At this point, Meiyan, still afraid of infuriating Lan Linxue, leisurely said, "I think that Fifth Prince is really quite good! He's gentle and polite, and incomparably handsome! I've also heard he's very learned. Such a person would be a suitable son-in-law for our Qin Tian Pavilion! As for the others, they all look like toads trying to eat swan meat!"
Lan Linxue was so angry that he raised his hand to hit someone, but in a glance, he found Qin Kou'er looking at him coldly.
Frustrated, Lan Linxue lowered her hand and pointed fiercely at Meiyan: "I curse you to never get married! Even if you do, that person will never like you! I'll make you suffer every day, be abused every day!"
"you--"
"American cigarettes!"
Qin Kou'er really couldn't stand these two anymore.
"Meiyan, go find Yan Nuo right now. There have been some changes in our accounts these past few days. We haven't checked the accounts even once since we got the Treasure Basin back. You need to take people over there to take possession and check them. Instead of doing something productive, why are you gossiping here!"
Seeing that Qin Kou'er was genuinely angry, Mei Yan glared at Lan Linxue with annoyance, then suddenly made a face, turned around, and stormed off.
Lan Linxue felt a sense of great victory as soon as Mei Yan left.
He walked up to Qin Kou'er, wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her into his embrace, saying with a smug smile, "Come on! Cousin, let your cousin give you a kiss!"
Qin Kou'er swung her arm and struck Lan Linxue directly in the ribs.
Lan Linxue doubled over in pain.
"Lan Linxue, have you become just like those playboys outside? All you do all day is act shamelessly and despicably!"
"I didn't!"
Lan Linxue grimaced in pain as she looked up at Qin Kou'er and asked, "Are you planning to murder your husband and then go out and become a flirtatious young widow?"
Qin Kou'er's face turned cold.
Lan Linxue quickly shut her mouth, then smiled and slowly moved closer to Qin Kou'er.
"Look, you're really angry? I've been keeping Lan Xiuyuan out of the way, who knows if he'll suddenly get the idea to do something bad to you just because I like you!"
"Would he do that?" Qin Kou'er asked coldly.
Lan Linxue nodded immediately and said very seriously, "He really would do that! Let me tell you, when we were little, anything I liked, he would find a way to take away! Even if he couldn't get it, he would definitely break it! Anyway, he's my nemesis from a past life, and he absolutely won't let me have my way!"
After Lan Linxue finished speaking, he blinked his eyes, trying his best to make them bright and clear, so that Qin Kou'er would not notice that he was exaggerating.
Actually, this only happened once.
Lan Xiuyuan saw someone give Lan Linxue a small white jade horse, which he liked very much, so he wanted to borrow it to play with. Lan Linxue wasn't there at the time, and the servants below made some sarcastic remarks. As a result, Lan Xiuyuan was still young, and in a fit of temper, he smashed the horse to pieces.
The two brothers had a major falling out over this small matter, and with the instigation of the concubines in the harem and the servants below, the conflict escalated. In the end, it was Lan Shanyang who stepped in and reprimanded the servants, finally calming things down.
But in Lan Xiuyuan's young heart, an indelible thought had already taken root: everything in this world belongs to Lan Linxue; if he doesn't want it, no one else should have the right to take it. Because he is the Crown Prince.
Therefore, Lan Xiuyuan made up his mind at a very young age that he would definitely snatch the position of Crown Prince from Lan Linxue.
Gradually, Lan Xiuyuan became more and more preoccupied and hid himself more and more deeply. Even if he hated Lan Linxue to the core, he would never lose face, let alone allow anyone to find a handle to damage Lan Linxue's things.
Lan Linxue's words completely shattered any remaining good impression Qin Kou'er had of Lan Xiuyuan.
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue for a long time before glaring at him.
"Am I an object? Can he just take it from me like that?"
You are more important than anything else!
Seeing that Qin Kou'er seemed to believe her words, Lan Linxue quickly went over and took her hand. "Let me tell you, Lan Xiuyuan will never make a move easily, but once he's hooked on you, he won't let go until the very end! I can't let him see how good you are to me now, what if he really falls for you?"
"You have so little confidence in yourself?" Qin Kou'er was a little angry again, glaring at Lan Linxue with annoyance.
Lan Linxue sighed deeply, a trace of sorrow on her face.
"What's the use of having so much confidence in myself! You've seen it yourself, even the maid beside you is blind, let alone others! Let me tell you, the fact that so many people speak well of Lan Xiuyuan is definitely not without reason! Compared to his pretense and manipulative tactics, I am no match for him!"
Qin Kou'er couldn't help but chuckle when she heard his nonsensical words.
"What kind of rubbish is that! But I just heard you call me cousin? What, you believe what I said?"
When Lan Linxue heard Qin Kou'er bring up this topic, she couldn't help but turn around and stare at her intently.
"Qin Kou'er, can you tell me your story?"
Qin Kou'er looked into Lan Linxue's deep eyes for a long time before turning her head away and shaking her head slightly.
"If you're still interested, go and look it up yourself! That's all I can say! Some things you won't believe unless you investigate them yourself!"
At this point, Qin Kou'er seemed to remember something, and a trace of sadness crossed her elegant face.
