I just want to live a good life

"To visit my father-in-law."

Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting suspiciously. The latter rubbed his brows with his hand, looking very tired.

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and the only sound was the rolling of wheels.

After a moment of silence, Su Nuan said, "Your Highness, have you heard about what happened at the UBS building recently?"

"Ah."

Su Nuan waited for a long time but got no further comments, feeling unhappy. "Your Highness, do you have no opinion on this matter?"

"It's just that someone took the opportunity to cause trouble." Mu Yunting said calmly.

"Then Your Highness, do you know who is the person who caused the incident?" Su Nuan asked.

Mu Yunting said: "I don't know who this person is, but I guess he is coming for you."

"Ah?" This was different from Su Nuan's opinion. "Why do you say it was aimed at me? Wasn't it aimed at Cheng Ji?"

Mu Yunting said lazily: "On the surface, it seems that someone is suppressing UBS, but if you think about it, you will find that the person who has suffered the most in this matter is actually you."

Su Nuan asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? I clearly made money from UBS!"

Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan with disdain and said coldly: "Is money all you care about?"

Su Nuan asked: "Then what else should we have?"

Mu Yunting replied unhappily: "Your reputation, identity, and your place in my heart, none of these is less important than money!"

Su Nuan curled her lips and thought, "To me, none of these things is as important as money."

"Now there are rumors everywhere that you are harassing UBS for a small matter. Even if UBS cheated you first, if UBS is ruined because of this, you will inevitably be considered as bullying the weak."

Mu Yunting continued, "A concubine of the crown prince can bully the weak because she has the crown prince behind her, so the blame will be directed at me in the end. Others will say that I condoned you to bully others outside. Your little greed will bring me a bad reputation. Do you think I will hate you, a troublesome woman, by then?"

Su Nuan thought that if she was just a concubine waiting to be favored by the prince, then being hated by the prince would be the biggest loss for her.

However, she was not a concubine waiting to be favored, so this loss meant nothing to her. What she cared about was whether this matter would involve the Xia family.

"Your Highness is wise and will definitely not fulfill the evildoer's wishes. But I am worried that the mastermind behind this is not just targeting me. He has provoked a conflict between Cheng Ji and my father. Cheng Ji has already attacked my father in the court. If the two of them have a conflict, it will not be a good thing for our Nanzhao Kingdom."

"Ah."

Su Nuan hated the word "hmm" so much that she silently made up her mind that if Mu Yunting said "hmm" again before reaching the general's mansion, she would punch him.

In order to prevent herself from throwing the punch, she decided not to talk to Mu Yunting before arriving.

Seeing Su Nuan shut up and stopped talking, Mu Yunting coughed lightly and said slowly: "We can't let the two of them have a conflict over this matter, so I specially went with you to see General Xia today."

"With me here, Cheng Ji won't do anything to you, and General Xia doesn't need to take his little actions in the court to heart."

Hearing Mu Yunting say this, Su Nuan was a little bit unbelievable. Thinking about the many changes that Mu Yunting had made towards her recently, she couldn't help but feel moved.

She immediately thought of what Chun Liu had been whispering in her ear recently: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is probably attracted to Miss!"

These words seemed to have magical power, keeping her eyes glued to Mu Yunting's face for a long time.

Mu Yunting felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her and coughed lightly again.

Su Nuan finally came to her senses and felt very embarrassed about her gaffe.

After that, the carriage fell completely silent. Neither of them spoke another word until the carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion.

When the guards of the general's mansion saw that the people getting off the carriage were their second young lady and the crown prince, they hurried back to report.

After a while, the guard's voice was heard, "The Second Miss is back with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

A moment later, Xia Lian, Madam Xia and Xia Changze came out.

As soon as they met, the three of them bowed to Mu Yunting and Su Nuan. Xia Lian said loudly, "I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"

Mu Yunting replied calmly: "We are all family, General Xia, you don't have to be polite!"

Su Nuan, who was listening to this, complained inwardly: "Since we are a family, why do you still address each other in such a strange way?"

After the two exchanged greetings, Xia Lian led Mu Yunting to walk in front. Mrs. Xia walked to Su Nuan, grabbed her hand, and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Su Nuan guessed that Mrs. Xia was embarrassed because Mu Yunting was there, otherwise she would have rushed over and hugged her and cried.

"How much suffering must have been endured! Even my palms are rough!"

Madam Xia stroked Su Nuan's hand and said.

Xia Changze reminded quietly: "Mom, let's go back first, and we can talk later if we have anything to say!"

As she spoke, she looked towards Mu Yunting. Seeing this, Mrs. Xia wiped her tears and pulled Su Nuan inside.

The five of them entered Chongwu Hall. After chatting for a while, Xia Lian took Mu Yunting to the study. Su Nuan was left alone to follow Madam Xia and Xia Changze into the inner courtyard.

The mother and her two children came to a pavilion in the garden, where Xia Qingyan's two sisters-in-law and Xia Qingyao were already waiting.

Su Nuan greeted the three people one by one.

Xia Qingyao suddenly said, "You all say that my sister was wronged by marrying into the prince's mansion, but I think the prince treats her very well. He even accompanies her in person whenever he goes back to her parents' home."

Su Nuan heard the sourness in her words, smiled slightly and ignored her.

Madam Xia said, "Don't be so sarcastic here. Your sister works as a gardener in the Prince's Mansion. Her hands are rough. When has she ever been asked to do any work in our General's Mansion?"

"When I think of my beloved daughter being bullied by someone else, I feel so sad."

"Yes, my little sister has been pampered by all of us since she was a child, so she has developed a lot of courage and dares to do anything. This time she has offended the Cheng family, and we will all suffer in the future!"

Madam Xia frowned and said, "Why are you saying this? Your sister rarely comes back, can't you say something happy?"

Xia Qingyao said: "You have happy things to say, but I don't."

"Then shut up."

"Why bother? I'm an eyesore here anyway, so I might as well go back to my room."

After Xia Qingyao finished speaking, she really got up and left.

Leaving everyone feeling awkward.

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law Yu took Su Nuan's hand and said, "The eldest lady is also feeling miserable, don't blame her."

Second sister-in-law Nie said: "It's all caused by that Prince Yongping. He is a troublemaker."

Su Nuan asked: "Sister, are you still dating Prince Yongping?"

Madam Xia sighed and replied, "She just can't give up on this."

Xia Changze said: "It's not Qingyao's fault. It was Mu Yunshu who had been giving her hope."

Su Nuan thought about what Mu Yunshu said to her at the flower-viewing banquet, and suddenly realized that Mu Yunshu was a scumbag.

Is she wondering whether she should tell Xia Qingyao the true identity of Mu Yunshu?
