Chapter 27: Volume 1, Chapter 27: Could this person be a flower thief?

Qin Huan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her face was slightly panicked, and she hurriedly knelt down to Xuanyuan Rao, "Huan'er failed to host today's banquet well, causing mistakes in the banquet. It is Huan'er's fault, please punish me, Second Aunt."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Rao smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and the disappointment in her eyes was not covered up at all.

"Huan'er, do you really think that what you did today was seamless?" Xuanyuan Rao's voice became more severe.

Qin Huan clenched her fists in her sleeves, but tried to keep calm on the surface: "Huan'er doesn't know what Second Aunt is talking about..."

"Bang—" Before Qin Huan could finish her sentence, Xuanyuan Rao slapped the table, and Qin Huan trembled all over.

"Qin Huan, do you know that the Regent saw everything you did today?" Looking at this niece she intended to promote, Xuanyuan Rao's eyes were full of disappointment.

She hadn't seen clues before, but since she was the husband's niece, she didn't care, especially in this circle, it was hard to survive without some scheming.

But she didn't expect that in her mansion, at her birthday banquet, she actually played such vicious thoughts and almost harmed a life.

This was completely without regard for her.

Qin Huan panicked when she heard that the Regent saw it.

The Regent was a person who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes...

"Second Aunt, save me..." Qin Huan hurriedly begged, fearing that the Regent would deal with her.

Looking at Qin Huan like this, Xuanyuan Rao was cold, "Do you think that without me, you could still stand there well?"

Obviously, today's incident was full of mistakes, but she deliberately passed it by. How many people would feel that she, the Princess, was unfair?

Hearing this, Qin Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

Just because of the fright just now, Qin Huan was limp on the ground, and her back was soaked with sweat.

However, just after breathing a sigh of relief, Xuanyuan Rao said, "You go back, and don't come to my Princess's mansion in the future."

Qin Huan looked at Xuanyuan Rao in disbelief upon hearing this, "Second Aunt, you..."

"Go down!" Xuanyuan Rao didn't want to say anything more to Qin Huan.

However, Qin Huan didn't move, "Second Aunt, you can't drive me away..." If it was rumored that she was disliked by Second Aunt, who in the noble circle of the capital would take her seriously?

Seeing Xuanyuan Rao unmoved, Qin Huan was anxious, "Second Aunt, this time I was wrong, Huan'er guarantees not to commit it again... believe Huan'er, Huan'er really didn't think about killing her..."

Qin Huan bit her lip and didn't continue.

She was just jealous.

Jealous that He You Lan, a fallen noble, could be conferred as a County Princess, jealous that Yun Qiyue, a fool, could become the Crown Princess, and even more jealous that Yun Yarou could be the center of attention.

And she, although she called the Princess "Second Aunt," was just a merchant's daughter and couldn't be on the table at all.

Everyone was so polite to her on the surface, but they must be disdainful in their hearts.

Even wanting to marry into a family with a better family background was very difficult. Because of Second Aunt, there were officials who went to her home to propose, but the highest official was only third-rank.

Why?

Because of this unwillingness, when she saw Yun Yarou instructing Zhiqin to watch Yun Qiyue, and saw Yun Qiyue and He You Lan alone, she had the idea of killing three birds with one stone.

Because she knew that today was Second Aunt's birthday banquet, and Second Aunt hated these scheming things the most, so once Yun Qiyue and Yun Yarou were involved, Second Aunt would definitely not let them go easily.

But who would have thought that He You Lan's body was too poor, and her actions were seen by the Regent?

Because Qin Huan was thinking about these things, her facial expression was not managed well, and it all fell into Xuanyuan Rao's eyes.

Xuanyuan Rao didn't say much, but ordered someone to come up and take Qin Huan down.

For a time, the study was silent until Chu Mama walked in.

Seeing Chu Mama, Xuanyuan Rao's eyes moved, and there was expectation in her eyes, "Mama, husband... is his health really better?"

Chu Mama nodded, "It's true."

For a time, Xuanyuan Rao didn't speak, and Chu Mama looked at it, feeling unbearable, "Princess, why don't you go see your husband..."

"No, he won't want to see me..."

On the other side, after Yun Qiyue returned to the mansion, she went straight into her temporary pharmacy.

Night deepened.

Yun Qiyue, dressed in night clothes, avoided Qingyan, and her figure agilely left Mingyue Building, heading toward the Hou Mansion next door.

Passing through the garden connecting the two mansions, Yun Qiyue's goal was very clear: Yun Yarou's courtyard.

Because it was late at night, the Hou Mansion's defense was lax, and since Yun Qiyue wasn't going to a heavy place, it was very easy to enter Yun Yarou's room.

At this time, Yun Yarou had already fallen asleep, and the maidservant guarding the night was nodding off by the bed.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue sprinkled a pinch of medicine powder on their heads, and they all fell into a deep sleep, the kind that wouldn't wake up even if stabbed with a knife.

And the next moment, Yun Qiyue really took out a knife from her bosom and compared it to Yun Yarou's chest.

Ye Lanjue, who had been following Yun Qiyue since Mingyue Building, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Are you here to kill someone in the middle of the night?"

In this quiet night, this sudden voice was particularly abrupt, scaring the knife in Yun Qiyue's hand almost out of her grip.

Turning her head, Yun Qiyue saw a black shadow standing a meter behind her at some point.

Her heart condensed, Yun Qiyue tightened her grip on the knife, looking at the black shadow with alertness.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's actions, raised an eyebrow, and kindly reminded, "I... I'm just passing by, you continue."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Passing by to Yun Yarou's boudoir?

Such a coincidence?

Could this person be a flower thief?

If not a flower thief, who would run to a woman's room in the middle of the night?

Yun Qiyue felt that she must have hit the truth.

However, Ye Lanjue, who had excellent night vision, looked at Yun Qiyue's "hit the truth" expression and felt a bit confused.

At this time, Yun Qiyue spoke, "I came first, and I'll leave after I finish my business. I promise not to disturb your business."

So, they would just mind their own business, following the principle of first come, first served.

Neither would delay the other.

Ye Lanjue: "..." What business did he have to do?

He just inexplicably arrived at the General's Mansion, inexplicably went to Mingyue Building, then saw Yun Qiyue come out of Mingyue Building, inexplicably followed her, and finally inexplicably spoke because he didn't understand Yun Qiyue's behavior.

So, what business did he have to do?

Seeing the other party didn't speak, Yun Qiyue thought that the other party could appear behind her without her noticing, so he must be a master she couldn't afford to provoke, so she should discuss it.

So, Yun Qiyue said, "How about... you finish your business first, and I'll come again? Just don't kill the person."

Anyway, whether she did her business first or later didn't affect it, it just delayed her time.

But if this flower thief accidentally killed the person, she would lose out.

Death was too cheap for Yun Yarou, and her revenge would lack a bit of fun.

Not until this moment did Ye Lanjue finally understand what Yun Qiyue meant by "business," and his face turned black.

Did he look so desperate? ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
