Yu Zhan glanced at Xiao Bao, whose eyes were wide open like black grapes, and then held back.
She looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "Your family is so rich, how can you come here and fight with kids for chicken? How can you be so shameless?"
"How dare you!" Lin Xiuyan replied matter-of-factly, "Things that are stolen always taste better!"
Yu Zhan: "..."
She had never seen such a shameless person!
However, she quickly realized that there was no reasoning with Lin Xiuyan, that shameless playboy.
So she picked up her chopsticks and joined the frenzy for food.
The large rooster, weighing about six pounds, was completely devoured by the group of them. (M.cascoo.net)
The result of the food scramble was that everyone ate until their bellies were round.
Lin Xiuyan touched her belly, and Xiao Bao followed suit, touching his belly as well. He really liked this beautiful older sister who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing that his mouth was covered in oil from eating, Lin Xiuyan smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth for him. He smiled happily at her.
Yu Zhan was too ashamed to look at this scene.
She doesn't visit Xiaobao often, perhaps because of her strong aura of menace, which makes Xiaobao somewhat afraid of her.
It took her a long time to get Xiaobao to be close to her, but even so, she couldn't get Xiaobao to be as close to her as he was to Lin Xiuyan at this moment.
She felt a pang of sadness.
It was getting late, so Lin Xiuyan and Yu Zhan stayed in the village for the night.
The house was too small, with only two rooms: one for the elderly couple and the other for Yu Zhan and Lin Xiuyan with their baby.
Xiao Bao nestled obediently against Lin Xiuyan and quickly fell asleep.
Seeing this scene made Yu Zhan feel even more heartbroken.
She said to Lin Xiuyan, "You're so good at taking care of children, why don't you go have one yourself!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled but didn't reply.
She had already taken off her outer garment, and her inner garment was hanging loosely on her body, so Yu Zhan could see the red marks on her body.
Yu Zhan's gossip-loving nature ignited quickly. She tore open Lin Xiuyan's inner garment, revealing a dense array of marks inside.
She laughed: "Lin Xiuyan, not bad! So that's where you went last night. You were sleeping with the young master!"
Lin Xiuyan reached out and pulled up her clothes, glared at her, and ignored her.
She became even more enthusiastic: "Tsk tsk, the young master really doesn't know how to cherish a woman!"
"Such a beautiful woman like you, how could I be so rough with you during our intimate moments!"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at her sideways, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Yu Zhan felt that her reaction was a bit off. Normally, people would feel a little embarrassed if something like this was said out loud.
However, Lin Xiuyan showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and her eyes even revealed a hint of anger.
Yu Zhan became even more gossipy: "Judging from the marks on your body, you and the Crown Prince must have been fighting all night, right?"
"Your Highness has impressive stamina! You're in luck!"
Lin Xiuyan still ignored her, so she continued, "Was the young master too reckless last night and made you angry?"
Lin Xiuyan had calmed down, but after being asked a series of questions, she was reminded of what happened last night.
Instead of answering, Lin Xiuyan asked, "Are you happy when you're with Xiaobao's father?"
Yu Zhan's expression changed slightly: "Talk about your business, why are you bringing mine up?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Everyone has things they don't want to talk about, so why dig into it?"
Yu Zhan completely abandoned his intention to mock Lin Xiuyan and said with some surprise, "The young master is so handsome, yet he didn't catch your eye?"
"Holy crap, Lin Xiuyan, your standards for men are way too high!"
Lin Xiuyan had no idea what she was imagining, and only said, "My relationship with the young master is not what you think, so stop making wild guesses."
Yu Zhan remembered something else: "Then let me ask you, did you come to see me as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, or as the heir apparent of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion?"
Lin Xiuyan asked, "Is there a difference?"
Yu Zhan replied, "Of course! If you were here as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, I could become sworn sisters with you right now."
"As long as you provide the military funding, I'll fight wherever you point!"
Lin Xiuyan turned to look at her and continued, "If you come as the heir apparent of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, I'll have to think about it some more."
“The Prince of Pingnan’s mansion is a huge pit, and I don’t want to be cannon fodder.”
Lin Xiuyan stared at her for a full three breaths, then laughed: "Yu Zhan, stop pretending in front of me."
"We both know very well that when you chose not to help Princess Anle today, you had no other choice."
Yu Zhan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "When Ye Junfei used himself as bait to lure and kill Princess Anle, and then defeated him utterly, you had already made your decision."
“Your ambition is written all over your eyes; I can see it.”
"I spent so much time playing with you this afternoon just to give you a way out."
"If you keep acting high and mighty, it will be a bit out of place."
"Don't glare at me. I didn't want to say this so bluntly, but you forced me to."
She knew Yu Zhan well; he was cunning and ruthless, and had a good eye for people.
Ye Junfei's display of skill in front of Yu Zhan today, coupled with his status as the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, will definitely entice Yu Zhan to surrender.
Yu Zhan asked Lin Xiuyan, "So you came here today for Ye Junfei?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "He and I are husband and wife. Whether it's him going or me going, there is no essential difference."
She had promised Ye Junfei that she would help him subdue Yu Zhan, and she would keep her promise.
Yu Zhan crossed his arms and said, "But it seems that your relationship with Ye Junfei is in trouble right now."
Lin Xiuyan knew she was a shrewd person. She hadn't controlled her emotions just now, which made Yu Zhan realize that there was a problem in her relationship with Ye Junfei.
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "You're really blind."
Yu Zhan: "..."
She glanced at Lin Xiuyan and said, "Fine, if you don't want to admit it, then don't!"
"I have a suggestion: you kick Ye Junfei out, use the money to raise an army, and we'll take that army to rob wealthy families. What do you think?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "Not good! I have no interest in being a bandit."
Yu Zhan coaxed him gently: "Let me tell you, men can't be relied on!"
"Women need to have their own careers so they won't be too passive in the future!"
Lin Xiuyan said directly, "You probably just want to rob the Lin family mansion one day, then dump Zhou Chenyang and continue being your notorious bandit, right?"
Yu Zhan's intentions were exposed, but he stubbornly refused to admit it: "That's not true! I have so many brothers under my command now, it's not realistic for me to become a notorious bandit."
Still unwilling to give up, she said, "Aren't you really going to consider this?"
Lin Xiuyan pulled the blanket over herself, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
