I just want to live a good life

Chapter 113: I thought of retiring to the countryside

When the carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion, Xia Lian was already waiting there with his family.

Su Nuan immediately saw Xia Qingyao smiling at her in the crowd.

In her impression, Xia Qingyao always had a bad face when she saw her. Why did she change her attitude today?

Could it be that she had already received the news that Prince Yongping had agreed to her marriage with Mu Yunshu?

No, if it was because of this matter, the Xia Lian couple should be happy, but the way they looked at me was obviously worried.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Xia Lian led Mu Yunting into the general's mansion.

Madam Xia grabbed Su Nuan from behind and asked anxiously, "Yan'er, there are rumors out there that you were kidnapped by criminals. Is that true?"

Her voice was very low, but Xia Changze and Xia Qingyao, who were following behind the two of them, came over after hearing it. The difference between the two was that the former spoke with concern, while the latter was there purely to laugh at the joke.

"It's true." Su Nuan replied.

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she sighed and then burst into tears.

Su Nuan was a little surprised, and hurried to comfort her: "Although I was kidnapped, I am not injured at all. Look, I am fine now!"

Madam Xia sighed again, wiped her tears and said, "Don't be sad if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to divorce you today. Dad and Mom have already discussed it. At worst, your father will retire and take you two sisters back to our hometown in Danzhou."

"Mother, you said you were not partial. When my younger sister got into trouble, my father even thought of retiring to the countryside. When I got into trouble, he would just marry me off casually."

"You are still arguing with your sister at this time. Why are you getting more and more immature as you grow older? Don't you think about whether the Crown Prince can still speak for you in front of Prince Yongping after your sister is divorced? What will happen to your marriage?"

"Mom, don't worry. The situation may not be that bad. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not divorce me."

Xia Changze's words lacked confidence, causing Mrs. Xia to sigh.

Su Nuan was so shocked that she didn't know what to say for a moment. The Xia family misunderstood Mu Yunting's intention. They must think that their daughter was kidnapped by criminals and lost her innocence. The prince came to return the goods.

But before they even asked about the details of their kidnapping, they had already imagined such a result. Su Nuan was also impressed.

As they were talking, everyone had already entered Chongwu Hall.

After sitting down, Xia Lian and his wife exchanged glances, as if they had received some kind of affirmation, and Xia Lian's face suddenly became full of worry.

For a moment, Chongwu Hall was extremely quiet, and even the maidservants serving tea were so quiet that no sound could be heard.

Mu Yunting also noticed the strangeness of the Xia family. He picked up the teacup calmly, took a few sips, and glanced at Su Nuan seemingly unintentionally.

Su Nuan felt that this scene was very strange, but it also warmed her heart. Although she did not have much contact with the Xia family after traveling through time, she could truly feel their love and care for her original self.

And now she is enjoying this care on behalf of Xia Qingyan.

Su Nuan was just feeling touched when she heard Xia Lian speak up: "Your Highness, we heard that Yan'er was kidnapped by criminals. Although it's not nice to tell others about this, Yan'er is only a concubine, so not many people will pay attention to this matter. After a few days, those gossipers will gradually forget about it."

"So what does General Xia want?"

Mu Yunting put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Xia Lian leisurely.

Xia Lian said cautiously, "Why not let Yan'er return to the General's Mansion to live for a while, and when things settle down, I will personally send her back to the Prince's Mansion."

"No." Mu Yunting refused decisively without even thinking about it.

"She is the mistress of the Prince's Mansion. There are many things waiting for her in the mansion. She cannot leave."

If the person being talked about was not Su Nuan herself, she would have believed the excuse Mu Yunting made up.

Although this reason is unbelievable, it has to be said that using it at this time will have a significant effect.

Xia Lian and the other members of the Xia family present were so shocked that their mouths widened, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Su Nuan became subtle.

Seeing that Mu Yunting was about to speak again, Su Nuan was afraid that he would say something shocking, so she said first: "Dad, His Highness did not come here today to talk about me. Prince Yongping wanted to meet with Dad, and His Highness came to talk about this matter."

When these words came out, the Xia family was shocked again. They had been asking Mu Yunting to help connect with Prince Yongping for a while, but they had never received a reply. The Xia family had no hope for this.

Now that I suddenly heard that the results were out, I didn’t know how to react.

Xia Lian was the first to come back to his senses. He thanked Mu Yunting with tea instead of wine.

Afterwards, the two began to discuss the banquet with Prince Yongping, and the female relatives returned to the inner courtyard under the leadership of Madam Xia.

"Yan'er, mother never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would think so highly of you. I was just worried that you would be divorced. Now it's really great!"

Mrs. Xia was a little excited when she said this, and Su Nuan felt that her hand was hurt by her holding it.

"Our little sister is loved wherever she goes. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who didn't realize the good in our little sister before. Now that he has discovered her, he will definitely treasure her in his hands."

When second sister-in-law Nie said this, Yu also nodded in agreement.

"My little sister is beautiful and sensible, everyone who sees her likes her!"

Xia Qingyao said as she took Su Nuan's hand and said softly, "Little sister, I wronged you before, please don't blame me."

Are you reconciled now? He was gloating just now. Su Nuan couldn't believe it.

But if you think about it carefully, the only rift between the two is that the original body ruined Xia Qingyao's plan to marry Mu Yunshu. Now that their marriage is in sight, it is not surprising that Xia Qingyao's attitude towards her has changed.

"Sister, what are you talking about? How could I hate you? Sisters should not say such estranged words to each other."

Although this sister was blinded by love, she was not a wicked person. She did not do anything excessive even though she was treated like that by the original body. Su Nuan was willing to get along well with her.

Moreover, when she returned to the general's mansion today, she truly felt the warmth of family love, and her heart seemed to be reassured all of a sudden.

She felt that she was no longer "pretending" to be Xia Qingyan in front of the Xia family. She had truly become one with Xia Qingyan and a part of this family.

"Sister, have you really decided to marry Mu Yunshu?"

Su Nuan's mind unconsciously emerged the scene where Mu Yunshu confessed his love to her on the day of the flower viewing banquet at the Prince's Mansion.

Xia Qingyao showed a sweet smile on her face and gently stroked her lower abdomen with one hand.

No answer is worth a thousand words.

Yu said, "My eldest sister and the prince love each other. If it weren't for Prince Yongping's interference, they would have been married long ago. A perfect couple was almost torn apart. Fortunately, with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the marriage is halfway done."

Madam Xia said, "Yes, our Xia family must remember the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"..."

Su Nuan disagreed. In the final analysis, it was the emperor who caused all this. Mu Yunting facilitated the marriage between Xia Qingyao and Mu Yunshu, which was at most a way to cover up his father, the emperor.

Breaking up a couple! This is so inconsistent with Mu Yunshu's confession at the flower viewing banquet!

Su Nuan carefully recalled Mu Yunshu's behavior that day, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
