I just want to live a good life

Chapter 181 Being used

Ying Shu glanced at the drawing paper in Su Nuan's hand, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Su Nuan.

Su Nuan didn't rush him, just waited for him to speak.

a long time.

"Have you met her?"

"Ah."

"So you still want to stay with the prince now?"

Su Nuan's hand holding the drawing paper trembled slightly. Ying Shu's words indirectly told her that the person in the painting was Mu Yunting's sweetheart Xun Zheng.

There was another silence. Su Nuan lowered her head and said with some difficulty: "I have a family and a shop to run. I want to expand my business in the Imperial City."

"These are the reasons why you stay with him?"

Su Nuan: “…”

"Okay, I still say the same thing, come to me anytime you want to leave, and I'll help you."

For some unknown reason, Su Nuan asked, "Where can I find you?"

Ying Shu's frown relaxed a little, and he replied, "I will rent the Xia family's yard in South City. You can ask Song Qi to pass the message to me."

"Song Qi is your man?"

"No, I recruited him when I was in Liangyi Zhai. I have checked his background and it is very clean. You can use him without worry. And Fusheng, he is a young man with great business talent. In time, he can help you run a business."

"Thank you!"

Su Nuan felt that these two dry words were meaningless, but she had nothing else to say except these two words.

"Don't be polite to me. Tell me what else you want to test. Time is limited and your driver may find me at any time."

"He won't come in without my invitation."

"He can hear what we're saying without having to come in."

"You think he'd eavesdrop?"

"Xia Qingyan, you don't really think that the Crown Prince put the secret guards by your side just to drive the carriage for you, do you?"

Su Nuan only thought that Falcon would report what he saw to Mu Yunting, but she never thought that Falcon would take the initiative to find out her secrets.

She felt very uncomfortable when Ying Shu said this.

"He will protect me."

This sentence is even drier than that thank you.

Su Nuan suddenly felt that today's conversation with Ying Shu was very uncomfortable, so she quickly changed the subject: "You have been close to Cui Shaoyuan before, but did you know that he cheated in the college entrance examination?"

Ying Shu shook his head, "I don't know. The college entrance examination had already ended when I approached him."

"Then how did you know he had what you wanted?"

"I......."

"What, you can't say it?"

Ying Shu said nothing, with an apologetic look on his face.

After waiting for a while without any reply, Su Nuan understood that he didn't want to say it. Ying Shu was very good to her, but there was a secret hidden behind this kindness.

With these secrets, she couldn't be a close friend to him.

Since they were not close friends, they should be more polite. She did not intend to make things difficult for Ying Shu or force him to say things he did not want to say.

So, he said, "Forget it if you can't tell me. I don't have anything else to ask you. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Ying Shu replied: "I don't have anything to do, I just want to see if you are okay."

This sentence was somewhat ambiguous, and Su Nuan felt a little uncomfortable. "I'm fine, you know, I lived quite well in the prison of the Dali Temple, and I didn't suffer much."

"I heard that the prince was confined to his own bedroom, and Concubine Dong was by his side. I think this was done intentionally by the emperor. Do you know what the emperor's intention is?"

Ying Shu asked this question as if he was testing Su Nuan. "That's easy to guess. The emperor has always wanted a grandson, but I can't do it, so he put the important task on Dong Jingshu."

"Since you know the emperor's intention, you should know that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. If you have feelings for the prince, don't let the emperor achieve his goal.

If Dong Jingshu gets pregnant with the prince's child, you will be honored as a mother because of the child, and your life with the prince will not be so easy.

The prince is overturning the case for the Xun family. Have you ever thought about what will happen after the Xun family's unjust case is overturned? His Royal Highness the Prince can marry his sweetheart openly and let his sweetheart sit on the position of the principal wife. By then, the principal wife will have the protection of the prince, and Dong Jingshu will have a child by her side. What do you have?"

Su Nuan wanted to say "I have money", but she couldn't say it. She was the most pitiful one in the situation described by Ying Shu.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Disrupt the emperor's plan and don't let Dong Jingshu get pregnant with the prince's child."

"How can I do such a thing? They are with me day and night, but I can't even enter the prince's courtyard."

A hint of viciousness flashed across Ying Shu's face. "There are many ways to prevent women from getting pregnant, such as tampering with their diet."

"Why would you teach me to do this?"

Su Nuan looked at Ying Shu in disbelief.

"Xia Qingyan, don't look at me like that. If you don't want to leave the prince, you have to think more about yourself. You just need to find a way to send a bowl of contraceptive soup to Dong Jingshu every day to prevent her from getting pregnant. It won't do any harm to her, and it can't be considered as harming anyone."

Su Nuan didn't expect Ying Shu to have such a big reaction. She was not a saintly person. She was willing to use some means to make herself more comfortable, especially to prevent Dong Jingshu from getting pregnant. It was just a little strange for Ying Shu to remind her.

She suppressed her doubts and said, "But wouldn't it offend the emperor if we do this?"

"Don't ask anyone else to do this. Do it yourself and no one will know."

When he said this, Ying Shu's eyes were vague, and Su Nuan's heart sank.

"Okay, I'll remember what you said. Let me go back and think about it."

"Don't think about it too long."

"I see."

"Well, I should go now. If I take too long, your driver might find me."

"it is good."

Ying Shu walked to the window and prepared to go back the same way. When he jumped onto the windowsill, he turned around and said, "Don't forget, come find me when you want to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man climbed out of the window.

Su Nuan looked at the still shaking window, her brows tightly furrowed.

Ying Shu's purpose was obvious, which was to persuade her not to let Dong Jingshu get pregnant with the prince's child.

Whether Dong Jingshu has a child or not has little to do with him, but it has a lot to do with another person.

Xun Zheng, the future Crown Princess.

If Dong Jingshu were to become pregnant with the prince's child now, she could use the status of a mother with a child to ask the emperor for the position of principal wife.

By then, no matter how much the prince likes her or tries to protect her, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep Xun Zheng as his principal wife.

Although Ying Shu did not admit that he was a member of the Xun family, he revealed in every way that he was related to Xun Zheng.

Is he a descendant of the Xun family, or another admirer of Xun Zheng?

None of this matters. What matters is that he is using me to do things for Xun Zheng.

Then his purpose of taking me away would not be simple.

Su Nuan couldn’t say how bad she felt, but it was definitely not pleasant.

After Ying Shu left, Fusheng pushed the door open and brought the account book to show Su Nuan.

Su Nuan looked at Fusheng and smiled slightly. If he said that he had nothing to do with Ying Shu, she would not believe it.

But what does it matter if they have connections? These people think they are very smart and powerful and can play her around in the palm of their hands, so she doesn't mind being a fool.

No one stipulated that she couldn't use these smart people to achieve her own goals.
