I just want to live a good life

"Your Highness, I didn't do it. Please spare my life!"

When Xiaodouzi was dragged out of the lilac garden, he suddenly cried out at the top of his lungs.

The sound seemed to be thorny, piercing Su Nuan's ears again and again.

"Just die!"

Taking a deep breath, Su Nuan stood up from the rockery and shouted to the guards, "Let him go!"

The guard was surprised to see a person suddenly appear on the rockery. He drew his sword halfway before he realized that the person was the prince's concubine.

The guard saluted towards Su Nuan, and Su Nuan pointed at him and said loudly: "Stand there and don't move. I'll be down right away."

After saying that, she lay down again in full view of everyone and retreated from the rockery little by little.

The posture is a bit ugly, but there is no other way. The rockery is three meters high, and jumping down directly may cause breaking of legs.

After finally landing on the ground, Su Nuan suddenly smelled a faint scent of grass and woods. Her heart tightened. She knew who the smell came from, but he was too fast. How did he get to her in the time it took her to get to the ground?

Su Nuan turned around and was slightly stunned when she met Mu Yunting's face. The man in front of her looked more drunk than in the morning, but the bloodshot in his eyes was gone, and his messy hair was combed neatly.

She couldn't help but glance at Lou Guang, and for a moment, her mood was a little complicated.

"What are you doing here?"

Mu Yunting's voice was as cold as ever.

Su Nuan swallowed her saliva and said, "I heard that His Highness is hosting a banquet here, and I remembered that I once had a very unique carved radish, so I wanted to send a portion for the guests to taste."

After hearing this, Mu Yunting narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Nuan, looking like a wolf staring at its prey, which made Su Nuan feel creepy.

"Did you change the dish?"

Su Nuan swallowed nervously, "I changed it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nuan suddenly felt her neck tighten, and Mu Yunting's hand was already pinching her neck.

"you……"

Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting in disbelief. Although his hands had not yet exerted any strength, Su Nuan still felt an unprecedented fear in her heart.

At this moment, Mu Yunting's black eyes were filled with murderous intent. He asked word by word: "Why do you do this?"

Can you say "eat too much radish to relieve your anger"? Of course not. Su Nuan was so upset. Wasn't it just because she ate radishes for a month? Wasn't it just because she was given one less meal? Wasn't it just because someone mocked her behind her back?

When she was the poorest, she couldn't even afford radishes to eat. Now she has enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and makes money. Why is she so stupid as to get angry with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over such a small matter?

Now that I have offended this evil spirit, my life is in danger.

It’s a pity that she traveled through time and space and became a wealthy noblewoman, but she hasn’t even had a day of rich life yet.

No, I can't just die like this, just because of two carrots. That would be too depressing.

A real man can bend and stretch, and a little woman can stick together at critical moments!

"I just wanted to make His Highness happy," Su Nuan said in a flattering tone, "I felt very sad when I saw His Highness looking so sad this morning. I am in the Prince's Mansion, enjoying everything His Highness has given me, so I should be thinking about His Highness. I am happy when His Highness is happy, and I will try to make His Highness happy when His Highness is unhappy. The little turtle I carved is very cute and adorable. I thought His Highness would smile when he saw it, but I didn't expect it would make His Highness angry. I really deserve to die. But Your Highness, considering my sincere love for you, please let me off the hook."

After saying this, Su Nuan still looked at Mu Yunting pitifully.

Perhaps he didn't expect her to say such a thing, Mu Yunting's expression broke a little, and the hand that was pinching Su Nuan's neck had lost its momentum and was retracted.

Su Nuan thought she had seen it wrong and blinked hard. After she was sure that she saw a smile on Mu Yunting's slightly upturned mouth, she finally calmed down.

It was not until then that Su Nuan noticed that behind Mu Yunting, Lou Guang was looking at her with a half-smile, and the marks on his face from being beaten by the original body Xia Qingyan were still faintly visible.

She always believed that the whip on Lou Guang's face was the biggest disaster caused by her original self, Xia Qingyan, and now was the right time for Lou Guang to take revenge.

No matter whether she made Mu Yunting laugh just now or not, as long as Lou Guang said something unfavorable to her, Mu Yunting would most likely kill her under the influence of alcohol.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan's heart sank.

"I, Lou Guang, greet Concubine Xia!"

Lou Guang walked forward and saluted Su Nuan. The two little turtles in his hands were very eye-catching.

Su Nuan looked at Lou Guang warily, while desperately thinking of a way to escape.

"If your highness wants to eat Eight Treasure Duck, just ask the kitchen to make another serving." Lou Guang played with the two little turtles and continued, "I think the little turtles that Concubine Xia gave to your highness are delicate and adorable, and they represent Concubine Xia's love for your highness. Compared with a serving of Eight Treasure Duck, it is much more precious. Your highness might as well invite Concubine Xia to have a drink with you."

Su Nuan frowned slightly when she heard him say this. She thought Lou Guang would take this opportunity to retaliate against her, but she didn't expect that he would actually speak well of her.

She wasn't sure whether the other party was really helping her or had some vicious tricks waiting for her, but after all, it was the original Xia Qingyan who was in the wrong to provoke him first, and now that he was showing goodwill first, she should express her attitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Lou, for understanding my intentions in giving these two little turtles!"

Su Nuan bowed to Lou Guangying and continued, "I bow to apologize to Mr. Lou for Xia Qingyan in the past. Xia Qingyan in the past was ignorant, so please don't take it personally."

Lou Guang smiled faintly and said, "Concubine Xia, you are too serious. I did not take that matter to heart."

At this moment, Mu Yunting suddenly spoke up and said to Su Nuan, "Go back to Duiyueju. We will settle today's matter later."

The words "we'll settle accounts later" are too scary! Su Nuan's smile froze on her face.

Seeing Su Nuan standing there in a daze, Mu Yunting took a step closer and whispered in her ear, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to settle accounts with you now?"

A handsome face was so close to her that Su Nuan's heart skipped a beat without warning. She hurriedly took a few steps back to distance herself from Mu Yunting.

"I will take my leave without disturbing your Highness's banquet."

Su Nuan ran towards Duiyueju as if running for her life.

"Your Highness, did you know that Concubine Xia was hiding on the rockery?" Lou Guang asked curiously.

Mu Yunting did not answer, which was considered as his agreement.

"I was wondering why His Highness would get angry with a child. Turns out he wanted to force Concubine Xia to show up."

The two talked as they walked and came to the stone table.

Lou Guang raised his glass to Mu Yunting and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on finding a good match!"

Mu Yunting snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "How can she be considered a good match?"

"Who is the perfect match then?" Lou Guang sighed and said, "The person is gone, Your Highness should cherish the one in front of you!"

Mu Yunting picked up the wine jug in front of him and took a big gulp. Maybe it was because the wine was too strong, but after taking this sip, his eyes turned slightly red.

"This Concubine Xia's cooking skills are really good." Lou Guang placed the little turtle in front of Mu Yunting. "Such lively and interesting women are rare in this imperial city!"

"Really?" Mu Yunting smiled contemptuously, "It's a pity that this lively woman is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals, and she is a big trouble. It won't be long before I return her to the Xia family."
