Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

"What kind of look is that? Do you have something on your mind?"

Qin Ping'an raised his long eyebrows, a hint of warning flashing in his eyes.

Wei Qingrou's beautiful eyes darted around, her head slightly lowered to avoid his gaze, concealing the look of disdain in her eyes.

"What thoughts could I possibly have? I'm just glad we've weathered this storm again. I wonder when we'll finish this mission."

Qin Ping'an seemed to sense something as well, and sighed.

"Yes, this matter is not over yet."

Qin Ping'an instructed Wei Qingrou: "You wait here. I'll clean up the mess. There are quite a few people asking about Miss Xinlan."

Wei Qingrou nodded.

Wei Lanxin impulsively performed a belly dance, which attracted the covetous eyes of many suitors, including some high-ranking and powerful individuals. If this is not dealt with properly, it will surely cause trouble in the future.

Moreover, Wei Lanxin is not a law-abiding person. This time she was willing to eat and drink with someone for money, but who knows what might happen next time.

As a fellow time traveler, Wei Qingrou knew all too well that people who grew up in modern society had very little self-control in relationships and were easily prone to acting on their whims.

In modern terms, this is called living for the moment and cutting your losses as soon as possible.

However, in ancient times, it wasn't so easy for Wei Lanxin to sever her emotional ties with someone of such high status as the First Prince.

When the emperor is angry, millions will die and rivers of blood will flow – this is no joke.

Wei Qingrou rested and drank tea in the outer room of the wing, waiting for the eldest prince and Wei Lanxin inside to finish their intimate moment so she could head back home.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door to the side room was kicked open.

The leader of the pimps glared angrily at Wei Qingrou and loudly accused her: "Sister Hua, it was this boy who brought a group of people here, ruined Young Master Zhao and Miss Xinlan's good time, and even beat Young Master Zhao up and left him covered in injuries."

The madam, Sister Hua, was trembling with anger. Young Master Zhao was gentle, wealthy, and generous, a rare and good customer, a ready-made money tree.

She had finally managed to persuade Miss Xinlan to attend the banquet, and was just waiting to help her and Young Master Zhao get married so she could receive an even bigger red envelope and have a prosperous New Year.

Who would have thought that such a beautiful dream would be ruined like this?

Seeing that the other party was dressed in a rich and luxurious manner, Sister Hua suppressed her anger, first showing a polite smile, and began to inquire about his background.

"Young master, you look unfamiliar. May I ask where you are seeking employment?"

Wei Qingrou naturally couldn't reveal her identity as the Princess of Dun's Mansion and the royal matriarch, so she could only say indirectly, "I am the accountant of Qianyu Tower."

Sister Hua's expression instantly turned disdainful, her anger intensifying: "A mere accountant dares to ruin my plans! He's practically courting death!"

Wei Qingrou waved her folding fan with an elegant air, her gaze towards Sister Hua filled with calm and composure.

"Sister Hua, you haven't been out for a long time, have you? Do you know who the owner of Qianyu Tower is?"

"who is it?"

Sister Hua's eyes widened. She hadn't been out for a long time, because Luo Xian Lou was busy hosting the Romantic Competition and couldn't afford to be out of the house for even a second.

Besides, she's not the only madam at Luoxianlou; if she doesn't work hard, she'll soon be squeezed out.

One of the pimps quickly stepped forward and whispered to Sister Hua, "It's the Prince Dun's Mansion, which is said to be the property of Second Master Qin."

Wei Qingrou smiled contemptuously and said, feigning arrogance, "You must have heard of the methods of our Second Master Qin, right?"

Sister Hua frowned immediately. "Second Master Qin? That ruthless rogue, the number one spoiled brat of the royal family?"

"That's him."

Sister Hua looked troubled. "He's not someone to be trifled with. I really have to give him some face."

The pimp whispered, "Words are no proof. He's just a lowly accountant. How could he possibly catch the eye of someone as important as Master Qin? He might be lying to us."

Another pimp chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Our Luoxian Tower has powerful backers. Our boss is related to the Liuhe Princess's family."

Upon hearing this, Hua Niang immediately straightened her back.

"That's right, everyone has a powerful backer, right? Who are you trying to scare by invoking Master Qin's name?"

"Even if Second Master Qin really comes, he'll have to bow down in the territory under Princess Liuhe's protection!"

"That's right, that's right! Today, if you don't pay us 100,000 taels of silver, don't even think about leaving the gates of Luoxian Tower!"

Wei Qingrou never expected that Hua Niang would be so audacious. Qin Ping'an was so infamous, yet she still dared to extort money from him.

It seems that the reputation of Master Qin isn't all that great after all.

"Hey! Hurry up and give me the money."

"Stop wasting time talking to her. Let's settle accounts with Miss Xinlan and that pretty boy who injured Young Master Zhao. I want to see who has offended my distinguished guest."

Hua Niang snorted coldly and beckoned people to rush into the inner room.

Wei Qingrou hurriedly sent people to stop them, and the scene became extremely tense and fraught with danger.

"Get out of my way right now, or my pimp's knife is no joke!" the madam said coldly.

Wei Qingrou stood motionless in front of the door, showing no intention of moving aside.

Seeing this, the madam became furious and coldly ordered, "Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has."

"Oh, where did this brothel madam come from, daring to bully me, Qin Ping'an?"

Qin Ping'an's voice was slow, yet each word was powerful and resonant, carrying a chilling majesty and murderous intent.

He strode forward and sat down next to Wei Qingrou. His cold gaze swept casually over Sister Hua, but when it landed on Wei Qingrou, it revealed a hint of warmth.

"Are you OK?"

Wei Qingrou shook her head. "It's nothing."

"Why don't you mention me? Those blind bastards almost offended you."

Wei Qingrou glanced at him sideways, a smile playing on her lips. "I've mentioned it, but it didn't work. They're not afraid of you."

"Is that so?" Qin Ping'an's smile faltered, and he turned his head to stare indifferently at Sister Hua and the turtle slave.

Aren't you afraid of me?

When Sister Hua saw Qin Ping'an, her legs went weak. How could this great Buddha have actually appeared?

She looked at the wealthy and beautiful Wei Qingrou in disbelief, and was taken aback.

Could it be that Master Qin has now fallen for male confidants instead of female confidantes?

Oh no, she's offended Master Qin's favorite!

"We're terrified! Second Master Qin, we were blind to your greatness. We never expected that these were your men. Please be magnanimous and show mercy!"

Sister Hua knelt down with a thud, banging her head against the ground repeatedly, soon staining the floor red.

Wei Qingrou looked at Qin Ping'an's somewhat nonchalant profile with slight surprise, feeling puzzled.

What kind of ruthless and reckless things had Qin Ping'an done in the past that he could scare the madam like this with just a few words?

"Second Master Qin, we didn't recognize this young master and had no idea he was one of your men. That's why we offended him. We were truly blind and deserve to die!"

After a tearful and aggrieved plea, Sister Hua said, "We don't want any compensation, we just beg Second Master Qin to forgive us this time."

Qin Ping'an had no intention of causing trouble, so he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Kneel down and apologize to my...brother."

The group quickly turned their heads and kowtowed to Wei Qingrou, the "bang bang bang" sounds were absolutely genuine.

Wei Qingrou didn't want to pursue the matter any further, since it involved the First Prince and Wei Lanxin. It was best to be cautious and avoid any further complications.

"Alright, you can go now." Wei Qingrou waved her hand.

"Why are you leaving? Give me my money!"

Just then, the door to the inner room suddenly opened, and Wei Lanxin walked out of the room, blocking the madam's way.
