I just want to live a good life

Chapter 223: The First Child is a Boy or a Girl

The Crown Prince, who was criticized by Mei Changli as useless, was not really useless.

I was just distracted for a moment.

After being a vegetarian for so many years, he suddenly started eating meat. Even if he tried hard to control himself, the seductive look of that person in his mind could not be shaken off.

What's more, Mei Changli is a talkative person. He would talk at length about things that can be explained in just a few words.

His and Mei Runian's words combined can be summed up in one sentence: someone is plundering money in Xiaomian County and building up his own power.

This Xiaomian County belongs to the fiefdom of Prince Guang'an. The only person who can act so unscrupulously in his fiefdom is Prince Guang'an himself.

But if we say that Prince Guang'an amassed wealth and believed in Yun Tingxin, then why did he build up his power?

Is it also for that supreme position?

He has no qualifications, let alone the ability. The most important thing is that he has no son. What's the point of grabbing the position? He can't just satisfy his own desire to be an emperor and then ignore the inheritance after his death.

Yes, son. Xia Qingyan’s first child doesn’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl?

I should work harder and strive to become a father in ten months.

Boy or girl, they are all his treasures.

The smile on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face deepened.

Mei Changli felt uneasy when he laughed at her.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Mu Yunting was unhappy that his sweet dream was interrupted, but he didn't dare show it on his face.

"I know everything Master Mei said."

"What are your plans, Your Highness?"

"Don't alert the enemy yet. I will come and clean up this mess when I have time."

The word "mess" was spoken in a more serious tone, and Mei Changli's body shook violently.

The prince is blaming him, but he also feels wronged!

He had only been the governor of Xiaomian County for three years and had just gotten to know the ins and outs of the county. Originally, he could not afford to offend Prince Guang'an, who was like a big Buddha. In addition, most of the officials in the county, big and small, had been won over by him. No matter what he wanted to investigate, he could not avoid Prince Guang'an. Even the little evidence he had in his hand was handed to him by the magistrate of Wuling County.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep since the evidence came into his hands.

This is a hot potato.

It's not right for him to investigate this matter, nor is it right for him not to investigate it.

If we investigate, we will have to confront King Guang'an. If we don't investigate, we will be in big trouble if the matter is exposed in the future.

He had no choice but to suppress the matter for the time being.

Prince Guang'an sent people to test him every few days, but he always kept his mouth shut and did not respond.

He originally thought he could delay it, but he didn't expect that Prince Guang'an was faster than him and took action first. He tried to win him over and organized a lantern festival to pray for his mother, and finally used this to impeach him.

The Prince of Guang'an is the Emperor's younger brother.

Mei Changli felt miserable because his arms were no match for his thighs!

Mu Yunting felt unhappy when he saw Mei Changli's bitter face.

This man is timid and has no ability. If he can't handle the matter of Prince Guang'an well, he will really have to be replaced in the future.

"Okay, I still have things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yunting walked away.

Mei Changli hurriedly followed him out.

"Master Mei, please stay. Please don't make public my visit today."

On this side, Mu Yunting left the County Magistrate's Mansion, and on the other side, Su Nuan and Leng Yue entered the largest silver shop in Xiaomian County.

Ever since she started the jewelry store business, Su Nuan loves to go in whenever she sees one.

Although Xiaomian County is not as wealthy as the Imperial City, and the things there are not as exquisite as those in the Imperial City, Su Nuan still took great interest in the items inside the silver shop when she entered it.

Small places have their own advantages, the patterns are very distinctive, and some of the designs can even be seen to be made to accommodate the materials, but they are also cleverly done.

Su Nuan chose a coral bracelet for herself and a jade bracelet for Leng Yue.

When she was about to take out the silver to pay, a young lady snatched the jade bracelet from her hand.

"I like this bracelet. Please pack it for me."

"this......"

The shopkeeper looked at Su Nuan with some embarrassment.

The young lady followed the shopkeeper's gaze and looked at Su Nuan, her narrow eyes full of disdain.

It's obvious that this young lady grew up in a wealthy family. Judging from her domineering behavior, her family must have some influence in Xiaomian County.

But what if she has power? Su Nuan won’t be afraid.

"It doesn't matter. If the lady likes it, just give it to her."

It was obvious that the shopkeeper didn't want to offend the young lady, so when he heard Su Nuan say that, he happily wrapped the jade bracelet and handed it to the young lady.

Su Nuan watched the woman pay the money and then slowly said, "Boss, show me all the bracelets in your store that are more expensive than that jade bracelet."

After saying that, he took out a silver note and slapped it on the table.

Silver bills have different denominations, but no matter how small the denomination is, it is still a silver bill. So even if Su Nuan deliberately puts her hand on the amount of the silver bill to prevent others from seeing it, the shopkeeper knows that this is a wealthy man and that he can make a lot of money by serving him well.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, young lady. I'll get it for you right away."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and the clerks around him started moving, taking out more than a dozen bracelets and placing them in front of Su Nuan.

Su Nuan first looked at the young lady proudly. Without saying a word, her eyes said everything she needed to say: Little guy, if you have the guts, come and grab it again!

This is a blatant provocation!

I can't bear it!

The young lady raised her brows and turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I want all these bracelets. Pack them all for me."

The shopkeeper was delighted and did not hesitate this time. He immediately ordered his clerk to pack the bracelets. He took out an abacus and clattered a few times. He looked up and said to the young lady, "Miss Yu, here are twelve bracelets in total, for a total of 665 taels of silver."

Miss Yu called out to the maid beside her, "Haitang, bring the banknotes."

The shopkeeper put away the banknotes and secretly glanced at Su Nuan.

Su Nuan read encouragement from the shopkeeper's eyes and almost laughed out loud.

This shopkeeper is a smart one.

"Boss, this is your fault. You sold all the bracelets I looked at to others. What's the matter? Do you not want to do business with me or are you afraid that I don't have money?"

This time, before Su Nuan could take out the banknote, Leng Yue had already slapped a banknote on the table.

She didn't hide it like Su Nuan did. A silver note was lying on the counter, exactly one thousand taels.

"Bring us the best jewelry from your store."

The shopkeeper smiled and ran around the store with his fat body. In a short while, he placed some of the best jewelry in the store in front of Su Nuan.

Su Nuan could estimate the price of the jewelry at a glance. She didn't know whether these things were the best kept items, but they were definitely the most expensive ones sold in the store.

"My dear lady, these are the best things in our store. Please take a look and see if there is anything that catches your eye."

But after the shopkeeper finished speaking, he didn't even look at Su Nuan, but turned to look at Miss Yu.

This time, not only Su Nuan and Leng Yue, but also Haitang, the maidservant beside Miss Yu, looked at their lady with anticipation.

Surrounded by everyone's gazes, Miss Yu was slightly startled, and then a scornful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
