I just want to live a good life

Chapter 457: Do it for the future Crown Princess

"Concubine Xia, it's so late, aren't you going to rest?"

Watching Ye Xiaobai enter the residence, Ye Yin stood in place and whispered to Su Nuan.

Su Nuan was not surprised at all that Ye Yin discovered her, but it was still a little unnatural to be exposed on the spot.

Because of the secret meeting, Ye Yin's attitude towards Su Nuan became cold and harsh.

The commander of the Crown Prince's secret guards had a cold face and exuded an oppressive feeling.

Su Nuan didn't understand why Ye Yin suddenly had this attitude, and frowned and asked back: "Why are you here?"

Ye Yin glanced, avoiding Su Nuan's gaze, and replied: "I saw someone sneaking around in the mansion, so I followed him to take a look. I didn't expect that this person was Concubine Xia's coachman, and I didn't expect Concubine Xia to be here too."

This statement clearly means that Ye Xiaobai is sneaky, but it actually means that Su Nuan is also sneaky.

Su Nuan choked, but she didn't pay attention to Ye Yin's subtext and said, "Tell me the truth, is there anything else you haven't told me after checking Ye Xiaobai?"

Ye Yin didn't want to say much to Concubine Xia, but from what happened just now, Concubine Xia was beginning to suspect Ye Xiaobai. Now he should tell her everything about Ye Xiaobai. Even if he couldn't find Ye Xiaobai's flaws, he could at least be on guard.

So Ye Yin told Su Nuan that Ye Xiaobai was Fan Liren.

Su Nuan seemed to have thought of something after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Who was the person who took Ye Xiaobai away back then?"

Ye Yin shook his head and replied: "I haven't found out about this."

"Are you sure that Prince Yongping never went to Ye Xiaobai's hometown?"

"No."

Ye Yin said firmly, "It is impossible for Prince Yongping to be there at that time."

"Which time? Was it when Ye Xiaobai's house was burned down or when he was taken away?"

"Of course he left..."

Ye Yin stopped talking here. He only checked what Prince Yongping was doing when Ye Xiaobai was taken away, but he did not check where Prince Yongping was when the accident happened in his family.

"Concubine Xia suspected that Prince Yongping had killed Ye Xiaobai's parents?"

"I'm not sure." Ye Yin replied after hesitating for a moment.

Because there were two years between the misfortune that befell Ye Xiaobai's family and the time when he was taken away, Ye Yin did not connect the two events together.

Concubine Xia suspected that Ye Xiaobai's master was Prince Yongping, so she asked Ye Yin to check Prince Yongping's whereabouts the year Ye Xiaobai was taken away.

But if we take into account the fact that Ye Xiaobai's family were from Fanli, and the fact that the Xun family was falsely accused of colluding with Fanli to rebel, then the death of Ye Xiaobai's parents is worth further investigation.

At this moment, Ye Yin was also regretting why he did not think more when he found out that the death of Ye Xiaobai's parents was not an accident. It was also for this reason that he admired Concubine Xia who raised the question at the first time.

Then there was a hint of pity in Ye Yin's eyes when he looked at Su Nuan. Why would such a smart woman do such a thing?

Su Nuan frowned and looked back at Ye Yin. This man looked at her strangely today. Could it be that he was speaking up for Xun Zheng just like his Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Nuan looked at Ye Yin less kindly. Thinking that she had already found out everything she wanted to know from Ye Yin, Su Nuan flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.

She left so decisively, but Ye Yin was conflicted. He was unsure whether he should tell the Crown Prince about this matter. After the incident of Concubine Xia's secret meeting, he felt that the Crown Prince would not want to hear about Concubine Xia and any man recently. Moreover, he privately felt that no matter how smart a woman was, she could not cause much trouble in the major affairs of the court.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yin decided to put the matter aside for the time being and wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had calmed down before informing him about the matter.

Su Nuan, who had no desire to sleep to begin with, became even more unable to sleep after this incident. After returning to Duiyue Residence, she just lay on the bed thinking about things. She thought about it for most of the night and only fell into a drowsy sleep before dawn.

The next day, the topic of Duiyueju being surrounded by guards was hotly discussed in every corner of the Prince's Mansion.

Everyone thought that the Crown Prince was really angry with Concubine Xia this time, but they overlooked one point. Although the guards surrounded Duiyue Residence, Concubine Xia was still able to enter and leave at will, and even her daily trips out of the palace did not stop.

What happened last night caused quite a stir in Su Nuan's heart, but her face remained calm, as if everything was normal.

Ye Xiaobai was still driving the carriage, and Liefeng was still squatting on the shaft.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, Ye Xiaobai said, "Miss, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the guards to surround Duiyue Residence. Is that true?"

He called Su Nuan "Miss", but their interaction mode was more like that of friends, so he spoke more casually.

Su Nuan didn't care and replied casually: "The whole Prince's Mansion is talking about it, do you still need to ask me?"

"Why? Has the young lady offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently?"

Through a car curtain, Su Nuan rolled her eyes. It might not be a big deal to offend the prince, but it would be a big deal to offend his beloved.

She didn't want to mention the matter of the bracelet, but her first stop today was Duobao Pavilion. After meeting Manager Chen, she naturally couldn't hide the matter of the bracelet, so she just told the story now.

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did that just to stand up for Miss Xun, Ye Xiaobai and Liefeng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Finally, Liefeng said hesitantly: "Your Highness is also doing this for the good of the Queen!"

Su Nuan lifted the curtain and asked Lie Feng: "Where is good?"

"This this......"

Liefeng stuttered and couldn't speak, then he heard Ye Xiaobai say with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is doing this for the future Crown Princess to see."

"What do you mean?" Su Nuan asked Ye Xiaobai.

"Although he ordered the guards to cordon off Duiyueju, he did not restrict the young lady from going out, which shows that the guards were just pretending. Who can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show off to? Only the future Crown Princess.

The young lady set up a trap to get a lot of money from the future Crown Princess. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does nothing, the future Crown Princess will definitely have a rift with the young lady because of this. When she is married into the Crown Prince's Mansion, she will definitely make trouble for the young lady everywhere.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move can be regarded as a relief for the future Crown Princess, but it actually has no impact on you, Miss. This is also for your own good."

After Ye Xiaobai finished speaking, Liefeng quickly agreed: "Yes, that's what I mean."

After hearing this, Su Nuan's only reaction was to retract her hand that was about to lift the car curtain.

If this is for her own good, she would rather Mu Yunting not be nice to her!

The three of them didn't speak for the rest of the journey, and they arrived at Duobao Pavilion quietly.

After getting off the carriage, Su Nuan walked towards the door of Duobao Pavilion and bumped into Shopkeeper Chen who was about to go out.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Chen said in surprise.

Su Nuan casually replied: "I guess something good happened to you, so I came to take a look."

"You came at the perfect time. I was just about to go to the Prince's Mansion to tell you the good news!"

Shopkeeper Chen said as he welcomed Su Nuan into Duobao Pavilion.

Only then did Su Nuan see Song Qi following behind Shopkeeper Chen, and asked him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
