I just want to live a good life

Chapter 261 Take a Hot Bath

Su Qingmo's aggrieved look was exactly the same as Chu Qi's. Su Nuan felt guilty and amused at the same time.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was only thinking about saving you from those people at the time, so I made up a random excuse to take you away. Then other things happened and I forgot about you."

Su Nuan said sincerely.

"Well, can I leave now?"

He was treated like a prisoner and led behind a horse for a whole day. He felt so sad.

Su Nuan glanced at the sky outside the window and replied, "It's getting dark, where are you going? Why don't you rest in the inn for a night? I'll give you some money tomorrow morning so you can leave."

When Su Qingmo heard that there was money to be made, the bitterness in his heart instantly disappeared. "It is better to obey than to be respectful. I will follow your arrangements. I will go make you a cup of tea."

In the blink of an eye, Su Qingmo turned into a waiter in the teahouse, carrying a teapot and serving tea to people from room to room.

"How do you know this kind of person?"

Mu Yunting asked Su Nuan after Su Qingmo left.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate this man. He is a man of broad knowledge. What he has in his head is more interesting than dozens of travel notes combined."

"Is he that powerful? I can't tell!"

"You can't blame him for that. In order to travel around the world, he worked everywhere to save money and learned the skills to serve others."

"Do you know his background?"

"I don't know."

"You are too trusting. When I return, I will have to assign more people to protect you, to prevent you from being schemed against by some villains."

Being described as a little white flower, Su Nuan pursed her lips and chuckled, "I dare not use your Highness's people. If I do anything outside, they will tell you about it. Then I won't even have a secret in front of you."

"What? You still want to keep a secret from me?"

"Then your highness has no secrets from me?"

"No."

After Mu Yunting finished speaking, he looked at Su Nuan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to hear her say "I don't have it either."

Su Nuan also wanted to say that, but she really had a secret.

"Haha, Your Highness is so kind to me."

Hearing this, Mu Yunting was slightly stunned, and then a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

The two talked for a while, and then Su Qingmo came to bring hot water.

Last time, he earned a lot of tips by boiling hot water for these people in the inn. Now his pockets are empty, so he plans to make some money from these people again.

"My dear, you've been tired all day. Would you like to take a hot bath to relax? I've already boiled the hot water."

Su Nuan really wanted to take a hot bath. Although she had been sitting in a carriage all day, the road was all dirt and not flat. The carriage was shaking violently in some potholes. At the end of the day, Su Nuan felt like she was about to fall apart. Taking a hot bath at this time could really help relieve her fatigue.

"Then it'll be hard work."

A moment later, a bathtub was brought in. "Don't worry, my lord. I found this bathtub in the storeroom. It's too big and nobody usually uses it, so I cleaned it five times before bringing it to you. It's big enough for both of you to use."

After Su Qingmo finished speaking, he picked up a bucket of hot water and poured it into the bathtub.

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan with longing in his heart.

Su Nuan was so focused on taking a hot bath that she didn't even notice the second half of Su Qingmo's sentence.

"Your Highness, can you let me wash first?"

Mu Yunting's eyes darkened.

"Okay, you wash first, I'll go talk to Uncle Wang about something."

After Mu Yunting and Su Qingmo left, Su Nuan locked the door and lay comfortably in the bathtub.

On the other side, as soon as Mu Yunting stepped out of the room, Liefeng came to report.

"Your Highness, there is no one in Prince Guang'an's team."

"sure?"

"Yes, I have confirmed them one by one, even the princess's maidservant has been confirmed."

Mu Yunting frowned and whispered, "Keep staring at Prince Guang'an."

After Liefeng left, Mu Yunting did not continue to look for King Guang'an, but turned around and went to look for Chu Qi.

Chu Qi was playing with the defective longevity lock in the room and was startled when he saw Mu Yunting come in.

"Your Highness, what do you want from me?"

Mu Yunting replied calmly: "Give me the longevity lock."

Chu Qi subconsciously hid the longevity lock in his hand behind his back.

Mu Yunting had a smile on his face.

A moment later, Mu Yunting left with the longevity lock snatched from Chu Qi. He mistakenly believed that the longevity lock was for his unborn child. Although it was just a misunderstanding, he would not allow the longevity lock to be given to anyone else.

Chu Qi was restrained by Mu Yunting again. This time there was no rope, and Mu Yunting directly pressed his acupoints.

He just lay straight on the bed, motionless, aggrieved and sad, crying out in his heart, "Who can come and cover me with a blanket?"

Mu Yunting looked at Leng Yue again while holding the longevity lock.

Su Nuan was also treated the same way in Leng Yue's carriage. Several quilts were spread in the carriage, and it was very comfortable for people to lie on them. But she was injured after all, and after a day of bumpy ride, she felt completely exhausted.

Her wounds were still healing, so she was not suitable for long journeys.

Liao Xinyi had come to see her and advised her to recover from her injuries before setting off again, but Leng Yue didn't dare to stay. She was afraid that if she stayed to recover from her injuries, it would be difficult for her to enter the Prince's Mansion again.

Leng Yue had already lay down to rest when Mu Yunting knocked on the door and came in.

In order to take care of her and Su Nuan, Mu Yunting bought two maids from Xiaomian County. Originally, one maid was for each of them, but Su Nuan didn't like being served, so he sent the maid next to her to Leng Yue.

Seeing Mu Yunting coming in, the little maid hurriedly helped Leng Yue up.

Leng Yue bowed softly and called out "Your Highness."

Mu Yunting stared at Leng Yue's face, and after a while he said, "How is your injury? Can you handle the journey?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Divine Doctor Liao has checked me out and I'm fine."

"Okay, take good care of your injuries. If you feel uncomfortable on the road, tell me at any time and I will find a place for you to recover."

"Such an injury is nothing, Your Highness, don't take it to heart. Leng Yue has no other thoughts, Your Highness, please don't chase me away."

Leng Yue had a look of sorrow when she said this, and her pale face made people feel pity for her.

Seeing this, Mu Yunting frowned unconsciously and said calmly, "No one wants to drive you away."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness."

"I'm not pitying you. I'm keeping you here because you're a descendant of the Xun family. As long as you don't lie to me, I can guarantee that you'll have plenty of food and clothing for the rest of your life."

After Mu Yunting finished speaking, he looked at Leng Yue meaningfully.

Leng Yue only felt a chill in her heart, as if Mu Yunting's gaze could see through people's hearts, and she almost told the truth.

After leaving Leng Yue's room, Mu Yunting returned to his room. Su Nuan had already come out of the bathtub, neatly dressed.

After washing away all her fatigue, she became full of energy again.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will have someone get some more hot water."

After saying that, Su Nuan was about to walk out, but Mu Yunting hugged her around the waist.

"No hurry, I'll wash it later. Your hair is still wet and you'll catch a cold if you go out."

As Mu Yunting spoke, he took a dry cotton cloth and helped Su Nuan wring out her hair.

Su Nuan, who had just finished taking a shower, was steamed pink all over, and her pair of big, moist eyes were as lively as a deer in the woods.

Mu Yunting didn't want anyone to see her offending look no matter what.
