With her head down, Qin Kou'er's mind raced.
Should she tell her master that Qin Meiying is not dead?
Although she knew that her master's longing for Qin Meiying had tormented him every day over the years, so many years had passed and many things had become scars. Perhaps it would be more comfortable to keep quiet. If she were to tell her master now that Qin Meiying was not dead at all, she couldn't even imagine what her master would do!
Thinking of the entangled gazes between Qin Meiying and Lan Shanyang, Qin Kou'er suddenly made a bold decision: she absolutely could not tell the person in front of her this news. Even if she had to, it definitely not now.
Although her master seemed hard-hearted and cold, she knew that people like that were the least able to withstand too much stimulation!
Therefore, rather than letting Master fall into the entanglement of deep contemplation once again, it is better to live quietly in longing and hatred.
We must at least get through this period, and wait until everything is over and Master can regain his identity before we talk about it again.
"Get up! The ground is cold, and you're pregnant. What are you doing kneeling?"
The man in black spoke in a deep voice, with a hint of hoarseness that was difficult to pinpoint. It seemed as if he was speaking in a hushed tone, or perhaps it was simply how he was supposed to speak.
Qin Kou'er quickly stood up and stood respectfully to the side.
Looking at the back of the figure in front of her, Qin Kou'er said in a slightly soft voice, "Does Master know that his disciple is pregnant?"
"Hehe, everyone in Qin Tian Pavilion knows this, so how could I not know it!"
Qin Kou'er was a little uneasy. She had never told her master about this, and she wondered if he would be angry.
The man in black slowly turned around, his face veiled as he quietly gazed at Qin Kou'er.
"Are you afraid I'll use this child to threaten Lan Shanyang because you didn't tell me about this?"
Qin Kou'er quickly looked up and said, "This disciple wouldn't dare! The child came suddenly, and this disciple wasn't prepared at all! I just don't know how to tell Master!"
Qin Kou'er tried her best to maintain her composure, afraid that the man in black would see the slight fear in her heart.
In fact, Qin Kou'er did have this thought in her heart.
She knew that her master's hatred for Lan Shanyang was immense, and even she herself couldn't completely forgive Lan Shanyang. But that didn't mean her child had to become a victim of this hatred.
Her son has always been innocent and has no grudges against anyone.
Qin Kou'er had sworn to herself that she would never let her child live in hatred again. His birth would only make the world a better place, not prolong this suffering.
But even if she died, she could not say these words to her master.
The man in black looked at Qin Kou'er for a while before letting out a low chuckle and slowly walking to sit down on the chair next to him: "Actually, you don't need to say anything, I already know what you're thinking! The hatred from the previous generation has already continued to your generation, and it absolutely cannot be passed down any further! Your master understands this principle!"
Qin Kou'er lowered her head and remained silent. She obediently walked to the man in black, carefully poured him a cup of tea, and gently touched it to her master.
The man in black picked up his teacup, gently stirred it, and changed the subject, asking, "How is Hu Tianyong's matter being handled now?"
“Master must already know what happened in the court today! It’s impossible for Hu Tianyong to make a comeback now. We’ve eliminated all his backup forces. Apart from those Northern Kingdom assassins, the others are no threat at all! Moreover, according to Lan Shanyang’s plan, Hu Tianyong definitely won’t live past autumn! His two sons have already been sentenced to death by slow slicing by the Emperor!”
"That's not enough!"
The man in black placed the tea on the table. "Lan Xiuyuan isn't dead yet! The Hu family isn't completely finished!"
"Yes! Kou'er has already figured out how to deal with Lan Xiuyuan! However, she still needs Master's help with this matter!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er quickly whispered a few words in the man's ear.
After saying that, he quickly took a step back, "Disciple just wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Lan Xiuyuan, as well as those assassins that Hu Tianyong entrusted to him!"
The man in black listened for a long time without saying anything, but instead tapped the table with his hand intermittently.
After a long while, he slightly raised his head and looked at Qin Kou'er, saying, "Is there a problem you've overlooked?"
"Oh? I wonder which point Master is referring to?"
"Hu Tianyong has controlled these assassins for many years, and not only Lan Shanyang, but even his closest confidants were unaware of it. So how is Hu Tianyong going to hand these people over to Lan Xiuyuan?"
Qin Kou'er was stunned after hearing this. She looked up at the man in black in surprise: "Has Hu Tianyong not handed these people over yet?"
The man in black looked into the distance and shook his head slightly: "As far as I know, there isn't one yet!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er immediately stood up straight, her mind racing with several thoughts.
"If Hu Tianyong doesn't hand these people over, wouldn't all our arrangements have been in vain?"
The man in black nodded. "That's exactly what I think! Even if Hu Tianyong shouts until the sky falls, he won't be able to see Lan Xiuyuan now. And Lan Xiuyuan is currently trapped in the mansion and can't move. Do you think they can openly do what you're thinking?"
Qin Kou'er fell silent. How could she make such a basic mistake? She had arranged everything perfectly, how could she have overlooked this step?
The old folks were right, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years!
She overlooked such an important detail at the very beginning; it seems she needs to be more careful in the future.
