I just want to live a good life

Chapter 250 Be a Matchmaker

"I won't go in. Just let me talk to Concubine Xia here."

"Concubine Xia needs to rest, Lord Mei, please go back."

Su Nuan guessed that Mei Changli came to ask her to save his son. She had already told Mu Yunting about her suspicions about Yu Zhiqiu. This was already helping Mei Runian. After all, no one knew whether Mei Runian would help her to harm herself just because she liked Yu Zhiqiu.

"Concubine Xia, Concubine Xia, please save my son. He has absolutely done nothing to harm you!"

"Master Mei, please don't make things difficult for us."

The guards on duty outside were all transferred from Xiaomian County. They have already done their duty conscientiously by keeping the county magistrate outside. It would be a bit unreasonable to ask them to take the initiative to drive him away.

Su Nuan didn't want to see Mei Changli. She also wanted to see what method Mu Yunting would use to make Mei Runian tell the truth.

But she couldn't let anyone chase him away. Just when she was wondering whether to meet Mei Changli, Falcon suddenly appeared. He came over, picked up Mei Changli and left without saying a word.

Su Nuan silently gave Falcon a thumbs up.

Although Mei Changli was taken away, Su Nuan did not want to attract attention and chose to leave from the other side of the tent.

One advantage of a tent is that you don't have to go through a door to enter or exit. Su Nuan went out from the back of the tent without alerting the guards guarding the front.

But she didn't know where Mu Yunting had gone, and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation. Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth, and a strong fragrance entered her mouth and nose. Soon Su Nuan's consciousness became blurred, and in a trance she saw an extremely beautiful face.

.

Mu Yunting had Mei Runian locked up in a tent, which was surrounded by guards.

Mrs. May stood in front of the tent sobbing.

"Do you know what crime is for murdering a royal relative?" Mu Yunting asked sternly.

Mei Runian replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, please understand, I don't have it."

"No? Then why did you replace Concubine Xia's wine jug after she got into trouble? Aren't you just feeling guilty?"

Mei Runian didn't dare to speak. He had indeed done it and couldn't deny it.

"Tell me, who ordered you to harm my concubine?"

"Your Highness, it really wasn't me. I am innocent!"

"You still dare to cry out for injustice! Then think carefully about the scene when Lord Mei and Madam Mei bid you farewell when you are executed in the autumn."

After saying this, Mu Yunting stepped out and then entered another tent.

The eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Zhiqiu, is imprisoned here. Unlike Mei Runian, there are not so many guards guarding outside this tent, and Yu Zhiqiu is not the only one inside. Lord Yu and Madam Yu are also with her.

When Mu Yunting entered the tent, the three members of the family bowed to him.

"Your Highness, I wonder what instructions you have for my family."

Lord Yu asked anxiously.

"Master Yu should have heard that I once acted as a matchmaker for Yun Shu. This matchmaking was very successful. Yun Shu and his wife were as close as honey."

Mu Yunting said this and glanced at Yu Zhiqiu, who indeed looked angry.

"Before leaving, Yunshu mentioned Miss Yu's marriage to me, saying that Lord Yu was trying to find a husband for his daughter. I do have a suitable candidate, and I would like to ask Lord Yu and Madam Yu what they think."

When Lord Yu heard that it was a marriage proposal for his daughter, his heart immediately settled down. However, it always felt strange when the prince was arranging a marriage for someone else.

"I wonder which young man your highness is talking about?"

"It is Mei Runian, the son of Master Mei."

Lord Yu and Madam Yu looked at each other and asked tentatively, "Master Mei was locked up by His Highness. Could it be that he was trying to find a husband for our daughter?"

"Not entirely. Mei Runian is suspected of plotting to murder our concubine Xia, but Concubine Xia is kind and wants to give him a chance. If he is willing to marry Miss Yu, she will not bother him with this matter."

"Huh? This..."

Lord Yu felt that his daughter's marriage was being treated as a joke, and he was furious. However, the person in front of him was the Crown Prince, and he could not afford to offend him. So he suppressed his anger and said, "Your Highness, this is not appropriate. Mei Runian is suspected of plotting against Concubine Xia. Your Highness should punish him and Lord Mei. My daughter doesn't want to have anything to do with this! If my Yu family agrees to this marriage, it will be a bargain for Mei Runian."

"Master Yu thinks so. Does Miss Yu think so too?"

Mu Yunting turned to look at Yu Zhiqiu. Although he had a smile on his face, the smile did not reach his eyes, giving people a cold feeling.

Under Mu Yunting's powerful aura, Yu Zhiqiu instinctively shrank back.

"I, I think Dad is right."

"Do you also think that if you marry Mei Runian, it will be too easy for him?" Mu Yunting smiled meaningfully and said, "But I heard that Mei Runian and Miss Yu are in love with each other. He is in trouble now. Shouldn't Miss Yu lend a hand to save him?"

"I didn't. I never liked him."

Yu Zhiqiu explained hastily.

"So you can use him with a clear conscience, right?"

Mu Yunting looked at Yu Zhiqiu with cold eyes.

"I, I didn't."

Lord Yu saw that something was wrong and quickly asked, "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

"Humph, Yu Moling, if you hadn't done a good job in finding medicine for Concubine Xia, you and your daughter would have been put in a prisoner's cart and taken to the Dali Temple in the imperial city. Your daughter is so bold to murder my concubine."

"Your Highness, is there any misunderstanding here? How could I do such a thing? No way..."

"Whether it will or not is not up to you to say. Yu Zhiqiu, considering that you call Yunshu your cousin, I will give you one chance. Tell me the whole story of the murder of Concubine Xia. Who ordered you to do it and who was involved. Don't hide anything. Otherwise, even if Yunshu comes here, he can't protect you."

Yu Zhiqiu’s face turned pale and he looked at his parents for help.

She is the first child of Lord Yu and Madam Yu, and has always been treated with great care. In the Yu family, her words are half the power of Lord Yu, and in Xiaomian County, she is Miss Yu, a person who can get whatever she wants.

But the person standing in front of her now is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future monarch. In front of him, let alone the eldest daughter of the Yu family, even the entire Yu family is nothing.

Lord Yu and Madam Yu knelt down together, "Your Highness, my daughter is usually a little willful, but she would never dare to do something like murdering a royal relative."

"If Lord Yu wants to save his daughter, he should persuade her to tell the truth. Otherwise, she will wait for death in the prison of the Ministry of Justice with Mei Runian."

After saying this, Mu Yunting strode out of the tent. Liefeng immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words in Mu Yunting's ear. Mu Yunting replied with satisfaction to the tent where Mei Runian was.

"Did you hear everything clearly, Mr. Mei?"
