I just want to live a good life

Chapter 452 Are You Willing to Leave with Me?

Su Nuan didn't get a response, so she walked around the room, and after making sure that there was no one in the room, she found a clean chair and sat down.

The silence in the room made people feel uneasy. Su Nuan stared at the door, her mood turning from uneasiness to anxiety.

Although Liefeng did not come in with her, if she stayed in the room alone for too long, Liefeng might come in to check on her.

Time passed slowly, and when Su Nuan had exhausted all her patience and was about to get up and leave, a familiar voice rang out, "Qing Yan!"

Su Nuan looked back and saw Ying Shu appear in the bedroom. She suddenly remembered that there was a window in the bedroom and Ying Shu had entered and exited from there before.

But the word "Qing Yan" made Su Nuan feel a little awkward.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't let your guards see me. It took some time to get around him."

After not seeing each other for many days, Ying Shu has not changed much. He still looks like a weak scholar, but there seems to be a lot more sadness between his brows.

Su Nuan didn't quite understand. He was the concubine's son raised outside by Xun Yu, and was brought back to the Xun family to be raised as a child. He was the real young master of the Xun family. But after the Xun family overturned the case, Xun Zheng, who was supposed to be dead, returned to the Xun family. Why did he still have to hide his identity?

She had a question in her mind, so she asked, "Why don't you go back to the Xun family?"

Ying Shu did not answer but asked: "Do you remember who I am?"

Su Nuan nodded and replied, "The son of Aunt Ying at the end of the alley."

Hearing this, Ying Shu's eyes lit up, "You remember?"

"Is it Xun Zheng who doesn't want you to come back?"

Su Nuan continued to ask Ying Shu.

Because the young master of the Xun family died eight years ago, if Ying Shu appeared as the young master of the Xun family at this time, what would you think?

Miss Xun was hidden by her admirer and thus escaped death. What about Master Xun? It is impossible to say that the admirer abducted her sister and took her brother with him because of his love for her. That would be too absurd.

People would wonder how the young master of the Xun family managed to survive. The execution of a death row prisoner is not as simple as chopping off his head in the street. The Ministry of Justice will verify the prisoner's identity before execution.

If Xun Zheng found a sister who looked very similar to herself to die as her scapegoat, then what about Ying Shu who was still a child at the time?

You can’t find a child with a similar appearance!

Therefore, the Xun family must have done something to keep him alive. The entire family died unjustly, and the head of the family wanted to preserve a trace of bloodline, which is understandable, but what about those people who helped Ying Shu survive?

People can't help but wonder, are these people loyal to the emperor or to Xun Yu?

I even wondered if the Xun family had such means, and if they really only had Ying Shu as their descendant? And was Miss Xun really abducted by her admirer? Could it be that the Xun family also used some means to keep her alive?

Su Nuan felt that Xun Zheng should not care about other people being suspected, but it would be bad if she herself was suspected, so she would stop Ying Shu from coming back as the young master of the Xun family and prevent her from destroying her image as a victim.

"It has nothing to do with her. I don't want to be a member of the Xun family anymore."

Ying Shu's simple words overturned all of Su Nuan's previous reasoning.

This time Su Nuan did not guess the reason. She just looked at Ying Shu quietly, waiting for him to tell it himself.

As expected, Ying Shu slowly said, "My surname was not Xun, but Ying. The Xun family had no descendants, so they took me away. I can only be the young master of the Xun family as an adopted child among the relatives. Since I died once, I want to be Ying Shu again. I want to find my mother."

Su Nuan suddenly recalled the scene in her memory where the killer killed Ying Shu's mother, and guessed that Ying Shu probably didn't know that his mother had been murdered.

She asked tentatively, "Have you never seen Aunt Ying since you went to the Xun family?"

Ying Shu shook his head. "I once ran back secretly, but my mother was gone. He said that she left the imperial city because she was afraid of affecting me, but he refused to tell me where she went."

Su Nuan guessed that the "he" Ying Shu was referring to should be Xun Yu.

In other words, Xun Yu had been deceiving Ying Shu.

She wanted to tell Ying Shu the truth, but she didn't know how to start. First, she was not sure how Ying Shu would react. Second, the original owner only had a fragment of memory. She was afraid that there were other hidden secrets. If she told Ying Shu without knowing the whole story, it would only cause him more trouble.

But at this moment she already felt that Ying Shu was right not to return to the Xun family.

Not wanting to mention Aunt Ying, Su Nuan quickly changed the subject, "Why did you come to see me today?"

Ying Shu did not answer but asked, "How are you doing in the Prince's Mansion?"

Su Nuanxin said that with your sister around, I feel like I'm soaking in a vinegar jar every day, so sour, how can it be good.

But she couldn't admit that she was jealous, so she said stubbornly, "It's still the same. It doesn't matter, okay?"

As if to determine the truth of Su Nuan's words, Ying Shu stared at Su Nuan for a long time, which made Su Nuan feel a little uncomfortable. Then she slowly said, "Are you willing to leave with me?"
