Upon hearing Lin Xiuyan's thanks, Ye Junfei gave a light snort, put his hands behind his back, and looked extremely arrogant.

Lin Xiuyan found his expression somewhat amusing.

After spending a long time with him, Lin Xiuyan discovered that although he had a lot of bad habits, he wasn't bad when he wasn't going crazy.

After Ye Junfei got into the carriage with her, he found that her carriage was filled with a bunch of messy things.

He asked her, "You're not planning to storm into the city lord's mansion all by yourself and forcibly rescue Xu Qianting, are you?"

Lin Xiuyan nodded: "That's right, what else?"

Ye Junfei: "..."

He really didn't know what to say to her. This wasn't about saving someone; it was clearly suicide!

He glanced at her sideways and said, "You're really bold."

Lin Xiuyan raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of a smile in her eyes: "It's alright, but the main thing is that if I led people to storm the city lord's mansion, that would basically be considered a rebellion."

"Besides, the Lin family only has a few servants and they don't have the ability to directly storm the city lord's mansion, so we can only outsmart them."

Ye Junfei asked her, "Then how do you plan to outsmart me?"

Lin Xiuyan replied, "I haven't decided yet; I'll just have to improvise!" (M.cascoo.net)

Ye Junfei: "..."

He knew that she had a reckless streak in her bones, and that she would rather use her hands than her words.

But if she tells him to improvise at a time like this, she's definitely just teasing him.

He originally wanted to tell her that he had sent Wu Dao to rescue Xu Qianting, but now he really wanted to see how she performed.

He then said, "Is that so? Then we'll wait and see."

Lin Xiuyan smiled and began fiddling with her pile of miscellaneous things in the carriage.

Ye Junfei saw that the things were all kinds of things, including powder, cloth, and some strange things.

He saw a small round ball and became curious. He reached out to touch it, but was slapped away by someone: "Don't touch it."

"Poisonous?" Ye Junfei asked curiously.

Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "No...it's...this can't be explained for now. You'll understand when you see it."

Ye Junfei became even more curious, and Lin Xiuyan, seeing his interested expression, had no choice but to explain, "These things are dangerous, you can't touch them."

Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow. Since she was so serious, this thing must be quite special, so he withdrew his hand.

When the two arrived at the city lord's mansion, the guards on duty felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Lin Xiuyan: "What are you doing here?"

These two guards were not the same ones who had made things difficult for her before, so she smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to see the city lord, I'm here to see Jiang Xinrou."

Everyone knows that Jiang Xinrou grew up in the Lin family, but the Lin family has severed ties with her.

Lin Xiuyan's visit to Jiang Xinrou at this time is most likely not for good news.

Lin Xiuyan noticed their worry and smiled, saying, "I only realized how difficult it is for women after I got married."

"Even if my cousin and I had some disagreements in the past, that's all in the past."

When the guard heard her say this and saw that she was carrying a large bundle, which made her look like she was visiting relatives, he sent someone to announce her arrival.

Sure enough, news soon came that Jiang Xinrou had let Lin Xiuyan in.

Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly; she knew Jiang Xinrou would let her in.

Jiang Xinrou wasn't entirely useless.

As soon as Lin Xiuyan reached the entrance to the backyard, she saw Jiang Xinrou standing there with a maid.

At this moment, Jiang Xinrou was clearly dressed up in her finest attire, with several luxurious hair ornaments in her hair, a large gold bracelet on her wrist, and a gemstone necklace around her neck.

Judging from his appearance, he was waiting for Lin Xiuyan.

Upon seeing her appearance, Lin Xiuyan exclaimed, "Cousin, I've missed you so much these past few days!"

After she finished speaking, she rushed to Jiang Xinrou and hugged her tightly.

Jiang Xinrou was surprised by Lin Xiuyan's enthusiasm, and she couldn't hide her pride.

It must be that Lin Xiuyan realized she hadn't married well after her marriage, and now she's trying to curry favor with her.

She suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of superiority.

She glanced at Lin Xiuyan sideways and said, "Are you regretting how you treated me before and want to mend our relationship?"

She had already decided that if Lin Xiuyan thought that way, she would put on airs and thoroughly humiliate Lin Xiuyan.

Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "No, I came to see how miserable you are. Seeing you look like a haggard old woman makes me so happy!"

Jiang Xinrou: "!!!!!!!!!"

Lin Xiuyan married a penniless man, and he actually had the nerve to come and laugh at her!

She immediately pushed Lin Xiuyan away and sneered, "I'm a haggard old woman? Look at yourself, what a mess you look like now!"

"You've only just gotten married, and you already have injuries on your face. Your husband must have hit you!"

Lin Xiuyan touched the abrasions on her face; these injuries could easily be mistaken for domestic violence.

Seeing Lin Xiuyan like this, Jiang Xinrou felt even more certain that she had guessed correctly.

She gave Ye Junfei, who was standing next to Lin Xiuyan, a very critical look and said, "You're a leopard that can't change its spots!"

"You've always liked good-looking men since you were little, no wonder you got tricked by this guy surnamed Ye!"

"Lin Xiuyan, just admit it. You came to my door today because you need something from me."

Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I need your help? You could say that!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xinrou was overjoyed: "If you need something from me, you have to act like you need something from me!"

She pointed to her shoes and said, "Lick my shoes clean first!"

Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Jiang Xinrou really had some wild ideas.

Jiang Xinrou saw Lin Xiuyan smiling and thought it was a forced smile, which made her even more smug: "I don't know what trouble you've gotten yourself into."

"What I'm telling you is that no matter how much money the Lin family has, they are still lowly merchants."

"And you, you've always been inferior to me in everything since childhood. Even the man you like, I can just snap my fingers and he's mine."

"He is now the city lord of Yucheng, personally appointed by the emperor, and also the second-in-command of Liezhou. His status is extremely prominent!"

"You're so spoiled and willful, you only deserve to marry a dog of a man who's good for nothing except his looks!"

Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow slightly, and said to Lin Xiuyan with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "Wife, she scolded me!"

Before Lin Xiuyan could speak, Jiang Xinrou said smugly, "So what if I insulted you? What can you do about it?"

“I am the wife of a city lord of high status, while you are just a lowly commoner!”

Ye Junfei looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "She's still cursing at me!"

Lin Xiuyan thought the term "dog man" was quite fitting to describe Ye Junfei at times, and she listened with great interest.

She smiled and asked Jiang Xinrou, "Is Zhou Chenyang awake? Do you still have your child? Can he still let you have children?"

These three questions made Jiang Xinrou's face turn pale.
