Chapter 127: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (25)
Seeing Shu Nuan’s tender white hands stained with a powder, Sheng Lingyun wondered how long she had been working in the kitchen. He felt that a nice-looking person such as Shu Nuan should not work in a place like this, and so he could not help but try to persuade her.
“Shu Nuan, quit here. I’ll give you money. If you don’t want it, can I find you a better place to work? You don’t have to work in a place like this… “
Shu Nuan knitted her brows as she pushed away Sheng Lingyun hands. She coldly said, “I don’t feel wronged working here. Moreover, it’s not a matter related to Your Highness.”
“Why are you angry? The person who made you unhappy is Fourth Brother, not me. This Prince really wants to help you!”
Sheng Lingyun was furious. He could not understand why Shu Nuan hated him.
But he did not know that this time, Shu Nuan did not want to get involved with any of them.
Still, Shu Nuan replied without emotion, “I said, I don’t need it.”
“Oh my, whose prince visited my Li shop? You’re used to eating exotic delicacies and aren’t accustomed to the delicacies in my Li shop, right?” As she spoke, the owner’s wife pointed to the rose jelly dessert on the table. “Shu Nuan, please hurry and take out. Give it to any beggar outside. You must not aggrieve the Prince by having him eat this…”
Her words made it clear that they’d rather feed the beggars than people like Sheng Lingyun.
Shu Nuan bit her lip, wanting to laugh a little. But she still took the dish and, following the shop-owner’s wife, went out and gave it to any beggars in the street.
When she came back, Sheng Lingyun had already left. She couldn’t tell whether he was angry with the owner’s wife, who snorted and said, “He wanted me to give you some money, but I didn’t receive it.”
Relieved, Shu Nuan nodded and thanked the owner’s wife.
The wife owner looked her up and down again, and said, “To be honest, you’re a pretty and noble girl. You are delicate, gentle, and considerate. You don’t look like a child who can endure hardship. If you think that I’ve aggrieved you, I’ll give you a better job. I won’t mistreat you.”
“I don’t feel wronged, “Shu Nuan replied in earnest.

In recent days, Ningcheng Yuan had discovered that Sheng Qianmo’s temper had been restrained to some degree. He often stayed in the military camp and forgot to return to his manor, almost regarding the camp as his home.
Ningcheng Yuan had just heard some news. Smug and carrying along the idea of taking credit for someone else’s achievement, he went over to strike at Sheng Qianmo’s weakness.
When he entered the other’s tent, he saw Sheng Qianmo dealing with documents without any hurry. He rubbed his hands in front of him and said with a smile, “I got important information from Su Huang!”
Sheng Qinamo didn’t look at him.
Ningcheng Yuan patted the table in resentment.
“Brother, can you give me some face?”
Sheng Qianmo expression stayed indifferent.
Ningcheng Yuan had no choice but to say with a straight face, “Shu Nuan is now working in a small pastry workshop.”
When he finished speaking, he waited for Sheng Qianmo stand up and ask him some questions. Then, he would hang him upside down, finally having an advantage over him…
He hadn’t thought that Sheng Qianmo would remain calm. No, not calm. There was no response at all, as if the person mentioned was irrelevant to him.
Ningcheng Yuan sighed. A long time later, he nodded.
“It’s normal to like the new and dislike the old, just like me.”
After a few moments of silence, Sheng Qianmo finally glanced up at him and asked, “Are you idle?”
Ningcheng Yuan could imagine what he would say next. So, as soon as his next words came out, Ningcheng Yuan lowered his head and solemnly declared that he was quite busy. Then, he slipped away.
