I just want to live a good life

Chapter 548 Women all fall for this

There was only a small bench and a wooden bed in the room for people to rest. The bed looked quite tidy. Su Nuan stood in front of it and thought for a long time whether to sit on it. Finally, she gave up. She picked up the small bench and found a bright place to sit down.

With a sigh in her heart, Su Nuan hoped that Mu Yunting could find her before dark, otherwise where would she sleep at night when there was only one bed in the room? She didn't want to sleep in the same bed with this saint.

While she was daydreaming, she saw Xiao Qionghua glancing at her out of the corner of her eye. Su Nuan thought it was ridiculous and looked back at him openly.

After staring at Xiao Qionghua for a while, Su Nuan said, "Xiao Qionghua, I'm hungry."

"What did you call me?"

Xiao Qionghua asked with a frown.

"What? Did you call me the wrong name?"

"Didn't your parents teach you to be polite to others?"

"I did, but I didn't say you should be polite to your enemies."

Xiao Qionghua glared at Su Nuan speechlessly, pointed at the table, and said, "The food is there."

Su Nuan looked over and saw an oilcloth paper bag. She walked over and opened the bag. There were a few snacks inside. Judging from the prints on them, they were from the store she often bought from.

"I want to eat the one that's not drugged."

"This is it without any drugs." Xiao Qionghua said unhappily.

Su Nuan took a piece, but after thinking about it, she put it back. She should be careful when with this woman.

Seeing that she was still not eating snacks, Xiao Qionghua asked, "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat?"

Su Nuan rewrapped the snack and replied, "I'm worried about you."

"Have you always been this cautious?"

"Not really, but my intuition tells me that I have to be careful with you."

Xiao Qionghua stared at Su Nuan for a while, then lowered her head to fiddle with her medicine.

"Are these medicines of yours meant to save lives or harm them?" Su Nuan asked again.

"If you want to know, try it yourself."

"We can't have a good conversation if you do this."

"Can you talk to your enemies properly?"

"Why not? We're not fighting each other. There are only two of us in this room. It would be awkward if we didn't talk."

Seeing that Xiao Qionghua didn't respond, Su Nuan continued, "Are you really Xiao Qionghua, the Saintess of the former Fanli Dynasty?"

"You do not believe?"

"I don't believe it. The ages don't match."

"How to say?"

Xiao Qionghua finally raised his head and asked in confusion.

"Twenty years ago you were nineteen, so you should be nearly forty now. But I see you have fair skin and a slim figure, so you look like you're in your twenties. The age difference is too big."

Su Nuan saw that Xiao Qionghua's lips unconsciously curled up when she heard "fair skin and slim body", and laughed in her heart, thinking that women really fall for this.

Of course, she didn't mean to be wrong when she said this. In her twenties was a bit of an exaggeration, but this woman was really well maintained and looked four or five years younger than her actual age.

"Whether you believe it or not, I am Xiao Qionghua."

This is like turning on the conversation switch.

Su Nuan smiled faintly and continued, "Can you introduce me to any delicious specialties you have in Fanli? Let me tell you, my biggest hobby is eating, and I like to cook it myself. I have a cook in my mansion who makes delicious food for me every day in different ways. Her cooking skills are really comparable to those of the imperial chefs in the palace. Xinyi has eaten her cooking, so if you don't believe me, you can ask her. Tell me about Fanli's delicacies, and I'll let the cook learn from you later."

"If you want to eat Fanli delicacies, you don't need to ask the cook to teach you how to eat them. Just follow me back to Fanli and you'll be able to enjoy them soon."

Xiao Qionghua looked at Su Nuan and smiled meaningfully, which made Su Nuan feel uncomfortable. She pretended to be calm and continued, "You want to use me to threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but if you send me to Fanli, how can you threaten him? Are you going to threaten him to go with you?"

"This is my business, you don't have to worry about it."

"Although this is your business, it is directly related to me. It's not too much for me to know. Besides, I'm in your hands and can't run away. What's the harm in letting me know your plan?"

"I heard you're good at tricking people, don't bother trying. I won't fall for it."

"Did Zhao Zong tell you that I could trick people?"

Xiao Qionghua snorted lightly as a response.

Su Nuan continued, "Don't believe him. What kind of tricks were I using? I just tricked myself into believing Xiao Bai and letting him sneak into the Prince's Mansion. It's a pity that he fell into the hands of Prince Guang'an in order to save Leng Yue. Are he and Leng Yue a couple?"

"They are brother and sister."

"what?"

Su Nuan's jaw dropped. She had thought the two were accomplices and lovers, but she had never considered them siblings. After quickly digesting the news, she hurriedly asked, "Is Xiaobai also Xun Yu's son?"

Hearing Xun Yu's name, Xiao Qionghua showed disgust and replied coldly with two words: "No."

Su Nuan was a little confused about the relationship. Leng Yue was Xun Yu's illegitimate daughter and Ye Xiaobai's sister, but Ye Xiaobai was not Xun Yu's son. Could it be that they had different fathers but the same mother?

She asked this question.

Then Xiao Qionghua said, "You think this way because you think Leng Yue is Xun Yu's daughter."

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. How could Xun Yu be worthy of having children alive today?"

There was a great deal of hatred in these words. Su Nuan didn't try to guess where this hatred came from for the time being, and continued, "But Leng Yue and Xun Zheng look so similar..."

"Xun Zheng? The little beauty who was once famous in the imperial city, or the fake one who deceived His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Su Nuan's mind, "That fake Xun Zheng isn't Xun Yu's daughter either?"

"You're not too stupid to guess that."

"But why do they all look like Xun Zheng?"

Su Nuan had a vague answer in her heart, but it was too absurd and she didn't dare to say it out loud.
