I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan didn't mind letting Mr. Yue know her identity, but she still told a white lie, "Is the man you met surnamed Su? He is a young gentleman."

"Yes, it's Mr. Su."

Su Nuan nodded and said, "That's it, that's Mr. Su who's working for me."

She didn't explain why they looked alike, and Yue Yuanwai didn't ask. He said with a surprised look on his face, "I had some business dealings with Mr. Su before. I didn't expect that he would work for the concubine. What a coincidence!"

"Yeah, there's no coincidence in the world!" Su Nuan didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so she changed the subject and asked, "Why did those guys beat people just now?"

Speaking of this, Yue Yuan's face darkened. He glanced at the young man beside him who had been beaten into a pig's head and complained, "It's all my cousin's fault for meddling in other people's business. When he saw those big men pulling the young lady, he rushed forward to stop them. He let the young lady run away and ruined other people's business. Naturally, those big men would not let him go. Fortunately, the concubine came forward to save him, otherwise he would have been beaten to death here today."

"Your cousin is quite brave."

Su Nuan said calmly, looking at the beaten man again. The man was thin and weak, and no one knew where he got the courage to face those big men. Although his face was swollen, his eyes were bright and beautiful.

"What's your name?" Su Nuan asked.

"You should forgive me."

"Weren't you afraid when you rescued that young lady just now?"

Ying Shu thought for a moment and replied, "I didn't think so much at the time, but now that I think about it, I was probably afraid."

"You are very brave!" Su Nuan said, "But, seeing that you are seriously injured, you should go to the family clinic to get treatment."

After saying that, she was ready to leave.

"My Lady Concubine, please stay!"

Su Nuan turned around and saw Ying Shu kneeling down to her again. She frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ying Shu replied, "Ying Shu wants to ask the Concubine to help me find a job."

"Oh?" Su Nuan was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. "What can you do?"

"I, I can do anything. I am not afraid of any hard or tiring work. I just hope that the Concubine will give me some food to eat."

Hearing that this meant entering the Prince's Mansion, Su Nuan immediately became alert, "Mr. Yue's family business is so huge, does it still need a bite of your food? Wouldn't it be better for you to get a job with him?"

Yue Yuanwai smiled awkwardly and said, "You don't know, Concubine, my business in the capital has run into problems. Not only have I lost a lot of money, but my business opportunities have also been cut off. I will only lose money if I stay here any longer, so I'm already selling my newly bought house and will be returning to my hometown, Yicheng, at the beginning of next month. Yingshu didn't come to the imperial city just to seek refuge with me, he wanted to find his long-lost sister, so he won't go back to Yicheng with me."

"Today, my uncle and nephew came out to find a job for Ying Shu, but people disliked his thin appearance and were unwilling to hire him. Look, it's been three days, and we haven't found a job yet."

Su Nuan responded casually: "I'll keep an eye on you these few days, you guys go back and wait."

Ying Shu knelt on the ground without moving, "My Lady Concubine, I can actually do anything. When I was back home, I learned some business from my uncle. I can do accounting and so on."

Su Nuan pondered in silence. She really needed such a person. In the past few days, she had been thinking about doing a big business in the imperial city, but due to the restrictions of her status, there were some things that were not convenient for her to handle herself. If there was someone to help her take care of these things, perhaps she could save a lot of trouble.

However, she was still a little worried. After all, Ye Yin had confirmed that Mr. Yue was a suspect, so she decided to go back and ask Ye Yin first.

Ying Shu continued, "My Lady Concubine, after my cousin returned home, I was left alone in the imperial city without any relatives. If I can't find a job as soon as possible, I will have to beg for a living. Please have mercy on me!"

The pitiful way he spoke, coupled with his deformed face, immediately made Su Nuan feel pity.

"Speaking of settling accounts, I actually have a job that suits you. How about this, you go back and wait for my news. I'll have someone go to Yue Mansion to deliver a letter to you in three days."

Upon hearing this, Ying Shu's face showed joy and he kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

When Su Nuan got on the carriage, she felt a little regretful, thinking that she shouldn't have agreed to find a job for Ying Shu without investigating his background clearly.

But then she changed her mind and thought that it didn't matter if this man really had a problem. She just wanted to find someone to do the job, as long as he didn't cheat her out of money. As long as she was cautious, it wouldn't matter whether he approached her with a purpose or not.

And if this person really has a purpose in approaching her, then he will definitely do things for her in order to gain her trust.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan felt much more comfortable.

"Miss, what is it that the lady wants you to go back for?"

Bitao is a big mouth. Any news that enters her ears will come out of her mouth the next moment. For the sake of Xia Qingyao's reputation, Su Nuan decided not to tell Bitao the truth. After all, there is a spy Meixiang in her Duiyue Residence.

"Nothing, I just missed me."

"Then why did the eldest lady commit suicide? Did Prince Yongping not want to marry her?"

Su Nuan was speechless and asked, "Who told you this?"

"That's what the servants in the general's mansion said. They said that Prince Yongping abandoned the eldest lady because of his bad reputation and didn't agree with the prince marrying the eldest lady. Recently, he locked the prince at home and didn't let him go out, just to cut off his contact with the eldest lady."

Su Nuan muttered, "This Prince Yongping is really feudal. It's just that two people hugged each other and kissed. Why would he break up the couple?"

"Miss, what is feudalism?"

"that's not important!"

"But the eldest lady hugged Master Cui and...acted like that. No family would want to marry such a daughter-in-law, not to mention that it's the Yongping Wang family. They can marry any daughter-in-law!"

"In fact, what the lady did was a bit too much!"

"I think you are the one who went too far. Now you are bold enough to say that to me!"

Su Nuan pretended to be angry, but she felt very guilty inside. Bi Tao was right. Xia Qingyan had gone too far in this matter. After all, she was still her sister. She could stop her sister from being with Mu Yunshu, but she shouldn't let Cui Shaoyuan ruin her reputation.

Suddenly, the scene of Cui Shaoyuan hanging flashed in her mind, and Su Nuan realized that she had been living too comfortably recently and she had forgotten to find out the truth about Cui Shaoyuan's death.

"Bi Tao, you haven't been back to the old house to visit Mr. Li for a long time, right?"

"Why did you suddenly bring this up, young lady?"

"Since we're already out today, why don't I go back to the old house with you?"

"Really?" Bitao asked in surprise.

"Of course." Su Nuan took out a piece of silver and put it in Bi Tao's hand, "Go to the front later to buy some gifts for Mr. Li and the other people in the old house."

"Great! Thank you, Miss!"
