Otherwise, once her businesses fall apart, she will find it difficult to generate any more money, and she has many needs for money.
After Yan Nan agreed, he said, "Your Highness, you didn't sleep all night, please go back to your room and rest!"
Princess Pingnan took a deep breath and said, "You all go out first, I'll stay with Mr. Zhou for a while."
Yan Nan and He Tongyin exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, before turning and walking away.
As they closed the door, Princess Pingnan gently took Zhou Lingshan's hand and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely avenge you!"
She was the eldest daughter of the Hu family, a woman of great status, and her life was generally smooth sailing.
She also possesses remarkable skills, allowing her to handle the events around her with ease.
The recent series of events has left her somewhat overwhelmed. This latest incident has also served as a wake-up call for her: if Zhou Lengshan is going to die, then everyone around her could also die.
Although she had long harbored the intention to kill Ye Junfei, the feeling had never been as strong as it was this time.
From now on, it will be a fight to the death between them!
Lin Xiuyan learned about the Princess Consort of Pingnan going to see Zhou Lingshan's body from Ye Qingwan's maid.
Lin Xiuyan chuckled lightly: "I never would have guessed that the old hag is actually a person of great loyalty and righteousness."
She came today to have Ye Qingwan's injuries treated.
Although Ye Qingwan's injuries were more severe than Ye Junfei's that day, she has been focusing on recuperating these past few days, and her recovery is progressing well.
Ye Qingwan is now able to get out of bed, but Lin Xiuyan is worried that she might reopen her wound, so she asks her to stay in bed for a few more days.
After surviving her last encounter, Ye Qing cherished her life even more and followed Lin Xiuyan's medical advice very carefully.
Ye Qingwan chuckled and said, "It's not that the old hag is sentimental, but that the old hag and Zhou Lengshan have a thing going on."
Lin Xiuyan's eyes widened: "Really?"
Ye Qingwan said calmly, "Of course it's true."
"If she didn't absolutely trust someone, do you think the old hag would hand over all her businesses to Zhou Lingshan to manage?"
Lin Xiuyan recalled Zhou Lengshan's appearance and, to be fair, Zhou Lengshan was quite good-looking.
She clicked her tongue lightly: "Why didn't you say this sooner? With this incident, there's so much to make a fuss about."
Ye Qingwan laughed and said, "I didn't know you and my brother would be so fierce!"
“I mentioned it to you that day. Zhou Lingshan wasn’t in Liefeng City at the time, so I thought you would wait a while before making your move.”
"After all, the guards around Zhou Lengshan are all very capable, and he himself is very cautious."
"I originally planned to wait until he returned to Galewind City, then list out all his strengths and weaknesses, and then find a way to kill him."
Lin Xiuyan looked at Ye Qingwan and said, "But that's not what you said that day?"
Ye Qingwan touched her nose and said, "Really? Let's not worry about the past. You did a great job this time!"
"I now realize that those so-called conspiracies and tricks are utterly insignificant in the face of absolute power."
Lin Xiuyan glanced at her, and Ye Qingwan added, "Thank you, Zhou Shuyi, that damn idiot!"
"If he hadn't harassed you in the street, Zhou Lingshan wouldn't have come back to his death so quickly. We should reward him properly later!"
Lin Xiuyan asked with amusement, "What kind of reward will it be?"
Ye Qingwan replied, "Of course we should give him the Best Pitiful Dad Award, so that everyone in Liefeng City knows about his glorious deeds."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Ye Qingwan and Ye Junfei are indeed siblings; they're ruthless when it comes to scheming against people.
Ye Qingwan reached into the drawer and took out a box of ointment, saying to the maid, "Put this on for you."
Lin Xiuyan recognized the box of ointment as the one she had given to Ye Qingwan to remove the scars on her face when she had just married Ye Junfei.
At the time, Ye Qingwan said they weren't strong enough, and she wasn't willing to use them.
She asked Ye Qingwan, "Do you think we're powerful enough now that you're using this ointment?"
Ye Qingwan shook her head: "Compared to that old hag, we are still far weaker."
"But I think you and your brother are really amazing, you've grown up so fast."
"I estimate I'll need another month to recover from this injury. In that month, you guys will definitely grow much stronger."
"Once my injuries are fully healed, you should be able to protect me. I'll then appear before everyone looking stunning and amaze them!"
Lin Xiuyan coughed lightly and said, "Aren't you being too blindly trusting of us?"
Ye Qingwan looked at Lin Xiuyan with bright, sparkling eyes and said, "This isn't blindly believing you; it's a deduction I've made based on facts."
"Little Yanyan, from now on I'll be your little fangirl. If my brother doesn't serve you well in bed, just call me!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
When she first met Ye Qingwan, she thought she was a dignified and noble princess.
Now, Ye Qingwan no longer holds any place in her heart.
She asked Ye Qingwan, "We're all trying to grow, what about you?"
Ye Qingwan replied, "Of course I dress up beautifully every day to encourage you all!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at her speechlessly. How could the woman with explosive fighting power have become like this in such a short time?
She calmly replied, "I know, you dress up so beautifully every day, you're thinking of getting married."
"Don't worry, I'll go talk to your brother in a bit and find a lucky man to be your husband."
Ye Qingwan: "..."
When did she say such a thing?
She exclaimed urgently, "I don't want to get married!"
Lin Xiuyan reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, "No, no, no, you want to get married."
"My mother said that a girl's desire to get married starts with her love of beauty; a woman dresses up for the man she wants to please!"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan was relieved to see her expression; she had finally turned the tables.
Because Princess Pingnan was serious, Lord Zheng dared not delay. He racked his brains all night and finally came up with a way to exonerate Zhou Shuyi.
The next morning, Zhou Shuyi was released from the government office.
When Ye Junfei heard this news, a hint of coldness appeared on his lips.
Because of the Prince of Pingnan's control over his power, his situation in the Council of State Affairs was not good.
That's why Lord Zheng felt that with the Hu family backing him up, he really didn't take Ye Junfei seriously.
Given Ye Junfei's past behavior, he might send someone to deliver a fatal blow to Lord Zheng tonight.
But now he feels that while being simple and brutal is satisfying, it can bring other troubles.
Now, he prefers to treat people with courtesy, since Lin Xiuyan doesn't like him killing people, and it's better not to get blood on his fingers if possible.
He also had a rough plan on how to treat Lord Zheng with courtesy this time.
