Chapter 237 Handsome Man Plus 1
Chapter 237 Handsome Man Plus 1
"how is he?"
Mu Yunting asked Tracer.
"His life has been saved for now, but he is still unconscious and cannot be questioned."
"Have you found out the identity of the assassin?"
"There are some clues."
Tracer answered and pulled out a token with a tiger engraved on it.
After taking the token, Mu Yunting recognized it as the symbol of Prince Guang'an at a glance. He stroked the lifelike tiger with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Mu Yunting put away the token and said to Tracer, "Pretend that the man is dead and secretly send him back to the Imperial City to ask Yao Tai to treat him. No matter what, I want this man to be able to speak."
"Yes."
Tracer took the order and went down to do the work, and Mu Yunting's gaze followed his back further and further away.
At the same time, a rare guest came to the villa.
Miss Yu came to visit.
Su Nuan came to see her in a wheelchair.
As soon as they met, Miss Yu had her maid bring a tray of jewelry.
Su Nuan fell in love with one of the pair of gold and jade bracelets at first sight.
This pair of bracelets is not very precious, but they are exquisite in style. Su Nuan can tell at a glance that they were made by the same craftsman as the jade hairpin she bought.
"What does Miss Yu mean?"
Su Nuan asked with a smile.
"Concubine Xia, why are you asking when you already know the answer? My father heard that Concubine Xia was interested in jewelry, so he sent people to find the best craftsmen in Xiaomian County. These jewelry are all made by the craftsmen. Concubine Xia, you can choose whatever you like. Dad will send that craftsman to you."
Yu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes after he finished speaking, expressing his disdain for his father's blatant fawning.
Su Nuan didn't care what Miss Yu thought. How could she refuse a good thing that was delivered to her door? She raised her hand and asked Haitang to bring the tray closer to her. She looked at each piece of jewelry carefully. After choosing for a long time, she still liked the pair of gold and jade bracelets.
"I won't refuse Master Yu's kindness. This pair of bracelets is very much to my liking. Let's go with this craftsman."
Yu Zhiqiu curled his lips and signaled the servant to go back and pass on the message.
Su Nuan couldn't give up such a good opportunity easily. She looked at the jewelry in the tray carefully over and over again, and finally determined that only the pair of gold and jade bracelets inlaid with craftsmanship satisfied her the most. Only then did she put down the tray with regret.
At this moment, someone came to ask for a meeting.
The person who came turned out to be the county magistrate's wife, and she was accompanied by Mei Runian.
"Your Highness greets His Majesty the Concubine."
"Mrs. Mei, please stand up."
Su Nuan was quite curious. She had no connection with the county magistrate's wife, so why did she come to see her?
So he waited for everyone to sit down and said, "I wonder why Madam Mei came here today?"
"I heard that the concubine was in Xiaomian County and wanted to come and see her for a long time, but my master said that the Crown Prince and the concubine came incognito and did not want others to know their identities, so he did not allow me to come. But today, the Crown Prince has revealed his identity, so I came here uninvited."
Madam Mei looked around and said, "This house is in a remote location, and it's not convenient to go out. If the concubine thinks it's worth it, why don't you move to the county governor's mansion with His Highness?"
"Madam Mei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Concubine are honored guests of our Yu family. How could they move to the County Magistrate's Mansion just because of a word from you!" Yu Zhiqiu said in a bad tone.
"This is Miss Yu, right?"
Mrs. May asked with a smile.
Su Nuan had sharp eyes and could see that Mrs. Mei looked at Yu Zhiqiu with eagerness.
Looking at Mei Runian who was standing behind her, she was looking at Yu Zhiqiu with a perverted look on her face.
Su Nuan suddenly knew why the mother and son had suddenly visited.
Then Madam Mei continued, "Today, my master is hosting a banquet at the County Magistrate's Mansion to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Concubine. I think Master Yu will also be there. Since Miss Yu is so familiar with the Concubine, why not come along and chat with her?"
"I don't need to. I'm not very familiar with the Concubine."
Mrs. Mei's face froze. Most people would have agreed to what she said, but how could Miss Yu be so ignorant? She turned around and glanced at her son unconsciously.
Mei Runian said hurriedly, "All the guests attending the banquet today have brought their families with them. They are all ladies from aristocratic families. Miss Yu must be familiar with some of them."
Yu Zhiqiu didn't even think about it and replied directly: "I'm not familiar with them either."
Su Nuan curled the corners of her lips unconsciously. This Miss Yu was really unique and likable. No wonder Mr. Mei had never taken his eyes off her since he came in.
It’s a pity that the flower has feelings but the water is heartless. I might as well be a good person for once and let him see the reality.
"I wonder if Prince Yongping has been invited to today's banquet?"
Mei Runian clasped her fists and replied, "Your Highness, I have invited you."
Su Nuan glanced at Yu Zhiqiu out of the corner of her eye, and sure enough, her eyes lit up when she heard the words Prince Yongping.
"If my cousin goes, then I will go too."
As soon as Yu Zhiqiu finished speaking, the expressions of both the mother and son of the Mei family froze.
Miss Yu’s feelings for Prince Yongping are too obvious.
Mrs. Mei smiled awkwardly, changed the subject and chatted with Su Nuan for a while.
As they were talking, Liefeng came to pick up Su Nuan to meet Mu Yunting.
When Su Nuan arrived at the County Magistrate's Mansion, many people had already arrived and were talking to Mu Yunting.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention. Her appearance was secondary. Everyone's attention was focused on the wheelchair she was sitting in.
Although this thing is not common, those who came to the banquet were all rich and powerful people in Xiaomian County, and they all had a lot of knowledge.
"Why is he a cripple?"
"Can this catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Sister Zhou, I think you are much better than this Concubine Xia. If you behave well, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ask Lord Zhou to marry you."
"..."
Su Nuan turned her head slightly to glance at the "Sister Zhou". She was a beauty, delicate and pretty, and the same type of beauty as Dong Jingshu.
She is sometimes very distressed. Having too sensitive ears is not a good thing.
Before she gave her heart and soul to him, she didn't care about others coveting Mu Yunting. But now when she heard such words, she felt like her baby was being coveted, which was very bad.
Su Nuan was shorter than others sitting in a wheelchair, but Mu Yunting still saw her in the crowd at a glance.
He pushed through the crowd and walked quickly towards Su Nuan.
Then, he picked up Su Nuan in front of everyone's gaze.
This kind of drama has been played out many times between the two of them, and they have long been accustomed to it, but most of the guests present today are seeing it for the first time.
So exclamations of surprise followed one after another, and everyone looked at Su Nuan with eager eyes.
The seats were arranged according to seniority. Mu Yunting sat in the main seat, so Su Nuan naturally had to sit with him.
Su Nuan thought that the person sitting below them should be the Prince of Yongping, but unexpectedly it was a man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old.
This man was handsome, and his facial features were even more delicate than Mu Yunshu's. As soon as Su Nuan sat down, her eyes were drawn to him.
Mu Yunting felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
