I just want to live a good life

Chapter 215: Cruise on the Lake (3)

The street was crowded with people, so Falcon chose the road with the least people, and even though he walked and stopped many times, it took him an hour to reach the lake.

The lakeside is just as lively as the street.

It can be said that the lakeside is the climax of the lantern festival.

Cruise ships were swaying on the lake, and the sound of music floated out from the largest and brightest ship on the lake.

Even from a distance, Su Nuan could see dancers dancing on the big ship.

"Isn't that the county governor's flower boat?"

"That boat is a flower boat, but it doesn't belong to the county magistrate. There is only this flower boat on the lake tonight, and those who can get on it are people who can shake Xiaomian County with just a stomp of their feet."

The person who answered Su Nuan's question was a young man. He was tall and slender, with outstanding looks and extraordinary bearing, but the clothes he wore were made of ordinary cotton.

Having been the head shopkeeper for such a long time, Su Nuan had seen many dignitaries on Hengsi Street and many ordinary people on Zhusheng Street. At first glance, she determined that this man was an ambitious young man from an ordinary family, and maybe even a scholar or something.

In short, he is the kind of person who can roar when he sees injustice, and then grit his teeth and take a beating without bowing his head.

Just like Ying Shu who was beaten in the street.

Why did you think of him!

How could I forget him!

Oh, it was all because of the flower boat. I was so happy that I forgot about this ancestor. I don’t know if he will come to find me tonight. It would be ok if he goes and finds nothing. I’m afraid of being seen. Then I won’t be able to explain myself even if I have a mouth.

Suddenly the flower boat doesn’t smell good anymore!

"Are you a local, sir?" Su Nuan asked.

"Exactly."

"I heard that the Lantern Festival in Xiaomian County is to celebrate the birthday of the county governor's mother. Is that true?"

"That's right. This Lantern Festival was originally organized by the people to thank the county magistrate for his dedication to Xiaomian County, but someone chose to hold it on the birthday of the county magistrate's mother."

"Oh? Why is that?"

The person who asked the questions this time was Mu Yunting.

"Why? Isn't it obvious? It's flattery! The higher the praise, the more ruthless the killing move. How can a mere fourth-rank county governor have the qualifications to ask the people of the county to celebrate his mother's birthday? The old lady doesn't even have an imperial decree, how can she deserve the people of the county to celebrate her birthday?"

"You mean someone is doing something bad to the county magistrate?"

"I didn't say that."

"What's your surname, sir?"

"My last name is Mei."

"I heard that the governor of Xiaomian County is also surnamed Mei. How is he related to Mr. Mei?"

Mu Yunting's voice was calm, but it contained an indescribable majesty.

Su Nuan looked over subconsciously, and the man's face returned to his usual aloof and cold look, not at all approachable.

Sure enough, Mr. Mei on the opposite side was stunned by the shock.

"I am Mei Runian, the son of Mei Changli."

Su Nuan thought that Mei Changli should be the county magistrate he mentioned, which means that the man in front of him is not only not a child of an ordinary family but also the son of an official. It is hard to tell, he is hiding it very well.

Mu Yunting just said "Oh" faintly, as if he knew Mei Runian's identity, and said nothing more.

Soon, a large ship appeared in front of Su Nuan. Although this ship was not as big as the decorated ship in the middle of the lake, Su Nuan was already very satisfied with it.

"Master, is this the boat we are going to take tonight?"

Mu Yunting nodded slightly.

Su Nuan no longer cared about Lord Mei or Master Mei, and urged Leng Yue to help her get on the boat.

Seeing her jumping on one leg on the ground, Mu Yunting glanced at the falcon following behind her with displeasure.

Falcon's heart trembled, and he thought, why is Your Highness looking at me? I don't want to help Concubine Xia, I dare not.

Seeing that Falcon didn't understand his intention, he had no choice but to quickly step forward and pick him up, then turned around and asked Mei Runian: "Mr. Mei, are you willing to go on the boat with us?"

This was a question, but to others it sounded like he was asking Mei Runian to get on board too.

Mei Runian didn't understand, but Falcon and the secret guards around him did. They stood silently behind Mei Runian, blocking her way.

"Since you have a beautiful lady by your side, I will not disturb you."

I turned around to leave, but the road was blocked.

"Excuse me, please make way."

The falcon didn't move.

"My brave man, please make way for me."

"My master invites you to come aboard."

"what?"

What? This is a blatant robbery. If he doesn't know what's good for him, the burly man in front of him will definitely punch him in the next moment.

He now really regretted that he had spoken too quickly and said a few meaningless words to a stranger.

I don’t know where these people come from and whether they are dangerous.

Forget it. I am the son of a county magistrate. I don’t think they would dare to do anything to me.

After making up his mind, Mei Runian stopped talking nonsense with Falcon and turned around to get on the boat.

The ship may not look gorgeous from the outside, but it is magnificent and elegant inside.

Su Nuan was placed on the couch. Next to the couch was a small square table with all kinds of food and drinks on it.

I picked up a piece of melon and took a bite.

So sweet!

He raised his hand and stuffed a piece of food into Mu Yunting's mouth. After he finished stuffing it in, he realized that he would naturally want to share the delicious food with this person.

Mu Yunting's mouth was filled with honeydew melon, and his cold and arrogant image collapsed instantly. The tenderness in his eyes melted away bit by bit, wrapping the person in front of him like honey.

The two of them were looking at each other, and Mei Runian got on the boat trembling. He was more afraid of the cold-faced man than the fierce man outside.

As a result, as soon as I entered the cabin, I saw the man eating a honeydew melon and looking at the lame woman tenderly. This look was even more frightening. Fortunately, the man did not have such a look when he spoke just now, otherwise I would not be able to say a word.

Cough, cough, someone coughed lightly. Mu Yunting straightened his expression and turned to look at Mei Runian.

This kid came at the wrong time. She regretted inviting him on board. The look in her eyes when she looked at Mei Runian became even colder.

"Mr. Mei, please take a seat."

Mei Runian sat down nervously, and he had some guesses about the identity of the man in front of him. This man had an imposing aura, like someone in a high position, but he looked very young, and he didn't know if he was the person he was thinking of.

"Mei, I would like to ask, what is your name?"

"Bold."

Falcon stepped forward and scolded Mei Runian.

Su Nuan curled her lips and pretended to be serious. She had invited people on board, but now she was pretending to scare them. Why bother?

A look that said "you're pretending to be so good" was cast at Falcon.

Falcon felt awkward when he received Su Nuan's gaze. It was not the first time that he had done something like defending the dignity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why did it feel so awkward to do it in front of Concubine Xia?

Mei Runian was startled by the falcon, but he quickly regained his composure. "Since you do not want to reveal your identity, I dare not ask any more questions. Please let me go."

Mu Yunting spoke slowly: "Half a month ago, a memorial was sent from Xiaomian County to impeach the county governor Mei Changli. What do you think, Mr. Mei?"

Mei Runian's expression was stern. "Impeaching a county governor is a matter that the emperor has to decide. I, a commoner, dare not make any rash comments."

"If you don't dare to make irresponsible remarks, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to me and said such things. Mr. Mei, you are not honest in wanting both."

The person who spoke was Su Nuan, and after she finished speaking, Mei Runian blushed.

Su Nuan didn't care that scholars were thin-skinned. After she finished talking to him, she smiled sweetly at Mu Yunting and said, "I want to go to the deck to take a look. Can Leng Yue accompany me?"

It seemed like he was asking for opinions, but actually he wanted to leave the cabin for her to talk. How could Mu Yunting not understand the intentions of the people around her? The eyes he looked at her became more gentle.

"Go ahead and take care of the wound on your leg."

Su Nuan waved to Leng Yue, who quickly stepped forward to support her. Su Nuan stuffed a piece of honeydew melon into her hand and grinned at her, "Eat it, it's sweet."

She is most adept at using other people's things as favors!
