I just want to live a good life

Chapter 350 Backfired

"Hey, don't go, I still have something to say."

After Song Qi finished talking about Fusheng, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Nuan.

"What else do you want, Boss?"

"I want to ask you what happened when you went to see Lord Shen from the Ministry of Justice that day?"

Although Song Qi had already told Su Nuan what happened that day as soon as he walked out of the Ministry of Justice, since Su Nuan asked, Song Qi still patiently told her again.

There was nothing special about it. He just followed Su Nuan's instructions, used the token to clear the way, and went directly to see Lord Shen. Then he told Lord Shen about Chen Zhong's murder of Mu Yunsong, handed over the evidence he had collected to Lord Shen, and finally gave Lord Shen the token and asked him to return it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The process is that simple.

Su Nuan asked about every detail again, and finally came to the conclusion that Lord Shen did not suspect Song Qi after meeting him, and the one who wanted to arrest Song Qi was most likely His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to find her through Song Qi, so the suppression of Chen Zhong's clues is most likely the work of Mu Yunting.

Su Nuan was a little annoyed. She had done something stupid. She originally wanted to clear her third brother's name. Even if she had to stay away from the imperial city, she didn't want her third brother to be labeled a wanted criminal. But now the case had not made any progress and her right-hand man was wanted.

Alas! I have done more harm than good!

Thinking about it, she got angry. Mu Yunting was about to marry the beauty, but he was still causing trouble for her and didn't care about their past friendship at all.

Su Nuan secretly made up her mind that as long as she could get back the money that Fusheng had taken away, no, as long as she could find out who the master behind Fusheng was, she would leave, even if she couldn't get the money back.

Money can be earned again if lost, but if she really gets to witness the prince marrying his first wife, she doesn't think she has the guts to do that.

It's another sleepless night, but tonight there are no tears or crying.

After Song Qi left, Su Qingmo took out a jar of wine and a roast chicken from nowhere, and held up a broken bowl with a chip on it and said with great enthusiasm: "The night is so beautiful today, we must drink to cheer ourselves up, come on, let's get drunk!"

Su Nuan turned her head and glanced out the window. It was pitch black. She didn't know how he could see such beauty.

But for the sake of the roast chicken, he didn't expose him.

"Why didn't you take it out just now?"

Su Nuan asked.

Su Qingmo chuckled, "One less person, one less mouth. Just a chicken and a jar of wine may not be enough for the four of us."

This is for you to get drunk and relieve your sorrow.

"You are so stingy!"

Su Nuan said as she reached out and pulled a chicken wing.

"This is a special period. When we get the money back, Miss will give me my share of the tea sales. I will definitely treat Brother Song Qi to a good meal."

Cough cough cough, a piece of meat almost got stuck in Su Nuan's trachea. She coughed violently for a while before she recovered.

"How much share do you get?"

"Three hundred and twenty taels."

"so much!"

Chu Qi and Ye Xiaobai were amazed.

Su Nuan still admired her own vision. Su Qingmo was really a good businessman, but he just lacked a platform to display his talents.

"I was thinking that I would go to the shopkeeper to settle the bill when I had saved up 500 taels. Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have settled the bill once I had saved up 20 taels."

Feeling very melancholy, Su Qingmo poured himself a bowl of wine, raised the bowl and took a sip.

"In fact, you don't have to wait until I get the money back from Fusheng to settle with you. I promised to give you your share, but I will give you the money from the account of Piaoxiang Tea House. You didn't get the money only because you had an accident. It's okay if you go back to get the money now."

"Is it really possible?"

Su Qingmo looked at Su Nuan with burning eyes.

"It should be possible..."

Let's go!

Su Nuan thought that Mu Yunting never cared about his own businesses and should not pay attention to this little thing.

Su Qingmo was so happy that he tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Su Nuan's hand, then raised the broken bowl and said to everyone, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate my becoming a rich man."

Three hundred and twenty taels is indeed a lot for them now.

Chu Qi and Ye Xiaobai were also happy for him and picked up their bowls to drink with him.

Su Nuan also picked up the bowl in front of her to celebrate for him, but just as the bowl was brought to her mouth, she suddenly had an idea. Su Qingmo went to get the silver that he deserved, so what about her share? Ever since she sent Su Qingmo to Piaoxiang Tea House, the income of Piaoxiang Tea House has increased sharply. She should at least get a Bole Award, which is worth at least one hundred taels.

It would be a waste not to take this one hundred taels. When Mu Yunting marries Xun Zheng, the properties of the Prince's Mansion will definitely be handed over to Xun Zheng. They have worked so hard to run the shop, but in the end they were helping others. A mere one hundred taels is really a bargain for them.

So Su Nuan responded to Su Qingmo with an earnest look, which made Su Qingmo feel very uncomfortable.

"Well, I know everyone is in financial difficulty right now. After I get the silver, I am willing to give ten taels as travel expenses."

Su Nuan's eyes became more earnest, with a smile on her lips.

Ten taels of silver is already a lot.

Su Qingmo wiped the sweat from his forehead, hardened his heart, gritted his teeth and increased the amount of silver to twenty taels.

This should be enough, you can’t add any more. It’s not easy to earn this money by yourself.

Su Nuan chuckled and finally spoke: "How can I take your money? I just want you to take my share back when you go to ask for the money."

"Your share?"

"Yes, I also got a commission for introducing you to Piaoxiang Tea House."

"How many?"

"Just one hundred taels."

"Is this the amount you came up with on the spur of the moment?"

"Yup!"

"The commission was also something you just thought of, right?"

"Yeah." Su Nuan nodded heavily.

"Won't I be beaten up as a liar if I ask for money like this?"

"How could that be? Who would beat you if you want your remuneration to be reasonable and legal?"

Why does this sound so unreliable? The prince's concubine disappeared, and then someone went to the teahouse in the prince's mansion to ask for money in her name. Wouldn't they be arrested as kidnappers?

Su Qingmo made a bitter face and said, "Why don't you go and ask for the commission yourself!"

"Why would I need you if I can do it myself? Actually, I want this silver for all of us. If we can't get Fusheng's silver back, we will only have twenty or so taels of silver for travel expenses, which will be spent in a few days. But this hundred taels can last for a while, and we can even do some small business when the time comes."

At this point, Su Nuan changed the subject and said, "However, if you don't want to go, I won't force you. But when the money runs out, you have to lend me some."

Can I pay this back after borrowing it? Su Qingmo muttered to himself.

He weighed it over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'll go get it tomorrow."

I'll accept a beating even if it means I get beaten up. One hundred taels, and I don't know how long it will take to earn it back in the future.

"Okay, it's settled. Tomorrow you and Chu Qi will go to the teahouse to ask for money. It's up to you whether we will beg along the way or eat and drink delicious food."

Su Qingmo felt the pressure and picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"Miss, where are we going tomorrow?"

Ye Xiaobai asked Su Nuan.

"Tomorrow, please help me deliver a letter to my father. The Ministry of Justice is suppressing the case of my third brother and not doing anything. I need my father to put some pressure on them."

"The Third Young Master is going to run away with us anyway, so it doesn't matter whether the case is solved or not."

Ye Xiaobai calls Su Nuan Miss, so naturally he calls Xia Changze the Third Young Master.

"How are they the same?" Su Nuan retorted, "If the case is not solved, then Third Brother's leaving the Imperial City is called fleeing for fear of crime. Only if the case is solved can he flee far away."

She was talking excitedly but she didn't know that her third brother, whom she tried so hard to help clear his name, had already been arrested.
