I just want to live a good life

Chapter 211 Leave the door open for him at night

The two people in the room each had their own thoughts.

Ye Yin had already returned to the inn with the person in his arms. He and his men knocked directly on Concubine Xia's door.

As expected, it was his Royal Highness the Crown Prince who opened the door.

I don't know why I would book another room if I already have one, it's a waste of money.

The person who was brought back by Ye Yin had a pale face, a pair of dead fish eyes, and was gasping for breath at this moment.

He looks terribly tired.

"Who asked you to eavesdrop?"

Mu Yunting went straight to the point and didn't even bother to ask the person's name. He just asked about the person behind the scenes.

This is the aura of the future superior.

The man's legs went weak and he was about to kneel down, but Ye Yin was holding him by the collar, so he couldn't kneel any further.

"I, I was just passing by, I didn't eavesdrop."

"Let's find a deserted place to interrogate him. If he doesn't tell the truth, chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

When the cold words came out of Mu Yunting's mouth, even Su Nuan couldn't help but shiver, and she was even more frightened by the man being carried by Ye Yin.

"No, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. It was a young man who asked me to find a way to pass a message to this lady. He asked this lady to leave the door open for him at night."

What?

Could it be that Ying Shu sent someone like that? Isn’t he a very smart and steady person? Why would he send such an idiot to deliver the message?

Su Nuan wanted to chop this man to pieces right now.

She glanced at Mu Yunting. The man's face looked normal, but his eyes were already piercing.

This damn possessiveness, even if you don't like it, you don't allow others to think about it.

"What does that young man look like?"

Mu Yunting asked with a chilling voice, and Ye Yin couldn't help but frown.

"He's so tall..."

The man who was almost frightened to death just now suddenly became excited and used gestures to describe Ying Shu vividly.

After he finished speaking, Mu Yunting asked again: "Did the young master ask you to deliver a message? Did he ask you to reply?"

"No, that young master gave me five taels of silver and asked me to pass on the message."

Su Nuan stared at the man, feeling that something was wrong.

Mu Yunting winked at Ye Yin, and Ye Yin picked up the man and retreated.

There were two more people left in the room.

Su Nuan sat on the chair, feeling a little panicked.

"Does Concubine Xia want to hold the door open for Master Ying?"

This sarcastic question made Su Nuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

Like a whore caught committing adultery.

Bah, how can I be called a whore when I haven’t done anything?

"Stay, why not?"

Mu Yunting supported himself on the back of the chair with his hands, bent down to look Su Nuan in the eye, and slowly uttered the word "Okay".

Their eyes met, and Su Nuan calmly met Mu Yunting's scrutinizing eyes.

"I was afraid you would cheat on me, but I didn't expect it to come true."

"I do not have."

"I asked you to leave the door open, and you still said no."

Su Nuan felt a little aggrieved, but it was useless to say anything at this time. Even if she called Ying Shu and told Mu Yunting in person that he had nothing to do with her, Mu Yunting probably wouldn't believe it.

"What if someone deliberately framed me?"

"I can't imagine who would use Ying Shu to frame you."

"If it was so easy for you to figure it out, her frame-up would be meaningless. When I was being hunted, did you think about who was trying to kill me? When the Dong brothers and sisters were framing me, did you think they were trying to harm me?

You can neither imagine nor deny my innocence."

A mixture of grievance, disappointment, and heartache made her eyes red, but that was all she had.

Su Nuan stubbornly refused to let herself cry in front of him.

But the expression of trying not to cry is more heartbreaking than crying.

Mu Yunting's hands, gripping the back of the chair, were clenched so tightly that veins bulged. He knew that what Xia Qingyan said made sense, but the two had come into contact many times in the imperial city, and Ying Shu had even saved Xia Qingyan's life.

When he thought of Ying Shu bandaging her and applying medicine to her, he felt like he was about to burst with such overwhelming anger.

Restraining his anger, Mu Yunting said coldly: "We'll know whether he's innocent or not tonight."

Su Nuan's heart skipped a beat. Although there was nothing between her and Ying Shu, she had indeed met with Ying Shu secretly.

She said that she was wronged, but she was very afraid that Ying Shu would really come to see her at night.

If I get caught by Mu Yunting, I won’t be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River.

How to do?

Ying Shu is in Xiaomian County.

Su Nuan felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

"Madam, I've bought the osmanthus cake you asked for!"

The soft voice broke the dull atmosphere in the room.

When Leng Yue pushed the door open, Mu Yunting finally let Su Nuan go and turned to leave her room.

"Ma'am, have you finished taking the medicine?"

The medicine bowl on the table was empty, silently answering Leng Yue's question.

Su Nuan stared at Leng Yue intently, thinking in her mind how to get her to help her pass the message to Ying Shu.

"Ma'am, why are you looking at me like that?"

Frightened by Su Nuan's eyes, Leng Yue subconsciously took a step back.

"You came just in time, can you chat with me?"

Su Nuan forced a smile, trying to make herself look kinder.

Leng Yue was a little surprised. She really suspected that this woman had a brain injury. The contrast between her attitude before and after was too great.

"Madam, if you feel bored, Leng Yue is willing to chat with you to relieve your boredom."

"Then sit down and tell me about your experience."

Leng Yue pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I think Madam already knows that I am a member of the Xun family, so I will start from the time when the Xun family got into trouble."

Su Nuan wanted to know if she had any relationship with Ying Shu, so she didn't want to skip the events before the incident at Xun's house.

"Why don't you tell me what happened before the incident at the Xun family? How did you end up being raised outside?"

When this question was raised, Leng Yue's eyes darkened.

"This has to start with my mother's background."

Leng Yue's mother was originally a daughter of an official family. Because the head of the family committed a crime, the women in the family were sent to the Jiaofangsi and became official prostitutes.

By chance, she met Xun Yu, who was the Prince's Grand Tutor at the time. They fell in love at first sight. Xun Yu redeemed Leng Yue's mother and settled her in a farm outside the imperial city.

There was only an old couple in the farm. After Leng Yue's mother was settled in, they told others that she was the old couple's daughter.

Later there was Leng Yue.

Xun Yu wanted to maintain his image of noble character in the eyes of the world, so it was impossible for him to allow Leng Yue and her daughter to enter the Xun family's home. Not only that, he had never been to the farm since Leng Yue was born.

Leng Yue grew up as the granddaughter of the old couple until she was eight years old, when her mother became ill due to depression and never got back to health. She told Leng Yue her true identity before she died.

Later, the old couple passed away one after another, and new people were sent to the village. Xun Yu finally remembered that he had a daughter here.

That year Leng Yue was fourteen years old.

The first time he met his father, the then Prime Minister Xun Yu.

Having said this, Leng Yue stopped.

Su Nuan asked her: "Have you ever hated Xun Yu?"

Leng Yue shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Mother said that if it weren't for him, she would die in the Jiaofangsi, and then there would be no me. I shouldn't have any hatred in my heart."

Su Nuanxin said that it shouldn’t have happened, not that it didn’t happen, so she hated it.
