I just want to live a good life

When the two arrived at the scene, the Prince of Guang'an was roaring at the Princess of Guang'an.

"Don't think that you'll be done with this just because you're dead. If you dare to die, I'll expose your shameful deeds and make the Lu family lose face along with you."

On the bed, Princess Guang'an leaned against her maid, her face ashen.

"I also want to tear that actor to pieces..."

No one cares about harsh words, but in this situation, he didn't say a single word of comfort, and instead made threats in every sentence. No matter how you look at it, he was really inhuman.

"Your Highness, you may speak later. Let the doctor examine the Princess first."

Su Nuan interrupted the Prince of Guang'an.

The Prince of Guang'an snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Su Nuan's words.

In no time, the physician arrived in a hurry, carrying his medicine box.

While the doctor was taking the pulse of the Princess Consort of Guang'an, Mu Yunting pulled the Prince of Guang'an aside and asked, "Uncle, what exactly is going on?"

Su Nuan didn't follow the two, but she still listened intently.

Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, the Prince of Guang'an told Mu Yunting the truth.

A few days ago, Guang'an hosted a banquet for some friends at his residence. To liven up the atmosphere, the princess invited an opera troupe. However, the troupe leader was incredibly audacious and attempted to seduce the princess.

Today, the princess invited the opera troupe to the mansion again. Before the opera even started, her secret meeting with the troupe leader was discovered.

The Prince of Guang'an was furious and beat the opera troupe leader half to death on the spot.

Su Nuan was quite surprised to hear this. Despite the advance notice from Song Qi, she never expected that the Princess of Guang'an would actually do such a thing.

What kind of opera troupe leader could win the heart of Princess Guang'an in just a few days?

Su Nuan really wanted to meet the troupe leader, but right now she needed to comfort the Princess of Guang'an.

"you......"

Before she could even finish the word "you," the Princess of Guang'an interrupted her, "Go ahead and watch me make a fool of myself. There's no need for you to pretend to be kind here. You've always wanted to use me against the Prince, but now that I'm useless, don't come here pretending to be kind to me anymore."

That's a bit ungrateful of you.

Su Nuan was slightly taken aback. While her relationship with the Princess of Guang'an was indeed one of mutual exploitation, the Princess had saved her once in Xiaomian County, and she had always remembered this kindness, considering the Princess a friend. Now that the Princess of Guang'an was saying such things, it was clear that Su Nuan's efforts were entirely one-sided.

If it were anyone else, Su Nuan would have just watched the show, but the other person had saved her life. Even if they weren't friends, they were still her benefactors. She couldn't just stand by and do nothing when something like this happened.

So he lowered his voice and said, "No matter what happens, there is always hope. Don't do anything foolish again. Tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will do my best to help you."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Just like when you helped me in Little Mian County."

This is a great favor, and Su Nuan wanted to use it to tell Princess Guang'an that she would do her best to help her.

Princess Guang'an laughed, her eyes full of disdain. She looked at Su Nuan as if she were a fool, then beckoned to Su Nuan to come closer.

Su Nuan hesitated for a moment because of her gaze, but only hesitated for a moment before moving closer.

Then she heard the Princess Consort of Guang'an say in her ear, "I'm helping you because I can't stand seeing His Highness the Crown Prince embarrass himself by following you, and because I can't stand that vicious woman Chengxin. You think I'm helping you? You're being too presumptuous."

Su Nuan frowned at the Princess of Guang'an and replied, "I always have to repay the favor I owe you, no matter who it was for."

"Hmph, you don't have to be like that. I feel disgusted every time I have to be hypocritical with you."

Princess Guang'an said fiercely.

Su Nuan was puzzled. The original owner and this princess were six years apart in age, which didn't seem like much. However, in this timeline where women became mothers at the age of eighteen, the six-year age difference meant that the two of them had no interaction, let alone any grudges. So where did the princess of Guang'an's feelings of disgust and hatred towards her come from?

"Have I ever offended you?"

She asked tentatively, after all, she didn't have all of the original owner's memories, what if?

Princess Guang'an glanced at her disdainfully again, then turned her gaze to the Crown Prince not far away, and said in a low voice, "You are not worthy of someone like him!"

Su Nuan immediately understood where this hatred came from: it was brewing from jealousy.

It's said that the Emperor originally intended to betroth this eldest daughter of the Lu family to the Crown Prince, but the Prince of Guang'an insisted on marrying her instead. It was all just a random match made up by the Emperor; it turns out that Lu Yingyue had long harbored feelings for the Crown Prince.

She hated the Prince of Guang'an because she felt he had separated her from the Crown Prince. She hated Xun Zheng because the Prince of Guang'an's actions showed he couldn't accept another woman taking her place, so she opposed the fake Xun Zheng.

But it would be wrong for her to hate herself. Her marriage to the Crown Prince was arranged by the Emperor, so if she was to hate anyone, she should hate the Emperor.

Even so, Su Nuan could understand the Princess Consort of Guang'an. Her love for the Crown Prince and her hatred for the Prince of Guang'an had distorted the woman's rationality.

But while she understood, she had no reason not to retort when told she wasn't good enough for His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Whether I am worthy or not, I have already become the Crown Prince's concubine. But if the Prince of Guang'an had not asked for your hand in marriage back then, you might not have been able to marry him as you wished, because he did not like you."

These words were too hurtful. Su Nuan regretted it after saying them, fearing that the Princess of Guang'an might have a change of heart and try to kill herself again.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is a man of deep affection; given the circumstances back then, he would never have married anyone."

Princess Guang'an's eyes darkened with resentment; she knew what he said was true.

"Life isn't just about love; there's also family, friends, and most importantly, living a fulfilling life. We've come this far, and there are so many sights we haven't seen, so many interesting things we haven't done, and we don't even know who we'll meet in the future. Why trap yourself in a relationship you can't have?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Guang'an frowned and looked at Su Nuan, her eyes becoming confused, as if she was pondering Su Nuan's words.

Slowly, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her eyes gradually cleared. When she looked at Su Nuan again, there was no longer any hostility. She said, "I underestimated you before."
