I just want to live a good life

On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Su Nuan was thinking about Cui Shaoyuan's death, but her mind was in a mess and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

It was already evening when the carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion. Su Nuan saw from afar through the window that Mu Yunting's carriage was parked in front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion. She asked the coachman to stop and waited until Mu Yunting walked into the gate before she let the carriage move forward.

Xia Qingyao asked her to ask Mu Yunting for help, but she was in a mess and hadn't figured out how to ask Mu Yunting for help.

Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju in a depressed mood. For the first time, she did not complain of hunger. She asked Chunliu to help her prepare hot water so that she could take a hot bath.

Baozhu came to her with the orchid in her arms, "My Lady, look, it's blooming!"

Su Nuan thought the orchid's green petals were very delicate, and after looking at them for a few more times, her mood became much better. But she suddenly remembered that Mr. Yue was going back to his hometown, and her face, which had just been smiling, wrinkled again.

She had a business deal with Mr. Yue that she had not yet completed: this orchid and eighty pots of roses. This time when he returned to his hometown, he would definitely not want the eighty pots of roses.

Although Su Nuan had cheated a lot of money from Ruiyin Building and Cheng Ansu, she was unwilling to lose a few dozen taels of silver.

No, she has to finish this deal as soon as possible, she muttered to herself, and at the moment she had no intention of admiring the orchid.

After praising Baozhu, Su Nuan hurriedly told Bitao and Baozhu to prepare the roses and send them to Yue Yuanwai early the next morning.

After giving the instructions, she went back to her room to take a bath.

The first time she took a bath in a tub, she fell in love with this way of bathing. Soaking herself in the hot water, the fatigue in her body disappeared instantly.

Su Nuan was really tired that day, especially after going to the Xia family's old house. She felt that her brain cells were almost not enough. She felt that she was not a smart person and she could not solve such a brain-burning case.

Su Nuan sighed softly and said to herself, "Why not just forget it? Even if this matter has something to do with Xia Qingyan, it has nothing to do with me. I'll just live my life and don't care how they died."

Su Nuan slowly lay down in the bathtub filled with steam and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Tell me, where is the thing?" the man in gray asked in a hoarse voice.

"Don't worry about it, I won't tell you." Cui Shaoyuan said.

"If you don't want to tell me, don't blame me for being rude."

The gray-clothed man stretched out his hand and grabbed Cui Shaoyuan's neck, saying viciously: "You don't want to tell me, so you think I can't do anything? I will kill you first, and then kill your mother, and then burn your place down, and it will be over once and for all."

Cui Shaoyuan's eyes showed fear, and he struggled to say, "Don't touch my mother. She has nothing to do with this matter. The things are not with her."

"Where is that?"

"Yes, in Xia Qingyan's hands."

Su Nuan suddenly woke up from her dream. It was the dream about Cui Shaoyuan being killed, but this dream contained more information than the previous one.

What is the man in gray asking Cui Shaoyuan for?

Is that thing really in Xia Qingyan’s hands?

Su Nuan quickly got up from the bathtub, put on her clothes and hurried out of the room.

"Bitao, Bitao." Su Nuan shouted loudly.

Bi Tao ran up to her and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"What did I bring with me when I married into the Prince's Mansion?" Su Nuan asked anxiously.

"Is it your dowry that the young lady is talking about?"

Su Nuan shook her head, then nodded, "Not only the dowry, but everything I brought from the general's mansion, bring it to me."

Bi Tao asked curiously, "Miss, what do you want those things for?"

Su Nuan said anxiously, "Just go and get it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

This was probably the first time that Su Nuan got angry with Bi Tao after traveling through time. Bi Tao was stunned, not daring to say anything more, and ran out again.

A moment later, Bitao dragged a wooden box to Su Nuan's room with difficulty.

"Miss, these are all brought out from your room. The dowry that Madam prepared for you is stored in the treasury of the Prince's Mansion. I can't get it out. Do you want me to find Steward Ding and ask him for it in person?"

As soon as Su Nuan saw the box, she rushed over and opened the lid, saying, "Are you sure that the things stored in the treasury are the dowry that my mother prepared for me?"

"Sure! It's full of silver, a big box! Miss, do you want silver for business again?"

Su Nuan did not answer Bi Tao, her attention was focused on the wooden box in front of her.

The wooden box was not big and there were not many things inside. Su Nuan took out the things one by one and placed them on the table.

A small bow the size of a palm and a one-foot-long wooden sword, both of which were toys for children; a faded purse that was quite old; and a handkerchief embroidered with two ugly ducks. Su Nuan suspected that the embroidery was done by Xia Qingyan.

The "junk" were taken out one by one, and the wooden box was almost empty, but these things did not look like what the man in gray was looking for.

After Su Nuan took out a rusty iron sword from the bottom of the box, her disappointment was beyond words.

"Bi Tao, think about it again. Did I hide anything valuable when I was in the General's Mansion?"

Bi Tao didn't understand what was going on, so she replied, "Aren't these the young lady's valuables?"

Hearing this, Su Nuan looked at the things on the table with an indescribable expression.

The man in gray must be looking for something important. Would Cui Shaoyuan really give such a thing to the naive Xia Qingyan?

Thinking carefully about the situation in the dream, Su Nuan suddenly wondered if Cui Shaoyuan just wanted to shift the blame to someone else and make Xia Qingyan the scapegoat for his mother?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and her expression became uglier and uglier.

At this moment, Meixiang ran in and said happily, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you over."

After saying that, she glanced at the pile of "junk" on the table and asked casually, "Madam, what are these?"

Su Nuan replied unhappily: "This is my treasure! Bi Tao, keep it for me."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and walked out, mumbling, "You're not there when I want to see you, and you're asking me to come when I don't want to see you. It's so annoying!"

"What's wrong with the queen today? She doesn't seem very happy." Meixiang asked Bitao quietly as she watched Su Nuan leaving.

Bi Tao shook her head, "I don't know, maybe I'm tired."

"By the way, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to see my young lady?"

Meixiang replied, "I heard that Master Lou is here, and he seems to want to learn from the queen about playing the zither."

"Ah?" Bi Tao was surprised. "Master Lou really wants to compete with my young lady in piano skills?"

"Yes!"

"But the lady can't play the piano!"

"what!"
