As soon as Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei arrived at the Lin residence, they saw Lin Yunzhi waiting at the door.
He was somewhat surprised to see them, but ultimately delighted: "She truly is my daughter; they have such a great understanding!"
"As soon as we arrived in Galewind City, you sensed it and came looking for us!"
Lin Xiuyan didn't want him to worry, so she didn't mention what had happened that day, only saying that she happened to run into Qu Shuangyue on the road.
Lin Yunzhi leaned closer to her and sniffed her, then looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "You got into a fight again?"
Lin Xiuyan instinctively denied it: "I didn't!"
Lin Yunzhi snorted and said, "I could smell the blood on you from 800 miles away. Tell me, what happened today?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't actually have much blood on her body, and since she was wearing a black outfit today, it wasn't very noticeable.
But Lin Yunzhi's nose was too sensitive; he smelled the blood as soon as he saw it.
Qu Shuangyue looked at her with a half-smile, and she could only recount the events of the day in a glossed-over manner.
After listening, Lin Yunzhi sighed deeply. He didn't mention Lin Xiuyan, but pointed at Ye Junfei and said, "You're really too useless!"
“My Yan’er has never suffered such injustice before. If you can’t protect her, I’ll take her back to Chongqing and we’ll protect her ourselves!”
Ye Junfei was about to admit his mistake when Lin Xiuyan said from the side, "Father, don't be angry. This really isn't his fault!"
"You've probably heard about what's going on in the Prince's mansion. It's certainly not peaceful, but we're definitely not the ones who're at a disadvantage."
"Putting everything else aside, just talking about today, I not only have a fight to fight, but I also have money to make."
After saying this, she slammed the money she had extorted from Zhou Shuyi onto the table with great fanfare: "This is what I earned today."
Lin Yunzhi originally wanted to say that with her fighting skills, how much money could she earn?
Besides, fighting and making money are two completely different things and should not be confused.
But when he saw that the top one was a silver note worth 10,000 taels, and that it was a note that could be deposited and exchanged at the largest money exchange, he was completely stunned.
He looked at Lin Xiuyan with some surprise and asked, "Where did you come from?"
Lin Xiuyan puffed out her chest proudly: "I earned it by fighting."
Lin Yunzhi: "..."
He turned to look at Qu Shuangyue, who immediately said, "That's true, I can vouch for it."
Lin Yunzhi: "..."
He works hard in business and can't earn this much in half a year. They made this much from a fight. It's like they robbed them!
Lin Xiuyan smiled and explained the whole story. Lin Yunzhi sighed, "They really went to rob someone."
Ye Junfei, watching Lin Yunzhi's expression, almost laughed. He said gently, "With Zhou Lengshan dead, the Zhou family is leaderless."
"Now is the perfect time to divide up the Zhou family's business. Father, this matter is up to you."
Lin Yunzhi looked at him and continued, "Zhou Lengshan is shrewd and meticulous in his work."
"No one in the world can take his business away from him except for my father."
Lin Yunzhi glanced at Ye Junfei and said arrogantly, "Sycophant!"
After he finished speaking, he asked Lin Xiuyan, "Does Yan'er want her father to steal the Zhou family's business?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "The Zhou family provided the old witch with a steady stream of money to help them raise troops and bribe officials in Liefeng Prefecture."
“If Father takes away all of the Zhou family’s business, it will be the same as cutting off the old hag’s source of income.”
"Without the support of the Zhou family's money, the old hag will face many restrictions in doing things in the future, making it inconvenient for us to act."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed Lin Yunzhi's arm, pleading, "Dad, you have to help me!"
Lin Yunzhi had never had any principles in front of her, and he said with a smile, "Alright, alright!"
"Tell your father how to deal with the Zhou family. Your father will listen to your advice."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with the Zhou family's business, but the princess is very familiar with it."
"The princess's injuries are no longer serious. I will bring her out to see Father tomorrow, and Father can discuss it with her."
Lin Yunzhi readily agreed.
Ye Junfei already knew that Lin Yunzhi was a doting father, and now he witnessed it firsthand.
That evening, Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei returned to the Prince's Mansion after having dinner at the Lin residence.
As soon as they returned to the Prince's residence, the gatekeeper came over and said, "Young Master, Young Master's Wife, the Prince and Princess have been waiting for you for a long time. This way, please!"
Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan were not too surprised by this. They smiled at each other and went to see the Prince and Princess of Pingnan.
As soon as they passed by, something was thrown at their heads.
Ye Junfei reached out and grabbed the flying vase.
The Prince of Pingnan roared, "Lin Xiuyan, kneel down!"
Lin Xiuyan naturally wouldn't listen to him. She asked earnestly, "I wonder what I did wrong to make Father so angry?"
The Prince of Pingnan slammed his hand heavily on the table: "You still have the nerve to ask!"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Ye Junfei and said, "She's the one you insisted on marrying into the royal family. She's almost completely disgraced the royal family!"
"I now order you to divorce her immediately! Otherwise, I will petition the court to strip you of your title as heir apparent!"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "Please do as you wish."
After he finished speaking, he took Lin Xiuyan's hand and said, "I've heard this several times. If Father has nothing else to say, let's go back to our room and rest."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He tragically discovered that, apart from this one thing, he seemed to have nothing else to threaten Ye Junfei with.
The key point is that Ye Junfei didn't take his threat seriously at all.
Seeing them about to leave, he angrily shouted, "Stop!"
Ye Junfei turned to look at him and asked, "Father, is there anything else?"
The Prince of Pingnan gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Xiuyan publicly beat up an official appointed by the imperial court and led people into the house to rob it."
"This is far too arrogant and seriously damages the image of the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion. He must be severely punished!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at the Prince of Pingnan with surprise and asked, "Father, have you made a mistake somewhere?"
"I was attacked today, and I only went to the government office to report the case. How did that become assaulting an official of the imperial court?"
"I heard someone committing a crime at the Zhou residence, so my mother and I went in to rescue them. How did that become robbery?"
The Prince of Pingnan glared at her and said, "You dare to argue! Lord Zheng has come to me to complain!"
"Not only did you injure the city patrol guards, but you also beat Zhou Shuyi in public. Everyone can testify to that!"
Lin Xiuyan knew there was no point in arguing with him, so she lazily asked, "Does Father know about the assassination attempt on me today?"
The Prince of Pingnan was taken aback: "Aren't you alright now?"
Lin Xiuyan's eyes were full of mockery: "I was assassinated, but I am fine, so Father can pretend that this never happened."
"Tsk tsk, I didn't know where Lord Zheng's strange theories came from before, but now I understand. It turns out he learned them from my father."
