In addition to Su Zimo's significant transformation, even those who had seen her before might not recognize her now.
A malicious gaze stared directly at Su Zimo.
"Who is this woman? She's so beautiful!"
"Yes! To be able to ride in a carriage with the Holy Lord, who could she be?"
Clearly, Su Zimo had changed so much that many people couldn't remember her, and they were in shock, finding it hard to associate her with Mu Yunxuan.
In the crowd, there were various murmurs of suspicion and envy.
A voice filled with jealousy sneered, "Who else could it be? It must be Su Zimo, who was publicly rejected by the Third Prince years ago."
Upon hearing this, the crowd turned to look and discovered that the speaker was a lady they didn't recognize.
But at this moment, nobody cared about who she was.
Their focus was solely on Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan.
"Su Zimo, how could it be her?" A hint of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the onlookers.
"Is it really Su Zimo? I saw her once before, she was timid and always kept her head down."
"It's her, no doubt about it. I didn't expect her to become so stunning after a few years."
Only Mu Yunxuan gently helped Su Zimo down from the carriage, treating her with utmost care as if she were a precious treasure in that moment.
Mu Yunxuan wore a clean and exquisite silk robe, with simple patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs. He wore a belt made of white gold and jade, which complemented the white jade hairpin on his head, accentuating his extraordinary temperament. Every move he made was captivating.
Wasn't it said that Mu Yunxuan was uninterested in women?
Wasn't it said that he disliked women?
Every woman had something in her heart that Mu Yunxuan disliked.
How could he be so gentle with Su Zimo?
Instantly, the hearts of the beautiful women shattered.
And Mu Yunxuan's tender expression melted their hearts even further.
As they admired the stunning Su Zimo, the woman who had just spoken seethed with jealousy.
"Jianren, today I will make sure you have a miserable time!"
The woman's low and resentful words were drowned out by the admiration of the crowd.
"Ah! Her luck is really something! She was publicly rejected by the Third Prince that day, yet she married into Yun City disguised as a dead person. Unexpectedly, she not only survived a great ordeal but also found good fortune."
Even more people openly expressed their envy, their tone filled with jealousy.
Mu Yunxuan coldly glanced at the woman who spoke, a single look that almost made her collapse to the ground. Fortunately, her maid by her side quickly supported her.
"Father, Mother," a soft and tender voice came, instantly attracting everyone's attention as they turned to look.
"Wow! Such adorable children."
"They are exactly the same!"
"So cute, so lovely!"
"Such delicate and exquisite little ones, I have never seen anything like it."
In the crowd, the cheering voices grew louder and louder.
Su Qi and Su Li approached Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan.
"Hug, Mommy! Those fairies were so scary!"
Su Qi, with an adorable face, reached out her hands towards Su Zimo.
Although it seemed like an innocent remark, it reminded the young ladies to be mindful of their words and actions. It was because their actions were too exaggerated that they frightened the delicate and exquisite children.
Still in a state of astonishment, they saw Mu Yunxuan lovingly pick up Su Qi, his expression filled with paternal affection and his movements graceful.
"Daddy will hold you!" Mu Yunxuan reached out his hand to embrace Su Qi.
"Daddy, it's not fun inside the palace. Look, there are peacocks and flowers everywhere."
Su Qi whispered softly in Mu Yunxuan's ear.
Mu Yunxuan smiled. "Oh! There are delicious things to eat in the palace!"
"Ah!" Su Qi's large and lively eyes sparkled.
"Then let's go in quickly! Don't keep the delicious food waiting."
In an instant, Su Qi's expression changed to one of excitement.
"Glutton," Su Zimo scolded Su Qi with a hint of annoyance.
Su Qi shrugged it off and continued to smile cheerfully.
Su Zimo had excellent hearing and could clearly hear the discussions around her.
At this moment, Nalan Wenhao, Situ Ruoyan, Su Qingjue, and Su Zinin also got off the carriage.
"Darling, you go in first. Your father and I need to register at the Ministry of Rites before we can enter the palace."
"Alright! You be careful."
"Darling, don't worry. Nothing will happen. It's you, darling...?"
Situ Ruoyan hesitated to speak, as she naturally overheard the unsavory comments.
"Darling, you don't need to pay them any mind. People have mouths, and one mouth can't rival a hundred mouths. Let them say what they want."
Su Zimo appeared indifferent. Indeed, she didn't care at all. The more you cared about certain things, the more harm they inflicted upon you.
"Darling, endure a little longer. Your father will never let you suffer again." Nalan Wenhao's face showed determination. Today, he would bring his children back to his side, where they rightfully belonged.
"Mmm!" Su Zimo nodded.
"Uncle, we'll see you later," Su Qi whispered.
Nalan Yi nodded and followed Nalan Wenhao as they left.
"Mo'er, let's go inside!" Su Zimo held Su Li's hand.
"Oh! What a coincidence, Mo'er," a sweet voice exclaimed, surprising everyone. However, most of them were just expecting to see a good show.
Jun Lin Tian wore a black robe that exuded an elegant aura as he walked, his smile filled with charm, and he looked at Su Zimo with great interest.
Between his eyebrows, there was a slight relaxation, as if a bird long trapped in a cage had finally escaped and spread its colorful wings.
Su Zimo looked at him coldly. "You're not...?"
"I forgot to tell Mo'er. His Majesty lifted my house arrest order last night, disappointing Mo'er once again," Jun Lin Tian kindly informed her of the answer he knew she wanted.
"Congratulations, Your Highness," Su Zimo said, looking at Mu Yunxuan.
The term "Your Highness" caused Mu Yunxuan to smile brilliantly, captivating everyone. It also ignited the burning jealousy within Jun Lin Tian. If the previous Su Zimo was playing hard to get, what was she now? Did she hate him or not?
Watching their figures, Jun Lin Tian's face was filled with a cold smile. Today would be interesting!
The people around involuntarily made way for them, whispering among themselves.
"Destiny works in mysterious ways. After a few years, Su Zimo not only looks completely different but also possesses the vast wealth of the Bright Moon Villa."
"Indeed! It's like the camel that starved to death is still bigger than a horse. Now she's the wife of the Holy Lord of Yun City. Look at the Holy Lord's expression, he's deeply in love with her. Compared to Su Ziyun, who only wanted to become one of the three royal concubines, Su Zimo's life is much better."
"Su Ziyun is no longer of any consequence! She stole her own sister's fiancé back then, and even after all these years, she still couldn't become one of the three royal concubines. Now that the Su family has fallen, I heard Su Ziyun even disfigured herself. The Third Prince doesn't even spare her a glance."
"Indeed! Can you imagine the Third Prince's regret when he sees Su Zimo like this?"
One bold lady looked at Jun Lin Tian's back and asked softly.
Little did she know that Jun Lin Tian heard her and abruptly turned to look at her.
With a single glance from Jun Lin Tian's sinister eyes, the group dispersed instantly, no longer daring to discuss the matter. Only the woman who had just recognized Su Zimo stood there with a furious expression.
Mu Yunxuan, along with Su Zimo and the others, entered the palace and were welcomed by Qin Gonggong.
Qin Gonggong respectfully approached Mu Yunxuan.
"I greet Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Mu Yunxuan asked coldly.
Qin Gonggong shivered from head to toe due to the icy tone.
"His Majesty wishes to meet you alone and has sent me to invite you."
Qin Gonggong replied, trembling.
"You tell His Majesty that I don't have time right now."
Mu Yunxuan decisively refused. This was Mo'er's first time entering the palace, and he would stay by her side.
"This..." Qin Gonggong was in a difficult position. Dealing with this family was always challenging, but he always ended up being the unlucky one.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has an important matter to discuss. May I trouble you to go?"
Qin Gonggong, with a bold move, spoke with a trace of sincere concern.
"Yun Xuan, you go. Aren't your brother and sister here? We'll be fine," Su Zimo knew that as soon as she entered the palace, Jun Lin Tian would find a way to deal with her. Of course, she would make sure to keep Mu Yunxuan occupied first.
"Oh! If the Majesty is worried about the Lady, I can send a eunuch to accompany her to the Celebration Palace," Qin Gonggong suggested, sensing Mu Yunxuan's concerns.
"Mo'er, you go first. I'll join you soon!" Mu Yunxuan said.
"Mmm!" Su Zimo nodded.
"Mo'er, do you have any concerns?" Su Qingjue asked.
"Brother, don't worry. It's just that it's my first time in the palace, and there are many protocols I don't understand."
Su Zimo casually replied, not wanting to worry her brother.
"Mo'er, the palace is different from the outside world. Remember not to act rashly. Moreover, the Ji family has repeatedly lost to you, and the Empress holds a grudge against the Bright Moon Villa. Be careful."
"Mo Mo, don't worry. We'll keep a low profile, and nothing will offend anyone!"
Su Zinian also believed that her brother's advice was correct, as they had to be cautious, especially with the Empress looking for opportunities to retaliate.
"Brother, sister, you don't have to worry. I'm not a pushover," Su Zimo said confidently.
