Upon hearing Lan Linxue's words, Shuanghua's face turned cold, her brows furrowed, and she glared at him without moving an inch.
Lan Linxue jumped up and down on the ground and cursed a few more times. When she turned her head, she saw that Shuanghua hadn't moved. She immediately roared angrily, "I told you to go, why aren't you moving? Do you also think I can't control you anymore!"
Shuanghua glared at Lan Linxue and quickly uttered a single word: "Filthy!"
"Nonsense! If it weren't dirty, why would I have asked you to find a prostitute? Go now!"
Lan Linxue was so angry that her head felt like it was going to explode.
Qin Kou'er is fearless and no one can control her. Now even Shuanghua is acting on her own. How can we live a normal life like this?
Shuanghua stared coldly at Lan Linxue, still not moving: "If you do this, Qin Kou'er will explode! Are you sure you can appease her?"
"Mind your own business!"
Lan Linxue couldn't take it anymore and threw the fan in her hand directly at Shuanghua. Shuanghua dodged and caught the fan.
"Get to work right now! Say one more word and I'll send you to Lingnan, where you'll never get a bath!"
Shuanghua immediately frowned. This curse was really too cruel! It wasn't that she couldn't go to Lingnan, but not taking a bath was just unbearable.
Glaring at Lan Linxue with annoyance, Shuanghua walked over angrily and shoved the fan into Lan Linxue's arms. "If you don't eat again, I'll force-feed you! Humph, just wait and see how Qin Kou'er deals with you later!"
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Lan Linxue stared blankly at Shuanghua's back, so angry that she pointed directly at Shuanghua's back with her fan, but she couldn't say a word.
Only after Shuanghua had disappeared from sight did Lan Linxue finally catch her breath and grit her teeth fiercely, saying, "One day I will deal with all of you monsters!"
But right now, the most crucial thing is still Lan Xiuyuan.
Perhaps Qin Kou'er didn't yet understand the significance of Lan Xiuyuan's change in address, but Lan Linxue, who had been his rival since childhood, knew all too well that Lan Xiuyuan would never easily accept someone, and once he did, he would have a forceful possessiveness. Moreover, Qin Kou'er was not only exceptionally beautiful, but more importantly, she had an astonishing amount of money.
If even he, who has never had a strong desire for money, is a little envious of her mountains of gold and silver, let alone Lan Xiuyuan, that treacherous villain who loves money more than life.
Therefore, Lan Linxue was determined not to let Lan Xiuyuan and Qin Kou'er get too close under any circumstances. Raising a tiger to one's own detriment was absolutely not something Lan Linxue would do.
Lan Xiuyuan was completely unaware that a pair of jealous and hateful eyes were watching him intently from behind.
After briefly discussing matters with Qin Kou'er, he got into his car and left. Unlike Lan Linxue, he needed to meet with officials and gentry in Jiangnan, an opportunity he would absolutely not miss.
However, he also made an appointment with Qin Kou'er that there would be a chess match tomorrow, and there were some things he would like to discuss with Qin Kou'er in detail then.
Qin Kou'er would certainly agree.
Although Lan Xiuyuan now outwardly considers her one of his own, he is certainly still wary of her. At least until he finds out her background, the two of them will have a long period of feigned compliance to go on.
After seeing Lan Xiuyuan off, Qin Kou'er thought for a moment and then called Jun Yannuo over, asking him to prepare some gifts.
Although Lan Xiuyuan appeared refined and elegant, Qin Kou'er knew deep down that he was not at all like his outward appearance. Even if Lan Linxue didn't speak ill of him to her, she knew from the annual tributes that Lan Xiuyuan's greed far exceeded Lan Linxue's. If she wanted to continue cooperating with Lan Xiuyuan, she had to use the money wisely.
Jun Yannuo nodded, "The gifts have been prepared long ago! I'll send a batch over after he meets with the master!"
Qin Kou'er nodded, her expression grave, and said, "The strategist beside him is definitely not to be underestimated. Go and pay him a visit when you have time! Understand?"
As he spoke, he gave Jun Yannuo a particularly meaningful look and said meaningfully, "We must be thorough and meticulous in our work, and not let anyone notice that we have too many loopholes!"
"Yes! Yan Nuo understands!" Jun Yan Nuo nodded, then gently approached Qin Kou'er and whispered, "Two groups of people have tried to get close to the Third Prince these past two nights, but they were all scared away by our spies. Pavilion Master, do you think we should let Lan Linxue know about this?"
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then slightly raised her hand, "Next time someone comes, let our people let them in. I believe Lan Linxue's people are also around, so he'll naturally know! We shouldn't get too involved in matters between the princes right now!"
Jun Yannuo nodded, then seemed to remember something and said to Qin Kou'er, "All our shops are open. Only the headquarters is still waiting for the Pavilion Master's orders."
Qin Kou'er nodded and said to Jun Yannuo as they walked, "Lan Xiuyuan said today that our taxes this year will be reduced by half. Now that someone is paying for us, let's find an auspicious time in the next day or two to reopen! We need to make it a grand affair, and we can't skimp on any of the proper etiquette. We need to invite both Lan Linxue and Lan Xiuyuan. We also need to invite all the prominent figures from Jiangnan."
Jun Yannuo smiled slightly, bowing his head. "With the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince here, these wealthy families from Jiangnan will probably be knocking down our door! I'm still wondering if we should charge some money for our invitations."
Qin Kou'er burst out laughing, pointed at Jun Yannuo, and said with a smile, "You never learn anything good! You just learn from those petty people who are calculating every penny! People who know you think you're a wealthy and powerful leader, but those who don't will say you're obsessed with money and that Qin Tian Pavilion is full of bloodsuckers who will kill for money! I think the richer you are, the more you calculate! Humph, stingy head steward!"
