I just want to live a good life

Chapter 298 Black Cat Xiaofu

Xun Zheng just said a few words and Mu Yunting helped her to ask for the family property.

A small courtyard in the Prince's Mansion is nothing compared to the Xun family's assets. Xun Zheng's show-off is really fierce.

However, Su Nuan was not envious. After all, that was someone else's ancestral property. Since the Xun family was wronged, no matter how annoying Xun Zheng was, it was only natural that the Xun family's property should be handed over to her. Su Nuan had this awareness.

What's more, the Xun family also has Ying Shu, so this property does not only belong to Xun Zheng, but also to Ying Shu.

The three of them talked for a few more words, and then Mu Yunting ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Su Nuan was relieved that she didn't have to use her small kitchen to prepare the food. She didn't know why, but she really didn't want Xun Zheng to use the people and things in Duiyue Residence, even if it was just to eat something as a guest.

The winter sun sets early, and it is dark by dinner time.

Just when Chunliu and others were busy preparing to change to a larger table, Xun Zheng suggested going to Wangyue Tower for dinner.

"When Brother Yunting first moved into the Prince's Mansion, he invited me and Lianzhi to have a drink at the Moon Viewing Tower. The three of us had a great time chatting and drinking. Unfortunately, something happened to the Xun family not long after that day, and I never had the chance to meet you two again. Over the years, whenever I feel depressed, I can always think of that day. Today, I am able to visit the Prince's Mansion again, and the place I want to revisit the most is the Moon Viewing Tower."

Given Mu Yunting's love for Xun Zheng, there was no reason for her to be dissatisfied since she had already spoken up.

So even though the weather was cold, Mu Yunting still had the food delivered to Wangyue Tower.

Then the three of them moved to the Moon Watching Tower.

Before going out, Chunliu took out a silver fox cloak and put it on Su Nuan.

Compared with Xun Zheng's plain cotton robe, Su Nuan's cloak seems too luxurious.

The three of them came to Wangyue Tower, where the top floor had been rearranged.

There were eight braziers placed around the table, with silver charcoal burning brightly, warming the table.

As soon as they sat down, Xun Zheng and Mu Yunting started chatting about the past.

Su Nuan couldn't get a word in and felt resentful. She looked at the eight braziers with increasing displeasure. The Crown Prince's bedroom didn't even have such facilities.

Judging from how heated their conversation was, this meal would take at least an hour or two, and the silver charcoal alone would cost two taels of silver.

These people don't know that money is hard to earn, and they don't feel sorry at all when they spend it.

It's so pretentious to eat out in the middle of winter.

Feeling dissatisfied, Su Nuan vented her emotions on the food. She didn't say a word the whole time and just ate.

Suddenly, a duck leg appeared out of nowhere in the bowl in front of me.

She caught a glimpse of Mu Yunting's hand, which he had not yet retracted, so she looked up and gave Mu Yunting a smile. But the moment she looked up, she saw that there was also a duck leg in Xun Zheng's bowl.

Su Nuan quickly withdrew her smile and rolled her eyes at Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting was inexplicably given a cold stare and felt confused. He chatted with Xun Zheng while secretly glancing at Su Nuan.

Su Nuan continued to eat, not noticing that Mu Yunting was peeking at her.

Xun Zheng noticed that Mu Yunting was absent-minded, and while he was telling a story about the past, she picked up the duck leg in her bowl and started eating. After trying many of the eight-treasure ducks, she found that only the one made by the chef in the Prince's Mansion was the best to her taste. As soon as the duck was served, she couldn't help but pick up a duck leg.

Unexpectedly, the prince would give the other duck leg to Concubine Xia, which made Xun Zheng very unhappy.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became cold.

Su Nuan and Xun Zheng ate silently. Mu Yunting tried to pick up some food for Su Nuan again. He found that as long as he didn't pick up the Eight Treasure Duck, she would give him a smile. But if he picked up the Eight Treasure Duck, she would roll her eyes at him. This discovery made him happy and felt fresh. Then he started to enjoy feeding her.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Nuan finished her meal. When she raised her eyes from the food, she noticed something strange on the table. The two people who were originally chatting animatedly were eating in silence.

The atmosphere became dull, and she didn't like it. If it were her personality, she would have said something to warm up the atmosphere and liven it up again. But with Xun Zheng sitting opposite her, she would rather the atmosphere remained dull and simply turned her head to enjoy the night view.

Just as she turned her head away, a black shadow attacked her. She subconsciously dodged to the side, and then saw the black shadow rushing straight towards Xun Zheng.

"what!"

A scream resounded through the sky.

At this time, Su Nuan also saw the true appearance of the black shadow, it was actually a black cat.

The black cat was chubby like a blown-up ball, but extremely agile. It pounced on Xun Zheng with its front paws and grabbed him hard, leaving two bloody marks on his raised forearm.

Mu Yunting quickly reached out to grab the black cat, but his arm protected Su Nuan first, which made the action of grabbing the cat slow down a bit. After the black cat grabbed Xun Zheng's arm, it took advantage of the force to jump lightly, easily dodged Mu Yunting's grab, and jumped onto the railing. After a few jumps, it disappeared into the night.

The accident happened too quickly, and Su Nuan didn't react until the black cat disappeared. She patted her chest, as if this could soothe her frightened heart.

On the other side, Mu Yunting had already stood up to check on Xun Zheng's injuries.

With the help of candlelight, Su Nuan also saw Xun Zheng's wounds clearly. There were four scars with flesh flying around and blood flowing non-stop.

"Go get the doctor."

Su Nuan leaned on the railing and shouted loudly downstairs.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never allows anyone to serve him closely when he goes to the Moon-Watching Tower. The servants who attend him are all waiting downstairs. As soon as Su Nuan shouted, someone immediately trotted away.

Turning around, the first thing Su Nuan saw was Mu Yunting's anxious look. She curled her lips, took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Mu Yunting, who took the handkerchief and began to stop the bleeding and bandage Xun Zheng.

With this episode, the meal could no longer continue. The three of them went downstairs from Wangyue Tower. Su Nuan thought for a moment and then took the two to the guest room.

While waiting for the imperial physician to arrive, Mu Yunting began to trace the origins of the black cat.

The Prince's Mansion has never kept cats, and Su Nuan herself is not interested in keeping small animals, so this cat that suddenly appeared is very suspicious.

The person who went to check the cat came back soon to report that the cat turned out to be from Furongyuan, and the person who raised the cat was Dong Jingshu.

Mu Yunting ordered his men to kill the cat, but when the man came back to report, he did not bring back the body of the black cat, but the crying Dong Jingshu.

As soon as she saw Mu Yunting, Dong Jingshu knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Xiaofu didn't mean to scratch your guest. Please spare its life."

"Don't you know that cats are not allowed in the Prince's Mansion?"

Mu Yunting shouted angrily.

Dong Jingshu said aggrievedly: "I don't know. No one told me when I entered the mansion!"
