Ye Qingwan could only shout, "Well said!"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at her sideways and said, "Shut up!"
"You just said men can't be trusted, but are you trustworthy yourself? You scumbag!"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
After being scolded by Lin Xiuyan, the brother and sister exchanged glances and snorted coldly.
Lin Xiuyan ignored them and asked Wu Ge, "Are any of the villagers injured?"
Wu Ge replied, "Although we had made preparations in advance, they arrived too quickly. A few civilians were injured, but they are not seriously injured."
Lin Xiuyan nodded slightly and said to Ye Qingwan, "Remember to compensate them for their losses and treat their injuries."
Ye Qingwan responded subconsciously.
Wu Ge's eyes darted back and forth between Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei, finally giving Lin Xiuyan a look of extreme admiration.
He shouted in his heart, "The Crown Princess is so powerful! She dares to reprimand the Crown Prince like that, and he still won't get angry!"
"I will definitely cling to the Crown Princess's coattails from now on!"
Lin Xiuyan noticed that the house that caught fire tonight was the main house where she and Ye Junfei lived.
The other houses were relatively far from the main house, and because Wu Ge and his men reacted quickly, the other houses were not affected.
It was only then that she realized that Ye Junfei's suggestion to take her out later was not to avoid Ye Qingwan, but to avoid the assassins sent by the Princess of Pingnan.
The fire in the main house was set by a villager who had been bribed by Princess Pingnan. That villager had already been captured by Wu Ge.
When Lin Xiuyan embraced Ye Junfei by the pool tonight, she felt incredibly sweet. But now, all that sweetness vanished.
Although she wasn't angry, she knew that the two of them hadn't known each other for long, and their past experiences were completely different. It would probably take some time before they could truly open their hearts to each other completely.
After scolding the two men, Lin Xiuyan's anger subsided. She put her hands on her hips and said, "They want to assassinate us, so let them try. It's not that easy!"
She turned to Wu Ge and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Please transport all these corpses back to the palace."
"If we use these corpses to cause them trouble, they will most likely not admit it, because there is no way to verify the truth when they are dead."
"Hang all these corpses at the entrance of the Prince's mansion, but don't make too much noise and don't alert the guards inside."
Wu Ge asked Lin Xiuyan, "What about these captured prisoners?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Of course, we'll sever their tendons and lock them up in a deserted place."
“Write another confession, put their fingerprints on it, and send another copy to the old hag.”
The assassins: "..."
They struggled desperately, but were held down tightly and couldn't move at all.
Wu Ge looked at Ye Junfei, who smiled faintly and said, "I'll listen to the Crown Princess."
Lin Xiuyan's approach was very similar to Ye Junfei's, and some details were even more interesting than he had originally planned.
Wu Ge nodded: "I'll make the arrangements right now!"
This is a difficult task, but he can do it.
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei both knew clearly that these few assassins alone were not enough to prove that the Princess of Pingnan had plotted against them.
After all, there was a Prince of Pingnan whose mind was completely biased, and he would do everything he could to suppress this matter.
Since this matter can't change the overall situation, we should at least annoy them once.
Lin Xiuyan wanted to let Princess Pingnan know that they had predicted her prediction and that they had a witness in their hands.
They could hand these things over to the Imperial Clan Head at any time and ask him to make a decision for them.
They could also distribute these things to the public, at which point Princess Pingnan would be disgraced.
In this way, even if this thing cannot play a substantial role, it can still disgust Princess Pingnan to no end.
The battle in the village came quickly and ended quickly.
The guards quickly cleaned up everything, all the corpses were removed, and all the captured survivors were locked up.
Lin Xiuyan hadn't slept all night because she was thinking about her date with Ye Junfei, and now that she'd been up for so long, she was exhausted.
The main house burned down, and although Ye Junfei had made arrangements for the earlier events, he had not made any arrangements for the later ones, so they had nowhere to stay for the time being.
Lin Xiuyan yawned and asked the village head's wife to let her stay at her house for the night.
When she arrived at the village head's house, she saw Wu Dao limping and guarding the door.
Lin Xiuyan asked him, "Are you injured?"
Wu Dao nodded first, then shook his head, leaving Lin Xiuyan completely bewildered.
Wu Dao explained, "My injury is a result of the accumulated punishments from not doing my job well before, not from those assassins."
Lin Xiuyan asked curiously, "Can this kind of punishment be accumulated?"
Wu Dao said with a bitter face, "Yeah, because if I attack them all at once, I'll really be beaten to death!"
Lin Xiuyan became even more curious: "Just how many military batons have you accumulated?"
After counting on his fingers, Wu Dao said, "Waaah, I can't figure it out, but it must be at least three hundred strokes!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She felt that Wu Dao was indeed a bit pitiful; three hundred strokes of the cane would probably break a person's bones.
She gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're amazing. You managed to collect so many military batons and still be alive."
"If you work hard and save up a little more, you might be able to collect a thousand lashes. Then you'll break your record for the most lashes you've ever received and become the guard who can take the most beatings!"
No Knife: "..."
The most resilient bodyguard? He didn't want that title at all!
Seeing Lin Xiuyan about to go inside, he quickly tugged at her sleeve and said, "Princess Consort, could you please plead with the Prince for me? Could you ask him to waive these beatings?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and asked, "Why should I plead for you? Do we even have a relationship?"
In retrospect, although they see each other often, they don't seem to have much of a relationship.
Wu Dao scratched his head when asked the question.
Lin Xiuyan found his expression amusing and said, "Since we have no connection, let's talk about benefits."
"If I plead with the Crown Prince on your behalf, what benefits will you offer me?"
Wu Dao scratched his head again, and after thinking for a while, said, "I only have five thousand taels of silver on hand, which is the money I have saved up over the years to get married."
"How about I give you all this silver? And you plead for me?"
Lin Xiuyan chuckled and said, "You know perfectly well that my family doesn't have much else, but we have plenty of money. Do you think I'd even look at your five thousand taels of silver?"
Wu Dao worriedly said, "But I have nothing of value on me except for silver."
Lin Xiuyan winked at him: "How about this, you do three things for me, and I'll plead with the prince on your behalf."
Wu Dao's eyes lit up at first, then he asked warily, "You're not going to sell me out, are you?"
He had been watching this all along very clearly; Lin Xiuyan's fighting prowess was off the charts, and he couldn't outsmart her with his brains.
Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you have that's worth the daughter of the richest man in Chongqing selling herself for, a poor wretch with only five thousand taels of silver?"
