Cheng Xiran nervously tried to pull the paper back, but He Lianduo was quick - eyed and snatched it from her.
"Revise it for me." He Lianduo immediately recalled what had happened at the racecourse the other day, and his face darkened even more.
"Sure, sure. I'll definitely depict you as wise and mighty." Cheng Xiran immediately put on a sycophantic look. "But why are you guys here?"
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you fancied that four - cornered building and wanted to buy it as the newspaper office? It's all sorted out according to your requirements," Xue Lianyu said. "By the way, when are you going to publish that gossip and anecdote section?"
"I've already started preparations, and I've also received some submissions. After the newspaper officially opens and 'Capital Anecdotes' is re - printed, I can publish these submissions."
Cheng Xiran had already made a schedule. If there were no problems, her newspaper would officially open, and the new section would be available to the public.
"The Empress Dowager has also taken notice of 'Capital Anecdotes'," He Lianduo said quietly from the side. "If 'Capital Anecdotes' remains this popular, she may summon you into the palace in a few days."
Cheng Xiran's eyes narrowed. Those in the palace must have heard about the influence of 'Capital Anecdotes', and there must be many people trying to win her over. Now that she had taken He Lianduo's side, she knew she needed to plan carefully for many things.
Especially regarding her father.
"So, Your Highness the Regent, you must protect me well. If I lose my life, who will collect intelligence and information for you?" As she said this, Cheng Xiran looked at He Lianduo pitifully. He Lianduo just glanced at her and didn't say a word.
"I'll definitely praise you more in 'Capital Anecdotes' today, and focus on writing about the supporting characters. What do you think?" Cheng Xiran said with a beaming smile.
"Cheng Xiran, when are you going to write me into it?" Xue Lianyu joined in the fun. "Or you can have the protagonist fall out of love with He Lianduo and elope with me instead."
"Write him as a villain," He Lianduo said before Cheng Xiran could speak. "A completely heinous one."
"He Lianduo, do I have a feud with you? How could you ruin my image like this?" Xue Lianyu immediately jumped up.
"Don't the common people say that the young master of the Bandit Jade Villa has a hideous face and is greedy for wealth and women? Since it's a novel, it should follow public opinion," He Lianduo said, casting a non -chalant glance at Xue Lianyu.
"How could my wise and mighty image end up like this?" Xue Lianyu covered his chest, looking mournful. "I don't care. You must re - establish my grand image in the magazine."
Cheng Xiran pursed her lips and snickered. But just as Xue Lianyu finished speaking, Cheng Xiran heard commotion outside the courtyard.
"Can't I come to see the eldest miss?" It was Liu's voice.
"Madam, you really can't go in," Zhuque, who was guarding the door, said anxiously.
"How did you guys come?" Cheng Xiran turned to look at the two of them. "Don't tell me..."
"The Empress Dowager keeps a close eye on He Lianduo. If she knew he came to the prime minister's mansion, your father would be in danger," Xue Lianyu stood up and said.
Cheng Xiran was speechless. Did they think her place was a teahouse?
"I came to remind you that if the Empress Dowager really summons you, stop publishing 'Capital Anecdotes' immediately," He Lianduo looked at Cheng Xiran. "And I've taken care of the person in your courtyard."
"Person? What person?" Cheng Xiran was completely confused.
"A man who came from God knows where. He came in through the back door," Xue Lianyu said with a smile. "It seems that you're also in danger in this mansion. You might as well just marry into my Bandit Jade Villa..."
Before Xue Lianyu could finish his sentence, He Lianduo grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him away. In the blink of an eye, the two men who had been standing in front of her disappeared.
"A man?" Cheng Xiran frowned tightly.
Just then, Liu barged in with a group of people.
