I just want to live a good life

Chapter 55 It would be great if I could ride a horse

In fact, Su Nuan’s so-called new money-making plan was specially formulated to lure out the traitor hiding beside her.

She used the prince as bait and deliberately said in front of the four maids that she was selling the opportunity to have a banquet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at a high price, in order to lure Cheng Ansu or other people who coveted Mu Yunting into the trap.

In fact, Cheng Ansu's name was not on her drawing lot box. In fact, all the people in it were carefully selected by her.

There are people like Cui Ruyi who are good friends with Xia Qingyan, and people like Yao Ye who have not shown any affection for Mu Yunting. On the contrary, the names of Cheng Ansu and Dong Jingshu were not written on the paper ball.

So when Meixiang said that she had delivered the invitation to Cheng Ansu, Su Nuan knew that Meixiang was Cheng Ansu's person.

But she did not show any emotion. On the one hand, she wanted to use this opportunity to get some money from Cheng Ansu. On the other hand, she felt that Meixiang would not affect her safety for the time being, and keeping her around might still be useful.

Holding the banknote given by Cheng Ansu in her hand, Su Nuan looked at it again and again until she heard footsteps approaching, then she hurriedly put the banknote away.

Looking up, the person coming was actually Mu Yunting.

Su Nuan was a little surprised and a little guilty, "Your Highness, are you here to see me?"

Mu Yunting replied: "I'm going to the horse farm, do you want to come with me?"

If she was not allowed to ride a horse, Su Nuan would definitely say "OK" happily, but she became timid when she thought that Mu Yunting was going to let her ride Linglong to the competition.

"No, I feel a little tired."

As she spoke, Su Nuan put one hand on her forehead, pretending to be weak and powerless. Her exaggerated and artificial posture made her skin crawl.

Seeing this, Mu Yunting frowned and said lightly: "Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest."

After saying this, Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting's leaving back and felt a little sad. She thought how nice it would be if she could ride a horse!

Su Nuan felt happy about riding the horse for the whole day afterwards.

The next day, Cheng Ansu indeed sent someone to deliver a lot of tea. Su Nuan called Lu Zhu, explained the origin of the tea, and asked her to take some back for Mu Yunting to taste.

She kept some for herself and asked Meixiang to make a cup for her.

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to bring Miss Cheng and His Highness together?" Meixiang asked while serving tea.

Su Nuan took the teacup and said, "It doesn't matter who I introduce you to. His Highness' heart is not with me. Miss Cheng has feelings for His Highness. As long as she is not hostile to me, it's okay to let her marry into the Prince's Mansion. I think she is also a passionate woman. Maybe having her as a companion will add a lot of fun to me."

"But Miss Cheng stole your business, aren't you angry?"

"I worked so hard in business just to make some money. Now that she gave me the money, why should I be angry?" Su Nuan said dimly, "Besides, if I really opened that shop, the result would be the same as hers, just earlier or later. By then, I might even lose a lot of money. I'm only worried about one thing now."

Meixiang asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"It's the jade bracelet from the Ruiyin Building! I'm worried that this incident will make Cheng Ansu hate me. I'm innocent in this matter. I just wanted to get some money. Who knew that the Ruiyin Building was related to the Cheng family?"

Su Nuan revealed a hint of regret as she spoke.

"This shouldn't matter. If Miss Cheng really marries into the Crown Prince's Mansion, then she and the Empress will be one family. This misunderstanding can be easily resolved."

Su Nuan snorted in her heart, thinking that even if there was no UBS Building incident, Cheng Ansu would never treat her as a family member. All the goodwill she showed now was just an attempt to get closer to the Crown Prince through her. If she was really allowed to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion, the first thing she would do would be to find a way to suppress her.

"I hope so. I just want to live a peaceful life in this prince's mansion. As for who will marry in and who will take the position of the crown princess in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

Su Nuan took a sip of tea and praised, "It is really good tea! The Cheng family is very wealthy, and if they can rely on this big tree, there will be many benefits."

As she said this, she glanced at Meixiang meaningfully. The latter was fiddling with the tea set and didn't notice anything unusual.

After sipping her tea, Su Nuan ran to the flower garden. The orchid that belonged to Yue Yuanwai had been transplanted into the flower garden by Baozhu. Without the restraint of the flowerpot, the orchid grew very well. It became full of vitality within just a few days.

The batch of roses promised to be given to Mr. Yue had just been rescued by Baozhu, and needed to be nurtured for a while before they could be delivered. Su Nuan thought of sending them over together when the roses were ready for delivery. Ye Yin said that there was something strange about Mr. Yue, so she should have less contact with him, as little as possible.

Originally, Su Nuan could have stopped trading with Yue Yuanwai since she had several thousand taels of silver in her hand, but honesty is the most important thing in business, so she decided to complete the transaction.

"Baozhu, how long will it take for Mr. Yue's flowers to be delivered?"

"My lady, at most half a month."

"Okay, you don't have to do any work at the Moon House recently. Just focus on taking care of these flowers. Once this batch of flowers is delivered, I'll reward you with a big red envelope."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baozhu said with a silly smile.

"This is what you deserve."

Baozhu contributed the most to making money from selling flowers, so she deserves a reward. In addition, Meixiang's incident also sounded a wake-up call for Su Nuan. She should be nicer to the people around her to avoid being bribed by others.

She felt that even if an honest person like Baozhu was bribed, she would not do anything outrageous to harm her because of how good she was to her.

In the evening, Cui Ruyi sent someone to tell Su Nuan that she had to go out of the city for some urgent matters and would visit the Prince's Mansion when she came back.

Su Nuan didn't care. After all, she was invited here half to put on a show for Mei Xiang.

What she cared about most at the moment was the horse racing competition the day after tomorrow. It was too late to learn horse riding in one day. Even if she had time, she couldn't find anyone to teach her. She could only think of a way to avoid it. As a last resort, she could only pretend to be injured.

Even with such a plan, she was still uneasy.

The exact opposite of her was Bi Tao. When she heard that the prince wanted her young lady to compete in a horse riding competition, she was extremely excited.

She said, "Miss, you are such a good rider, and with His Highness's fine horse, you will definitely win the race."

"Miss, this is a great opportunity to show your face in front of His Highness, you must seize it!"

"Miss, can I go to the game with you?"

"Miss……"

Just when Su Nuan was about to find a piece of cloth to cover Bitao's mouth, she suddenly had an idea. Xia Qingyan could ride a horse, so could Bitao, who followed her all day, also ride a horse?

"Bitao, why don't you go to the competition for me?"

"Miss, don't be ridiculous. I don't even know how to ride a horse. How can I compete for you?"

Su Nuan lamented silently: "Who can save me!"
