Ye Qingwan and Ye Junfei are twins. The brother and sister were separated when they were young, and although they are twins, they are not very close.

Wu Dao trembled beside Ye Junfei. Of all the people in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, he feared Ye Qingwan the most.

If she knew he was using Ye Junfei's identity, this old lady would probably tear him apart!

Lin Xiuyan's lips twitched as she watched the interaction between the three of them.

Fan Xilou whispered from the side, "This princess doesn't seem very easy to get along with."

Lin Xiuyan remained noncommittal; after all, no matter how difficult someone was to get along with, they wouldn't be more difficult than Ye Junfei.

She was somewhat worried; these few big shots had entered the Lin residence, and she didn't know how to get rid of them.

Xu Qianting was a bit of a simpleton. He asked Wudao, "Young Master, aren't you going to greet the Princess?"

Ye Qingwan immediately looked at Wudao, who wished he could chop Xu Qianting up!

It was already awkward enough for him to impersonate Ye Junfei in front of Ye Junfei, but now with Ye Qingwan appearing on top of that, he probably won't be able to keep his fake identity.

He decided to throw caution to the wind and asked with a fawning grin, "Why has the princess come to Yucheng?"

Ye Qingwan glanced at him, then at Ye Junfei, and understood somewhat. She asked in a low voice, "Young Master?"

Wu Dao brazenly replied, "It's me."

Ye Qingwan raised an eyebrow and asked him, "If I call you brother, would you dare to answer?"

Wu Dao timidly replied, "I wouldn't dare."

Ye Qingwan snorted softly, thankfully not revealing his identity directly, and glanced at Ye Junfei sideways: "Childish!"

Ye Junfei: "..."

He found his younger sister quite annoying and thought he'd find a chance to beat her up someday.

Looking at the situation before him, Fan Xilou gently tugged at Lin Xiuyan's sleeve and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Xiuyan shrugged and said, "I don't know."

She didn't know Ye Qingwan in her past life, she had only seen her memorial tablet, so seeing Ye Qingwan now felt a bit strange.

Lin Xiuyan originally went to the restaurant with Fan Xilou and Xu Qianting, but when they came out, the group had grown to more than twice its original size.

When they returned to the Lin residence, Lin Yunzhi was stunned to hear that the Prince of Pingnan had sent another princess who was also going to stay at the Lin residence.

He felt that by marrying Jiang Xinrou, the Lin family gained the heir of the Prince of Pingnan and a princess, which was like a buy-one-get-two-free promotion.

Moreover, the two people sent in are much more troublesome than Jiang Xinrou.

He didn't want to deal with them, but given their status, he couldn't ignore them.

He secretly asked Lin Xiuyan, "What's going on? Why did you bring back another princess?"

Lin Xiuyan shrugged: "She helped me deal with Yu Feiyan at the restaurant, I couldn't refuse."

Lin Yunzhi's thinking has always been somewhat unconventional: "If she's willing to help you deal with Yu Feiyan, then she probably doesn't have any malicious intent."

"Those who have no ill intentions towards you are all friends of the Lin family."

He finished speaking with a smile and said, "Many thanks to the Princess for helping Yan'er out of that predicament today. It is an honor for the Lin family that the Princess has chosen to stay at the Lin residence."

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

She felt that her father was also quite fickle.

Ye Qingwan gave a slight curtsy in return: "You're too kind, Master Lin."

She stretched out her hand, and a maid placed a box in it. She handed the box to Lin Yunzhi, saying, "I have long heard that Master Lin is a man of refined taste."

"This is Zheng Xingzhi's 'Pine and Rock Painting' from the previous dynasty. I hope you will accept it with a smile."

Lin Yunzhi's eyes lit up when he heard the words "Pine and Rock Painting" by Zheng Xingzhi.

He took the painting and looked at Ye Qingwan, his smile becoming more sincere: "Thank you, Princess!"

The rest of the time was spent in pleasant conversation between the host and guests.

Ye Qingwan wasn't particularly talkative, and although she seemed a bit cold, she was poised and knew how to conduct herself appropriately, making her impossible to dislike.

Lin Yunzhi did not let her live with the "Prince," but instead had a courtyard prepared for her to live alone.

While tidying up the room, Lin Xiuyan led Ye Qingwan on a tour of the Lin residence.

Ye Qingwan said in a low voice, "Miss Lin must be tired today. Let Master Ye show me around the Lin residence."

Lin Xiuyan knew that the brother and sister had something to say, so she naturally had no objections.

After she left, Ye Junfei asked Ye Qingwan, "What brought you to the Lin residence?"

Ye Qingwan replied, "You patrolled the thirteen cities of Liefeng Prefecture under the guise of an inspector, but you've been staying in Yucheng the whole time."

“Those people in the manor have been trying to sow discord between you and Father King lately, so Father King isn’t too happy about it.”

"Then I asked my father for permission to come and watch over you."

Ye Junfei said calmly, "They trust you to watch over me?"

Ye Qingwan paused for a moment and said, "I think you can rest assured. After all, we don't get along well. Although we are siblings, our personalities are completely different. We start fighting as soon as we meet."

Ye Junfei glanced at her, and she said again, "I know you don't like being close to people, and actually, I'm the same way."

"My mother repeatedly told me before she passed away to take care of you. I promised her, and I will not break my promise."

Ye Junfei sneered: "Do I need your care?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingwan said, "It's probably not necessary. After all, you were able to return from the capital alive and maintain your position as the heir apparent, which is much better than me."

Ye Junfei's eyes were dark and deep: "Go back. My affairs are none of your business."

Ye Qingwan didn't respond to his question, but instead said, "You stayed in Yucheng because of Miss Lin, right?"

"What's it to you?" Ye Junfei's tone wasn't friendly.

Ye Qingwan chuckled lightly: "She was originally none of my business, but if someone wants to marry her and make her my sister-in-law, then it's my business."

A hint of coldness appeared in Ye Junfei's eyes.

Ye Qingwan looked at him and sighed softly: "Brother, not everyone in this world wants to harm you."

“When you were young, your father sent you to the capital, and I was powerless to stop it.”

"Now, all I can do for you is help you find a wife who suits your taste."

Ye Junfei frowned: "Don't always talk to me in such an old-fashioned tone!"

Ye Qingwan said calmly, "Miss Lin is very distant from you, and seems to dislike you. Did you kill someone in front of her?"

Ye Junfei ignored her, and she sighed, "It seems I guessed right."

"Girls like gentle men. I'm not talking about superficial gentleness, but gentleness from the heart."

Ye Junfei seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

He turned his head and saw Lin Xiuyan with Fan Xilou and Xu Qianting. They were talking about something and laughing happily.

Although Lin Xiuyan often smiled at him, her smiles in front of him were fake, far less touching than her heartfelt laughter at this moment.

He was slightly lost in thought.

Ye Qingwan stood beside him and said, "In Miss Lin's heart, you are probably not as good as those two young masters."

Ye Junfei said coldly, "Shut up!"
