As soon as Mu Jin turned around, she heard a scream from behind. Before she could look back, Su Yi grabbed her.

"Hey, where are you going? Why don't you tell me before leaving?"

Mu Jin turned his head and tried to break free from Su Yi's hand, but found that the woman who was hugging Su Yi a second ago had fallen to the ground and was looking at Su Yi with a pair of astonished eyes.

But when the woman saw Su Yi holding Mu Jin's hand, she suddenly forgot how Su Yi had just pushed her to the ground rudely. Instead, she stood up and pointed at Mu Jin and asked Su Yi.

"Brother Yi, who is she?"

Su Yi ignored her and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Kun, how can you manage this family? You let anyone in. If you do that again, you don't have to be the housekeeper anymore. Go home and enjoy your retirement."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he immediately walked up to the woman and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Princess Yuerou, please go outside with this old servant."

The woman was so angry that she choked and said, "I won't leave. Tell me who this woman is, why she appeared in the Princess's mansion, and why Brother Yi was holding this woman's hand."

Su Yi felt that the woman in front of him was very noisy. He put his arm around Mu Jin's shoulders and looked at the woman with disdain.

"Originally, there is no need for me to explain this to you, but since you want to know so much, I will tell you."

Su Yi pointed at Mu Jin and the woman and said, "Her name is Mu Jin, she is my woman, you should be more polite when you see her in the future."

"Also, I have warned you long ago to stay away from me. This time, for the sake of Princess Wenhui, I will not bother with you. If you make a move on me again and let my woman misunderstand me, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Mu Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Su Yi calling her "my woman". She pushed away Su Yi's hand on her shoulder and looked at Su Yi.

Although he did not scold Su Yi in front of the woman, his eyes were full of warnings.

When the woman heard this, she immediately started crying and tried to grab Hua Mujin's face.

"Brother Yi is mine, no one can take him away from me. You vixen, get out of Bianliang for me."

But before she could get close to Mu Jin, Su Yi grabbed her hand and threw her out of the room.

"Uncle Kun!"

Su Yi looked at the old butler with a cold expression again.

The old housekeeper immediately ordered someone to come up and drag away the woman named Princess Yue Rou, but the woman kept cursing as she was dragged away.

"You bunch of slave dogs, let me go quickly. Brother Yi is mine. I want to grab the face of that vixen Hua."

"Brother Yi, you can't treat Yue'er like that!"

"You bunch of dogs and slaves, if you don't let me go, I will kill you."

The woman's shouting and cursing gradually faded away until she could no longer be heard. Only then did Su Yi continue to hold Mu Jin's hand and said.

"I say, woman, your man was hugged by another woman, and you just ignored it and walked away?"

Mu Jin waved his hand away and said, "If you don't leave, do you think I'll stay and disturb your love?"

Su Yi was stunned, then smiled: "Why are you still jealous?"

Mu Jin sneered and looked at Su Yi. Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be saying, "If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here."

Su Yi smiled and pulled Mu Jin back to the tea table.

"Ah Jin, this love affair is for the wrong person. How can I be love-struck with Lin Yuerou?"

Mu Jin drank a cup of tea and raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the woman was called Lin Yuerou.

"Lin Yuerou is the granddaughter of my grandfather's elder sister, Princess Wenhui, and Princess Wenhui has always wanted my grandfather to issue an imperial decree to bestow the noble title of Lin Yuerou upon me."

Mu Jin asked: "Why would I want to marry you, a prince of Dongyue?"

Su Yi said: "The royal family of Southern Shu is rare, and my grandfather only has one child, my mother."

Mu Jin was stunned. She had always known that the Emperor of Southern Shu had only one daughter with his first wife, but she didn't expect that the Emperor of Southern Shu really only had one daughter.

"My grandfather was an extremely devoted man. He once made a solemn vow to my grandmother, promising to love only her for the rest of his life. He would never love any other woman in his life."

"However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. When my grandmother gave birth to my mother, she unfortunately suffered a dystocia and eventually passed away from my grandfather."

"This sudden blow plunged my grandfather into great grief, but as the king of a country, he must be strong and continue to shoulder the responsibility of governing the country."

"In order to stabilize the court and balance the forces of all parties, my grandfather had to marry several women from aristocratic families into the palace."

"Despite this, he could never forget my grandmother. Therefore, even though these women entered the palace, my grandfather never had any children with them."

Mu Jin put down his teacup and sneered, "An emperor without a successor. I think the seemingly prosperous Southern Shu Kingdom is not as stable as it seems."

When Su Yi heard Mu Jin say this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"Indeed, there have been undercurrents among the noble families in Southern Shu recently, so my grandfather urgently summoned me back to Southern Shu this time."

Mu Jin was stunned when he heard this: "Your grandfather intends to let you take his place?"

Su Yi reached out and pinched Mu Jin's face: "My woman is smart."

Mu Jin rolled his eyes at Su Yi and brushed his hand away.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep touching me."

Su Yi chuckled and continued talking to Mu Jin.

"I have no interest in the throne. That position places too many restrictions on my life. But as the years go by, my grandfather gets older. Sometimes I find it difficult for him to support the entire Southern Shu Kingdom alone."

"So in the past few years, I have mostly stayed in Nanshu to help my grandfather handle government affairs. These aristocratic families saw something wrong, so some of them kept a close watch on me, while others tried to win me over."

Mu Jin sneered: "Lin Yueru hugged you so tightly, is the person behind her trying to win you over?"

Su Yi sneered, "That's not the case. She is just an ordinary chess piece in their family. She has two older brothers. That old witch Wen Hui has always wanted to support her grandson to take the throne."

"The injury you suffered when we first met was a masterpiece of their family."

Mu Jin was a little surprised. He didn't know that his first meeting with Su Yi was thanks to Lin Yueru's family.

"But if the Lin family hadn't wanted to kill me then, I wouldn't have met you. Just for this, if they behave themselves in the future, I can forgive them and spare their lives."

Mu Jin sneered: "Do you think it's possible?"

"Absolutely impossible, so they can only die!" Su Yi's face showed coldness.

"Okay, you have a good rest. I'll go to the palace to see Grandpa first. If you have anything, go to Uncle Kun. He is a trustworthy person."

After Su Yi finished his instructions, he left the princess's mansion and walked towards the imperial palace.
