Chapter 23 The Thief Cries Thief



Yinglu nodded. Although she didn't know why the young lady acted like this, she could only obey.

Raising her hand, a white jade pendant flew out from Lan Shuiyao's sleeve and fell accurately into Yinglu's palm.

Ying Lu was stunned, took a look, and muttered, "What does the young lady want this jade pendant for? King Yongnan? My God! Which pawnshop in this city would dare to accept it? It's better to exchange it for silver!"

"This will be our door god from now on. Hang it on the Lanshui Tower and all taxes will be exempted!" Lan Shuiyao gulped down a cup of tea, pursed her red lips, and smiled lazily.

Not only are taxes exempted, but there is also no one causing trouble. The title of King Yongnan is more useful in this country than the name of the Emperor!

In the evening, two distinguished guests came to Lanshui Medical Clinic. They were Right Prime Minister Lan Mu and his wife Xiuru, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Yinglu went to the museum in a hurry to report, but was told to wait.

After waiting from sunset to the moon rising over the willows, Lan Mu could no longer bear it. He stood up and, with a bang, overturned all the tables and chairs in the hall and smashed the teacups.

"Master..." Mrs. Lan choked and tried to stop him.

"A set of fine sandalwood table and chairs, one hundred taels of silver each, a teacup from an official kiln, if one is broken you must pay for the whole set, ten taels of silver, and a tip for Yinglu to clean up, ten taels of silver, Master Lan, the total is one hundred and twenty taels of silver!"

There were the sounds of footsteps behind me, and at the same time, a sticky and coquettish voice was heard coldly.

Lan Mu turned around angrily, "You unfilial daughter, how much did I pay to raise you? You're actually settling accounts with me!?"

"Master, let's talk it over nicely..." Madam Lan helped him calm down while looking at the woman in a bright red dress in the candlelight.

, what's wrong with you? Why don't you even recognize your parents? Do you want to piss us off to death?"

"Mom and Dad?" Lan Shuiyao seemed to have heard something funny. She covered her lips with her hands and bent over with laughter.

"You..." Lan Mu was shaking with anger.

Lan Shuiyao stood up suddenly, took a step forward, and approached Lan Mu and his wife, "From the day you sent me to the Yongnan Palace to be a concubine, from the day when I was kicked off the bed by the Yongnan King and resurrected from the dead, your daughter has been dead!"

"You..." Lan Mu raised his hand to hit her. Lan Shuiyao did not dodge and looked at him coldly, "You slapped me like this last time. Have you forgotten?"

Lan Mu was stunned and didn't dare to let go of his hand that was waving in the air.

"Yao'er, I know you blame us, but you also know the current situation at home. Your father and I can only come up with this method. You have been well-behaved, sensible, and simple-minded since childhood. We thought that although you are a concubine, as long as you can get the favor of the prince, our Lan family will..."

"I said, Lan Shuiyao is dead. She was kicked to death by Yue Nanchen!"

Lan Shuiyao turned around coldly, not wanting to listen to Xiuru's crying, "I can forgive you today's bill, but please remember, don't come here in the future. I have nothing to do with Yue Nanchen now, and I can't help you!"

No one comes to visit you for no reason. Lan Shuiyao knows Lan Mu's character too well.

Seeing that his purpose was exposed, Lan Mu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Mrs. Lan gave him a look, meaning that they should go back first and deal with it later. So the two of them said some more words to reprimand Lan Shuiyao, and left together.

Lan Shuiyao turned around and looked at the two

The figures who were supporting each other frowned coldly.

She had already sent people to find out the situation in the Lan Mansion, and she also knew exactly why Lan Mu was looking for her. She could help them pay back the money they owed Leng Yichen, but what about the future?

He took out a folding fan from his arms and slowly opened it. The two large characters "Feng Liu" written in a flamboyant style immediately caught his eye.

Leng Yichen was right, the development of Lanshui Tower still depended on him. In that case, she might as well visit the Prince's Mansion again at night to test Leng Yichen's true strength!

She was familiar with the task. Compared with the last time when she wandered around aimlessly, this time Lan Shuiyao found Leng Yichen's room easily.

She was still wearing a bright red dress, with a red veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of charming eyes. She posed in the most seductive posture in the world in an extremely exaggerated way, like a demon spirit that had just transformed into a human form, floating silently into the room.

Gazing at the charming sleeping face of the man on the bed, Lan Shuiyao lowered her eyes and chuckled twice. She pointed her slender fingers directly at the acupuncture point on the man's chest, "See if you can still pretend to sleep!"

The man who was still sleeping a moment ago suddenly opened his charming eyes, "I thought you stole money last time and you stole people this time, so I cooperated with you. Didn't you see that your clothes are open? I didn't expect that the girl would be so disrespectful!"

He suddenly exerted force, pulling her soft body into his arms, and slowly pressed his charming smile towards her, "What's wrong? Is it that I am not charming enough or..."

The moment the man's face touched hers, Lan Shuiyao chuckled coldly and pushed his face away with her other hand without mercy. Her brightly colored skirt fluttered in the moonlight like a blooming flower.

Gently distance yourself from him.

The other hand was held tightly by him, and he refused to let go. "I finally waited for you, young lady, how can you let go so easily?"

Lan Shuiyao sneered, and Leng Yichen saw a flash of cold light in front of him. The hand immediately retracted, and the whole person jumped back two steps, tightly pressing his body against the bed wall, "Miss, if you have something to say, just talk it out. Why do you have to use knives and guns!"

Lan Shuiyao looked at her lazily with her eyes slanted, and said lazily: "Didn't Prince Leng also make moves?"

Leng Yichen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, glared at her coquettishly, half-closed his charming peach blossom eyes, propped up half of his arm, half-extended his delicate shoulders, lay down, and glanced at her sideways, "I thought you liked it!"

Lan Shuiyao sneered. Leng Yichen was really complicated and changeable. Last time he was very secretive, but this time he was very charming. He was a perfect match for her!

Lan Shuiyao sat down lazily on the chair, "I heard you were looking for me everywhere? It's not because of that broken screen, is it? I donated it to the Beggars' Sect. If Prince Leng is only this capable, then I came here for nothing tonight!"

"How can this prince be so stingy!" The man's shining eyes were filled with smiles, "I just heard that the young lady has solved several big cases in the palace. I admire her so much that I want to get to know her and build a friendship. Maybe she can help me in the future!"

Lan Shuiyao raised her eyebrows, "Want to make friends? That's not necessary. I only care about money, not people. As long as you can pay a good price, I will take any job!"

"Oh?" Leng Yichen became interested and sat up. "Would you kill someone?"

“That depends

How much is that person worth, can Prince Leng afford it? "Lan Shuiyao glanced at him lazily.

"Great!" Leng Yichen reached out and took a mahogany box from the bed and threw it into Lan Shuiyao's hand.

When he opened it, there was a box of silver ingots. "I know that the girl doesn't like silver notes, so I exchanged them for silver directly. This is the down payment. After the matter is completed, I will double the reward!"

Lan Shuiyao looked at the box of silver ingots with a smile, "Not bad, the amount is considerable, I'll take this job!"

Leng Yichen smiled faintly, "Why don't you ask who you want to kill?"

"I've said it before, it doesn't matter who it is, what matters is whether the money is enough to buy his head!" Lan Shuiyao stretched out her arm and said neatly, "The man's information, residential address, and when do you want the head?"

Leng Yichen was stunned. Even though he had been a hostage in Yue Country for more than ten years and had seen many ups and downs, he was still stunned by the woman's aura. "Are you so sure?"

Lan Shuiyao glanced at him coldly, "Trust the people you employ, and don't employ them if you don't trust them! I will do things for you if I take your money!"

She took the portrait from Leng Yichen's hand and waited for news, whether he wanted an intact corpse or..."

Leng Yichen waved his hands quickly, "No need, nothing. If he dies, I will naturally get the news!"

"Well, after you get the news, remember to send the remaining money to this address. If you have any work in the future, just go to this address to find Red Rose, and someone will naturally notify me!"

Lan Shuiyao held the mahogany box in her arms, and also held the man's portrait in her arms, "I want to keep the portrait as evidence, so that the prince won't cry thief after the deed is done!"
