I just want to live a good life

Chapter 282: Capable Peach

"Are you sure Concubine Xia wants Miss Leng Yue to live in Luoying Pavilion?"

Manager Ding confirmed with Su Nuan again.

"Go and make arrangements quickly. Miss Leng Yue is injured and needs to be taken good care of."

Manager Ding took the order and left.

Su Nuan suddenly thought of Liao Xinyi and quickly called Manager Ding back.

"Is Miss Leng Yue the only one here today? Is there a Miss Liao?"

"Replying to Concubine Xia, no girl surnamed Liao came to visit. Prince Guang'an only sent Miss Lengyue."

"Prince Guang'an?"

Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "He personally sent Leng Yue here?"

"Yes."

This is interesting. Prince Guang'an has a close relationship with Xun Zheng. Ying Shu wants to kill Leng Yue. Leng Yue and Xun Zheng look 80% similar. Prince Guang'an personally sent people to the Prince's Mansion.

These seemingly messy and contradictory information seem to reveal something unusual.

Su Nuan asked someone to find out about Liao Xinyi, and returned to Duiyueju herself.

Before I reached the door, I heard crying sounds from inside.

Su Nuan was startled and worried that something might happen to Meixiang and Madam Wang, so she quickened her pace.

"Your Highness, that slut is relying on Concubine Xia to back her up and is completely lawless. If you don't take care of me, I will not be able to face returning to my parents' home."

Su Nuan frowned as she heard every word.

The person who was speaking was Dong Jingshu, so could the "slutty maid" who relied on her be Bitao?

"Your Highness, I have never asked you for anything in all the time I have been here. Please help me with this matter!"

Su Nuan walked to the door but didn't rush in. She lay down beside the door and looked inside secretly.

In the yard, Mu Yunting stood with his hands behind his back, looking impatient. Dong Jingshu knelt in front of him, sobbing and covering her face.

Su Nuan wanted to take another look at the situation, but as soon as she leaned forward, she was noticed by Mu Yunting.

"My dear, you are back just in time!"

Mu Yunting said loudly.

The word "beloved" made Su Nuan's hair stand on end. Normally, it was not a good thing when Mu Yunting called her like that.

Su Nuan reluctantly entered the door of Duiyueju and said loudly, "What's going on? Why is Sister Jingshu kneeling on the ground?"

Dong Jingshu ignored her and just knelt on the ground crying.

Su Nuan rolled her eyes, turned to look at Mei Xiang who was hiding in the distance, and waved to her.

Meixiang glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince timidly, gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and trotted over to Su Nuan.

"How is this going?"

Su Nuan asked in a low voice.

Meixiang whispered in Su Nuan's ear for a while.

The wife of Marquis Zhongyuan came this afternoon and started complaining as soon as she saw Dong Jingshu.

It turned out that the wife of Marquis Zhongyuan had taken a fancy to the second daughter of Mr. Liu from the Imperial Observatory, and sent someone to propose marriage. However, as soon as the matchmaker arrived at the door, she was driven out by the second daughter of the Liu family with a broom.

This incident soon became a laughing stock among the powerful.

Normally, everyone should laugh at Miss Liu Er's rudeness, but everyone just laughed at the Prince of Zhongyuan Marquis.

The wife of Marquis Zhongyuan could not bear to see her son suffer such an injustice, so she asked around and found out that it was Bitao who was behind it.

She overheard that the wife of Marquis Zhongyuan asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her, so before the matchmaker went to the Liu family, she found Miss Liu Er and begged her on her knees not to compete with her for the prince. As a result, Miss Liu Er was disgusted and not only drove the matchmaker out, but also declared that she would never marry a man who had a concubine before marrying a wife.

The wife of Marquis Zhongyuan was furious and wanted to give Bitao a good beating as soon as she caught her. However, Bitao was not a pushover. She had acquired many skills during those years of following Xia Qingyan in "doing justice and chivalry". She was able to fight the maids around the wife of Marquis Zhongyuan on equal terms.

So, the wife of Marquis Zhongyuan couldn't stand it anymore, so she came to her daughter for help, asking her to get rid of this evil from the Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion.

Su Nuan understood the first part, but she didn't understand the last part. Why did the mistress of the mansion of Marquis Zhongyuan ask to come to the prince's mansion even though she had driven away one of her son's concubines?

She asked her question.

Meixiang timidly glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, and said in an even lower voice, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a maid to Bitao in your name. Whenever the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyuan wanted to punish Bitao, that maid would stand up and use His Royal Highness and you to put pressure on the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyuan."

Su Nuan was secretly amazed after hearing this. She didn't expect that Mu Yunting had such a skill.

This is to take the matter of annoying Zhongyuan Hou's family to the extreme!

Under such circumstances, Dong Jingshu still wants to marry into the Prince's Mansion. How desperate is she!

Looking at Dong Jingshu kneeling on the ground, Su Nuan sighed.

This matter was a bit difficult to handle. Mu Yunting was trying to get revenge for her by going against the Zhongyuan Marquis' Mansion. There was no reason for her to sabotage him, but how could she get Dong Jingshu out of Duiyueju?

"Sister Jingshu, if you have anything to say, please speak up. It's time for dinner. Why don't you have dinner with me? We haven't had dinner together since you came into the mansion."

As he spoke, Su Nuan reached out to help Dong Jingshu.

Dong Jingshu had been kneeling for a while and had already remembered it. Su Nuan gave her a step and she stood up.

"Chun Liu, go tell Madam Wang that Concubine Dong will be having dinner here tonight, and ask her to cook a few of her signature dishes."

Su Nuan winked at Chunliu, and Chunliu hurried to the kitchen to find Madam Wang.

Dong Jingshu was invited into the house.

It was the first time that the three of them sat face to face together, and Su Nuan felt a little awkward.

But she was the only one who felt awkward.

Mu Yunting drank his tea calmly, while Dong Jingshu looked at him with fascination.

It was as if the two protagonists who were crying and making a fuss at the door just now had nothing to do with the two people in front of him.

Su Nuan didn't want to see the two of them living a peaceful and quiet life, so she took the lead in breaking the quiet scene.

"Sister Jingshu, Meixiang just told me that Bitao was really brave this time. I didn't expect that she would do this for your brother. It's worth it for me to marry her into the Zhongyuan Marquis's Mansion. Can you talk to the wife of the Zhongyuan Marquis and ask Bitao to take time to come back to the Prince's Mansion to see me? I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her very much."

After hearing Su Nuan's words, Dong Jingshu was in disbelief. She looked at Su Nuan and then at Mu Yunting, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Since Sister Xia misses her, why not take her back home? She's just a concubine anyway. Instead of waiting for her to get into trouble and be sold off, it's better to let her come back and continue to serve Sister Xia."

"How can that be possible? It is better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage. How can I break up the perfect couple of Bi Tao and the son of the Marquis Zhongyuan because of myself?"

Dong Jingshu was so angry that she couldn't speak.

She didn't dare say that her brother had nothing to do with Bi Tao. Although everyone knew that it was the son of Marquis Zhongyuan who teamed up with Concubine Xia's maid to frame Concubine Xia at the inn that day, this could not be said explicitly. If it was said, the matter was ultimately related to her as well.
