I just want to live a good life

In the Prince's Mansion, Su Nuan had a good sleep. After waking up, she still felt depressed. Thinking of what Cai Ya had sent back yesterday, she decided to take a trip to Zhusheng Street.

Although the assassin had been caught yesterday, she still dressed herself up for the sake of caution. She changed into the coarse cloth clothes that Chunliu had sewn for her, and carried a shopping basket, looking no different from a farm woman.

Dressed like this, Su Nuan refused Bi Tao's request to go with her and slipped out of the corner door of the Prince's Mansion alone.

People were coming and going on the street, but no one even looked at her twice, which made Su Nuan feel very accomplished. It was indeed the right outfit to go out.

I didn’t feel how far the road was before when I was sitting in the carriage, but now that I’m walking on my own two feet, the sense of distance suddenly becomes apparent, especially when I have to walk under the scorching sun.

After walking for half an hour, Su Nuan could no longer walk, so she found a teahouse, sat down and ordered a cup of tea.

The weather was hot and the teahouse was doing good business. Many people on their way would come in to have a cup of tea to quench their thirst.

When there are many people, there are many words.

Su Nuan sat behind the table, drinking tea and listening silently to the chats of passers-by.

"Have you heard that a new music studio has opened in the south of the city? The musicians and singers there are all beauties."

"How beautiful can she be? Can she be more beautiful than Miss Qingning from Yicui Tower?"

"How are they the same? One is selling his art and the other is selling his body."

"Don't talk nonsense. Miss Qingning doesn't sell herself. I heard that she is the confidante of the Third Prince."

"Who is talking nonsense? Everyone knows that the girls in Yicui Tower are all flirtatious. Qingning is one of them. Who would believe you if you said she only performed for the sake of her art?"

"Keep your voice down, be careful not to let others hear you. If this gets to the Third Prince's ears, it might cost you your life."

"Why should we be afraid of him? A prince having an affair with a prostitute brings shame to our Nanzhao Kingdom."

"If we talk about shame, it's not the Third Prince's turn. Our Crown Prince should be ranked first."

"That's right. It's fine if I'm a homosexual, but marrying a concubine who is involved with my brother is really shameful."

"Let's not talk about this royal matter. Be careful with your head."

Su Nuan was a little confused. She really wanted to ask those two people what basis they had for saying that she was having an affair with the Second Prince.

She tried to recall the few times she had met Mu Yunyi. She felt that she had avoided suspicion. The closest distance between them was three meters. How could someone spread such a rumor? Someone must be behind this.

With a long sigh, Su Nuan poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

The good mood for going out is gone. If I want to cheer myself up, I can only go to see Ying Shu as soon as possible, look at the account book of money, and see the white money.

Now her only pleasure is money!

When she reached Zhusheng Street, Su Nuan was already sweating profusely, but she didn't bother to wipe the sweat off her face because the scene before her was so unexpected.

The last time she came here to plan this land with Ying Shu, this was the most depressed place within a radius of five miles. Now these two streets are so prosperous that it is unimaginable.

"How did he do it? He's such a talented person!" Su Nuan said to herself.

She passed through the crowded crowd and came to a shop at the innermost part of the street. This was the office reserved for Ying Shu at that time. The shop had been completely renovated, with a delicate plaque on the lintel with the characters "Liang Yi Zhai" written in a flamboyant style.

Although she didn't know what this "Liang Yi Zhai" was doing, Su Nuan felt that just by looking at the plaque, she could tell that it was an upscale place.

Stepping into Liangyi Zhai, this small shop was deserted and quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the prosperity of the street outside.

Ying Shu was writing something at his desk, and a middle-aged man was sitting opposite him, breath held and concentrating.

Hearing Su Nuan's footsteps, Ying Shu looked up. When he saw Su Nuan, he was distracted for a moment, then lowered his head and continued writing.

Su Nuan didn't disturb him. She found a chair, sat down and waited patiently.

After a while, Ying Shu finally stopped. He put the pen down, then picked up the paper, shook it gently twice, and waited for the ink to dry before folding the paper, putting it in an envelope, and handing it to the middle-aged man.

"Boss Zhou's fortune has been told. I have written the fortune and explanation in this letter. You just need to take it back to Boss Zhou."

"Thank you, Mr. Ying!" The man thanked him devoutly, then took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table, "This is a small gift from our boss, please accept it."

Ying Shu was not polite and took the silver and put it into the wooden box behind him.

The middle-aged man carefully put away the envelope and left in a hurry.

Ying Shu stood up, clasped his fists and saluted towards Su Nuan, then asked curiously: "My Lady Concubine, what are you doing..."

Seeing that his eyes were fixed on her coarse cloth clothes, Su Nuan knew what he wanted to ask. She smiled and said, "It's safe to go out wearing clothes like this!"

Ying Shu was slightly stunned, then smiled knowingly.

"Your Highness, you are here at the right time today. Please review the accounts for the recent period."

As he said this, he took out an account book from another wooden box and handed it to Su Nuan.

Su Nuan took the account book and read it carefully page by page, calculating silently in her mind as she read.

It only took half a cup of tea to finish reading and verifying the version of the account book.

Closing the account book, Su Nuan smiled and said, "I really didn't make a mistake about you. In less than a month, you have arranged all the shops so well. Not only did you make back my capital, but you also managed to get several deals. You are doing very well!"

"What should I reward you with?" Su Nuan asked. She had to keep such a talent, so naturally she had to give him more benefits. However, she had not thought of what to give him. Secondly, her business had just started to pick up, so she could not give him too much money. When she asked this question, she threw the problem to Ying Shu.

Ying Shu just smiled faintly, "My Lady Concubine, you allowed me to stay here and gave me the use of this shop. I have no way to repay you for your kindness to me, and I dare not ask for your reward."

Su Nuan was very pleased to hear this, but she would not take it seriously. If the other party didn't dare to ask for it, she would not give it to him.

She has always been a generous boss to talented people.

After a moment's silence, Su Nuan said, "How about this, I think it will be very tiring for you to handle so many things by yourself, so I'll find two assistants to help you."

Ying Shu did not refuse, but just smiled faintly.

Su Nuan came back to his senses. He was afraid that he had misunderstood that he wanted someone to watch him, so he quickly added: "I'll pay the money, and you can find the person yourself."

This time Ying Shu readily agreed.

"Just now I saw you telling fortunes for people. Is this what your "Liang Yi Zhai" does?

"It's just a way of making a living. I'm sorry to make the concubine laugh at me!"

"Well, I want you to test it for me."

"If the Concubine is interested, please write a word on the paper."

Su Nuan thought about it and was about to write when suddenly a woman's crisp voice came from the door, "Ying Shu, guess what good things I brought you?"

Su Nuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman in luxurious clothes walking in carrying something.

This woman has bright eyes, white teeth and a charming smile. It is obvious that she is not a lady from an ordinary family.

Su Nuan always felt that she had seen this woman somewhere.
