Chapter 118 What are you doing?
Yan Su's voice was not loud, but it sounded resounding in Ye Lanzhou's ears. Only then did Ye Lanzhou understand why Xu Yubai chose Yan Su to be the Xu family's deathbed.
One has to admire Yan Su's quick reaction. Knowing that her child might be used by Xie Chengyan, she immediately wanted to abort the baby. After learning that she was not physically fit to do so, she used this as a bargaining chip and surrendered the original bargaining chip, thus saving her life and gaining Xie Chengyan's trust.
If such a person could help her, then escaping from this place of trouble would be more hopeful than relying on Xie Chengyan.
Even if Xie Chengyan wanted to protect Qin because of her life-saving grace, he was still in a high position with so many eyes watching him. How could he send someone away without making a sound? Yan Su was different. She and Ye Lanzhou were ultimately the same kind of people. They didn't belong here, but were only caught up by various coincidences.
Thinking of this, Ye Lanzhou accepted Yan Su's drawings, as if to agree to her request, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Yan."
Yan Su looked at her and smiled knowingly.
It was getting late, and Yan Su wasn't feeling well. Furthermore, the people in the mansion had been ordered by Xie Chengyan to take good care of this person, so Yan Su left after she finished speaking. Ye Lanzhou watched her disappear into the snow, a thousand thoughts in his mind.
Ever since she arrived in the capital, disputes had never ceased. Everyone in the capital had their own agenda. With different positions and different powers, even the best of friends would harbor resentment. What's more, she and Xie Chengyan were at loggerheads from the start.
Qin had done him a favor, but Ye Lanzhou had not. She had almost left him injured to feed the wolves.
An old temple priest in Nanyang once said that kindness is the least worth mentioning thing, and there are so many ungrateful things in this world.
Before I knew it, it had been snowing for quite a while. There was already a thick layer of snow in the yard, the ground was covered with white frost, and the whole body was cold.
The snow was falling heavily, with no sign of stopping, as if it would continue to fall endlessly. She had heard from people in the palace that when she was born, Nanyang, which had not seen snow for several years, had a snowstorm this heavy, so heavy that it was frightening.
Ye Lanzhou returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, she presented Yan Su's drawings to Xie Chengyan. Unexpectedly, upon seeing them, he actually laughed and said, "She and I have known each other for quite some time. You've treated her several times, and you two have become close friends. Everything I give her has to pass through your hands."
These words seemed to be pointing at her, as if to say: "You two should not play any tricks together."
Ye Lanzhou felt a little guilty. Although she hadn't directly expressed her conspiracy with Yan Su, the meaning of their conversation was almost self-evident. Now everything she said seemed like an explanation, so she simply chatted about irrelevant things in an attempt to cover up the past: "Why? Is the prince getting along well with her? Can he be better than me——"
Xie Chengyan looked up and met Ye Lanzhou's slightly upturned eyes. The coldness in them was gone, leaving only a naked ambiguity. He wondered who she got these eyes from. They looked like the enchantress in the books who brought disaster to the nation.
He picked up the blueprint, which Yan Su had rolled tightly, and now held in his hand like a short, thick stick. He gripped one end of the blueprint, then raised his head and tapped Ye Lanzhou on the forehead. The force was not strong, but the sound was loud, as if it woke Ye Lanzhou up instantly.
She covered her forehead and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
