I just want to live a good life

Chapter 201: Did it really only cost 2 silver coins?

This is probably the difference between the real thing and the fake!

If it was Xun Zheng herself that Mu Yunting brought back to the inn tonight, he would definitely not be willing to let Xun Zheng live with outsiders.

Things are getting more and more bizarre. Su Nuan doesn't know what Xun Zheng's purpose is. She would rather send a fake to Mu Yunting than come out to meet him in person. Is there some compelling reason?

But what could be her reason?

In terms of age, she is the same age as Mu Yunting and should be twenty-four years old now.

In this era, women of this age are indeed not young. If a baby is born successfully, the baby should be six or seven years old.

But this is not a problem for her. Although she is old, her appearance has not aged.

Although Su Nuan had never seen her at the age of sixteen, she felt that a woman at the age of twenty-four was at a mature and beautiful age, and had more charm than a young girl.

What's more, Mu Yunting loves her so much and thinks about her all the time. Wasn't this fully proved on the day Dong Jingshu married into the Prince's Mansion?

"Go to sleep. We have to travel early tomorrow morning."

Mu Yunting did not answer Su Nuan's question, but urged her to go to bed.

Su Nuan didn't feel sleepy at all.

How should I put it? This night was more exciting than thrilling.

It would be really exciting if Xun Zheng could show up today.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I redeemed Leng Yue?"

Lying on the bed, Mu Yunting suddenly asked this question.

Su Nuan was stunned by the question. The first time she saw Leng Yue, she realized that she looked like Xun Zheng, so she naturally took this as the reason why Mu Yunting redeemed her.

But she had never told Mu Yunting that she had met Xun Zheng, so she couldn't answer like that.

After thinking for a moment, Su Nuan asked in a tentative tone: "Because she is beautiful?"

Mu Yunting seemed disappointed with this answer. He stretched out his long arms and embraced Su Nuan in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Leng Yue is the daughter that the teacher left behind. The teacher has done me a favor. I can't just watch his daughter fall to this point and leave her alone."

The teacher that Mu Yunting mentioned was naturally Xun Yu.

To put it nicely, Leng Yue is his abandoned daughter, to put it bluntly, she is the child he had outside.

Su Nuan's impression of this Lord Xun was greatly reduced. "Since she is Lord Xun's daughter, how come she was not implicated when the Xun family got into trouble?"

"She was not taken back to the Xun family and was kept outside. Because of this, she was able to escape the disaster when the Xun family got into trouble."

"Then what proof does she have that she is Lord Xun's daughter?"

Mu Yunting's arms froze, and after a while he finally said, "No."

Su Nuan couldn't believe her ears. This man actually believed that Leng Yue was Xun Yu's illegitimate daughter just because Leng Yue looked similar to Xun Zheng. This was too outrageous.

Just as he was about to teach Mu Yunting a lesson, he heard Mu Yunting continue, "There's no need for her to lie. I said that after I redeem her, I will find her a place to stay and I won't let her stay with me."

Su Nuan wanted to say that you are too naive, young man. Since someone has been pestering you, how could you easily get rid of him? But she didn't say it out loud.

Since Mu Yunting knew that he couldn't keep Leng Yue by his side, he was not blinded by love.

In this case, it doesn't matter even if Leng Yue is left behind. A fake is just a fake and can never replace Xun Zheng's position in Mu Yunting's heart.

However, she had a question at the moment. Leng Yue led Mu Yunting to Wanjin Building in the name of Xun Zheng, so how did she explain the relationship between her and Xun Zheng?

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about how Miss Leng Yue knew our whereabouts, and how she thought of using Miss Xun to lure you into Wanjin Tower?"

"She has a loyal servant of the Xun family by her side. He knows that I am investigating Cheng Ji and overturning the case for the Xun family, so he has been paying attention to the movements of the Prince's Mansion. Our whereabouts were passed on to her by that loyal servant.

Before the incident at Xun's house, A Zheng had met Leng Yue, and the two sisters recognized each other. A Zheng revealed my relationship with her to Leng Yue, so she thought of using her sister's name to lure me to Wanjin Tower. "

Su Nuan found a comfortable position in Mu Yunting's arms and began to ponder what Mu Yunting said.

If Leng Yue was really Xun Yu's daughter and Xun Zheng's sister, then there would be nothing wrong with saying that, but she didn't believe a word of it.

However, she had no evidence to prove that Leng Yue was lying, so she just assumed that what she said was true.

In any case, her purpose of meeting Mu Yunting and asking him to redeem her has been achieved. Let's just wait and see what happens next.

"By the way, have you met the female guest who shares a room with Miss Leng Yue? Is she reliable?"

Su Nuan asked this because she suspected that the person living in that room was Xun Zheng.

"Yes, she is an old woman traveling alone. She is not in danger."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Su Nuan's mind became more and more relaxed, and finally she fell asleep in Mu Yunting's warm arms.

The next morning, Su Nuan woke up very early, but when she opened her eyes, Mu Yunting was no longer in the room.

She quickly tidied herself and walked out of the guest room.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Leng Yue.

As soon as they met, Leng Yue knelt down in front of Su Nuan with a plop, looking pitiful.

It was still early and there were not many people walking around in the inn, but Leng Yue's actions still attracted other people's attention.

"Madam, please, let me stay with you, Master. I am willing to be your slave or maid, as long as you don't drive me away."

"What's going on this early in the morning?"

Su Nuan glanced at Leng Yue with disdain.

"Madam, I must repay the young master's kindness, please help me."

Su Nuan had a cold face, and her voice was icy as soon as she spoke, "What favor? The favor of redeeming you?"

Leng Yue bit her lower lip and nodded, looking humiliated.

There were already guests talking nearby.

"Isn't this Leng Yue, the courtesan of Wanjin Tower? Someone actually bought her freedom. I was wondering why I didn't see her when I went to Wanjin Tower last night."

"You're talking as if you could see her even if she hadn't redeemed herself. That's Leng Yue, and it would cost a lot of money to see her once."

"It costs a lot of money to see her once. How much do you think it would cost to redeem her?"

The people who were talking all looked at Su Nuan at the same time, their eyes were as if they were looking at a fat sheep.

Su Nuan didn't want to arouse these people's greed, so she said quietly: "Miss Leng Yue doesn't need to be so grateful for the ten taels of silver."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around widened their eyes, and even Leng Yue looked at Su Nuan in disbelief.

"Why, why is it ten taels?"

"Of course not. The madam said that you have earned a lot of money for her. Now that you are old and have no place to go, she saw that you really like my husband, so she wanted to help you and only took ten taels of silver from me."

Leng Yue: ...

Everyone:......

Mu Yunting, who happened to go upstairs and heard this, turned around and asked Ye Yin: "Did you really only spend ten taels of silver?"

Ye Yin's mouth twitched and he nodded silently.
