Stepping into the Marquis of Anyang's residence again, Su Muxi felt as if she had been transported to another world.
The servants in the mansion all seemed to have lost their memory, and when they saw her, they would respectfully call her "Young Madam".
Su Muxi neither explained nor agreed.
She only wanted to finish examining Qiao Ziming's leg as quickly as possible and then leave.
Upon entering again, she felt as if the Marquis of Anyang's residence were a prison, making her feel suffocated and causing her to exude an aura of rejection.
Qiao Xiuyuan saw Su Muxi's expression and her rejection, and once again felt an urge to kill the Jiang family.
This family doesn't really need anyone else, as long as Xi'er is here.
If those people still can't see reality after Xi'er comes back, he wouldn't mind taking care of them himself!
Qiao Ziming looked at Su Muxi and Qiao Xiuyuan as they walked in, his peach blossom eyes filled with complex emotions.
He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to face Su Muxi, let alone how to win her back.
Seeing the warning in his father's eyes, Qiao Ziming's Adam's apple bobbed, and he hesitated before saying, "Mu Xi, thank you for coming."
Su Muxi was quite surprised; these were words that Qiao Ziming shouldn't have said.
But then he realized that Qiao Xiuyuan must have beaten Qiao Ziming up for Qiao Ziming to act this way.
She gave a slight twitch of her lips and said in a distant tone, "Your Highness, there's no need for thanks. I only came because of the Marquis."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and began to examine Qiao Ziming's legs, hoping to finish quickly and leave as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiuyuan excused himself and left, saying he needed to change his clothes.
Along with them, all the servants in the courtyard disappeared, leaving only Qiao Ziming and Su Muxi.
Looking at Su Muxi's profile without any birthmark, Qiao Ziming felt his heart pounding.
After Su Muxi noticed this, her movements became even gentler.
"Don't be afraid, I have no intention of revenge, and I hope you can get better soon."
Qiao Ziming's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he murmured, "You hope I can get better as soon as possible?"
Su Muxi looked at Qiao Ziming with a serious expression and said, "Yes, that way the Marquis will have no reason to ask me to come, and only then can we truly sever ties."
"hiss!"
As Su Muxi spoke, she gently pinched the spot where Qiao Ziming had just been injured, causing Qiao Ziming to gasp in surprise.
He felt the pain in his leg spread throughout his body, and even his heart ached slightly.
"It's a good thing you feel pain. Your leg is better than I expected; it seems that Physician Li and Physician Wang have been treating you diligently these past two days. The Marquis didn't break your leg; it's just a slight fracture that will heal in a few days. The main reason you can't stand up is due to your lumbar spine..."
Qiao Ziming looked at Su Muxi's cherry lips opening and closing and felt that whether he could stand up or not was no longer so urgent. Anyway, with Su Muxi around, it was only a matter of time before he could stand up.
What puzzled him was that Su Muxi seemed to have become much prettier. Even though she still had that ugly birthmark on her face, she no longer looked repulsive.
Could it be...?
What is your relationship with Xie Xuan?
Are you even listening to me?
Qiao Ziming and Su Muxi spoke at the same time.
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi's expression instantly turned cold. "What is my relationship with Young Master Xie, and what is my connection with the Crown Prince? And on what behalf of the Crown Prince are you questioning me?"
Qiao Ziming was speechless after Su Muxi's words and didn't know how to respond.
He had just thought of the saying "women dress up for those they love," and that Su Muxi might have fallen in love, which was why she looked so much prettier than before.
The only person who could stir Su Muxi's heart was Xie Xuan.
His father told him to win back Su Muxi, so that Su Muxi would become his wife later.
No man could tolerate the thought of his wife dressing up for another man and being with another man.
However, he didn't have the right to question Su Muxi right now, so he gritted his teeth and could only suppress his anger.
In a tone that seemed to say, "We were husband and wife after all. I just don't want you to be deceived by Xie Xuan. We studied at the Imperial Academy together. His reputation for womanizing is well-known. Do you think he would change his ways for you? You are of low status, ugly, and a second wife. Let alone Xie Xuan, even an ordinary man wouldn't marry you."
Therefore, you can consider remarrying into the Marquis's household.
Qiao Ziming almost blurted out the last sentence.
Fortunately, he stopped talking in time.
Otherwise, I don't know how Su Muxi would look at him.
Although his father wanted him to win back Su Muxi, he didn't want to bring it up right away.
He didn't want Su Muxi to think he regretted the divorce; he wanted Su Muxi to fall in love with him and then take the initiative to propose remarriage.
Instead of him asking for it.
Even if he could never stand up again, he would still be more than a match for Su Muxi.
Apart from him, no other man would truly be indifferent to Su Muxi's appearance, nor would any other man genuinely treat Su Muxi well.
Therefore, Su Muxi could only return to the Marquis of Anyang's residence in the end.
Su Muxi was unaware of Qiao Ziming's thoughts, but upon seeing the smug look gradually appearing in Qiao Ziming's eyes, a cold smile involuntarily curled at the corner of her lips.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. However, there's no need to remind me repeatedly how inadequate I am. I am well aware of my shortcomings. On the contrary, Your Highness, you should spend more time caring about your own legs than about others."
Qiao Ziming wanted to explain, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
