"Believe in what? Believe that you won't disregard human life? Believe that you won't be like your father, resorting to any means to achieve your goals? Or do you want me to believe that none of these things ever happened?"
"You knew I was ruthless the day you met me!" Lan Linxue roared. "Didn't you know I was a ruthless person when you investigated me? Let me tell you, if you want to find a kind-hearted bookworm or a fool to be slaughtered, then get out! Lan Linxue here has always been ruthless!"
After Lan Linxue finished speaking, she glared at Qin Kou'er, panting heavily.
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, wanting to cry, but not a single tear fell.
Slowly shaking her head, Qin Kou'er said calmly, yet with endless despair in her voice, "You're beyond saving! Lan Linxue, you really are beyond saving!"
After hearing Qin Kou'er's words, Lan Linxue immediately grabbed Qin Kou'er's cold hand tightly.
"Don't do this! Everyone else can treat me like this, but not you! Not you!"
Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, and her eyes instantly reddened.
"Why can't I? Because I like you?" Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue, gave a bleak smile, and her eyes slowly welled up with tears. "No one can treat you like this except me! I simply cannot tolerate my future husband being such a despicable person, because I'm afraid that if I follow you, I won't even dare to close my eyes. Because there are too many people coming to collect debts."
"Qin Kou'er, why can't you understand my heart? Why do you insist on clinging to this matter! I said I'd help you rescue everyone. I'll help you with money, land, whatever you need, as long as those places and houses are flooded, this matter will be over!"
Qin Kou'er couldn't stand it anymore and abruptly shook off Lan Linxue's hand. "This isn't about the house or the place; this is about destroying the family and the land—it's an outrageous act!"
"Where there are people, there are houses! Where there are people, there are homes!" Lan Linxue was so angry he couldn't even describe it. He stubbornly pulled Qin Kou'er's hand back: "If I don't do something utterly immoral, Lan Shanyang will never let me go, do you know that? Without this pretext, Hu Tianyong and the others won't have such a strong excuse to put pressure on the Emperor! Lan Shanyang is crazy. He insists on making me this worthless Crown Prince. Does he really think anyone cares? Anyway, I don't care! Rather than be manipulated to death by him sooner or later, I'd rather be condemned by Heaven!"
No sooner had Lan Linxue finished speaking than Qin Kou'er slapped her across the face.
With a snap, five light red handprints were pulled out.
"Lan Linxue! You have really disappointed me!"
Qin Kou'er's tears finally fell, her eyes filled with hatred as she said, "How could my aunt have given birth to such a cowardly and incompetent son as you? How is your heart any different from Lan Shanyang's back then!..."
“The difference is that he wants to be the emperor, while I don’t!” Lan Linxue turned her head and looked at Qin Kou’er with a cold gaze.
"But his stubbornness resulted in the loss of his wife and the loss of his son's mother! Do you want to lose me too?"
Lan Linxue stared at Qin Kou'er, her eyes filled with fierce determination, "I absolutely cannot lose you! No one can take you away from me!"
"But you've already lost me!" Qin Kou'er fell silent again.
Their gazes locked in a silent struggle, and slowly Qin Kou'er's eyes dimmed.
Finally, with a sigh, Qin Kou'er stood up.
"Is there absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter?" Qin Kou'er asked desperately.
"Yes!" Lan Linxue replied coldly.
"Is there no other way to replace it?"
"yes!"
Qin Kou'er nodded and whispered, "I understand!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er walked out with difficulty.
Upon seeing this, Lan Linxue immediately tried to jump out of bed to grab Qin Kou'er's hand.
Qin Kou'er seemed to be able to see all his movements. Just as Lan Linxue was about to get down, Qin Kou'er suddenly turned around, grabbed the curtain next to her, and threw it forcefully at Lan Linxue.
Lan Linxue was hit squarely in the chest, as if something had struck her hard. She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the bed.
Qin Kou'er stared coldly at Lan Linxue, and said woodenly, "Lan Linxue, we're finished! I've said it before, I will marry no one but the Crown Prince in this lifetime! Since you don't want to be the Crown Prince, then from today onwards, we sever all ties and take care of ourselves!"
Lan Linxue clutched her chest and lay on the bed, unable to utter a single word. She stared intently at Qin Kou'er and slowly reached out her hand.
Qin Kou'er acted as if she hadn't seen anything. "Now you know why your mother would rather die than see you and your father, right? A woman of the Qin family would rather marry a pig or a dog than marry into a beast like the Lan family! I'll go rescue the people outside, but let me tell you, from today onwards, if you dare to block my way again, and I see you, I will absolutely not let you off!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er turned and walked out, her steps resolute and her back straight.
The moment Qin Kou'er left, Lan Linxue rudely lowered her raised hand, and a tear of pain rolled down her cheek.
Qin Kou'er had forgotten how she got back to the Qin Tian Pavilion headquarters.
She locked everyone out, smashed everything in the room to pieces, and then, when no one could see, buried her face in the blanket and wept bitterly.
Not knowing what had happened, but with no one daring to knock on the door, they hurried to find Jun Yannuo.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yannuo rushed back, but just as he was about to push open the door to see what was going on, he was blocked outside by something that Qin Kou'er threw out from inside the door.
