I just want to live a good life

Chapter 448: Sleeve Shaking Technique

Su Nuan looked at Xia Changxiao uneasily, unsure of how he would deal with her.

Will they treat her as a monster and burn her on the fire?

Just as Su Nuan was feeling anxious, Xia Changxiao walked towards her and put a big hand on her head.

Su Nuan felt a chill in her heart, and her heart went straight to her head.

"Brother, listen to me."

Su Nuan grabbed Xia Changxiao's hand and said hurriedly.

"What else are you talking about? It's your brothers who failed to protect you and caused you to suffer."

"Ah?" Su Nuan didn't react and looked at Xia Changxiao in surprise.

Xia Changxiao rubbed her head with his big hand and said softly, "I saw you trying your best to promote the marriage between the Crown Prince and Princess Fanli at the palace banquet that day. I thought you and the Crown Prince were just getting married by imperial decree and had no feelings for each other. I didn't expect that you were deeply in love with him, but he married new people less than a year after your marriage. No wonder you didn't even want to make it public, such a big thing as being pregnant. You must be afraid of being targeted by his concubines. Don't be afraid, I have your back. What's wrong with being the Crown Princess? I will definitely help you ascend to the throne."

Su Nuan was stunned. The reversal came too quickly and she was caught off guard.

"Brother, I..."

I don't know where to start.

How did he know that he was deeply in love with Mu Yunting, and how did he know that she was pregnant?

"You don't need to say more. Our daughter, who was raised in the palm of our hand, cannot be wronged even if she marries into the royal family. If I can't even protect you, what's the point of me being her brother?"

If she hadn't been so frightened just now and hadn't yet recovered, Su Nuan would probably have been moved to tears by these words.

However, although he was touched, he still had to figure out why Liao Xinyi told her eldest brother the secret of her pregnancy. Is this secret now known only to her eldest brother or is it known to everyone in the general's mansion?

"Brother, you didn't tell anyone else that I'm pregnant, right?"

Su Nuan asked tentatively.

"Not yet. How can I announce this for you? I'll go with you to see your parents later, and you can tell them yourself."

It’s good that he didn’t say it. Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her little heart started beating again.

"Brother, I don't want anyone to know about this."

"Why?" Xia Changxiao asked puzzledly.

Su Nuan hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "I don't want to give birth to a child in the Prince's Mansion."

Xia Changxiao frowned and asked, "But did the prince's women bully you?"

It was certain that he was bullied, but the real Su Nuan knew that the real reason was Mu Yunting, so she shook her head.

"Why is that?"

Xia Changxiao asked.

Su Nuan thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I don't like the life in the Prince's Mansion. I don't have as deep feelings for the Prince as you said, brother. I don't want to be trapped there for him. I also don't want my child to be bound by an identity."

This is her true thought. She may be reserved with others, but she has to tell the truth to her eldest brother because she still needs his support in the future.

After hearing Su Nuan's words, Xia Changxiao frowned. He thought what he said just now was a bit premature. He didn't expect that his sister would have such a rebellious idea.

Even if she asked to ruin the marriage between the Crown Prince and Miss Xun, Xia Changxiao was willing to plan for her, but what she said was really shocking.

Xia Changxiao didn't say anything for a long time, because he really didn't know what to say, whether to scold his sister for having such thoughts or to support her pursuit of freedom.

Reason told him that he should choose the former, but he couldn't say it in front of his beloved sister who he had doted on since childhood.

After holding it in for a long time, Xia Changxiao sighed and said faintly, "It would be better if you were a man."

Su Nuan didn't expect that she would be told this after speaking so openly to her elder brother. She asked weakly, "Brother, do you think I'm troublesome?"

Xia Changxiao quickly denied, "Of course not, I just think that your carefree personality would be more comfortable as a man."

Su Nuan agreed with this statement, but she couldn't imagine the scene of herself traveling through time and space and becoming a man, with her mother busy looking for girls for her to go on blind dates.

Now is not the time to imagine this. Business is more important. Su Nuan pulled Xia Changxiao's sleeve and shook it gently, while whispering, "Brother, are you willing to help me?"

As far as I can remember, the original owner used this trick to deal with his father and it always worked. Su Nuan also tried it on his father personally and it really worked. I wonder how effective this trick would be on my eldest brother.

Unexpectedly, Xia Changxiao's face changed, he pulled out his sleeves and took two steps back. His reaction was so big that Su Nuan was shocked.

"Please let me think about it."

After saying this, Xia Changxiao turned around and ran away as if he had seen a ghost.

This girl's sleeve-waving technique is a deadly move that has never failed, so you must stay away from her.

The last time he shook his sleeves like this was about ten years ago, when my younger sister asked him to steal the imperial horse to ride. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's help to cover it up, he would have either been killed by the Emperor or had his legs broken by my father.

From then on, he no longer dared to let his little sister shake his sleeves.

This girl's request is so excessive that he needs to think carefully before making any plans. He must not be fooled by her sleeve-waving technique and make a wrong decision.

Watching Xia Changxiao running away as if for his life, Su Nuan stood there in a daze, forgetting to let go of the hand that had just pulled Xia Changze's sleeve.

Is this big brother seriously ill? He acts like a ghost when I act cute with him. This is really embarrassing!

Su Nuan secretly complained about Xia Changxiao's back, but when she thought about it carefully, she came to her senses. Her brother was not afraid of her shaking her sleeves and acting coquettishly, but was afraid that she would ask him for help.

If he doesn't help, it will be a lot of trouble for her. If possible, Su Nuan still hopes to get help from her elder brother.

But if the other party insists on not helping, there is nothing you can do.

You can just not help, but you can't tell your secrets to others.

She was going to give him the same reminder, but unfortunately, her brother ran away before she could say anything.

Su Nuan was worried that Xia Changxiao would tell his secret, so she chased in the direction Xia Changxiao fled.

One was trying to chase, the other was trying to escape. Even though Xia Changxiao's lightness skills were quite good, he couldn't get rid of Su Nuan in such a small space in the backyard of the general's mansion, so the brother and sister started a chase.

The scene shocked the entire general's residence for a time, and then spread through the mouths of the servants. Within half a day, various versions of the rumors were flying all over the imperial city.

"Have you heard that Concubine Xia is making trouble again, chasing after her own brother and beating him up?"

"Third Master Xia was seriously injured, and she didn't let him go?"

"That's not the Third Young Master, that's General Xiao Xia."

"Oh my god! She is going to turn the tables on Tian Gang!"

"You think Tian Gang is being too much. She is the Crown Prince's concubine after all. In terms of status, General Xiao Xia is a minister."

"Then there is no concubine beating the ministers!"

"There wasn't one before, but now there is one. This Concubine Xia is really an extraordinary woman. She can do anything."

"A shrew is a shrew. No matter how amazing a woman is, she won't listen to you even if you try to curry favor with her."

"..."

Originally, some people outside said that the person who was actually injured in the Xia family was Xia Changxiao, saying that he was seriously injured on the battlefield and came back this time to treat his injuries. But after Su Nuan's fuss, no one was willing to believe this statement.
