When Ye Junfei came out, he saw the two of them chatting and laughing as they went to the field to pick vegetables, and his eyes unconsciously softened.
Lin Xiuyan was annoyed that he hadn't told her about the bet he made with Ye Qingwan; in fact, he had his own plans.
Ye Qingwan seemed easy to get along with, and she handled everything meticulously, always protecting Lin Xiuyan.
However, he knew that Ye Qingwan's previous protection of Lin Xiuyan was only because Lin Xiuyan was his wife, so he would take care of Lin Xiuyan.
This care lacked genuine concern.
After what happened last night, Ye Qingwan realized how much Lin Xiuyan cared for her, and from then on, she would treat Lin Xiuyan with all her heart.
From now on, the three of them will truly be a family.
He recalled the colorful ropes he had lost to Ye Qingwan, and he felt that he was the one who had truly suffered a loss last night.
The day was calm and peaceful.
The next morning, Ye Junfei took Lin Xiuyan to Chongqing.
Ye Qingwan stayed behind to cover for them.
Before leaving the manor, Lin Xiuyan glanced back at Ye Qingwan, who smiled and waved to her.
For some reason, Lin Xiuyan felt uneasy about leaving this time.
Ye Junfei asked her, "Is there something wrong?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiuyan finally said to him, "Do you still remember the dream I told you about before?"
Ye Junfei nodded: "Qingwan in your dream?"
Lin Xiuyan knew he had always been very perceptive, so she said, "No, Qingwan wasn't in that dream."
Ye Junfei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, his expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "In my dream, I met you later than I do now, about two months after we first met."
"If we calculate the time, we first met in the dream a few days later. When I saw you, Qingwan was not there."
"Moreover, in my dream, I never heard anyone mention Qingwan, and almost everyone in the Prince's mansion was dead."
Ye Junfei's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Wu Dao, you stay here to protect the princess."
Wu Dao responded, and Ye Junfei added, "Go back to the manor quietly, without letting anyone know, and protect the princess from the shadows."
Although Wu Dao was somewhat confused, he still followed Ye Junfei's instructions.
Lin Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ye Junfei's arrangements.
Before she spoke of this, she was somewhat worried that Ye Junfei would think it was just a dream and not take it seriously.
Because of her rebirth, many things have changed in this life.
She didn't know if Ye Qingwan would change her fate from her previous life because of her rebirth. It was always better to be cautious at a critical juncture.
Seeing Ye Junfei's furrowed brows, Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "It's just a dream, you don't need to be so nervous."
Ye Junfei smiled but didn't say anything.
He had always attached great importance to Lin Xiuyan's "dream" from the very beginning.
The reason he values it is because he knows himself very well.
He harbored too much resentment and had too much bloodlust in his heart.
If he hadn't met her, he probably would have indulged his inner rage and slaughtered everyone who stood in his way to seize power.
He doesn't care about the lives of strangers at heart.
Even if he complains about Ye Qingwan, she is still the only blood relative he truly acknowledges.
If the people of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion kill Ye Qingwan, he really will slaughter the entire Pingnan Prince's Mansion!
Lin Xiuyan disliked his killing. Although he couldn't revere life like she did, he didn't want to become the kind of person she hated.
He wanted to show her his best side.
They arrived in Chongqing around noon.
This time, however, they didn't go to the city of Chongqing, but instead went to a remote town under the jurisdiction of Chongqing's urban management.
The town was right next to the mountains where Zhou Chenyang's private army was stationed.
Today is the day of rest for that private army.
As was his custom, the commander of the private army would come down the mountain to buy supplies, and he would also come to the town to relax.
The town is small, with only two straight streets running horizontally and vertically.
There were only two decent restaurants, one brothel, and a few shops selling various sundries and snacks on the street.
This town was so remote that few outsiders had ever come here before.
Since Zhou Chenyang released his private soldiers into the mountains, those soldiers would come down the mountain during their ten-day rest periods.
At the same time, the food that Zhou Chenyang provided for the army also had to be transported through this town to the mountains.
Over time, the town became much more prosperous than before.
On the day of the ten-day break, the town is packed with people.
Ye Junfei and his group arrived a little early; the soldiers had not yet come down the mountain, and the town was still somewhat deserted.
Their appearances were too striking, so Lin Xiuyan helped them with a simple disguise before they entered the town.
She didn't use human skin masks on them; she simply used some techniques to drastically change their appearance.
But Ye Junfei's bone structure is just too beautiful.
Even though Lin Xiuyan thickened his eyebrows, covered the red mole at the corner of his eye, and flattened his peach blossom eyes, he was still somewhat eye-catching.
Lin Xiuyan sighed and said, "The young master looks like this; he's just the kind of person who would tempt people to commit crimes."
Ye Junfei said gently, "If you don't like how others see me, I can wear a veil when I go out."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She simply couldn't imagine a grown man like him wearing a veil.
A peddler carrying a load of goods walked up to them and asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like to pick out a hair ornament for this young lady?"
Ye Junfei glanced at him and nodded slightly.
After the peddler put his goods down, he said softly, "Young Master, I have found out that they will descend the mountain at the beginning of the 5-7 PM."
"Zhou Chenyang's military supplies for this month have been delayed because he doesn't have enough money."
“Every day these past few days, people have come down the mountain to check if the supplies have arrived.”
"I heard there are already complaints in the camp, and people are dissatisfied with Zhou Chenyang."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyan knew that this person was also one of Ye Junfei's men, and she glanced at him.
He quickly cupped his hands to Lin Xiuyan and said, "Greetings, Princess Consort."
When Lin Xiuyan saw the man's face, she was startled because she recognized him. In his previous life, he was Zhou Chenyang's trusted confidant!
She wasn't sure whether the peddler had actually joined Zhou Chenyang's side.
She knew there was no need to reveal the truth at this point. If he sided with Zhou Chenyang, perhaps she could turn the tables on him.
If he doesn't defect, then everyone will be happy.
She picked up a hair accessory and said to Ye Junfei, "I like this, can you put it on for me?"
Ye Junfei noticed that she was holding a yellow hair flower tied with silk ribbon, an extremely gaudy color scheme.
His lips twitched slightly: "Are you sure?"
He simply couldn't imagine what she would look like wearing that flower!
