I just want to live a good life

"How was the conversation?"

Su Nuan lifted the car curtain and asked Mu Yunyi.

"Not so good." Mu Yunyi frowned. "The boss is planning to transfer the shop, but he is asking for a huge transfer fee of 100,000 taels."

"It will be easy if he plans to transfer it."

"One hundred thousand taels! Even if you sell me, you can't get that much money."

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, is not even worth 100,000 taels of silver? The Second Prince is really too self-deprecating."

"Even if I'm worth so much money, who can afford to buy me?"

"Forehead......"

Su Nuan was speechless, "I have to say that this is a good question!"

“So, I don’t think there’s any chance of buying the UBS building.”

"Don't jump to conclusions so soon. Maybe we can buy it at a lower price."

"Sister-in-law, do you have an idea?"

"The key to the success of this deal lies with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Su Nuan waved for Mu Yunyi to get on the carriage.

As soon as Su Nuan told her plan in the carriage, Mu Yunyi immediately gave her a thumbs up.

"Sister-in-law, your idea is really brilliant. No wonder you came to me for such a good thing. No one else would dare to do such a thing except me."

"Then do you dare?"

"I dare you. What am I afraid of? The prince will not argue with me about this."

"Okay, I found the wrong person. We'll split the deal 50-50 after we're done."

Su Nuan smiled like a fox.

"Okay, it's settled."

That afternoon, Mu Yunyi went to the Ministry of Justice for the first time and asked the prince about the progress of the investigation into Cheng Ji.

He also asked for a badge from the Ministry of Justice on the pretext of helping.

In the next few days, Mu Yunyi went to the Ministry of Justice every day to lead a team of people to cause trouble at UBS Building under the pretext of investigating a case.

Although Cheng Ji has fallen, Ruiyin Building still has the Queen Mother as its backer. Especially, the amount of tribute paid by Ruiyin Building to the Queen Mother every year is not small. If an ordinary official came to Ruiyin Building to cause trouble, the boss would never compromise. But the person who caused trouble for them is the Second Prince, the Crown Prince's younger brother, so this is different.

And the most important thing is that the second prince is the empress dowager's biological grandson. He acted like a spoiled child in front of the empress dowager and promised to give her shares after he bought UBS. Then the empress dowager happily agreed to his pressure on UBS and even took out three thousand taels of silver to buy shares.

Without the support of the Queen Mother, the owner of UBS Building could no longer bear the constant pressure from Mu Yunyi, and finally agreed to sell UBS Building for 30,000 taels.

This price was within Su Nuan's expectations.

But she didn't have that much money, so she had to borrow from everywhere.

But the only place she could borrow money from was the General's Mansion. However, General Xia had been using his savings to subsidize his old brothers over the years, so he couldn't lend much money to Su Nuan. The whole family could only barely scrape together three thousand taels.

Su Nuan went to borrow money from her best friend Cui Ruyi again, but unfortunately she was a step too late. Cui Ruyi had already lent all her money to Mu Yunyi.

If Su Nuan wanted to split the thirty thousand taels in a fifty-fifty manner, she would have to take out fifteen thousand taels of silver. She borrowed three thousand taels from the Xia family, and could come up with two thousand taels of her own, but she had no idea where to get the remaining ten thousand taels.

She couldn't eat or sleep these past few days. She finally had the opportunity to buy the UBS building, and she was unwilling to accept it if she could only get 20% of the shares.

That night, the kitchen sent over some of Su Nuan's favorite side dishes, as well as an eight-treasure duck.

Su Nuan was so angry when she saw the Eight Treasure Duck. She had no appetite to begin with, and after seeing the duck, she didn't even want to eat dinner.

After having the food taken away, she lay down on the table and began to design her jewelry.

If all goes well, these will be the first batch of jewelry sold after she takes over the UBS building. She strives for perfection, so she modifies the design draft one after another, and she won't tolerate any dissatisfaction.

As long as there is money to be made, Su Nuan will turn into a workaholic. She starts working at dinner time and works until late at night without realizing it.

She stopped only when she became too hungry to bear it anymore.

At this moment, let alone eating the Eight Treasure Duck that others like, she can even eat the Eight Treasure Duck that others have left over.

But she had already given the duck to Chunliu and the other three, and it was not convenient to ask anyone to make it for her so late, so she had to do it herself.

Fortunately, Duiyueju has its own small kitchen. Although it has not been used much recently, it still has rice, flour and seasonings.

She prepared to make herself a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

There were cabbages planted by Baozhu in the yard. Su Nuan picked the smallest one and pulled it out.

There were some previously pickled duck eggs in the kitchen. A bowl of vegetarian noodles and a salted duck egg was considered a rich meal.

When Su Nuan returned to her room with some midnight snacks, she found Mu Yunting in her room.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"I was hungry and wanted to find something to eat. I saw the light on in your kitchen so I came over."

Su Nuan looked at the noodles in her hand and then at Mu Yunting, then lowered her head and drank a mouthful of the noodle soup without hesitation.

"Sorry, I've already eaten this bowl of noodles."

"It's okay, I don't mind it."

Mu Yunting took the bowl of noodles and chopsticks from Su Nuan without hesitation, sat at the table and prepared to eat.

Su Nuan snatched the chopsticks and said viciously: "If you want to eat, go get a bowl and chopsticks yourself."

"I don't know where the bowls and chopsticks are. Go get them. And make another bowl. I didn't eat lunch, so these won't be enough."

"Your Highness, why are you using me instead of the chef?"

"Because the plain noodles you make are delicious."

"That's not enough reason."

"Is this enough?"

Mu Yunting took out a stack of banknotes and placed them in front of Su Nuan.

The top one has a face value of one thousand taels. A quick glance shows that there are ten notes in this stack, which means ten thousand taels.

Su Nuan's hands were shaking with excitement.

"Well, is that enough?"

Mu Yunting asked again.

"That's enough, that's enough, Your Highness, enjoy your meal. I'll go make you another bowl of noodles."

Su Nuan handed over the chopsticks in her hand in a servile manner, and then left the room happily. Before leaving, she did not forget to return to collect the banknotes.

Making a bowl of noodles was a piece of cake for Su Nuan. A quarter of an hour later, she returned to the room with the cooked noodles.

At this time, Mu Yunting had finished the first bowl of noodles and was still not satisfied, so Su Nuan served him the second bowl of noodles at the right time.

"Do you really like silver so much?"

"Of course, who doesn't like something as good as silver?"

"Then I'll give you the power to run the house. Are you willing to accept it?"

"What's good?"

"The advantage is that you have money whenever you need it, without having to borrow from others."

"Do you want to exchange it?"

"You are allowed to take 10,000 taels every year. If you take more than that, you must pay it back."

Meixiang had said before that the power to manage the Prince's Mansion was equivalent to the Empress's power to assist the six palaces. Getting the power to manage the Prince's Mansion was of great significance.

Plus, there was 10,000 taels to be won, so Su Nuan was tempted.
