Lan Xiuyuan laughed again, feeling happier than he had ever been in his life. It seemed that every second he spent with Qin Kou'er, he could discover something new and interesting about her, which made Lan Xiuyuan feel more and more that Qin Kou'er was the only one for him in this life.
"Don't just laugh! You haven't said whether you agree or not. I patted my chest in front of Lord Jiang!"
Qin Kou'er glared at Lan Xiuyuan with a coquettish expression.
Lan Xiuyuan finally suppressed his smile, then looked at Qin Kou'er and nodded with a mixture of doting and indulgence, "Agreed! I have to agree! How can I not agree when Pavilion Master Qin has said so!"
Qin Kou'er blushed instantly, her face flushing with shyness, which made the lark beside her chirp twice.
Lan Xiuyuan turned his body to look at Qin Kou'er up close, and instantly thought of admiring a beauty under the lamplight, and sighed in astonishment.
Qin Kou'er is truly beautiful; she exudes indescribable charm in the flickering candlelight and graceful elegance in the misty rain.
"Kou'er?"
"Um?"
"I've agreed to this, how do you plan to repay me?"
Qin Kou'er frowned; she knew that none of these people wanted to take advantage of her.
"Xiuyuan, how do you think I should repay you?"
Lan Xiuyuan lowered his eyes slightly and said softly, "Don't overthink it. I just want Kou'er to play a tune for me here. I don't know if Kou'er will agree!"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, said nothing, but got up and walked over, slowly picked up the zither and placed it on her lap, then lowered her head and gently lowered her delicate hand.
Lan Linxue already knew that Qin Kou'er had gone to see Jiang Ming.
He was lying in bed, trying to eat fruit to replenish his strength and recover, while listening to Lao Qi tell him the news he had gathered from outside.
"Miss Qin went to see Jiang Ming. I don't know what they talked about, but Jiang Ming seemed quite happy!"
Lan Linxue lay on the bed, tossing grapes into her mouth while shaking her leg.
"Hehe, the only thing that can make Jiang Ming happy right now is not having to spend any money! I bet he extorted some money from Qin Kou'er!"
"Why would Miss Qin go and extort money from Jiang Ming for no reason?" Old Seven couldn't understand how anyone could think they had too much money.
"Are you an idiot? Ke'er has to manage the relocation of so many people all by herself, and I can't show my face. Of course she has to go to Jiang Ming, who has a lot of idle subordinates, for help! Can't you even understand this? You're such a moron!"
Lan Linxue had given up all hope for Lao Qi's intelligence.
The seventh brother pursed his lips and didn't say anything. After a while, news from outside came back.
The seventh brother glanced at it, then gave Lan Linxue a strange look.
Walking over, the seventh brother said lazily, "Miss Qin has returned to the manor!"
Lan Linxue nodded in satisfaction. It was so late; a woman should go home early to avoid being targeted by lecherous men.
"After changing her clothes and looking exceptionally beautiful, Miss Qin went out again!"
Lan Linxue was taken aback, then looked up at Lao Qi and asked nervously, "Where did you go to change your clothes?"
"The Fifth Prince's residence!"
Lan Linxue threw the grapes in her hand away and angrily pointed at Lao Qi: "What are you doing there in the middle of the night?"
"How should I know!" Old Seven felt very innocent.
Lan Linxue immediately felt unwell; she couldn't lie down or sit on the bed, and felt as if she were being roasted by fire.
Finally, someone from below came in to report.
After taking a look, Lao Qi hesitated for a moment. Should he continue to expedite the matter with Lan Linxue?
Will he cough up blood again if he finds out?
Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry up and tell me!
Lan Linxue made a decision: once he returned to the palace, he would kick the seventh prince far away to prevent it from affecting his intelligence.
"After Miss Qin arrived at the Fifth Prince's place, she first stood in the rain listening to him play the zither! Her expression was somewhat melancholy!..."
"What's so great about listening to a zither?!"
Lan Linxue roared and threw the pillow down, "You want to hear me play the piano? Can't I? What's the point of the two of us meeting so late at night!"
Thinking of this, Lan Linxue almost wanted to go out and kill someone.
Hmph, she never said she wanted to hear someone play the piano. Does that mean he can't play?
"After listening to the zither performance, we had tea together. The Fifth Prince brought out a box of pastries for Miss Qin, who was very touched and ate the pastries!"
Lan Linxue threw the book in her hand away. "Didn't Qin Kou'er eat dinner? Why didn't you tell me she didn't eat? Didn't I tell her to eat the same thing as me every day? Why didn't you do that!"
Lan Linxue was so angry her face turned red. These pigs, if Kou'er were to be snatched away by Lan Xiuyuan, it would definitely be their fault.
The seventh brother looked at Lan Linxue blankly and said, "The Crown Prince said he wanted us to deliver food tomorrow, not tonight!"
Lan Linxue pointed at the seventh brother, clutched her stomach, and collapsed.
The seventh prince continued reading with the paper in hand: "The two talked for a while longer, and now Miss Qin is playing the zither for the Fifth Prince, while the Fifth Prince is playing the flute and the zither in harmony!"
Lan Linxue grabbed the fruit plate beside her and threw it away. "Guards! Go and bring Lan Xiuyuan here! My poor son is dying, and he won't even come to see me. Does he really want to die?"
puff!
Old Seven almost burst out laughing; this guy's behavior was too obvious.
However, he didn't say much and just walked out.
Please summon the Fifth Prince!
When Qin Kou'er's zither music ended, Lan Xiuyuan's flute music also stopped.
Qin Kou'er turned to look at Lan Xiuyuan and said admiringly, "Fifth Master is truly learned and talented. I have learned a lot from you today!"
