Chapter 6 What a wonderful case of love at first sight!

But she is the one who acts ruthlessly and viciously.

Seeing that he was really going to kick her out.

Her tiny face turned deathly pale instantly, so fragile it was almost unbearable.

Her eyes were red and pitiful, enough to soften anyone's heart and evoke an overwhelming desire to protect her.

He had just relented and agreed to let her stay.

She then argued with him, saying, "They owe us 200,000 taels of silver, with 20,000 taels of interest every year, totaling 260,000 taels after three years. I'm only accepting 250,000 taels from them, which is already very generous of me."

What she called generosity.

They took the IOU, forcibly seized the house and all the shops, and didn't even allow the person to take away their food and clothing to survive. The amount was calculated to be 250,000 taels of silver.

They don't give us any way out.

Naturally, they wanted to die together with her.

But she said, "Paying back debts is a matter of course. Hasn't our Qian family already waived the interest of ten thousand taels?"

He's a heartless businessman!

However, he was afraid she would cry, so he didn't dare to argue with her.

After meeting three times.

He didn't have much affection for her; in fact, he was somewhat disgusted by her.

But she became persistent with him, constantly shouting, "I should repay your life-saving grace with my body."

I remember that was the first time she confessed her feelings to me.

That voice, with the unique charm and sincerity of a young girl, even a slight tremor of timidity, was so bold and passionate: "This humble woman...this humble woman has fallen in love with Your Highness at first sight."

love at first sight.

What a perfect example of love at first sight!

Now, looking at the tightly closed gate of the Qian family home.

Xiao Qingxuan's lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile.

How did she manage to do that?

He portrayed that full of feigned affection so realistically and so movingly.

What a clever Qian Yueshu!

She dared to do that.

How dare she mock him like that!

They manipulated him like a fool!

Anger and resentment at being deceived intertwined.

It almost broke through his usual calm and self-control.

The darkness in his eyes surged: "Return to the palace!"

The man flicked his sleeves, turned around, and got into the carriage.

However, on the carriage.

His mind kept replaying Qian Yueshu's gentle words to him.

Those heartfelt confessions seem like they happened just yesterday.

Those vows of eternal love once became a habit.

Now, thinking back to her attitude when they first met.

ridiculous!

This is absolutely ridiculous!

It's all fake!

An elaborately woven lie.

A carefully planned performance.

A complete scam targeting Xiao Qingxuan!

but.

Then Xiao Qingxuan remembered that when they met in their previous life, he was the crown prince.

Was it because she didn't recognize her own identity as the Crown Prince this time?

Should we put on a show of being the crown prince and see her one more time?

That way, she'll fall in love with him at first sight!

The Eastern Palace.

After returning from the Qian residence, Xiao Qingxuan felt uneasy.

The name Qian Yueshu was silently ground between his teeth.

The next day.

He probably spent the whole night thinking about Qian Yueshu.

So he had a nightmare last night.

It was at a family banquet in the Eastern Palace, with music playing and wine clinking.

Qian Yueshu smiled and served him food attentively.

She even fed herself wine with her own lips, sat on his lap, and slipped her hand inside his clothes...

Her eyes sparkled, and her smile was enchanting.

He just had to drink the poisoned wine...

Her voice, once soft and alluring, now turned cold and icy: "Xiao Qingxuan, I have never loved you. I only loved power and status."

When he woke up, he remembered his dream from last night.

Perhaps Qian Yueshu hurt her too deeply, which is why she keeps having those kinds of dreams.

Today, Xiao Qingxuan decided to go find Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is the woman he betrayed in his previous life.

It's not fair to say they let them down; at most, they each had their own needs.

After all, he gave her power and status.

She portrayed the role of a gentle, kind, dignified, and virtuous crown princess very well.

Perhaps he had feelings for Qian Yueshu before she appeared.

It was just that tiny bit of goodwill.

Compared to Qian Yueshu's blazing and bright light, everything else seemed so bland and uninteresting.

In addition, Liu Yu was quiet and reserved, not good at flattery, and far less adept at winning his heart than Qian Yueshu.

Over time, he and she drifted further and further apart.

Wasn't Qian Yueshu the one who most longed for the position of principal wife and most resentful that Liu Yu had once occupied the position of Crown Princess?

Okay.

In this life, he insisted on welcoming Liu Yu into the Eastern Palace at a very early age.

Qian Yueshu watched helplessly as her rival firmly grasped what she longed for but could not have.

He wanted to make Liu Yu the sharpest knife to stab Qian Yueshu!

This thought, like a poisonous ivy, grew wildly in his mind, bringing a twisted pleasure.

"After court today, prepare to depart for the Liu residence," he instructed Wang Xi, the eunuch standing behind him, in a low voice.

However, once the court session was over...

He still wanted to see that heartless little woman one last time.

They left the East Palace.

The personal eunuch, Wang Xi, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, shall we go directly to the Prime Minister's residence?"

Xiao Qingxuan paused slightly.

He should have gone to the Liu residence immediately.

After all, going to see Liu Yu was the first step in carrying out his revenge plan.

But……

As he stood getting closer and closer to the Qian residence.

His footsteps seemed to have a mind of their own, heading towards the Qian residence.

"Your Highness?" The eunuch called out again when he saw him hesitate.

Xiao Qingxuan snapped back to reality.

A strong sense of self-loathing welled up inside me.

What was he going to see her for?

Do you want to see how that heartless little woman continues to feign affection for him, and how she once again hurts him with her insincerity?

Knowing full well that it's self-humiliation, why do you still...?

"she……"

Xiao Qingxuan's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice dry: "Ask An Yi, what is she doing today?"

Yes.

Since their meeting yesterday, the Crown Prince has assigned two bodyguards to stay by Qian Yueshu's side.

Firstly, it can protect her safety.

Secondly, we must constantly monitor her movements.

As the most favored eunuch by the Crown Prince's side, Wang Xi naturally knew what his master wanted.

Yesterday he had someone investigate everything about Qian Yueshu.

At this moment, I naturally know what he is asking.

"Miss Qian should be at Mingyue Tower right now!"

Mingyue Tower?

Xiao Qingxuan seemed to be deep in thought.

That's the Qian family's property.

This area was carefully acquired by the Qian family before they even entered the capital, and it became part of their territory as the Qian family and Qian Yueshu moved there.

The restaurant has officially opened for business.

However, Mingyue Tower has only been open for a short time and is not yet famous.

Based on memories from the previous life.

Later, Mingyue Restaurant would become the most famous restaurant in the capital.

He stood on the bustling streets of the capital, atop the Mingyue Tower, which was not yet prominent at the moment.

The name Mingyue Tower is quite elegant.

Yet it reveals the Qian family's unique straightforwardness and ambition—the bright moon hangs high in the sky, for people to look up to.

It is more like a wedge deeply driven into the bustling area of ​​Beijing.

A stage that heralds the official debut of the Qian family...

Mingyuelou is still in its early stages of opening, and the staff's smiles still carry a hint of awkwardness.
