Chapter 250 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 19
Bai Qingyun was silent. He heard a hint of pride in Lan Jinian's tone.
What to be proud of?
Now that his business is not stable, Miss Shen has been targeted. I really don't know what he is so proud of.
Bai Qingyun silently threw the letter into the candlelight: "What does your highness plan to do?"
Lan Zhinian stared at the flickering candle flame. The dancing flame flickered in his dark and translucent black eyes. He looked like a male demon, but the words he spoke were cold and cruel:
"Kill him."
Although he had expected this, Bai Qingyun was still shocked when he heard Lan Zhinian was going to kill the princess in marriage so casually.
He didn't even plan to investigate whether Xu Wei had ill intentions towards Miss Shen, and made his decision based on just one letter.
"But her identity is special. If she died for no reason, it might cause disputes. Would it be detrimental to Your Highness's seizure of the throne?"
Lan Zhinian blinked slowly and lightly, as if he was very confused: "What does this have to do with me?"
Bai Qingyun was silent again, then bowed his head: "I understand."
Lan Zhinian brushed his sleeves and asked, "What's the situation in the palace?"
"The new emperor revels every night, and it seems that he will not resist."
"You still love to act like this," Lan Zhinian sneered, "But it doesn't matter. We are brothers after all. I will be kind and let him make his fake play come true."

Xie Zheng ordered Lan to be under house arrest for a month, but within half a month she was released from Lanxinyuan in a dignified manner.
Of course, Lan would never have thought that her life was about to end. She was sitting in the main seat, looking down at the man kneeling on the ground.
"Are you the one who secretly agreed to spend the rest of her life with Cang Cang?"
The daughter is like her mother. The mother married a poor scholar, and the daughter followed suit and married a useless loser.
The man's clothes were dirty, his hair was messy, and his face was dusty. There was nothing special about him.
He never spoke, and Lan didn't care. She put down the teacup in her hand and curled her lips slightly:
"You don't have to act like this. In fact, you should thank me. If it weren't for my kindness, you probably wouldn't have the chance to see your sweetheart again."
As soon as the voice fell, the maid came in and reported: "Miss Shen is here."
The man finally reacted. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lan, then quickly lowered his head and shrank back, as if he was extremely afraid that Shen Weicang would recognize him.
In his peripheral vision, a pair of light red embroidered shoes and a fluttering pink embroidered skirt passed by, and then he heard Shen Weicang's somewhat weak voice: "Hello, aunt."
Lan pretended to be concerned and asked, "Why is Cang Cang so pale? Did you catch a cold? The weather has been getting colder these days. Remember to put on more clothes."
Shen Weicang reluctantly twitched his lips and did not respond to her words: "I wonder what my aunt wants me to come over for?"
Lan sighed, looked at her disapprovingly and said:
"Cang Cang, I know that you are young and naive, so it is inevitable that you will be easily deceived. But I never thought that you would dare to do such an ugly thing as getting engaged to someone behind your parents' backs."
Seeing Shen Weicang looking up at her, Lan showed a helpless and disappointed expression:
"If your aunt hadn't noticed that you were distracted the whole day and were investigating, I really wouldn't have known that you had done such a wrong thing."
She motioned Shen Weicang to look at the man kneeling on the ground: "Fortunately, the big mistake has not been made yet, but he can't be kept."
Shen Weicang looked at the man in confusion, and the moment he saw his face, his eyes changed.
Why is Hu Yi here?
The man immediately looked away the moment his eyes met hers, but Shen Weicang was sure that he was not wrong. Hu Yi was Lan Jinian's secret guard, and he must have come here on Lan Jinian's orders.
Shen Weicang did not react. Lan Zhinian would never hurt her anyway.
Xie Wanheng cried and begged for the release of Lan from her house arrest, but she knew that after being schemed against by Lan, Xie Wanheng would not let her go so easily.
The reason why no action was taken for the time being was just for her sake, but unfortunately everything Lan did was to seek death.
Shen Weicang did nothing, but the Lan family was about to kill him.
Although she had no good intentions in going along with Lan, at least Xie Wanheng and Tan Yuan would be wary of her outward attitude.
Lan noticed that Shen Weicang had become much colder towards her since the night he gave her the amulet. She was worried that he no longer had any leverage over her, so she decided to break up with her directly and use her "lover" to threaten her.
She has been in control of the General's Mansion for so many years, and she is well-informed even though she is under house arrest.
But she couldn't find out any news about Xie Wanheng's yard. She could only guess from Shen Weicang's attitude towards her that something must have happened between them that night.
Hu Yi suddenly spoke up at this time, he raised his head with a cold look: "Madam Xie, you want to threaten Cang Cang with my life, I will never let you do what you want!"
Shen Weicang almost choked on her own saliva. She suspected that this was not the Hu Yi she knew.
As Hu Yi shouted, he kept repeating "Your Highness, please forgive me" in his mind. He suddenly stood up and was about to ram into the door frame:
"I would rather die than become your bargaining chip to threaten Cang Cang!"
Shen Weicang really wanted to cooperate with him, but he was too dirty and she couldn't bring herself to stop him, so she had to let Liu'er go.
She looked at Lan with a cold face: "What do you mean, aunt?"
Lan admired this star-crossed couple. The girl looked at her with suppressed anger, while the man refused to surrender and stuck out his neck to commit suicide.
She sympathetically said, "Cangcang, don't blame your aunt for being cruel. This is just for your own consideration."
At this point she stopped pretending and said bluntly:
"You also know that Xie Wanheng is very capable. Since I can no longer be his enemy, I naturally have to find a way to win him over."
Shen Weicang glared at her angrily, as if he wanted to kill her with his eyes: "So you have been using me and deceiving me from the beginning!"
"This may be a good thing for you," Lan advised her in a fake tone.
"Anyone with eyes can see who is better between him and Xie Wanheng. Are you a fool? Why would you give up a good life and choose to live a hard life?"
"Who cares about your so-called good life! You tricked me into giving Xie Wanheng a lucky charm, but ended up hurting me..."
Shen Weicang was heartbroken. He turned to look at Liu'er, his eyes swept over the stunned Hu Yi, and pursed his lips:
"Yilang, since we can't be together in this life, then Cang Cang will go first, and we will see each other in the next life!"
As she spoke, under Hu Yi's horrified gaze, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it fiercely into her heart.
Hu Yi was so scared that his soul flew away. What was Miss Shen doing?
He subconsciously tried to knock the dagger away, but Liu'er secretly grabbed his hand tightly.
Hu Yi almost fainted from anger. Even if Liu'er was Miss Shen's person now, he couldn't let her commit suicide!
Liu'er wanted to roll her eyes. Hu Yi was such a fool. Even if he couldn't see that the young lady was acting, he should have used his brains. Was he worthy of making the young lady commit suicide?
"gray!"
Xie Wanheng rushed in and hugged her tightly, holding her hand with his right hand: "Let go!"
Shen Weicang cried and struggled desperately: "Let me go!"
Xie Wanheng didn't want to hurt her, but the dagger was too sharp. Shen Weicang was shaking it around in excitement, and he couldn't take it away immediately without using force.
In the chaos, Shen Weicang accidentally scratched Xie Wanheng's hand several times, and blood gushed out immediately.
He threw the dagger to the ground with a cold face, and looked at Lan as if he was looking at a dead person, but in the end he said nothing, picked up the still struggling girl and hurried away.
His eyes made Lan feel uneasy. She didn't expect that this would backfire and make Xie Wanheng hate her even more.
Xie Wanheng is now gradually taking charge of a part of the Xie family army. He acts without regard for the consequences. Before, he poisoned Yan'er almost openly.
He was not afraid of being questioned at all and even wanted to drag himself to death.
Lan doesn't want to die. It's obvious that the only person who can prevent Xie Wanheng from going crazy is Shen Weicang.
Lan realized that she had made another wrong move, and now there was no way Shen Weicang would listen to her anymore.
But it doesn't matter. She stared at Hu Yi coldly. It seems that Shen Weicang is deeply in love with him. As long as she can get him in her hand, she is not afraid that Shen Weicang will surrender.
Hu Yi noticed Lan's gaze on him and lowered his head to hide his twitching mouth.
Why did I have to be assigned this tough job? Not only do I have to act painfully, but there is another man next to Miss Shen. If His Highness knew about this, he would be furious.
