Lan Xiuyuan smiled deeply, his eyes flashing as he looked at Qin Kou'er: "What I prepare for Kou'er will always be the best!"
Qin Kou'er glanced at Lan Xiuyuan with a slightly coquettish yet shy expression, then gently covered her teacup and took a sip of tea.
Setting down her teacup, Qin Kou'er nodded: "It is indeed fine tea!"
Then, with a bitter smile, he said, "Unfortunately, all I seem to bring to Xiuyuan is trouble!"
Lan Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow, staring intently into Qin Kou'er's eyes. "If a man can't even solve problems, how can he be worthy of your trust and unwavering support through thick and thin?!"
Qin Kou'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Lan Xiuyuan with some surprise.
Lan Xiuyuan didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "I know the Crown Prince isn't feeling well today, and I also know you smashed things in the room!"
Qin Kou'er immediately showed a surprised expression. What truly worried her was that Lan Xiuyuan knew Lan Linxue's health was poor; would he poison Lan Linxue at this time?
Lan Linxue, that troublemaker, she can't stop worrying about him every day.
Composing herself, Qin Kou'er smiled and said, "You princes and crown princes are really unbearable. Nothing escapes your notice. Well then, let me test you, Xiu Yuan, what did I eat tonight?"
"You didn't eat anything tonight!"
After saying that, Lan Xiuyuan magically pushed a food box over from the side.
Gently open it, and you'll find a variety of exquisite pastries.
Pushing the food in front of Qin Kou'er, Lan Xiuyuan said softly, "You should at least eat something. You can't let yourself suffer too much!"
Qin Kou'er looked at the pastries, then looked up at Lan Xiuyuan. This time, she was genuinely surprised.
Regardless of the circumstances, Lan Xiuyuan was indeed good to me.
Qin Kou'er gently picked up a piece of pastry, put it in her mouth, took a careful bite, and then looked at Lan Xiuyuan with a sweet smile: "Delicious!"
Lan Xiuyuan smiled slightly and lowered his head to continue drinking his tea.
Qin Kou'er ate the pastries, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Lan Xiuyuan is incredibly kind to me, while Lan Linxue is incredibly mean to me. When has he ever taken such good care of me? On the contrary, she's like his mother, always worrying about him!
What's even more frustrating is that even though Lan Linxue is so wicked, she still can't think of a way to forget him, leaving him haunting her heart like a persistent ghost!
Thinking of her anger and grievances, Qin Kou'er suddenly took a big bite and took half of the pastry.
She looked up and found Lan Xiuyuan staring at her in surprise.
Oh no! I didn't get it right!
Qin Kou'er quickly smiled, picked up her teacup, and said shyly, "It's better not to eat! Once I start eating, I'm really hungry!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er quickly drank a cup of tea and hid her face behind the teacup.
Lan Xiuyuan nodded indifferently, then refilled Qin Kou'er's water.
"Kou'er, just be yourself in front of me! Don't hide your happiness or sadness!"
After saying that, Lan Xiuyuan stared straight at Qin Kou'er, as if he wanted to pierce through her soul.
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Xiuyuan for a while before giving a bitter smile: "Kou'er is adrift in the world, where is she anymore? Qin Tian Pavilion is glorious, but it is also full of risks! Kou'er is barely holding on to this boat, and who knows when she will be buried at the bottom of the river?"
"Is something wrong with Ke'er?"
Lan Xiuyuan knew that Qin Kou'er didn't want to talk about her and Lan Linxue, so he didn't force her. He believed that one day he would reach Qin Kou'er's heart, because no matter what, he would help her overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles instead of setting up obstacles for her.
Qin Kou'er glanced at Lan Xiuyuan, put down the pastries in her hand, and said, "Since Fifth Master knows that I broke something, he must also know that I just went to see Lord Jiang!"
Lan Xiuyuan nodded.
Qin Kou'er sighed softly, "The Crown Prince has entrusted Lan Linxue with such a big task. Even if I mobilize all my people, I still can't handle it. Moreover, relocating so many people is definitely not something a poor commoner like me can manage. So, with no other choice, I had to go to Lord Jiang!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er sighed helplessly, her face full of melancholy.
Lan Xiuyuan smiled knowingly: "What? Jiang Ming is just going to stand by and watch me die?"
Qin Kou'er tightened her nose and shook her head. "Lord Jiang is sitting there worrying about how to patch up his debts! I had no choice but to come to Fifth Master for help. Xiu Yuan, if you don't help me, I really don't know what to do! Sigh!"
"How do you want me to help you?" Lan Xiuyuan was quite interested in Qin Kou'er's offer of help.
Qin Kou'er glanced at Lan Xiuyuan and smiled slightly, saying, "You're so clever, why do you insist that I ask you for a favor? Don't you know that Lord Jiang's intention is to make a fuss about the Prime Minister's birthday gift? He wants to make up for the money owed to Lan Linxue first, and then have the officials of Jiangnan jointly send a large gift. However, the rest will require your help, Fifth Master, to speak well of them in front of the Prime Minister. For example, mention that Jiangnan encountered highway robbers this year!"
"Hahaha……"
Lan Xiuyuan immediately burst into laughter, and Qin Kou'er smiled along with him, pursing her lips.
"Kou'er, I never knew you were so witty!" It took Lan Xiuyuan a while to stop laughing. Looking at Qin Kou'er, he became even more deeply in love.
"Was this idea Jiang Ming came up with?" Lan Xiuyuan teased Qin Kou'er.
Qin Kou'er blinked, then immediately bit her lip lightly and muttered softly, "You knew it was me who did it, yet you still exposed me. Honestly! You should at least have shown me some consideration!"
