I just want to live a good life

Different from Su Nuan's disgust, Mu Yunting's look towards Mu Yunshu was a little hard to describe.

Mu Yunshu was slightly startled by the gazes of the two men, and then he said, "Although my brother's horse can be called a good horse, it is still far from a BMW. It is no match for Linglong."

Mu Yunting said: "You don't have to be modest, let's find a time to compare and we'll know."

"Yes, yes, let's have a competition. Leave this to me. I'll go and invite all the good horses in the imperial city, and we'll have a horse race." The second prince Mu Yunyi said happily, "There have been quite a few new BMW horses in the imperial city recently, and this horse race will definitely be exciting."

Then the three men started talking about horse racing. Su Nuan didn't understand and wasn't interested. She looked at Mu Yunshu from time to time. The latter nodded to her at the beginning and never looked at her again. His attitude was completely different from just now. Su Nuan became more and more certain that this man was mentally ill.

Finally, the "banquet" part of the flower-viewing banquet began. The maids came up with plates of exquisite food. Su Nuan looked at the food and swallowed her saliva in a pathetic manner.

Although Mu Yunting gave Su Nuan free dishes a few days ago, there were only one or two dishes at each meal, and Mu Yunting was mainly for show. The free dishes either had nice names or looked good, and he didn't consider Su Nuan's taste at all.

For example, the emerald jade soup served yesterday is just a cabbage and tofu soup. It is delicious and tasty, but for Su Nuan, who has been eating radishes and cabbages for more than a month, this dish is not really delicious.

Compared with the plates of delicious food in the hands of the maids in front of me, it is really nothing.

Soon, the small table in front of Su Nuan was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the food.

This was the first time Su Nuan had dinner with Mu Yunting. When she saw the Eight Treasure Duck on the table, she remembered that Kang Dahong from the kitchen once said that this dish was Mu Yunting's favorite. In order to pretend to be respectful in front of outsiders, Su Nuan picked up a piece of duck leg and put it into Mu Yunting's bowl.

Mu Yunting followed suit and picked up a piece of lotus root for Su Nuan.

A duck leg was exchanged for a piece of lotus root. Su Nuan pursed her lips and said nothing. She picked up the lotus root and ate it.

Su Nuan had been acting as a guide and a commentator this morning, which had consumed a lot of energy. Compared with the other people present, she had little food in her stomach and got hungry quickly, so as soon as the meal started, she wolfed down the food until she was half full.

With food in her stomach, she ate slower and was in the mood to listen to other people's whispers.

"Sister Jingshu, you are peeking at the Crown Prince again."

"How can I not!"

"Don't be so stubborn. You've already peeked eight times since you sat here."

"You are such a bad girl!"

Su Nuan was delighted by the coquettish words. Although the girl was complaining, her tone was full of sweetness and shyness as if someone had hit the nail on the head.

Su Nuan couldn't help but look up and saw that she really looked like a little girl.

She had just inquired that this shy woman was Dong Jingshu, the daughter of Marquis Zhongyuan. This Miss Dong was an out-and-out legitimate daughter of a marquis. Her mother, Mrs. Ning, the wife of Marquis Zhongyuan, was the niece of the current Empress Dowager.

When Dong Jingshu looked at Mu Yunting again, Su Nuan picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and put it to Mu Yunting's mouth.

This not only made Mu Yunting feel confused, but also made her herself look bewildered.

When the two looked at each other, Su Nuan was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a crack in the ground with her feet, but she had already done it, and it would be even more embarrassing for her to retreat now, not to mention that she didn't know how many eyes were staring at her at this moment.

"Your Highness, this bamboo shoot is delicious. Try it."

Hearing this, Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was about to refuse. Su Nuan quickly whispered, "Your Highness, your admirer is watching you!"

What she said was true. Dong Jingshu and Cheng Ansu were both staring at the two of them at this moment.

Mu Yunting hesitated for a moment, but finally ate the bamboo shoot.

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard Dong Jingshu's trembling voice whispering, "Could it be that the rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not interested in women are all false?"

Cheng Ansu snorted coldly and replied: "Not necessarily. I think it's probably just that Concubine Xia is being sentimental."

Su Nuan suddenly felt ashamed, for her "malice" just now and for her intimate behavior with Mu Yunting just now.

She kept her head down while eating for the rest of the meal, occasionally glancing at the untouched duck leg in Mu Yunting's bowl, and never raised her head again.

She didn't even know when the banquet ended, and she was still a little absent-minded until she returned to Duiyueju.

It was Bi Tao's words that woke her up from her dream.

"Miss, the roses are ruined. What about the 100 pots of flowers that Mr. Yue ordered?"

This really made Su Nuan feel troubled. Although there were many other flowers besides roses in the Prince's Mansion, there were more than a hundred flowers in the flower beds of her Duiyue Residence alone, but it was difficult to get the bright and popular varieties that Mr. Yue wanted in a short period of time.

"Bi Tao" Su Nuan said, "Tomorrow you take 20 taels of silver and go to Mr. Yue and tell him that we have an accident and cannot provide 100 pots of flowers at the moment. Ask him if he can give us a few more days. If he can, we are willing to give him 20 more pots at the original price. If not, you can return the deposit to him."

Chun Liu said, "Miss, how can we still have 20 taels of silver? A few days ago you took 35 taels in one go to treat Cai Ya's illness."

Su Nuan calculated in her mind that she really didn't have that much money. After thinking it over, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll just pawn it and pay the deposit."

"How can that be possible?" Chun Liu was anxious. "This is the dowry that Madam gave to Miss. How can we just pawn it? Besides, Miss doesn't even have a decent outfit now. If she pawns this jade bracelet, Miss will look so shabby when she goes out in the future!"

"We have no choice!" Su Nuan said helplessly, "We need to be honest when doing business. If we can't deliver the goods on the stipulated date, we can only compensate them."

"Then Miss shouldn't have treated Cai Ya's illness." Chun Liu muttered.

Su Nuan was a little angry, but what Chun Liu said was right. If she hadn't treated Cai Ya, this wouldn't have happened. She was indeed impulsive at the time and asked Baozhu to get medicine for Cai Ya. If she had known this would happen, she would have asked Baozhu to get fewer doses.

Seeing that Su Nuan was speechless, Mei Xiang stepped forward and said, "The Concubine gave money to Cai Ya to treat her illness only because she was kind and caring about the servants. The servants in our Prince's Mansion are all grateful for your kindness. How can you say that you shouldn't have done it?"

"What's the use of them being grateful to the young lady for her kindness? The young lady is about to pawn her dowry now. Can they help her?"

Chunliu was a little excited.

It all comes down to money. Su Nuan feels that she should open a cake shop as soon as possible so that she can have a stable income.

When she thought of the cake shop, Su Nuan suddenly remembered that Mu Yunting asked her to make a cake, but all the eggs she had saved were used up today. If she wanted to make a cake, she could only borrow a few eggs from the kitchen.

Suddenly, a plan of laying eggs by borrowing chickens emerged in her mind!
