"Is the eldest brother planning to disown his younger brother and take the beauty back to his mansion?"
Ye Zeyu frowned slightly as he looked at Su Muxi in his arms.
beauty?
Su Muxi also frowned. Just from one sentence, she felt that the Second Prince was not the person described in the rumors.
That sarcastic tone—where is the respectful and humble gentleman?!
And is using the word "beauty" to describe her a deliberate mockery of her appearance?!
Ye Zeyu did not lift the carriage curtain, but said coldly, "There is only me in the carriage, and no beauties. It is too late today, and my second brother has been traveling for a long time. It would be better to go back to the manor to rest. I think Father will hold a palace banquet tomorrow, and then you and I can catch up properly."
"Oh? I thought you were personally escorting your future sister-in-law back to her residence, so you just happened to be passing by the Su residence?"
"I was indeed just passing by. I'm afraid my second brother isn't going that way. It's late and the dew is heavy. Please make yourself at home, and I won't keep you company!"
As soon as Ye Ziyu finished speaking, the guards outside drove the carriage toward the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.
Ye Zerui reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, glancing at the direction Ye Zeyu's carriage had left, then at the Su family's gate not far ahead, a hint of doubt flashing in his phoenix eyes.
"Go and find out where Big Brother went tonight and what his relationship is with that Su Muxi."
"yes."
Ye Zerui lowered the carriage curtain and leaned wearily against the carriage wall.
He just happened to be passing by, but he never expected to run into Ye Zeyu.
He hadn't given much thought to Ye Zeyu's request for his father to grant him a marriage with Su Muxi.
Although he had never seen Su Muxi's face, he had heard a lot about her.
Ye Zeyu was not interested in women, so it was even less likely that he would look at an ugly woman differently.
The request for an imperial decree to grant the marriage was probably just a temporary measure, firstly to put the emperor at ease, and secondly to annoy the Marquis of Anyang.
After all, Ye Zeyu's respected royal uncle was betrayed by the Marquis of Anyang, which ultimately led to his death in the capital.
But now he can't quite see through it.
If Ye Zeyu wasn't the only one in the car just now, then his actions were to protect Su Muxi.
Oh!
interesting!
Meanwhile, Ye Zeyu only released Su Muxi after the carriage had been traveling for quite some time.
"Sit down to the side."
His voice was icy, devoid of any tenderness, and even carried a hint of disdain.
This actually relieved Su Muxi.
She was genuinely worried that Ye Zeyu had rather unique tastes and might have ulterior motives towards her.
After obediently sitting down to the side, Su Muxi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why did you lie to the Second Prince just now? Couldn't you have just said you would take me back to the manor?"
Ye Ziyu brushed off imaginary dust from his clothes and asked coldly, "Do you know what it means for me to personally escort you back to your residence?"
"...With the imperial decree of marriage in hand, why should we be afraid of gossip?"
However, as soon as Su Muxi finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and continued with some disbelief, "Were you protecting me just now?"
Now it was Ye Zeyu's turn to be surprised.
He could tell that Su Muxi was somewhat clever, but he didn't expect her to have such a brain.
If this engagement can't be called off in the end, marrying Su Muxi back to the manor isn't out of the question.
