The other went to help Yu Feiyan up: "Miss, are you alright?"
It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed with diners.
This sudden turn of events immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yu Feiyan was helped to her feet by her maid. She angrily said, "Lin Xiuyan, what right do you have to hit me?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Because you struck first!"
Yu Feiyan naturally wouldn't admit to hitting her at this point, and shouted, "I was walking peacefully on the stairs, and you threw me down, and you still think you're right?"
Lin Xiuyan knew that arguing with someone like Yu Feiyan was utterly pointless.
She rolled up her sleeves, pondering how to cripple Yu Feiyan without causing trouble for her family.
Yu Feiyan screamed in fright as soon as she saw Lin Xiuyan roll up her sleeves, after all, Lin Xiuyan had done the same thing in Qizhen Garden last time, and then beat her up badly.
Yu Feiyan took more than ten steps back to the side and shouted, "You're just an unreasonable person!"
"You're a woman, yet you go out fighting every day! You're absolutely heartless and ruthless!"
"Xinrou is your cousin, yet you plotted against her like that. You're not even human!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyan knew that Yu Feiyan, that idiot, was trying to stand up for Jiang Xinrou again.
She really didn't need to be polite at all when dealing with this kind of person.
She walked towards Yu Feiyan: "Unreasonable? Heartless? Unfaithful to family?"
"It seems you have some misunderstanding about these words, and I need to help you strengthen your memory."
The fear from the previous beating resurfaced in Yu Feiyan's mind, and she cried out in alarm, "Don't come any closer!"
"You think you're right to hit someone and then you're justified!"
After she finished speaking, she said to the onlookers, "Aren't you going to do anything about Lin Xiuyan's intention to hit someone?"
"You deserve to be hit." A female voice came from the side.
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised. She turned her head and saw a woman dressed in a snow-white dress standing not far away.
She was wearing a veil, so her face was not visible.
Besides a maid, she was accompanied by several guards dressed in tight-fitting clothes, who looked like they were not to be trifled with.
Lin Xiuyan did not know her.
Yu Feiyan stared wide-eyed and asked, "Who are you? What gives you the right to talk to me like that!"
The woman's voice was very cold: "I was right behind you just now, and I saw you hit Lin Xiuyan with my own eyes."
"Lin Xiuyan reacted quickly and fought back when you attacked her."
"If she had reacted any slower, she probably would have not only been hit by you, but also pushed down the stairs by your maid."
"Because I just overheard you and your maid discussing how you said Lin Xiuyan was unfaithful after you pushed her down the stairs."
"She had already hooked up with that man beside her before breaking off her engagement with Zhou Chenyang. She's an absolute slut."
Yu Feiyan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Who is this deity? That's a truly brilliant statement. (M.cascoo.net)
Yu Feiyan angrily retorted, "What are you? What nonsense are you spouting?"
The woman calmly ordered, "Slap him."
Her maidservant responded and slapped Yu Feiyan twice across the face.
Yu Feiyan was so angry that her face contorted: "My father is a high-ranking official in Yucheng, how dare you hit me!"
The woman did not speak, but her maid announced loudly, "My young lady is Ye Qingwan, the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Pingnan."
As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell silent.
Yu Feiyan's expression was rather unpleasant.
Lin Xiuyan was also somewhat surprised. She had heard of Ye Qingwan's name in her previous life, but had never met her.
In her previous life, when she was abducted by Ye Junfei and taken to the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, Ye Qingwan was already dead, so she didn't know anything about Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan asked Yu Feiyan through the veil, "Did I lie just now?"
Yu Feiyan's face flushed red. She could slander Lin Xiuyan, but she dared not say that Ye Qingwan was lying.
She instinctively wanted to leave, but was firmly stopped by Ye Qingwan's maid: "My princess is asking you a question!"
Yu Feiyan could only reply, "No."
After she finished speaking, she slipped away again. Ye Qingwan then said, "Apologize."
Yu Feiyan dared not disobey her, so she could only say, "I'm sorry, Princess, I misspoke just now."
Ye Qingwan said coldly, "Apologize not to me, but to Lin Xiuyan."
Yu Feiyan was indignant and wanted to say something, but Ye Qingwan said coldly, "You have ulterior motives and are even slandering Lin Xiuyan."
"If you don't apologize, then we'll have to deal with you according to the law."
Her maidservant said, "According to the laws of our Great Chu, maliciously framing or slandering others is punishable by one hundred strokes of the cane and then exile for three thousand li!"
Yu Feiyan's face turned extremely pale. She gritted her teeth and said to Lin Xiuyan, "I'm sorry!"
Although Lin Xiuyan didn't understand what the turning point was today, it didn't stop her from continuing to be a spoiled brat: "Are you a mosquito? Your voice is so soft, I can't hear you."
Yu Feiyan could only loudly say, "I'm sorry!"
Lin Xiuyan said with a look of disgust, "You're saying sorry with such murderous intent. Are you apologizing or insulting me?"
Yu Feiyan: "..."
She had never met anyone more difficult than Lin Xiuyan. The key point was that now that Ye Qingwan was standing up for Lin Xiuyan, she dared not go too far.
She could only take a deep breath, trying to appear sincere, and said in a low voice, "Lin Xiuyan, I'm sorry!"
Lin Xiuyan asked Fan Xilou, "Did you hear her apology?"
Fan Xilou readily agreed, saying, "No."
Yu Feiyan wanted to cry, and her voice rose considerably, tinged with sobs: "Lin Xiuyan, I'm sorry!"
Lin Xiuyan put her hands on her hips and said, "Fine, I heard you, but I don't accept your apology. I'll hit you again next time I see you. Get lost!"
Yu Feiyan: "..."
She originally wanted to stand up for Jiang Xinrou, but she was not only beaten by Lin Xiuyan, but also had to apologize, losing all face.
She and her maidservant ran away quickly, wiping away their tears.
Lin Xiuyan bowed slightly to Ye Qingwan and said, "Thank you for speaking up for justice, Princess!"
Ye Qingwan said calmly, "Since you want to thank me, then show your sincerity."
"I plan to stay in Chongqing for a while, but I don't have a place to stay yet."
"I've heard that the Lin family has quite a few residences. I suppose it wouldn't be difficult to prepare a courtyard for me to stay in for a few days?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She really didn't want to deal with the people from the Prince of Pingnan's mansion. It was bad enough that Ye Junfei was already living in the Lin mansion, but if Ye Qingwan came along, the Lin mansion would probably be in chaos!
Ye Qingwan asked her, "You don't want to?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but the young master also lives in the Lin residence, and the Lin residence doesn't have any extra courtyards..."
"That would be even better," Ye Qingwan said calmly. "It would make it easier for me and my brother to develop our relationship."
"You don't need to make any special arrangements. My brother and I can just live together."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Are all people with the surname Ye this domineering and unreasonable?
Ye Qingwan walked to Ye Junfei's side and said, "Forcing yourself to stay at a young lady's house, how shameless!"
Ye Junfei: "..."
