Chapter 293 Sending Silver Notes
Chapter 293 Sending Silver Notes
Ever since she witnessed the affectionate scene between Prince Guang'an and Leng Yue under the tree, Su Nuan seemed to have lost all her vitality. She brought Princess Guang'an to the wisteria dome. Although it was the wrong season and there were no clusters of flowers hanging on the vines, the absence of the dazzling flowers made it easier to see the magnificence of the wisteria dome.
Princess Guang'an walked under the tree, looked up for a while, and murmured, "It must be beautiful when the flowers bloom here!"
Seeing her longing look, Su Nuan couldn't help but say, "If you are still in the Imperial City in early summer next year, you can come to the Prince's Mansion to enjoy their blooming."
Unexpectedly, Princess Guang'an looked lonely after hearing these words.
This is probably because how long Prince Guang'an can stay in the Imperial City depends on the Emperor's mood, and they cannot stay as long as they want.
Princess Guang'an must be sad when thinking about this.
Her family was all in the imperial city. After returning to Xiaomian County, she didn't even have any relatives. The person closest to her was thinking about other women, and his body was not honest either. There were a lot of beautiful women around him.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan suddenly felt a little sorry for Princess Guang'an. She felt that Princess Guang'an's situation was quite similar to her own. Su Nuan suddenly missed her family and friends very much, and wondered if they would miss her.
She remembered that Lord Lu from the Dali Temple was a relative of Marquis Zhongyuan, so Dong Jingshu and Princess Guang'an should also be relatives.
"Would the princess like to meet Concubine Dong? She and the princess are cousins, right?"
When Princess Guang'an heard this, her eyes darkened even more, and she frowned slightly, saying, "I saw him in the palace that day, but he disappeared today."
It seems that the cousins are not close. This is how the aristocratic families are, they mostly look after each other for the sake of profit, and there should be no interest relationship between the cousins.
Su Nuan nodded and said nothing more.
In early winter, without the warmth of the sun, it was difficult to stay for long under the cold tree canopy, so the two stood there for a while and then left.
They went back to the house and drank tea for a while before Prince Guang'an came back with a happy face.
Su Nuan glanced at Princess Guang'an and saw that her face was indifferent and her emotions were unrecognizable, which made her admire her greatly.
Princess Guang'an said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's go back."
Prince Guang'an rubbed his frozen white hands, glanced at the steaming tea in front of Princess Guang'an, and said, "No hurry, have a cup of tea before leaving, I'm thirsty."
"Your Majesty, you also made an appointment with Master Pei to drink tea. If you drink too much now, you won't be able to drink anymore later."
As she spoke, Princess Guang'an stood up, walked steadily to the side of Prince Guang'an, and said softly, "Let's go, Prince."
After saying that, she reached out and took Prince Guang'an's arm and walked out. When she reached the door, she did not forget to say goodbye to Su Nuan.
Su Nuan held back her laughter. Even an outsider like her could see that Prince Guang'an was so cold that he wanted to drink a cup of hot tea. However, Princess Guang'an turned a blind eye and even found excuses to stop him. It was obvious that she also had a bit of a temper.
After seeing the couple off, Su Nuan called Meixiang. Just now in the garden, she winked at Meixiang, but she didn't know if Meixiang understood.
"My lady, this Miss Leng Yue in our house is really not an ordinary person."
As soon as she saw Su Nuan, Meixiang said mysteriously.
Seeing this expression, Su Nuan knew that Mei Xiang not only understood her expression but also did a good job, so she cooperated and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Prince Guang'an is a prince after all. He has seen all the world, but Miss Lengyue coaxed him into being like a young man who has just fallen in love."
Meixiang then recounted to Su Nuan everything she had seen and heard in the garden.
Finally, Su Nuan concluded that Prince Guang'an was aroused by the desire to protect Leng Yue, a helpless and weak woman.
"My lady, would you let Miss Leng Yue live in your house..."
Mei Xiang didn't finish her words, but Su Nuan understood what she meant. She was worried that Leng Yue would use her tricks on Mu Yunting.
Such worries are not unreasonable, but Su Nuan does not have such worries. It is not because she is confident in herself, but she knows that Mu Yunting does not like a person just based on appearance, otherwise he would not have been single for so many years because of Xun Zheng.
Leng Yue is more like a responsibility to Mu Yunting. Taking good care of her is a comfort to his deceased teacher.
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't have that kind of thought towards Leng Yue."
"But Miss Leng Yue is able to seduce Prince Guang'an, which shows that she is quite capable. Your Majesty should be more careful."
"it is good."
Su Nuan agreed readily. She knew that if she didn't agree, Mei Xiang would give her a lot of reasons to convince her.
The master and servant were planning to return to Duiyueju, but before they were halfway there, someone came to report that the second prince had arrived for a visit.
Su Nuan sighed. She didn’t know what day it was today and why so many people came here.
It is said that the second prince has not visited the Prince's Mansion since Dong Jingshu married into the Mansion. I wonder what important matter brought him here.
With curiosity, Su Nuan returned to the reception room.
The two groups of guests just now were served only by maids and servants, but when it came to the Second Prince's place, it was Steward Ding who was in charge personally.
It’s not that the Second Prince is more noble than the previous two groups of guests, it’s just that Manager Ding is worried. The treasury has finally been filled up these days, and this giant Buddha has arrived, and his purpose is very worrying.
Su Nuan and Mu Yunyi greeted each other and then sat down.
"If the Second Prince is looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please go back. His Royal Highness is recovering from his injuries and is not suitable for receiving guests."
"I'm not here to see him, I'm here to see you."
"looking for me?"
Mu Yunyi did not answer, but kept fiddling with the teacup in front of him with his hands.
After a long silence, Su Nuan couldn't help but speak first: "Why did the Second Prince come to see me?"
"I......"
He stopped after saying just one word. Su Nuan's curiosity grew stronger, and Manager Ding also stared at Mu Yunyi nervously, fearing that he would ask for money in the next sentence.
Under the gaze of the two, Mu Yunyi took out a stack of banknotes and had someone deliver it to Su Nuan.
Steward Ding's eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise. For so many years, the Second Prince had only received money from the Crown Prince's Mansion, and this was the first time he sent back silver notes.
Manager Ding was eager to take the banknote on behalf of Concubine Xia.
Compared to Steward Ding, Su Nuan was much calmer. She glanced at the dozen silver notes with a face value of 1,000 taels, which was not a small amount. She asked calmly, "What does the Second Prince mean by this?"
"This is fifteen thousand taels of silver. Please accept it, sister-in-law."
