I just want to live a good life

Chapter 453 The Use of 3

When Ying Shu asked this question, he looked at Su Nuan expectantly.

But Su Nuan did not answer his question immediately. As time passed, Ying Shu's expectations gradually faded. Just when he laughed at himself and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, Su Nuan spoke.

"Although I don't want to leave now, I never know when I will want to leave."

These words didn't mean much to Ying Shu, but they were better than rejecting him outright.

After a pause, Su Nuan continued, "It's just that it won't be a simple matter for me to leave the Prince's Mansion. It will implicate many people. I don't want to implicate others, including you, because of myself."

Have you really thought about leaving?

Ying Shu opened his eyes wide, looked at Su Nuan, and asked, "So, you really want to leave him, right?"

This "he" should refer to Mu Yunting, Su Nuan nodded.

Ying Shu continued, "Don't worry, I will help you and will not implicate anyone."

"Aren't you afraid?" Su Nuan asked again.

"I'm a person who doesn't even exist. What do I have to be afraid of? It's just..." Ying Shu said cheerfully.

At this he frowned slightly.

Su Nuan noticed it keenly and couldn't help asking him, "Just what?"

"Nothing." Ying Shu smiled bitterly, "I'm just worried about my mother. She has disappeared since I was adopted by the Xun family. He said he gave my mother a large sum of money and asked her to live in a new place with a new identity. I have been looking for her everywhere for these years but there is no news about her. Maybe she is no longer in Nanzhao Country."

Seeing his lonely look, Su Nuan couldn't help it anymore and said, "Have you ever thought that Aunt Ying is no longer in this world?"

Ying Shu was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "I have thought about it. Mother is not a cruel person. She shouldn't have abandoned me and never come to see me. But I dare not think that she is no longer here. If I think about it, there will be no hope."

Su Nuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth again. Her mother was no longer around, which was cruel enough for Ying Shu. If she told him that his mother was killed by someone ordered by his father, she couldn't imagine what Ying Shu would do.

The two were silent for a while, and Ying Shu spoke again, "Don't worry, I am sure I can take you away."

Su Nuan thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you help me leave?"

"I......"

Ying Shu was speechless.

Su Nuan looked at him and said in a very serious and affirmative tone: "If I leave the Imperial City, I will have my own place to go and my own life to live. I will no longer depend on anyone. After I leave, I will be a completely free man. If you help me leave, I can pay you. You can set the price. But if you need other conditions or have a purpose for helping me leave, then I would rather find another way."

It's better to make some things clear first, so as not to give others hopeless hope.

After saying this, Ying Shu's eyes darkened, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I will take you away without asking anything of you. You are free, and after you leave here, you can go wherever you want and live whatever life you want. As for the reward, I think you have already given it to me, thirty thousand taels is enough."

The thirty thousand taels must be the thirty thousand taels taken away by Fusheng.

Ying Shu really knew about the 30,000 taels, but he accepted it with a clear conscience.

Su Nuan was a little angry, but she still wanted to ask, "Can you tell me what the thirty thousand taels are for?"

Ying Shu smiled bitterly and replied, "Don't you already know that?"

That was taken by Xun Zheng to renovate the old house of the Xun family.

I cursed in my heart.

She originally felt guilty for taking advantage of Ying Shu's feelings for the original owner, but now this guilt has disappeared because of the 30,000 taels that Xun Zheng spent.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside. Su Nuan was startled and quickly said to Ying Shu, "Someone is coming. I'll go out and hold him back first."

She guessed that the person who came was Liefeng, because she hadn't seen her go in and out to check on the situation for a long time.

As for Liefeng, just go out and take him away with you.

Su Nuan said as she walked out.

Ying Shu said to her back: "Come find me when you decide to leave."

This reminded Su Nuan that Ying Shu was always elusive, so where could she find him? So Su Nuan turned around and asked, "Where can I find you?"

Ying Shu replied without hesitation: "Let's just come here."

"here?"

"Yes, I'll know when you come."

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Su Nuan said nothing more and pushed the door open and walked out.

The person who came was Liefeng.

It was pretty much as Su Nuan guessed. Liefeng hadn't seen her for a long time and was afraid that something might have happened to her, so he came in to check. Now that he saw that she was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

"Have you completed the task assigned to you?"

Su Nuan asked knowingly.

Liefeng lowered his head and whispered, "Please punish me, Madam. I will send you back to the palace and do the job you asked me to do."

After all, it was for her own safety. How could she really punish Lie Feng? Su Nuan sighed and said, "Let's go back home."

"My lady..."

When Su Nuan got on the carriage, Liefeng called her.

"Ok?"

Liefeng subconsciously glanced at the alley not far away, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Nuan asked.

"Nothing, I will take you back right away."

Liefeng thought that he might be dazzled and saw it wrong. It would be better not to tell the concubine about something he was uncertain about.

As Liefeng himself said, after sending Su Nuan safely back to the Prince's Mansion, he went to Xun Lieying. This trip took most of the day, and it was already evening when he returned.

As soon as he came back, he was brought before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In the study, Mu Yunting sat behind the desk with a gloomy face.

Ye Yin is here too.

Liefeng didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called him here. After paying his respects, he stood there with his head bowed, waiting for His Royal Highness's orders.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak, and Liefeng couldn't help but look up.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was frowning at him, Liefeng's heart skipped a beat and he tried hard to think about whether he had done anything wrong recently.

But I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I thought.

Just when Liefeng was hesitating whether to kneel down and admit his mistake first, Yeyin spoke.

"Your Highness, if you don't want to ask in person, why not let your subordinate ask."

Mu Yunting raised his hand to stop Ye Yin.

But he still didn't speak.

However, Liefeng felt relieved after hearing Ye Yin's words. It was obvious that the Crown Prince had something to ask him, but he didn't know why he didn't ask it.

Questions that are difficult to ask are definitely difficult to answer. Liefeng guessed that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to ask was most likely related to Concubine Xia.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him and Falcon to Concubine Xia, he had said that they would only obey Concubine Xia and no one else had the right to order them around, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.

Therefore, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked about things that Concubine Xia didn't want others to know, Liefeng would not answer, as this would easily anger His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. So Liefeng prayed that if the questions involved Concubine Xia, these two people would never ask.
