I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan was forcibly sent back to the Prince's Mansion.

She sat in front of the flower bed and sulked for a while, until Cai Ya came and informed her of something, her mood improved.

Ever since Ying Shu left the Prince's Mansion, Su Nuan often asked Cai Ya to go to the shop to check out the situation in the shop in order to understand the situation and help her pass messages to Ying Shu.

Today, Cai Ya brought the news that Ying Shu asked him to convey: all the shops on Su Nuan's two streets have been rented out according to the previous plan, and the rent is 30% more than previously estimated.

Ying Shu also proposed to meet with Su Nuan to discuss the next money-making plan.

Su Nuan cares most about making money. If it wasn't so late today, she would have summoned Ying Shu immediately.

If you think carefully about the sudden attack outside the city today, it is not difficult to see that this was a play by Mu Yunting and Ye Yin, and the purpose was probably to catch those men in black in one fell swoop.

Judging from today's battle situation, there should be no escapees among the men in black, so there will be no danger for her to go out in the future. Thinking of this, Su Nuan decided to go to Zhusheng Street in person tomorrow.

After sending Cai Ya away, Su Nuan waited for Mu Yunting to return home, hoping to find out about the assassin from him, but she had to wait until late at night.

"My queen, please go to bed first. It's so late and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably won't be back."

Meixiang brought a cup of strong tea to Su Nuan.

Su Nuan took the cup of tea and took a sip. The rich tea aroma filled her mouth and instantly drove away her sleepiness.

"Meixiang, your tea-making skills are getting better and better. I can't sleep, so why don't you teach me how to make tea now?"

"If the Concubine wants to drink tea, just tell me to make it. Why bother yourself?"

"That's different. Sometimes I want to make myself a cup of delicious tea."

"The Concubine wants to learn how to make tea for His Highness."

"..."Su Nuan suddenly fell silent. She found that she did have such thoughts in her subconscious mind. This discovery made her very helpless.

"The Concubine has fallen in love with His Highness!" Meixiang continued.

"Who said I was attracted to him?" Su Nuan looked unhappy. "He treated me like that, how could I be attracted to him?"

Seeing that Su Nuan was unhappy, Meixiang quickly lowered her head and dared not speak anymore.

Su Nuan had no interest in continuing to learn how to make tea, so she sent Mei Xiang away.

Su Nuan couldn't sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed, and the scene of Mu Yunting abandoning her and dodging hidden arrows on his own kept flashing through her mind.

The more she thought about the scene, the more agitated she became. Finally, she could not bear it any longer, so she got up, put on her clothes, sneaked out of Duiyueju, and came to Wangyue Tower.

Today is not a full moon, the stars in the sky are shining, and the moon is much dimmer.

The summer night breeze, carrying the sound of cicadas, blew in, gradually calming Su Nuan's irritable mood.

She was a smart woman, and if she thought carefully she could figure out the real reason why she was restless that night.

She didn't blame Mu Yunting for abandoning her when he was in danger. She just judged from this action that she was insignificant in his heart.

And this is what really bothers Su Nuan. Since when did she start to care so much about her importance in Mu Yunting's heart?

She sat in the Moon-Watching Tower and thought all night long, but she still didn't figure it out until the sky turned pale.

After a sleepless night, Su Nuan felt a little tired. She returned to Duiyueju and fell asleep on the bed.

At the same time, in the prince's villa, Mu Yunting was sitting in the cell watching the guards interrogate the prisoner, who was none other than the man in black whom they had captured at the foot of Buyi Mountain.

After a night of interrogation, the prisoner still hadn't spoken. Perhaps he was tired of sitting, so Mu Yunting stood up and stretched his muscles. With a little impatience, he asked Ye Yin beside him: "How is the person who shot the arrow?"

"Your Highness, the man hasn't woken up yet. I've sent someone to get Imperial Physician Yao."

"You are usually very good at what you do, so why did you hit him so hard?" Mu Yunting's tone was filled with blame.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The situation was urgent at the time, and I was afraid that if I was too gentle, the Concubine would be in danger."

When talking about the concubine, Mu Yunting fell silent.

After a while, Ye Yin asked tentatively: "I used the Concubine as bait yesterday. Would the Concubine be unhappy?"

"Why is she unhappy? I am acting as bait with her!"

"But the Concubine is a woman after all. She must be scared after seeing what happened yesterday."

"If it weren't for you, hiding behind you, I wouldn't have seen her show any sign of fear!"

Mu Yunting's words sounded sour, and Ye Yin found it funny, but he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

At this time, Tracer came to report that the assassin who shot the arrow had woken up.

This assassin was a coward. After waking up and being threatened by Tracer, he confessed.

He called himself Shadow Nineteen and took orders from a man called Shadow Wolf.

About four months ago, on the wedding night, the mysterious Shadow Wolf sent a killer named Ying Shisan to sneak into the Prince's Mansion and assassinate the Prince's concubine Xia Qingyan. However, the next day, he unexpectedly discovered that Xia Qingyan was not dead. So Shadow Wolf ordered Ying Shisan to be killed to silence her, but Ying Shisan escaped.

Later, Ying Shisan tried to approach Xia Qingyan, but was discovered by Ying Lang, so he sent out his eight best masters to hunt down Ying Shisan. Unexpectedly, these people mistakenly entered the Prince's villa and met Ye Yin, and three of them were killed by Ye Yin.

Yinglang didn't dare to confront the prince head-on, and was afraid that Ying Shisan would get close to Xia Qingyan and say something unfavorable to them, so he had to send someone to monitor Xia Qingyan secretly.

So there was the scene on Zhusheng Street. They successfully killed Ying Shisan, but were spotted by Falcon and Liefeng who followed Xia Qingyan, so they simply led the two to Buyi Mountain outside the city and killed them to silence them.

But after injuring the two men, a more vicious plan emerged. Shadow Wolf's men used Falcon and the other two to pass messages and lure Ye Yin into their trap. They wanted to join forces to kill Ye Yin to avenge their companions. However, they underestimated Ye Yin's strength and failed to kill him.

Instead, he fell into Ye Yin's trap when he was trying to assassinate Xia Qingyan yesterday.

Ying Shijiu's confession explained what happened very clearly, but he did not say why Ying Lang wanted to kill Xia Qingyan.

Mu Yunting couldn't figure out what kind of hatred there was that made him want to kill Xia Qingyan. And if he wanted to kill her, why didn't he do it before she married into the Prince's Mansion? The General's Mansion didn't have as strong a defense as the Prince's Mansion. Wouldn't it be easier to kill Xia Qingyan then?

Therefore, these people did not choose to take action before Xia Qingyan married into the Prince's Mansion. The most likely possibility was that they did not want to kill her before that. In other words, Xia Qingyan had not done anything that would force people to kill her before that.

So what did Xia Qingyan do before the wedding?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunting's expression suddenly changed. Then he called Ye Yin over, sent everyone away, and asked Ye Yin to do something.
