I just want to live a good life

Chapter 348 Don’t Call Me Concubine Xia Anymore

It was already late at night when Mu Yunting got the token.

He has been acting very abnormal ever since he came back from Xia Lian’s military camp the day before yesterday.

Because it behaved too normally.

He went to court, ate normally, and slept normally, as if he had completely forgotten about Xia Qingyan.

Mu Yunting also did something very shocking. He agreed to marry a queen, and the candidate was naturally Xun Zheng, who was chosen by the queen.

Although the emperor was quite dissatisfied with the prince marrying an orphan, he granted the marriage without hesitation after seeing the prince's infatuation with Concubine Xia.

The prince is marrying his principal wife, which is a great event. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated the auspicious days in the coming year and finally set the auspicious day as May 18th, half a year later.

General Xia has not attended court these two days, and he also submitted a memorial to the emperor, the content of which is unknown.

That night, Mu Yunting was staring at the token in the Lanyue Pavilion.

At midnight, a figure flashed into the Lanyue Pavilion.

The guards at the door were unaware of the visitor because he was too familiar with the place and knew how to avoid being seen.

"Your Highness, those assassins are not the Queen's men."

Ye Yin's words did not cause much reaction from Mu Yunting. He just raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Whose man is that?"

Ye Yin was slightly startled. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too calm, which was very abnormal.

"We haven't found out who these people are yet. We only know that they came from the south."

Mu Yunting pondered in silence, rubbing the token in his hand with his thumb from time to time.

After a long while, Mu Yunting slowly said, "Go and do what you should do."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Ye Yin came quietly and left quietly, and no one noticed him in the huge Prince's Mansion.

When Su Nuan returned to the courtyard, Su Qingmo had already prepared the meal. He looked up and saw that Su Nuan had brought back one more person, and suddenly felt that he had not cooked enough food.

With Song Qi's personality, he didn't want to come back with Su Nuan. He was used to being alone, but Su Nuan insisted on having him come back with her.

After a brief introduction, Su Nuan pulled Song Qi to sit down and eat.

"Concubine Xia, guess who we met today?"

Su Qingmo asked mysteriously.

"Who?"

"Shopkeeper Chen."

"Which shopkeeper Chen?"

"The one in the UBS building?"

"Did you go to the UBS building?"

Su Nuan was surprised. The South City where they lived was quite far from the UBS Building. It would take the two of them two or three hours to walk back and forth.

"We didn't go to the Ruiyin Building. We met Manager Chen at the market in South City. He no longer works at the Ruiyin Building. He has set up a stall in South City to sell ordinary silverware."

“Why isn’t he in the UBS building anymore?”

Su Nuan found it unbelievable. Why would a good person like the owner of UBS Building give up his job and set up a stall outside? Something must have happened.

"I don't know. I'm not familiar with him, so I didn't ask."

Su Qingmo replied nonchalantly.

Su Nuan was now feeling uncomfortable. This was not the way to chat. Things just started but ended up with no follow-up. Who could stand this?

Su Nuan's mind was full of what happened to the UBS building? Why didn't Manager Chen work there anymore?

Even the food in my mouth doesn’t taste good anymore.

Just when he was feeling depressed, Song Qi suddenly spoke up: "That shopkeeper Chen was driven out by the second prince."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuan immediately became alert.

"What? He was raped. Why did the Second Prince chase him away?"

"It's probably because the business of Ruiyin Building is getting worse day by day, and the second prince lost money."

Su Nuan sighed, "This Second Prince is really not cut out for business. It's only been a few days since he handed over the UBS Building, and he's already losing money!"

Song Qi said: "It seems that Manager Chen deliberately lost money because he was dissatisfied with the Second Prince's reduction of his monthly salary."

"Compared with the income of the UBS Building, is Manager Chen's monthly salary still considered money? The Second Prince is willing to save even that little bit of money. He is really promising."

"The Second Prince has no choice. The little money earned by Ruiyin Building is not enough to honor the Queen and the Queen Mother. Naturally, he has to save money everywhere."

"You know this as well?"

Su Nuan looked at Song Qi with admiration, which made Song Qi feel a little embarrassed.

How can I not admire him? The Ministry of Justice sent so many people to investigate Xia Changze's case but failed to find any useful clues, but Song Qi found the key to the case alone.

Su Nuan now regrets letting Song Qi go to see Lord Shen. What if Lord Shen comes to his senses and finds out that Song Qi is a talented person who is trying to poach his people? The Ministry of Justice is a stable job and she doesn't know what will happen to her. What if she can't find Fusheng and get the money back, she will have to flee to the ends of the earth with only twenty taels of silver. How can she keep him here?

Therefore, finding Fusheng is the key right now, so Yinzi successfully pulled Su Nuan back from the gossip UBS building and started talking about business.

Song Qi hadn't seen Fusheng for some time, but the two had worked together before, and he had his own way of finding people, so Su Nuan had great confidence in him.

Then Su Qingmo talked about some interesting things that he and Chu Qi had encountered outside during the day. This man had a clever tongue, so an ordinary thing became more interesting when told from his mouth.

Although what he said was irrelevant to the main business, everyone else listened with great interest.

The meal was delicious.

After dinner, Song Qi went back. He and Su Nuan agreed that no matter whether they could find Fusheng or not, they would meet in this courtyard in two days.

At night, Su Nuan lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

It's impossible for Mu Yunting to marry Xun Zheng and say she doesn't care. It's okay when she's chatting and laughing with everyone, but when she's alone, the bitterness in her heart tries hard to get out.

By the end, not only did my heart feel sore, but my eyes also felt sore, and my tears kept flowing like crazy.

While crying, Su Nuan scolded herself for being useless. She failed to keep the money and failed to keep the man. She was a loser in the past and she was still a loser after becoming Xia Qingyan.

The feeling of failure grew stronger in the darkness, and Su Nuan started crying silently, but later couldn't help crying out loud. Chu Qi and Ye Xiaobai who lived in the next room could hear it clearly.

Even Ying Shu, who was separated by a wall, could hear her sobbing.

The three of them wanted to comfort her, but what should they comfort her with?

I don’t know how to comfort her, so I might as well let her cry her heart out. After she cries, all the sad things will be gone with her tears.

That night, among the five people in the two courtyards, only Su Qingmo slept soundly. He was also the only one who made a fuss at Su Nuan's red and swollen eyes the next morning.

"Concubine Xia, what's wrong with you?"

"cough cough"

"cough cough"

Chu Qi and Ye Xiaobai tried to interrupt Su Qingmo by coughing, but unfortunately they failed.

"Why are your eyes swollen?"

Su Nuan felt a little embarrassed, but looking at the expressions of Chu Qi and Ye Xiaobai, they must have heard her crying last night, so there was no need to hide it.

So she answered Su Qingmo openly: "I cried last night. And don't call me Concubine Xia anymore."
