Sure enough, after a while, the noise inside the house stopped.
Lan Shanyang glared fiercely at Lan Linxue, then slammed the object in his hand to the ground, pointing at Lan Linxue and saying, "You little beast, let me tell you, don't think that I'm letting you off the hook by giving the person back to you. I haven't approved your lousy plan yet! If you cause any more trouble, I'll skin you alive!"
After saying that, Lan Shanyang didn't even glance at Lan Linxue before turning and walking away. He was afraid that he would be so angry that he would die.
Lan Linxue looked at Lan Shanyang's back and suddenly smiled warmly. Her father said more harsh words than anyone else, but he had never disobeyed her once when it mattered!
"Dad! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Lan Shanyang paused for a moment, then immediately opened the door and walked out.
When Lan Qingtian saw Lan Shanyang come out, he immediately chuckled and said, "Brother, you are still wise!"
Lan Shanyang glared fiercely at Lan Qingtian, then turned to Jing Quan and said coldly, "Get all these people out of here! Clumsy and incompetent, they can't even keep an eye on one person! And they even tried to hang themselves! Go, have them guard the city gates for three days! Let those bastards under Lan Linxue in!"
"Yes!" Quan Jing agreed with a smile, and the Crown Prince finally came out.
Lan Shanyang snorted and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Panoramic view quickly followed, and Lan Qingtian turned around and went into the house.
Lan Shanyang took a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly to look at the panoramic view, and asked in a low voice, "Has Shuanghua returned? I didn't see that brat when I went to pay my respects a few days ago?"
After thinking for a moment, Quan Jing lowered his head and whispered to Lan Shanyang, "I really didn't see Shuanghua! It seems he didn't come back with the Crown Prince this time!"
Lan Shanyang frowned instantly. "Shuanghua and Xiaoxue are always inseparable, so why didn't they come back this time? Have someone check where Shuanghua went!"
"Yes! This servant will go immediately!"
Lan Shanyang nodded, then glanced at her son's room with a sinister look before turning and striding out.
When Lan Qingtian entered the room, Lan Linxue was picking up a chair from the ground and slumping down wearily.
Lan Qingtian smirked and said sarcastically, "Oh! Tired of hanging yourself? You even know to sit down and rest! So, what method are you going to use next time? Drink poison or jump into the river? Tell Uncle Qi in advance so he can leave the capital early and give you two a place to mess around!"
Lan Linxue glared at Lan Qingtian, annoyed. It was easy for him to talk when he wasn't in the situation. Did he think his father's anger would subside so easily? Without some ruthless measures, how could he possibly get out of here!
Thinking of going out, Lan Linxue immediately sat up straight and looked at Lan Qingtian anxiously, saying, "Seventh Uncle, has Fifth Brother returned yet?"
"I've been back for two days! What are you doing here?"
Lan Qingtian also found a chair, helped Lan Linxue up, and sat down next to her.
The people below were about to come in and pack their things when they were scared away again by a single look from Lan Linxue.
"Did he come back by himself, or did he bring people with him?" Lan Linxue asked anxiously.
Lan Qingtian watched as Lan Linxue suddenly showed a strange expression, which then became increasingly ambiguous. She touched her chin, her face full of inquiry.
"Seventh Uncle, why do you have such a lewd expression? It's creepy!"
Lan Linxue said with disdain, "At her age, she still acts like she's searching for something. It's unbearable!"
This time, Lan Qingtian didn't hit anyone. Instead, he smiled and moved closer to Lan Linxue, asking in a more ambiguous tone, "Xiaoxue, tell Uncle Qi, have you taken a fancy to someone? Otherwise, why would you ask such a question?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately smiled knowingly and turned to look at Lan Qingtian, saying, "Seventh Uncle is asking this because someone did indeed return with Lan Xiuyuan! Was it Kou'er?"
"Pah! Calling her 'Kou'er' again! So intimate, doesn't she worry about getting heat rash all over her body?" Lan Qingtian felt numb all over.
Lan Linxue smiled wickedly, "Then why do you keep calling her 'Tong'er' all day long? Doesn't that make you uncomfortable? Not only do you call her so affectionately, but you also serve her tea and water! Wherever Seventh Aunt goes, you follow her, worried that she might be cold or hot! Aren't you disgusted that you were chased all over the city by bees just to get her some fresh honey? We've been watching that for years!"
Lan Qingtian immediately glared at him: "How can that be the same! Your seventh aunt was carried back to the Prince's mansion in a grand sedan chair! You haven't even done anything yet, why are you calling her so affectionately!"
"I'd love to!" Lan Linxue raised her face, her expression full of willfulness and pride: "You mean, didn't Kou'er come along too?"
Lan Linxue had calculated that if Qin Kou'er were to arrive in the city, she would definitely run into Lan Xiuyuan. And that scoundrel Lan Xiuyuan would never miss an opportunity to seduce his woman, so most likely, the two of them would enter the city together.
Lan Qingtian nodded, "When Fifth Brother came back, he was with a girl! But when they were about two miles outside the city, Miss Qin left on her own! However, those who went to pick up Fifth Brother said that he treated the girl very well. He even got out of his carriage himself, went over and took her hand to help her down. When they parted, they were very reluctant to say goodbye. They looked like a perfect match, a match made in heaven..."
"Bang!"
Before Lan Qingtian could finish speaking, Lan Linxue jumped up and kicked the stool she was standing on away again.
"What do you mean, a perfect match, a match made in heaven? Which bastard said that? I'll rip his tongue out when I get back!"
