I just want to live a good life

Chapter 319 is a good thing

When she left the room as she wished, she saw a spacious courtyard, almost as big as her Duiyue Residence.

There was a black pot in the middle of the yard, and the bottom of the pot was burnt black.

Su Nuan had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and deal with the pot first.

It took a lot of effort to clean the pot and get ready to start grilling.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is roasting, it should be said that the meat is being fried, but with Su Nuan's cooking skills, the taste of frying is no worse than roasting.

She let the fire dry the pot first, then picked up a piece of fat and was about to put it in the pot. When she looked up, she saw three pairs of eyes staring at her hands. She immediately stopped what she was doing and asked curiously, "Have you never cooked before?"

Lao Liu shook his head subconsciously.

"Men should learn some cooking skills and not follow those male chauvinism that says men should stay away from the kitchen. That's all nonsense. In life, there are only two things to eat and drink, and what is more important than having a full stomach?"

Su Nuan spoke as her hands moved, rubbing the fat around the bottom of the pot, making the pot shiny with oil.

Then she picked out some meat with more fat and placed it on the bottom of the pot.

The temperature is the most important when frying meat, so Su Nuan personally watched the charcoal fire.

"Why don't you sit down? The meat is almost ready. You can't eat it standing up."

The three men looked at each other, then brought small stools and sat around the pot.

The meat in the pot already had some fragrance. Su Nuan turned the meat over and sprinkled seasoning on it, making the fragrance even stronger.

The sound of swallowing saliva sounded quietly beside me.

Su Nuan took a sneak peek and continued, "I really don't understand how your boss arranged it. He left the three of you who can't cook at home and asked me to cook for you. I guess he doesn't want to do this anymore. I'll report him to your master when I see him."

As he spoke, his hands were not idle. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Seeing this, the three men quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating the meat.

Lao Liu chewed the meat and said vaguely: "It's no use for you to complain. The master has arranged other things for the eldest brother, and he has no time to come back to cook."

Su Nuan has seen a total of five faces since yesterday's carriage. Yesterday, Zhao Zong and a pervert whom he called Lao San were in the carriage. The two were not there today, but Su Nuan never expected that the person who cooked for this group of people was Zhao Zong.

I don’t know if the three people in front of me are at the same level as Zhao Zong.

"Alas, there is not enough charcoal. Can one of you go get some more?"

The two men looked at Lao Liu at the same time, but Lao Liu was so busy eating meat that he didn't even notice their eyes.

One of them couldn't help but speak up, "Sixth Brother, go get some charcoal and some meat. This amount of meat is not enough."

Su Nuan knew that these people were sorted by numbers. The one called Lao Liu had been running errands all the time, and he was probably the youngest among them.

Lao Liu hurriedly brought the charcoal and meat.

The four of them then ate the meat.

The meat meal lasted until noon.

Su Nuan also learned through casual chatting that there were a total of six robbers. Four, five, and six were responsible for guarding her, one and three were out to carry out their master's tasks, and two, who had not appeared, was nowhere to be found.

It was precisely because of the existence of this missing person that Su Nuan did not dare to act rashly.

After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Nuan was locked back into the room.

She finally began to think seriously about escaping.

This time she was abducted differently from the previous times. She was secretly taken out of the palace.

Seeing how relaxed the guards outside were, there must have been no large-scale search for her yet, and Mu Yunting probably didn't know that she had been taken out of the palace.

So this time, Su Nuan has to save herself.

From the kung fu that Lao Liu showed before, we can infer that this group of people are all quite skilled, so it is not easy to escape from them.

While eating meat outside, she secretly observed the surrounding environment. This should be a house at the foot of a mountain outside the city. It is very large and quiet.

Usually, this kind of house is a villa of wealthy families, built in a deserted place.

Just like the Xia family’s orchard, there are fruit trees all over the mountain, with a house surrounded in the middle.

In this environment, even if you escape, you won't be able to find help in a short period of time. But the good thing is that as long as you escape and hide in the dense forest, it will be difficult to find you.

But how could he escape under the guard of three people?

While Su Nuan was thinking about how to save herself, the palace on the other side was in chaos.

The disappearance of the Crown Prince's concubine was such a major event that it was impossible to conceal. After the Emperor, the Empress and the Crown Prince found various reasons to search the palace without any results, Mu Yunting no longer had so many concerns. Xia Qingyan had been missing for nearly twelve hours and there was still no clue. In the huge palace, there was no trace of her having been there. He was panicked.

Without caring about protecting Xia Qingyan's reputation, he called in all the people who might have seen Xia Qingyan that day for questioning, including the guests who came to the palace banquet.

Because of Princess Fanli's determined look, he even went to search the place where the Fanli delegation was staying.

If there wasn't an emperor in the palace, Mu Yunting would probably have dug the palace upside down.

But even if he showed mercy, he still made a mess of the palace, especially the emperor's favorite lotus pond, where the mud at the bottom of the pond was turned up.

"Rebellious son, this rebellious son!"

The emperor kept cursing as he walked, and when he arrived at Fengyi Palace, he saw the palace servants were busy cleaning.

"Is this also the work of that rebellious son?"

The emperor pointed to the mess on the ground and asked the queen.

What can the queen say? After all, he is her son. Even if the prince is really wrong, she, as a mother, must do her best to protect him.

"Your Majesty, please do not blame Ting'er. I knocked it over myself."

"Humph, why would so many things be knocked over for no reason? Stop covering up for that rebellious son."

"Your Majesty, Ting'er is just worried that Xia Qingyan has lost her sense of propriety. Your Majesty, please do not blame him."

"Alas, at the beginning, this child was devoted to protecting Lou Guang. Although he was the crown prince, no girl was willing to marry him. I had no choice but to force him to marry the girl from the Xia family. I wanted to use the girl to deal with Lou Guang, but I didn't expect that he would care so much about the girl. If I had known this, I shouldn't have forced him to marry."

"Your Majesty is right, and Ting'er is also right. It's all because of the allergy. Because of the allergy, Ting'er never lets women get close to him. The backyard has been empty all these years, and he even refused to take in a maid. If he was willing to pay more attention to other women, he wouldn't be so bewitched by Xia Qingyan.

Now that Xia Qingyan is missing, it may not be a bad thing."

"Oh? What does the Queen mean?"
