"There's nothing to thank me for. This isn't the first time we've worked together. From the first time until now, I've always been paid to do things for you, so there's no need for you to feel like you owe me anything!"
Lan Shuiyao sneered. She was just that kind of person, used to being aloof and not liking to get close to others. In her opinion, even her own parents could not be trusted, let alone friendship and love!
"Thank you again!" Yu Lingshan spoke again, "I just don't know if this will cause you any trouble?"
She didn't mean to deceive anyone, but now she was penniless and pregnant with that man's child, so it was not suitable for her to stay in Lanshui Tower any longer. She had no choice but to cheat King Changning of his money.
"You ran away on your own. What does it have to do with me?" Lan Shuiyao chuckled and just lowered her eyes to look at her abdomen. "I just hope that you treat your child well!"
If you can't give your child happiness, you'd rather not let him come into this world!
"I know!" Yu Lingshan stroked her belly and smiled gently.
Lan Shuiyao turned her head and looked at the water. The wind started to blow and the lake suddenly became turbulent.
I believe that after this incident, Jiang Yan would not be able to sit still when he heard the rumors. It just so happened that she still had a business to do, so she might as well do it and kill two birds with one stone!
Inside the pleasure boat, Qian Hun was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, weighing a purse in his hand. The corners of his plump lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were sparkling with brilliance.
As soon as the curtain of the pleasure boat was lifted, he turned to look, his pair of dark brown eyes shining, shaking his head, looking very proud, "I knew that you, a stingy guy, would not be willing to part with this bag of silver!"
Lan Shuiyao walked in slowly, glanced at him and chuckled, "You guessed wrong, it's not that I don't want to part with the bag of silver, I want to use it to exchange for more valuable
things! "
Qianhun was stunned, watching her sit down in front of him, stretching out three fingers to pick up the wine glass, her slender and delicate white face made him dizzy, and asked in a daze, "What do you want to change?"
Lan Shuiyao smiled and slowly rolled up her sleeves.
Qianhun looked along the sleeve and saw a rose embroidered on the cuff, about to bloom.
Lan Shuiyao's hands stopped moving, but Qianhun's eyes were fixed on the circle of roses and refused to let go.
Wantongtang investigated the red rose for a long time and locked the target on Lan Shuiyao, but they just couldn't find any evidence.
His waist suddenly felt loosened, and Qianhun raised his eyes from his daze. The golden abacus was already lying quietly in the palm of the woman's hand.
"Is this what you want?" Qian Hun looked up at her, his dark brown eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Do you know that this golden abacus is the token of Wantong Hall? If you have this golden abacus, you can lead Wantong Hall. Your bag of silver seems to be a little short, right?"
Qianhun said this and threw the silver at Shuiyao.
"I didn't ask for it. I just wanted to borrow it to have a look!" Lan Shuiyao chuckled and returned the golden abacus to him. "Of course I want Wantong Hall, but I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do it now. What I'm interested in now is your ability to disguise yourself. I heard that you should use a human skin mask when you disguise yourself. I just want a human skin mask!"
Qianhun was full of curiosity about Lan Shuiyao's request, "Human skin mask? Whose mask do you want?"
"Yuen Nanchen!" Lan Shuiyao pursed her red lips and gently uttered three words.
Qianhun was even more stunned, "Why is it mys..." His face darkened, "No, this is of great importance, I can't give it to you, and I don't want this silver anymore, you keep it!"
Qianhun got up from the soft couch and went straight to
She walked straight out, "I have seen how bold you are as a woman. You even dare to take advantage of me. I am sorry that I will not accompany you any more!"
Lan Shuiyao did not stop him. There was no rush for this matter anyway, and she had plenty of time to slowly deal with Qian Hun.
He weighed the purse in his hand and quickly put it into his sleeve. Lan Shuiyao smiled proudly, "That's just right, I saved it!"
In front of the Yongnan Palace, Dong Qing'er looked up at the three majestic characters, the corners of her lips becoming tighter and tighter.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't it the Imperial Aunt? She is such a rare guest. The Imperial Uncle wants to take a concubine, and the Imperial Aunt is busy at home. How can she have time to come to the Yongnan Palace?"
A teasing and sarcastic voice suddenly rang out, causing Dong Qing'er to look up.
Jiang Cheng was standing at the door in gorgeous clothes, followed by his maid Ningxiang. Both of them stared at Dong Qing'er with disdain.
The news that Prince Changning is going to take a concubine tomorrow has spread throughout the city. Even Dong Qing'er, the most beautiful woman in Nanyue, cannot keep her husband's heart. This has already become the hottest topic of conversation among the people of Yuecheng after dinner.
Dong Qing'er frowned in displeasure and glanced at Jiang Cheng coldly. Before they got married, the two of them were equally good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They also competed for the title of Nanyue's most beautiful woman for a long time, but in the end it fell on Dong Qing'er's head.
But now, Dong Qing'er was filled with grief, and the huge gap made her feel even more unwilling.
She pursed her lips coldly and said in a low voice, "Our master only married a concubine, unlike you, my niece-in-law, who entered the house with a concubine. Three years after entering the house, he got a third wife. It is said that this third wife can not only revive the dead, but also seduce men. Not only did she seduce Prince Yongnan and refused to let go, she also opened a Blue Water Tower. I think she will be busy, too.
It's you, my niece-in-law, who should be busy!"
Jiang Cheng was stunned. He did not expect to be refuted by Dong Qing'er so quickly. He immediately became so angry that his face turned red and his whole body trembled. However, he could not lose his temper because of Dong Qing'er's identity as the Princess of Changning.
Ningxiang's eyes flashed, and she whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear, "My Lady, you are no match for her. Now that the Master is not in the house anyway, why not let the Third Madam come out and fight her to the death? Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with us, isn't it clean!"
Jiang Cheng was stunned and winked at Ningxiang. It was indeed a good idea!
"Since the Imperial Aunt is here, please come in!" Jiang Cheng suppressed his anger and automatically opened the door.
It seems that Yue Nanchen should not be in the mansion, otherwise Jiang Cheng would not let her in so easily. After a little contemplation, Dong Qing'er was about to leave, but when she thought about Prince Changning taking a concubine tomorrow, she had to change her mind.
She must wait for Yue Nanchen today!
Lifting her goose yellow skirt, Dong Qing'er raised her head, with a gentle, noble and elegant smile on her lips, and entered the Yongnan Palace amid the resentful eyes of the two women.
Behind him, Yue Nanchen strode into the palace, but after seeing the goose yellow figure, a gleam of light flashed in his dark and deep eyes, and he hesitated for a few seconds.
Is it her? What is she doing here? Does she want him to stop Prince Changning from taking a concubine?
"Master..." Fulu also saw the back figure and frowned worriedly.
There are already rumors out there, and Princess Changning is still coming to see me at this sensitive time...
"Fulu, let's go to the study!" Yue Nanchen's eyes darkened and he strode away.
"Yes, sir!" Fulu hurriedly followed. It seemed that the best strategy was to get Princess Changning to leave as soon as possible!
Lying on the couch thinking
Lan Shuiyao stared at the two uninvited guests unhappily. What? Wasn't the lesson last time enough? Why did they come to my door again?
When Jiang Cheng saw the woman's cold and sinister eyes, his heart suddenly sank, and she signaled Ningxiang to speak.
Ningxiang was also so frightened that her whole body was trembling. She hid behind Jiang Cheng and refused to come out.
Thinking that she, the Princess of Yongnan, would actually be afraid of a concubine, Jiang Cheng suddenly raised her head, her lips curled up, and suddenly revealed an awkward smile, "Sister, I came here this time to make peace with you!"
Repaired? Lan Shuiyao smiled calmly. Repaired it openly, but secretly hired someone to kill her. This woman is really good at pretending!
"What happened last time was a misunderstanding. I also know that you are very skilled and the prince dotes on you..." Before Jiang Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lan Shuiyao, "Just say whatever you want to say. I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to your nagging!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes darkened, and she was about to burst out in anger, but when she thought of Dong Qing'er in the hall, and then thought about the three years of being alone in an empty room, she finally endured it. She forced a smile and said, "Sister, do you know Dong Qing'er?"
Lan Shuiyao was too lazy to nod.
"She is in the hall of the palace now!" Jiang Cheng could only speak to himself, "You should also know that the prince has always liked Dong Qing'er! Now that Prince Changning is going to marry a concubine, she may have come this time to seduce the prince!"
Jiang Cheng became a little anxious. Looking at Lan Shuiyao's calm and complacent look, she couldn't help but get angry, as if her words had no effect on Lan Shuiyao!
Lan Shuiyao remained indifferent. Only Yue Nanchen, the self-righteous pig-head, would like that pretentious woman! But why think about it? It's none of her business anyway!
