I just want to live a good life

Chapter 143 Interrogation

"Isn't that the prince's concubine? Why is she sleeping with another man?"

Someone at the door shouted, and everyone who rushed into the room was stunned.

Everyone looked at each other, and some people were already quietly retreating.

The man at the door continued to shout, "We have run into this kind of thing, just wait for bad luck!"

"Your Highness has seen this. Your future brother-in-law is trying to pin the blame on me."

Su Nuan whispered to Mu Yunting beside her.

Mu Yunting's face had turned completely dark.

The man standing at the door and talking was Dong Jingshu's brother Dong Youning.

"I guess Dong Youning wants to remove me as an obstacle for his sister. I just don't know if the gentle and lovely Miss Dong knows about this."

Mu Yunting pursed his lips and said nothing.

Then Dong Youning continued, "What are you still standing there for? Run! The guards of the Crown Prince's Mansion will seal this place off soon, and no one will be able to escape."

After hearing what he said, the people in the room ran out.

Suddenly, a tall figure stopped everyone and said loudly, "His Royal Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to leave."

The person who spoke was a guard from the Prince's Mansion.

Then, a clear voice sounded from behind the guard, "Who slandered me, saying that I slept with a wild man? Your Highness, please make the decision for me!"

Su Nuan said as she took Mu Yunting's arm and walked in front of everyone.

Dong Youning hid in the crowd and didn't dare to look up.

Su Nuan winked at the guards, who pushed through the crowd, pulled Dong Youning out, and brought him in front of Mu Yunting.

"Your Highness, this is the man who slandered Concubine Xia just now."

Mu Yunting walked up to Dong Youning and kicked him to the ground.

"You are so bold that you even dare to slander the Crown Prince's concubine. Come, take him to the Ministry of Justice."

"Your Highness, please spare my life. I dare not slander Concubine Xia. I was wrong just now."

"Oh? The person who could have fooled the son of the Marquis Zhongyuan must be somewhat similar to Concubine Xia. I want to see who this person is."

A moment later, the guards dragged a man and a woman out of the room. The man was only wearing a shirt, while the woman was fully clothed. Both of them had their hands tied behind their backs.

The moment she saw Su Nuan, the woman looked at her with tears in her eyes and choked up as she called out "Miss".

It's Bitao.

Su Nuan wanted to say something to her, but was stopped by Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting asked someone to take the man and Bitao to the Ministry of Justice.

At the same time, he asked Su Nuan if she wanted to go with him.

Of course Su Nuan has to go.

She had already noticed Bitao's betrayal, and today's situation was set up specifically for her.

Last night, when she was too excited to sleep, she saw Bitao contacting the outside world for the second time. This time, it was the outside world who gave Bitao orders.

Originally, Su Nuan didn't know the content of the order. She just brought Bi Tao with her today to provide her with an opportunity. It was not until Bi Tao brought the bowl of sobering soup that she was sure that Bi Tao was going to attack her.

So she became more careful and spit out the hangover soup when Bitao wasn't paying attention.

He picked up a piece of peach cake and sprinkled some sleeping pills on it.

Then he waited for Bitao to fall asleep and moved her to the bed to replace himself.

It was obvious that Bitao was colluding with outsiders and wanted to create a scene where Su Nuan was caught cheating, but Su Nuan just couldn't understand why Bitao would betray her.

When the carriage stopped in front of the criminal department, Su Nuan was still thinking about this question.

After entering the Ministry of Justice prison, Mu Yunting first interrogated the man who slept in the same bed with Bitao.

The man's name is Zhang Xing, and he's a street hooligan.

When facing Mu Yunting, she was so scared that she almost cried.

"You must answer my questions truthfully, otherwise you will never leave here."

"You, if you ask, I will answer truthfully."

"Who let you sleep in that bed today?"

"Yes, it was a man who looked like a servant. He gave me twenty taels of silver and told me to go to Zuixianju to drink, and then go to the lounge on the second floor to sleep. He would give me another fifty taels of silver after the task was completed."

"When did it happen?"

"Today at noon."

"If I asked you to recognize someone, could you recognize him?"

"Yes, yes. That boy is fair and clean-looking, and looks like a woman. He will definitely recognize me at a glance if he sees me again."

Mu Yunting asked someone to take Zhang Xing to identify people, and the scope was the servants of Zuixianju and Zhongyuanhou Mansion.

The next person to be interrogated was Bitao.

Su Nuan asked this question personally, and there was only one question, "Why betray?"

Bitao kept her mouth shut and refused to say anything.

"Have I ever treated you unfairly? Ever since you were sent to me, I have treated you as my own sister. You have always had a share of the delicious food and fun things. Why did you betray me?"

Bitao still refused to speak.

Su Nuan continued, "The monthly salary for a maid in the Prince's Mansion is two taels, which is Lu Zhu's standard. In addition to giving you two taels of monthly salary, I also give you money every few months to go home and visit your grandfather. I don't think I have treated you harshly. Why did you betray me?"

"..."

"If these are not reasons for you to betray me, then I think someone must have given you something that was good enough to impress you. Let me guess what that was.

I have never owed you money, you should not be asking for this, that is, I promised you something, is there something that the other party can do for you, but I can't help you? Did the future Concubine Dong promise you a position as the prince's concubine?"

"No, I have never coveted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Bitao finally responded, but her response also indirectly confirmed Su Nuan's guess, that is, the person who wanted to frame her was Dong Jingshu.

Su Nuan turned her head to look at Mu Yunting, who had a frown on his face and a frighteningly gloomy expression.

"Apart from the position of the Crown Prince's concubine, I really can't think of any other reason for you to betray me. In fact, if you have this idea, you don't have to go to Dong Jingshu. I can also help you, and if I help you, I must be sincere."

"Haha." Bi Tao sneered, "Miss, when did you become so generous? Don't you want to hold everything in your own hands? Whether you like it or not, everything has to revolve around you. Why do you change when you come to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Facing Bitao's provocation, Su Nuan remained calm.

Then I heard Bi Tao continue to say: "Miss, you feel that His Highness has fallen in love with you, and you feel tired of it, right?"

"Why do you say that?" Su Nuan asked pretending to be calm.

"Miss, isn't that what you always do? No matter if you like someone or not, you have to get them first. Once you get them, you get tired of them and forget about them."

Su Nuan was a little confused. The original owner was a little unreliable, but she had never had any casual relationships with anyone!

She secretly glanced at Mu Yunting beside her, and the man's face had turned dark at this moment.

Su Nuan pretended to be calm and said, "Don't think His Highness will believe you if you slander me a few times."
