I just want to live a good life

Chapter 262 The more you talk, the faster you die

Su Qingmo enjoyed delivering hot water to everyone.

Just as he imagined, every room that asked for hot water would give him some silver, ranging from a few taels of silver to a few copper coins.

After a while, there was a jingling sound in my pocket.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you boil so much water and use so much firewood? The firewood here is not free, it is all bought with silver."

Seeing that Su Qingmo had gained advantage, a postman came to cause trouble for him.

"Our Crown Prince and Concubine want to use hot water. Do you think the official wants to charge them money?"

The postman just wanted to extort some money, but Su Qingmo brought up the Crown Prince, which made the postman feel embarrassed. He didn't dare to respond and left in embarrassment.

Su Qingmo was delighted. Of course, he had someone higher up to help him get things done. The titles of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine were really useful.

He happily carried a bucket of boiling water and prepared to deliver it to Prince Guang'an's room. When going upstairs, he inadvertently glanced at a figure flashing at the stairs on the second floor. The person only showed his side face. Su Qingmo thought the person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

If it were usual, Su Qingmo wouldn't care whether he looked familiar to someone. He met so many people every day, it wouldn't be surprising if there was someone familiar.

But today, this profile made him feel very uneasy, and he was not so attentive to delivering water until he received the five taels of silver that Prince Guang'an casually rewarded him.

Holding the silver, Su Qingmo smiled happily.

There are so many benefits to dealing with more nobles. He doesn't want to leave tomorrow. He can save dozens of taels of silver by serving these nobles all the way to the imperial city, which he can't earn even if he runs himself to death in the teahouse.

I was thinking about how I could get the money from Concubine Xia tomorrow and then find an excuse to stay.

Before he knew it, he had returned to the kitchen. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was surprised to find someone hiding in the kitchen.

Without even thinking, Su Qingmo subconsciously withdrew the foot that had stepped over the threshold and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the back of his collar.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Don't you recognize me?"

Hearing a voice next to him, Su Qingmo turned around and saw the young man who had stripped his clothes in the inn not long ago.

"Hey, why are you here again? What do you want to do this time?"

Ying Shu looked at Su Qingmo and smiled harmlessly, "Nothing, just like last time, I'm borrowing your clothes."

"Again?"

"You don't have to do it yourself this time. But I have to warn you first, don't say anything you shouldn't say. The more you say, the faster you'll die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Shu raised his hand and slapped the man, knocking him unconscious.

That night, every room hides the secrets of its tenants.

Some people lie on the bed reading storybooks, some hold their feet and pick blisters, and some hold their lover's bellyband and have erotic dreams.

A passionate and tragic drama is unfolding in Su Nuan's room.

"no!"

Su Nuan, who was dizzy from the kiss, tightly grasped Mu Yunting's hand that was holding her belt.

"My lady, you can't be so cruel."

Mu Yunting leaned over to Su Nuan's ear and acted coquettishly.

The cold voice was a little hoarse and had a long tail, which made Su Nuan's heart almost melt.

She was struggling on the edge of sanity, and kept reminding herself in her heart: This is an inn, there are people next door, the sound insulation is very poor, and I can't afford to embarrass this person.

"My lady, your body smells so good!"

The "devil's sound" in her ears continued, and was about to break through Su Nuan's last line of defense.

Suddenly a soft cry pulled her out of her depressed state.

The sound was not loud, but it was particularly noticeable in the quiet night.

"Your Highness, I heard Leng Yue's cry for help, I want to go see her."

"Was there? I didn't hear it. Maybe you heard it wrong?"

"No, I heard you clearly."

"She has people serving her, so if something happened she wouldn't just shout. Besides, there are the Falcons, they should have sent out a signal if there was any danger approaching the post."

"That being said, I want to go and take a look. The incident that harmed me has not been investigated yet, and I don't want her to get into trouble."

Mu Yunting reluctantly let go of the person in his arms and stood up to get his clothes.

"I go with you."

"It's not convenient for you to go so late, I'd better go and check it out myself. If there is anything, I will shout loudly."

Su Nuan subconsciously didn't want Mu Yunting to meet Leng Yue.

"You go in by yourself, I'll wait outside the door."

Without giving Su Nuan a chance to refuse, Mu Yunting helped her put on her coat.

The two of them came to Leng Yue's door, and Su Nuan whispered, "Miss Leng Yue, are you asleep? Can I come in?"

At this moment in the room, Ying Shu was covering Leng Yue's mouth tightly.

He whispered in Leng Yue's ear: "Let her come in alone."

Seeing Leng Yue nod, Ying Shu let go of his hand, but a dagger was still against Leng Yue's neck.

"My Lady Concubine, I'm asleep. What do you want?"

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you."

"Then come in."

Su Nuan pushed the door open and saw Leng Yue sitting on the bed wearing only her underwear, with her fair shoulders exposed.

She quickly turned around and closed the door to block Mu Yunting's sight.

Then when she turned around, she was surprised to see Ying Shu jumping out from behind the bed curtain.

"..."

Su Nuan opened her mouth to say something to Ying Shu, but the current situation was too strange and she couldn't find her voice.

"you--"

As soon as Ying Shu opened his mouth, Su Nuan immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.

Mu Yunting was just outside the door. If he ran into Ying Shu, the consequences would be beyond her control.

By then, the fact that Xun Zheng was still alive could no longer be concealed, and the ugly face of that woman had not yet been revealed to Mu Yunting.

She wanted to pull Xun Zheng out of the darkness and into the light, but she wanted Mu Yunting to do it himself and reveal all the faces he had seen and had not seen.

Su Nuan opened the door a crack and said to Mu Yunting outside: "Your Highness, Miss Leng Yue is fine. I will rebandage her wound. You can go back first."

"Just let the servants do this kind of thing. You don't have to do it yourself."

"It's so late, the servants have all gone to bed, I just happened to catch up, so I'll do it, I also happen to have something to say to her."

Mu Yunting had a stinky face and said with resentful eyes, "Then come back early!"

After that, he returned to his room.

Su Nuan watched Mu Yunting open the door, enter the room, and close it again before she dared to go back into the room.

After closing the door, Su Nuan couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on with you two?"
