The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

The two were having a great time fighting.

Suddenly, footsteps approached. Su Muya inwardly cried out in alarm.

"stop!"

A deep, powerful voice rang out, startling the emperor.

"Father, I am late in coming to your rescue. I beg your forgiveness!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor stopped and turned around to see the emperor.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

The Emperor waved his hand: "You may return to the palace first, and come see me later!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"

"etc!"

The Emperor called out to the Crown Prince again, "I heard you just bestowed the title of Princess?"

The crown prince's expression changed. "Yes, Father!"

The Emperor nodded: "Hmm! Then you should get married. Look, this Su Muya is quite nice, very pretty, much better than those ordinary women. I'll bestow her upon you!"

"Father, this..."

The Emperor snorted coldly: "What, do you intend to defy the imperial will?"

"No, Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"If you dare not, then get out of my sight!"

The crown prince looked at Su Muya helplessly, then turned and left.

Su Muya breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to save her life for the time being! However, it was truly unbelievable that the Emperor would actually bestow her upon the Crown Prince!

A surge of anger suddenly welled up inside her. This emperor was truly too domineering! He actually wanted to marry her off to the crown prince?

No! I absolutely cannot let him succeed! Su Muya gritted her teeth secretly!

A cold and aloof face appeared in her mind—no, it should be that devilishly charming face.

No matter what, she cannot marry the Crown Prince! She must find a way to get the antidote from the Emperor!

Her eyes gleamed, as if she were plotting some wicked scheme.

"Miss Su, why aren't you thanking this person!"

Seeing that Su Muya did not react, the Emperor could not help but urge her on.

"This humble woman obeys!"

Su Muya immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Rise!"

The emperor laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Muya stood up, and as she looked up, she met the Emperor's smiling eyes.

"Miss Su's cheeks are flushed; would you do me the honor of having lunch with me?"

Seeing Su Muya's shy expression, the Emperor couldn't help but tease her.

"Your Majesty, I am not hungry!"

Su Muya quickly declined, "I was just a little thirsty, so I only had a cup of tea. I haven't eaten yet. If Your Majesty would like something to eat, please have the eunuchs prepare some food. There's no need to trouble Your Majesty!"

The emperor laughed loudly.

"Miss Su's courage is truly remarkable!"

"Your Majesty flatters me!"

"Alright, since you're not hungry, I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare some snacks!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he instructed the eunuch beside him to give the order.

Su Muya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat at the table, silently eating the snacks, looking absent-minded, constantly glancing towards the door, hoping that Ye Junran would appear soon.

Unfortunately, the Emperor was not a fool. Although Su Muya appeared delicate, the resolute look in her eyes could not deceive anyone. He saw the worry in her heart.

"Miss Su, may I ask who you are looking for?"

Su Muya raised her eyes and met the Emperor's probing gaze.

"I am not looking for anyone. I am simply afraid of disturbing His Majesty's rest, so I wish to leave as soon as possible!"

Didn't you say you were hungry?

"This humble woman is not hungry!"

"If you're not hungry, then have a meal with me!"

"No need, Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal!"

Seeing that Su Muya refused to compromise, the Emperor sighed, "Alright, if you're not hungry, I won't force you. I'll go back to my work now!"

After saying this, the emperor turned around and left.

Watching the Emperor's departing figure, Su Muya breathed a sigh of relief. This Emperor was too difficult to deal with! However, he was indeed quite handsome and dashing, exuding an aura of royalty.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have already fallen at his feet, serving him faithfully and at his beck and call. However, Su Muya remained completely unmoved by his advances, which left the Emperor somewhat frustrated.

"Hmph, Su Muya, don't be so arrogant. Later, this Crown Prince will make you wish you were dead!"

Before leaving, the emperor glared at her fiercely.

Su Muya pretended not to hear and continued eating.

She thought to herself, "I can't be bothered with you. Go find someone else, but I'm not going to marry your son. You're not satisfied with me? Fine, I'll make you satisfied!"

A short while later, a young man came up carrying a tray.

Su Muya took a look and saw that it was a bowl of osmanthus porridge and a dish of candied fruit.

She quickly reached for the bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth, eating it with relish. Her appetite improved considerably, and she ate several pieces of candied fruit.

"tasty!"

She praised it highly.

"Eat as much as you like! This was specially prepared for you by the imperial kitchen."

The older father-in-law said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, sir!"

Su Muya smiled sweetly at her young father-in-law.

The young father-in-law also laughed.

"By the way, your name is Su Muya, right? Which family's daughter are you from?"

The young father-in-law asked.

"This woman is a country bumpkin, a rustic village girl!"

Su Muya lowered her head and answered casually.

"Oh! Is that so? Then how about I call you Ya-mei from now on?"

Su Muya was taken aback, not expecting a eunuch to call her "Sister Ya." However, what he said wasn't untrue; she was indeed an orphan with no parents, raised by a wet nurse from a young age. After the wet nurse passed away, she grew up alone in the village, struggling and making her way up to where she was now.

She has a rural household registration, so everyone calls her Sister Ya, and everyone respects her very much!

Is this a good idea?

"What's wrong with it!"

Su Muya smiled and said, "But I really can't accept the title 'Sister Ya.' Why don't you just call me Muya?"

The young father-in-law didn't stand on ceremony: "Alright then, Muya, from now on you're my sister, Li Defu's sister!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Muya and said, "Your face still has some dirt on it. How about I wipe it clean for you?"

He took a handkerchief out of his pouch and handed it to Su Muya.

Su Muya took it, wiped her face, and felt much better.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Su Muya waved to him.

Li Defu was taken aback, then gave a gentle smile.

After dinner, Su Muya was sent back to the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw a familiar figure standing on the eaves.

She was so startled that she almost jumped up.

This person has come again!

She didn't want to run into this person, so she quickened her pace, intending to go around him.

However, as if the person knew she was leaving, he actually blocked her way.

Su Muya stopped and looked up.
