rush over.
"My lord, Princess Yong'an has arrived!"
Su Hongshuo was stunned for a moment, and after realizing that the person who came was Su Muxi, he snorted coldly: "Hmph! I told you I was not feeling well and I wouldn't see you!"
Wei Yichen frowned involuntarily.
I thought Su Muxi wouldn't arrive until tonight, but she arrived several hours early. It seems she traveled overnight.
If that's the case, then this marriage should be finalized as soon as possible.
"Grandpa Su..."
However, as soon as Wei Yichen spoke, a series of noisy sounds arose outside the courtyard.
Judging from the noise, it seemed that Su Muxi had barged in with her entourage.
"Outrageous! How could that unfilial son, Su Xing, have given birth to such an ill-mannered daughter!"
"Is the unfilial daughter that Master Su is referring to me, the Princess Consort?!"
Su Muxi's voice arrived before he did.
As soon as she finished speaking, a slender figure walked in from outside the door. Although she was wearing a veil, she still made people's eyes light up.
Su Muxi had originally planned to wait for Su Hongshuo to invite her in, but after hearing that Wei Yichen was also at the Su residence, she changed her mind.
Ye Ziyu said that she can be willful now, so let's just come in!
Otherwise, her stubborn grandfather might have kept her from entering the family for a long time.
Upon seeing Wei Yichen, Su Muxi spoke first, "The Wei family and the Su family are indeed very close. This is my first time visiting the Su family, and I have already seen Young Master Wei. I wonder if Young Master Wei's visit to the Su family this time is also about the plague in Fukang County?"
"My cousin looks a little different than before, it's been a few days since I last saw her."
Wei Yichen narrowed his fox-like eyes and looked Su Muxi up and down.
Is it because she became a princess that she gained confidence?
He was so aggressive the moment he entered; he had underestimated Su Muxi after all!
This was the first time Su Hongshuo had met Su Muxi. When he saw that Su Muxi did not bow to him after entering the room, but greeted others first, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Hmph! They have absolutely no manners!"
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi carefully examined this grandfather she had never met before.
He had a thin face, medium build, and sword-like eyebrows and a white beard, giving him a mean appearance.
“As the Princess Consort of Yong’an, I have come to Jinzhou to deal with the plague in Fukang County on the Emperor’s orders. Yet you have shown no respect to me. This is truly a lack of manners.”
Su Muxi's words infuriated Su Hongshuo. He pointed at Su Muxi for a long time without being able to say a word. After taking a few deep breaths, he began to cough violently.
Upon seeing this, the butler hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Hongshuo and patted his back for a long time before the coughing stopped.
Wei Yichen didn't expect that Su Muxi was not only aggressive towards him, but also towards Su Hongshuo.
Hesitating to speak, Su Muxi said, "Young Master Wei, I will not hold your rudeness against you, but I have important matters to discuss with the head of the Su family. Please leave."
If Wei Yichen had spoken more tactfully, he might have been able to find a chance to stay and force Su Hongshuo to agree to the marriage.
Since Su Muxi was so direct in telling him to leave, he had no choice but to leave first.
"Wei Yichen greets Princess Yong'an. Since Princess Yong'an has already asked me to leave, I cannot linger any longer. However, my cousin seems to be increasingly disregarding family ties, which saddens me greatly!"
After Wei Yichen finished speaking, seeing that Su Muxi did not react, he could only cup his hands and say to Su Hongshuo, "Grandpa Su, I will come to see you again later. Please take good care of yourself."
As for my cousin Xi'er, it's probably because she's never been back to Jinzhou, so she's inevitably unfamiliar with you. Plus, her current status as a princess makes her feel this way.
So please don't take it to heart.
Su Muxi merely scoffed at Wei Yichen's instigation and adding fuel to the fire, ignoring him completely. She coldly watched Wei Yichen, her urging clearly evident.
In the end, Wei Yichen had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
After everyone left, Su Muxi waved her hand to dismiss them all.
Once only she and Su Hongshuo were left in the hall, she spoke calmly to Su Hongshuo, who was sitting in a chair clutching his chest and panting heavily: "Alright, Grandpa, stop pretending."
Su Hongshuo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, forgetting to catch his breath, but then he started panting even more heavily, pointing angrily at Su Muxi, "You unfilial granddaughter, don't call me grandpa!"
To his surprise, Su Muxi stepped forward and took the opportunity to grab his wrist.
What are you doing!
Su Hongshuo hurriedly pulled his wrist back, a look of tension in his eyes.
Su Muxi chuckled and said, "Alright, there are no outsiders here. Grandpa, don't pretend in front of your own granddaughter. You're perfectly healthy, I know that."
Upon hearing this, Su Hongshuo cursed in a deep voice, "That brat Su Xing is a doting father! He tells you everything!"
"Grandpa, you're wronging Father. Father didn't mention in his letter that you were faking illness. I only realized you were faking it when I saw you coughing just now."
As Su Muxi spoke, she moved closer to Su Hongshuo, stared at his face, and asked with great curiosity, "Grandpa, what kind of powder are you wearing? It looks quite natural."
Su Hongshuo leaned back awkwardly. "You have no manners! Sit properly!"
Su Muxi changed her arrogant demeanor when she first came in and sat obediently to the side.
Su Hongshuo coughed awkwardly and then began to carefully examine Su Muxi.
"Tell me, how did you know I was faking illness?"
