Su Muxi felt inexplicably embarrassed by the praise.
She's never been stupid; she just doesn't want to think too badly of people or cause herself too much trouble.
But now that her marriage is at stake and her family is also affected, she can no longer sit idly by.
Although Ye Zeyu initiated the marriage arranged by the Emperor, for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to hate him at all.
Perhaps it was because of Ye Zeyu's praise of her, or perhaps it was because Ye Zeyu was mindful of her dignity.
In short, she currently thinks Ye Zeyu is a decent person and someone she can work with.
"I'll have someone investigate Fan Jun right away. But don't worry, Miss Su, whether or not we find any clues, after we get married, I won't restrict you. You can come and go from the Prince's mansion freely without any restrictions."
As for the imperial decree bestowing the marriage, since the Emperor has already issued the decree, it's best not to change it lightly. If there's anything you want, you can bring it up, and I will try my best to fulfill it."
Hearing Ye Zeyu's sudden words, Su Muxi was stunned.
"No, Your Highness, what do you mean? Are you planning to go back on your word?!"
"Going back on your word? How have I gone back on my word?"
Su Muxi opened her mouth, a surge of anger rising within her.
His voice was no longer gentle, but became impatient.
"I didn't help you find the letter at the Marquis of Anyang's residence, but I did provide you with other clues. Didn't you say before that if I was willing to help, you could grant me whatever I wanted, whether it was to marry you and become your princess or to find another suitable partner?"
I want to annul this marriage now and gain my freedom, instead of being a princess in name only, freely entering and leaving your palace!
Ye Ziyu was wearing a mask, so his expression was not visible. He remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
Su Muxi thought Ye Zeyu might be angry, and was about to say something when she heard Ye Zeyu suddenly say, "I have thought carefully about the concerns you mentioned last time, and they are not really concerns."
"First of all, as I said before, you are the only woman I have, and I will never have three wives or four concubines. If I want to marry someone else in the future, you can do whatever you want with me. Of course, I will not give you a letter of divorce or a divorce agreement, I will not let you suffer from gossip, and I will not let you suffer any grievances."
"Secondly, you won't need to serve your parents-in-law and sisters-in-law after you marry me. You only need to be filial to the Empress Dowager. You also don't need to get along well with your sisters-in-law. On the contrary, I hope you stay as far away from them as possible."
"As for what you mean by mutual understanding, I can't guarantee that, but I, Ye Zeyu, am capable of sharing weal and woe."
"Finally... regarding the fact that it's all in name only, if you wish, I am willing to accept it."
Su Muxi felt a buzzing in her head, her cheeks burning, and her heart pounding.
Does Ye Ziyu even realize what he's saying?!
She quickly looked away, and said somewhat flusteredly, "I'm sleepy, I'm going home first!"
After saying that, he quickly stood up, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
It must be that the effects of the drug Ye Zeyu took last night haven't completely worn off yet, which is why he said those nonsensical things just now!
In that case, she should go back first and wait until Ye Zeyu's effects have completely worn off before discussing the annulment of the engagement.
Xiao Ce stood outside the door, repeatedly thinking about the words his master and Su Muxi had just spoken. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his master's attitude towards Su Muxi was not quite right.
The master, who usually wouldn't say a word to any woman, treated Su Muxi so specially.
Could it be that the master likes Su Muxi?
But... how is that possible!
Su Muxi is so ugly and has no outstanding talents, except for her good medical skills. But that shouldn't be enough to make someone as excellent as the master fall in love with her!
After nodding to himself, he was about to continue thinking when he heard Su Muxi's voice coming from inside the room.
Did he hear that right?
Su Muxi actually wants to break off the engagement?!
Women who want to marry his master could line up from the capital to the northern frontier, yet Su Muxi actually wants to annul the engagement?!
It seems Su Muxi is either mentally ill or has poor eyesight!
He instinctively leaned closer to the door, wanting to hear what was going on.
Before they could understand what was going on, Su Muxi opened the door from the inside.
Xiao Ce almost fell to the ground, but fortunately his lower body was well-trained and he managed to regain his balance in time.
But the next moment, he was so shocked by what he saw that he almost lost his soul.
What did he see?!
To my surprise, I saw my master take the woman's wrist!
"Bang!"
Before Xiao Ce could recover from his shock, Ye Zeyu slammed the door shut.
Su Muxi, who was captured by Ye Zeyu, was also shocked by Ye Zeyu's sudden action.
Ye Ziyu not only grabbed her wrist, but also pulled her into his arms…
"Su Muxi, there is no city in this world that I, Ye Zeyu, cannot conquer! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about stepping out of this door!"
When I was in the Xuanwu Army, I often heard married men say that women are troublesome and always make men guess.
He hadn't taken these things seriously before, thinking that as long as he didn't try to guess and let the other person be, they would eventually have no choice but to reveal their true thoughts.
But ever since last night, he's been like a man possessed, constantly trying to guess what Su Muxi is thinking.
He wanted to know why Su Muxi had refused last night.
He wanted to know exactly what Su Muxi was complaining about about him.
Now he desperately wanted to know why Su Muxi was unwilling to marry him.
