My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Yesterday, she rode back to the mansion first. Xiao Yunjin came late and wanted to stay in her room. She sneezed at him and said, "I caught a cold in the clear water pool yesterday. I can't stand the smell of this strange fragrance. My Lord, you should go to the study!"

At that time, Xiao Yunjin's expression was particularly ugly, and he asked, "Did you see it?"

She raised her sleeves to cover her face, "Prince, please don't come over here. This incense is giving me a headache. Zhijuan, open the window."

Xiao Yunjin turned away and left, and her excuse came true as she developed a high fever in the middle of the night.

Su Muxi leaned on the chaise longue, watching the drizzle outside.

An autumn rain brought a chill. She had only been reborn for a few days when she felt a little bit overwhelmed. Her good body was ruined like this. She wanted to change. She wanted to take good care of her body and watch these disgusting people who made trouble suffer the consequences while staying healthy.

"Madam, the Marquis has sent a message asking you to come to the front hall."

Seeing the clothes that Zhijuan took, she remembered the feeling of being restrained by clothes when she jumped into the water yesterday. She didn't want to pretend to be a lady from a noble family. "Change to something I used to wear."

She was wearing a red long gown with tight sleeves, which looked like riding clothes, but with a few more details, making her look more playful and dashing. She was tall and slender, with her black hair tied on top of her head and pinned with a gold hairpin. Her eyebrows and eyes were already bold, and they were made up by cigarettes, making her eyes even more captivating, and even she, a patient, seemed to look more energetic.

Su Muxi tapped the stunned cigarette and said, "Hurry up and lead the way. The Marquis must be waiting anxiously."

"Oh, okay," Zhiyan came back to his senses, holding an umbrella and leading the way, feeling very proud in his heart. The princess was really beautiful. This dress was even more colorful than the formal makeup for women.

When they arrived at the front hall, Zhiyan was stopped outside the door and Su Muxi was led in. There were only the two of them in the hall, father and son.

Su Muxi bowed to the Marquis of Yong'an, "My Lord, what is the matter with calling me here?"

Xiao Yunjin sat in his seat without moving, just frowned and looked at her with a somewhat cold expression. This behavior became more and more like Xiao Yunjin. She pretended not to see it and got up and sat on the other side.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yong'an Hou said, "In the court today, the old tutor resigned. Princess, what do you think of this?"

Su Muxi looked down at the forbidden steps on her waist and said, "I have no opinion."

Yong'an Hou choked and said, "The time for my father-in-law to go to war has been set. It will be in three days."

"I know," Su Muxi answered calmly, but she was very happy in her heart.

Yong'an Hou looked at the taciturn Xiao Yunjin, and then at the obedient Su Muxi with her eyes downcast. He felt tired. Each of them gave him a problem. "I asked you to come here today to pass on the emperor's message that you will go to court tomorrow."

Su Muxi was slightly stunned when she heard this. This was beyond her expectations. "My Lord, in the court today, besides the resignation of the Grand Tutor, was there anything else happening?"

"Ma'am, the address is wrong. You should call me father."

Xiao Yunjin suddenly spoke, and Su Muxi looked up. He lowered his eyes, looking calm and composed, as if he had not said what he had just said.

Su Muxi sneered in her heart, followed suit, and repeated her words again.

"The border camp outside the city is short of a garrison officer, and the Sixth Prince recommended you."

So that's how it is. She made the Second Prince suffer a loss, so the Sixth Prince came to win her over.

One of them is a young and orthodox descendant, one is scheming and resourceful, and the other is an actor who pretends to be a pig but is actually a tiger.

With a plan in mind, Su Muxi stood up and said, "I understand all this. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

You won't express your opinion if I let you be an official? Yong'an Hou asked, "Will the princess take this position?"

"It's not up to me to decide whether to accept or not. It's up to the Emperor to decide."

Marquis Yong'an waved his hands, his rage growing higher and higher. He was just like that old villain, the Duke of Zhenguo, whose words were so irritating that they could choke people. He glanced at his "son" who was still sitting upright. It was really true that the eunuchs were anxious even though the emperor was not.

"Then I won't disturb my father-in-law from talking to the prince about business."

Su Muxi walked out, and a voice floated over from behind, "It's raining, I'll take my wife home."

The hand at the side of her was grabbed. Su Muxi pulled it but couldn't pull it free. She looked up and met a pair of extremely dark eyes, so dark that one could be trapped in them, like an abyss.

All his gazes, frowns, affection, love and anger were disguises.

"Sir, this is in the outer courtyard."

"What are you afraid of? I don't care who dares to look at me."

In a word, all the maids and servants who were still busy everywhere dispersed.

I was too lazy to argue with him, and we kept silent all the way until we reached Fangfei Courtyard, when he let go of my hand. "Princess Jin and I just happened to meet yesterday."

"Sir, I've told you that I won't ask who you meet in private, but don't implicate innocent people. You don't care about the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, but I can't let the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion be implicated. I hope that next time you meet in private, you can find a corner where no one is around."

"I said, I didn't have anything to do with her? Never."

People were forced to the table, with no way out, and the person in front of him seemed to no longer be pretending, and seemed to be extremely angry.

Su Muxi avoided the burning gaze and said, "Okay, I believe in you, Prince."

"Say it again."

The heavy breathing forced her to look directly. Her appearance was clearly visible in the dark eyes. She heard herself say, "I believe in the prince."

The man left, but she didn't react for a long time, and then there was endless ridicule. It was an indisputable fact that she was afraid of him.

But she also hated herself, hated her cowardice, hated her hesitation just now.

It started raining again at night, the sound of the raindrops hitting the window frames. She had the dream of her past life again, and the groggy feeling made her feel unable to breathe.

I woke up in the morning feeling exhausted. I had to go to court, and the cigarettes covered my haggard eyes.

The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was not too far from the Imperial Palace. She leaned back in the carriage, closed her eyes, and waited for the Yong'an Marquis to come out so they could set off together.

The car curtain was lifted and cold wind blew in. She looked up and saw a man getting into the car. It was Xiao Yunxiu.

"Prince, I remember that you don't have an official position yet."

"Well," he sat opposite, "I'll take you there."

She knew he was stubborn and didn't want to waste time arguing with him, so she closed her eyes and continued to doze off.

The carriage was swaying and she actually fell asleep. When she woke up, she found herself leaning in Xiao Yunjin's arms. He had a smile on his lips and looked calm and composed again.

"Wake up, we have arrived at the palace."

"Excuse me, my Lord."

Su Muxi stood up and tried to get out of the car, but he grabbed her waist and said, "Madam, your hairpin is crooked."
