The more Xie Xuan got to know Su Muxi, the more he felt that Su Muxi was a good person.
Not only is she smart, but she is also very kind.
Yan'er's body was covered in pustules, and even her maids found it disgusting and refused to come near her.
But Su Muxi showed no disgust whatsoever; instead, she gently treated Yan'er for an entire night.
From wiping Yan'er's body to dressing her and preparing medicine, Su Muxi showed no impatience whatsoever.
Although she is a woman, she truly deserves the title of "benevolent and skilled in medicine".
Seeing Qiao Ziming inevitably reminded him of Su Muxi's divorce from him.
It's one thing to be ungrateful and discard someone after they've served their purpose, but it would be good if we could each live peacefully and leave each other alone from now on.
However, the people from the Marquis of Anyang's mansion kept causing trouble for Su Muxi every few days, which he found unacceptable!
He understands men's thoughts.
Qiao Ziming just thinks Su Muxi is ugly and has a low social status, and that Su Muxi is not good enough for him!
Moreover, judging from what Qiao Ziming said just now, he clearly felt that Su Muxi couldn't live without him and that no one would want her after they divorced!
If that's the case, then he'd better make a good impression on Su Muxi!
After all, Su Muxi had helped him save Yan'er.
But when Xie Xuan grasped Su Muxi's slender hand, his heart inexplicably quickened.
Xie Xuan glanced at Su Muxi's profile, which was half without a birthmark, and swallowed hard.
If Su Muxi didn't have the birthmark on her face, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the capital.
At that time, whether it's an arrogant and aloof young nobleman or a passionate and domineering scion of a prominent family, they will all fall at her feet.
It's a pity that fate had to leave a mark on such a beautiful face.
However, once you get used to the birthmark, it doesn't look as ugly as it used to.
The birthmark was quite strange, though, as it had an uneven texture.
If it weren't for those strange patterns, Su Muxi wouldn't have to worry about scaring people when she went out at night.
Thinking of this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
"Ha ha!"
Seeing the surprise in Su Muxi's eyes, Xie Xuan deliberately squeezed Su Muxi's small hand and smiled brightly.
"Xi'er, I'm just so happy. Do you think this counts as having physical intimacy?"
Su Muxi rolled her eyes at Xie Xuan and forcefully pulled her hand back.
The interaction between the two appeared to Qiao Ziming to be nothing short of flirting. His anger made him speak before he thought, and he coldly questioned, "Su Muxi, where have you been all night!"
Su Muxi turned her head to look at Qiao Ziming, and was about to speak when Xie Xuan interrupted her, saying, "Where you go is none of your business. Since the Marquis of Anyang's heir has already divorced Miss Su, they should each live their own lives and not disturb each other. In what capacity are you questioning me?"
Qiao Ziming's handsome face flushed red with anger, and it took him a long time to find a reason.
“No matter what, Su Muxi used to be a member of our Anyang Marquis’s mansion. Although we are now divorced, if she does something shameless, people will still talk about our Anyang Marquis’s mansion! Shouldn’t I question her spending the night with a man?”
Xie Xuan's smile vanished, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and a cold laugh escaped his lips. "Ha! Shameless? The young master really wants to throw all sorts of mud at Miss Su! Truly the words of an ungrateful person!"
"As for the reputation of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, it's probably already infamous. I'm more worried that Miss Su will be gossiped about because of your mansion!"
Just as Qiao Ziming was about to speak angrily, Su Muxi said coldly, "Your Highness, rest assured, even if I am despised by everyone, I will never implicate the Marquis of Anyang's mansion! However, Your Highness's visit today is rather inexplicable. When did I entangle you? Please explain yourself!"
Qiao Ziming's eyes darted around for a moment, but then his expression hardened again.
"Although you didn't openly harass me, why did you stop Xi'er's carriage in the street yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi found Qiao Ziming quite ridiculous. "Why did I stop Qiao Zixi's carriage? Didn't she tell you?"
Thinking of the injured Ah Zhu, Su Muxi's eyes reddened.
"The daughter of the Marquis of Anyang, without any explanation, ordered her servants to break the limbs of an orphan girl in the street and then dump her at the entrance of our Shanci Hall. You ask me why I stopped her carriage? I'd like to ask her what she really wanted!"
"I, Su Muxi, have never done anything to wrong your Anyang Marquis's family. I even took the initiative to help you and Princess Chang Le get a divorce. But how have you treated me?"
"Not only did they verbally abuse me, slander and frame me, but they even tried to commit arson and murder, and now they are implicating innocent people!"
"Qiao Ziming, tell me, what did I do wrong to deserve this treatment from you all!"
Qiao Ziming opened his mouth, then murmured, "I didn't know any of this..."
But Xie Xuan sneered, "Hmph! The young master can come to the Su residence early in the morning to demand an explanation, but he doesn't have time to find out what his mother and sister have done?"
"These people are really greedy. When someone is alive, they complain about their low status and ugly appearance, but once they're gone, they start eyeing their dowry and money, hoping that the person will be obedient and continue to be their slave."
"Hey! Young Master, don't take it personally, I didn't name names."
Qiao Ziming was so mocked by Xie Xuan that he couldn't lift his head and dared not look at Su Muxi's face.
If everything Su Muxi did was not a strategic retreat, then everything Su Muxi said was true.
Su Muxi never did anything to wrong them; on the contrary, they did many things to wrong Su Muxi…
Qiao Ziming gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, his fingers, with their distinct knuckles, turning pale from the force.
