I just want to live a good life

Chapter 449 Sell for money

When the rumor reached Mu Yunting's ears, he was in the Xun family's old house, accompanying Xun Zheng to visit the garden.

The newly renovated garden no longer resembles what it used to be, and Mu Yunting felt mixed emotions as he walked around.

At this moment, a conversation between two servants about Concubine Xia chasing her brother came accurately into his ears.

Mu Yunting didn't believe that his concubine would do such a thing. There must be some purpose behind it, maybe just pretending to please outsiders.

But he also kind of hoped that this was true. How miserable Xia Changxiao would have to be if he was chased and beaten by his own sister. If he could see this scene with his own eyes, he would laugh at him for the rest of his life.

"Sister Xia is such a wonderful person, she can do such a thing."

As soon as Xun Zheng said these words with three parts of sarcasm and seven parts of teasing, Mu Yunting's face unconsciously darkened. Even if he adjusted himself quickly, it was still difficult not to be noticed.

Xun Zheng was slightly startled when she saw him. Mu Yunting said in a deep voice, "Why are your people spreading such rumors? You are about to become the mistress of the Prince's Mansion. Don't you care about the reputation of the Prince's Mansion?"

"It's my fault for not disciplining me properly. Your Highness, please don't be angry."

Xun Zheng said this in a wronged tone, but she was obviously relieved.

Mu Yunting was unhappy because the reputation of the Prince's Mansion was damaged, not because of Xia Qingyan. She just said that it was impossible for a mere Xia Qingyan to be so favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

I spoil her only because I have no better choice.

Now that he has me, Xia Qingyan is no different from an ordinary woman to the prince. The reason why the prince still protects Xia Qingyan is just to maintain the face of the prince's mansion.

The servant who gossiped about Concubine Xia was scolded, and Xun Zheng and Mu Yunting continued to tour the garden.

"I never thought the garden of Xun Mansion was so big before."

Mu Yunting said.

"I had all the tall trees in the garden cut down, and it looks much more spacious. Perhaps it is because of this that Your Highness feels that the garden is larger."

"Is that so?" Mu Yunting looked at Xun Zheng with his bright eyes.

The latter was shocked by what he saw, and instantly showed a sad look, and replied: "Perhaps it's because there are too few people and it's too deserted, making this garden seem particularly empty."

These words added a bit of sadness to Mu Yunting's face.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and seemed to be lost in reminiscing about the past.

After a long while, Mu Yunting spoke first: "This old house is almost repaired. You can move back after the New Year. I think the teacher hopes that you can get married here."

"Your Highness, I'm not going to tell you that A Zheng will also be saying goodbye to you in the next two days. I've been away from home for so many years, and I want to spend the first year after returning here."

Seeing Mu Yunting looking over, Xun Zheng continued, "It's against the rules to come back for the New Year after you get married."

"Okay." Mu Yunting said calmly, "But you never cared about the rules before."

Xun Zheng replied: "People always change. Besides, after going through so much over the years, my little personality has long been smoothed out."

The two sighed again.

Mu Yunting spoke again: "Let's find some time to go and pay respect to the teacher. There are some things we should go to his grave to comfort him."

Xun Zheng replied lightly with a "yes", with endless tenderness on her face.

Snowflakes began to float in the sky. Mu Yunting looked back at Xun Zheng with a deep gaze. It was hard to tell whether he was looking at her face or looking at the memories that could never be returned through the falling snowflakes.

Su Nuan sat in the carriage, still thinking about what her elder brother had said to her.

First sentence: Be careful of Ye Xiaobai.

Second sentence: The prince is a person worthy of trust.

"Miss, we have arrived at the teahouse."

Ye Xiaobai's voice came from outside. Su Nuan put away her thoughts and slowly got off the carriage.

The three of them entered Piaoxiang Tea House.

Su Qingmo was entertaining guests, and the waiter led Su Nuan and the other two into the backyard.

Chu Qi and Song Qi were also here. Ever since Su Qingmo took over Piaoxiang Tea House, this place had become their base camp. Song Qi would stay here when he had nothing to do. Although he still didn't talk much, Su Nuan could see that he was gradually integrating into these people.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Su Nuan always believed this.

Falcon and Zhu Mingliang had been waiting for a long time and were still discussing the formula for firing colored glass. When Su Nuan entered the room, she heard them discussing how to fire colored glass.

"You have only learned a little bit, don't show off here. It is not that easy to make colored glass."

Zhu Mingliang acted like a master, but Falcon was not angry. He retorted, "You are the only one who thinks it is difficult. You are unwilling to give it a try. I will try it myself. When I can burn colored glass, I will teach you. Then we are even."

"How can this be fair? You just added some raw materials to make colored glass. The firing process I taught you is all my expertise."

"How are they different? They both teach skills."

Zhu Mingliang was about to retort, but was interrupted by Su Nuan who pushed the door open.

"Miss."

Falcon's voice was filled with joy, "The glass bracelet is done!"

After that, he carefully took out the brocade box from his arms and handed it to Su Nuan, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Su Nuan opened the brocade box and a string of transparent glass beads lay in the box.

She took out the glass string and compared it with the one on her wrist. They were exactly the same in shape and color, so she simply put the one that Falcon brought on her wrist as well.

The two bracelets appeared on Su Nuan's wrist together. It was difficult to tell the difference between the two bracelets with the naked eye.

Su Nuan curled the corners of her lips, and under the gazes of several people, she took off the bracelet that Mu Yunting had given her from her wrist and put it into the box.

Said: "Finally, the bracelet was made before the New Year, otherwise such a good thing would have been sent to Xun Zheng."

Falcon asked in confusion: "Isn't this a gift from His Highness to the Queen? Why did he give it to Miss Xun?"

"I borrowed this from His Highness."

Su Nuan replied.

She was not lying. She had agreed with Mu Yunting that the bracelet was borrowed by her.

The three words "borrowed to wear" are very spiritual, meaning that the bracelet was not originally intended to be given to her, but just for her to wear.

Who was it originally intended for? The Crown Princess that His Royal Highness was about to marry was naturally the first choice.

So Su Nuan only said this one sentence and everyone understood what she meant. This bracelet was intended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be given to the future Crown Princess Miss Xun during the New Year, but for some reason Concubine Xia saw it in advance and borrowed it to wear for a few days.

Although this doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it, but since the real owner said so, how could it be false?

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Su Nuan handed the brocade box containing Mu Yunting's glass bracelet to Song Qi.

Just when Song Qi was confused, Su Nuan said, "Send it to Shopkeeper Chen and ask him to secretly find a buyer to sell it for 50,000 taels."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, even Song Qi's calm face was filled with surprise.

Falcon was the first to be unable to hold back and asked, "My Lady, that is your Highness's colored glass bracelet. Are you selling it just like that?"

"What else? Keep it and give it to Miss Xun?" Su Nuan asked back.

"It would be fine if you could just give Miss Xun a fake one. Aren't you going to keep the one given by His Highness?" Falcon asked carefully.

"Why keep it? It was just lent to me. Besides, can I wear it outside if I keep it?"

The falcon choked and sent the fake one back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who then gave it to Miss Xun. Then Concubine Xia could no longer wear the real one.

It's better to sell the good stuff for money if you can't show it to others.

But no matter how I think about it, this matter feels awkward.
