"Heh~, neither of us are kind-hearted or soft-hearted people. If we can handle it, it's safer to leave the person behind."
Mo Lan looked at Qin Su and directly stated her position.
"Do you think our cooperation can withstand the retaliation from the three great families? The three young masters disappeared in Ye County at the same time; they can't possibly remain indifferent."
Hearing Mo Lan's cool tone, Qin Su lowered the admiration in his eyes, "Of the three people who came this time, Song Yu is the third direct descendant of the Song family. He is good at scheming, but too arrogant. He can only be considered to have some cleverness, but he is still valued by the family."
“Wang Wenjue is also a direct descendant of the Wang family, the eldest son of the second branch, but the head of the family is his uncle. In recent years, there has been endless infighting within the Wang family. It is no secret that the eldest and second branches are at odds. Therefore, if something happens to Wang Wenjue, the eldest branch may not go all out to help him.”
"As for Han Shikuan, he is indeed the successor that the family is grooming, and he has a good reputation. It's just a mystery how he got mixed up with those two this time. The Han family of Nanyang County is also the furthest of the three families, so they shouldn't have many people in the short term. Therefore, given Han Shikuan's character, he shouldn't be the one to stick his neck out."
Mo Lan listened to Qin Su's analysis of the three of them and nodded knowingly. They were all from aristocratic families, so it was not surprising that they understood each other.
"The three of you are like a heap of loose sand, destined to achieve nothing. Since you and I share the same goal, we can cooperate again to clear the obstacles together. However, I have some doubts. Do you think Jiang Mian would agree to the three of you getting into trouble on his turf?"
Even if the three of them are incompetent, they are still from prominent families. Even if it's just to save face, the three families have to step forward and ask. If the heads of the three families join forces to put pressure on Jiang Mian, her situation as a native will become rather awkward.
"Does the young lady have a better suggestion?" Qin Su looked at Mo Lan, his eyes flashing with a deep light.
“I don’t have a great solution, but we can lure them out of Ye County. As long as we don’t involve Jiang Mian, he won’t interfere in other people’s grudges. The three families don’t know each other, so this matter can only remain an unsolved mystery. As for whether to seek a share from the Jiang family later, you can think about that later. There’s no rush.”
To avoid trouble, she absolutely would not allow those three idiots to cause any trouble on Ye County's territory.
Not worth it~
"Since the young lady insists, I have no objection. While they are still away, shall we make our own trip and meet with the prefect?"
This girl is young, but she is very thoughtful. Qin Su looked at her with admiration and couldn't help but compliment her.
"Perhaps one day, the girl will become a powerful ruler."
"Likewise."
Mo Lan never hides her thoughts, nor is she used to being weak to anyone. She likes to get what she needs by doing it herself.
"...You're quite bold, young lady." Most people would be afraid of others knowing their ambitions, but this girl is different; she doesn't shy away from it at all. She's still too young and has quite a temper.
Only when someone has designs on you do you realize that sometimes restraint is the best form of protection.
“Because I know that courage and strength are linked, so I have nothing to fear.” Mo Lan looked at Qin Su with a mocking smile, her lips curling up, exuding an indescribable wickedness.
"I heard that Duke Qin used to be very low-key and patient, but he was repeatedly suppressed. In the past two years, I don't know what happened, but he suddenly changed... Now, everyone knows that Duke Qin now holds military power and is all-powerful. He is just short of holding the emperor hostage to command the other feudal lords. This move can be described as extremely high-profile."
