I just want to live a good life

Chapter 297 A pair of beautiful people

"My Lady, my Lady, please go back and take a look."

Meixiang's hurried appearance interrupted Su Nuan and Chu Qi, and they both looked at Meixiang at the same time.

"What happened?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Meixiang stopped talking as soon as she started, and kept winking at Su Nuan.

Su Nuan knew that it was Mu Yunting who came back, so she lifted her skirt without saying a word and walked back quickly.

"Hey, Concubine, there are still two pictures that I haven't finished talking about!"

Chu Qi said loudly.

Su Nuan turned her back to him and waved, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The master and his two servants walked all the way towards Duiyueju. After they left the courtyard where Chu Qi was, Meixiang whispered something in Su Nuan's ear.

Su Nuan stopped immediately and looked at Mei Xiang with a frown.

Meixiang said with a wronged look on her face: "The person is already in Duiyueju."

This time Su Nuan did not rush back, but slowed down and thought about countermeasures while walking.

The courtyard where Chu Qi lived was not far from Duiyueju. Even if Su Nuan walked slowly, she would soon reach the door of Duiyueju.

In the yard, Mu Yunting was wearing a dark gown and standing with his hands behind his back.

Standing next to him was a stunningly beautiful woman. Su Nuan was very familiar with this woman. She was Xun Zheng, the woman that Mu Yunting had been looking for for eight years.

The two of them standing together look like a perfect match.

Su Nuan's eyes moved back and forth between Mu Yunting's gentle smile and Xun Zheng's arrogant expression. After a few rounds, she heard herself sigh.

My steps stopped unconsciously.

Seeing her standing still, Mu Yunting walked up to her and took her hand.

Su Nuan keenly noticed that Xun Zheng's eyes had changed, so she reached out and held Mu Yunting's hand, interlocking their fingers tightly.

"Yan'er, come, let me introduce someone to you."

When the two of them walked up to Xun Zheng, Mu Yunting spoke.

Su Nuan smiled and replied, "Your Highness, can I ask you to guess?"

Mu Yunting nodded in agreement.

Su Nuan faced Xun Zheng and said, "This sister looks so much like Leng Yue, I guess she must be Leng Yue's sister!"

Xun Zheng once sent Ying Shu to kill Leng Yue, so she must have been full of hostility towards Leng Yue. Su Nuan mentioned Leng Yue as soon as they met and gave Xun Zheng the title of "Sister Leng Yue" just to disgust her.

Sure enough, a hint of disgust flashed across Xun Zheng's eyes, and Su Nuan took it in just right.

Mu Yunting was unaware of the undercurrent between the two women. He took over Su Nuan's words and said, "Yes, this is Xun Zheng, the daughter of my mentor."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "I congratulate Your Highness for getting what he wanted and finding Miss Xun. I heard that the villain who framed Lord Xun has surrendered, so it's just right that Miss Xun was found at this time."

"That beast Wang Qin has put A Zheng under house arrest. If A Zheng hadn't sneaked out with the evidence, Wang Qin probably wouldn't have turned himself in. He wanted to use turning himself in to save the Wang family."

Su Nuan would never believe that Xun Zheng was under house arrest, but she had no evidence to refute it, so she asked, "Why did Wang Qin put Miss Xun under house arrest?"

Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting when she asked the question, but Mu Yunting did not answer the question directly. Instead, he looked at Xun Zheng. Just from this one action, Su Nuan concluded that Mu Yunting also had doubts about Xun Zheng's statement that she was under house arrest.

Being stared at by two people, Xun Zheng's beautiful eyes were soon filled with tears. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to hold back the tears. Anyone who saw her like this would feel soft-hearted.

As expected, Mu Yunting was defeated and replied for her: "That beast has been coveting A Zheng for a long time."

If Su Nuan had not competed with Xun Zheng, she would have stepped forward and given her a comforting hug. Unfortunately, this woman's heart was not as kind as her appearance.

The previous words had already touched a sore spot, so Su Nuan didn't want to continue asking about this topic, so she changed the subject and asked, "Have the members of Wang Qin's clan been implicated by him?"

This time Mu Yunting responded quickly, "Wang Qin committed a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan. Even if he surrenders himself, there is no reason to pardon his clan members."

"It seems that the Wang family is the most innocent and has been implicated by Wang Qin alone." Su Nuan sighed.

"That can't be said. Wang Qin's ability to commit crimes in Ruoliu Town is closely related to the support of the Wang family."

This surprised Su Nuan.

"Okay, let's not talk about others. It's the first time that Ah Zheng comes to Duiyueju, why don't we invite her in to sit down?"

Su Nuan said "no" in her heart, but made a please gesture with her hand.

The three of them entered the house.

"Why is Concubine Xia's bedroom so small?" Xun Zheng asked in surprise.

The word "bedroom" made Su Nuan slightly stunned. It was the first time she realized that the place where she lived was called a bedroom. She had always regarded Duiyueju as her own little home and never thought that she was also the owner of a palace.

But her double residence didn't look like a palace at all. The courtyard was the smallest in the entire mansion.

Su Nuan felt a little disappointed, but it didn't show on her face. She answered Xun Zheng's questions with a smile.

"Although my double moon residence is small, it is the best located courtyard in the mansion and the most comfortable to live in."

Xun Zheng said, "If I remember correctly, this place should be the farthest from Brother Yun Ting's bedroom. Why did Concubine Xia say that this is the best location?"

The sound of "Brother Yunting" was so relaxed and natural that Su Nuan immediately thought of Cheng Ansu. That woman liked to call Mu Yunting "Brother Prince" the most, but the two people were very different.

Xun Zheng is natural and generous, while Cheng Ansu is pretentious and shy. Even if there is no relationship with Cheng Ji, just calling Cheng Ansu makes Xun Zheng look far inferior.

"I chose this moon house for her because I had some misunderstandings about her during the wedding." Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan apologetically and said softly, "It's really unfair for you to live here all the time. Choose another yard you like and have someone clean it up tomorrow so you can move in."

Su Nuan smiled and shook her head. "Miss Xun didn't know the benefits of my yard when she came here for the first time. Your Highness, don't you know? I spent a lot of time and effort to build this yard, and I can't bear to move away."

"From what Concubine Xia said, there is something else going on in this courtyard. Can you let me take a look?"

"Miss Xun, you came at an unfortunate time. The benefits of my yard will only be revealed when spring comes and the flowers bloom."

"Oh, that's a shame."

Xun Zheng said with some regret.

"What's the pity? If Miss Xun wants to see it, she can come back in a few months."

"Is this an invitation from Concubine Xia?"

"Forget it!"

Mu Yunting smiled and said, "A Zheng lives in the mansion and can come to Duiyueju anytime. There's no need for an invitation."

This means that Xun Zheng will officially be living with Mu Yunting day and night, and Su Nuan feels a little disappointed.

"Brother Yunting, I don't want to live in the Prince's Mansion. I want to go back to the Xun family."

Mu Yunting thought for a moment and replied to Xun Zheng with an "OK".

Su Nuan felt even worse after hearing this, because this "good" from Mu Yunting was worth a fortune.

After the Xun family was sealed, all of the Xun family's properties were confiscated by the court, including the Xun family's house. Although the Xun family's case was vindicated and the court should return the Xun family's properties, it is hard to say how much of the Xun family's properties are left after so many years, and how much the court is willing to return.

Mu Yunting's one "good" thing was that he agreed to help Xun Zheng get back the Xun family's property.
