I just want to live a good life

Chapter 382 Eat inside and outside

"That Fanli envoy is really still alive! But why didn't the prince do anything? Did he discover something?"

"That person was seriously injured. Could it be that he didn't have a chance to speak yet?"

"It's not impossible. But no matter what, that person can't stay."

"But our people can't find that person's hiding place."

"Since he was seriously injured, he must be treated. Keep an eye on Yao Tai and Liao Xinyi. Once something happens this time, the prince will definitely not let Liao Xinyi go back to Xiaomian County easily.

The prince is not in the palace today, he is probably going to meet Liao Xinyi."

"Maybe the prince went to the other courtyard. Someone saw Concubine Xia's carriage go to the prince's other courtyard today.

"It's Xia Qingyan again!"

With a bang, a teacup was smashed to pieces.

"Waste, all waste. They didn't use such a good opportunity and let her come back alive."

"Miss, what should we do now? Should we continue to assassinate her?"

"Idiot, she's in the Imperial City, where are you going to do it?" Xun Zheng said, then hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "What has Ying Shu been doing recently?"

"Young Master has been staying in South City recently and has not made any moves."

"He's a traitor. He actually dared to resist me for Xia Qingyan. I told him some information and told him that I was going to take action against Xia Qingyan. If he doesn't listen to me, I'll ask him to do me a favor. Anyway, I can't support him for all these years in vain."

"Miss, are you not going to announce the identity of the young master? Now you are the only one in the Xun family. When you marry into the prince's mansion, you won't even have anyone to help you. It would be better to take the young master into the mansion. In the future, the young master will be in charge of the Xun family and can also be your helper."

"Do you think I don't want to? I can't do anything alone. The reason why the Emperor and Empress agreed to let an orphan like me marry the Crown Prince as his principal wife was because of the guilt in their hearts. But what's the use of guilt? If you don't use it well, it will make people hate me. But even if Ying Shu comes back, it's useless. He has no fame and is just an ordinary citizen. If I really encounter any problems, he can't help me."

"But, you are the master's blood after all..."

"If I can't hold the position of Crown Princess, his bloodline is useless. Okay, you're so nagging me when I ask you to do something. Have you forgotten what my father told me before he died?"

"I dare not. Your Excellency has been very kind to me. If you tell me to listen to you, I will listen to you."

"Please have someone keep an eye on the renovation of the old house. Just do the superficial work. I have other uses for the money."

"But once the old house is renovated, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely come to check it out. If he finds out that we are just doing it perfunctorily, will he..."

“Don’t worry, I’m an orphan girl and I have so many places to bribe with money. If he brings up this matter, I can take this opportunity to take over the power of the Prince’s Mansion.

Uncle Yue, please help persuade Ying Shu to hand over the shops he has. Now is the critical period for planning big things, and we need money."

"Young Master... I will try my best to persuade him. If the young lady has no other instructions, I will leave first. Concubine Xia and her maid have seen me. I am afraid that if I stay too long, they will bump into me."

"I'll have someone send you out. Next time you need help, ask me to send a letter. I'll meet you at the old house."

After Xun Zheng finished speaking, she called Lily over.

"Send him out of the house and try to avoid being seen."

Lily glanced at the old man in front of her who was dressed in rustic and shabby clothes, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

I haven't even become a princess yet, but already my poor relatives are asking for money. Don't I have to avoid them?

"Come with me."

Lily led the way, trying to take the smaller paths.

"Baozhu, you have taken good care of this plum blossom. It smells so good. The concubine will definitely like it if you put it in the house."

Meixiang said happily while holding a bouquet of plum blossoms.

"There are so many that the concubine's room can't use them all. Each of us can put one in our room. Especially your room, plum fragrance, plum fragrance, it's so suitable for the scene."

Baozhu responded with a smile.

Suddenly, two figures in the distance attracted Baozhu's attention. She stopped and looked at them.

"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

Meixiang asked.

"I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before."

"Isn't that the maid the Queen gave to Miss Xun? You see her every day."

"I'm talking about the guy behind her."

"He doesn't look like a servant in our house. Is he a new servant bought by the Xun family? But he is too old."

"Why do I think she looks familiar?"

Baozhu muttered quietly.

"You can find people like this everywhere, they just might look like someone you know.

Stop looking, let's go quickly, before the flowers get frozen."

Meixiang said this as she pulled Baozhu away.

Baozhu felt that what Meixiang said made sense, so she stopped worrying about whether the man looked familiar and replied with a smile, "How can plum blossoms be so delicate?"

There are plum blossoms in the Prince's Mansion, but there is nothing in the villa. After Su Nuan talked with Liao Xinyi, she has been thinking about a question: if there was another mastermind behind the treason case back then, would that person be Prince Yongping?

Could it be that Xia Qingyan and Cui Shaoyuan are determined to stop Xia Qingyao from being with Mu Yunshu because they have discovered evidence of Prince Yongping's rebellion?

That letter!

Su Nuan thought about it and felt that the letter was still the key.

Unfortunately, no one knows who the letter has fallen into.

The clue ends here.

No, there are clues.

As soon as I got the letter, Zhao Zong attacked me. The master behind him must have been going for the letter.

Although Zhao Zong has disappeared, Xiaobai is still there!

Yes, start from a beginner.

As long as it is proven that Xiaobai has a relationship with Prince Yongping, even if it is not the most direct relationship, Prince Yongping will be the biggest suspect.

The easiest way to prove the relationship between the two is to check whether Prince Yongping had visited Xiaobai's hometown ten years ago.

It may be difficult to trace other people’s whereabouts ten years ago, but it is certainly possible to trace Prince Yongping’s whereabouts.

But who should investigate this matter?

Su Nuan first ruled out the people from the Prince's Mansion, and the only people she could use were Xiaobai, Chu Qi, Su Qingmo, and Song Qi.

Xiaobai can't do it. It's better to ask him directly than to ask him to check the previous owner.

Although Chu Qi is highly skilled in martial arts, he has a simple mind. Asking him to investigate Prince Yongping might easily alert the enemy.

Su Qingmo is not good at this, so only Song Qi can be used.

However, Su Nuan did not intend to let Song Qi investigate the matter because of the disparity in their status and it would be difficult for Song Qi to investigate many things.

And the most important thing is that the Yongping Palace and the Xia family are related by marriage. If there is any problem with the Yongping Prince, the first to suffer will be the Xia family.

So she planned to let her third brother investigate Prince Yongping.

Of course, this must be done in secret until a conclusion is reached.

Su Nuan was about to go look for her third brother, but just as she stepped out of the door, she was blocked by Mu Yunting.

"excuse me."

Just one sentence made Mu Yunting's face darken.

"Where are you going?"

"Go find the third brother."

"Then let's go together."

"I have something important to discuss with my third brother."

“I have something to do with him, too.
