I just want to live a good life

Chapter 15 I Have a Cousin

Zhang Shun's words caught Mu Yunting's attention. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Nuan, as if waiting for her to say something.

Su Nuan answered frankly: "I moved those flowers to Duiyueju."

Mu Yunting had heard about this matter a long time ago. The guards who were monitoring Su Nuan had already told him that many flowers were moved in and out of Duiyue Residence every day.

Not only that, Mu Yunting also went to take a peek in person. He lay on the wall of Duiyueju according to the location pointed by Ye Yin, and really saw the shape of the flower bed clearly. It was indeed very unique.

Although the flowers in the flower bed were replaced by precious varieties in the flower garden by Su Nuan, Mu Yunting felt that Su Nuan's ingenuity was worthy of these flowers, so he didn't bother with her about moving the flowers.

Now that this matter has been brought up and Su Nuan has spoken out frankly herself, Mu Yunting naturally won't be angry.

"It's okay. If you like, just move there. There's just one thing. The Crown Prince's Mansion will hold a flower-viewing banquet next month. All the princes and nobles living in the imperial city will be invited to the banquet. I hope you can come and organize this flower-viewing banquet."

Mu Yunting paused for a moment, and Su Nuan continued, "Will Prince Yongping come too?"

"of course."

Su Nuan found it funny that Mu Yunting actually used the Prince of Yongping to seduce her.

Although she had no idea what Mu Yunting was up to, Su Nuan didn't care. She had already thought of a way to make money.

"Unfortunately, even if the Prince of Yongping comes, I wouldn't dare to take this job casually." Su Nuan said pretentiously.

"why?"

"I don't think I have the ability to do that."

"How could that be? Last time you told me about the flowers in this garden, you explained it very clearly."

"If you really want to do something, you can't just talk about it. You need real money to support it."

Mu Yunting was speechless. Was he asking him for money?

"If I let you take care of it, how much money would you need?"

Su Nuan thought for a moment and replied, "It will only be more than in previous years, not less. The exact amount of silver needed will depend on the actual situation."

Mu Yunting said: "Money is not a problem. Just ask Ding Fu for as much as you need."

Su Nuan was delighted. She didn't care what Mu Yunting was planning. She would make a lot of money from him first and then earn back the money she deserved.

"Since Your Highness has said so, I will take on this task." Su Nuan said reluctantly.

Zhang Shun listened to the entire conversation between the two. Seeing that his job was taken away, he became anxious.

"Your Highness, what is that villain doing?"

Mu Yunting didn't even look at him and replied, "Just listen to the concubine's arrangements. Do whatever she tells you to do."

Zhang Shun looked towards Su Nuan, and was slightly stunned to see Su Nuan looking at him with a half-smile, but he quickly put on a flattering look.

In the evening, after a busy day, Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju and sat on the swing.

While swinging on the swing, she was thinking about the strange things that happened to Mu Yunting today.

He suddenly mentioned Mu Yunshu, and even used Mu Yunshu to lure her into taking on the job of the flower-viewing banquet. Even though he pretended to be very intimate, the disgust in his eyes that was about to overflow could not be concealed.

"What exactly is his intention?"

Muttering softly, Su Nuan swung the swing high, and two huge heart-shaped flower beds appeared in front of her. The flower beds were already full of flowers of various colors. A green grass belt ran across the two flower beds, like an arrow piercing two hearts together.

Su Nuan likes this shape. When she was in school, the senior she had a crush on once used roses and green leaves to make this shape on the lawn and confessed his love to someone. Since then, Su Nuan has dreamed that one day someone will confess his love to her in this way.

This shape has always influenced her work. After graduation, she opened a garden design studio. For a period of time, this pattern of two hearts pierced by an arrow would appear in her designs. However, each time this pattern would be ruthlessly discarded by the client, who even laughed at her for being old-fashioned in person a few times.

Now she finally has a place of her own, where she can build whatever shape she likes without restraint.

But she never had the chance to be confessed to again.

Just when Su Nuan was daydreaming, Meixiang came back with a piece of meat, which she had exchanged for eggs from the waiter in the kitchen.

"My lady, we have meat to eat today."

When Su Nuan heard the word "meat", tears almost came out. It had been more than 20 days since she traveled through time and space, and she hadn't even tasted the slightest bit of meat.

She jumped off the swing and followed Meixiang into the small kitchen. After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to use the meat to make a braised pork dish, with Su Nuan personally cooking.

The reason why Su Nuan was the chef was because she was the best cook among the five people. She wanted to bring out the taste of the meat to its fullest. Only in this way could the meat bring out its greatest value.

After busying around for half an hour, a pot of delicious braised pork was finally ready.

Although they have been eating at the same table for many days, the four maids are still used to letting Su Nuan be the first to pick up the chopsticks after they sit down at the table.

So, under the gaze of the four people, Su Nuan picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. In an instant, an unprecedented sense of happiness filled her whole body.

"It's so delicious! It's truly a delicacy! Come and try it."

Here, the five masters and servants were eating enthusiastically, while on the other side of the Prince's Mansion, Zhang Shun and Lu Zhu were hiding behind a rockery and whispering.

"Are you sure you can kill those peonies without anyone noticing?" Lu Zhu asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, cousin." Zhang Shun said sinisterly, "I have already tampered with the fertilizer. They will definitely use those fertilizers if they want the flower buds to grow faster. In the first few days, you can hardly see any changes, but after five days, the flower buds will gradually fall off. After seven days, the whole flower will wither and eventually die. By then, let's see how Xia Qingyan will explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

This made Lu Zhu very satisfied. She smiled and said, "Your Highness has gone through a lot of trouble to find these peonies. If they are destroyed by Xia Qingyan, Your Highness will be furious. By then, let alone the flower viewing banquet, Xia Qingyan may not even be able to leave Duiyueju."

Zhang Shun said flatteringly: "Then the power of the mistress of the Prince's Mansion will still be yours, cousin."

Lu Zhu suddenly frowned and said angrily, "Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't say such things in the future. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. It's not good for people to see us meeting in private."

After saying that, Luzhu shook his sleeves and left.

After she walked away, Zhang Shun snorted bitterly from behind and said, "Why are you pretending? You're obviously so happy in your heart!"
