Chapter 933 Studying How to Deal with People

Su Nuan used to think that it was not necessary to be so rigid, but Lu Bayue and Sister Hong followed the rules seriously.

Of course, if they really want something, they will definitely ask for it openly, and Su Nuan has never refused any of their requests.

Su Nuan glanced at Lu Bayue and refused without hesitation, "No, melon seeds are too high in fat, you can't eat them."

"If your mouth is really itchy, try some dried beef jerky. One stick will keep you going all day."

Lu Bayue pouted, "But the melon seeds in your hand are the most delicious. The ones sold outside are not tasty."

Su Nuan smiled slightly. The melon seeds she ate were all carefully cultivated by the space spirit. Of course, they were better than those grown outside.

But melon seeds make you fat, so Lu Bayue really can’t eat them.

Sister Hong didn't like these snacks, but she liked fruits. She smiled and asked, "Then bring out some fruit to quench your thirst."

"If I'm going to give a long speech, you should at least let me clear my throat, right? Oh, and don't collect it from outside."

Su Nuan glanced at Sister Hong. This girl was picky about food and only ate fruits produced in the space.

She took out a basket of fruit and threw it over, "Here."

Sister Hong and Lu Bayue just ate and never asked where the food came from, so Su Nuan was happy to give it to them.

Sister Hong pinched a strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth. It tasted so good that she squinted her eyes.

She ate a few and stopped, saying, "The city lord's name is Ouyang Lan, he's forty-five years old, he has three sons and two daughters, and the one who's going to enter the palace is his youngest daughter, Ouyang Wenzhu."

"Ouyang Wenzhu is a strong admirer, so she looks down on men. She has never been around a man, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to come."

As soon as Su Nuan heard it, she knew that Ouyang Wenzhu was a troublemaker and difficult to deal with.

Sister Hong continued, "She's a very proud person. If she really falls for your man, you're definitely not going to have an easy time."

Su Nuan smiled slightly, "On the surface, he is also your man. If you two can't stop her, if you can't subdue her, let her jump in front of me, hehe..."

Sister Hong's eyes flashed, and she quickly tried to persuade him, "I know, I'll do my best, but you must leave her alive. Killing her will affect the others sending people to the palace."

She knew very well that if she really angered Su Nuan, that person would be living a life worse than death.

Lu Bayue said indifferently: "It's better not to send it, so as to save the trouble of serving you."

"To be honest, you don't have a belly, so you don't know the worries of a pregnant woman."

"When there are too many women around me, I don't dare to eat or drink anything. It's so annoying."

"If Nuan Nuan hadn't given me the detoxification pills, I wouldn't even dare to see those women."

Sister Hong touched her chin and said, "How about I carry one too? After all, I'm considered a favorite concubine, and I'm pretty arrogant. They're more likely to target me."

Su Nuan frowned and asked, "Did you notice someone was doing something?"

Sister Hong nodded, "Yes, Ouyang Wenzhu's hands are not clean at the moment. She is also skilled in using the poison of sea fish. Our current anti-poison methods are ineffective."

Su Nuan took out two little finger armors, which were made of pure gold inlaid with crystals. There were oval transparent crystals on the nail part, and crystals of various colors and shapes on top.

"Take these two and wear them. When you drink tea, test it with the armor. If the clear crystal changes color, don't drink it. It doesn't matter what color it is. If it changes color, you can't drink it."

"There are tens of thousands of poisons in this world, and we can't know the details of all of them."

Sister Hong raised her hand and made a sweet promise, and Su Nuan understood and threw it to her.

Lu Bayue didn't have that much ability, and she also liked this armor very much and was reluctant to throw it away.

She stood up, walked over, took it in her hand and put it on, "Oh, it doesn't affect the bending of my fingers at all, but the tip of this nail is too short and can't protect my nails at all.

Su Nuan glanced at Lu Bayue's nails. The nails on her little finger and ring finger were half an inch long and painted with red nail polish.

She said disdainfully, "Don't apply those things. Wait until you are out of confinement before you can be beautiful."

Lu Bayue was very obedient and nodded, "Okay, but is there only one piece of this armor?"

Su Nuan didn't want to talk. Lu Bayue seemed to be becoming more and more obsessed with beauty.

She said, "That's all for now. I just did it for fun. If you like, go and study it."

Lu Bayue sighed, "I can't do it. Look at the fish scale joints on this armor. Our craftsmen can't make it."

Su Nuan blinked and asked, "If I have this basic finger sleeve, will you make the outer decoration?"

Lu Bayue's eyes lit up, "Really? The hardest part is this finger sleeve. The outer decoration is the simplest."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I can provide you with this finger sleeve. You can make the decoration and sell it to make money."

Lu Bayue nodded, "Okay, it's settled."

Sister Hong deliberately provoked him by saying, "Hey, how much money should I give you? You look so happy."

Lu Bayue rolled her eyes at Sister Hong and said, "I don't want any money. Do you understand the joy of being a businessman?"

"It's like you take out a product that's worth a penny and sell it for a whopping price, and the buyer still feels like they got a bargain. That feeling of satisfaction can't be measured in money."

Sister Hong's eyes glared, "I only know how much it costs to kill someone."

Su Nuan smiled and asked, "Is there a discount if I buy a pair?"

Lu Bayue burst into laughter.

Sister Hong's eyes showed a trace of confusion. "Is there a discount for killing someone?"

Seeing that they had strayed from the topic, Su Nuan continued, "Don't go off topic, let's continue talking about Ouyang Wenzhu."

Sister Hong nodded. "It's said that many fish in the sea are poisonous, and there's also a type of snail that's so poisonous it can kill people instantly."

"We don't have any research in this area, and we're afraid Ouyang Wenzhu will give us some subtle poison that will slowly kill us."

Su Nuan knew that Sister Hong's worries were not unnecessary. She thought for a moment and said, "If possible, find me a copy of the poison she used. I'll see if I can make an antidote."

Sister Hong shook her head repeatedly, "No, you're pregnant, don't do these dangerous things."

"Some poisons can kill people just by smelling them, so you can't take any risks."

Su Nuan frowned and said, "But we are very passive. We can't let her lead us by the nose."

Sister Hong had no good solution. "She came here just to take a look. She hasn't decided whether to become a concubine or not."

"It would be great if she doesn't like Ling Yun. Given her personality, she definitely won't stay."

Lu Bayue held her chin in her hand and shook her head helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Her mother seems to have issued a death order, saying that she must marry an official of the Sifang Kingdom even if she doesn't become a concubine."

"I just can't understand why she has to let her daughter marry into the family if she wants to surrender. Is she trying to get her daughter to influence her?"

"If it were me, I would definitely not send my daughter as a hostage. I don't think my daughter is the most beautiful in the world and any man can fall in love with her."

Sister Hong's face suddenly turned pale, she sat up straight and asked, "Do you think they will use poison or something like that to control Ling Yun?"
