I just want to live a good life

After Xia Qingyao left, everyone said a lot of good things about her in front of Su Nuan.

But Su Nuan remembered the rumors she heard when she first came to the General's Mansion. She had always guessed that the rumors were spread by Xia Qingyao.

Moreover, she also heard about the uproar in the city after Aunt Cui's death, but at that time she stayed in the Prince's Mansion all day, trying her best to make money, so she didn't pay attention to it.

But not caring doesn't mean she doesn't know about it. She always feels that the rumors outside are somehow related to Xia Qingyao. So she doesn't have a good impression of this sister of her original body.

However, it was not appropriate to show it in front of everyone right now, especially since everyone was speaking well of Xia Qingyao, she couldn't say much.

"Little sister, how did UBS offend you, and how did you teach them a lesson?" Yu asked, holding Su Nuan's hand.

Nie agreed, "Yes, little sister, please tell us quickly. We all want to hear it."

Su Nuan looked at Mrs. Xia and saw that she had no intention of stopping her and there was a hint of anticipation on her face, so she began to tell her about the process of forcing her to sell the jade bracelet that day.

Of course, I didn't say that I was deliberately looking for trouble.

Everyone sighed after hearing this.

"It's not entirely without benefits for my younger sister to marry into the prince's mansion. It will be easy to punish the profiteer." Yu praised.

"Yes!" Nie said, "Little sister, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very good to you. You have caused such a big disaster this time, but I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done anything to you. He can even accompany you back to the General's Mansion. If it were me who did such a big thing, I would have been divorced by Chang Yuan."

"That's right. Last time, I was cheated out of two hundred taels of silver by Ruiyin Building, and Changxiao gave me a good scolding. This time, my little sister, you have alarmed the entire imperial city." Yu said.

Su Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at such comments. In her original body's memory, the two young generals of the Xia family were both notoriously henpecked. The two sisters-in-law probably said this just to show that the prince treated them very well.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you are suffering losses outside, but I am getting the advantage outside. There is a huge difference!" Xia Changze said with a smile.

"Changze, you are so disrespectful. How can you talk to your two sisters-in-law like that?" Mrs. Xia scolded Xia Changze softly.

Although she said it was a scolding, Mrs. Xia's tone was gentle.

Xia Changze didn't care what was said.

Nie smiled and said, "Changze is right. My younger sister is better than us and has never suffered any loss outside."

As everyone was talking and laughing, a beautiful woman walked slowly towards them. Su Nuan knew that this person was Xia Lian's second wife, Xu.

The pavilion, which was filled with laughter just now, suddenly became quiet.

Xia Changze found an excuse to leave, and Yu and Nie went to prepare lunch hand in hand.

"Second Miss, long time no see!" Xu nodded to Su Nuan.

"What Second Miss? She's the Crown Prince's concubine! That's against the rules!" Madam Xia scolded, and this time her tone was quite harsh.

Xu's eyes turned red after hearing what she said. She bowed politely to Su Nuan and said, "Your Highness, I greet the Concubine!"

Su Nuan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly said, "Second Madam, there is no need to be so polite!"

After saying that, she glanced at Xu's slightly bulging belly and roughly understood why Madam Xia treated her so badly.

Normally, she should stand on Madam Xia's side, but she couldn't speak harshly to a pregnant woman.

She saw Xu quietly putting one hand on her waist and seemed to be feeling uncomfortable, so she invited her to come to the pavilion to rest.

Xu glanced at Madam Xia standing beside her, said a few polite words and then left.

After she left, Madam Xia sighed and said to Su Nuan, "Do you think I was too harsh on her?"

Su Nuan wanted to answer "no", but felt a little reluctant.

While he was hesitating, he heard Madam Xia say faintly, "General Xu died on the battlefield to save your father. Before he died, he entrusted his sister to your father to take care of. But your father took care of her and turned her into his concubine. When he brought Xu into the house, my heart was broken. Your father said that he just wanted to give Xu a shelter and had no feelings for her.

But you see, how can this be called without affection? Without affection, what is in Xu's mind? She has only been in the mansion for two years and your father has already been obsessed with her. How can I be kind to such a woman? "

Su Nuan consoled her, "Mom has five of us brothers and sisters, and my eldest and second brothers have both married and had children. Mom even has grandchildren, but Xu has nothing. Why should Mom bother with her?"

Hearing this, Madam Xia sighed softly and looked even more lonely.

Su Nuan knew in her heart that what Madam Xia cared about was that her husband was taken away from her, but living in this era and as a woman, no one could escape such a fate!

From her point of view, Xu was also a pitiful person, a concubine with no foundation. If she didn't even have a child, how desperate it would be for her to live alone in this general's mansion.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan shuddered unconsciously.

"Ah, look at how confused I am. You rarely come back, why should I tell you all these messed up things!"

Madam Xia blamed herself, then took Su Nuan's hand and asked, "Tell me honestly, have you been wronged in the Prince's Mansion?"

Su Nuan replied: "It was indeed difficult at the beginning, but now that I get along well with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, life is much better. I have enough food and clothing, and I don't lack anything."

"How is His Highness treating you?"

Su Nuan recalled the conversation in the carriage when she came here, and her heart suddenly rippled, "Don't worry, mother, His Highness treats me very well."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? If Your Highness had treated me badly, I would have come back to you to cry and complain."

Madam Xia chuckled and said, "That's right. You have never been wronged since you were a child. If the prince really treated you badly, he would have caused chaos in the prince's mansion by now."

Su Nuan was speechless.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and the topic returned to Xia Qingyao.

After much deliberation, Su Nuan decided to remind Mrs. Xia that Mu Yunshu was unreliable.

"Mother, what do you think about my sister and Prince Yongping's relationship?"

"Yao'er is deeply in love with the prince and would not marry anyone else but him. However, after that incident, her reputation has been ruined. Prince Yongping and the princess will not let her enter the house. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Su Nuan asked curiously.

Madam Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "Nothing. Anyway, there will be no result between the two of them."

Su Nuan was curious, what could make Xia Qingyao marry Mu Yunshu, but seeing that Madam Xia didn't want to talk about it, she didn't force it, put away her curiosity, and said to Madam Xia: "The prince is not a person worthy of trust. Sister was blinded by his appearance. I hope she can recognize the prince's character as soon as possible, let go of her obsession, and find a good match."

Hearing this, Madam Xia looked at Su Nuan in surprise, "So, you have let him go?"

Su Nuan was stunned by the question, but then she understood, because her original body, Xia Qingyan, also liked Mu Yunshu, so Madam Xia asked her this.

"I was young and naive, so I fell in love with him. But after seeing what kind of person he is, I no longer like him."

As soon as Su Nuan finished speaking, she suddenly heard a cough behind her. Turning back, she saw that Xia Lian and Mu Yunting had arrived outside the pavilion without her noticing.

The coughing sound just now should be Xia Lian reminding her.

Su Nuan was at a loss for a moment. He heard everything that was said just now!
