I just want to live a good life

Chapter 357: Bad Taste

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurried out as soon as he finished his court session.

When he met Xia Lian on the road, he smiled at him, but General Xia was still indignant on behalf of his daughter and was very cold to the smile from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Mu Yunting was not angry. He was thinking that his father-in-law's plan was about to fail. Your daughter has to go back to the Prince's Mansion with me today. What's wrong with giving in to you?

Xia Lian was thinking that his daughter would divorce him sooner or later and would fall out with him, so there was no need for him to pretend to be enthusiastic with him anymore.

The two of them strode forward with their own thoughts and no one paid any attention to each other.

At the palace gate, someone was waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a horse.

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped out of the palace gate, he jumped on his horse without delaying for a moment.

Then he threw a list to the coachman and asked him to deliver it to the envoy of Fanli State, then he whipped his horse and rode away.

The Ministry of Justice is his territory, and he wants to arrive there first.

When Su Nuan arrived at the Ministry of Justice, she saw Linglong tied outside the door. The horse had become much stronger after not seeing it for many days. It seemed to recognize Su Nuan. When it saw her, it raised its head and exhaled two puffs of air from its nostrils.

Su Nuan raised her hand and touched its cheek, then entered the Ministry of Justice.

The guards at the door had been instructed long ago, and when they saw Su Nuan, they led her inside directly.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xia has arrived."

Mu Yunting was originally standing at the door, but upon hearing this, he quickly sat back at his desk.

This woman actually wants to run away. No matter what the reason is, it makes me angry. I can't let her think that I care about her very much, otherwise where is my dignity?

The bailiff who came to report was stunned.

When Su Nuan stepped into Mu Yunting's room with a threatening look on her face, she saw Mu Yunting, dressed in a long gown of imperial color, sitting behind a desk with a book in his hand.

The whole person looks calm and reserved.

Of course it would have been better if he hadn't held the book upside down.

Su Nuan didn't say anything, she just curled her lips, then pulled over a chair and sat down.

I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a few days and his dressing style has changed a lot. Could this be Miss Xun's vulgar taste?

How did he have the courage to wear such a flashy color?

But I have to say that being good-looking means being willful. This color that is difficult to control looks pretty good on him.

Mu Yunting pretended to read a book, but his attention was all on Su Nuan.

What's that expression? Do I look ugly like this? This shouldn't be the case. Didn't Chunliu say she liked this color very much?

The reserved Crown Prince was confused, but refused to speak first.

Su Nuan was full of anger and was still trying to process it. Seeing Mu Yunting dressed like this made her even angrier. She was afraid that the conversation would break down if she opened her mouth, so she didn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, Mu Yunting couldn't hold it any longer and asked, "Why did you ask me to come here to meet you instead of going back to the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Isn't this nonsense? Of course it's for my third brother, otherwise who would be willing to come and see you.

Su Nuan complained in her heart and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mu Yunting. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before replying, "I came here to ask Your Highness why you didn't investigate the evidence and instead framed my third brother and convicted him?"

Mu Yunting thought to himself, if I don't do this, will you come back obediently? You want to leave me just because someone else instigates you, even though I'm so sincere to you.

You've pushed me into this state, and you still have the nerve to question me.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunting hardened his heart and said, "It is well known that Xia Changze escaped from prison. No one has wronged him. As for the evidence you mentioned, there is no need to check it. The current evidence is enough to prove that Xia Changze committed murder."

"The previous evidence was all deliberately framed. The scene was so chaotic that it was hard to tell who was who. Those who said that Third Brother killed someone were just speculating on their own."

"You also said that the scene was chaotic. How can we be sure that your so-called evidence is not fabricated to exonerate Xia Changze?"

Su Nuan pursed her lips and glared at Mu Yunting.

This person has no mercy at all.

"Then what will it take for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to re-investigate this case?"

This woman won't even say a soft word!

"It depends on your choice. I will certainly not let my concubine's brother suffer in vain, but if it were someone else, there would be no need to bother with that thought."

Listen, is this what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should say? When did he disregard the law because of his relationship? He is usually a fair and strict person, why has he become like a rogue now?

Su Nuan wanted to curse, but she held it back because business was more important.

"Am I not His Highness's concubine?"

"It is now, but I don't know if it will be in the future."

Su Nuan seemed to hear some resentment in these words, and her heart trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to think too deeply. She calmed her mind and said, "If Your Highness has no intention of divorcing me, I will still be your concubine."

Mu Yunting was delighted, but he said calmly, "In this case, the case of my uncle being wrongly accused cannot be closed so hastily. We need to re-investigate it."

After saying that, he sent someone to invite Lord Shen, and in front of Su Nuan, asked Lord Shen to send people to arrest Chen Zhong.

Lord Shen couldn't help but steal a glance at the Crown Prince's concubine. All of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's behavior must be because of this Concubine Xia. She is truly a beauty that brings disaster!

They had clearly sent people to detain Chen Zhong and sentenced Xia Changze to death, but now they were pretending to arrest him. I don't know why they were doing this.

He couldn't figure it out, but it didn't affect his handling of the case.

After Lord Shen took the order and left, Su Nuan made a request to Mu Yunting, wanting to go visit Xia Changze.

Mu Yunting was anxious to bring the person back home, but was afraid that Xia Changze would interfere, so he was very reluctant to let the brother and sister meet.

So I simply refused.

"Why didn't you let me see my third brother? Did you torture him?"

Su Nuan couldn't hold it in any longer. Thinking about how her third brother was beaten to death by King Ankang, her heart was in her throat. She looked at Mu Yunting with hatred in her eyes.

This look hurt Mu Yunting a lot, and his patience reached its limit.

So, he said coldly: "Important prisoners are not allowed to be visited. If you want to see him, just go back to the Prince's Mansion and wait."

The more she was prevented from seeing Su Nuan, the more worried she became. However, she was powerless and they were on someone else's territory, so she couldn't do anything.

But in his heart he had already launched a series of attacks against Mu Yunting.

"I won't leave. I will wait here for Lord Shen to arrest Chen Zhong."

"What can you do here? Don't get in the way. Come back with me."

Mu Yunting didn't say anything and pulled the person out.

Su Nuan was unwilling and struggled hard.

Then, Mu Yunting's cold voice sounded faintly in his ears, "Do you want me to carry you away like this?"
