I just want to live a good life

Chapter 540: Poor character

Su Nuan listened carefully to Mu Yunshu's words, and other questions popped up in her mind, so she asked, "Why did Prince Yongping want people to kill Aunt Ying?"

Having said so much, Mu Yunshu had nothing to hide, and replied cheerfully: "The woman surnamed Ying is from Fanli, and she has a grudge against my father."

Prince Yongping went to Fanli in person to cause sabotage with the purpose of recovering Fanli. He must have done many things that made the people of Fanli hate him. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of Fanli have a grudge against him.

"But, doesn't Prince Yongping know that Aunt Ying and Lord Xun are having an affair?"

"Yes, they have a child. Xun Yu took the child back to the Xun family and raised him as an adopted son. He was not included in the family tree and was not allowed to see outsiders. Father said that Xun Yu doubted the child's background and was afraid that he would raise a child for others in vain."

As soon as Mu Yunshu finished speaking, Su Nuan immediately looked at Mu Yunting. My goodness, the teacher whom she had admired for so many years turned out to be a bad person. This was hard to accept!

To Su Nuan's surprise, Mu Yunting's expression did not change, and he had no intention of scolding Mu Yunshu.

"Does Lord Xun know that Prince Yongping sent someone to kill Aunt Ying?"

Su Nuan asked this question almost while looking at Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunshu replied: "Of course I know. He was the one who told my father the true identity of that woman."

Su Nuan was stunned. This man was really good at using a knife to kill someone else. He not only achieved the goal of killing the mother and keeping the son, but also kept his hands clean, thus preventing his son from hating him in the future.

She tried her best to remind Mu Yunting with her eyes: Listen to what your mentor has done!

Under the attack of her eyes, Mu Yunting finally lost his temper, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Who is that woman surnamed Ying? What is her intention in coming to the imperial city?"

Mu Yunshu turned his head away and said nothing. It seemed that he didn't realize what the other person was planning at all.

Thinking of Ying Shu going to look for his mother, Su Nuan suddenly became very angry. She taunted Mu Yunshu, "You Yongping Palace are really amazing. You kill people whenever you want without even finding an excuse. Is there any justice or law?"

She said the last sentence to Mu Yunting. Prince Yongping was disregarding human life. If he was not punished, it would be unfair to those who died at his hands.

After all, he is the emperor's younger brother. Whether or not to punish him and how to punish him is not something the prince can decide.

Mu Yunting avoided Su Nuan's gaze and said, "It's more important to find Wen'er. Let father decide on the matter of the emperor's uncle."

Su Nuan calmed down when Xia Zhuowen was mentioned. There were many important things to do right now, but the most important one was to find Xia Zhuowen.

She asked Mu Yunshu unwillingly, "Are you really not here to trade Wen'er?"

Mu Yunshu rolled his eyes instead of answering, and Su Nuan's anger was aroused again, "What are you dissatisfied with? What's wrong with doubting you two about what you two did?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mu Yunting hurriedly asked someone to take Mu Yunshu away.

After everyone left, he asked Su Nuan, "You already knew that Ying Shu was the teacher's child, right?"

Su Nuan's heart tightened. What was coming finally came. She had concealed it before out of respect for Ying Shu, but now that the matter was revealed, what would Mu Yunting think when he knew the truth?

"He didn't want to be a member of the Xun family and overturn the case for the Xun family. After seeing Xun Zheng take the position of Crown Princess, he wanted to find his mother."

"Is this why you kept it from me?"

Su Nuan nodded. Actually, she had some selfish motives, but she would never say it.

Seeing that Mu Yunting's eyes were getting dimmer and dimmer, Su Nuan quickly said, "I didn't mean to hide his identity from you. I didn't know it before, and when I found out later, Xun Zheng had already appeared. But she, as a sister, refused to reveal her brother's identity. I really wanted to see what she was going to do, so I didn't break the window paper."

This reason was obviously not convincing. Mu Yunting still looked very hurt. Seeing this, Su Nuan continued, "Ying Shu is also a pitiful man. His father doesn't love him, his sister only wants to use him, and his mother, whom he was looking for, was killed. Ever since I remembered the murder of Aunt Ying, every time I see Ying Shu, I think of that scene. I really can't bear to tell him the truth. I think it might be the best choice for him to leave with the surname 'Ying'."

Hearing the word "leave", Mu Yunting's expression finally changed a little, and he asked, "You didn't tell him that his mother is dead?"

Su Nuan shook his head.

"why?"

Mu Yunting asked.

"At first I thought the assassin was sent by Lord Xun. My father sent someone to kill his own mother. I don't know how to explain such a cruel thing to Ying Shu."

"You did the right thing. Maybe it's better for him not to know the truth."

The two of them walked out while talking. Su Nuan originally wanted to rest for a while, but she was anxious because she couldn't get any news about Xia Zhuowen from Mu Yunshu.

Mu Yunting also had his own plans. Although he felt sorry for Su Nuan's tired look, Jing'an Temple was not a good place to rest.

The carriage back to the city was ready. Su Nuan got on the carriage and thought of Liefeng again. After asking, there was still no news about Liefeng.

"Your Highness, let's go to Prince Yongping's mansion and ask. Maybe the assassin can bring back news about Liefeng."

"I will ask. Since there is no body, it means the person is still alive. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Su Nuan did feel better. She leaned on Mu Yunting's shoulder and gradually fell asleep.
