However, Qin Kou'er did not want to immediately reject Lan Xiuyuan, because if she could become a concubine, she would get closer to Lan Linxue. However, using Lan Xiuyuan in this way was too despicable.
Just as Qin Kou'er was hesitating, a voice came from outside.
"Hey? I said, you gatekeeper, do I need you to relay messages here to see Qin Kou'er? Get out of here right now, or I'll have someone beat you up!"
Lan Linxue's voice drifted in like a spell, and before Qin Kou'er could fully react, Lan Linxue had already strode in.
"Kou'er, I have something to tell you, you..."
As soon as Lan Linxue entered and turned her head, she was surprised to find Lan Xiuyuan there, and she was stunned for a moment.
However, when he looked down and saw that Qin Kou'er had not yet pulled away from Lan Xiuyuan's tightly clenched hand, his expression immediately changed, and his gloomy and sinister look was even tinged with a strong sense of bloodlust.
Qin Kou'er inwardly cried out in alarm, quickly pulling her hand away and smiling as she tried to pull Lan Linxue away. However, Lan Linxue suddenly surged forward, overtaking Qin Kou'er, and swung the chair next to her, smashing it down on Lan Xiuyuan's head.
Lan Xiuyuan didn't expect Lan Linxue to go all out right from the start, so he quickly dodged backward.
He appeared somewhat disheveled while dodging.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Lan Xiuyuan roared, but Lan Linxue acted as if she hadn't heard him. She smashed a stool on the ground, and with a swift movement, she pulled a dagger from her leg and stabbed it directly at Lan Xiuyuan.
Lan Xiuyuan and Lan Linxue didn't say a word, but came up with a do-or-die attitude. He couldn't help but dodge quickly. He wanted to wave his hand, but found that Lan Linxue was so angry that her movements were many times faster, and he seemed to be no match for her at all.
Seeing Lan Linxue's eyes almost red as she fought desperately, Qin Kou'er quickly shouted outside, "Guards! Stop the Prince!"
She used to handle these things herself, but now that she was pregnant, she was afraid that Lan Linxue might hurt the baby in a moment of impulsiveness, so she could only call for help from outside.
Hai Tian and Lao Qi had been following Lan Linxue. They were a little anxious when they saw Lan Linxue risking her life, but because they didn't have their masters' orders, neither of them dared to come in. When they heard Qin Kou'er shout, they rushed in to stop Lan Linxue.
At this moment, Lan Linxue was not so easy to stop. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had only one thought in his mind: he had to kill Lan Xiuyuan, who dared to touch his woman's hand so casually.
Hai Tian and Lao Qi tried to grab Lan Linxue, but Lan Linxue's blade spun back and forth, so the two of them were afraid of hurting him and couldn't rush up.
When Lan Xiuyuan's men saw that their master had suffered a loss and was about to be dealt with by Lan Linxue, they rushed in to join the fight.
As soon as Lao Qi saw the other side approaching, he whistled and immediately charged forward, punching and kicking.
Soon, more and more people joined both sides, and the room was filled with broken items and chaotic figures.
Qin Kou'er stood in the corner, completely surprised that things had turned out this way, and she was so angry that her heart ached.
Looking around, she saw that there was one last large vase that was intact. Qin Kou'er immediately rushed over, picked up the vase, and smashed it on the ground with a loud bang.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Qin Kou'er roared, and everyone froze, staring at her. Only Lan Linxue continued her desperate, cold-faced pursuit of Lan Xiuyuan.
When Qin Kou'er saw that everyone had stopped except for that fool who was still struggling, she quickly walked over, grabbed Lan Linxue from behind, and threw her away.
"Lan Linxue! Didn't you hear me when I said stop? Are you crazy?!"
Lan Linxue was completely unaware of what was happening behind him and was thrown off balance by Qin Kou'er. He glared fiercely at Qin Kou'er, then raised his dagger and gritted his teeth, saying, "Get out of my way! Nobody's stopping me today!"
Qin Kou'er was furious. How could he jump to conclusions and overthink things? Did shaking hands mean they were having an affair? Although there was a hint of affection between them, couldn't he tell she was rejecting him?
"If murder isn't illegal, then kill him right now!" Qin Kou'er coldly stared at Lan Linxue. "But don't blame me for not warning you, the person you're about to kill is your own brother!"
"He even flirted with his own sister-in-law! Why don't you say anything about him?!"
When Lan Linxue saw that Qin Kou'er was actually stopping him from explaining things to Lan Xiuyuan, her anger became even more uncontrollable!
Qin Kou'er was so angry that her face turned pale. He dared to talk nonsense in front of so many people. He must be going crazy.
Lan Xiuyuan gave a cold laugh, straightened up, and looked at Lan Linxue without flinching: "Kou'er is an innocent girl, she has nothing to do with you at all! I think you should stop trying to make yourself look good, Your Highness!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue turned even paler with rage. She pushed away the person supporting her from behind, straightened her body, and gave a bloodthirsty smile: "Do you think you know better than me, the person involved, whether there's a connection or not? Lan Xiuyuan, let me tell you, not only is there a connection! There's a huge connection! You'll never be able to touch a single hair on Qin Kou'er's head in your entire life!"
Qin Kou'er, hearing Lan Linxue's words and realizing he was about to lose control, quickly went over, grabbed his sleeve, and forced a smile, saying, "You're being a bit irrational right now, so be careful what you say! Don't say anything irrelevant!"
Lan Linxue didn't even glance at Qin Kou'er, only coldly staring at her mortal enemy, Lan Xiuyuan, before shoving Qin Kou'er behind her. "Lan Xiuyuan! We'd better settle our own problems! I'm telling you now, Qin Kou'er is mine! I'm going to marry her!"
