Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "You flatter me, Mother."
There were so many people and so many people at the wedding yesterday that she couldn't get a good look at the Princess of Pingnan.
Upon seeing her, one could see that Princess Pingnan looked gentle and dignified, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
Princess Pingnan has very beautiful features. Although there are wrinkles around her eyes, you can still tell that she must have been an exceptionally beautiful woman in her youth.
Lin Xiuyan knew that the Princess Consort of Pingnan was definitely not as gentle as she was showing at the moment.
Their new house was decorated by the Princess of Pingnan, so the Princess of Pingnan is the prime suspect in the poisoning incident.
Furthermore, the Princess Consort of Pingnan had a motive for poisoning: she wanted her own son to inherit the throne of the Prince of Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Lin Xiuyan's hand: "I liked you very much when I first saw you yesterday."
"You did what the entire Prince's Mansion wanted to do but dared not do; your courage is commendable."
"From now on, you will be a great contributor to the Prince's mansion. Now that you've just married into the family, just tell me what you need and don't be shy."
She had prepared two plans before meeting Lin Xiuyan.
One plan was to give Lin Xiuyan a hard time and deflate her arrogance.
When the Prince of Pingnan failed in his attempt, she switched to another strategy: to flatter him to death.
Lin Xiuyan's actions last night, and her reaction just now, both seemed impulsive to her.
In the eyes of Princess Pingnan, if this personality trait is used properly, she can make Lin Xiuyan not even know how she died.
Lin Xiuyan found her words pleasing to the ear, but they were full of deliberate flattery.
If she truly places herself in the position of a great contributor to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and acts arrogantly within the mansion, the first person to deal with her will likely be the Pingnan Prince's Consort.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I'm really not used to it. The bed is too hard, and the mattress is uncomfortable."
"And the furnishings in the house are all too old and dilapidated. I want a whole new set."
"By the way, the main problem is the mirrors in the room. They're not reflecting people clearly anymore. We use glass mirrors imported from Southeast Asia. Mother, please replace them as well!"
Princess Pingnan's smile froze slightly. Couldn't she tell that this was just polite talk? How dare she bring that up!
However, since the Princess Consort of Pingnan had already spoken, she couldn't object now. She even smiled and said, "That's how family should be. If you have any requests, just say them directly."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Mother is truly beautiful, kind-hearted, intelligent, and generous! I won't be so polite to Mother in the future."
Princess Consort of Pingnan: "..."
Thank you! But please be more polite!
Princess Pingnan never expected Lin Xiuyan to have such a carefree and unruly personality!
As for what Lin Xiuyan just mentioned, it would take several thousand taels of silver to procure them all!
Although the Pingnan Prince's Mansion controls the entire Liefeng Prefecture, the prefecture is not wealthy and its tax revenue is limited.
Although the Prince's Mansion looks splendid, it is not as glamorous as it appears!
The maid brought in the tea, and Lin Xiuyan served it to them according to custom.
Princess Consort of Pingnan was naturally kind and gentle, and although Prince Pingnan had a dark expression, he did not make things difficult for them.
Because he knew that if he made things difficult for them, given their personalities, he would definitely be the one who got angry in the end!
So the Prince of Pingnan directly asked Ye Junfei, "It is said that Zhou Chenyang was mining a mountain, and you took all the iron blocks he smelted?"
"Many of the weapons in Liefeng Prefecture are no longer sharp enough. Give me an address and I will send someone to transport the iron back."
Lin Xiuyan thought that the Prince of Pingnan was really shameless. How could he say such things so confidently?
She was also curious about where the iron blocks had gone, so she listened carefully.
Ye Junfei looked at the Prince of Pingnan in shock and said, "Didn't I send people back to the Prince's residence a long time ago? Father didn't receive them?"
The Prince of Pingnan frowned: "When did you send it back? How come I didn't know?"
Ye Junfei replied confidently, "When I discovered that Zhou Chenyang had hoarded a lot of iron blocks, I made him send them all back to the Prince of Pingnan's residence."
"I was afraid that Zhou Chenyang would play tricks on me halfway, so I sent a message to my father and asked him to send someone to meet me."
"What? Father, haven't you received this message?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyan knew that Ye Junfei was talking nonsense with a straight face again.
The Prince of Pingnan frowned even more deeply: "How did you deliver the message?"
Ye Junfei replied, "It was transmitted via the message transmission channel that my father assigned to me." (Biquge)
Prince Pingnan: "..."
His expression was somewhat strange.
When Ye Junfei left the Pingnan Prince's mansion, the Pingnan Prince required him to send a message back to the mansion every day.
Ye Junfei agreed and did indeed send messages to the Prince of Pingnan every day, but the messages were very perfunctory.
He didn't send anything else, but sent the Prince of Pingnan a erotic picture every day.
At first, the Prince of Pingnan would check the messages he sent every day, but after seeing them, he was furious and cursed Ye Junfei for being shameless.
He even sent someone to reprimand Ye Junfei, but the person he sent never returned, and Ye Junfei continued to do as he pleased.
Over time, the Prince of Pingnan, worn down by Ye Junfei's antics, gave up and became indifferent, no longer bothering to read the messages Ye Junfei sent back.
At this moment, as soon as Ye Junfei spoke, the Prince of Pingnan ordered his men to retrieve all the messages that Ye Junfei had sent back.
When the news was revealed, the expressions of Princess Pingnan and Lin Xiuyan were somewhat subtle. After exchanging a glance, they both looked up at the sky, feeling awkward yet polite.
Among that pile of things, the Prince of Pingnan actually found the message about the iron block that Ye Junfei had sent.
Ye Junfei looked at the Prince of Pingnan and said, "My father asks me to send messages every day. Don't you even read them when I send them back?"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
Of all the messages Ye Junfei sent back, apart from that one, which one was of value?
He strongly suspected that Ye Junfei did it on purpose!
He gritted his teeth, threw a piece of paper in front of Ye Junfei, and said, "Look at what you sent before!"
Ye Junfei reached out and took the paper, saying slowly, "I spend my days traveling and sightseeing, nothing special."
“My father told me to send you messages every day, but where am I going to get so many messages to send?”
“When I returned from the capital, the Emperor gave me a lot of these picture albums, and I thought that my father was in good health and could still give me a few more younger brothers and sisters.”
"In the spirit of making use of waste, I sent one to my father every day. I never expected that my father would not even look at it despite all my efforts. It hurts me so much!"
Lin Xiuyan's lips twitched; this kind of recycling was truly ingenious.
The Prince of Pingnan was speechless after hearing Ye Junfei's words.
Let's curse Ye Junfei; he did indeed send the message back.
If I don't scold him, I feel suffocated inside, and I'm so angry at Ye Junfei!
He asked Ye Junfei directly, "Where exactly are those iron blocks?"
