I just want to live a good life

Chapter 455 Bottom Line

The Prince's Mansion has been unusually quiet these past two days.

Su Nuan never saw Mu Yunting again.

As the year draws to a close, she thought Mu Yunting must be busy with a lot of things, so it was normal that she couldn't see him.

Until the day Xun Zheng moved out of the Prince's Mansion.

That night, Mu Yunting came to Duiyueju again.

Unlike the last time when he came without saying a word, this time he came with anger and a cold expression.

As soon as they met, he threw a brocade box to Su Nuan.

This brocade box is small and exquisite, and looks very familiar.

Su Nuan only needed to take a closer look to determine what was in the brocade box. Did the appearance of this brocade box in Mu Yunting's hands mean that her plan had been successful?

Not sure.

She pretended not to know and asked Mu Yunting: "What does your highness mean?"

Mu Yunting said coldly: "Open it and take a look."

Su Nuan opened the brocade box as she was told, and as she expected, a string of crystal clear glass bracelets lay inside the box.

"Isn't it strange? How come this thing is in my hand?"

Mu Yunting said angrily.

"Yes, how come this thing is in your Highness's hands?"

Su Nuan was already a little excited, and there was a hint of joy in her voice.

Mu Yunting was even more angry. He gave her something that he regarded as a treasure, but she turned around and sold it for a high price.

"Xia Qingyan, what do you think of my sincerity towards you?"

What is he? A carrot, and a playboy at that. Su Nuan complained in her heart.

"You're so short of money that you even want to sell the gift I gave you!"

Su Nuan tried hard to suppress her joy and asked, "May I ask where did you get this bracelet, Your Highness?"

"You don't need to worry about where I got it. Just tell me why you want to sell the things I gave you."

Is it because you have someone else in your heart and you find it an eyesore?

Mu Yunting didn't say the latter sentence, but just thought about it silently in his heart.

Now Su Nuan can be basically sure that her plan has succeeded.

This glass bracelet is the one she asked Zhu Mingliang to imitate. Zhu Mingliang has excellent craftsmanship and the product is exactly the same as the original.

After getting the bracelet that day, Su Nuan asked Manager Chen to sell it on the black market, asking for 50,000 taels, but in fact she only revealed the news to Xun Zheng.

So the appearance of this bracelet here means that Xun Zheng has taken the bait, but for some reason Manager Chen didn't come to inform her.

She didn't know that Shopkeeper Chen had been robbed last time and was now acting very cautiously. After selling the bracelet, he first asked his waiter to invite Chu Qi, wanting Chu Qi to accompany him to the Prince's Mansion.

Who would have thought that Chu Qi was not in the workshop where he worked, so the boy went to Piaoxiang Tea House again and found Song Qi.

By the time Song Qi arrived at Duobao Pavilion, it was already dark.

He and Shopkeeper Chen discussed it and decided that it would be safer to go to the Prince's Mansion during the day tomorrow.

Su Nuan did not get the first-hand information and could only rely on guesswork. Now that Mu Yunting refused to say where the bracelet came from, she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Xun Zheng only gave Mu Yunting the information and Mu Yunting stole it without spending any money?

Although the possibility of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stealing things is very small.

Su Nuan's plan was to get Xun Zheng's money, not Mu Yunting's. If the money was paid by Mu Yunting, she would feel it was not satisfying enough.

"Your Highness, why do you think this bracelet is the one you gave me?"

"Is there any need to ask? This is the only thing the foreign country has offered as tribute."

Hearing this, Su Nuan's eyes darkened. After all, he still didn't trust her. If this matter happened to Xun Zheng, he would probably take the silver to ask the other party if it was enough.

Fortunately, she still had a trick up her sleeve and a string of bracelets in her hand.

She took out the bracelet she had kept and spread it in front of Mu Yunting, saying calmly, "This is the tribute from a foreign country that Your Highness sent. I wonder where this bracelet in Your Highness's hand came from."

Mu Yunting stared at the thing in Su Nuan's hand with a frozen expression. After a moment, he seemed to understand something and said in a cold voice: "Is this another trick of yours?"

The tone was so cold that it made people shudder.

Su Nuanxin sank again and said calmly: "I don't understand what your highness means."

"Don't you understand? I am also part of your plan, right?"

Mu Yunting had been holding a fire in his heart for the past few days, and at this moment, the fire seemed to have found an outlet and burned towards Su Nuan.

He threw the glass bracelet in his hand to the ground and said loudly: "You are so bold, woman, to play with me like that."

Looking at the furious Mu Yunting, Su Nuan couldn't help but take two steps back.

"I usually think you are just playing around when you are greedy for money, but what you are doing now has touched my bottom line. Xia Qingyan, you have forgotten your identity. I will remind you again that you are my concubine. Remember, never do anything that is not in line with your identity."

After saying this with red eyes, Mu Yunting seemed to relax all of a sudden. He let out a light breath, ignored Su Nuan, turned around and left.

This was the result of his struggle for several days. Between losing her and enduring her secret meeting with a man, he chose the latter.

Mu Yunting couldn't accept that he had done such a thing, but things had already come to this, and he didn't want to stay here and continue facing his concubine Xia.

Su Nuan looked at the broken glass bracelet on the ground and kept repeating his words in her mind.

Greed for money, petty tricks, concubines...

Su Nuan laughed at herself, it turned out that in his eyes, she was just a clown.

I set up a trap to get Xun Zheng's money, and it made him so angry. In fact, even if he didn't say it, I knew that his bottom line was with Xun Zheng.

Su Nuan clenched the glass bracelet in her hand, feeling indescribable.
