Lin Xiuyan smiled faintly: "That's because we have different identities."
“You are the legitimate daughter of the Prince’s Mansion, and your marriage is in her hands. You also have the burden of being the Princess of the Prince’s Mansion.”
“Unlike me, I married into the royal family and am a spoiled brat. Who can expect a spoiled brat to do something kind and considerate?”
Ye Qingwan: "...That makes sense!"
After she finished speaking, she sighed, "If I had known that being a playboy had so many advantages, I would have become one myself!"
Over the years, she has carefully guarded what her mother left behind, surviving in the cracks of the Prince's mansion, and outwitting and outmaneuvering the Princess of Pingnan.
They had a very difficult time.
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "I can be a playboy because my father spoils me. Do you have a father who spoils you like that?"
Ye Qingwan: "...No."
Lin Xiuyan winked at her: "If you don't have a father like that, you'd better give up on these thoughts as soon as possible, otherwise you might get your legs broken."
Ye Qingwan: "..."
Although Lin Xiuyan's words were unpleasant to hear, they made sense.
If Ye Qingwan dared to do what Lin Xiuyan did today, the Prince and Princess of Pingnan would have dealt with her long ago.
She could only outwit and outmaneuver them; acting so openly and ostentatiously was simply impossible.
Her eyes were filled with envy as she looked at Lin Xiuyan, along with intense longing.
Lin Xiuyan got goosebumps from her gaze: "What are you going to do now?"
Ye Qingwan took Lin Xiuyan's hand and said, "Could you ask your father if he needs a daughter? I can be his daughter!"
Lin Xiuyan flung her hand away: "I don't need it! You want to steal my father? Dream on!"
After Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, she crossed her arms and strode away.
Ye Qingwan chuckled softly when she saw Lin Xiuyan's expression; she was genuinely envious of Lin Xiuyan.
With such loving parents, she can act so flamboyantly and recklessly.
As a princess of the royal family and a role model for the royal family, she had to follow the rules in every action.
She also discovered that Lin Xiuyan was very powerful and didn't need her protection at all.
However, it seems that wherever Lin Xiuyan is, the whole thing takes a very strange turn.
She liked it very much.
After walking a few dozen steps, Lin Xiuyan looked back. Ye Qingwan saw this and smiled slightly at her. Lin Xiuyan immediately turned around and walked even faster.
The way Ye Qingwan looked at her just now was truly terrifying!
When she returned to her residence, the doctor had already examined Granny Xu's condition and then reported back to the Princess of Pingnan:
Granny Xu had two ribs broken and three bones fractured by Lin Xiuyan's kick.
In addition, he had sixteen deep needle marks and several abrasions on his body.
In short, Granny Xu needs to rest in bed for at least six months.
Xu Mama was a maid who accompanied Princess Pingnan in her dowry, and the bond between them was extremely strong.
Princess Pingnan went to see Granny Xu in person. When she saw Granny Xu's bruised and swollen face, she saw her hands clenched into fists.
When Xu Mama saw her coming over, she sobbed softly, "This old servant is incompetent and has failed to complete the task assigned by the Princess."
Princess Pingnan comforted her, saying, "This matter is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is me for underestimating the enemy."
She was used to doing things according to all sorts of rules, so when she encountered Lin Xiuyan, who didn't follow any rules at all, she was at a great disadvantage.
Granny Xu said softly, "The Crown Princess is unruly and ruthless. Your Highness must be careful!"
Princess Pingnan nodded slightly and looked at Granny Xu, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
When Xu Mama heard this, she looked at Princess Pingnan with some surprise, and Princess Pingnan stared at her steadily.
She opened her mouth slightly, then struggled to sit up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Princess Pingnan said to her gently, "You should rest well."
Granny Xu responded and bowed to her.
As Princess Pingnan walked out, she sighed softly and clenched her fists even tighter.
Yan Nan followed behind her, head down, neck hunched, trying to minimize his presence.
Princess Pingnan asked Yan Nan, "Do you think I'm too cruel?"
Yan Nan hurriedly said, "Whatever the Princess Consort does is right."
Princess Pingnan smiled, but the smile aggravated the injury on her face, causing her to gasp in pain.
Lin Xiuyan didn't take the matter of Princess Pingnan visiting Granny Xu to heart at all, since Granny Xu was Princess Pingnan's person.
The reason why Granny Xu was beaten by Lin Xiuyan was simply because Princess Pingnan sent Granny Xu to make things difficult for Lin Xiuyan.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Qingwan immediately went to find Lin Xiuyan: "That old hag Pingnan, relying on her status as a princess, rarely goes to see the servants herself."
"This behavior is suspicious; you must be careful and wary."
Lin Xiuyan was a little puzzled: "Doesn't she usually present a gentle and kind image in front of others? What could be wrong with her going to see Granny Xu?"
Ye Qingwan replied, "Her gentleness is all an act. When it comes to ruthlessness, no one in the entire Prince's Mansion can match her."
"It's normal for her to have someone call a doctor for Granny Xu, send her tonics, and reward her with money. But it's not in line with her superior mentality to go to see Granny Xu herself."
"So if she goes there in person, she will definitely ask Granny Xu to do something."
She had fought with Princess Pingnan so many times that she had accumulated a lot of experience.
At the same time, she also spent a lot of time studying the personality of Princess Pingnan and learning about her various behaviors and habits.
Lin Xiuyan frowned slightly, and Ye Junfei said from the side, "Although she's always acting crazy, you can trust her judgment in this kind of matter."
Ye Qingwan glared at Ye Junfei: "Who's acting crazy all the time? I'm the most esteemed princess of the royal palace!"
Ye Junfei ignored her and said to Lin Xiuyan, "After I returned to the palace, I almost fell into the old witch's trap."
"The old hag is extremely ruthless; we must be careful."
Lin Xiuyan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you think the old witch would ask Granny Xu to do if she went to see Granny Xu?"
Ye Junfei and Ye Qingwan said in unison, "Let her die."
Ye Qingwan glanced at Ye Junfei: "Hey, you've improved!"
Ye Junfei ignored her and said only, "If she dies, the old hag can say that you forced her to her death."
"Once this matter spreads throughout the Prince's mansion, and the old hag uses some tricks to release some information outside, her reputation for cruelty and bloodthirstiness will be solidified."
Ye Qingwan then said, "It's not that she's cruel and bloodthirsty, but that she forced the princess's maid to her death as soon as she married into the royal palace. She's both cruel and bloodthirsty and has no respect for her elders."
This time, Ye Junfei did not refute, but only glanced at Ye Qingwan.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "That sounds quite reasonable. If Granny Xu dies, I'll really be in some trouble."
She knew that the women in the inner quarters who could maintain their positions and become experts in the power struggles within the household were all quite skilled.
However, there aren't many people like Princess Pingnan who would kill her favorite concubine at the slightest disagreement.
