Shuanghua nodded. "These bastards should hand over the silver! Even the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River charge a hundred or two hundred taels of silver for a song. Now that the Crown Prince is doing something so earth-shattering, these people dare to play dead. It's outrageous! Guitou is back. I'll have him go and fetch people later!"
Lan Linxue smiled when she thought of Gui Tou's method of asking for help, and nodded: "Okay! Let Gui Tou go!"
Thinking of Qin Kou'er working hard outside all by herself, while she couldn't even see her, she felt even more distressed.
Turning to look at Shuanghua, he asked in a low voice with a bitter expression, "If I go to see Ke'er now, do you think she will ignore me?"
Shuanghua stared wide-eyed at Lan Linxue: "Pay attention to you? You're lucky you're not eating! Master, let me tell you, don't think that just because someone gave you a bottle of medicine, your affair is over. I think if Miss Qin were to pay attention to you now, I would look down on her!"
"Why? What does what we two have to do with you?" Lan Linxue was very dissatisfied with Shuanghua's words!
"What do you mean by 'it's between the two of you'? You've stirred up the whole mess all by yourself, and they're cleaning up your mess! Do you think you'd be happy if you were in their shoes? Would you forgive them so easily? Not to mention, last time Miss Qin just got drunk on Fifth Master, and you were so angry you didn't eat for three days. If Miss Qin did something behind your back one day, you'd probably slit your own throat and hang yourself! Now you want forgiveness? You should just beg Miss Qin not to fall for someone else!"
Shuanghua shook her head. Lan Linxue was indeed a naive and childish idiot.
Upon hearing Shuanghua's words, Lan Linxue immediately became nervous: "Will Kou'er really not forgive me? Can't I even admit my mistake?"
Shuanghua sneered, "I don't know if it will work or not, but I do know that Pavilion Master Qin broke at least 100,000 taels of silver today! If Miss Qin ever forgives you, you'll have to pay her back that amount as compensation!"
"Wow! That's a lot of money!"
Lan Linxue's face looked a little unpleasant. This damned woman was smashing things when she was angry. Why didn't she smash something cheap?
"Money? If you have so much money, you might as well not apologize anymore! Cut ties with us as soon as possible!"
Shuanghua looked decisive and efficient.
He absolutely had to teach Lan Linxue a lesson today on behalf of Qin Kou'er, that good girl, and at least make up for it with money.
"Okay! Okay! I didn't say no!" Lan Linxue was extremely worried. "As long as she forgives me and doesn't run off with someone else, I'll pay any price!"
Lan Linxue's head was throbbing with pain.
Seeing that he had admitted defeat, Shuanghua felt a little better and shifted to a more comfortable position, saying, "Did you change the time for blowing up the dike? I was thinking that with such a large number of people to be moved, I'm afraid Miss Qin's side might be too rushed. Besides, some of the elderly are simply reluctant to leave their homeland; they'd rather die there than leave. Their ancestral graves are still there!"
Lan Linxue frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "The time can't be changed; it has to be midnight the day after tomorrow. If those explosives are buried for a few more days, they'll rot and there'll be no way to breach the dike. So, we must evacuate everyone within this timeframe. And we need to find a way to leak this information to Lan Xiuyuan."
At this point, Lan Linxue gave a wicked, cold smile: "I'm doing this despite the pain of separating from Kou'er, so there absolutely can't be any mishaps. I have to let Lan Xiuyuan know, otherwise the whole thing can't go on! We can't let this go to waste!"
Shuanghua frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "This is a tricky problem. If we're planning to blow up the dike, it's a top secret. If it's too easy for others to find out, it'll seem a bit fake. And to get in touch with you, it has to reach Lan Xiuyuan's ears. I feel like this is much more difficult than blowing up the dike!"
"It was difficult to begin with!"
Lan Linxue felt a little tired from sitting and wanted to lie down.
Shuanghua quickly stood up and took the pillow to put under Lan Linxue's head.
"This is the hardest part of the plan. At first, I wanted to find a pretext to kick Gui Tou out, and then naturally let Gui Tou go to Lan Xiuyuan. That way, as a greeting gift, I could tell Lan Xiuyuan about this. But now it seems that time is too tight. Gui Tou has to go and help Kou'er. We can't let Kou'er bear this alone. So now we have to think of another way!"
"What other options are there? There are so many things to deal with right now, making this all the more difficult than ever!"
Lan Linxue remained silent, but from his eyes, Shuanghua knew that this ghost was definitely plotting something to harm people again!
Shuanghua wasn't really worried, because for others, this problem might be harder than climbing to heaven. But for Lan Linxue, there had never been a problem as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Sure enough, Lan Linxue remained silent for a moment before turning to Shuanghua: "It's better to pass this matter up from the bottom up! I believe that as long as Lan Xiuyuan has even a little clue, he will definitely investigate it himself!"
At this point, Lan Linxue suddenly smiled slightly, relaxing her entire body as she leaned back on the pillow. "Sometimes we overcomplicate things. We think we have to calculate every single step to avoid making a mistake. But let me tell you, the more you do that, the more likely things are to go wrong. Because once any part doesn't go as planned, you start to panic, and then you'll inevitably try desperately to fix it. But let me tell you, the more you do, the more flaws you'll find. Rather than that, it's better to just throw out a pretext and let the rest of the work be filled in by the rest of us."
