Yuan Zhan's expression remained unchanged. As the eldest son of Prince Rui, what kind of beauty had he not seen?
To him, there are two types of women: those who are useful and those who are worthless.
He had seen many women like Jiang Qingcheng and was already tired of them. If it weren't for Jiang Qingcheng's relationship with the Lan family, Yuan Zhan wouldn't even look at her.
The one Yuan Zhan was truly attracted to was the young lady of the Lan family. Lan Zhi was extremely beautiful, like a fairy from a painting, and her temperament was as otherworldly as an orchid in a valley.
Moreover, the Lan family has a profound heritage. Their ancestor produced an extremely powerful man with extraordinary bloodline. Miss Lan Zhi is suspected of having a return of her ancestral bloodline and is extremely talented.
Yuan Zhan had long been eyeing the Lan family and treated Lan Zhi as his own Crown Prince's Consort. But now she was being targeted by someone else, which made him feel very uncomfortable and suffocated.
Yuan Zhan said, "The entire Lan family mansion is covered in a formation. Only members of the Lan family and the housekeeper can enter. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Even his father, Prince Rui, who wanted to sneak in and steal the Orchid God Flower, failed.
"Ah?" Jiang Qingcheng looked confused. "But after I asked the housekeeper to go in and report, he walked in smoothly..."
"The Lan family gave you access, didn't they?" Yuan Zhan casually speculated, not wanting to continue the conversation. He asked, "Did you notice anything unusual about Lan Zhi when you saw her today?"
Jiang Qingcheng recounted in detail everything that had happened to her since entering the Lan Mansion, and concluded, "This was my first time meeting her, and I didn't find anything wrong with her. I just thought she was... very beautiful."
The last two words were said with great reluctance.
Yuan Zhan heard the change in her tone. He had long known that Jiang Qingcheng was an ambitious woman.
Yuan Zhan walked up to her, reached out and pinched Jiang Qingcheng's chin, his eyes full of tenderness as he asked, "Don't you know that you are beautiful too?"
"I..." Jiang Qingcheng's face flushed slightly. She looked closely at Yuan Zhan's pale, delicate and handsome face, her heart pounding.
Yuan Zhan said, "I think you are very pure and beautiful, much better than Lan Zhi."
"How is that possible? I heard that many young men in the capital are obsessed with Sister Lanzhi."
"Hehe, that's because Lan Zhi has a high level of cultivation... She has three brothers, and they all dote on her. Do you want to ruin all of this?" Yuan Zhan's voice was a little seductive.
"How?" Jiang Qingcheng asked, then realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shook her head, "I'm just a weak little woman, how could I do something that would harm others?"
"You don't need to harm anyone yourself. Five days from now, news will spread that a secret realm has appeared outside the capital. By then, each family will definitely send people into the secret realm. All you have to do is add fuel to the fire and encourage Lan Tiao to go in as well..."
"Is there danger in the secret realm?"
"That secret realm was created by my father." Yuan Zhan said proudly, "Anyone else who enters the secret realm will be fine, but Lan Tiao will definitely die."
Jiang Qingcheng was shocked. "Why did you kill Lan Tiao? Does His Royal Highness have a grudge against him?"
If Prince Rui took action, he could kill Lan Tiao instantly. Why bother with so much trouble?
"You don't need to know the reason, just do as I say." Yuan Zhan said with a gentle smile.
…
Lan Zhi felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.
At the beginning, her three brothers died one after another due to various "accidents".
If only one person died, it might be an accident, but if all three died, then they were definitely targeted. Lan Zhi became suspicious, but could not find any evidence.
The eldest brother Lan Tiao encountered the most precious Holy Spirit Grass in the secret realm, but accidentally triggered a riot among the beasts in the secret realm and was torn to death.
The second elder brother had a dispute with a teenager from an ordinary family in the academy. The two sides fought a life-and-death battle. Originally, the second elder brother was victorious, but the teenager burst into tears and begged for mercy. The second elder brother felt pity for the teenager and hesitated for a moment before being stabbed to death by the teenager.
Upon hearing the news of his second brother's death, the third brother went astray and was harmed by his own martial arts.
It turns out that this was all the work of Prince Rui and his son Yuan Zhan!
What was even more unexpected was that Jiang Qingcheng had known Yuan Zhan so early.
In this case, Jiang Qingcheng's life must be saved first, because in this way, Yuan Zhan's plan can be learned through Jiang Qingcheng. If Jiang Qingcheng is killed, if Yuan Zhan has any bad intentions in the future, he can only order others to do it, and Lan Zhi will also lose a source of information.
Next, Yuan Zhan chatted with Jiang Qingcheng about some meaningless topics before they parted ways.
…
Lan Mansion.
After Lan Zhi came back, she raised her hand and waved, showing her brother the scene she had just seen.
"Jiang Qingcheng actually colluded with outsiders to harm me?" Lan Tiao was shocked at first, and then furious.
Since the death of his parents, he has especially cherished family affection and treated his younger brothers and sisters with great care. Today, Jiang Qingcheng came and said that her family was in trouble and she had nowhere else to go, and begged the Lan family to take her in.
After verifying Jiang Qingcheng's identity, Lan Tiao has decided to treat her as a member of the family. However, she didn't know that Jiang Qingcheng actually harbored evil intentions!
Lan Tiao said, "We have a formation at home. Even Prince Rui can't get in, so I'm safe for now. As for why Prince Rui wants to kill me, I probably know the reason..."
Lan Zhi asked: "Why?"
"Father and Prince Rui were close friends, their bond was as strong as their lives. Once, while drinking, my father mentioned that the Lan family had an heirloom. Prince Rui was curious and asked what it was. My father said it was the Orchid God Flower, which, when it bloomed, could change a person's blood and constitution."
"Prince Rui was very interested because he had a son who was born a loser. So he offered generous conditions to buy the Orchid God Flower."
