I just want to live a good life

Chapter 485 The Casualty Rate is Too High

When Su Nuan saw Xun Zheng falling to the ground on purpose, she quickly covered her neck and bent over to cough.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mu Yunting's cold voice sounded.

He walked in from outside, first went to Xun Zheng's side, helped her up, and then walked towards Su Nuan.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xia has a misunderstanding of me. It's not her fault."

Xun Zheng said this and gave Mu Yunting a sad smile.

Su Nuan silently gave Xun Zheng a middle finger. Even an Oscar statuette was not enough to show off this woman's explosive acting skills.

"Misunderstanding what the hell, you came up and choked me, so I pushed you away, and you sat on the ground and tried to frame me. Now you're pretending to be pitiful, how can you be so shameless."

Su Nuan said as she loosened her hands, revealing her fair neck, on which five handprints were clearly visible.

This handprint was at least half hers. As soon as Xun Zheng sat down on the ground just now, she understood what this woman was going to do. When she covered her neck, she secretly increased her strength at the place where Xun Zheng had pinched her. Although injuring herself by 800 might not necessarily injure the enemy by 1,000, she absolutely could not let this woman cause any trouble today.

Mu Yunting's eyes were sharp as a knife. He stared at the handprint on Su Nuan's neck, tightened and loosened his fist, repeated this several times, and finally took a deep breath, turned to Xun Zheng, and said coldly: "Why can't you talk about it calmly? You have to use force to make it so ugly."

Su Nuan didn't dare to think that Mu Yunting would stand up for her. She just wanted to prevent Xun Zheng from succeeding. But when she heard Mu Yunting's indifferent words, she still felt a little disappointed.

"It was my fault for fighting with her. I shouldn't have bothered with her. Since I've made His Highness unhappy, I'll just stay out of the way."

After Xun Zheng finished speaking, she turned around and left. Her two steps were as gentle as a willow swaying in the wind, which made people feel pity for her.

After she left, Su Nuan had no place to put her energy. Whether they were arguing or confronting each other here, it was a matter between two people. Now that she was gone, it would not be the same thing if she was the only one talking. What's more, Xun Zheng looked so aggrieved when she left that people would think she was the one being bullied. If Mu Yunting were to blame again in this situation, it would only make him feel disgusted.

So Su Nuan closed her mouth tightly and looked at the door unwillingly, and she was fascinated by it.

According to Xia Qingyan's memory, Xun Zheng appeared at the scene of Cui Shaoyuan's death, and she also talked to Xia Qingyan. So what is her relationship with the person who killed Cui Shaoyuan? Are they in the same group?

It doesn't look like that. Just now when Mu Yunting mentioned reinvestigating Cui Shaoyuan's case, she didn't seem panicked at all. She seemed not afraid of being investigated. If she was in cahoots with the murderer, she shouldn't have that kind of reaction.

But how to explain her presence there?

Just as she was thinking, Su Nuan suddenly felt a chill on her neck. She looked down and saw Mu Yunting applying ointment on her.

"You, don't do this kind of thing again, hurting the enemy by a thousand and yourself by a thousand and a half."

There was no displeasure in his words, nor did they seem to contain any accusation.

"Did you see it?"

Su Nuan asked tentatively.

"The two fingerprints did not overlap, and it seemed that the position of the finger did not change during the strangulation."

Su Nuan choked. Just now she was secretly proud of herself for being able to remain calm in the face of danger and coming up with such a brilliant way to deal with Xun Zheng. In order to make the fingerprints in the same direction, she even considered using her left hand. But who would have thought that there would be a loophole in the position of the fingerprints.

She was a little disappointed. Although she had watched many palace fighting dramas, she was still not as good as Xun Zheng in terms of tactics. In addition, Xun Zheng had the aura of "childhood sweetheart" to protect her, so Su Nuan felt that she had no chance of winning against her.

"Is my casualty rate really that high, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 1,500 of my own?"

Su Nuan asked without giving up.

Mu Yunting replied calmly: "If you calculate carefully, it should be even higher."

Su Nuan touched her neck and didn't feel any pain. Judging from Mu Yunting's casualty rate, what Xun Zheng did today should not have left much of a mark in his mind.

As expected, it has to be Xiaoqingmei, the tolerance rate is high.

"How did you offend her that she would treat you like this?"

Su Nuan didn't know whether she should tell the truth or not, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing she shouldn't say. It was like this anyway, and not telling the truth would make Mu Yunting think too much.

"I just said that she is not worthy of you, she is not worthy of being the Crown Princess, and she got anxious." After saying that, Su Nuan added: "I did push her, but I didn't push her down. She took several steps back before you came in, and the force was almost gone. If you hadn't come in at such a good time, she would definitely not have fallen."

After hearing what she said, Mu Yunting didn't say anything, but just rubbed her bruises gently with the ointment.

After a long while, he finally said, "Just bear with it, it will be fine soon."

Su Nuan wanted to say that it didn’t hurt and it was quite comfortable, but when she thought about the casualty rate, she swallowed her words back.

After that, Mu Yunting never mentioned Xun Zheng again, and Su Nuan was too lazy to mention it either. After applying the ointment and sitting for a while, Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju.

It was still early, and she wanted to go back to the general's mansion to check. If her eldest and third brothers were okay, she wanted to bring Liao Xinyi to the prince's mansion. She had retched in front of Xun Zheng today, and although she had concealed it, she still felt uneasy in her heart, and always felt that it would be safer to bring Liao Xinyi to her side.

If Xun Zheng hadn't caused such a scene, she would have really wanted to bring Mu Yunting with her when she returned to the general's mansion, but when she thought about the cost of injuring one thousand enemies and losing fifteen thousand of her own, she gave up.

Su Nuan got on the carriage and rushed to the general's mansion, and Mu Yunting left the mansion right after him. He was going to the Ministry of Justice. Lord Shen sent someone to deliver a message that there was some progress in the case of the fake silver bills and it was really related to the person he suspected, so he had to go to the Ministry of Justice in person.

The two carriages were heading in two directions, but a person was following one of the carriages stealthily.
