Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't say anything, his reaction said it all.
His vigilance immediately intensified, and he already regarded Su Muxi as a spy of Northern Yan. Otherwise, how could the other party have investigated him so thoroughly, even knowing about his sleepless nights?
Unexpectedly, the other party patted the medicine box on his shoulder and said loudly, "I am a doctor. I saw that you were sick, so I wanted to treat you with acupuncture. I didn't expect you to point a knife at me!"
"You didn't even say anything before trying to stab me! Did I ask you to treat me? Besides, who practices medicine with such a big needle? I think you're just making excuses!"
Xiao Ce did not believe the other party's explanation.
But then the other person continued, "Your master didn't tell me beforehand that he was riding a horse in the street! Otherwise, I would have been prepared and wouldn't have been so startled! As for you..."

Xiao Ce stepped forward and complained in a low voice.
Ye Zeyu, however, remained calm and said indifferently, "It's good that you suffer a loss, so that you won't always meddle in other people's business."
After saying that, he continued walking inside.
Xiao Ce hurriedly followed, saying indignantly, "If I don't do anything, that woman, with her shrewish manner, will definitely come in and argue with our master!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Zeyu said with great certainty, "She won't."
Su Muxi would be angry, but she wouldn't go up and argue with him.
Xiao Ce asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Ye Zeyu smiled and said, "Because she still needs my help."
