I just want to live a good life
Chapter 43 The name was not chosen with care
Just as Su Nuan stared at the driver and asked about his true identity, Yue Yuanwai walked out from the inner hall.
"Mr. Su, I've been waiting for a long time!" Yue Yuanwai said as soon as he came out, "Mr. Su's suggestion of delivering the goods in batches is fine, and today's twenty pots of flowers don't have to be counted as gifts. I want a hundred pots of flowers, not one more. There is just one thing. One of my orchids is 90% dead. This orchid is my favorite. If Mr. Su can bring it back to life, our previous business can continue. In addition, I will give Mr. Su an extra 100 taels of silver as a reward for raising flowers."
Su Nuan naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. She had Baozhu, a flower-growing genius, so a dead orchid was nothing. At most, she could find a plant of the same variety in the flower garden of the Prince's Mansion and give it to him.
However, one can't be too sure about anything. It would be even more difficult if one fails to do it when the time comes. Besides, it is possible that this is a trap set by the other party, so she'd better be cautious.
"I can't guarantee that I can keep Mr. Yue's orchid alive. If I kill it, I can't afford the compensation."
Mr. Yue said, "Mr. Su, you are joking. If I keep this flower, it will die in a few days. If you kill it, I will just regard it as my own death. I will not ask you to pay for it. But our transaction of the 100 pots of flowers will come to an end. You just need to return the deposit to me."
Su Nuan got a headache just thinking about the twenty taels of silver deposit. Even if she told others about the fact that the prince's concubine had to grow flowers for others because she couldn't afford the twenty taels of silver, no one would believe it.
After thinking it over, Su Nuan felt that it was still worth a try to grow flowers. Even if the flowers died, at most her current situation would be the same. At most, she could quickly open her own cake shop during this period of time, and return the deposit to the owner when she made some money.
"Okay, it's settled. Please ask Mr. Yue to bring out the orchids."
Seeing that Su Nuan agreed readily, Yue Yuanwai seemed to be relieved. He quickly returned to the inner hall, took out a pot of half-dead orchid and handed it to Su Nuan.
Then he called a few servants to follow Su Nuan to move the flowers in the carriage into the yard.
Today's negotiation went unexpectedly smoothly. After Su Nuan got on the carriage, she handed the orchid in her hand to Baozhu, "This pot of flowers is now in your hands. Take care of it. It is worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver."
Baozhu was flattered and held the flower pot. After examining it carefully for a while, she said, "This flower pot is already 90% dead. It's not easy to keep it alive."
Su Nuan said, "Just do your best. From today on, you don't have to do any work at the Moon House. Just focus on taking care of it."
Just as Su Nuan and his group left, a gentle young man walked out of the inner hall of the Yue Mansion's reception room.
"I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take such a fancy to Concubine Xia that he would even use his personal guards as her coachmen."
"Master, you said that the driver just now was Ye Yin?"
"That's right. Although he has changed his appearance, his aura that is different from that of an ordinary person cannot be concealed."
"But I heard that the prince is a homosexual and he is not nice to this new concubine!"
"Uncle Yue, why can't you remember that you are now the master of this manor, not an 'old slave' anymore. If you accidentally let it slip, it will bring disaster to us."
Mr. Wenrun's tone turned stern.
Yue lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I will remember this."
Master Wenrun shook his head helplessly after hearing what he said, "Since Ye Yin has come today, I'm afraid this manor is no longer safe."
"Then I will escort you out of the city now."
"No need. If you dare to provoke the Crown Prince's concubine, this day will come. I will move to the servants' quarters from today on. But Uncle Yue must remember that I am just your distant cousin who is staying here temporarily. Don't be too polite when talking to me!"
When he said this, Mr. Wenrun's expression became solemn.
At the same time, Su Nuan also had a serious expression on her face.
Through the conversation with the coachman, she already knew who the man driving her carriage was. No wonder she felt he looked familiar in the morning. Now that she thought about it, that face was definitely that of the elusive figure.
Knowing his identity, I pay more attention to what he says.
He could see that there was something wrong with Mr. Yue, so there must be something wrong.
Thinking about the generous conditions offered by Mr. Yue, Su Nuan was almost certain that he was coming for her.
Although she dressed as a man, Bitao had never concealed her identity. Anyone who was interested could find out that Bitao was Xia Qingyan's maid with just a little investigation. Then, when she appeared as Bitao's master, her identity was obvious.
But what was the purpose of this Mr. Yue approaching me? Was he here just for Xia Qingyan, or for the position of the Crown Prince's concubine?
Su Nuan's eyes were fixed on the curtain on the carriage, and her gaze gradually became firm.
There was a peerless master outside protecting her, so what was there to be afraid of? If Mr. Yue really wanted to harm her, she would be caught off guard in the open, so she might as well take advantage of the opportunity for him to contact her to earn some money from him, and by the way, see what his purpose was.
As the spring days grew warmer, the curtain on the carriage had been replaced with a transparent material. Su Nuan could clearly see the figure outside whipping the carriage, and a cunning smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her mouth.
They returned safely to the Prince's Mansion. When Su Nuan got off the carriage, she said to the driver, "You don't have to take the carriage back. I need to change my clothes and go out. You just wait here."
The driver just replied "yes" and didn't say much.
When Su Nuan was almost at the door, she suddenly turned around and asked the driver: "By the way, what's your name?"
"Zhang San."
Su Nuan suppressed her laughter and complained in her heart: "The name was chosen with such carelessness."
"Okay, Zhang San, you performed very well today. From now on, you will be the one driving the car for me when I go out. Do your best, and I will not treat you unfairly."
After speaking in a pretentious manner, Su Nuan walked into the house without looking back, leaving the coachman alone and disheveled in the wind.
Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju and quickly changed out of her men's clothes. She asked Bitao to help her find a very gorgeous dress to change into, and then put on all the remaining pieces of jewelry she had for show.
Finally, she ran to the mirror, looked at herself from front to back and left to right, and felt that she had the energy to be rich. Then she lifted her skirt and hurried to the side door.
The carriage was indeed parked there, and the driver was sitting obediently on the shaft waiting for her.
Seeing her coming out, the driver quickly stood up to welcome her into the carriage and asked, "Where is your Highness going this time?"
Su Nuan replied: "Go to UBS Building."
This Ruiyin Building is the largest silver shop in the imperial city. Today, Su Nuan is going to visit this silver shop in the capacity of the Crown Prince's concubine.
