Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised when she came to this conclusion.
This also indirectly explains why she was able to escape from Ye Junfei in her previous life, and why he never truly harmed her.
If it weren't for what happened that night, she might never have discovered the secret hidden in her past life.
Ye Junfei's way of expressing his feelings was too subtle; she never knew his feelings for her until her death.
In her past life, she was controlled by Zhou Chenyang with Gu worms, gave everything for him, and ultimately died a tragic death with nothing left.
He became a cruel and bloodthirsty tyrant, and she never heard of any woman by his side before her death.
He stood alone at the pinnacle of power; one wonders what his state of mind was.
Lin Xiuyan took a deep breath, wanting to reach out and hug him again, but ultimately she couldn't suppress the disgust in her body.
She withdrew her hand, looked at him, and said, "Let's not talk about what happened the night before again, I..."
She bit her lip lightly and said, "I will try my best to accept you and get along well with you."
Ye Junfei looked at her and saw the forbearance and helplessness in her eyes, along with a lot of complex emotions.
He knew she was still hiding something from him, but none of that mattered. What mattered was that he was still willing to be with her now.
He could understand her current rejection of him; the fragments of memory he retained about that night made him feel like a beast.
He said softly, "Okay, whatever you say."
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly at him, a slight curve to her lips, "Are you hungry too? Let's eat something together!"
Since she left yesterday, Ye Junfei has barely eaten anything.
Now that she was back safely, his heart was at ease, and he realized that he was indeed hungry.
The two ate a meal quietly, and after the meal, Ye Junfei rested on her bed.
He was so tired that he fell asleep the moment his head hit the bed.
When Lin Xiuyan came out of the room, she saw Qu Shuangyue waiting for her in the courtyard.
She said directly, "Mother guessed right. The young master and I had a little disagreement a couple of days ago, but we've made up now, so Mother doesn't need to worry."
Qu Shuangyue stared at her for a while before saying, "Who's worried about you? I'm worried that your reckless actions will drive my son-in-law away."
Qu Shuangyue was horrified by the look in Ye Junfei's eyes when he rushed in today.
The worry and joy in his eyes were simply overflowing.
She was actually a little worried that Ye Junfei would marry Lin Xiuyan too easily and wouldn't cherish her.
She only now realized that Ye Junfei's feelings for Lin Xiuyan were deeper than she had imagined.
Lin Xiuyan was all too familiar with Qu Shuangyue's hypocrisy, and chuckled softly.
Qu Shuangyue glared at her and said, "How can you still laugh!"
"You're married now, so don't be so willful in the future."
"After all, besides your father and me, no one else in this world can unconditionally tolerate your willfulness forever."
Lin Xiuyan made a face at her: "Mom always wrongs me, I'm clearly very well-behaved every day!"
Qu Shuangyue rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but inwardly she thought, "She can still praise herself; it seems she's really alright."
She didn't ask about the details of Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei's argument, but instead made her several beautiful dresses.
Lin Xiuyan was speechless when she saw those dresses, because they all looked very dignified and ladylike.
She usually finds skirts inconvenient and prefers pants, so these skirts don't really suit her style.
She planned to take them back to the Prince of Pingnan's mansion and stuff them into the wardrobe, never wearing them unless necessary.
Qu Shuangyue seemed to have seen through her plan and said directly, "Now that you've become the Crown Prince's consort, you still need to maintain the proper pomp and circumstance."
"I can't say anything else, but it'll definitely dazzle their eyes."
After she finished speaking, she opened the box next to her, which was full of jewelry, and the room instantly became much brighter.
She took out a hairpin and held it up to Lin Xiuyan's head: "These jewelry and clothes are part of the dowry I had made for you."
"At the time, I thought Zhou Chenyang was unreliable, so I thought of using the most expensive jewelry to keep his temper in check, so that he wouldn't think that his status as the city lord was so noble."
"These pieces of jewelry are too formal for you as the city lord's wife, but they are appropriate for the crown prince's wife."
"It doesn't matter if those scoundrels in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion look down on you, as long as the young master treats you well, that's enough."
"All you have to do is dazzle them with money, and then put on your airs. You are your parents' treasure, and you don't need to feel inferior in front of them at all."
"If they try to steal your money, just use the same methods you used to deal with Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang to deal with them. Don't hold back."
"If you are really unhappy living in the Prince's mansion, then come home and stay until the young master becomes the Prince of Pingnan."
Lin Xiuyan was both amused and exasperated by her words.
She looked again at the jewelry that Qu Shuangyue had prepared for her, and indeed, every piece was exquisite, even more luxurious than the jewelry used by the Princess of Pingnan.
She knew Qu Shuangyue's personality; she always acted in a simple and crude manner.
The fact that Qu Shuangyue was able to patiently prepare so many things for her and talk so much about them at this moment is enough to show that Qu Shuangyue was very worried about her.
She reached out and hugged Qu Shuangyue, saying, "Mother, don't worry, no one can bully me."
Qu Shuangyue patted her head and said, "Mother won't ask you why you quarreled with the young master."
"I just want to tell you that you don't need to feel inferior, you don't need to compromise, and you don't need to swallow your pride in the Prince's mansion."
"If you really push them too far, we'll chop up those who are making things difficult for you, and then our whole family will move to another place to live."
Lin Xiuyan said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to Mother."
Qu Shuangyue reached out and gently patted her back, saying, "Change into these clothes and put on these jewelry for me to see."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She wanted to refuse, but Qu Shuangyue had little patience. Seeing that she didn't change her clothes, she directly slapped her and said, "Just change when I tell you to. What's the point of dawdling like this?"
Lin Xiuyan grinned at her: "Only Dad can put up with your temper."
Qu Shuangyue said smugly, "When I was young, I was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. I had so many admirers!"
"When I was choosing a husband, your father was the least noticeable one, after all, my status was much higher than his!"
Lin Xiuyan asked with a smile, "What was Mother's status back then?"
Qu Shuangyue casually replied, "Of course, she's the saintess everyone kneels before..."
As she spoke, she finally realized that this was her biggest secret, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Lin Xiuyan is not good with words; if she accidentally lets something slip, it could easily lead to trouble.
She then changed her tune, saying, "Why are you asking so many questions? You just need to know that your mother has a noble status, and so do you! You don't need to be afraid of anyone!"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Okay, I've got it."
