When Xiao Ce returned with the croton soup, he saw his master standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking gloomy.
Peeking into the room, Su Muxi was sitting at the table with her back to the door.
The two of them are back to back...
Is he angry?
Could it be that Su Muxi tried to seduce his master, but was rejected by his master again?
Hearing the noise at the door, Su Muxi quickly stood up from the stool and urged Ye Zeyu, "Now that the medicine is ready, let's remove the acupuncture needles. I need to go home and sleep after that."
To Ye Zeyu, these words sounded like Su Muxi was eager to go home.
With a gloomy face, he walked to the bedside and lay down, his deep phoenix eyes fixed on Su Muxi, a dark undercurrent surging within them.
In Su Muxi's eyes, this appearance was the result of Ye Zeyu's anger and dissatisfaction after she rejected Ye Zeyu's proposal.
Therefore, the technique used when starting the needle was somewhat rough.
Even as the last needle was removed, Ye Zeyu didn't even flinch.
You've got guts!
"Alright, I'm going back now. Drink the croton soup while it's hot."
After Su Muxi finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Ye Zeyu said in a deep voice, "Send Miss Su back to her residence."
"No…"
"Go deliver it!"
Ye Zeyu coldly interrupted Su Muxi's refusal.
Seeing this, Xiao Ce looked left and right. Even if he was stupid, he could sense that something was wrong between the two.
While she was hesitating, Ye Zeyu snatched the soup bowl from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"You've finished your medicine, hurry up and take Miss Su there!"
"Ah! Yes!"
Xiao Ce seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly stood up and walked to Su Muxi's side.
"Miss Su, please, I will escort you back to your residence."
In Xiao Ce's view, his master was eager to get rid of Su Muxi.
Fearing to displease his master, he changed his form of address from "subordinate" to "this humble one".
He previously thought that if the prince took Su Muxi, then Su Muxi would definitely be his princess.
But now it seems that Su Muxi has no chance!
Su Muxi didn't say anything more, but snorted coldly and left quickly.
snort!
Like Qiao Ziming, he is an ungrateful person!
Xiao Ce drove the carriage himself. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the Su residence, and hearing no movement from inside, he thought about how he had troubled Su Muxi late at night. Even if he hadn't done anything great, he had still put in a lot of effort. So, after hesitating for a long time, he decided to say a few words of comfort to her.
“Miss Su, my master has a natural aversion to women, and perhaps it's not just targeting you…”
There are plenty of men in the world, and some of them don't care about looks...
“Miss Su, there’s no need for you to keep an eye on my master. My master is aloof and doesn’t like to talk much…”
…
Su Muxi felt inexplicably annoyed by Xiao Ce's rambling.
What exactly do you want to tell me?
Upon hearing that the other party was ignoring his advice, Xiao Ce steeled his resolve, turned around, lifted the carriage curtain, looked directly at Su Muxi inside, and loudly proclaimed, "Miss Su, if you are willing, I can marry you!"
“…”
Su Muxi was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xiao Ce's heroic appearance, she suddenly sneered.
"Oh!"
Xiao Ce: "..."
What does "呵" mean?
You look down on him?
He was young and strong, and quite handsome, more than a match for Su Muxi. How could Su Muxi not even look at him?!
"Stop the car! I've arrived."
Su Muxi's voice was cold, and her face was also full of coldness.
Xiao Ce instinctively tightened the reins, and the carriage slowly came to a stop.
Su Muxi got out of the car with a swift movement. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Ce looking defiant. His red lips curled up, and his ugly red birthmark looked quite eerie in the night.
Even though Xiao Ce had experienced many grand occasions, he couldn't help but shudder.
"If you're going to waste your time trying to persuade me, you'd be better off trying to persuade your lord. As for you..."
At this point, Su Muxi took a deep breath, gave a forced smile, and continued, "I'm not good enough for you either."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the back door.
Is this because they feel sorry for her since no one wants her?
Oh!
man!
Xiao Ce didn't catch the sarcasm in Su Muxi's tone; he only felt that Su Muxi was speaking the truth.
This also dampened most of his arrogance.
Looking at Su Muxi's back again, a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes.
She has a good figure and excellent medical skills, but she has a birthmark on her face…
well!
He's a pitiful person too!
On the way back to the Prince's mansion, Xiao Ce thought carefully about what Su Muxi had said before she left, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
You want me to persuade my lord?
What advice should I give the prince?
Marry her?
But didn't Su Muxi say that she's not good enough for me? If she's not even good enough for me, why is she still fantasizing about her master?
After returning to the manor, Xiao Ce intended to immediately report to Ye Zeyu and check if the effects of the medicine on Ye Zeyu had completely worn off, but Tang Yan stopped him at the courtyard gate.
"Guard Xiao!"
Since Yan'er has reformed and returned to her original name, Tang Yan.
Although his illness has not been cured, he can now walk around a little.
Upon seeing Tang Yan, Xiao Ce asked in confusion, "Miss Tang, why are you out? Is something the matter?"
Tang Yan looked at the guards standing outside Ye Zeyu's courtyard, her eyes filled with worry, and asked, "Has something happened to His Highness?"
"Your Highness is unharmed, Miss Tang, you should go back."
He wouldn't casually discuss his master's affairs with outsiders, especially since his master had told him to keep today's events a secret.
Tang Yan came here only because the maid said she saw Miss Su coming out of the prince's courtyard.
