I just want to live a good life

Chapter 471 Friendship is not fake

In the guest room of the general's mansion, Su Nuan was staring blankly at the warm cup of tea.

"Aren't you going to tell the Crown Prince yet?" Liao Xinyi asked.

Su Nuan thought about it and shook her head.

"Given how the Crown Prince feels about you, telling him you're pregnant right now would do you no harm, but you insist on not telling him. Tell me the truth, do you have any plans?"

Liao Xinyi continued to ask.

Having said that, Su Nuan no longer needed to hide anything and said, "I want to leave the Imperial City."

"Leaving?" Liao Xinyi asked in surprise, "Where are you going after leaving the Imperial City? Will His Royal Highness let you leave?"

As soon as the words fell, Liao Xinyi was stunned, and then murmured: "You want to leave secretly without telling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Su Nuan nodded.

"why?"

"He could only keep one between me and Xun Zheng, and he chose Xun Zheng."

"He told you personally that he chose Xun Zheng over you?"

"Need I say that? In a few months he will marry Xun Zheng as his Crown Princess."

Liao Xinyi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "As a bystander, I always feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has deep feelings for you. I have never met Xun Zheng, and I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats her, but I don't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have feelings for another woman while treating you like this."

"That's because you don't know the position of Xun Zheng in his heart. She is the white moonlight that he has kept at the top of his heart for eight years."

Liao Xinyi didn't know what "white moonlight" was, but when she imagined a bright moon hanging in the sky, she immediately understood its meaning.

"As far as I know, Miss Xun died eight years ago. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cared about her for the past eight years, he only mourns her as if she were dead, right? I think even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has feelings for Xun Zheng, they are not necessarily romantic, but more like a feeling of mourning for an old friend."

"What difference does it make? The person he mourns for is now standing in front of him alive. He doesn't have to mourn anymore and can love her happily."

Liao Xinyi smiled faintly and said, "If he really loved Xun Zheng, why would he set the wedding date so far in the future? If the person I have been missing for eight years suddenly appeared, he would definitely marry her as soon as possible."

Su Nuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "It is a big deal for the Crown Prince to marry his first wife, the date must be calculated by the Imperial Observatory."

"Does that mean there won't be any good days in the past six months?"

"This... shouldn't be the case." Su Nuan answered unconfidently. She had never thought about this matter carefully before, and was a little surprised when Liao Xinyi suddenly brought it up.

"Even if there are no good days, there are always ordinary days. As long as His Royal Highness is willing, the date will never be set so far away, so I don't think His Royal Highness is in a hurry to marry Xun Zheng."

Liao Xinyi continued to analyze.

Su Nuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and she quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Silly girl, how come you are so smart when it comes to your own problems? The fact that the Crown Prince is not in a hurry to marry Xun Zheng proves that his feelings for her are not as deep as you think!"

Su Nuan's mind was a little confused.

Then Liao Xinyi continued, "Ah Nuan, I have never seen a man who cares so much about his wife. Do you remember the first time you came to my clinic? At that time, your leg was injured. When I was treating your wound, I accidentally saw the look in His Royal Highness's eyes when he looked at you. His eyes were full of pity. Ah Nuan, as a bystander, I can see clearly that His Royal Highness's affection for you is genuine."

Su Nuan finally sorted out her thoughts. She really wanted to ask Mu Yunting if she had a place in his heart.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Liao, is my second young lady here with you?"

The servant must have something urgent to tell him when he knocked on the door so late. Su Nuan quickly got up and opened the door herself.

"Second Miss, it's great that you are here."

"What happened?"

Su Nuan asked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to compete with the eldest young master. The eldest young master asked me to ask the second young lady to go over and persuade him."

"Jousting?"

Su Nuan was shocked, but without thinking about the reason, she quickly followed the servant to the martial arts hall.

Liao Xinyi heard the conversation at the door clearly, and she followed Su Nuan's footsteps and hurried to the martial arts hall.

In front of the martial arts hall, General Xia was persuading his son to accept the challenge from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"We are all family, so why should you worry? He was fighting with the third brother before you came back. They were both bruised and battered, but the prince never bothered the third brother."

Xia Changxiao thought that it was the Crown Prince's idea to keep the third brother locked up in his room for half a month. If he deliberately made trouble for the third brother, he would have to endure a lot of suffering.

"Dad, I can't compete with the prince. Look at his face. He must be upset with my little sister. If I compete with him now, it's fine if I lose. But if I win, I'm afraid the prince will feel upset."

General Xia thought for a moment and felt that his son's words made sense, but after thinking about it again, he felt something was wrong. "If you say so, you should fight with him and let him vent his anger towards your sister, so as to avoid any rift between the two of them."

Xia Changxiao was stunned. Was his father asking him to get beaten?

Stop it, he is not the third brother, how could he possibly ask for a beating?

"If we don't fight well, the gap between them will get bigger."

"If you let him have his fun, his resentment will disappear."

"..."

While the father and son were still arguing, Su Nuan had already arrived at the battlefield.

Seeing Mu Yunting standing there with a tense face, she walked a few steps to Mu Yunting, grabbed his wrist, and pulled away.

"Let me go."

Mu Yunting said in a deep voice.

Su Nuan didn't even turn her head and replied with two words in a firm tone: "I won't let go."

Mu Yunting wasn't sure what she meant by pulling him away, so he just followed her silently.
