I just want to live a good life

An hour later, when Mu Yunyi finally shut up, Su Nuan realized how stupid her suggestion was.

For a whole hour, she was listening to Mu Yunyi's wild and unrealistic ideas.

She finally understood why Mu Yunting lost money every time he did business. The vegetables grown on the valuable land in the imperial city were sold to the villages outside the city, and they were even called precious vegetables. He ate the burnt rice crusts from the villagers' cooking once and found them delicious, so he decided to open a shop specializing in selling rice crusts in the imperial city. The poor children in the village could not afford to go to private schools, but he insisted on selling the rice paper from Jinwenxuan, the most famous store in the imperial city, there.

There are many more ideas like this. In a nutshell, this person wants to sell things that others don't need.

After Mu Yunyi finished a cup of tea, he asked Su Nuan, "What do you think of my ideas, Concubine Xia? I'm sure we can make a fortune!"

Su Nuan looked at him in disbelief for a long time. After making sure that he was not joking, she asked Mu Yunyi, "Second Prince has never earned a penny by himself outside since he was a child, right?"

Mu Yunyi was a little unhappy: "What does Concubine Xia mean by this?"

"Don't think too much about it, it means exactly what it says." Su Nuan explained.

This person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth simply does not understand that most people in this world purchase based on need.

"Why don't we make a bet? If you can put aside your status as a prince and go out to earn one or two taels of silver, I will lend you three thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"

Mu Yunyi said: "One tael of silver is not that difficult. Don't go back on your word."

Su Nuan said, "Don't worry, I won't change my mind, but I have a request. Your identity cannot be known to others, and your original belongings cannot be sold. The time limit is half a month."

Mu Yunyi smiled contemptuously upon hearing this, then raised his head and asked Mu Yunting: "Brother, does Concubine Xia mean what she said?"

"of course."

Mu Yunyi asked Manager Ding again: "Ding Fu, do you have anything else to say?"

Steward Ding replied, "Ding Fu will obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Concubine in everything."

"Okay, in half a month I will come back with the silver I earned myself to get three thousand taels. You should prepare it for me."

"Your Highness, Concubine Xia." Mu Yunyi saluted the two of them very formally. "Our agreement has begun now. I have to hurry up and earn money. I will take my leave now."

Watching his leaving back, the three people in Tinglan Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Nuan spoke faintly and asked, "How long has he been like this?"

Steward Ding replied, "It's been almost a year. In this year, they took tens of thousands of taels of silver from our Prince's Mansion, and not a single tael has been returned."

Su Nuan could feel that Manager Ding's heart was bleeding when he said this.

"My Lady Concubine, if the Second Prince really earned one tael of silver, do you really want to give him three thousand taels? That's a bottomless pit. If you give him a hole, it will never end."

Su Nuan said, "Putting aside his status, with his brain, what do you think he can do to earn a few ounces of silver?"

Manager Ding thought for a moment and replied, "I guess I can only do some odd jobs."

"So do you think he will do it?"

This time, Manager Ding didn't even think about it and answered directly, "No."

"That's okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Mu Yunting coughed lightly, as if to express his dissatisfaction with the two people talking about Mu Yunyi behind his back.

But Su Nuan ignored him and continued, "I set the one tael of silver according to the standard of servants in our mansion. If he is lucky enough to find a job, he can earn one tael of silver in half a month."

Steward Ding asked with some concern: "What if the Second Prince really made some money?"

Su Nuan smiled slightly, "Then give him three thousand taels."

Manager Ding looked worried, "This..."

"Don't worry, by then he will know that money is hard-earned and will not squander it like before."

Su Nuan said this, but in her heart she had already started to think about how to cooperate with Mu Yunyi. This guy is stupid and has a lot of money, and most importantly, he has a noble status, so no one dares to mess with him.

"Cough cough."

Mu Yunting's cough came from behind her. Su Nuan turned around to look at him, and saw that he was looking at her. She suddenly felt guilty.

"You should give me an explanation." Mu Yunting said lightly.

"What do you want to explain? Let the Second Prince go and make money? I just said that!"

Mu Yunting fiddled with the teacup lid with one hand, making a crisp sound, "What's going on with Le Xinghe?"

Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting with a guilty conscience and murmured, "He...he is a musician. I only invited him to entertain His Highness."

Mu Yunting seemed dissatisfied with the answer and stared at Su Nuan without saying anything.

Su Nuan wondered in her heart, is this to indicate that I want to introduce Le Xinghe to him as a boyfriend? She carefully observed Mu Yunting's expression and felt that he was suggesting this, so she said, "Actually, I want to... introduce him to His Highness as a friend."

As soon as the words came out, Su Nuan hurriedly observed Mu Yunting. Seeing that he had no reaction, she continued, "After all, Your Highness only has Master Lou and Ye Yin serving him, so the harem should be filled up. Your Highness can't openly choose someone he likes, so I, as a concubine, should take care of this for Your Highness."

Why is there a bruise on Mu Yunting's forehead? Su Nuan muttered in her heart, but she didn't think much about it and continued, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this Mr. Le doesn't like women either."

She saw obvious blue veins on the back of Mu Yunting's hand and thought that she had never noticed that this man's hands were so thin before.

After saying a lot, Mu Yunting didn't say a word. Su Nuan wondered if she hadn't said it well enough. After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively, "Your Highness, do you want me to explain things to Mr. Le for you?"

"I understand. Your Highness is not in a position to come forward in person, so leave this matter to me. I will go and help you. I will go to the Jiyin Music House tomorrow, no, in a little while. If everything goes well, I will bring Mr. Le to see you in the evening."

Su Nuan felt that she had done a good job as a matchmaker, and Mu Yunting should be satisfied now.

But as soon as she finished her words, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the teacup that Mu Yunting was playing with in his hand was crushed by him.

Su Nuan was shocked. Is he angry? But why is he angry?

He was the one who just said that he wanted to visit Le Xinghe at Jiyin Jiaofang. Doesn't that mean he is interested in her? So what's wrong with me helping him?

Could it be that he doesn't want to rely on someone else's hands and wants to do the battle himself?

After thinking for a long time, Su Nuan still couldn't understand why Mu Yunting crushed the teacup, so she had to shut up and stop talking.

Mu Yunting threw the broken porcelain bottle in his hand on the table, flicked his sleeves and stood up to leave.

Su Nuan asked Steward Ding: "What happened to him?"

Manager Ding shook his head and looked at Su Nuan with an expression that was hard to describe.
