Ye Junfei sneered: "But you'll suffer quite a bit."
Commander Xu looked at him, and Ye Junfei added, "Although Princess Anle is ruthless, she is a smart person."
“Xu Qianting is more valuable alive than dead, after all, he can use Xu Qianting to threaten Xiuyan, and also to coerce the Xu family to work for him.”
Commander Xu looked at Ye Junfei with some surprise: "Master Ye, did you know Princess Anle before?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I had dealings with him when I was a hostage in the capital."
This sentence startled Commander Xu.
In the entire Liefeng Prefecture, only the Prince of Pingnan's heir had been a hostage in the capital. He looked at Lin Xiuyan with some surprise.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Lord Xu is not mistaken, he is indeed the heir of the Prince of Pingnan."
Commander Xu hurriedly bowed to Ye Junfei and said, "I was unaware of the young master's identity before. Please forgive me if I have been impolite!"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "Saving Xu Qianting is fine, but your wife almost killed my wife today. This can't be forgiven by simply coming to apologize."
Commander Xu, his scalp tingling, said, "My wife's actions today were indeed inappropriate; I will accept any punishment from the Crown Prince!"
Ye Junfei snorted lightly, looking at Lin Xiuyan: "You can overlook this, but I can't."
"I finally managed to marry a wife, and this old woman almost killed me. How can this be forgiven with just a few words? She has to die."
Commander Xu: "..."
The crown prince seems to be quite different from what he expected.
He wanted to plead for mercy, but he was too ashamed to do so, since Madam Xu had indeed almost killed Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan looked up at the sky.
Xu Qianting is not in immediate danger, so saving him is not urgent. Lin Xiuyan decided to return to the Lin residence first and then make a more detailed plan.
Before returning to the Lin residence, Lin Xiuyan wanted to find a place to change into clean clothes so that Lin Yunzhi wouldn't worry.
Ye Junfei smiled faintly: "Now you know you're worried about your family and need to get yourself ready before going home. Where was your brain before?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
This man's words today were really too strange and unpredictable.
Ye Junfei added, "Unless you have some medicine that can heal the wounds on your face with a single application, I will expose your past if Father asks."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Men who complain to their parents are so annoying!
She glared at him, then reached out and touched her scraped face from rolling down the hillside, looking somewhat dejected.
The injury is too obvious to be concealed.
She could only say, "Let's go straight home, but don't exaggerate! I'm fine now!"
Ye Junfei smiled: "Yes, you're doing well now. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would be dead by now."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She was very unhappy with what she heard, but she couldn't refute it.
She grinned at him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"
Ye Junfei asked, "Do you want me to repay your life-saving debt with my body tonight?"
Lin Xiuyan hummed a little tune, pretending not to hear what he said.
When the two returned to the Lin residence, Lin Yunzhi was shocked to see Lin Xiuyan in such a disheveled state, with her face scraped and bruised. He quickly asked what had happened.
After she gave a brief explanation, Lin Yunzhi became furious and wanted to lead his men to attack the Xu residence. She managed to persuade him to stay.
Qu Shuangyue frowned and said, "This matter cannot be left like this. After we rescue Xu Qianting, I will tear Xu Madam's mouth apart!"
She didn't even need to ask; she knew that Madam Xu would definitely say something very unpleasant.
She was extremely glad that she hadn't married Lin Xiuyan off to Xu Qianting. Having a mother-in-law like Madam Xu was disgusting.
Although the Princess Consort of Pingnan wasn't exactly a saint either, the advantage was that she wasn't Ye Junfei's biological mother, so dealing with her wasn't a problem.
She found Ye Junfei more agreeable.
Lin Xiuyan wanted Qu Shuangyue to help her apply the medicine, but Qu Shuangyue said with a look of disgust, "Being tricked out is your own fault. You'll have to bear the consequences of your own injuries."
"You want me to apply the medicine for you? No way! Xiaoye, you're not allowed to apply the medicine for her either."
As she spoke, she dragged Lin Yunzhi out.
Lin Yunzhi: "..."
He could tell that his wife was extremely satisfied with Ye Junfei as her son-in-law.
As soon as they left, Ye Junfei gently applied the medicine for her, saying as he did so, "I really envy you."
"She has such wonderful parents who dote on her, and such a wonderful husband who protects her."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
He praised her parents, fine, but why did he also praise himself?
She strongly suspected that he just wanted to praise himself.
The medicine was applied to the wound, and it hurt so much that she hissed softly.
Ye Junfei said gently, "It will be ready soon."
After he finished speaking, he applied a thick layer of ointment to her wound.
Lin Xiuyan said speechlessly, "This medicine is very troublesome to make, we can't waste it!"
After she finished speaking, she tried to apply the medicine herself, but he reached out and cupped her face, staring straight at her.
She felt a little uneasy under his gaze and tried to turn her head away, but he held her head tightly, preventing her from doing so.
Lin Xiuyan grew anxious: "Young Master, what are you going to do now?"
Ye Junfei asked her, "If I were ever kidnapped, would you come to my rescue?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "Young Master, you should think more about yourself!"
"Besides, with your skills, who could possibly catch you? Anyone who tries to catch you is asking for trouble!"
Ye Junfei's captivating peach blossom eyes seemed exceptionally affectionate at this moment, staring intently at her as if he could steal her soul.
Her breathing became more rapid involuntarily, and her heartbeat quickened.
She knew that if she didn't give him a definite answer at this moment, he wouldn't let go.
She could only say, "If that day ever comes, I will do everything in my power to save you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Junfei kissed her on the lips and said, "That's more like it."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
I'm so tired!
Ye Junfei continued to carefully apply the medicine to her, his movements much gentler than before.
He said calmly, "Anle, despite being a princess, will use any despicable means."
"Although Xu Qianting has some value, he won't kill him directly."
"But he suffered a great loss at your hands today, and I reckon the blame will fall entirely on Xu Qianting..."
He smiled slightly as he said this: "I reckon Xu Qianting will be in for a rough time."
Lin Xiuyan's expression changed slightly: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ye Junfei said unhurriedly, "What good would it do to tell you? Can you rescue Xu Qianting immediately?"
"Don't forget, you almost died today, and I was the one who saved you."
Lin Xiuyan couldn't refute his words.
She looked at him, and his tone was indifferent: "It's not impossible for me to help you save Xu Qianting, but I have one condition."
Lin Xiuyan didn't want to ask him what his conditions were, knowing full well that they wouldn't be anything good.
Rescuing Xu Qianting would not be easy for her with her abilities alone.
