I just want to live a good life

Chapter 265 I'll send you home if you dare to complain

A farce of quarrel was taking place in the post station.

At this time, in Ruoliu Town, more than ten miles away, Xun Zheng was standing in the study of the county magistrate Wang Qin, taking off his clothes one by one.

"Junior sister, what are you doing?"

"Brother, this is what the Xun family owes you, just accept it."

"No, the Xun family doesn't owe me anything. I did all this willingly. I know that overturning the case for the Xun family was the teacher's last wish, and it was also the purpose for you to lie dormant here for so many years. Now that the Crown Prince has finally come to overturn the case for the Xun family, it's time for me to take action."

"But this journey is extremely dangerous, I'm afraid..."

Xun Zheng stopped talking halfway through. She frowned and bit her lips, as if she was struggling internally, and finally she tore open the belt of her inner garment.

"Brother, I know how you feel about me. You want me today. Let me thank you for your kindness on behalf of the Xun family!"

"Junior sister, who do you think I am? I thought you knew me for so many years. Although I love you, I don't want to take you by force. I know that all you think about is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince overturns the case for the Xun family, you can go to him openly. How can I destroy you at this time!

Put on your clothes. If you really want to make it up to me, play a song for me. I haven't heard you play the piano for many years."

Xun Zheng quickly tied her belt, picked up her fallen dress, and bowed to Wang Qin, "Brother, wait for me. I'll go get the zither."

Outside the study, Ying Shu stopped Xun Zheng and asked, "Why did you insist on letting Senior Brother Wang die? Obviously, the grievances of the Xun family can be washed away as long as the envoy of the Fanli Kingdom points out the people who colluded with the Fanli people to rebel, but you killed the envoy of the Fanli Kingdom. Why? Are you hiding something from me?"

"Why are you still talking about this? Didn't I explain it to you last time?" Xun Zheng said coldly, "The envoy of Fanli Country must die."

"What about Senior Brother Wang? Does he have to die too?"

"Yes, he must die too. He was the one who personally handed over the false evidence that pointed out my father's crimes to Cheng Ji. Now, as long as he comes forward and admits that he colluded with Cheng Ji to frame my father's Xun family, the case can be overturned."

"But this is not true. Brother Wang handed the so-called evidence to Cheng Ji because of what Dad asked him to do, right? He did that to keep us alive, didn't he? How could you bear to let him die?"

"I didn't want him to die. He had to die because the Xun family wanted to overturn the case. Someone had to take the blame for the injustice that happened back then, and he was the most suitable candidate."

Ying Shu looked at Xun Zheng in disbelief and murmured, "Sister, why are you so cold-blooded?"

Xun Zheng rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Daddy still placed the hope of the Xun family on you. I think he really misjudged you. What great things can you achieve with such a soft heart like you? Those people you are reluctant to kill will make you and me suffer sooner or later."

"That's better than being cruel and ruthless like you."

"You can't help me and you can't make trouble for me. Starting tomorrow, you will stay at home and reflect on yourself. You are not allowed to go out without my permission."

"You can hold me captive first."

Ying Shu turned away and left.

The brother and sister parted unhappily.

Su Nuan's health has been getting better and better under Liao Xinyi's care these days. The bee sting on her hand has completely healed, and she can move more freely.

It was the bowl of medicine every day that gave her a headache.

After meeting Ying Shu in Leng Yue's room that night, Su Nuan never saw Ying Shu again. Although Ying Shu did not hurt Leng Yue, there was Xun Zheng behind him. Since Xun Zheng wanted to kill Leng Yue, she would not let Leng Yue go easily, so Su Nuan asked Lie Feng to secretly protect Leng Yue all the way in the name of surveillance.

They were getting closer and closer to the Imperial City, but had not yet encountered the Fence Mission escorted by Tracer.

But Su Nuan didn't care about this, because two things had been bothering her these two days.

One thing was that Chu Qi and Su Qingmo avoided her like the plague, and it was extremely difficult for her to say a word to them.

During the day, the two of them walked at the end of the team, and they would go to the bathroom when it was time to take a break.

The two of them could not be seen at the inn at night, and Su Nuan went to their room several times but found it empty.

Later, I learned from the falcon that the two men secretly slept in the stable at night.

It was hard enough to explain why they were hiding from her, and they were even sleeping in the stable. Su Nuan was a little worried about the IQ of these two people.

After "catching" the two men like a cat catching a mouse for several days, they finally blocked them on their way to the stable one night.

"Tell me, why do you want to sleep in the stable instead of living in a nice room? Do you like the smell there or something?"

Su Nuan stood in front of the two of them, with her hands on her hips, looking like they were telling her not to get through unless she told him.

When Chu Qi saw Su Nuan, he looked like he had seen a ghost. He quickly hid behind Su Qingmo, his eyes looking straight behind Su Nuan.

"Are you afraid of His Royal Highness?"

Su Nuan asked tentatively.

Chu Qi pursed her lips and said nothing.

"If you answer my questions, I'll lend you The Phoenix."

Su Nuan put out the bait and waited for Chu Qi to take the bait.

"really?"

"really."

"Well, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I won't tell him."

Chu Qi took a deep breath and said quietly, "Who wants to sleep in a stable? It's cold and smelly. It's because your prince is too scary. He stole the longevity lock I made and knocked me out. He was afraid that I would tell you and threatened me, saying that if I dare to complain to you..."

"So what?" Su Nuan asked.

"Just take me home."

"He knows where your home is?"

Chu Qi nodded.

Su Nuan was surprised and asked, "How did he know?"

"He recognizes——"

Before Chu Qi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Falcon's urgent voice, "Madam Concubine, the Crown Prince is looking for you."

Su Nuan thought that Falcon was interrupting Chu Qi on purpose to cover up for Mu Yunting, and said unhappily: "Tell him to wait a moment, I'm busy."

"My Lady Concubine, Young Master Xia is in trouble."

"Who?"

"Xia Changze, Master Xia."

"What's up with him?"

Su Nuan asked anxiously.

"It is said that someone was beaten to death and has been detained in the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice is your highness's territory. Lord Shen, the Minister of Justice, knows the relationship between Master Xia and your highness, and he passed the news to you immediately. As soon as your highness received the news, he asked his subordinates to look for you."

Beating someone to death is no small matter. The criminal law under the emperor's feet is extremely strict, and you may lose your head if you are not careful.

Su Nuan didn't bother to ask Chu Qi how Mu Yunting knew where his home was.

Hurriedly rushed to see Mu Yunting.
