The old man admired the culture of the Central Plains at that time, and unable to resist the man's sweet talk, he moved his whole family to the south and settled in Jiangnan.
The Qin family was extremely wealthy and had no need to rely on others. Moreover, the Qin family had been in business for generations, and within a few years, they became the most prominent family in Jiangnan.
Later, the old man's health deteriorated, and among his descendants, there were very few who were wise and capable of shouldering the family's mission.
Only her youngest daughter, born late in life, was exceptionally intelligent and quick-witted. Not only did she possess a photographic memory, but she was also as beautiful as an angel and managed both household affairs with remarkable skill. When it came to accounting and business, she was a truly remarkable woman, admired even by her brothers and uncles. This is your mother, Qin Meiying.”
This was the first time Lan Linxue had learned that his mother's name was Meiying, and it sounded so beautiful.
Lan Linxue felt a pang of sadness, but she maintained a calm demeanor. "And then?"
"At that time, the clan had unanimously agreed that your mother would be elected as the head of the Qin family and officially take over all of the Qin family's businesses! The Chu Zhao people have different rules than you; they believe that the capable should take on more responsibilities. Unlike you Han people, who believe that only men can inherit the family business."
After two years of meticulous planning by the young lady, the Qin family was at the height of its power and influence. Moreover, your mother saved many lives and lent a helping hand to many in the martial arts world. I was one of those people who were down on my luck and had nowhere else to turn, and the young lady rescued me. Therefore, everyone knows that the Qin family's possessions belong to the young lady, and no one can touch them! If you do, someone will take your life! These are the rules, and no one can change them!
"And this rule is still in effect here with Qin Kou'er, isn't it?"
Granny Qin smiled and nodded, "Some people can be heartless and ruthless, but people in the martial arts world repay kindness with kindness and avenge wrongs! This child, Kou'er, is no less capable than your mother was back then, so this rule is still being followed in secret."
"Then how did my mother later enter the palace and become the empress?"
Granny Qin's expression darkened. "Because your mother met your father! Lan Shanyang! Humph, back then he was a good-for-nothing playboy prince, and now he's become an emperor, it's outrageous!"
Lan Linxue didn't react to these words, but Shuanghua noticed and couldn't help but ask, "Is the Emperor also a playboy?"
Lan Linxue immediately glared fiercely at Shuanghua, but Granny Qin nodded.
"Not only is he a spoiled brat, but he's also shameless! I've never seen a man go through all that trouble, just to let our young lady see him one more time, he actually locked himself in a cage and tried to burn himself to death. Humph, there's nothing Lan Shanyang wouldn't dare to do! Luckily, our Crown Prince is more like our young lady, both obedient and sensible!"
After hearing this, Shuanghua couldn't hold back and choked herself to death with a mouthful of saliva, coughing violently.
Pooh!
Lan Linxue is both well-behaved and sensible? I've never seen her like that before!
Lan Linxue really wanted to kick Shuanghua away, and gave him a fierce warning glare.
"Originally, our whole family looked down on Lan Shanyang in the slightest. What kind of man is so shameless, insisting on pestering someone? Our young lady's husband must be someone of unparalleled talent, how could he possibly be the good-for-nothing Lan Shanyang? Just when we all thought they were two completely unrelated people, things took a turn for the worse than we ever imagined. Our young lady actually fell genuinely in love with the number one playboy in the world, Lan Shanyang!"
