With that, Lan Linxue leisurely walked off to find Lan Jiayuan with her hands behind her back.
Frostflower stood on the ground in a daze for a while, then sighed helplessly and walked away dejectedly.
After breaking up with Lan Linxue, Qin Kou'er thought about it for a while and then went directly to her headquarters.
Because it was burned down last time, and this time it has just been rebuilt, the plaque has not yet been unveiled.
Qin Kou'er had made up her mind. Although Lan Linxue had burned down her headquarters, the more important thing was that he was a penniless wretch with not a single coin to his name. However, ultimately, it was these princes and grandsons who had caused the trouble, and she had to get that money back from them.
Therefore, Qin Kou'er is preparing to hold a grand unveiling ceremony, and she will bring Lan Linxue and Lan Xiuyuan to support her!
She refused to believe that with these two people backing them up, the wealthy families in Jiangnan would dare not spend some money to celebrate.
Even a political figure like Jiang Ming would have to show his appreciation.
With their money, this deal wouldn't be a bad one after all.
More importantly, once these wealthy merchants in Jiangnan learned of her background, doing business with her became incredibly easy.
With the support of the Crown Prince and other princes in the court, it would be impossible for Qin Kou'er not to make money.
With this idea in mind, Qin Kou'er leisurely walked in.
As expected, Jun Yannuo is very capable. Now, this grandeur finally gives it the air of the future Crown Princess's family.
Qin Kou'er looked around and felt very satisfied.
Finally, he went to his study and, as expected, saw Jun Yannuo with his head down, handling some business.
Meanwhile, Meiyan was looking at the ledger while stealing glances at the man who looked like an ink painting.
"Ahem," Qin Kou'er coughed twice on purpose before going inside.
Upon seeing Qin Kou'er, Jun Yannuo smiled, put down his pen, and stood up, saying, "What brings you here? Didn't those two gentlemen cause you any trouble?"
Qin Kou'er walked over with a smile and said, "They don't need me to be with them all the time! I came to check on them today since I'm free."
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er walked to the main seat and sat down. Jun Yannuo quickly poured her a cup of tea.
Meiyan, on the other hand, was still working on the accounts with her head down.
Qin Kou'er picked up the teacup, gently stirred it, and then secretly glanced at Mei Yan, who was pricking up her ears to listen to the news from this side, and couldn't help but smile softly.
Meiyan wanted to be tied to Jun Yannuo's side all day long. If it weren't for Yannuo's insistence, she would have driven this girl, who was in Cao Ying but whose heart was in Han, away!
Qin Kou'er glanced at the tea leaves floating in the teacup and said softly, "Yan Nuo, I have something to talk to you about!"
Jun Yannuo nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Meiyan. The meaning was clear: You are not welcome here; you can confidently leave.
Mei Yan suddenly raised her head, glared at Qin Kou'er with annoyance, and then looked at Jun Yan Nuo. She stood up abruptly, grabbed a pile of account books from the table, and stormed out.
She dared to stake her entire year's salary; Qin Kou'er did it on purpose.
As Qin Kou'er watched Mei Yan's stubborn back, her smile grew even more alluring.
"Yan Nuo, I think Mei Yan is a really good girl. She's beautiful and has an amazing memory. Most importantly, she's deeply in love with you. I think you should just take her in!"
Jun Yannuo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qin Kou'er indifferently, his expression cold. He walked to the chair next to Qin Kou'er and sat down, saying calmly, "You came to me just to talk about this?"
Qin Kou'er glanced at An Junyan Nuo, then pointed at him reproachfully and said, "You're so stubborn! Do you know how many people are lining up outside, holding lanterns, waiting to marry Miss Meiyan!"
"Let them marry then! What does it have to do with me!"
Jun Yannuo's face grew even colder. He casually picked up a book from the side, clearly losing all patience for the discussion.
Qin Kou'er looked at Jun Yannuo, a little annoyed, and pointed at him, saying, "You men are all like this! When you encounter a topic you don't want to talk about, you pretend to be reading a book, acting all high and mighty. Do you really think you're so great?! You're like this, and Lan Xiuyuan is even more so. Look at the way she looks at those courtesans. She seems gentle and refined on the surface, but in reality, she wants to crush them with her eyes. And Lan Linxue is another story; she actually called her an ugly monster! Are you all so good-looking? Humph!"
Upon hearing Qin Kou'er's words, Jun Yannuo raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, "Looks like you're really free today!"
Qin Kou'er pursed her lips. "I do want to rest for a bit! But I do have something to ask you!"
"Which matter?"
"What do you think is the best way for us to deal with Zhao Ling'er?"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er looked at Jun Yannuo with a very serious expression.
"We'll handle this? She poisoned the Third Prince; do you think we have any say in something this serious?"
Jun Yannuo looked at Qin Kou'er with some confusion, and then put the book back in his hand.
Qin Kou'er shook her finger. "You're wrong! I've thought about it. It's a bit of a pity that a woman like Zhao Ling'er died! Some people are valuable when they die, but some people are more useful when they're alive! Like Zhao Ling'er!"
"How so?"
Qin Kou'er nodded. "Think about it, Zhao Ling'er is the most beautiful courtesan on the Qinhuai River. She's proficient in music, calligraphy, painting, and chess. Moreover, over the years, she's been with Shi Mengjian and is very savvy about the ways of officialdom, and she knows how to socialize. Otherwise, why would those old men be willing to spend so much money just to see her? A woman, especially one of lowly status, with such skills, I believe she must have a reason to survive!"
