Ye Junfei chuckled and said, "She's working for our benefit, why should I care about her?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him with her bright almond-shaped eyes and said, "It's okay. We'll definitely bring you along when we eat. You can pay for it then."
Yan Jiushu: "...After thinking about it carefully, I haven't done anything wrong, and I don't need you to let bygones be bygones."
Lin Xiuyan wasn't angry when she heard this. She turned to look at Ye Junfei and said, "Does he often only admit his mistakes halfway?"
Ye Junfei glanced at Yan Jiushu and said calmly, "If it weren't for the money involved, his attitude in admitting his mistake would be quite good."
Lin Xiuyan blinked: "Huh? Is that so? So he's a miser?"
"You're the miser!" Yan Jiushu said irritably. "I've been very generous!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly at him: "Alright, then it's settled on booking Zuixianglou."
Yan Jiushu: "..."
Who made that promise to her?
But as they continued talking, it seemed he had no room to refuse.
Wu Ge smiled and said, "In that case, I will thank the Crown Princess and Mr. Yan on behalf of my brothers."
"The Crown Princess is really resourceful. I've known Mr. Yan for many years, but this is the first time I've ever seen him treat everyone to a meal."
Yan Jiushu glared at him: "Why are you meddling in this mess!"
Wu Ge, being thick-skinned, pretended not to see the glare.
As long as there's good food, Wu Ge wouldn't mind being glared at, let alone just one glance. Even if he were glared at ten times, he wouldn't mind.
Yan Jiushu regretted it a little; he should have known better than to say those words to Lin Xiuyan today.
Isn't she the daughter of the richest man in Chongqing? Would she be short of money for food?
Most importantly, he himself didn't know how he had so confusedly agreed to treat them to dinner.
The atmosphere in the room instantly lightened, and the annoyance caused by the Prince of Pingnan's favoritism vanished completely.
Everyone except Yan Jiushu was happy.
That scoundrel Wu Ge even recommended to Lin Xiuyan which snacks and wines were the best at Zuixianglou, picking out only the most expensive ones.
Yan Jiushu felt his wallet was nearly empty; his heart was bleeding. (cascoo.net)
He Shen walked in and said, "I just inquired and found out that the Second Young Master's injuries are very serious. Apart from the Medical Sage, no doctor can properly set his leg bone."
"His Highness has already sent someone to find the Sage of Medicine to treat the Second Young Master's illness."
Since the last incident, he has been focused on working for Lin Xiuyan.
This time, when he learned that Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei had wiped out nearly half of the Xuanzi Camp's troops with just a dozen or so people, he knew that his decision was correct.
So, without Lin Xiuyan's instructions, he went to find out the information himself.
Yan Jiushu's eyes were full of disdain: "He brought this on himself, he deserved it!"
"Given his character, there is absolutely no way Master would treat him."
Yan Jiushu's medical skills have actually been passed down from the Medical Sage. If he seriously treats Ye Jingxian, he is confident that he can cure Ye Jingxian.
However, he disliked Ye Jingxian so much that he would never treat her.
Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan knew that Ye Jingxian was injured, but they did not know how serious the injury was.
Upon hearing He Shen's words, Lin Xiuyan chuckled softly. It seemed that Ye Jingxian was truly going to be crippled this time.
The Sage of Medicine possessed unparalleled medical skills, yet he disliked being constrained and was unwilling to treat royalty and noble families unless under special circumstances.
He often traveled around with several apprentice doctors, providing free medical consultations to the local people.
Although he was a compassionate doctor, there were three conditions he could not treat:
Those with poor character will not be treated; those who do not follow medical advice will not be treated; those who use their power to oppress others will not be treated.
What Ye Jingxian did this time violated the taboo of the Medical Sage.
It was virtually impossible for the Prince of Pingnan's mansion to persuade the Medical Sage to treat Ye Jingxian.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "That old man truly cares for Ye Jingxian. Even though Ye Jingxian is injured like this, he still doesn't give up. His fatherly love is as solid as a mountain."
The room fell silent the moment he said those words.
Because the Prince of Pingnan was also his father.
They already knew that the Prince of Pingnan was very biased, but now they realized that it was more than just bias.
Even if this incident wasn't authorized by the Prince of Pingnan, it must have been tacitly approved by him.
Lin Xiuyan gently took Ye Junfei's hand, and he chuckled, "I'm fine, because I never had any hope for him."
Lin Xiuyan could tell how much helplessness was in his words.
The more she learned about him, the more she realized how difficult things were for him.
She was also increasingly able to understand why he had become such a paranoid person in his past life.
Having never experienced human warmth, he naturally had no compassion for the world.
She looked at him and said, "He has such an excellent son like you, but he insists on spoiling Ye Jingxian. He will definitely regret it in the future."
Ye Junfei didn't actually care how the Prince of Pingnan treated him, because he had long since given up on the Prince of Pingnan.
What he cared about was that Lin Xiuyan would comfort him and show him concern.
Ever since he took that arrow for her, her attitude towards him has changed a lot.
A faint smile appeared in his eyes: "You're right, he'll definitely regret it."
While they were discussing the matter of Ye Jingxian, Princess Anle was also discussing Ye Jingxian with Qingyuan.
Yesterday, Qingyuan was ordered by Princess Anle to kill Lin Xiuyan when the opportunity arose, but he found that there was no chance to kill her at all.
Lin Xiuyan had a wide variety of weapons at her disposal, and they kept coming up one after another.
With Ye Junfei coming to provide backup, there was even less chance for them to make a move.
This time, they managed to escape alive, which was far from Princess Anle's initial expectations.
However, he was still happy, because this was depleting the strength of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
If he could, he would want to wipe out the entire Xuanzi Camp.
Qingyuan said softly, "Judging from the current situation, Ye Jingxian's abilities are far inferior to Ye Junfei's."
"Given the current situation, does the princess still intend to marry into the Prince of Pingnan's household?"
Before Princess Anle could answer, a scout came in and said, "Princess, Ye Jingxian's leg has suffered a comminuted fracture; he will likely be lame."
“The Prince of Pingnan protected Ye Jingxian in every way. In order to protect him, he also gave Ye Junfei two guards and allowed Ye Junfei to participate in politics.”
Princess Anle waved her hand slightly upon hearing this, and the scout withdrew.
He sneered, "Ye Jingxian has suffered a great loss of energy this time; he's truly a piece of trash!"
Qingyuan looked at him and said slowly, "If he is crippled, the other young masters of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion will be even less of a match for Ye Junfei."
"Moreover, his leg being crippled has its advantages; it makes him easier to control."
"So now is actually a good time to marry Ye Jingxian. He has suffered such a great loss, he will only become more dependent on me."
"As long as I marry into the Pingnan Prince's mansion, I will be able to obtain all of Ye Jingxian's power."
"To control the entire Pingnan Prince's Mansion, all we need to do is kill Ye Junfei."
