Seeing that Qin Meiying was upset again, Lan Shanyang quickly came over and hugged her, wiping away her tears while gently comforting her.
After a long while, Qin Meiying finally controlled her emotions, wiped away her tears, and looked up at Lan Shanyang: "Continue talking about Kou'er!"
After comforting Qin Meiying, Lan Shanyang sat down to pour himself a cup of tea and said, "This little girl is no ordinary person! Not only does her Qin Tian Pavilion have influence all over the country, but she is also the richest man in Jiangnan!"
Almost everything in Jiangnan is related to her, yet I can't figure out exactly what role she plays! Not only is she very close to that boy from the Hu family, but she also has unusual relationships with Xiu Yuan and Lin Xue! Especially Lin Xue, humph, she's so spineless, always fawning over him like a puppy!
Thinking of her son's fawning manner, Lan Shanyang was furious.
"So, according to you, Ke'er is quite powerful now, right?"
Lan Shanyang nodded. "Not only does she have power, but more importantly, she has money! After Lin Xue returned, I had people keeping an eye on things in Jiangnan. The news they sent back said that the people harmed by Lin Xue were not only properly taken care of, but they also all received silver! Qin Kou'er said in court today that Lan Lin Xue took it from those corrupt officials! Bullshit! The little bit of stuff Lan Lin Xue wanted wasn't even enough to feed the people, so where would she get the compensation? Therefore, this silver must be Qin Kou'er's!"
"Speaking of which," Lan Shanyang raised her hand to take a sip of water, then looked at Qin Meiying with a puzzled expression. "Eh? It's strange, isn't it? This Qin Kou'er looks to me like she's only in her teens, no more than twenty. But how did she accumulate such a huge influence in just a few years? And how did she become so wealthy? I've had people investigate, and her background is really very mysterious! Nobody knows where she came from or what her background is! Are people in your Qin family born knowing how to make money? This is truly baffling."
Qin Meiying looked at Lan Shanyang with a teasing expression: "What do you mean? Are you implying that you're also after that girl's money?"
Lan Shanyang immediately laughed, "Nonsense! Why would I care about that money! I have no use for it!"
Qin Meiying smiled slightly: "I think so too!"
"But don't you think it's really strange that a young girl could have so much money in just five years?"
Qin Meiying knew from Lan Shanyang's words that he was implying something, so she looked at the man in front of her quietly and asked softly, "What exactly do you want to say? Just say it."
Lan Shanyang's eyes flickered, then he said with a grin, "Mei'er, do you really think your Qin family only lost one person? I have a feeling it's a bit doubtful!"
Qin Meiying sighed softly, "Are you trying to say that I arranged this little girl?"
"Of course not! You've been in the palace all these years, how could it be you! But if you ask me to believe that this little girl could do something so big on her own, I simply cannot believe it!"
As he spoke, Lan Shanyang shook his head to himself.
"Who said I've been in the palace all these years?" Qin Meiying raised her eyes and looked quietly at the man opposite her. "I left the palace once!"
Lan Shanyang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He immediately stood up and asked, "When?"
Qin Meiying frowned slightly. "Why are you so nervous? I left shortly after the incident here, and then I came back!"
Lan Shanyang's eyes widened as she listened, pointing outside: "The situation was so dangerous back then, how did you manage to get out? What if you were found injured?"
Lan Shanyang started shouting as he finished speaking, his heart pounding.
Qin Meiying sighed softly, stood up, took Lan Shanyang's hand, and whispered, "I have to get out! The Qin family was completely massacred, and I must make arrangements for what happens next! Otherwise, the bloodshed of my Qin family will truly be silenced forever!"
"You went back to the Qin family?" Lan Shanyang was increasingly shocked as she listened.
This woman of his is truly earth-shattering when she gets going.
Qin Meiying shook her head slightly. "How could I go back to the Qin family! I believe that the Qin family members will not all die out, and they will definitely come back for revenge one day. So I want to hand over the last inheritance of the Qin family to this person! Although I don't know who the last survivor is, according to the clues I left behind, he will definitely find the Qin family's secret treasury and prepare for the resurgence of my Qin family!"
Lan Shanyang blinked, then said incredulously, "You, your Qin family actually has a treasury? Just how much money does your family have?!"
Qin Meiying gave Lan Shanyang a charming glare and said coquettishly, "Do you think everyone is like you, spending money on two things when you only have one? My Qin family ancestors knew long ago that this prosperous era would not last long and would inevitably decline one day, so they prepared for the worst. This money was meant to be kept in case my Qin family went bankrupt one day! I never expected it would end up being used to avenge my Qin family!"
Lan Shanyang felt he was receiving too much information, so he spun around on the ground a couple of times, thought for a moment, and then looked up and continued, "No! At that time, Qin Kou'er was just a little girl of a few years old. How could she have found your clues? These couldn't have been found by her! There must be someone else protecting the Qin family behind her. Who is that person?"
Qin Meiying glanced at Lan Shanyang indifferently, then turned around and sat down again. She picked up her teacup, gently stirred it, and said, "I don't know!"
"You don't know?" Lan Shanyang was taken aback. "How could you not know? If this person isn't someone you trust, how could you dare to throw away such a large sum of money? Who is it?"
