In the carriage, Su Muxi looked at the pastries in front of her, then at Ye Zeyu, who was sitting to the side with his eyes closed, and felt that something was not quite right.
She said she wasn't going to eat and wanted to go straight home.
As a result, Ye Ziyu not only gave her a bag of snacks, but also personally took her home.
Is it really necessary to be so kind?
He clearly treated her like she was unworthy and ignored her when they were at Xunfanglou.
But now they're sharing a carriage...
"What? Afraid I'll poison you?"
Ye Zeyu suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, startling Su Muxi.
After calming herself down, Su Muxi decided to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Ye Zeyu.
"Why are you seeing me off? And why are you riding in the same carriage as me?"
Su Muxi naturally wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Ye Zeyu did this because he liked her.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zeyu said calmly, "I'm taking you in a carriage because I'm afraid you'll frighten passersby."
As he spoke, Ye Ziyu leaned back, his broad shoulders resting against the car wall, his long arms casually draped over his bent knees, his posture relaxed and carefree.
Although she couldn't see his expression, Su Muxi knew that Ye Zeyu must be looking amused.
The cold-faced king can actually joke!
Is this the same Yong'an Prince who was cold and unsmiling just now?
Then Ye Zeyu continued, "As for why I personally escorted you, it was naturally to give Miss Su a chance to open up."
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi instantly snapped back to reality.
It seems Ye Zeyu had planned this all along, waiting for her to be the first to break off the engagement!
She had already made it very clear during the day that she was not good enough for him, and had politely refused the marriage proposal many times.
But Ye Zeyu insisted on marrying her, so was Ye Zeyu actually setting a trap for her with the marriage?
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
This was the only reason Su Muxi could think of.
Ye Zeyu had something he wanted her to do.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Ye Ziyu made a move, his strong body moving closer to Su Muxi.
When they got closer, Su Muxi could faintly smell the refreshing fragrance emanating from him.
His deep black eyes gleamed in the dim light of the carriage, and as his thin lips parted slightly, a deep voice slowly escaped from his throat.
"Miss Su is indeed a clever woman. I only need Miss Su to help me obtain one thing from Marquis Anyang. Once I have the item, whether you are willing to become my queen or find another suitable partner, I will grant your wish."
Unexpectedly, Su Muxi refused to speak without the slightest hesitation.
"Impossible! The Marquis of Anyang saved my father's life, I will not help you!"
After saying that, she tried to lift the curtain and get out of the car, but Ye Zeyu grabbed her wrist.
"I haven't even told you what to take yet!"
"I don't need to know, and I don't want to know. Even if it's something that's easy to get, I wouldn't deign to help someone as despicable and cunning as you get it!"
Su Muxi was once again thankful that she hadn't agreed to the Empress Dowager's offer to marry the man before her three years ago.
She had thought Ye Zeyu's personal visit to propose marriage was to save face for her, but she never expected that he wanted to use her to get close to Marquis Anyang!
Indeed, there aren't many people who know how to repay kindness, especially men!
Qiao Ziming is!
Ye Zeyu too!
Then he thought of Yan'er.
"Yan'er has been gone for three years. Why did you only think of coming to find Yan'er on the second day after you returned to the capital?"
"Oh!"
"Don't tell me you're not in the capital and there's no way to find you."
"I refuse to believe that as the eldest prince, you don't have a single person in the capital who can do things for you!"
"Even if there's no one else, surely there's no silver?!"
At this point, Su Muxi felt Ye Zeyu release her wrist.
But she didn't stop there; instead, she continued to question, "So what exactly are you going to do to Yan'er?!"
Ye Ziyu leaned back into his original position, exuding a cold aura. "I do things without needing to explain myself to others."
Seeing that Ye Zeyu didn't offer any explanation, Su Muxi's heart sank even further. "So you really are planning to use Yan'er to do something for you!"
Ye Zeyu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with Su Muxi's words.
Just then, the carriage stopped, and the hesitant voice of a guard could be heard outside.
"Your Highness... we've arrived at the Su residence..."
Ye Ziyu said coldly, "Miss Su, please get out of the car."
Su Muxi didn't move, but stared coldly at Ye Zeyu, as if she wouldn't get out of the car until she got a reply from him.
Seeing this, Ye Ziyu did not answer Su Muxi's question. Instead, he slightly curled his lips and suddenly asked out of the blue, "Miss Su said that Marquis Anyang saved Physician Su's life? Then, did Miss Su ask as many questions as today as she did, inquiring why Marquis Anyang saved your father?"
"Although I have never met Physician Su and do not know how skilled he is, I suppose that since he has been able to sit in the position of Chief Physician, his medical skills must be quite good."
"The Empress was just feeling weak and dizzy, it wasn't some kind of difficult or complicated illness, so the medicine prescribed by Physician Su should be fine. But how could the Empress have been dizzy for a whole day and night? And just when the Emperor was about to punish Physician Su, the Marquis of Anyang happened to be with the Emperor and pleaded for him."
"Is this coincidence a matter of fate or human intervention? Doesn't Miss Su want to find out?"
"Furthermore, Miss Su wasn't famous three years ago, so why did the Marquis of Anyang choose you to be his daughter-in-law?"
"I have also heard that since Miss Su married into the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis of Anyang has doted on her as if she were his own daughter. At that time, Miss Su had not yet healed the Marquis of Anyang's heir's leg, nor had she removed the scar on the face of the Marquis of Anyang's daughter. Could it be that the Marquis of Anyang simply admires Miss Su as a person?"
"Miss Su is intelligent. Do you think all of this is reasonable?"
The more Su Muxi listened, the colder she felt.
My father has always found what happened back then strange.
The medicine he prescribed was exactly what was needed and could not possibly have worsened the Empress's condition. Could it be that all of this was arranged and designed by the Marquis of Anyang?
She was neither talented nor beautiful, and her status was low, so why would the Marquis of Anyang spend so much effort on her?
"What do you know?"
Su Muxi knew that Ye Zeyu had told her so much with the intention of sowing discord, but she still wanted to know the truth.
But Ye Ziyu said calmly, "Why should I tell you? I am a despicable and cunning man. Doesn't Miss Su fear that I am saying these things just to sow discord?"
Su Muxi was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do about Ye Zeyu.
He's a prince, his status is far higher than hers.
And she really had no right to question the other party.
Is this the truth?
She'll figure it out herself!
Thinking this, Su Muxi prepared to get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, the carriage, which had been stationary, started moving again.
Su Muxi lost her footing and fell backward, much to Ye Zeyu's surprise.
He instinctively tried to dodge Su Muxi, who was falling towards him, but the carriage was too cramped, leaving him nowhere to hide.
He was hesitating whether or not to kick Su Muxi out directly.
Su Muxi had already fallen into his arms...
