The blood stuck to Ye Mingzhu's hair, making her look extremely disheveled.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said to Ye Mingzhu, "Second sister, you will definitely become the most popular person this year. You're welcome!"
Ye Mingzhu clenched her fist and was about to rush forward again, but Lin Xiuyan beckoned to her with her finger: "Come on!"
"I just remembered, I haven't taught you martial arts today. Come on, let's practice!"
The maidservant holding the pearl tightly said, "Miss, we still have to rush back to the palace for the Dragon Boat Festival."
Ye Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Xiuyan, you just wait!"
Lin Xiuyan said with a smile, "If you're not coming, then I'll come over."
After she finished speaking, she took a step forward. This time, Ye Mingzhu didn't need the maid to pull her along and walked forward quickly.
Lin Xiuyan chuckled softly: "Don't run away!"
The luminous pearl moved even faster.
Lin Xiuyan had beaten her so badly that she was almost traumatized.
She dared to provoke Lin Xiuyan because she thought Lin Xiuyan wouldn't dare to make a move in public, but as it turns out, she was wrong.
Lin Xiuyan glanced at Ye Mingzhu with disdain and cursed, "You cowardly bully who picks on the weak."
Ye Junfei asked, "What did you do to her?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "It's nothing, we just poured the big basin of pig's blood used in the ceremony onto the head of the luminous pearl."
"And I also fed her some raw pig's blood."
Ye Junfei: "..."
He felt that he had already hit the Prince of Pingnan hard enough by making him fall, but compared to her, it was nothing.
Seeing his expression, Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "She provoked me today, I really didn't strike first."
After they parted ways today, the women's side, led by Princess Pingnan, led the group of female relatives to perform the agricultural and sericultural sacrifice.
After the ceremony, Ye Mingzhu came over and tricked Lin Xiuyan, saying that eating raw pig's blood today would bring good luck for the whole year.
Lin Xiuyan, of course, did not believe Ye Mingzhu's words, so Ye Mingzhu had her maid hold Lin Xiuyan down and make her eat raw pig's blood.
How could Lin Xiuyan possibly let Ye Mingzhu have her way? She kicked away the two maids and directly dumped a whole basin of raw pig's blood on Ye Mingzhu's head.
Ye Mingzhu was stunned. Lin Xiuyan simply pried open her mouth and stuffed it full of raw pig's blood.
After hearing her finish speaking, Ye Junfei chuckled and said, "Ye Mingzhu didn't completely lie to you. During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is indeed a custom in Liefeng City of eating raw blood."
"However, over the years, people have found it too disgusting and have basically stopped eating it."
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "It would be even better if this custom existed."
"I am so great that I can't bear to eat it myself, so I save the whole province for the luminous pearl."
"I fed her so much, and she didn't even thank me! That's outrageous!"
Ye Junfei couldn't help but laugh; he really loved her personality.
Ye Junfei asked her, "Would you like to go for a stroll in the city?"
The Dragon Boat Festival is a major festival. On this day, in addition to the sacrificial ceremony presided over by the Royal Palace, there are other activities in Liefeng City, making it very lively.
This year, due to Ye Jingxian's serious injury, the Prince of Pingnan was in a bad mood and no other arrangements were made for the Prince's ceremony except for the main ceremony.
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "Young Master, you are currently injured, so shopping is not suitable for you."
Ye Junfei took her hand and said, "This is our first Dragon Boat Festival together, so we should do something meaningful."
Lin Xiuyan thought it made perfect sense, so she said, "How about we go kill someone?"
Ye Junfei: "..."
I don't know who complained that he had too much blood on his hands.
Now look what's happened, she's volunteering to kill someone.
He asked her, "Who do you want to kill?"
Lin Xiuyan repeated what Ye Qingwan had told her the previous day.
She asked, "I'm not very clear about these things in the Prince's mansion. Do you think Zhou Lingshan deserves to be killed?"
After hearing what she had said, Ye Junfei felt a little conflicted. He said softly, "Zhou Lengshan deserves to die."
"It's just that this kind of thing is too dirty, and you shouldn't be doing it."
"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it. Even if I can't give you a stable life right now, I won't make you kill someone for me."
Ye Junfei and Ye Qingwan actually thought of the same thing.
He just didn't expect that Ye Qingwan would tell Lin Xiuyan these things.
The attack was a last resort at the time.
Since they weren't facing a life-or-death situation, Ye Junfei felt there was no need for her to shed blood for him.
Lin Xiuyan saw his captivating peach blossom eyes and chuckled softly, "This doesn't count as killing someone for you."
"But now our fates are intertwined. If something happens to you, I won't benefit either."
"If we can break one of the old hag's arms, we'll be safer in the future."
Ye Junfei gently took her hand; her hand was stained with blood from feeding Ye Mingzhu raw blood.
He led her to a nearby stream and gently washed away the bloodstains on her fingers.
He said softly, "I married you because I love you, not so you could kill for me."
"As a man, I failed to protect you, leaving you in danger and causing her to worry about the future. It is my dereliction of duty."
"All I want in my life is for your peace and happiness, not for you to have blood on your fingers because of me."
He spoke these words in a soft, gentle voice.
A warmth welled up in Lin Xiuyan's heart.
When she mentioned killing Zhou Lingshan, she was actually half genuinely trying to help him, and the other half wanted to know his opinion on the matter.
After all, he had witnessed firsthand her creation of those incredible, devastating weapons, and she wanted to know if he would react like Zhou Chenyang in her previous life:
He treated her as a sharp weapon, making her the knife in his hand.
As it turned out, her worries were unfounded.
Ye Junfei is Ye Junfei. Zhou Chenyang, that scumbag, is not even a tenth as good as him in terms of intelligence or vision.
Ye Junfei may have blood on his hands, but he would never take advantage of someone he likes.
She looked at Ye Junfei and grinned foolishly.
Ye Junfei was a little confused, and pulled her other hand to help her wash it: "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Xiuyan couldn't tell him these secret thoughts, and only said, "I suddenly realized that you're not as bad as I thought."
Ye Junfei glanced at her sideways: "So, in your heart, I've always been a bad person?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't answer his question, but instead leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
Ye Junfei looked at her and saw that her eyes were full of warm smiles.
There had always seemed to be a barrier between them, but at this moment, he could feel her approaching.
She said softly, "You're not exactly a good person, but there's a saying, 'Women don't love men who aren't a little bad!'"
Ye Junfei chuckled and reached out to flick her nose, saying, "I've realized that you always have so many twisted arguments."
Lin Xiuyan suddenly scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face...
