I just want to live a good life

Chapter 550 Bring the Head to Me

Su Nuan silently challenged the fake Xun Zheng and Xiao Qionghua in her mind, and the fake Xun Zheng won this round.

The mystery was solved and everyone felt relieved.

She still had many questions, and she was ready to take this opportunity to ask them all.

Now it has been confirmed that the fake Xun Zheng and Leng Yue are not Lord Xun’s illegitimate daughters, so what is Ying Shu’s identity?

What Xiao Qionghua meant was that she had a grudge against Lord Xun, and she would not watch her enemy's child grow up. Since she was the one who arranged for the fake Xun Zheng to enter the Xun family, she must have known about Ying Shu's existence, but she did not take action against Ying Shu. Was it because she was not sure of Ying Shu's identity, or did she not have time to take action, or was Ying Shu also a pawn of hers?

After pondering for a moment, Su Nuan asked the question in her heart: "Is Ying Shu also the 'son' you arranged for Lord Xun?"

When Ying Shu was mentioned, Xiao Qionghua, who had been relaxed just now, suddenly frowned.

Su Nuan's heart suddenly began to race. Could it be that Ying Shu was the one who had been overlooked? Was he really Lord Xun's son?

Just as she was thinking about how to get Xiao Qionghua to speak, she heard him say, "What is your relationship with him? Have you ever fallen in love with him?"

Was this a form of back-propaganda? Su Nuan was surprised that Xiao Qionghua would ask such a question. Was she re-evaluating her importance to the Crown Prince?

If she had an affair with Ying Shu, the prince would definitely not be threatened for a woman like her.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan replied, "Ying Shu is just my business partner. How could I be attracted to him since I'm already the Crown Prince's concubine?"

"You really have never had feelings for him?"

Xiao Qionghua pressed the issue.

"No."

"Humph."

Su Nuan was a little unsure what "hum" meant, so she asked carefully, "Ying Shu is your man, right?"

That time, Ying Shu saved her from Zhao Zong. Later, when Zhao Zong appeared again, Su Nuan felt that the two were related, and she wanted to take this opportunity to get confirmation.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qionghua didn't intend to answer her. She turned around and continued to fiddle with her medicine furnace. After that, she didn't respond to any topic Su Nuan brought up.

Su Nuan felt bored and stopped talking, sitting aside to sort out the news he had received today.

Because of the relationship between the fake Xun Zheng and Leng Yue, she had always had a bad impression of Lord Xun.

But now that he knew that neither of them was his daughter, and even Ying Shu might have nothing to do with him, he felt that Lord Xun was truly wronged.

His entire family was executed by his enemies, and his reputation was ruined after his death.

But what exactly is the grudge between him and Xiao Qionghua?

As a princess of a fallen dynasty who was vassalized from the previous one, Xiao Qionghua’s biggest enemy should be the new king who overthrew her dynasty. However, she traveled thousands of miles to Nanzhao to seek revenge, which shows that to her, Nanzhao’s enemies are more hateful.

Thinking of what she heard yesterday about Prince Yongping's past, Su Nuan felt that even if Xiao Qionghua came to Nanzhao to seek revenge, she should look for Prince Yongping who had stirred up trouble in Nanzhao. However, it seems that she has not taken any measures against Prince Yongping at the moment, which is puzzling.

Unable to figure out these complicated relationships, and with Xiao Qionghua acting as if she was ignoring him, Su Nuan wanted to talk to Liao Xinyi, hoping to get some more information. However, she pushed the door open and looked around but didn't see anyone.

She looked at the hut again. It was located on a flat land surrounded by mountains. She could see the surrounding scenery at a glance, without any obstruction. It was very easy to detect if someone approached or left.

Under such terrain conditions, Liao Xinyi and Danggui should not be hiding nearby, otherwise they would be easily seen by her.

There was no one around, and there was only a woman in the hut. Su Nuan wanted to try to leave with this good opportunity. She pretended to look at the scenery and walked forward a few steps. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she took a step and continued to move forward. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a feather arrow attacked her.

Even though her ears were more sensitive than others and she heard the sound a split second earlier, she was unable to avoid it. The arrow pierced her feet, less than an inch away from her toes.

It's too dangerous. If she deviates even a little, her feet will have bloody holes.

Su Nuan put one hand on her chest, as if to calm her pounding heart, and then she heard a voice from the hut behind her, "This is a warning. If you dare to run away again, I'll shoot you in the head with an arrow, and then in the feet with another arrow. I guarantee you won't die even if you're hit by eight or ten arrows."

Su Nuan couldn't help but shudder when she imagined herself being shot by eight or ten arrows. She cursed inwardly, but said very obediently, "You didn't have to tell me in this way that there were archers outside. If you had told me in advance, I definitely wouldn't have taken a single step outside."

Xiao Qionghua walked over with a smile and said, "It wouldn't have been as effective if I'd told you in advance."

Su Nuan cursed in her heart again and turned back to the house.

Xiao Qionghua also entered the house behind her.

Now the room was really quiet. Su Nuan lost the desire to speak. She leaned back on the bed, closed her eyes and pretended to doze off. She fell asleep while leaning back.

In the dream, a young girl stood under the lilac tree, calling out "Brother Yunting" in a crisp voice.

The sunshine shines on the girl's face, making it bright and beautiful.

Su Nuan knew that the girl was Xun Zheng, the real Xun Zheng. She wanted to go up and talk to her, but suddenly the girl stopped smiling and her face changed. She looked like a woman in her twenties and said, "The position of Crown Princess is mine."

The woman's expression changed again, a bit sad and a bit resentful, "Why are you so useless that you can't even deal with Xun Zheng?"

Su Nuan was shocked.

Then Xiao Qionghua's voice came: "Just do as I say, and I promise not to hurt her at all."

Is he using her to threaten others? Did Mu Yunting come to save her?

Su Nuan opened her eyes. The room was a little dark, with dim light coming from a kerosene lamp.

it's getting dark.

There was no one in the room, and the voice continued to come from outside, "I'll give you three days to bring that man's head to see me, otherwise you will never see Xia Qingyan again."

This time, Su Nuan was sure that Xiao Qionghua was using her to threaten someone, and the person being threatened must be Mu Yunting. She was extremely surprised and stood up and ran out.
