Lan Linxue suddenly had a flash of inspiration when she heard Qin Kou'er's voice. "Hey, Kou'er? Why don't I give you all my businesses in Jiangnan? You're in business anyway, so why not let you manage all the silk and sericulture? That way, they won't be wasted in my hands, and you can even expand your business!"
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lan Linxue, blinked, and said, "Are you willing to do that?"
Lan Linxue immediately said happily, "You're so willing to give me so much silver, why shouldn't I be willing to give it to you! This matter is settled then, and I'll have someone bring you all the property contracts later!"
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! Bring it to me later! Rather than letting you waste it there, I might as well actually take it; that way, it'll be a reasonable use!"
Seeing that Qin Kou'er accepted his conditions so readily, Lan Linxue couldn't stop smiling. He leaned closer to Qin Kou'er and whispered, "Wife, I feel more and more that we're a perfect match. What should we do?"
Qin Kou'er laughed and pinched his nose: "What perfect match? You're the one bullying me!"
Lan Linxue saw that Qin Kou'er's smile was truly stunning, and her heart stirred, so she reached out to grab Qin Kou'er's hand.
Qin Kou'er immediately dodged, and the two of them began to play around in the pavilion.
Just as the two were enjoying their sweet moment together, they suddenly saw a group of people approaching from afar. Lan Linxue immediately grabbed Qin Kou'er and hid behind a small side door in the corridor.
Qin Kou'er didn't know the specifics of what was going on, but seeing how nervous Lan Linxue was, she remained silent.
A group of people walked over quickly, and when they got closer, Lan Linxue realized that it was Xu Jinlan leading a group of people.
Xu Jinlan walked around and, seeing no one, angrily said to Hongmei, "You said the Emperor was here? Where is he now?"
Hongmei quickly smiled and said, "Just now, someone came back and said that the Emperor was here, and he even brought Qin Kou'er with him!"
Qin Kou'er heard someone talking about her, so she moved even closer.
Xu Jinlan angrily flung her handkerchief around her neck and said, "We haven't even dealt with that vixen in the East Courtyard yet! How come another Qin Kou'er has appeared? Why are all these demons and monsters flocking to the palace lately?"
Lan Linxue was furious when he heard Xu Jinlan speak ill of Qin Kou'er behind her back. He grabbed Qin Kou'er's hand and squeezed it tightly, but he still didn't leave. He wanted to see what this woman was up to.
"Your Highness, this Qin Kou'er is said to be a very influential person in Jiangnan! The one our Third Master recently brought back was sent up by her!..."
"It's that prostitute Zhao Ling'er!" Xu Jinlan spat viciously at this point. "Everyone says that birds will attract birds! Look at that Zhao Ling'er, she looks like a vixen, it's disgusting to look at! And she's a prostitute, yet she's like she's drugged your Third Master, making him completely infatuated! It turns out her master is powerful, she actually traveled thousands of miles to the palace to seduce the Emperor! I've always said that there isn't a single good person in the South, male thieves and female prostitutes, where is there any semblance of humanity?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er's face immediately turned cold. It seems that Lan Jiayuan's despicable behavior today is truly inseparable from his own mother!
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry! We don't know what's really going on with Qin Kou'er. Our information all comes from the East Courtyard. What if the Emperor just wants to reward her and doesn't mean anything by it? If we make a scene, the Emperor will lose face, and we'll be in deep trouble. So, in my opinion, it's best if we remain still and let the East Courtyard cause some trouble! If that Miss Qin is really after the Emperor, then we can take her life later!"
Hearing Hongmei's words, Xu Jinlan nodded. "You're right. Let's not move on for now. But did you find out what I asked you to find out yesterday? Which family's girl has that guy in the East Courtyard taken a fancy to?"
Hongmei shook her head: "I haven't heard anything about it! I only know that last night the girls in the East Courtyard looked at all the portraits and carefully inquired about everyone's family affairs. I heard it went on until midnight! But I haven't heard who they've chosen!"
"Okay! Keep an eye on things over there, and report back immediately if there's any news!"
"yes!"
Xu Jinlan looked around again, and after confirming that no one was there, she flicked her handkerchief and said, "What bad luck!" before turning and leaving.
Lan Linxue only pulled Qin Kou'er out from behind after she was sure Xu Jinlan had left with her people.
Neither of them looked too good.
"Looks like Zhao Ling'er worked? I bet the third brother is completely infatuated with her now!" Lan Linxue said coldly, looking into the distance.
Qin Kou'er shook her head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I haven't had time to contact her since I entered the city. But judging from what that person said just now, Lan Jiayuan has definitely been taken down! But why is she keeping an eye on Hu Qianyu's selection of concubines?"
Lan Linxue curled her lip, "No need to think, she's definitely eyeing Hu Qianyu. Our Lady Xu is a woman with a heart full of greed; she'll think anything that belongs to someone else is better. She won't be able to sleep well until she gets her hands on it!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er's eyes immediately lit up. "Oh? So that's how she is! That's wonderful! I was just worried that these ladies are all so perfect that it's hard to make a move on them!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately turned to look at Qin Kou'er: "What? Do you have a good idea?"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, "Indeed, only women truly understand matters between women!"
