Xiao Chengjue had never apologized to women ever since he was born.

Yet, he had to apologize to the woman. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

He raised his head and said stubbornly, "I won't!"

"Then don't see me again."

Xiao Chengyi's voice did not sound like he was joking.

"Third brother!"

Xiao Chengjue was so angry that his face turned green, but he could do nothing.

Mu Qianyu looked at the two brothers quietly, still feeling baffled.

This person had imprisoned her for no good reason. She just needed to remember this enmity and not need for him to apologize.

There are some things that can't be solved by apologizing.

"Return to the estate."

Xiao Chengyi had already ordered people to prepare a carriage.

He wanted to reach out to help Mu Qianyu onto the carriage.

Mu Qianyu had already climbed up by herself and threw the robe to him. Her expression was cold: "Thank you, Your Highness."

She didn't think she needed the warmth.

Xiao Chengyi took the robe and frowned at her, then turned to look at his brother, his eyes stern.

Xiao Chengjue was not afraid of anything.

His momentum had already weakened a moment ago. Now that he saw his brother's fierce gaze, he felt extremely vexed.

Third brother wouldn't just ignore me for a woman, right?

Thus, just as Mu Qianyu got on the carriage, Xiao Chengjue couldn't help but walk over. He braced himself and said perfunctorily: "I'm sorry."

There were only these four words.

An apology is an apology.

Mu Qianyu turned and looked at him disdainfully, then went into the carriage.

"Third brother, what does she mean by this?"

The King Yi who was rejected immediately started to complain.

What did that look just now mean? Did he grow up to be disliked by women?

"Just what you saw."

Xiao Chengyi did not get on the carriage. Instead, he took the reins in Luo Jin's hands and rode away.

By the time he returned to the manor, it was already quite late.

Seeing that his master had returned, Lin Ze anxiously ordered some people to pass down the lunches.

"Go change your clothes and take care of your wounds. I'll come back later for a meal."

Xiao Chengyi ordered Yue Zhu and Yue Ying to help him wash, the Gold Sore Medicine was also prepared.

Just by hearing the word "eat", Mu Qianyu raised her head, and frowned: "Me and you?"

That fellow, Xiao Chen, had already run away halfway through. It seemed that he had lost face and was too embarrassed to follow him again.

It was just that Mu Qianyu did not know what was going on with Xiao Chengyi, to actually want to eat with her.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi nodded slightly.

However, Mu Qianyu smiled, carrying a sense of ridicule.

And then he continued, "If it's because of what happened last night, you don't have to do it this way. Because of me, you were poisoned, and I only did what I had to do. From the beginning till the end, I didn't owe anyone anything."

If this guy didn't imprison her in the palace, then it wouldn't matter at all.

Xiao Chengyi looked at her strangely and asked: "Why are you so wary of people?"

It was so strong that he couldn't get involved even a little bit.

Mu Qianyu kept quiet, she did not want to explain.

This was the way of the world.

After experiencing so much, she understood that she had to rely on herself.

No one needs to believe, no one needs to rely on.

"Miss, please slow down. Don't touch the wound."

Mu Qianyu did not need anyone to attend to him, she would do the personal affairs of others.

He had just applied medicine to the wound, so he didn't pay any attention to the wound as he put on his clothes.

Yue Zhu was shocked at the sight, and quickly warned her.

Mu Qianyu lifted her head and sized her up seriously.

The small and exquisite woman had a docile and obedient personality.

It was as if this was the first time she seriously sized up this girl.

He had implicated this girl several times, and had even knocked her out last time.

Yet, this girl didn't complain at all.

"You don't hate me?"

In the end, he couldn't help but ask.

After Yue Zhu heard this, she was slightly startled, immediately lowering her head, and said: "This servant does not dare."

Seeing her terrified look, Mu Qianyu couldn't help but shake his head.

The difference between ancient and modern times was simply too great.

Ancient servile ideas were almost ingrained in one's bones, and it was hard to change them.

"Lady Mu, the Prince is treating you to a meal."

Luo Jin's voice came from outside the door.

Mu Qianyu had not agreed just now, but she did not expect Xiao Chengyi to actually send Luo Jin over to invite her again.

"Miss, Prince has good intentions. Miss should go."

Yue Ying tried to persuade her.

Mu Qianyu frowned, and unhappily swept his gaze across her.

Did she need someone else to manage her affairs?

Being looked at by her sharp eyes, Yue Ying was so scared that she immediately shut her mouth, lowering her head and not daring to speak anymore.

Luo Jin stood at the door and did not leave.

Mu Qianyu pondered for a moment and finally stood up, planning to see Xiao Chengyi.

Didn't she say that neither of them owed the other? What was the matter with this man?

Aren't you always so high up in the air?

"Lady Mu, what happened yesterday was Luo Yu's fault, I apologize on his behalf."

Seeing that she had come out, Luo Jin thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

It was a strange day. There were always people who apologized to her.

Mu Qianyu glanced at Luo Jin indifferently, "Didn't he already receive his punishment?"

He did not know what the rules of the Prince Li Palace were.

"Even though this is the case, he was indeed wrong, so he still has to admit his mistake."

Luo Jin seemed to be stubborn.

Mu Qianyu snorted lightly and did not say a word.

It was true that a mistake was a mistake. No matter how one acknowledged their mistake, no matter how much punishment they received, it would still be a mistake.

The words spoken were irrevocable, so was what he had done.

Xiao Chengyi lived in the Cool Garden, and was not very close to where Mu Qianyu lived.

Mu Qianyu's body was unwell, and she struggled to take a few breaths.

He could not help but frown, the Cold Poison in his body was always waiting to be released, if this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it.

"Not coming in?"

Until the cold voice from above, Mu Qianyu finally regained her senses.

Raising his head to look, Xiao Chengyi was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, changing into a clean and simple robe.

This man was really obsessed with cleanliness.

Mu Qianyu did not speak and walked in with lowered eyes.

Just as he walked in, the fragrance of delicious food assaulted his nostrils.

In the end, he could not help but raise his head and saw that there was a whole table of dishes on the wide sandalwood round table.

It had a fresh and tender color, rich dishes, and unique fragrance. Even the utensils used to serve the dishes were extremely exquisite.

Although Mu Qianyu had been staying in the Duke Palaces these past few days, she ate very simply.

It was not that Xiao Chengyi was critical of her on purpose, but she was not in the mood to eat.

Every time, he would always make Yue Zhu do something simple.

Now that she had seen such an exquisite table full of dishes, Mu Qianyu finally understood that the luxurious life of a royal family was indeed not a rumor.

Sitting in front of the table, Mu Qianyu blinked her eyes, quietly looking at the dishes in front of him.

Fins, Golden Silk Roll, Eight Treasures Duck, Stewed Carp, Dry Fruit Candied …

There were all kinds of dishes, not a single one of which she didn't like.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Xiao Chengyi opened his mouth and spoke gently.

It seemed that his attitude towards her had changed a lot since yesterday.

Hearing that, Mu Qianyu did not hold back, and picked up the chopsticks to eat.
