I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan couldn't help laughing at Cui Ruyi's winking face. She could probably guess what Cui Ruyi wanted to talk to her about.

Cui Ruyi expressed her admiration for Mu Yunyi at the last horse racing competition, so she naturally didn’t come to Mu Yunyi’s birthday party today just to drink.

Su Nuan didn't care about Dong Jingshu who was already in tears, and walked quickly towards Cui Ruyi.

"Qingyan, you must help me this time!"

As soon as Su Nuan came up, Cui Ruyi grabbed her hand and spoke hurriedly.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Su Nuan asked her.

"Help me find a way to win the heart of the Second Prince."

"Do you still need my help?" Su Nuan asked in surprise. In her opinion, a woman like Cui Ruyi should dare to fight for the one she loves, and she thinks Cui Ruyi's character should be very likable in this era, so she doesn't need to rely on others to pursue a boyfriend.

"Of course I need it. Of course I don't need it. Look over there. Miss Dong has already taken action. If you don't help me, the Second Prince will really be snatched away by her."

"Ruyi, I think you misunderstood. The person Miss Dong likes is not the Second Prince."

Cui Ruyi frowned and said, "Who cares whether she likes the Second Prince or not? The key is that the Second Prince is interested in her. I've heard that the Queen also intends to make Dong Jingshu her daughter-in-law."

Su Nuan sighed, "The Queen does want Dong Jingshu to be her daughter-in-law, but she wants her to be the eldest daughter-in-law, not the second."

"Is there such a thing?" Cui Ruyi asked in surprise, "That means Dong Jingshu will not marry the Second Prince! That's great! This young lady from the Dong family is gentle and elegant, and it's just right for her to marry the Crown Prince as a concubine."

Hearing this, Su Nuan's face was filled with black lines.

Perhaps sensing Su Nuan's unhappiness, Cui Ruyi said, "You're not angry, are you? I remember you said you don't like the Crown Prince, so you don't care who he marries as his concubine. But I'm different. I like the Second Prince, and I don't want him to marry someone else."

Su Nuan really wanted to say that she didn't want Mu Yunting to marry a wife, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. She was afraid that Cui Ruyi would ask her why, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Qingyan, you are my best friend. You must help me with this matter. Since the Queen wants Dong Jingshu to marry the Crown Prince, can you help me bring them together? If Dong Jingshu marries the Crown Prince, the Second Prince will no longer have any thoughts about her."

Su Nuan curled her lips. Cui Ruyi's request was too much. She didn't even understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you. Su Nuan's good impression of her began to decline.

"Ruyi, we are good sisters, that's why I'm telling you this. If you are interested in the Second Prince, I can find a chance to bring you together, but I won't bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Dong Jingshu together just to help you. Regardless of whether I like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or not, I don't want to have another mistress in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Do you understand?"

Su Nuan's tone was a little harsh when she said this. She thought Cui Ruyi would be unhappy after hearing this, but she didn't expect that the other party frowned and thought for a moment, and then said "I'm sorry" to her very sincerely.

"Qingyan, it's my fault. I was only thinking about my own affairs and never thought about your situation. Without the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your life in the Crown Prince's Mansion must be difficult. I even wanted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry Dong Jingshu. I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Su Nuan was surprised to hear Cui Ruyi say this. She silently made a decision in her heart that she wanted Mu Yunyi to fall in love with Cui Ruyi.

"I'm not angry. What I said just now about matchmaking you and the second prince was not just talk. I will let you meet alone as soon as there is a chance." Su Nuan said confidently.

She and Mu Yunyi are nominal partners, so she has the capital to say such things. After all, she can easily find a business excuse to ask Mu Yunyi out.

"Really? That's great! How can I thank you enough?"

"No need for us to thank you!"

While Su Nuan was talking to Cui Ruyi, she was paying attention to Mu Yunting's movements. Just now, Dong Jingshu left him with a pale face, and soon after returning to her seat, she started crying. Anyone could associate this reaction with Mu Yunting. In addition, Mu Yunting's aura of "no strangers allowed" at the moment meant that no one should approach him. However, in the short time she was talking to Cui Ruyi, two groups of women came to toast him.

It seems that half of the women attending the banquet came for Mu Yunting.

Su Nuan frowned slightly, and her conversation with Cui Ruyi became absent-minded.

"Qingyan, you look so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, well, actually I'm a little tired, I want to go back to my seat and rest for a while."

"Then you should go back quickly!"

After separating from Cui Ruyi, Su Nuan quickly returned to Mu Yunting.

But before she sat down, she heard Mu Yunting say, "We should go back."

"Are you leaving before the party is over?"

"It's over when I leave. What? Aren't you satisfied yet?"

Su Nuan shook her head like a rattle. Just kidding, she had wanted to come here for a long time.

"Then stop talking nonsense and let's go!"

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Yunting said he wanted to leave, the others also stood up and said goodbye.

The carriage traveled north for a long time, so long that Su Nuan fell asleep leaning against the carriage.

In a daze, I heard someone say, "Your Highness, we're here."

Then Su Nuan felt someone pushing her. When she opened her eyes, she found herself leaning on Mu Yunting's shoulder. She was so scared that she sat up straight.

"When you've had enough sleep, get up and get to the place."

Mu Yunting said this and stood up and walked out of the car.

Su Nuan followed him and got off the carriage. Only then did she realize that they were not in the Prince's Mansion at all, but at the foot of a mountain.

"Why are we here?" Su Nuan asked, looking up at the mountains in front of him.

At this hour, the sun was still shining brightly in the sky. If Su Nuan climbed the mountain at this time, she would definitely sweat. She was not in the mood for that.

"This is the last place Ye Yin came to. He disappeared here."

There was deep sadness in Mu Yunting's voice.

Speaking of Ye Yin, Su Nuan felt sad. Although she didn't have much contact with Ye Yin, she had a good impression of him. Especially since he had worked as a coachman for several times, it could be said that Ye Yin did his best to protect Su Nuan.

"Lieying and Liefeng are fine even though they were seriously injured. Yeyin will be fine too." Su Nuan tried her best to comfort Mu Yunting.

But after hearing this, Mu Yunting's expression became even gloomier.

After a long while, he spoke again: "From here, go east around the foot of the mountain and there is a pond. This morning, someone found a body beside the pond. The face of the body has been rotten and unrecognizable, but the clothes on the body are exactly the same as what Ye Yin wore that night."

"Are you trying to say that the body was Ye Yin? Ye Yin is dead?"

Su Nuan couldn't believe this was true.
