Qin Kou'er shook her head slightly: "This is fine! Kou'er doesn't have any special requests. Just follow the rules!"

Shu Lingxi immediately grabbed Qin Kou'er's hand and said, "I knew it! Kou'er is the best girl I've ever met! She and our Linxue are a match made in heaven!"

Qin Kou'er lowered her head shyly, fiddling with her sash in her hands; she was truly incomparably beautiful.

Lan Linxue was incredibly happy at this moment. He was about to marry Qin Kou'er, and it felt like a dream come true.

"Alright! Alright! Let's not talk here anymore. It's not convenient for us to talk in the Emperor's place. We should get out of here as soon as possible!"

As Lan Qingtian spoke, she pulled a group of people and walked out!

The group discussed the wedding preparations again before returning to their respective residences with their own tasks.

Qin Kou'er and Lan Linxue were somewhat silent in the car, seemingly preoccupied with something.

Lan Linxue was initially overjoyed, but upon seeing Qin Kou'er's expression, her smile immediately vanished. Instead, she gently pulled Qin Kou'er into her arms and whispered comfortingly, "It's alright! Although Hu Tianyong is dead, Xu Ming is still alive. Moreover, the Hu family members are still around. It's still worth it for these people to pay for the lives of our Qin family members!"

Qin Kou'er looked up at Lan Linxue, then sighed softly and rested her head on his shoulder, saying quietly, "I feel like something's wrong with this! Hu Tianyong's death was too sudden, and I really can't feel at ease! Sigh!"

"What's there to be uneasy about? My two sons have been executed by slow slicing, so why should I be alive?"

Lan Linxue completely understood this matter, and in his opinion, if he were Hu Tianyong, he would definitely have hanged himself.

Because living such a wretched existence is far worse than being dead.

Qin Kou'er shook her head again: "Although the Hu family's son is dead, Hu Feifan is still alive! That's the true lifeline of the Hu family! How could he die without even leaving Hu Feifan a single word? Lin Xue, I really don't think this matter is that simple! Think about it, the Hu family has hundreds of members. How could Hu Tianyong, as the head of the family, be so irresponsible as to just die like that? Although Hu Tianyong is cunning and treacherous, he is definitely not an irresponsible person, especially towards his family! Let me tell you, if there's nothing fishy going on in this matter, I'll automatically stop eating for three days!"

"That won't do!" Lan Linxue sat up straight immediately. "It's fine if you don't eat, but what if my son goes hungry and starts looking for food!"

Lan Linxue regretted saying that as soon as she finished speaking.

Because he had already seen Qin Kou'er turn her head with a sinister look on her face.

"What's wrong? Now you're only worried about your son, huh? You think your wife is useless once you've had her?"

Lan Linxue quickly shook her head, "My wife is more important than my son! That's absolutely true for me! Never will be!"

"What do you mean by 'everything changes but nothing changes'? It hasn't even been a year yet, and you're already worried about your son going hungry? Be careful, or I might get angry and kick both you and your son out of the house!"

After saying that, Qin Kou'er angrily pushed Lan Linxue aside and stood there fuming with her arms crossed.

When Lan Linxue saw that Qin Kou'er was really angry, she quickly and carefully came over with a smile.

"Oh dear, my wife, why are you really angry? I was just making a joke! I swear to God, if I ever favor my son over my wife, may I be struck by lightning!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er immediately turned around: "Pah! What are you saying? I've never seen anyone curse themselves so recklessly! I've been looking for you all day, you're really something else!"

Lan Linxue understood that Qin Kou'er was just being soft-hearted towards her, so she immediately went over and hugged Qin Kou'er tightly, giving her a heavy kiss on the cheek.

"I knew my wife wouldn't let me say anything harsh! Don't worry, no matter what dirty tricks Hu Tianyong pulls, I'll protect you! I absolutely won't let you get hurt!"

Qin Kou'er's expression softened after hearing Lan Linxue's words, but her heart remained heavy.

Upon arriving at the Prince's residence, Lan Linxue helped Qin Kou'er down.

At this moment, Jun Yannuo was already at the Prince's Mansion with his entourage.

Seeing Lan Linxue helping Qin Kou'er walk over, he quickly came over and said, "Sect Master, what exactly happened? How did Hu Tianyong die?"

Qin Kou'er waved her hand: "We'll have to talk about the specifics of this matter later. But I've seen Hu Tianyong's body, and he is truly dead!"

Seeing Qin Kou'er's somewhat gloomy expression, Jun Yannuo knew that Qin Kou'er also couldn't accept what had happened.

A group of people had dinner at the Prince's mansion. Because Qin Kou'er was about to marry Lan Linxue, they had to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, there were no more rebel groups outside, so Qin Kou'er went back with Jun Yannuo and the others after dinner.

Qin Kou'er knew that there was no use in her overthinking now; she could only wait for news from her master.

She believed that if Hu Tianyong died with a conspiracy, her master would definitely receive the news.

Just as Lan Linxue was excitedly preparing for her wedding, Lan Xiuyuan sat blankly in his mansion, chasing everyone around him away. He sat alone in the darkness, as silent as death.

In just a few days, Qin Kou'er belonged to someone else. Her mother died, the Hu family collapsed, and even her maternal grandfather, who had always been very loving towards her, passed away.

Everything he relied on collapsed, and all that the world left him with was the blade that would fall sooner or later!
