I just want to live a good life

The warm spring sun shone on her body, and Su Nuan couldn't help but stretch.

Looking at the garden taking shape, she felt extremely happy.

The current garden was created with all her effort for the flower-viewing banquet, and every scene took a lot of her effort.

She must achieve a stunning effect at this flower viewing banquet, and she wants to use this flower viewing banquet to attract business for herself. No matter in which time and space, she thinks it is better to rely on herself than on others, and having money is the kingly way.

"My lady, please take a break. Baozhu and I can handle the rest of the work."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go to the front to see how the rose wall is going."

Su Nuan brushed the dirt off her skirt and walked towards the rose wall.

But when I walked outside the rose wall, I saw Chunliu covering the flower wall with a curtain.

"What are you doing?" Su Nuan asked in confusion.

Chunliu replied, "I'll cover all of this up! The flower viewing party is still three days away, and we can't let anyone see all of this that we worked so hard to arrange!"

Su Nuan said, "There's no need to do this. The flower viewing banquet we carefully prepared is for people to see. Showing it to the people in the mansion in advance can also allow them to give some opinions."

"What do those servants know? They can only serve others, how can they appreciate such a view?"

Su Nuan looked at Chun Liu in surprise and said seriously, "Everyone has the right to appreciate beauty. What does this have to do with their status? Besides, you are one of them, how can you say such a thing!"

Chunliu was so ashamed that she lowered her head and dared not speak anymore.

Su Nuan stepped forward and tore open the curtains with her own hands.

At this moment, Bi Tao ran over in a panic, "Miss, Miss, another big business has come to your door."

"Anyone wants to buy flowers again?"

"Yes, miss, this is a big deal. The other party said through Mr. Chen from the teahouse that he plans to buy 100 flowers and asked if we could prepare some varieties with bright flowers."

"Have you discussed the price? What is the other party's budget?"

"I haven't discussed this yet. Boss Chen is worried that we can't come up with so many flowers at once, so he asked me to come back and ask first. If possible, we can arrange a time to discuss in detail."

Su Nuan looked at the wall of roses blooming in full bloom in front of her and smiled.

The flower-viewing banquet will be held in three days. As soon as the banquet is over, she can pick hundreds of flowers from this flower wall. A mere hundred flowers will be no problem.

"Bitao, go tell Boss Chen that we have as many flowers as he wants and ask him to help arrange a meeting with the other party."

Bitao took the order and left happily, and Su Nuan also happily went to check out other sights.

No one noticed Chunliu's resentful look.

The next day, Su Nuan changed into the men's clothes again and went to the teahouse to keep the appointment. This time, it was still her and Bi Tao alone, but before leaving, she deliberately took a walk in the backyard.

Before, when she sold the flowers in the Prince's Mansion, she felt guilty and acted secretly, but ever since Mu Yunting stole her chicken, she wanted to sell his entire Prince's Mansion.

When Mr. Chen, the owner of the teahouse, saw Su Nuan, he was even more enthusiastic than last time and led her to a third-class room specially used to entertain wealthy businessmen.

The transaction went more smoothly than expected. The buyer was a businessman who came to the imperial city to do business. He was called Mr. Yue. He had just bought a house in the east of the city some time ago and wanted to buy some rare flowers to decorate his garden.

The price was also fair, eighty taels of silver for one hundred flowers, with Su Nuan choosing the varieties. The only requirement was that they had to look wealthy and impressive.

Su Nuan was sure to make money on this business, so she agreed immediately. The other party also gave her a deposit of 20 taels.

After the matter was accomplished, Su Nuan took Bi Tao and headed straight to the south of the city, their destination being Li Liu's home.

Li Liu died because of Su Nuan. Although she later mentioned to Mu Yunting that some compensation should be given to Li Liu's family, she didn't know whether Mu Yunting did it or not.

It was a rare day for her to go out today, so she asked for Li Liu's address before leaving, and rushed over as soon as she finished her business.

When they arrived at Li Liu's house, Su Nuan didn't dare to go in and face his family. She took out fifty taels of silver and asked Bi Tao to deliver it, while she waited outside from a distance.

Not long after Bi Tao entered, a sturdy man in gray clothes walked up to Su Nuan. Su Nuan didn't think much about it because he was dressed like an ordinary citizen.

Unexpectedly, the man in gray asked her, "Are you the prince's concubine?"

Su Nuan was shocked. She had deliberately worn men's clothes when she went out. How did this man recognize her at a glance?

She took a step back quietly and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

The gray-clothed man stepped forward and said, "Concubine Xia, you don't need to know who I am. I just have a few words to say to you. Please spare me a moment to talk."

As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Su Nuan's arm.

Su Nuan was on guard, and when she saw him reaching out to pull her, she took a few steps back. As she stepped back, the mole on the gray-clothed man's wrist caught her attention.

In an instant, her memories surged, and the scene before her original self, Xia Qingyan, was strangled to death appeared before her eyes.

The image of this gray-clothed man gradually overlapped with the assassin in Xia Qingyan's memory.

Su Nuan's eyes suddenly widened, and an unprecedented fear came over her. "Someone, help!"

Her scream echoed throughout the street!

At the same time, Falcon and Liefeng were rushing towards Su Nuan at a high speed.

The man in gray was still trying to get close to Su Nuan, when suddenly a sword flashed and Falcon attacked him.

During the gap between the two men's fight, the man in gray dodged Falcon's sword and looked at Su Nuan. At this time, Liefeng had already protected Su Nuan.

Seeing that there was no chance to get close to Su Nuan, the man in gray gave up the fight, blocked Falcon's sword and turned to run away.

"Don't let him run away!" Su Nuan shouted loudly, and urged Lie Feng: "Go and help."

Liefeng glanced at the people who gradually gathered around to watch the fun and whispered, "No, there are too many people here. I must stay by the side of the concubine to protect her."

Seeing the falcon chasing the gray-clothed man away, Su Nuan asked Lie Feng: "Did you see that man's face clearly just now?"

Liefeng didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Su Nuan in surprise, "I only saw his profile just now, didn't the Concubine see his face clearly?"

Yes, the two of them talked to each other for a few words, and Su Nuan should have seen it clearly, but after just a few breaths, she couldn't even remember the other person's appearance, and her mind was full of the masked image.

Just when Su Nuan and Lie Feng were confused, Bi Tao ran out from Li's house.

As soon as she came out, she raised the broom in her hand and swung it at Liefeng, shouting "I'm going to fight you!"

Su Nuan quickly exclaimed: "Stop!"

But her cry was too late, as Bitao had been kicked to the ground by Liefeng.

"She's my maid, why are you kicking her?"

Liefeng looked embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't see it clearly."

"Miss, who is he?" Bitao sat on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Su Nuan stepped forward to help Bi Tao up, and reluctantly explained Lie Feng's identity to her.

When Bi Tao heard that Liefeng was the secret guard who came to protect Su Nuan, she breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Su Nuan kept thinking about what had just happened. She really wanted to know whether the man in gray really had something to say to her, or whether he wanted to trick her into a deserted place and then kill her.

After some consideration, she was more inclined to the former possibility.

So, what exactly did the man in gray want to say to her?
