I just want to live a good life

Chapter 212 Tell a story

Leng Yue calmed down and continued: "That was the first time I met my father..."

Xun Yu had already taken the position of prime minister at that time. Although he was in his early forties, he was still very elegant and graceful.

Leng Yue looks like her father, and the distance between the father and daughter when they first met was brought closer by their similar appearance.

Xun Yu sighed and lamented to his daughter, and comforted her to live steadily in the manor, and he would take her back to the Xun family when the time came.

Unfortunately, Leng Yue did not wait for her father to take her home, but instead received the tragic news that the Xun family was wiped out.

Later, she was sold to a brothel by human traffickers and stayed there for eight years.

"When have you met Xun Zheng?"

"Not long after my father came to the village, she came to see me alone and brought me many beautiful clothes and jewelry. It was the first time I had seen so many beautiful things since I was a child.

She said I should call her elder sister."

When Leng Yue said this, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She could not forget what that woman had said to her.

She said, "As a daughter of a prostitute, how can you be qualified to be a daughter of the Xun family, and how can you call me sister?"

Why is she so superior even though she has a similar face?

Su Nuan didn’t know what Leng Yue was thinking, but she was secretly surprised by the resentment that could not be concealed when she mentioned Xun Zheng.

The relationship between the two sisters might not be as good as she told Mu Yunting.

"Have you met other members of the Xun family?"

Su Nuan continued to ask Leng Yue.

"No. The farm is not an important industry. No one from the Xun family would go there unless there was something important."

"My master said that there is a loyal servant of the Xun family who has been protecting you. Where is he?"

The purpose of Su Nuan's conversation with Leng Yue was to use her to pass a message to Ying Shu, but after listening to her talk about the past, she didn't get any useful information, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Madam, you are talking about Awang, right? He is the son of the Xun family. He is indeed a loyal servant to the Xun family. He came to me when the Xun family was in trouble. However, as a servant, he had no ability to protect me. He watched me being sold to a brothel. The only thing he could do was to come and see me from time to time and bring me some news from the imperial city. It was also he who told me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was investigating the Xun family's case that year."

Su Nuan had previously guessed that this loyal servant might be Ying Shu, but the age didn't match. Ying Shu was about the same age as Xia Qingyan, and was only about ten years old eight years ago. But since he was involved with the Xun family, this loyal servant might have recognized Ying Shu.

"Can you contact Awang?"

Leng Yue asked in confusion: "What does Madam want to see Awang for?"

"I want to know more about the Xun family."

"Madam, you want to know more about your sister."

If you say so, then so be it. Su Nuan did not deny it, but was just waiting for Leng Yue's next words.

"I only know that he lives in the Imperial City, but I don't know where exactly he lives. I have never been to the Imperial City."

After hearing this, Su Nuan knew that there was no hope of asking Awang for help.

Since Mu Yunting already suspected her, he would send someone to monitor her. She couldn't find someone to pass the message herself, so she could only find a way through Leng Yue.

But after listening to her talk so much, I still couldn't find any information that I could use.

I was extremely anxious, but I couldn't show it on my face.

She now only begged Ying to forgive her and not come in the evening.

"Madam, the medicine is ready!"

There was a knock on the door, it was Falcon.

As expected, Mu Yunting asked Falcon to make medicine for him again.

"come in!"

As soon as Su Nuan finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Falcon walked in with a bowl of medicine.

"Madam, you've already taken your medicine, why did you order another bowl?"

Leng Yue asked doubtfully.

"That's right, why do you want me to drink bitter medicine again?"

Su Nuan threw the question to Falcon, took the bowl of medicine, drank it in small sips, and frowned because of the bitterness.

Falcon didn't see Su Nuan pouring medicine out of the window, but the thief that Ye Yin was holding smelled of medicine exactly the same as the one he had brewed.

He guessed that the bowl of medicine fell into the hands of the thief, but he didn't know why Concubine Xia didn't tell Miss Lengyue the truth.

Of course he couldn't say anything that his master hadn't said, but Miss Leng Yue was looking at him with a puzzled look on her face, so it seemed bad for him not to say something.

"Well, Doctor Liao said that this medicine is a tonic. Drinking more will only do good and no harm."

"Is that right?"

Falcon nodded vigorously.

The day passed extremely slowly. Su Nuan sat restlessly in the room, wondering what Ying Shu would say when he came to see her. Then she thought about the scene of Ying Shu being caught by Mu Yunting and tortured.

With Leng Yue accompanying her in the morning, she was able to focus a little.

The person who accompanied her in the afternoon became Mu Yunting.

This man came here specifically to watch her, and his eyes never left her since he stepped into her room.

Even thieves don't take it so seriously.

Su Nuan never thought that being stared at would become a torture one day. She felt uncomfortable being stared at so she just went back to bed and lay dead.

In Mu Yunting's eyes, the woman's uneasy look was a sign of guilt, and his heart was beating back and forth between believing her and not believing her.

The rage in his heart was growing stronger and stronger. If he didn't find an outlet to vent it, he was afraid that he would explode with anger.

He walked heavily to the bedside. The woman on the bed had her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she was obviously pretending to be asleep.

Mu Yunting let out a long breath and picked the person up.

"Xia Qingyan, chat with me."

"what?"

"Ah what? I asked you to chat with me."

Su Nuan was also a temperamental person, and she was about to say no, but she rolled her eyes and swallowed the words back.

What is the situation now? This old man has to be coaxed. If he is coaxed into being happy, he might not mind her cheating on him at night - secretly seeing someone.

"What to talk about?"

"You speak and I listen."

Bah, this again, you treat me as an audio novel!

Then I will tell you about it today.

Su Nuan thought for a moment, went through all the novels she had read in her mind, and finally chose a martial arts novel.

She cleared her throat and began her performance.

At the beginning of the story, Mu Yunting didn't take it seriously, but the more he listened, the more he became fascinated and gradually became fascinated.

There were two people, one talking while the other listening, and the lecture lasted an entire afternoon.

Su Nuan's throat was smoking from talking, and she stopped after drinking the last sip of tea.

"Why don't you talk about it?"

Mu Yunting looked displeased when he heard the crucial moment but the other party stopped talking.

"My mouth is dry, my throat hurts, and I feel suffocated."

Su Nuan spoke with aggrieved tone.

Only then did Mu Yunting realize that her voice was a little hoarse. He felt a little apologetic as he had let her tell stories for the entire afternoon without realizing it.

So he asked softly, "Which one is more anxious?"

That's of course the urge to urinate.

"Your Highness, please step aside for a moment. I..."

It was hard to say, but Mu Yunting understood, "I'll call someone to help you."

The servants in the inn are all men, so Leng Yue is the only one who can be found to help.

Su Nuan said lightly, "Okay."
