Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, her eyes slowly brightening. She chuckled softly and tapped Qin Kou'er's forehead, "I knew it! You wouldn't hit your beloved subordinate for no reason!"
"This matter must be done!" Qin Kou'er took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I promised to send all the servants home within two days! So, we need to take down Lan Jiayuan as soon as possible!"
Lan Linxue nodded. "I believe you! Let's do it this way! I support you!"
At this point, Lan Linxue leaned down in front of Qin Kou'er with a cheeky grin and asked, "So what are you going to do today? Let's go listen to Kunqu Opera! We've been in Yangzhou for so long, I haven't really explored it yet! I'm so tired of spending every day with them!"
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then said with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "How about this, if we want to go shopping, that's fine too! Why don't we go shopping right under Yan Nuo's nose? We can also give Hu Feifan a little scare while we're at it. That way, we'll achieve twice the result with half the effort. Plus, we'll have some fun too. What do you think?"
Lan Linxue's face fell, and she said with little interest, "Not good! It's not a nice place either, and we still want them to be hanging around right under our noses!"
Qin Kou'er thought it was a great idea and immediately pulled Lan Lanlinxue up, "It's settled then! Let's go shopping!"
Lan Linxue sighed helplessly, stood up, and had no choice but to go shopping with Qin Kou'er!
Jun Yannuo sat alone in a private room on the second floor of the cyclamen restaurant, his face gloomy, drinking heavily.
There was no one around, so it was clear that he had booked the entire second floor.
Several wine jugs had already been overturned around him, indicating that he had drunk quite a bit.
The news that Chief Steward Jun was in a bad mood and was drinking alone early in the morning spread like wildfire, reaching every street and alley in Yangzhou in an instant.
Those with better connections said it was related to the Crown Prince.
Although Jun Yannuo was already quite drunk, his eyes remained bright as he watched everything around him.
Not far from Cyclamen was Lan Xiuyuan's residence. He believed that if Hu Feifan was in the mansion, he would soon take the bait and come to him.
His calculations were correct. As he was taking the tenth jug of wine to his mouth, a slender, fair hand grasped his jug.
"Drunkenness is bad for your health! Yan Nuo, you shouldn't do this!"
His voice was deep and pleasant. As soon as Jun Yannuo looked up, he saw Hu Feifan's concerned eyes.
With hazy eyes and a faint smile that was half sorrow and half indulgence, Jun Yannuo pushed Hu Feifan's hand away.
"What does it matter if I'm injured! In her eyes, whether I'm alive or dead is none of her concern!"
As he spoke, Jun Yan Nuo tilted his head back and took another big gulp of wine.
Hu Feifan frowned and forcibly snatched Jun Yannuo's wine pot away with concern.
"What happened? What made you like this?"
Hu Feifan sat next to Jun Yannuo, looking at the person in front of him, and seemed to hardly recognize him.
Jun Yannuo frowned deeply after his wine jug was snatched away, his eyes darting to the table as he reached for it again!
Hu Feifan shook his head, then threw all the wine jugs out the window.
"Alright! The wine is gone, now you can talk to me properly!"
"What are you doing?" Jun Yannuo angrily shoved Hu Feifan. "Do you also think you're my master? That you can order me around as you please!"
At this point, Jun Yannuo blushed slightly, looked at Hu Feifan with a mocking smile, and sneered: "Unfortunately, you and I are the same, you will never catch her eye! Right now, she only has Lan Linxue in her heart! Only him!"
Thinking of this, Jun Yannuo seemed to be in great pain and slammed his fist on the table.
Hu Feifan immediately knew that this must be because of Qin Kou'er.
"Is that Ke'er? What's wrong? What happened?"
"Kou'er! I must say, Young Master Hu, you address me so affectionately! I just wonder if your Kou'er would call you Feifan!"
Jun Yannuo's smile was both cold and cruel.
Pointing to her own cheek, Jun Yannuo laughed coldly and mockingly, counting off: "See? Your Kou'er is actually watching me get humiliated for that Crown Prince! Five years! I've followed her for five whole years! And this is what I get in return!"
At this point, Jun Yannuo swept all the food and wine on the table down in one swift motion.
Hu Feifan noticed that Jun Yannuo's face was slightly swollen from the side, and he knew that the news outside might be true. Jun Yannuo and Qin Kou'er had really fallen out over Lan Linxue.
However, Jun Yannuo was very emotional and couldn't come up with a reason for a long time.
So he stood up, grabbed Jun Yannuo's arm, and said, "Yannuo, come with me, let's go back to the manor and talk!"
"I'm not going!" Jun Yannuo waved his hand, causing Hu Feifan to stumble. "I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to wait here and see if Qin Kou'er will come looking for me? See if Qin Tiange still needs me as the head steward? See what I, Jun Yannuo—"
Before Jun Yannuo could finish speaking, his eyes immediately fixed on a certain spot outside, and his fingers stiffened, unable to fall.
Upon seeing this, Hu Feifan immediately turned around and looked outside.
Qin Kou'er was smiling radiantly as she showed the pearl hairpin in her hand to Lan Linxue, who was looking at her with doting eyes.
Lan Linxue seemed to think the beaded flower was very pretty, so she took it from Qin Kou'er and carefully put it in Qin Kou'er's hair.
Qin Kou'er's shy yet blissful and sweet demeanor was like the sharpest knife, piercing directly into the hearts of the two men upstairs, leaving them speechless with pain.
Qin Kou'er, adorned with pearl flowers, seemed even more beautiful. Sunlight fell upon her, draping her smile in a soft veil. She stood there, gazing tenderly at Lan Linxue, creating the most beautiful picture in the world.
