Twister

"Uncle Li, we finally found an eyewitness. He saw with his own eyes that the person who took Miss Lanqin away was a noble young man with outstanding looks. You are right, Miss Lan is not dead!" Li Shun's men got Report back immediately after the message.

"Really? Have you found out the identity of that person?" Li Shun was overjoyed.

"I have asked Xiaosan to investigate, and there should be results soon. The man also saw that noble young master taking Miss Lan to dinner at the Juxian Inn in our city. The man is handsome and the woman has a clear goal." He said. Said triumphantly, he didn't notice Li Shun's livid face at all.

"A handsome man and a pretty woman?! Is that man as handsome as I am?!" He stared in shock.

The subordinate was so frightened that he immediately changed his words, "He...of course he is not as good as Uncle Li, and he is still far behind you!"

"Hmph! See the wind and turn the rudder."

Li Shun spat secretly, and sat back on the chair again, at this time a subordinate named Xiaosan also entered the hall to report.

"Master Li, my subordinates have news to report back." Xiaosan said.

Li Shun excitedly asked: "Which desperate guy took Lan Qin away? I'll kill him right now and teach him a lesson."

"Li...Uncle Li, this is not good!" Xiaosan seemed a little worried.

"What's the matter?" Li Shun raised his voice impatiently.

"That son is not an ordinary person, but... but..." Xiaosan stammered, unable to speak.

"Say it quickly! If you hesitate again, I'll cut off your tongue!" Li Shun glared angrily, causing Xiao San to immediately kneel down in fright.

"Uncle Li, that man is Lord Shuo of Prince Shuoyu's Mansion in the capital!" He finished in one breath.

"My lord..." Li Shun raised his eyebrows, "I heard that there are not many things in the capital, but there are so many county kings, who is he?"

With a look of disdain, he directly taught Xiao San how to interface.

"He is not an ordinary prince, but the emperor's cousin." He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Li Shun.

"Oh!"

Only then did Li Shun raise his face and think carefully, "That's just right, since you have such a noble status, you won't rob me of women, right?"

"This..." He was so whimsical!

"Besides, as long as I tell him about the "great achievements" of that woman in Hangzhou, he will definitely throw her back to me like trash." Thinking of this, Li Shun laughed even more wildly. up.

"Uncle Li, you may not know, but that Lord Shuo knows the details of Miss Lan, and also knows that she was married." Xiaosan had to remind him.

"If that's the case, why is he arguing with me?" He growled unconvinced.

"Uncle Li, I think... forget it!"

"Forget it? What do you mean?"

"A woman! Why do you..."

"Shut up! How dare you lecture me?!" Li Shun shouted suddenly, making Xiao San tremble with fright.

"The little ones don't dare." The third son took a quick step back and said with a bow.

"squeak!"

Li Shun frowned, "Do you know the weakness of Lord Shuo? My uncle used to be a minister respected by everyone, how could he be afraid of a prince?"

"Ah? Uncle Li, do you really want to go to Lord Shuo?" Just thinking about the disaster that is about to happen, Xiao San's legs tremble.

"Are you saying it or not?" Li Shun growled impatiently.

"Uh...weakness...not really..." Xiao San tried hard to think about it.

"No? Is he really that godlike?" Li Shun sneered coldly. He knew the bad nature of men best. Which man doesn't love meat?

"I really can't figure it out..." Xiaosan scratched her head.

"You're really an ass, isn't he not good at women? Since he dared to take the risk of being restrained, he insisted on bringing Lan Qin by his side. Could it be that he was deceived by her beauty?"

"Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of something." Xiao San's eyes lit up.

"tell me the story."

"According to a small survey, that Lord Shuo didn't care much about female sex at first, but since Miss Lan entered the mansion, for some reason, he suddenly invited several beautiful girls to live in Prince Shuo's mansion." Xiaosan explained these findings Fifty-one out of ten.

"Oh? Since there is a weakness, it's easy to handle." Li Shun's eyes flashed.

"You want to..."

"You have to think about it slowly. Alright, you go down first." He smiled, sent Ah San away, and planned a plan to take back Lanqin in his mind.

??

Lanqin came to the "Plum Garden". Because it is the autumnal equinox, the plum branches have not yet bloomed, but the clusters of plum branches still give people a fresh and cool feeling.

The scenery here is beautiful enough, she doesn't understand why Shuo Aoshu wants her to come here?

She doesn't know how to make landscaping, and she is even an amateur in arranging flowers and branches. In the end, she finally understood... His purpose is just to make her chew her heartache again and again.

Whenever she went to various courtyards, she would always meet Shuo Aoshu, and he would always walk towards the attic where the girls lived with a blank expression in front of her.

Although she couldn't see or hear him, just imagining him making love with other girls made her heart ache.

"Huh? Why are you still here? You can leave after tidying up."

Lin Wan'er, who lived in the plum garden, walked behind Lan Qin at some point. Lan Qin let go of her hand in fright, and the potted rose in her hand fell to the ground——

"What is this?" Lin Wan'er pointed to the scattered roses and fragments of flower pots.

"Well... this is a rose potted plant. I think the plum blossoms in the plum garden haven't bloomed yet, so I asked Uncle Liu to send some pots to decorate the plum garden."

Lan Qin tried her best to stabilize her stalled heartbeat, and replied politely.

"What? You actually used such tacky red roses to decorate my plum garden?" Lin Wan'er sneered.

"Are red roses tacky?"

Lan Qin raised her eyebrows, looked at the roses scattered all over the ground, and whispered, "I think it's beautiful!"

"Why not vulgar? Red Rose is just like you. She looks pretty on the outside, but she is actually a ruthless woman who can stab people." Lin Wan'er said disdainfully.

"Ah?" Lan Qin raised her eyes in astonishment.

Lin Wan'er's words completely broke her heart, as if she was laid out naked under the sun, being seen clearly by others.

What Lin Wan'er said was correct, she was just a woman with a gram.

"Look at you, am I right?" Lin Wan'er raised a smile and gave her a malicious look.

Facing her derogatory remarks, Lan Qin just stood aside without saying a word.Lin Wan'er was right, so what qualifications does she have to argue?

"Why don't you talk anymore? You are always so lifeless, no wonder you are annoying. No matter how sexy a man meets a woman like you, he will be discouraged and lose his energy." Her cold eyes He stared straight at Lan Qin, but his beautiful face was filled with a lot of domineering like Shuo Aoshu.

"I'm sorry to bother you, I will clean up here as soon as possible, and never step into the plum garden again." Lan Qin said expressionlessly.

She immediately squatted down to clean up the debris on the ground, one of her fingers was accidentally scratched by the sharp debris!

"Ah—" She let out a low cry, looking at the bleeding index finger, she quickly wrapped her sleeve around it, endured the pain, and continued to pick up the debris on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

This is what Shuo Aoshu saw when he entered the plum garden.

"Ao Shu, you're here! Where's the thing I want you to buy for me?" Lin Wan'er immediately embraced Shuo Ao Shu happily when she saw it was Shuo Ao Shu. .

"here."

Lin Wan'er took the thing wrapped in the red scarf from Shuo Aoshu's hand, and deliberately opened it in front of Lan Qin's face—it was an emerald hairpin inlaid with fine pearls!

"It's so beautiful! It must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

Lin Wan'er pretended to say that, and deliberately put her head on her head, and said to him: "Put it in for me, and see if I'm pretty?"

Shuo Aoshu did not refuse, he took the hairpin, gently inserted it into her black hair, and then said admiringly: "Mmm! This hairpin is very suitable for you, it fully brings out your beauty, and it is not in vain. So much time to choose."

Lan Qin was listening, feeling her chest was full of sour gas, her legs were trembling so much that she almost couldn't stand up!She quickly picked up the things on the ground, ignoring the pain in her fingers, and planned to leave immediately.

When she got up and wanted to leave, Shuo Aoshu's deep and cold voice drifted into her ears again, calling to stop her leaving footsteps, "Have you finished the work here? How can you leave as soon as you say so?"

"My lord, I... I really don't know how to do this kind of work, I'd better quit first." She held back her tears and the deep sourness in her heart, and said submissively.

She only hoped that Shuo Aoshu would let her go and stop embarrassing her...

"What do you mean by that? When did I say I'm dissatisfied? Don't be so talkative, I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic!"

Lin Wan'er yelled loudly, and rushed in front of her, bossing her and said: "Aside from acting, what else can you do? Shameless, you put on a cute and pitiful look when you see the prince ignores you." , it's disgusting!"

"I do not--"

Lan Qin turned around, and was about to defend herself, but when she looked into Shuo Aoshu's cold eyes, all the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't even vomit.

"What's wrong with your hands?" He stared straight at her fingers gripping her sleeves tightly, and he could see the faint blood stains on the sleeves.

"I...it's nothing, this injury is fine." She immediately moved her hand behind her.

"Let me see."

He took a step forward, but Lan Qin hurriedly took a step back, as if they were two magnets with the same polarity.

Shuo Aoshu hated this feeling. "Don't worry, I don't have any intentions for you, I just want to see your injuries. Since you are currently in the palace, any mistakes are my responsibility, I just want to reassure you."

Shuo Aoshu pretended to be indifferent and said that Lan Qin was being stimulated by that indifferent expression, but wasn't she asking for all this?She no longer has the ability or the position to say anything else.

"Thank you Lord Shuo for your concern. Lan Qin will never die in the palace and bring you bad luck."

She held back the astringency in her chest, responded casually, turned around and ran, even though Lin Wan'er's angry scolding came from behind her from time to time, she couldn't stop her footsteps!

At this moment, all she wants is to escape... as far away as possible...

However, unexpectedly, because she was running too fast, she tripped over a rock on the ground and jumped forward——

Just like that, she threw herself into Shuo Aoshu's arms.

"Ah - Lord Shuo..."

She was startled at first, then pushed him away subconsciously, and said hastily: "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean it, I—"

"Enough, since you are so afraid of me, why do you want to run away?" His face was as hard as black iron, and he held her slender waist tightly.

"I didn't. I just thought there was no need to stay." Lan Qin lowered her face, not daring to look into his cold eyes.

"Really? You've always been so 'self-aware'?"

Shuo Aoshu sneered suddenly, and stared straight at her horrified face with indifferent black eyes, "In this case, you should understand your identity, and you shouldn't just leave without saying anything, just do something against me."

"Lan Qin dare not."

Looking at his indignant appearance, her beautiful eyelashes trembled even more.

"Hmph! How dare you!" He laughed lowly, "A duplicity woman."

"My lord—" She took a step back in shock.

He suddenly raised her slender jaw, "I haven't seen you in the past month, you seem to have lost some weight?"

Shuo Ao was smiling, and seemed to be asking casually, which made Lan Qin's chest tighten, but he didn't know his intention...

"Say! Miss me?" His narrow, sharp black eyes stared straight at her red lips that had been lingering with him.

Hearing this, Lan Qin's blood was drained from her body in an instant, she wobbled a few steps weakly, and was speechless in an instant...

"My lord, it's time for me to go back to Lanli." She deliberately avoided.

Shuo Aoshu narrowed his gaze, but did not relax his hands, "You never thought about me? Not at all?"

"Little girl is not qualified." She turned her face away with tears in her eyes.

"You—" he suffocated, and said cruelly: "If I were Yang Shao, wouldn't you rush into my arms impatiently?"

"Why did you mention him again?" Her heart sank with cold.

"Because you can't forget him, and he never forgets you." Shuo Aoshu's eyes were filled with black storms, as if they were about to sweep her soul.

That frightening and oppressive aura made her close her eyes at a loss, so as to avoid his gloomy and displeased cold handsome face.

"I have no intention of answering if I want to blame you." Lan Qin finally said softly, and turned around to leave.

"So, there is no such thing at all, and you have nothing to do with the Yang family?" He frowned, and sneered lightly on his thin lips.

"I...you can say whatever you want!"

As soon as she took a step, she heard him say again: "Mrs. Yang is here and is waiting for you in the front hall. If there is nothing wrong, I will send someone to send her away."

Lan Qin stopped, turned around quickly, and asked excitedly, "What did you say? Mrs. Yang is here! Did she come to see me?"

"Look at you happy, have you revealed your true colors?" He snorted coldly.

"I...I want to see Mrs. Yang..." Although she knew that saying this would make him laugh, she really wanted to meet her benefactor.

"What if I say that Yang Shao is here too?" He raised a sword eyebrow, intending to test.

"what?"

Lan Qin's small face turned pale in an instant, but in his eyes, it looked like a cunning villain, so the expression on his face became even more terrifying.

At this time, Lin Wan'er also came over and grabbed Shuo Aoshu's arm, "Aoshu, why are you chasing after this unlucky woman and leaving her there alone?"

He looked at her, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips mysteriously. In the next second, he sealed Lin Wan'er's pink lips tightly with his eager lips and tongue. Lan Qin's face.

He suddenly raised his head, and said charmingly to Wan'er: "Then go to your room, okay?"

"En! Of course." Wan'er smiled coquettishly, clinging to him, and the two cuddled away.

It wasn't until the two of them disappeared in front of Lan Qin's eyes that she suddenly woke up, wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, turned around and walked straight to the front hall.

??

"Mrs. Yang..."

As soon as Lan Qin entered the front hall, she saw Mrs. Yang sitting on a chair waiting for her, while Xiao Yuan was squatting on the ground playing with something.

"Big sister!" Xiao Yuan was the first to spot Lan Qin, and immediately ran to her, "Big sister, when I heard that you were arrested by the prince of this mansion, I almost died of anxiety."

"Thank you, Xiao Yuan, I'm fine."

Lan Qin lightly rubbed his little head, then walked towards Mrs. Yang, "I'm so sorry to make you worry about me."

She looked around unobtrusively, and when she was sure that Shuo Aoshu had lied to her and Yang Shao didn't come at all, she was greatly relieved.

"It's good that you're fine, otherwise Yang Jun and I will go crazy... Also, because Yang Shao misses you all day long, he's going to come too. I'm afraid he'll make trouble, so he's not allowed to follow."

Madam Yang showed a relieved smile, and suddenly she raised her eyebrows together, and her eyes dimmed as she looked at Lan Qin, "Are you really all right? But you seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

"Um……"

Lan Qin found a reason casually, and comforted her: "Because I know where I am, I can't sleep well at night, maybe it will be normal after a while."

"Really? If you're really not used to living here, ask that Lord Shuo to let you live with us. We also have good guest rooms, and we will never treat you badly." Madam Yang tried her best to persuade.

"I can't go," she whispered.

"Why?" Xiao Yuan asked first after hearing the words.

"Yeah! Although you and this Lord Shuo are old acquaintances, there is no reason why you can't leave. I heard from Yang Shao that when he took you away that day, his attitude was fierce and cruel. Did he say something to you? Or do you?" What?" Mrs. Yang asked eagerly.

"No... Madam Yang, you are worrying too much."

Lan Qin was taken aback, and she was even more afraid that something might be revealed by her expression, which was so easy to guess?

"That's good." Although Mrs. Yang didn't quite believe it, she didn't plan to ask any more. "By the way, if you don't mind, you can call me Mrs. Yang in the future. It's also kinder."

"Thank you, Mrs. Yang..." Lan Qin said gratefully.

"Big sister, are you really not going back with us?"

Xiao Yuan pursed her mouth, held on to Lan Qin's skirt in disbelief, and said angrily, "I really want to eat the little snacks you made!"

Madam Yang pinched his cheek, "You only know how to eat."

"Mother, don't say that, how could Big Sister go back with us! You saw it too, just now that Prince Shuo saw us as enemies, as if he was afraid that we would snatch Big Sister away, if we don't work harder Son, how can you defeat him?"

Xiao Yuan said honestly that he has always been proud of his keen observation skills, and believes that what he thinks must be right, just like he can see that his uncle likes his eldest sister very much.

"After you mentioned it, I feel the same way... Oh! I'm so stupid. Lord Shuo and Miss Lan are a couple. When I saw her and Yang Shao together on the street, I was naturally jealous and my face was not good. It's just ugly!"

Mrs. Yang said with a smile, she still did not forget to tease Lan Qin, "When will you treat us to a wedding wine? Don't deliberately hide it from us!"

"Sister Yang, what do you mean?" Lan Qin asked puzzled.

"You are the future concubine of Prince Shuo's mansion. I can't be so rude in the future." Mrs. Yang became more serious as she spoke, leaving Lan Qin at a loss for words.

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing." She was in a hurry.

"You're welcome. If you really want to have a wedding, don't forget to let me know. I will give you a piece of fine embroidered cloth as a wedding dress."

Mrs. Yang was already thinking about what kind of gift she should give.

"Mother, do you mean that big sister is going to be a bride?" Xiao Yuan suddenly shouted, "It's over! It's not good now."

"What nonsense are you kidding, Miss Lan is going to become a princess, that's really a gratifying thing." Mrs. Yang knocked her precious son on the head.

"What about the uncle? Wouldn't he be unable to marry the eldest sister?" Xiao Yuan thought of his uncle wholeheartedly.

"Then I can only blame Yang Shao for not having that fate." Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang couldn't help sighing, "But Miss Yilan's appearance and temperament make her the most suitable princess."

"Oh! Then I will go back and comfort uncle well."

"Sister Yang—"

Lan Qin, who couldn't explain why, was about to cry, but who would tell her what she should do?But she couldn't tell them the helplessness and distress in her heart, and her fear became darker and darker. In the end, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and let her worries settle in her heart.
