Ye Jingxian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The people must not be disturbed. Anyone who bullies others by abusing their power and disturbs the people will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane."

"Very good." Ye Qingwan looked at him and said, "I will report today's events to my father after I return to the palace."

"Now, what you need to do is apologize!"

Although Ye Jingxian was very unwilling, he still cupped his hands to Lin Xiuyan and said, "I was rash today, and I apologize to you, Miss."

He felt that given his status, he should apologize to Lin Xiuyan at this point, and she should know when to stop.

After all, in his eyes, Lin Xiuyan was just an ordinary citizen of Chongqing.

Lin Xiuyan looked at Ye Qingwan, and Ye Qingwan winked at her.

She felt a little conflicted. Was Ye Qingwan training Ye Jingxian really that fierce, like he was disciplining his grandson?

Ye Qingwan said in a low voice, "It seems that your sincerity is not enough to win Miss Lin's forgiveness."

Ye Jingxian glanced at Lin Xiuyan, gritted his teeth, and knelt on one knee in front of her, saying, "Please forgive my impetuousness, Miss Lin."

Lin Xiuyan looked at the obedient Ye Jingxian with a bit of disbelief.

She coughed lightly and said, "I feel that you only said you forgive me, without any other expression. Doesn't that lack a bit of sincerity?"

Night View Leisure: "..."

She's courting death!

He looked up at Lin Xiuyan.

Lin Xiuyan immediately jumped behind Ye Qingwan and said, "Princess, he's glaring at me!"

Ye Qingwan glanced at her and said softly, "That's enough for you."

Lin Xiuyan immediately said to Ye Jingxian, "The princess said that you look insincere and have to kowtow to me ten times!"

Ye Qingwan: "..."

Night View Leisure: "..."

The two of them turned to look at her simultaneously.

Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "But I've always been a very magnanimous person."

"I feel really embarrassed that a grown man like you is kowtowing to me."

"How about this, you go and beat up Zhou Chenyang for me, and we'll call it even."

Ye Qingwan: "..."

Night View Leisure: "..."

She really doesn't hold back at all!

Lin Xiuyan noticed their gazes and slightly raised an eyebrow: "Second Young Master is unwilling?"

The reason for the leisurely night view in Chongqing was that many of the spies planted by the Prince's Mansion in Chongqing had been killed.

Last night, the Prince of Pingnan received news from a surviving scout that there was unrest in Yucheng, so he sent Ye Jingxian to Yucheng overnight.

So, in essence, Ye Jingxian came to Chongqing to cause trouble for Zhou Chenyang.

However, he met Lin Xiuyan first, and this not-so-happy thing happened.

He had a lot of questions in his mind, but since Ye Qingwan was there, he didn't dare to ask any more.

He took a deep breath and said, "I do."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Qingwan and led the soldiers toward the city lord's mansion.

As soon as he left, Lin Xiuyan laughed: "Princess, you're amazing! You actually managed to tame that unreasonable second young master!"

Ye Qingwan glanced at her and said calmly, "Not as impressive as your 'fox borrowing the tiger's might'."

Lin Xiuyan took her arm and said, "I can only do this because the princess allowed me to borrow your power! So, the princess is still the most powerful!"

Ye Qingwan was speechless at her shameless behavior.

She tried to pull Lin Xiuyan's arm away, but Lin Xiuyan held on tightly and even turned her head to give her a smile.

Ye Qingwan: "..."

She had never seen anyone like Lin Xiuyan!

She took a deep breath and said, "You really are..."

Lin Xiuyan asked, "Am I really too cute?"

Ye Qingwan turned her head away, no longer wanting to talk to her.

Ye Junfei watched this scene from a distance, his gaze deepening.

Wu Dao said to him, "Young Master, I think that after you and Miss Lin get married, at least you won't have to worry about the relationship between you and your sister-in-law."

"The princess is such a difficult person, yet Miss Lin was able to handle her. She's truly amazing!"

If we're talking about who Wu Dao fears most in the Pingnan Prince's mansion, it's Xu Liaoye Junfei, and that would be Ye Qingwan.

These two siblings are heartless; they don't hesitate to harm people without any mercy. If things go wrong, they can cripple someone.

Ye Junfei remained silent, preoccupied with how to resolve the issue of the arranged marriage and how to bring Lin Xiuyan home as his wife.

Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue had a very bad impression of the Prince of Pingnan. Knowing his identity, they knew he probably wouldn't be willing to marry Lin Xiuyan to him.

He prided himself on his unparalleled wisdom and resourcefulness, but for a time he had no good way to deal with it.

Wu Dao asked him, "Young Master, shall we return to the Prince of Pingnan's residence?"

They originally planned to kill Zhou Chenyang and then return to the Prince of Pingnan's residence.

However, after so many unexpected events last night, things have been delayed until now, and Zhou Chenyang is still alive.

Ye Junfei's eyes narrowed slightly: "I'm not going back."

He knew that with Ye Jingxian here, there was no point in going back now.

If the imperial decree of marriage bestowed by the emperor had truly reached the Prince of Pingnan's residence, it would be the Prince of Pingnan who should be anxious and worried now.

After all, if he were to marry Princess Anle, his position in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion would be secure, and Ye Jingxian, whom the Pingnan Prince had painstakingly cultivated, would have no chance of inheriting his position.

The night view of Chongqing at this moment is leisurely, but the motives are impure.

Upon hearing Ye Junfei say that he wouldn't be returning to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, Wu Dao immediately ran off to help the Lin family with the relevant matters.

After all, he was still the heir of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, so he had to help his heir gain more favor in the Lin family.

After leaving the Lin residence, Ye Jingxian was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he dared not vent his anger.

The reason is simple: Ye Qingwan has dealt with him quite a bit over the years.

He suffered too many losses at her hands, and many people in the Prince's Palace Guard respected Ye Qingwan.

So much so that he didn't dare let the Prince's guards lay a hand on Ye Qingwan!

What angered him most was that even that little village girl surnamed Lin dared to do his bidding!

This feeling of frustration made Ye Jingxian want to kill someone!

Ye Jingxian, in a fit of anger, vented all her rage on Zhou Chenyang.

When Zhou Chenyang heard that Ye Jingxian, the second young master of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, had brought the Prince's guards to Yucheng, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

Because he knew perfectly well that what happened last night couldn't withstand scrutiny!

Although Ye Jingxian was ranked second, his status in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion was far higher than that of the heir apparent.

The Prince of Pingnan summoned Ye Jingxian, clearly intending to interrogate him.

Zhou Chenyang quickly tidied himself up and went to see Ye Jingxian.

Upon seeing him, Ye Jingxian said without a word, "Kneel down and give him ten strokes of the cane first."

Zhou Chenyang hadn't expected him to be so fierce, attacking the moment they met. He quickly said, "I am an official appointed by the imperial court, Second Young Master has no right to punish me!"

Ye Jingxian, enraged, wouldn't listen to him at all. The soldiers behind him simply pulled over a stool, dragged him up, and started beating him with a board.

Zhou Chenyang: "..."

He cursed inwardly, thinking that everyone in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion was a lunatic!
