Su Muxi wanted to suggest finding another partner, but after seeing the dangerous aura emanating from Ye Zeyu's eyes, she hesitated and changed her approach.
"All I want is freedom. Although I haven't met anyone I'm willing to entrust my life to yet, I hope that person is someone I choose myself, not someone I'm given a royal decree to."
Upon hearing Su Muxi say that she didn't have anyone she liked, the chill around Ye Zeyu slowly dissipated.
Since she didn't have anyone she liked, in the end, Su Muxi could only marry him. After all, they had already been intimate, and it was only right that he take responsibility for Su Muxi.
"Miss Su was so nervous about Marquis Anyang during the day, and even suspected me because of it. Why have you suddenly changed your mind now? Could it be that Miss Su came here to test me on behalf of Marquis Anyang?"
Although Ye Zeyu said those words, there was a hint of pleasure in his voice, clearly indicating that he didn't actually think that way.
However, Xiao Ce, who was standing to the side, felt that Ye Zeyu's words made a lot of sense. He immediately stepped forward and questioned Su Muxi sternly: "Speak! What brings you to my master in the middle of the night?!"
Su Muxi held back for a moment, but couldn't help rolling her eyes.
She stared coldly at Ye Zeyu and retorted, "When did I ever doubt you? You asked me to trust you, did I say I didn't? I just asked you to let me go!"

Regardless of Ye Zeyu's purpose in going to the Marquis of Anyang's residence, he did indeed help her vent her anger.
She wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. Not wanting Ye Zeyu to think she was unreasonable, and also afraid that Ye Zeyu would be so upset that he couldn't sleep, she hesitated again and again before choosing to come over late at night to explain and discuss the terms.
I never expected to be questioned like this.
This made Su Muxi feel both angry and wronged.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu subconsciously stood up from his seat, looked at Su Muxi, and asked, word by word, "You mean you believe me and have never doubted me?"
But then Su Muxi pointed at Xiao Ce beside her and said, "I don't believe you, I believe him!"
Xiao Ce looked at Su Muxi, then at Ye Zeyu, and pointed to himself with an incredulous expression, "You believe me?!"
