I just want to live a good life

Chapter 155 Your Highness, Listen to Me

Su Nuan agreed with the Ministry of Rites on a time to finalize the details of Mu Yunting's marriage to Dong Jingshu.

After this time was agreed upon, Su Nuan was in a bad mood and felt irritated no matter what she did.

I happened to hear that Mu Yunting came back early today and was in the study.

Su Nuan wanted to finalize the marriage arrangements with him first. She had to know what level Mu Yunting could accept. She had to discipline Dong Jingshu within Mu Yunting's acceptable range. Otherwise, if she accidentally exceeded this level, she would offend two people at once, which would not be worth it.

This was not the first time that Su Nuan came to Mu Yunting's study, nor was it the first time that she was stopped at the door by Lu Zhu.

This girl seems to have to show her presence if you don't go against her, which is very annoying.

Su Nuan secretly made up her mind that after marrying Dong Jingshu, she would make sure these two would fight each other.

"My Lady Concubine, His Highness is in a meeting, please do not disturb him."

"Who are you discussing this with? Why haven't I heard of anyone coming to the mansion?"

"It was Marquis Zhongyuan who came to see Your Highness in person."

"Oh? I have to see Marquis Zhongyuan even more since he is here. Don't you know that His Highness has entrusted me with the preparations for the wedding? I just happen to have something to say to Marquis Zhongyuan."

"My Lady Concubine, since His Highness has entrusted you with the preparations for the wedding, if he discusses matters related to the wedding, he will definitely send someone to invite you. If he doesn't invite you, it means that what His Highness discussed with Marquis Zhongyuan has nothing to do with the wedding.

If you have any questions about the wedding, you can go to the Minister of Rites, Lord Sun. The procedures of the Ministry of Rites are ready-made. After all, it has only been half a year since the last wedding in our Prince's Mansion."

"That's right. I really need to go talk to Lord Sun. If I can complete this mission, Your Highness can let me handle all the marriages in our Crown Prince's Mansion in the future. Whoever wants to be Your Highness's concubine or a maid will have to get my approval."

After Su Nuan finished speaking, she looked at Lu Zhu leisurely.

The meaning is very clear. If you, Luzhu, want to be the prince's maid in the future, you need my permission.

Lu Zhu's face twitched, and she suppressed her anger and said to Su Nuan, "Then I wish the Concubine a smooth mission!"

At this moment, the door of Mu Yunting's study opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out.

The man had a fair complexion, short beard and a slightly plump figure.

When he saw Su Nuan, he did not hide his disgust at all. He walked past her without even saying hello.

The man was none other than Dong Cheng, Marquis of Zhongyuan.

Su Nuan didn't care. Anyway, ever since Bi Tao was carried into the Zhongyuan Marquis's mansion, she had already torn her relationship with the Zhongyuan Marquis's family. She would give Dong Jingshu a warning in a few days and offend the whole family. There was no need for her to pretend to be polite to him here.

But not caring doesn't mean I have to tolerate his rudeness. If he makes me uncomfortable, I have to annoy him in some way.

So, Su Nuan said loudly to Dong Cheng's back, pinching her throat: "Your Highness, I am very worried about that girl Bi Tao. When Concubine Dong marries in, you must tell her to ask her brother to treat Bi Tao well."

Seeing Dong Cheng suddenly clench his fists, Su Nuan almost laughed out loud with pride.

Suddenly, her cheek felt painful, and two slender fingers pinched her face.

When she turned around, she saw Mu Yunting looking at her with a smile, and Su Nuan blurted out two words, "hateful".

She really hated being pinched on the face, but she was speaking to Dong Cheng with her throat pinched, and her throat didn't switch to the normal mode for a while, so the two words were pronounced in a pinched tone.

As soon as this sound came out, Su Nuan got goose bumps all over her body.

He coughed and asked Mu Yunting in a hoarse voice, "Why are you pinching me?"

Mu Yunting pulled her into the room and slammed the door shut.

Dong Cheng was curious when he heard Su Nuan's "hate" and looked back, just in time to see Mu Yunting hurriedly pulling someone into the room.

He was immediately enraged, muttering, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince who is not interested in women, is actually a lecher."

As soon as she entered the room, Su Nuan shook off Mu Yunting's hand and looked at Mu Yunting with unfriendly eyes.

Mu Yunting shrugged and said briskly: "I'm helping you."

"What can you help me with?"

Su Nuan asked in confusion.

"Let Marquis Zhongyuan know how much I love you. You can be more arrogant in front of him in the future."

Su Nuan was smart and knew what this meant after a quick thought. Her face turned red and she quickly changed the subject.

"Is the Marquis of Zhongyuan coming to see Your Highness about the wedding between Your Highness and his daughter?"

"No."

"Then why did he come to see Your Highness?"

"Guess what?"

Su Nuan thought for a moment and replied, "He came to you for Dong Youning's marriage, right? Is it because Dong Youning has fallen in love with a girl from a certain family and hopes that Your Highness will mediate?"

Mu Yunting gave Su Nuan a thumbs-up with his eyes. At least that’s how Su Nuan understood it.

"That's right. Then guess which girl he has his eyes on?"

"How can I guess that? Come on, don't keep me in suspense."

"Dong Youning has taken a fancy to Yun Xi and wants me to introduce them to him."

If it were any other girl, Su Nuan would definitely find a way to stop Mu Yunting from interfering in such trivial matters, but when she heard that it was Mu Yunxi, she even wanted to go and act as a matchmaker in person.

That girl is unruly and headstrong, and she is a princess. If the Dong family wants to marry her, they will be marrying a lady into the family.

However, Su Nuan also knew that it was wishful thinking for Dong Youning to be obsessed with Mu Yunxi.

Judging from Mu Yunxi's feelings, she must have a special liking for Ying Shu, so how could she be willing to marry Dong Youning?

Dong Youning married a concubine of low status with the help of the prince. Not to mention that Mu Yunxi looked down on Dong Youning, even if she did, Prince Yongping would never let his precious daughter marry him.

"What do you think about this?"

Seeing Su Nuan didn't say anything, Mu Yunting asked.

"What can I think? This connection is useless. Yunxi will never marry Dong Youning. But we have to give face to our future father-in-law. Your Highness should go to the Yongping Palace and tell the Dong family what they want. As for whether to marry or not, let sister Yunxi decide for herself."

"I thought you would say don't mind your own business."

"Your Highness, even if you don't care about Marquis Zhongyuan, you should at least consider Concubine Dong's face!"

Mu Yunting's face turned cold and he said nothing.

Seeing that the time was right, Su Nuan volunteered, "If Your Highness doesn't want to do this kind of thing, why don't I go for Your Highness?"

"You can go if you want."

"It's just that my status is a little lacking. I'm afraid I can only meet the Crown Prince's Consort if I go to the Yongping Palace. It's not appropriate to discuss this matter with the Crown Prince's Consort."

"What do you want?"

"Will your Highness accompany me?"

The corner of Mu Yunting's mouth twitched visibly.

His concubine was very calculating. She acted in circles for a long time before revealing her true colors. She said she would go on a trip for him, but it was obvious that she was interested in the matter and wanted to get involved, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"Tell me your purpose."

Mu Yunting said with a fierce face.

Su Nuan naturally would not tell her her true purpose, so she replied with a smile: "What purpose can I have? I just don't want the Dong family to ruin your reputation."

"Where does this begin?"

"Listen to me while I tell you something. Ah, no, listen to me while I tell you something."
