I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan was thinking about one question all the way, which was why she came to Lanyue Pavilion.

When they returned to Duiyueju, Chunliu had already prepared breakfast. Su Nuan took a look at the food on the table and felt that she had no appetite.

This is not her style. Even if she had eaten radishes every day before, she didn't have an appetite for that meal. How could she not have an appetite now when facing a table full of delicious food!

Sitting at the dining table, Su Nuan grabbed a small bun and stuffed it into her mouth. When the delicious filling burst in her mouth, her appetite was instantly aroused.

With delicious food in front of her, Su Nuan had already forgotten about Mu Yunting. Because of this, she felt much better.

Before the meal was finished, a servant from the mansion came to report that the second prince wanted to see him.

He came to ask for a meeting so early in the morning. Could it be that he earned the money on his own?

With doubts, Su Nuan finished the remaining food in the bowl, then took Chun Liu and the servant to see Mu Yunyi.

Arriving at the door of Tinglan Pavilion, Su Nuan asked the servant: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside?"

The servant replied, "No, His Highness said that His Highness the Second Prince made a bet with you, the Concubine, and it is enough for you to come alone to see His Highness the Second Prince."

Su Nuan curled her lips, said nothing, and followed the servant into Tinglan Pavilion.

At this time, in Tinglan Pavilion, a man in coarse cloth was standing with his back to the door and his hands behind his back.

This man looks very similar to Mu Yunyi, but he is dressed so simply that Su Nuan is a little hesitant to recognize him.

The servant who led the way was very clever. He saw Su Nuan's hesitation and said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, the Concubine is here."

Mu Yunyi turned around when he heard the voice, and bowed deeply when he saw Su Nuan.

"What is the Second Prince doing?" Su Nuan asked in surprise.

Mu Yunyi replied with a hint of pride on his face: "Thank you first, Concubine Xia, for lending me the money."

"Oh? So you've earned a tael of silver?"

Mu Yunyi poured out a tael of silver from his purse and carefully held it in his palm, "Look, this is a genuine tael of silver."

Su Nuan naturally didn't doubt that his silver was fake, she was just curious about how he earned this tael of silver, "Tell me how you earned this silver."

"This is a long story." Mu Yunyi gently placed the silver on the table beside him, put his hands behind his back, and began to talk about his experience of earning the one or two taels of silver.

After listening for a while, Su Nuan regretted asking Mu Yunyi to describe the process of making money, because he was too long-winded. He even described in detail what he ate every day and how it tasted.

Half an hour later, Su Nuan leaned back in her chair, holding her forehead with one hand. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Mu Yunyi suddenly shouted, "Where are you running to, little thief!"

The sound scared Su Nuan so much that she almost fell off the chair. Fortunately, Chun Liu reached out and held her in time.

"That little thief ran very fast. If it was someone else, he would have been allowed to run away. Unfortunately, he ran into me. I saw that I couldn't outrun him, so I picked up a stone and smashed it hard on his head..."

Su Nuan finally understood that Mu Yunyi was talking about the process of catching a thief.

"…The old man whose purse was stolen gave me one or two ounces of silver to thank me."

When Mu Yunyi said this, he looked at Su Nuan with proud eyes again.

Su Nuan felt as if there were a group of alpacas running in front of her eyes. Something that could be said in just one sentence took Mu Yunyi almost an hour to finish.

She finally understood why Mu Yunting asked her to come alone to see Mu Yunyi. He must have foreseen this situation.

Su Nuan was a little unhappy. She was obviously trying to save money for Mu Yunting, but in the end she had to deal with this hard job alone.

So she said with dissatisfaction: "So, you took the thank-you gift given to you by others as your own money and came to borrow money from me?"

The expression on Mu Yunyi's face froze instantly. "Although this is a thank-you gift, it is also earned by my hard work. Our agreement is that as long as I don't use my status as a prince to earn the money, it will be fine. I'm dressed like this, and the old man didn't know I was the second prince when he gave me the money. You can't say that my money doesn't count."

"I didn't say your money doesn't count. I just think you're lucky to have run into a thief."

After hearing Su Nuan say this, Mu Yunyi's expression softened a little.

"Then Concubine Xia, please ask Steward Ding to get me the silver quickly."

"Don't worry." Su Nuan said with a smile: "Before you take the money, I want to introduce you to a business and see if you are interested."

When Mu Yunyi heard that there was a business to be introduced to him, he immediately became interested, "What business is it? Tell me about it!"

Su Nuan briefly explained her ideas, and Mu Yunyi's eyes became brighter as he listened. By the time Su Nuan finished speaking, he was already showing signs of impatience.

Su Nuan saw it and felt a sense of joy as if a fish was about to be hooked.

"How is it? Is the Second Prince interested in this business? Do you want to get involved?"

"I want to! But how can I participate in it?"

"Join us, five thousand taels of silver, and we'll split the profits in half, how about that?"

Mu Yunyi asked in surprise: "Is Concubine Xia doing this business?"

"Yes, I am doing it."

"Who gave you such a good idea? Can you introduce that person to me?" Mu Yunting said anxiously.

"What? You want to get rid of me and do this business alone?"

Mu Yunyi blushed and said awkwardly, "What are you talking about, Concubine Xia? How could I do such a thing?"

Su Nuan snorted in her heart, I wouldn’t do that kind of thing, why are you blushing.

However, she knew the principle of seeing through but not saying anything, and said with a smile: "Since you are not going to get rid of me and work on your own, there is no need for you to introduce her to you. As long as you do business with me, there will always be a chance to meet her in the future."

She thought this was a good idea, as it would make Mu Yunyi feel like he had an expert guiding him, which would add some mystery and make him more awed.

Mu Yunyi nodded in agreement with Su Nuan, but then he looked embarrassed, "The deal Concubine Xia mentioned is good, but I don't have enough money! I only have three thousand taels, and I won it by betting with you."

As a prince, he was like a poor guy, so Su Nuan felt sorry for him.

"If you can't come up with five thousand taels of silver, then three thousand taels will do. However, we can't split the money 50-50. How about we split it 70-30, you take 30 and I take 70?"

After hearing this, Mu Yunyi thought about it seriously. He frowned and clenched his teeth. Su Nuan felt that she could even hear the crunching sound of his back teeth rubbing against each other.

It seemed that he had gone through a mental struggle. Finally, Mu Yunyi looked at Su Nuan and said through gritted teeth: "30% to 70%."

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Mu Yunyi would run to borrow another two thousand taels of silver to invest in the company. She couldn't bear to give him an extra 20%. Because in her plan, Mu Yunyi only needed to show up at some key occasions, and giving him 30% of the profits would already make her feel bad.

Afterwards, the two of them finalized some details, and Mu Yunyi left with satisfaction.

Su Nuan took three thousand taels of silver from Manager Ding in the name of losing a bet. Together with her own silver, it was enough for her to do a big business in the imperial city.
