The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

As Yan Xingzhi spoke, he looked at Bai Jianan, his gaze shifting slightly, and said in a profound and unfathomable tone, "Your sweetheart has calculated everything in her heart."

Bai Jianan listened, his mind stirred slightly, and then said, "When Lan Yue Lou first arrived in the capital, it immediately attached itself to the Second Prince. It seems that they needed an identity to cover it up. Qiu Zhenzhou was forced to recall his concubine's daughter, but that may not necessarily be out of necessity."

Qiu Zhenzhou was quite cunning. If he hadn't considered the possibility of his illegitimate daughter being exposed, he wouldn't have made such an arrangement. The heir of the Marquis of Qingyan was a legendary good-for-nothing lecher, and he would certainly be unable to resist beautiful women. This unknown illegitimate daughter was exactly what this good-for-nothing he had his eye on, so naturally he would keep her hidden away, preventing others from seeing her.

Moreover, the heir of the Marquis of Qingyan will not live in the capital forever. After the marriage, he will naturally take his new bride back to his fiefdom, so there will be no question of being exposed. Therefore, no matter what doubts this concubine's daughter may have, she will definitely be obstructed by the domineering heir.

As for what you said about her, it's certainly possible. That girl is really not like a normal girl; she's as brave as a bear.

Yan Xingzhi nodded, but also shook his head and said, "So, even if this is not the result the Qiu family wanted, it must be related to the people behind the Qiu family."

If what the guards said is true, then the woman in the Qiu family's cellar is no ordinary person. In that case, going along with Qiu Zhenzhou's wishes would be a clever way to lure him into a trap.

As for that beauty in your heart, I believe she has already begun to act. Regardless of her motives, if things continue, her true intentions will eventually be revealed.

Yan Xingzhi stopped short of making a point. Bai Jianan frowned slightly, then suddenly smiled. His dark eyes flashed, and he said, "Not bad, it's quite a show. It seems that not only the Qiu family, but also the Shangguan family needs to be investigated."

As he spoke, he raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, a faint smile playing on his lips: "It's just a pity that the seemingly weak and easily manipulated concubine's daughter turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. I believe it won't be long before we see some excitement in the Qiu family."

Yan Xingzhi smiled, then said seriously, "However, before that, don't forget your own affairs. Romantic feelings are never as important as these matters."

Bai Jianan nodded: "Do you need to tell me? However, since ancient times, when a beauty is in one's arms, one naturally values ​​the beauty more. Since I, the young master, have also ended up dying under the peony flower, and even as a ghost I am still romantic, I naturally have to investigate thoroughly, just to win a smile from the beauty, right?"

Yan Xingzhi shook his head speechlessly, said nothing more, and lazily got up and left. He had been a playboy for too long, and probably couldn't change his ways anytime soon. But we'll see if this kind of flirtatious behavior can win the heart of a beauty.

Yan Xingzhi smiled slightly, said nothing more, and left.

After Yan Xingzhi left, Bai Jianan pondered for a moment and smiled slightly.

"Oh! Who's back? Eldest sister, come and see. Our sixth sister has grown quite a bit, but she still looks like a beggar. She's so shabby, she hasn't improved at all."

A sarcastic voice came to Jian Yue's ears. Jian Yue paused slightly in her hand holding the book, but then continued reading as if she hadn't seen it.

Hearing this, Xiao Cui, who was still wiping and scrubbing nearby, quickly dropped the rag and ran to Jian Yue's side, staring nervously at the person who came in.
