Upon hearing Feng Zhouyuan's words, Lan Linxue couldn't help but frown slightly, her brows revealing her obvious impatience.
Not only Feng Zhouyuan said this, but his mother and even his maternal grandfather all said it!
He knew, of course, what it meant to marry a woman from a prominent family, but whenever he put the words "Qin Kou'er" and "woman from a prominent family" together in his mind, he would immediately dismiss the rest without hesitation.
Qin Kou'er was not from a prestigious family, but she was capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of her wrist.
She could kick down his door, stare at him, and negotiate with him.
She could jump into the raging river with him without hesitation in the face of wind and rain, and she never let go of him, sharing life and death together.
She can destroy the world with a single laugh on the chessboard.
Lan Xiuyuan knew that she possessed skills that those daughters of noble families did not.
Even if they talk the talk, they would never walk the walk!
Even if she could do it, she wouldn't do it just for him.
If we look at it this way, perhaps the only woman in the world who is truly worthy of him and can truly fly wing to wing with him is that woman named Qin Kou'er.
Lan Linxue must have known this very well, otherwise, why would she have been so frantic and wanted to kick Kou'er to death the moment she found him?
It was common for the brothers to fight to the death for the throne, and it was even more common for them to shake hands in person and stab each other in the back.
However, they all maintained a certain tacit understanding: no matter what, in front of the world, they were all surnamed Lan, and they had to maintain the last bit of dignity and rationality for the sake of their surname!
However, Lan Linxue broke the rules this time. He charged at him like a madman, as if charging at the last enemy on the battlefield.
If they weren't truly desperate, why would they act so frantically and dangerously?
Thinking of Lan Linxue's appearance back then, Lan Xiuyuan gritted his teeth.
Why was he so jealous?
She was jealous that he could so brazenly snatch Qin Kou'er from his arms, and jealous that he could disregard everything and act crazy in front of the world just for this one woman.
Why does he have to act like a puppet, a masked figure? Even when he wants to cry, he smiles calmly and composedly? Even when he's so angry he wants to go crazy, he still calmly and magnanimously shows tolerance?
Is it really worth it to do all this for a throne that doesn't belong to him?
Lan Xiuyuan looked up and smiled bitterly. There was no answer to this question, nor was it a question he should ask.
His life was completely predetermined from birth; he had no choice but to leave!
However, Qin Kou'er! Qin Kou'er is his own secret! He absolutely forbids anyone from touching her, much less from destroying her! Not even his maternal grandfather, Hu Tianyong.
Anyone who touches this will die!
He would never easily give Qin Kou'er to Lan Linxue; even if it meant death, he would fight for it.
Feng Zhouyuan noticed that Lan Xiuyuan hadn't said anything for a long time after he finished speaking, so he looked up at him slightly.
But they noticed that Lan Xiuyuan's expression was subtly changing, and they couldn't tell what he was thinking.
With a sigh, Feng Zhouyuan knew that he had truly met his match this time. Lan Xiuyuan's interest in Qin Kou'er was no longer as simple as just being interested in her!
The word "love" can ruin a lifetime!
Both of them were lost in their own thoughts and didn't say a word.
The incense smoke rose gently from the room, making everything so quiet and peaceful.
Lan Xiuyuan closed his eyes at some point, having drifted off to sleep. He wondered if that troublesome woman would reappear in his dreams.
Seeing that Lan Linxue was breathing evenly and seemed to be fast asleep, Feng Zhou stood up and planned to quietly walk out.
Just then, the chief eunuch rushed in from outside.
Feng Zhouyuan immediately frowned, waved to the eunuch first, signaled to Lan Xiuyuan, and then walked out with him.
"What's up?"
Feng Zhouyuan came out, pulled the eunuch into the courtyard, and asked in a low voice.
"Oh dear, Mr. Feng, the Crown Prince's men have already set our mansion on fire! They're starting to burn things down!"
The eunuch spoke hastily and sharply. Thinking of the Crown Prince's chilling face, he regretted running away with Lan Xiuyuan this time.
Feng Zhouyuan frowned, said nothing, and strode out first.
Lan Linxue leaned back in her armchair, sipping her tea from a purple clay teapot while lazily gazing at the frost flowers arranged in front of her.
Someone was holding an umbrella behind him, and someone was holding fruit beside him; he looked incredibly relaxed and content.
"Make sure there are more doors at the main entrance!"
Lan Linxue was drinking tea while still giving instructions, afraid that someone might run out from inside.
Soon, Shuanghua finished directing everyone and returned to report to Lan Linxue: "Your Highness! Everything has been arranged!"
Lan Linxue nodded, then took the fan from the servant and said lazily and wickedly, "Move my chair back, so that when the smoke rises later, it won't bother this Crown Prince!"
Shuanghua was completely helpless against Lan Linxue's stubbornness, so she immediately raised her hand and moved Lan Linxue's chair back again.
Then five more people stood behind him fanning the air, just in case the smoke choked the prince.
"good!"
Lan Linxue nodded, indicating that she was very satisfied.
Glancing sideways, Lan Linxue turned to Jiang Ming, who was already sweating profusely, and said, "Lord Jiang, please move forward a bit. How can I exorcise the evil spirit if you're standing so far back?"
Jiang Ming was truly on the verge of tears. As the Governor-General of Liangjiang, a first-rank official in the imperial court, he was utterly worthless in the eyes of this Crown Prince.
