Although Lan Ting didn't like it, he still wanted to be polite and cupped his hand, "Mr. Jiang, no, it should be Alliance Leader Jiang. We meet again. Thank you for saving my cousin."
Lan Ting and Jiang Shang have never dealt with each other very well, and it can be seen from the time at the inn that they often interacted with each other. They are very hostile to each other, and now they have temporarily united for the sake of profit. It is inevitable that they will be different from each other when things happen.
Jiang Shang saw Manmiao and Lan Ting's affectionate movements, and the stainless steel fan in his hand was almost twisted into a scimitar. He stood there with a livid face, his eyes were only on Manmiao, and he turned a deaf ear to Lan Ting's words.
Lan Ting said this very implicitly, but he was also asking: Why were you the first to rush out when my cousin was in danger? Did you have any intentions?
Jiang Shang originally wanted to use this opportunity to explain clearly to Manmei, but he didn't expect Lan Ting to come too quickly and without saying anything, he had already arrived. The hatred in his heart was so overwhelming that he tore Lan Ting apart.
Chuan has all his thoughts.
Not long after, Huangfu Xun came over with his guards. He was a little surprised when he saw it was Jiang Shang. He stood behind Lan Ting without saying much.
Qin Qifeng arrived late, and Lan Ting was about to take Lan Miao into the carriage, so he hurried over.
Seeing Jiang Shang and Lan Ting both there, Qin Qifeng frowned and looked around, then looked at Manmiao. Manmiao herself was confused. How could she possibly explain anything to him?
"It's okay. I'd better pay more attention to safety in the future and don't come out." Qin Qifeng felt that his daughter had a bad fate and would encounter trouble wherever she went.
Manmei herself felt that she was blackened from head to toe, that she was so unlucky that she could not live in peace anywhere.
Qin Qifeng saw Manmei getting on the carriage and rode his horse to follow the carriage. Before leaving, he looked back at Jiang Shang and shook his head helplessly.
Manmiao told Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun what happened in the carriage.
She really didn't remember much. The effect of the medicine was very strong. She kept holding the Liuyun Jade to the tip of her nose, and her head was still a little dizzy. She might have a clear idea.
"Why didn't those assassins kill me?" Man Miao looked at Lan Ting strangely, "Isn't Jiang Shang's plan of killing me too inexplicable?"
Lan Ting curled his lips and said, "He handed me the assassin's body. If he really did it, he would have dared to do this only after making sure everything was safe."
"You mean it's not him?" Manmiao kept rolling the Liuyun Jade under her nose, "This is too strange. If it were other people, how could they send someone to kidnap me? They would just take me
Wouldn’t it be better to kill him with one knife?”
Lan Ting touched his chin and thought about this, "I'm wondering too. If I want to kill you, I'll kill you on the mountain and leave immediately. Most likely I won't be discovered. But if I want to hold you hostage, there's no need to bring you back."
There’s something fishy about this.”
Manmei glared at him angrily, then fell down in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
When they arrived at Lan Ting's Prince Yi's Mansion, Qin Qifeng also walked in, "Jiang Shang couldn't have done this."
Manmei jumped up when she heard this, "You're still talking to him?! Have you forgotten that he wants to kill me?"
Qin Qifeng looked at her and asked in surprise, "Didn't he explain it to you?"
"I don't have time to listen to his explanation." Judging from Qin Qifeng's attitude, he was probably persuaded by Jiang Shang and started talking to him.
Thinking about the border between Qin and Yue, the two countries have many common interests. In comparison, the Blue and Qin are too far apart. For a very realistic and profit-oriented person like Qin Qifeng, there is a son-in-law of the Blue Prince.
, is far less good than having a son-in-law from a powerful family in the Yue Kingdom.
Manmiao figured this out in an instant, and immediately felt very disappointed with Qin Qifeng.
I thought he was really a kind father or something like that, but I didn't expect that it was his interests that took precedence.
He immediately turned cold and said, "I have a very bad headache now. Your Highness, please help yourself."
For a person like Qin Qifeng, as soon as he heard what Manmiao said, he knew that she was angry with him. Then he thought about what Manmiao was thinking, "If you are willing to listen carefully to what he said, you will know that I will never use you as a pawn."
Use it as a bargaining chip to win over him."
Manmiao didn't want to talk to him anymore, but Qin Qifeng didn't want her to misunderstand him anymore. He politely invited Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun out, and he and Manmiao talked in the room.
Turning a blind eye to her uncooperative attitude, he sat across from her, poured himself a cup of tea and took a big sip, "Jiang Shang hasn't explained it to you. No matter what I say, you think you are speaking for him, so let's not mention it for now.
Let’s just talk about Lan Ting.”
"What's there to say?" Manmiao sat across from him with her arms folded. From a psychological point of view, this was a sign of defensiveness and resistance. "It just means that if Lan Ting fights with the emperor now, he may not win.
,How will you know if you don’t try?”
Qin Qifeng saw her attitude and was not angry at all. He explained patiently, "Lan Ting is lustful and dissolute. Countries have long heard about it. If you live in his house, you yourself know how many women he has. Even if he can become emperor in the future.
, you won’t be happy if you become his queen.”
"Why should I be his queen? I'm just here to help him get through this difficulty. As for whether he will be an emperor or a prince in the future, what does it have to do with me? I will go back to my inn after his matter here is resolved.
, what does he have to do with me?"
Qin Qifeng's eyes widened in surprise, "You don't want to be his queen? Then why are you still here?"
Manmiao felt that she really couldn't communicate with this person, "He helped me when I needed help the most. Now he needs help, and I am here to help him. Is it difficult to understand? I grew up in a small household.
, without all your fussing and fussing, I only know that he is kind to me and I have to help him, it’s that simple.”
After listening to her words, Qin Qifeng pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "You are a compassionate person. Since you don't want to be his wife, dad will arrange your future life and ensure that you have enough food and clothing."
"I have hands and feet, and an inn. Although I'm not richer than you, I can still keep myself warm and well-fed. You don't have to worry about my affairs." Man Miao felt a bit uncomfortable when she thought that he was so opposed to her being with Lan Ting.
The father's love for his daughter meant that he did not say harsh words and sent her out politely.
Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun were waiting for them in the pavilion outside the door. They were relieved to see that she and Qin Qifeng did not have an unpleasant argument.
Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun graciously invited Qin Qifeng to stay for dinner. Qin Qifeng probably really didn't like Lan Ting, so he found an excuse and left directly.
Manmiao looked at Qin Qifeng's leaving figure and felt that she had never understood this person.
Doesn't he feel the same way about his daughter who was killed halfway? I don't know if it's more of a utilization factor or a more caring factor.
