Qiu Shichang ignored the scrutiny of all the maids, he looked at Bai Lilan indifferently, and said lazily, "I don't know what Princess Chen's visit to Qiu Mansion is at night?" ”

"No matter what it is for, whoever comes is a guest, doesn't Lord Qiu invite guests in for a cup of tea?" Baili Lan looked at Qiu Shichang playfully, and the latter, under such a gaze, awkwardly turned his head away.

"Qiu just felt that it was late at night, and Princess Chen appeared here in Qiu, and she had a bad reputation with the princess."

"Huh, fame? If you really care about reputation, then you can completely apologize for self-harm, because when you were by my side and my little girl, you have been waiting by your side every night, who can say? ”

Baili Lan's taboo made Qiu Shichang unable to resist, lest she continue to say something rebellious, so he had to invite her into the mansion and serve tea.

When Qiu Ziyao heard that Baili Lan had talked about Qiu Mansion, she was as happy as a little swallow, and she ran to Bai Lilan's side with a red face, like an apple.

"Is my sister here to see Ziyao? Ziyao hasn't seen her sister for a long time! ”

Before he could get an answer, he was scolded by Qiu Shichang.

"Nonsense, what do you call Princess Chen! Although the emperor named you the lord of the county, you are not a relative of the emperor after all, and you must be distinguished by respect and inferiority! ”

Qiu Ziyao pursed her mouth aggrievedly and whispered, "But sister...... Princess Chen asked Ziyao to call it that. ”

"Then you have to remember who you are! The princess likes you and can call you sister, but what if she doesn't like you anymore? Do you want to bring shame on yourself? ”

Qiu Shichang's fierce words made Qiu Ziyao's eyes red aggrievedly. She couldn't understand how her brother, who had always been mild-mannered, could become like this. If it was someone else, it didn't matter if my brother said that, she didn't care at all. But this person is the county lord, he used to be so close, why do he say these words to hurt people?

Touching Qiu Ziyao's bun, Bai Lilan lowered her eyes and said comfortingly, "You go to Sister Chunfeng and them to play for a while, and when I finish talking to your brother, I'm looking for you, okay?" ”

Qiu Ziyao wiped her cheeks, and then left the main courtyard with the spring breeze that came over. Qiu Ziyao looked back as she walked, her eyes filled with deep unease.

"Those words just now, were they meant for Zi Yao, or for me?" There were only the two of them left in the room, and Bai Lilan put away her disguised smile and was full of coldness.

"It's for Ziyao, but it's also for myself." Only when there is no one else around, only by standing behind Baili Lan, can Qiu Shichang dare to reveal that full of love, which is so thick that it can't be dissolved.

"And what do you want to tell me by saying these words?" Bai Lilan turned around leisurely, saw the love in Qiu Shichang's eyes that had not yet had time to dissipate, and sneered, "I said that you want to erase the memories of the past and wash away the shame with blood, so I joined forces with Su Yihao!" ”

His eyes suddenly widened, and Qiu Shichang seemed to have no idea that Bai Lilan would know all this, and he looked a little at a loss.

And Bai Lilan seized this opportunity, pressed towards Qiu Shichang step by step, stared at his eyes with a good mistake, and his voice was cold and cruel, as if tearing through Qiu Shichang's last layer of survival clothes, "Why panic?" Isn't that what you want? Break off with me cleanly, so as to dispel Su Yihao's guard, as his staff. It's just Qiu Shichang, you are smart and confused for a while, what benefits can you get by following Su Yihao? He and Shu Yiling are originally the same branch, and the last person who can ascend to the position of the prince can only be Shu Yichen. Isn't the effort you are making now all a bamboo basket to draw water, and it is empty? ”

"Why Su Yichen!" After listening to Bai Lilan's words, Qiu Shichang calmed down, his eyes were full of perseverance, "Until the end, no one knows who the final winner is." Since you choose Su Yichen, then I will follow Su Yiling and see who the flowers end up with! ”

Qiu Shichang's attitude was very strange, which made Bai Lilan frown slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you so hostile to Shu Yichen?" It seems that the one who harmed your family is in the middle of the road, and it is a dream of Yiling. You are full of tolerance for your enemies, but you are looking for trouble for irrelevant people, which is really unusual for ordinary people! ”

Lowering his eyelashes lightly, Qiu Shichang whispered, "Because, I don't want to stand behind you, I can only stare at your back secretly." ”

With a raised eyebrow, Baili Lan looked at Qiu Shichang thoughtfully.

"Your status is noble, and your husband is a prince, so naturally you won't understand the suffering of ordinary people. I know that you are unattainable, but seeing that you are humiliated by Su Yichen, I still can't help but want to protect you behind me. It's ridiculous. Oh, I feel my self-defeating. A person who doesn't even have a home, why should he own you, even if he looks at you from afar, he feels that it is a kind of defilement to you. But now the situation is different, I have regained my fame and power, and the emperor also values me, making me feel hopeful, and have the courage and strength to stand in front of you. Even if you laugh at me, I will still choose to join forces with Su Yihao and defeat Su Yichen! ”

"You're such a selfish fellow!"

Qiu Shichang thought that Baili Lan would say that he was delusional, but he didn't think about it, and what he heard was such a sentence.

"For the sake of your so-called like, you ruined other people's original lives, Qiu Shichang, I never knew that you were such a selfish person. Haven't you ever imagined what my life would become without my long-cherished Yichen? Without a husband and a family to rely on, how can a woman survive in this world? I'm afraid that what you like is not me at all, but the thrill of conquest! ”

"No, I didn't think that at all!" Qiu Shichang's emotions were very excited, he looked at Bai Lilan, and said in a rough voice, "I want to get you out of Shu Yichen's hands, so that you don't have to bear that kind of humiliation!" You are not happy at all by Shu Yichen's side, and all you think about every day is conspiracy and calculation. If there was a man who would shelter you from the elements, you wouldn't need to do that at all! Since Su Yichen can't give it to you, let him disappear from your life! Isn't it wrong to let someone who can give you happiness stand by your side? ”

With a cold sneer, Bai Lilan looked at Qiu Shichang without any emotion, as if she had never known him, "What a ridiculous idea." Su Yichen is indeed not good to me, but have you ever thought that I need him to be good to me? He and I are not a normal husband and wife, and we want to raise our eyebrows, but we are just using each other. This balance is in my favor, as I can get the rights of the princess without having to bear the responsibilities of a mistress and do what I want. But it's good for you, because of your own selfish interests, you want to break this balance, and it's good for me. Hmph, think for yourself, which one of your actions is in my favor! ”

"If you want the right, I can give it to you too!" Qiu Shichang excitedly grabbed Bai Lilan's arms, and a scorching flame erupted in his eyes, "Isn't it power, it won't be long before Shu Yichen will be ousted from power, at that time, Su Yiling will seize power, and I, as his right-hand man, will naturally have no benefit, even if I ask Shu Yiling to ask you, it will not be a problem." ”

Bai Lilan stared at Qiu Shichang as if she was looking at a madman, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she said nonchalantly, "You are not only selfish, but also stupid." Do you want Su Yiling to promise me to you? Hmph, don't you know that Su Yiling also wants to get me? Even if Su Yichen is seized power, it won't be your turn! In the end, you are still making wedding dresses for others, and you are a complete fool! ”

"Su Yiling, also love you?" Qiu Shichang muttered blankly, a little incredulous.

With a little force in her body, Bai Lilan got rid of Qiu Shichang's confinement, and said coldly, "What's the benefit of deceiving you and me with this kind of thing?" Believe it or not. If you continue to fight for the tiger and go against me, then I won't care about my previous feelings, and you will be ready to take it! ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Lilan didn't look at Qiu Shichang, turned around and walked out of the main courtyard. But before leaving, she leaned half sideways and said pointedly, "Even if it's not for yourself, you always have to plan for Ziyao's future." Su Yihao even dared to assassinate me, what do you think he can guarantee for you? ”

"Assassination!" Qiu Shichang hurriedly walked up to Baili Lan, looked around her with a panicked expression, and asked in a panic, "He actually assassinated you?" Why do you count the fight between men to you? ”

"Do you think the current fight is just a contest between you men? Either you die or I die, so naturally you have to do everything. So don't think things too simply, and don't just impose what you imagine on me. You know me, I don't need the protection of a man, it's not that I have to do it, but I'm used to solving problems alone, and it has nothing to do with whether the man next to me is Su Yichen or not. At this point, you should think about it yourself, or the same sentence, I don't want you to sacrifice Ziyao's happiness for your own interests. It is not easy for your brothers and sisters to reunite, and cherishing the present is more important than anything else! ”

Stepping out of the main courtyard, Chunfeng and the others hurriedly ran over, and Qiu Ziyao also looked at Baili Lan nervously, worried.

"Is the county lord leaving, stay and accompany Ziyao for dinner, my family's kitchen is very big now, let Sister Chunfeng make beef and eight-flavor beans to eat, okay?"

"Another day, I'm a little tired today and want to go back and rest." Patting the top of Qiu Ziyao's hair, Baili Lan slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "When Ziyao is fine, you can also come to the palace and let the spring breeze prepare for you, okay?" ”

Qiu Ziyao wanted to continue pleading. Although the county lord is cold to others, he is different to himself, and he will smile every time, although today's smile carries a lot of coldness. But when Qiu Ziyao saw Qiu Shichang's eyes with implied warnings, she could only hang her head unwillingly and didn't make a sound.

It wasn't until Bai Lilan left with the four maids that Qiu Ziyao looked at her brother again, and asked with a small face, "Brother, why don't you like the county lord anymore?" ”

Qiu Shichang was secretly pondering, and suddenly heard a childish voice, and couldn't help but be stunned, "What did you say?" ”

"I ask you, why don't you like the county lord anymore?"

Qiu Shichang rubbed his face tiredly, and replied a little absent-mindedly, "I don't dislike the county lord. ”

"You talk nonsense! You'd never say those cold words to the county lord before. Although you always wear a mask, Zi Yao knows that if the county lord is happy, you will also laugh happily; If the lord is angry, you will be even more angry than she is. But now why don't you join forces with the county lord! I heard from the Queen Mother that the sixth prince was teased by the county lord and almost died. But do you believe that the county lord will take revenge on the six princes for no reason? It must have been that person who had annoyed the county lord. I have heard the Sixth Lord speak ill of the county lord more than once! Such a hateful person, brother, why are you his staff! ”
