Princess Pingnan said calmly, "It's her own face that gets disgraced when such an undignified relative comes over; we don't need to worry about it."
Ye Mingzhu put down the account book in her hand and said, "Mother, I want to go see Lin Xiuyan's cousin."
Princess Pingnan frowned: "In this situation, you shouldn't provoke her."
Ye Mingzhu smiled slightly: "I don't believe she would dare to hit me in front of her family!"
After she finished speaking, she ignored the Princess Consort of Pingnan's objections and went straight to Lin Xiuyan's residence.
But as it turns out, there really aren't many things Lin Xiuyan wouldn't dare to do in this world.
After Ye Mingzhu said, "Sister-in-law, I heard your family has come to visit," Lin Xiuyan smiled and asked, "Second sister, are you here to learn martial arts?"
Before Ye Mingzhu could react, Lin Xiuyan punched her in the face.
Yu Zhan, who was confused, was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up. Was it really that exciting?
Ye Mingzhu was beaten many times by Lin Xiuyan, but she continued to make great progress.
She screamed, "Lin Xiuyan, you're insane!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Second sister hasn't practiced martial arts for a few days, and her skin is getting looser. Let me help you tighten it."
As she spoke, she beckoned to Yu Zhan, "Cousin, please sit down for a while. I'll come and talk to you after I finish teaching my second sister martial arts."
Yu Zhan: "...Okay."
She had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Ye Mingzhu was spoiled and pampered, and that when Lin Xiuyan hit Ye Mingzhu, she specifically hit her face.
She couldn't help but admire Lin Xiuyan; to so brazenly confront a young lady from a royal family, Lin Xiuyan was truly something else.
Ye Mingzhu, protected by her maid, left in tears.
Lin Xiuyan called out from behind her, "Second sister, come to my place every day when you have time! I'll definitely help you master unparalleled martial arts!"
The luminous pearl moved even faster.
After she left, Yu Zhan gave Lin Xiuyan a thumbs up: "You're amazing! I told you before, the second young lady of the Prince's Mansion is no pushover."
"I originally thought you would at least suffer some loss at her hands, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to hit her directly."
Lin Xiuyan calmly replied, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not hitting her, I'm helping her practice martial arts! She should thank me!"
Yu Zhan burst into laughter upon hearing this: "I don't believe you for a second!"
Lin Xiuyan asked her, "Is there something you need from me?"
Yu Zhan smiled and said, "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see the young master."
"If I said I was the Crown Prince's cousin, I probably wouldn't be able to enter the Prince's residence."
Lin Xiuyan asked her maid to pour Yu Zhan a cup of tea. After taking a sip, she said with disdain, "It's too bitter, it doesn't taste good. Can you make me a bowl of sugar water instead?"
The maid was taken aback for a moment, then Lin Xiuyan told her to make some sugar water for Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan smiled when he saw Lin Xiuyan's calm demeanor. After the maid prepared the drink and brought it over, she took a sip and sighed contentedly.
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "How long has it been since you've had any candy?"
Yu Zhan replied, "We've been out of food for several days, and sugar is so expensive, how could we bear to eat it?"
"But after we all come out of the mountains and become the guards of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, we won't be so shabby anymore."
Lin Xiuyan looked at her with some surprise upon hearing this, and asked, "Didn't the young master tell you about this?"
Lin Xiuyan has been busy dealing with Zhou Shuyi lately and hasn't been involved in anything else.
She knew that Ye Junfei wanted to merge part of Yu Zhan's army into the Thirteenth Battalion, but she didn't know that he wanted to pull all of Yu Zhan's army out of the mountains.
Yu Zhan laughed again: "That's not good of you, Your Highness. You didn't even tell you something so important."
“He sent me a message a few days ago saying that he had the authority to fill four guard units of the Prince’s Palace, and it would be difficult to fit all my people into the system. He asked if I wanted to come out of seclusion.”
"I think he's bragging. How could someone as stingy as the Prince of Pingnan have so many guards? So I decided to come to the Prince's residence to see for myself."
"When I arrived at the Prince's Mansion, I saw you hitting someone. I knew he wasn't lying, so I decided to bring everyone out of the mountains."
Lin Xiuyan said speechlessly, "How could the young master possibly tell me about something you just decided?"
Yu Zhan laughed and said, "He needs to be more confident and believe that with his abilities, he will be willing to come down from the mountain as long as I come down to the palace for a look."
Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at her when she heard her theory.
This girl probably just wanted to take a look before she left home; she definitely didn't arrive in Galewind City today.
She must have toured around Liefeng City, gathered a lot of information, and made a decision before entering the royal palace.
She crossed her arms and said, "Do you think I'd believe you?"
Yu Zhan laughed and said, "Whether you believe it or not is not important. What's important is that I'm very sincere right now."
Lin Xiuyan said bluntly, "Your sincerity is really worthless, and you're a bit of a fence-sitter."
Yu Zhan showed no embarrassment whatsoever: "I'm not a fence-sitter, I'm just assessing the situation."
Lin Xiuyan was too lazy to say anything to her. She had seen this woman's despicable behavior for two lifetimes and had no hope left.
Yu Zhan then tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Can you tell me how you and the Crown Prince managed to acquire so many guards in such a short time?"
Lin Xiuyan asked with a smile, "You want to know?"
Yu Zhan nodded, and Lin Xiuyan straightened her face and said expressionlessly, "I'm not telling you."
Yu Zhan: "..."
She gritted her teeth and reached out to tickle Lin Xiuyan: "Tell me!"
Just as the two were laughing and joking, Ye Qingwan arrived.
Maintaining the dignity of a princess, she coughed lightly and asked, "What are you all doing?"
Yu Zhan didn't recognize Ye Qingwan and assumed she was the same kind of person as Ye Mingzhu, so he encouraged Lin Xiuyan: "Another one asking for a beating has come knocking on our door."
Ye Qingwan's gaze fell on Yu Zhan.
Her eye for people was far sharper than the gatekeeper's; she could tell at a glance that Yu Zhan was no ordinary person.
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "I dare not hit her. I spent a lot of medicinal herbs to save her a few days ago."
After she finished speaking, she said to Ye Qingwan, "Princess, this is Yu Zhan."
Ye Qingwan glanced at Yu Zhan with disdain and said, "Oh, she looks even darker than the butcher's wife on Qianmen Street."
Yu Zhan: "..."
Upon hearing Lin Xiuyan's introduction, she knew that this was Ye Junfei's twin sister.
I know they're one of our own, but they're not easy to get along with.
She coughed lightly and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Ye Qingwan said calmly, "No need for formalities."
After she finished speaking, she said to Lin Xiuyan, "Didn't we agree to visit your parents today? Why are you fooling around with her at home?"
Ever since Ye Junfei started calling Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue "father" and "mother," Ye Qingwan has followed suit.
Lin Xiuyan replied, "I was waiting for you when Yu Zhan arrived. Why don't we go together?"
