“Su Muxue is no match for her, and she is even less worthy of Su Muchen. If I were to take Su Muchen for myself, I would be burdened with the accusations of causing my husband's death and stealing my sister-in-law's husband. I would not do anything foolish. I would only stay away from Su Muchen, the further away the better.”

After Su Muya finished speaking, she closed her eyes. She had said these words countless times.

Cuiping said softly, "Don't worry, Miss, I will do as you say."

Su Muya slowly opened her eyes, her gaze firm, and said, word by word, "I want to get married openly and honestly. I want to marry not only a good man, but also someone who loves me, so that they will envy and hate me."

"Miss, be careful, it's hot!" Cui Mei warned.

Cuizhu brought the hot tea to Su Muya, "Miss, drink it while it's hot."

Su Muya held the steaming hot tea and slowly savored it. "It's so fragrant. You should try some too. This is tea I made myself. It will make you feel great and have a good appetite."

"Mmm, it's really fragrant and sweet. I've never smelled such sweet tea leaves before."

Su Muya smiled and said, "I got it by chance. My father likes to drink tea, so I studied tea ceremony and got some Pu'er and Maojian tea. Both of these teas are very delicious, so I brought some for you today."

Cui Mei and Cui Zhu were overjoyed. Su Muchen usually treated them maids well, but unfortunately, they were all lowly maids, and Su Muchen never gave them any tea leaves.

Three days later, Su Muya moved back to her own courtyard. She reverted to her usual arrogant and conceited self, always holding her head high and looking radiant. Su Muchen watched her behavior and secretly mocked her for being foolish.

Three days later, Su Muya set off for the capital.

Su Muchen took her to the inn by carriage to register.

Su Muya lifted the curtain and looked outside. "Brother, you've escorted me to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so you don't need to escort me anymore. You can go back now."

Su Muchen said, "Since I promised my father I would escort you to the capital, I cannot break my promise."

Su Muya pouted; she didn't need Su Muchen's escort.

Su Muya arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion by carriage. After getting off the carriage, she heard Granny Zhou say, "Fifth Miss, please come in."

"Thank you, Granny Zhou." Su Muya stepped into the Duke's mansion.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is a magnificent and spectacular building, with pavilions, towers, rockeries, and fountains everywhere, creating a pleasant landscape.

Su Muya walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and turned to walk into the alley behind her. The alley was dark and silent, so quiet it was suffocating and frightening.

Su Muya clenched her fists, bit her lip, and walked step by step into the alley. The alley was deep and pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Suddenly, a faint groan came from inside the wall.

"Who?"

There was no response. The groans grew more urgent, mixed with painful moans, as if something inside was hitting the wall.

Su Muya was terrified, her trembling fingers reaching for the soft sword at her waist.

As soon as she drew her soft sword, two burly men rushed over from behind, grabbed her shoulders, and covered her mouth and nose.

Su Muya struggled desperately, but her arms and legs were bound. Terrified, Su Muya wondered, "Where am I? Is someone trying to harm me? Who am I? Why am I here? What kind of place is this?" She didn't want to stay here; she wanted to escape, but her limbs were bound by ropes, rendering her immobile and unable to break free.

She tried to breathe through her mouth, hoping someone would pass by and help untie the ropes.

Su Muya closed her eyes in despair. She knew that this time, her chances of survival were slim.

"Help..." Su Muya's voice stopped abruptly as she collapsed to the ground.

Su Muchen rode up at breakneck speed. He saw Su Muya lying unconscious on the ground in the distance, her cheeks flushed and her forehead beaded with sweat. He immediately dismounted, picked up Su Muya, and shouted, "Quickly, call a doctor!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone replied in unison.

Su Muchen escorted Su Muya back to her room and instructed the servants to take good care of her. After he left, he ordered the servants to prepare bathwater and help Su Muya with her grooming, washing, and changing clothes.

Su Muya was sore all over and couldn't stand it. She took a nap and finally woke up. Then she heard the maids chattering about something.

Su Muya rubbed her temples and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Cuiyun said, "Miss, you had a fever last night. Fortunately, the young master found out early and brought you back in time."

Su Muya frowned. She had a fever. She had actually developed a fever. She had been perfectly healthy since she transmigrated. What had happened last night that made her fall ill?

Cuiyun continued, "Miss, let us help you with your washing and grooming."

Su Muya lay on the bed, and Cuiyun helped her with her washing and grooming.

After washing up and getting dressed, Su Muya took Cuilan out for a stroll. Today, Su Muya dressed up in a particularly flamboyant way, wearing a rose-pink satin dress with scattered flowers, her black hair flowing freely, ruby ​​pearl earrings, a red-gold necklace, and a jade hairpin in her hair, making her look bright and dazzling.

Cuilan couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss looks absolutely stunning today!"

Su Muya said coquettishly, "You naughty girl, it's fine to praise me, but why are you praising me for being pretty too?"

Although Su Muya has a more alluring appearance, she has an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, and cherry lips. If she is an alluring beauty, then Su Muwan is a gentle beauty. Both of them possess gentle features, but each has their own strengths.

“I’m telling the truth. You are already very beautiful, Miss, even more beautiful than other young ladies.”

Su Muya felt relieved and said, "You do have some good taste. Come on, let's go buy some jewelry."

"Miss, haven't you already bought several new outfits?"

Su Muya rolled her eyes at her and retorted, "What do you know? Girls should be raised in luxury. No matter how expensive the clothes are, they won't suit my style or be glamorous enough. Besides, those clothes are too plain."

Cuiyun nodded in agreement: "Miss is right."

After selecting jewelry at the jewelry shop, the two went to the fabric store to buy materials. After buying the materials, they strolled around the streets for half a day, and it wasn't until noon that Su Muya returned to the Su residence.

After returning, Su Muya went straight to Songyuan.

Su Muwan and Li Shi were both in Songyuan, chatting as mother and daughter.

"Mother, how come that bitch Su Muya is still alive? I thought she was definitely going to die this time, but I didn't expect her to be so lucky. She's still alive after all this. It's infuriating!" Su Muwan slammed her fist on the table in anger.

Madam Li said, "Calm down first. Your temper will cause trouble sooner or later. You can't keep your temper in anything you do. If you were more composed, you wouldn't have made such a mess and disgraced our Marquis's mansion."
