Granny Xu, wanting to protect her mistress, came to help Princess Pingnan, but instead of driving away the wasps, she also overturned the entire food box.
The overturned food box instantly swarmed with cicadas, turtles, and green worms.
As a result, wasps were flying above the room, and cicadas and worms were crawling below.
To avoid wasps, Princess Pingnan stepped on a fleshy worm on the ground.
The worm burst open, and the green juice splashed not only onto her delicate embroidered shoes, but also onto the surface of her pearl-adorned shoes.
She was used to a life of luxury and had never seen anything like this before. It made her so disgusted that she almost threw up.
Then a wasp flew over and stung her again, causing her to scream in pain.
Although the Princess Consort of Pingnan was usually served by more than ten maids, none of them had ever seen anything like this before.
They used to be terrified whenever they saw one of these things, but now the room was crawling with black and green worms, and they all screamed in fright.
Lin Xiuyan walked out of the courtyard where the Princess of Pingnan was located. She could hear the screams coming from inside from a great distance. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Although releasing insects is a rather low-class thing to do, it doesn't matter; doing this kind of thing is very much in line with her playboy persona.
Moreover, she can cover up the matter herself and won't be made difficult by others pointing out her obvious mistakes.
She turned her head to look at the residence of the Princess of Pingnan and said with a smile, "Princess, have a good time."
When she returned to her parents' home, the Princess Consort of Pingnan said she wanted to give her a surprise, and she felt that it was more appropriate for her to do the surprise herself.
After all, she was very experienced, so giving the Princess of Pingnan a big surprise was not difficult for her.
When she returned to Ye Junfei's residence, Yan Jiushu was still there. Hearing the commotion outside, he asked with some surprise, "What's going on?"
Ye Junfei glanced at Lin Xiuyan; needless to say, she had definitely gone to cause trouble again.
Judging from this commotion, it seems like things have gotten quite serious.
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a little surprise for the old hag."
Yan Jiushu looked at her with a slightly puzzled expression: "What surprise?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled but remained silent, and Yan Jiushu and Ye Junfei soon found out.
Because a quarter of an hour later, the Prince of Pingnan personally led a group of people to question him.
His face was extremely ugly at this moment. He pointed at Lin Xiuyan and said, "How dare you plot against the Princess!"
Ye Junfei clutched his chest and sat up in bed, then slowly got out of bed.
No matter what Lin Xiuyan did, he would not allow the Prince of Pingnan to lay a hand on her.
Lin Xiuyan asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mean by that, Father? When did I plot against the Princess?"
"Stop pretending!" the Prince of Pingnan roared. "It's one thing to release a bunch of bugs to scare the Princess, but you even dared to release bugs to bite her!"
"I'm innocent!" Lin Xiuyan said aggrievedly, "Those were all Chongqing specialties that I brought for the Princess."
"These are insects, but they are edible. They're delicious when fried in oil!"
The Prince of Pingnan slammed his hand on the table and said, "You still dare to argue?"
Lin Xiuyan immediately hid behind Ye Junfei and said, "I'm not making excuses, I'm stating the facts!"
“After I married into the royal family, the princess treated me very well. When I returned to my parents’ home, I was thinking about what kind of local specialties to bring for the princess.”
“The princess is of noble status, and ordinary items cannot catch her eye, so I thought of these things.”
“Father, don’t underestimate those things. It’s not the season yet. A cicada nymph costs ten copper coins, and that plate cost me more than ten taels of silver.”
"And the plate of bean caterpillars, which I bought at a high price, a full eight taels of silver!"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
Was he talking to Lin Xiuyan about money?
He gritted his teeth and said, "How could such filthy things be presented to the Princess?"
Lin Xiuyan asked with a puzzled look, "Those are all delicacies from Chongqing, how can they be considered filthy?"
"The people of Chongqing can eat it, so surely the Princess Consort can't stand to see it?" (cascoo.net)
"My father always says he wants to share weal and woe with the people, but is that just empty talk?"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He was absolutely furious!
He discovered that Lin Xiuyan's mouth was even more infuriating than Ye Junfei's!
The Prince of Pingnan pointed at Ye Junfei and said, "Is this how you usually manage your wife?"
While coughing up blood, Ye Junfei said, "A wife is meant to be cherished, not controlled."
Prince Pingnan: "!!!!!!!"
If he arrived with only five points of anger, they have successfully pushed him to ten.
He was so angry that his hand trembled as he pointed at Ye Junfei: "You...you unfilial son!"
Ye Junfei looked at the Prince of Pingnan with a cold gaze and said, "Father usually dotes on the Princess Consort, doesn't he? I learned this from Father."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He couldn't help but wonder if letting Ye Junfei marry Lin Xiuyan would be a more terrifying decision than marrying Princess Anle.
After all, Lin Xiuyan has only been in the Prince's mansion for less than three days, yet she has already accomplished so much!
He said coldly, "A woman like her, who brings disaster to the household, is not worthy of being the Crown Prince's consort!"
"If she continues like this, you may divorce her!"
Ye Junfei asked, "Divorcing a wife is a serious matter. May I ask, Father, which family rule of the royal palace did Xiuyan violate, or which of the seven grounds for divorce?"
The Prince of Pingnan said coldly, "She disrespects her parents-in-law, so she should be divorced!"
Ye Junfei chuckled lightly: "She disrespects her parents-in-law? May I ask, Father, did she fail to bow when she saw you, or did she forget to bring you gifts when she went out?"
"Or perhaps she's being unreasonable and talking back?"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He was asked the question.
Because Lin Xiuyan always greeted him and Princess Pingnan according to the rules, and she never overstepped the bounds in any way.
Lin Xiuyan said loudly, "If Father King is concerned about the gift I brought to the Princess today, then it is even more unreasonable."
"As I just said, I reminded the princess several times to take the food down and cook it, but she simply wouldn't listen to me."
"My good intentions were to let the princess eat the best food, which can be described as filial piety that moves heaven and earth."
"It's the Princess who has been ignoring my feelings, which has led to this situation. This can't be blamed on me at all, can it?"
The Prince of Pingnan was so angry he nearly fell over, pointing at her and saying, "Sharp-tongued!"
Lin Xiuyan said aggrievedly, "I was just stating the facts, how is that being sharp-tongued?"
"Does Father think that no matter what crimes you accuse me of, I have no choice but to accept them?"
"If that's the case, then Father, punish me!"
Ye Junfei said from the side, "If Father wants to punish Xiuyan, then punish me as well!"
"But I'm not convinced by this, so I can only ask my great-uncle to stand up for me."
The Prince of Pingnan was so angry that his heart ached. Were these two scoundrels trying to anger him to death by singing in concert?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! You're all very good!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
