Seeing that Qin Kou'er was stumped by her question, Qin Meiying immediately patted her hand, "Don't be nervous, just say what's on your mind!"

Qin Kou'er took a deep breath, then looked at Qin Meiying and said, "Aunt, I initially approached the Crown Prince to cause trouble for the Emperor! I don't need to deny that! This idea wasn't something I came up with on a whim; it's what my master taught me since I was little. I must marry the Crown Prince."

Whether the crown prince is Lan Linxue or Lan Xiuyuan, I must marry the crown prince.

According to my master, only by marrying the emperor can I reach the center of power and avenge the Qin family.

Of course, I had another idea in mind.

Lin Xue is not only the Crown Prince, but also the Emperor's most favored son. I want to use the Crown Princess's position to give the Emperor a good beating. Why did she show such favor to our Qin family back then, only to turn around and betray us, causing my aunt's tragic death in the palace and ordering the execution of our entire Qin family? She even posted notices on the city walls.

It would be impossible for me not to hate the Emperor!

My thought at the time was that after becoming the Crown Princess, I would give birth to the heir to the throne, and ideally, I would kick the Emperor out of the country. Even if I couldn't kick him out, the Qin family must have half of this eternal empire!

After saying that, Qin Kou'er snorted fiercely, filled with righteous indignation.

Qin Meiying couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Qin Kou'er puffing out her cheeks and huffing and puffing.

Her smile immediately made Qin Kou'er tense up. "Aunt, that's just what I said. Later, when I went to the palace, I saw that the Emperor wasn't actually that bad, just generally bad!"

The more Qin Kou'er spoke, the more Qin Meiying laughed. Finally, seeing that Qin Kou'er couldn't even lift her head from laughing, she slowly stopped laughing, gently hugged Qin Kou'er tightly, and said with happiness, "Kou'er is such a good child! For so many years, your aunt has always wondered who in the Qin family would survive. I never thought that heaven would be so kind to the Qin family, leaving such a wonderful child! Your aunt is extremely content!"

Qin Kou'er shifted uncomfortably. "Aunt, if you don't like me thinking this way, then I don't want to bother with the Emperor's affairs anymore!"

"Why don't you want to?" Qin Meiying said nonchalantly, "You not only want to think about it, but you also need to think about it more! Hmph, in the end, he also bears some responsibility for what happened back then! What's wrong with messing with him a bit! The girls of our Qin family have never tolerated being bullied."

Linxue has been through a lot and has grown up. You are resourceful, clever, and obedient. It's time for our Qin family to turn the tables. I think the Emperor also means the same thing; otherwise, he would never have so easily taken action against Hu Qianyu today.

Remember this: whether it's towards the Emperor or Linxue, don't look at what they do on the surface. These father and son are cut from the same cloth; they're both incredibly cunning. And everything now is just the beginning; their next move will be truly ruthless!

Qin Kou'er shifted slightly, a little uneasy. "Is he going to kill people? I don't know what the Emperor is like, but I've witnessed Lan Linxue's killing firsthand. In those four towns in Jiangnan, if I hadn't gotten wind of it, noticed the signs, and forced him to relocate the people, I think he would have killed them all without even batting an eye!"

"Is Kou'er blaming Lin Xue?"

Qin Kou'er immediately nodded, then gently pulled herself out of Qin Meiying's arms and looked at Qin Meiying seriously: "Aunt, I don't want Lin Xue to kill innocent people indiscriminately! If he uses any means to achieve his goals, what difference is there between him and Hu Tianyong and those people in the end? Even if he's not a beast, he's almost the same as one!"

Qin Meiying immediately nodded, looking at Qin Kou'er with approval: "Kou'er, you're right! No matter what, we must remember that some things are permissible and some things are not. If we indiscriminately kill innocent people just to achieve our own goals, we may lose our world sooner or later! You did a great job in this matter, and I want to thank you on behalf of Lin Xue!"

Qin Kou'er immediately felt a little embarrassed, "Aunt, we're all family, there's no need for thanks!"

Qin Meiying immediately nodded and said with a smile, "That's right! You'll soon be my daughter-in-law, so of course we're family!"

Speaking of this, Qin Kou'er became a little embarrassed again, "My aunt knows that I want to marry Lin Xue? Actually, it's still a long way off. There are still some things that haven't been arranged yet!"

"What's the big deal about whether it's appropriate or not? There are some things you shouldn't worry about, let Linxue handle them! If he wants to get married, he should make his own decisions. Do you expect me to worry about everything for him? Besides, your current health isn't suitable for worrying too much!"

Qin Kou'er understood these words and was so frightened that she immediately raised her head and stared at Qin Meiying, as if she had seen a living ghost.

"What? You can't let your aunt know you're pregnant?" Qin Meiying looked at Qin Kou'er with understanding, her eyes filled with undisguised tenderness and kindness.

Qin Kou'er's face flushed instantly. Being pregnant out of wedlock was hardly something to be proud of, and Qin Kou'er felt as if her face was burning up.

How did your aunt find out about this?

Qin Meiying immediately smiled and gently held Qin Kou'er's hand, saying, "I can tell who you learned your kung fu from the moment you move! I don't know how many times I've watched his kung fu back then, and I've never seen him cover his stomach with his hand while gliding using his lightness skill! His kung fu is always infinitely graceful. But your every move just now seemed to be subtly protecting your stomach. It was all about aesthetics. Your aunt has also given birth, how could I not see that?"
