I just want to live a good life

Chapter 283 You Still Owe Me Money

Su Nuan used the peach to stimulate Dong Jingshu, but she was not very happy in her heart, because this scene made her feel very uncomfortable. She suddenly realized that with Mu Yunting's identity, it was impossible for her to be with him for the rest of his life, and there would be more and more women who would be her enemies in the future.

Suddenly I had no desire to speak.

Both women shut their mouths, but Mu Yunting put down his teacup and supported his head with his hands, looking like he had a headache.

Dong Jingshu immediately asked, "Your Highness, do you have a headache again? I will ask someone to call the imperial physician right away."

Mu Yunting waved his hand and turned to look at Su Nuan with a look of aggrieved look in his eyes.

Just as Su Nuan received his little look, Mei Xiang came in and said to Su Nuan with her head down: "My queen, the food is ready."

I had already said I would invite them to dinner, but now I couldn't bring myself to ask them to leave.

"Then let's set the table."

Su Nuan said calmly.

Hearing this, Mu Yunting looked at her with a hint of resentment.

Su Nuan pretended not to see it and took the two of them to the side room.

Soon, the food was served on the table.

Fried, stir-fried, stewed, and deep-fried radishes were placed on the table, and the corners of Dong Jingshu and Mu Yunting's mouths began to twitch.

In fact, Su Nuan herself was not very happy to see all the radishes on the table, but she endured it in order to prevent someone from eating for free in the future. Although this situation was unlikely, what if it happened?

"Come on, Sister Jingshu, use your chopsticks. My cooking skills are first-rate, comparable to the chef at Tianxianglou."

Su Nuan picked up a piece of radish meatball and put it into Dong Jingshu's bowl.

Dong Jingshu gave her a look that said "I don't want to eat it" and didn't move her chopsticks. She muttered, "None of the dishes at Tianxianglou is made with radish."

Su Nuan laughed: "That's right, you should eat more of the dishes that you can't even get at Tianxianglou."

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to remind Mu Yunting: "Your Highness, you should eat too. If you don't eat, Sister Jingshu won't dare to pick up her chopsticks."

Mu Yunting had a strange expression on his face and said, "I'm not hungry yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received Su Nuan's dissatisfied look, and quickly added: "Concubine Dong, there is no need to be restrained, you eat first."

Dong Jingshu hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of radish cake and took a bite.

The taste was excellent, but the shadow left by the radish was so heavy that she felt nauseous after just one bite.

But his Royal Highness the Crown Prince was watching, so it would be inappropriate to spit it out, so he forced himself to swallow the mouthful of radish cake.

Su Nuan also picked up a piece of radish cake and started eating it in big mouthfuls. It must be said that Madam Wang's cooking skills were much better than Kang Dahong's. The radish cake was fragrant and there was no trace of the spicy taste of radish at all.

It’s actually quite delicious!

She couldn't help but pick up another carrot meatball. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with good taste and texture.

Su Nuan tried a few more dishes with great interest, and her previous resistance to radishes completely disappeared.

"Eat, why are you just looking and not eating? Sister Jingshu, you must finish all the food in your bowl, don't waste it.

Although you were born into a good family, with a silver spoon in your mouth, and have never been hungry, you have to know that there are still many people in this world who cannot even get enough food, such as the soldiers at the border.

If you waste less food, perhaps one less person will starve to death, and the soldiers at the border can have a full meal and fight bravely against the enemy."

Su Nuan just wanted Dong Jingshu to eat the food, but what she said shocked Mu Yunting, and he looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

Dong Jingshu didn't take it seriously and sneered, "According to what Sister Xia said, wouldn't it be a waste if Sister cooked so many dishes and couldn't finish them?"

"How could that be? This table of dishes is not as expensive as Sister Jingshu's one dish. I heard that the kitchen has recently introduced a new dish made with fresh duck tongues. Dozens of ducks are slaughtered for one dish. Although our Prince's Mansion is rich and powerful, these dozens of ducks are nothing, but if dozens of ducks were placed in the military camp, they would be enough for hundreds of soldiers to drink broth and satisfy their cravings."

Mu Yunting had been in a military camp. Even though he was the Crown Prince, he couldn't eat meat whenever he wanted when he led troops into battle. Su Nuan's words deeply touched him.

I saw him pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of radish, put it in his mouth, and slowly started eating.

In a short while, he had eaten up the small plate of radishes in front of him.

Without saying a word, he showed his attitude through his actions.

Su Nuan didn't need to say anything more, Dong Jingshu knew that she couldn't avoid this punishment.

Looking at the two of them eating radishes diligently, Su Nuan smiled with her eyes curved.

With the efforts of the three people, the radishes on the table were quickly eaten up. After swallowing the last radish ball, Dong Jingshu hurriedly left Duiyueju.

Watching her fleeing in panic, Su Nuan was very satisfied. She was sure that Dong Jingshu would never want to come to Duiyueju for dinner again in her life.

"Why do you always tease her with carrots?"

Mu Yunting asked faintly.

Su Nuan smiled and replied: "I learned it from His Highness."

"Well, if I had known you would hold such a grudge, I wouldn't have let you eat radishes for that month."

"Why, are you upset because I teased her?"

“I feel more sorry for myself!”

Mu Yunting patted his stomach and said aggrievedly: "I will leave tomorrow, and you give me this as my last meal in the mansion."

"Leaving tomorrow?"

Mu Yunting nodded. In fact, he wanted to leave that night, but he really couldn't bear to leave the person in front of him and wanted to hold her in his arms again.

"Do you want me to prepare anything for you?"

"No, I've already got it ready."

"Then I'll ask Madam Wang to prepare some food for you to take with you."

Su Nuan was about to walk out, but was pulled into Mu Yunting's arms.

Mu Yunting buried his face in Su Nuan's neck and said sullenly, "You don't have to prepare anything for me, just stay with me."

Su Nuan felt warm in her heart and hugged Mu Yunting's waist with her backhand.

"I will be gone for ten days at the fastest and half a month at the slowest. You need to take care of yourself and don't ask me to go to the Dali Temple to rescue people again."

"You didn't forget that Lord Lu still owes me money."

"When did he owe you money?"

"Last time he put me in jail."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Your Highness's good father-in-law, Marquis Zhongyuan, has a close relationship with Lord Lu. When I entered the Dali Temple, I was given special care. I lived in a death row cell with nothing. The food was rotten. I spent money to survive. Do you think I should put the money on Lord Lu's head?"

The first time Su Nuan mentioned this to Mu Yunting, Mu Yunting's heart ached. When he saw her so free and easy in prison that day, he thought she didn't suffer much in prison. It turned out that she did suffer, but she suffered but solved it herself.

"Don't worry, Lu Jingzhi and Zhongyuan Hou both have a share of the money owed to you, I will help you get it back."
