I just want to live a good life

Chapter 229 Make a Deal

The list Liao Xinyi wrote listed more than a dozen medicinal herbs.

Su Nuan took a quick look. She didn't know much about medicinal herbs, but she could tell which ones were precious and which ones were rare just by looking at their names.

For example, a century-old ginseng is valuable but not rare, especially for her, who has been the mistress of the Prince's Mansion for more than half a year, she would not regard it as a rare thing.

But the hundred-year-old Tai Sui and the one-inch-long King Kong ant are rare things.

If they were in the imperial city, these things should not be difficult to find, but she has no connections in Xiaomian County, and there are only a few secret guards around her. She cannot reveal her identity, so these medicinal herbs may be difficult to find.

Just when she was worrying, Su Nuan suddenly thought of someone.

Miss Yu.

When Su Nuan heard yesterday that Mu Yunshu's uncle's surname was Yu, she guessed that this Miss Yu was Mu Yunshu's cousin. With Prince Yongping as her brother-in-law, the Yu family must be either rich or noble.

The prescriptions Liao Xinyi prescribed could probably only be found in the homes of the rich and powerful.

Su Nuan took the prescription and asked Falcon to drive the carriage to Yu's house.

After handing over the invitation, Su Nuan waited for Miss Yu in the restaurant where the two of them were eating pig intestines.

Half an hour had passed and no one had come. She guessed that the girl probably didn't want to see her, otherwise even if she had something to say, she could have sent someone to pass on the message.

For her, finding Miss Yu was a last resort and she didn't have much hope.

Since no one was coming, she couldn't just sit there and wait, so she ordered a few dishes and ate while comforting herself.

I didn't see Leng Yue when I went out today. Only Falcon accompanied her into the restaurant.

But today's Falcon was different from usual. He just stood aside and watched over Su Nuan, and refused to sit at the table and eat with them no matter what.

Even Su Nuan's threats were useless. After saying too much, he would just kneel in front of her without saying a word, looking like he was ready to be dealt with.

The falcon was also feeling miserable. Who wouldn't want to eat something delicious? But he really didn't dare to.

Last night, he and several of his brothers stayed in the prince's courtyard all night and could hear everything going on in the room clearly.

His Highness is truly in love with Concubine Xia.

His Highness summoned him to his presence early this morning and specifically told him that from now on Concubine Xia would be his master and he would only take orders from Concubine Xia.

In the past, he could still dare to eat at the same table with Concubine Xia, using the excuse that she was not the real master. But now, how could he dare to do so?

Seeing that she couldn't force Falcon, Su Nuan let him go, asked someone to add a small table in the private room, and ordered a table of food for Falcon.

On the way, Falcon had already told her that he would be her personal secret guard from now on.

Because there is only one falcon, and it is very precious. Su Nuan would rather starve herself than let the falcon starve and reduce its fighting power.

Next, I will fight with Xun Zheng, so I need to ensure my combat effectiveness.

Although Su Nuan is still not sure who the people around her will choose to help when she and Xun Zheng stand on opposite sides, she knows that she must strive for more help, otherwise her "fighting" will become a joke.

Halfway through the meal, the door of the private room was rudely pushed open and an arrogant girl appeared at the door.

Su Nuan was delighted when she saw that person. It was none other than Miss Yu.

"You want to see me?"

The eldest lady came straight to the point.

Su Nuan pointed to the seat next to her and asked someone to sit down.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Is there nothing I can do to treat you to a meal?"

Su Nuan said with a smile.

Miss Yu curled her lips and sat next to Su Nuan.

"It's a deal with Miss Yu."

"Oh? What deal?"

Su Nuan replied, "I want to find some precious medicinal herbs in Xiaomian County, and I want Miss Yu to look for them among the various families."

"You're asking me to help you. What kind of deal is this?"

Miss Yu said disdainfully: "We just met by chance, there is no reason for me to help you."

"It's a deal because you can get benefits."

"Oh? What are the benefits? Tell me."

"I can pay you money, or I can help you do something. It's up to you to choose."

"I have no shortage of money, but I don't need it to do something. You need my help to find some herbs. What can you do for me?"

"There are many things I can do for you. I can help you with things that you can't do yourself. For example, if someone offends you and you can't do it yourself, or you can't beat them, I can help you."

When Su Nuan said this, everyone else in the room was stunned.

Especially Falcon, his eyes were quite complicated, and he silently said in his heart, "The Concubine is joking, the Concubine is joking."

Miss Yu's maid Haitang spoke first: "Miss, you have always disliked Miss Wang, why don't you make a deal with her and let her help you teach Miss Wang a lesson."

Miss Yu looked at Su Nuan, her eyes seemed to be asking whether Su Nuan could do this.

Su Nuan wanted to say that Falcon probably couldn't do something like beating a woman, but since the other party had made a request, she couldn't just refuse directly, so she thought for a while and said, "Miss Yu has already taught a lesson to a delicate lady, so why does she need someone else to do it for her? Besides, I don't think Miss Yu is the kind of person who would do something behind someone's back. I think you can use my promise for more important things."

Miss Yu thought for a moment and said, "I do have something that I can't do myself. If you can help me, I can help you find the medicine. But since it's a precious herb, you still need to pay for it yourself."

"Okay, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"The Yu family has a separate courtyard. A group of people moved in yesterday. Please help me find out the identities of those people, whether the leader is a man or a woman, and what their relationship is with the Prince of Yongping."

As soon as Miss Yu finished speaking, Su Nuan was overjoyed. This really was something that was obtained without any effort!

In fact, the key point of this question is at the end. This little girl mainly wants to know what the relationship is between him and the people in Mu Yunshu’s gang.

"Only this?"

"that's it."

"Okay, I'll go find out for you now, and you can go find the herbs. We'll meet here in the evening."

After saying that, Su Nuan took out a piece of paper with the names of the herbs written on it and handed it to Miss Yu.

Miss Yu took the paper and said, "I don't even know your name yet."

"Su Nuan."

"Yu Zhiqiu."

After the two exchanged their names, Yu Zhiqiu left with the maid.

"Madam, are you really going to tell Miss Yu our true identities?"

Falcon asked Su Nuan.

Su Nuan replied: "Don't worry, Miss Yu doesn't care about our identities, but our relationship with the prince. What other relationship do you think the prince and His Highness have besides being cousins?"

Falcon's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"You can also say that His Highness is the prince's brother-in-law."

Su Nuan gave Falcon a teachable look.

When the two left the restaurant, Su Nuan brought a few dishes to Mu Yunting.

The chef in this restaurant is much better than the chef in the other courtyard.
