"Cousin Qingcheng?"
Lan Tiao turned around and noticed Jiang Qingcheng. She immediately let go of the housekeeper and ran over excitedly.
"Go away..." Jiang Qingcheng panicked. She retreated in fear and tried to escape, but was easily caught up by Lan Tiao.
Lan Tiao grabbed her arm and said, "Cousin Qingcheng, I have cultivated to the Qingyuan realm!"
Jiang Qingcheng used her spiritual power to shake his hand away and screamed in a voice louder than his own: "Wake up! You've become an ordinary person now!"
Lan Tiao shouted, unwilling to be outdone, "You're lying."
The old housekeeper was originally very sad, but when he saw the scene of the young master and the cousin yelling at each other, he found it a little funny. He hurried over to grab Lan Tiao and said, "Young master, you are now in the Qingyuan realm, don't get excited, let's go back to the room first..."
"Do you believe me?" Lan Tiao lowered her voice, blinking her big dark eyes and looking at the butler with shining eyes.
"Believe me, how could I not believe you, young master?" Seeing him like this, the old housekeeper felt very sad and said in a coaxing tone, "Young master, are you hungry? Can I stew some braised pork for you?"
Lan Tiao nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
The old housekeeper gave the cousin a look, meaning that she should leave quickly and stop provoking the young master.
Jiang Qingcheng was unhappy and cursed inwardly. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly remembered something and came to Lan Tiao's side and called out, "Cousin."
"What's wrong?" Lan Tiao's eyes were pure and childlike. Jiang Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she looked into his eyes, but the feeling quickly disappeared. She tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Cousin, you will spoil me, right?"
"Of course, you're my cousin. As long as you truly integrate into the Lan family, I'll treat you like my own sister..." At this point, Lan Tiao started to get crazy again. He said, "I'm a master now. I will protect you!"
"Cousin, please speak a little more quietly. You're almost deafening me... I want to buy a bracelet, but I can't afford it. Cousin, can you give me some money?"
Lan Tiao agreed immediately and said, "Of course."
"Really?" Jiang Qingcheng's eyes were filled with surprise, and she said softly, "Cousin, I knew you were the best..."
Seeing this, the old butler frowned. The young master was already like this, and the cousin was still thinking about the bracelet?
He used to think that his cousin was gentle and sensible, but now it seems that he was blind.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Lan Tiao squatting down and starting to pick up stones.
The old housekeeper was completely confused, and Jiang Qingcheng was also puzzled and asked, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Lan Tiao looked up and said seriously, "I'll pick up some silver and give it to you..."
Jiang Qingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief, "This, this is silver?"
"Isn't it?"
Jiang Qingcheng was speechless and waved her hands, saying, "Cousin, I don't want the silver anymore. Give it to Sister Lan Zhi."
"Okay, give it to Azhi." Lan Tiao put a few stones into her arms.
Jiang Qingcheng was disgusted, but still put on a hypocritical smile. After the old housekeeper helped Lan Tiao walk away, Jiang Qingcheng rolled her eyes indecently, turned around and left the Lan Mansion. Then she put on her veil on the road, came to the back door of Prince Rui's Mansion, and sent out a signal.
After a while, Yuan Zhan strode out and said in a low voice, "Who told you to come here on your own initiative?"
The smile on Jiang Qingcheng's face faded, and she looked a little aggrieved, "Your Highness, are you blaming me for taking the initiative to report this..."
"No, why would I blame you..." Yuan Zhan's expression froze, and he could only be patient and coax Jiang Qingcheng a few words.
Jiang Qingcheng knew when to stop and said, "Your Excellency, Lan Tiao has gone crazy."
"Crazy?"
"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you so anxiously..."
"How did he go crazy?"
Jiang Qingcheng guessed, "Something must have gone wrong in his cultivation, leading to him becoming possessed, which is why all his cultivation was completely lost..."
"Is the news true?"
"My Lord, you don't believe me?" Jiang Qingcheng pouted and continued, "I asked him to give me some silver, but he picked up a stone for me instead. I suspect there's something wrong with his brain, and his IQ may have regressed to that of a child... If that's the case, then will you still kill him?"
Yuan Zhan frowned and said, "He's become a madman. The original method of killing him will definitely not work. After all, a madman can't go to the secret realm to seek opportunities."
But it’s better this way, so that my father doesn’t have to set up a secret realm just to let Lan Tiao die in an “accident”.
Yuan Zhan lowered his chin and said, "Then don't kill him. He's just a fool. Let him be a burden to Lan Zhi."
…
"Azhi, this silver is for you."
The so-called acting means to play the whole role. Lan Tiao conscientiously played the role of a crazy person who had gone astray and handed the stone in her hand to her sister.
Lan Zhi took it, turned to look at the housekeeper, and said worriedly: "Uncle Chen, how could my eldest brother become like this..."
The old housekeeper had a self-blaming expression on his face and said apologetically, "It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of the young master."
Lan Zhi said, "I don't blame you. I'll go call my second and third brothers back right away. We can all work together to find a way to make my eldest brother back to normal."
"Azhi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lan Tiao frowned and said, "I'm very normal. I'm telling you, I'm already in the Qingyuan realm..."
Lan Zhi nodded and said, "Yeah, big brother is the best."
Hearing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but sigh, it's true that a younger sister is the best, she is so patient with the eldest young master.
Lan Zhi felt that she had almost finished her performance, so she stood up and prepared to go to the academy. Before leaving, she said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Chen, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. The eldest young master..." The butler seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to start. All his words turned into a sigh.
"Uncle Chen, everything will be fine."
Lan Zhi comforted him, but now was not the time to confess. It was not that she did not trust the butler, but she was afraid that he would reveal the truth after knowing it. Lan Zhi had already discussed with her eldest brother that the fact that her eldest brother was pretending to be crazy should not only be kept secret from the butler, but also from her second and third brothers, because Lan Tiao felt that Prince Rui would definitely come to visit, and it would not be too late to tell them the truth after deceiving Prince Rui.
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
A graceful woman in black climbed over the wall and entered.
"Who?!" The guards quickly gathered around. The leading guard recognized the woman's identity at a glance and quickly dismissed his men. He then bowed his head and said respectfully, "You're here."
"Hmm." The woman replied calmly and asked, "Where is Prince Jing?"
The head guard said uncertainly, "It should be in the study... I'll lead the way for you to prevent any servants from bumping into you."
The woman in black hummed, took out a blood-red mask, covered her face, and followed behind the leader of the guards.
