Ye Qingwan exposed her: "With your penniless appearance, how can you possibly fulfill your filial duties?"
"I bet you're so poor you can't make ends meet, so you've got your eye on the Lin family's fortune and want to share it with Xiuyan."
Yu Zhan: "..."
She glared at Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan completely ignored her, and instead picked up a slice of watermelon and handed it to Lin Yunzhi, saying, "I'm different."
"Aside from my status as a princess of the royal family, I also own quite a few properties, and I have accumulated a lot of gold and silver over the years."
“I have no intention of getting married in this life. I can bring all my money with me so that my parents can live a happy and healthy old age.”
“Xiuyan is now married and can’t often be by her parents’ side to enjoy their company, but I can.”
She smiled slightly as she said this: "Father, Mother, do you need a daughter who is more considerate and attentive than a son, who also eliminates worries about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships, and who is more capable than the average son?"
Yu Zhan: "..."
Are all daughters this curled up these days?
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She thought Ye Qingwan had gone mad!
She threw herself into Lin Xiuyan's arms and said, "Mother, I don't want another older sister or younger sister!"
Qu Shuangyue laughed uncontrollably, patting her back and saying, "Now you know how to be nervous? Will you still be naughty in the future?"
Lin Yunzhi also smiled and said, "Princess, Miss Yu, have some melon. We bought quite a lot. If you like it, I'll have someone go and get some ice to chill it."
Lin Xiuyan gave Yu Zhan and Ye Qingwan a provocative look.
Yu Zhan and Ye Qingwan were both a little envious of how close Lin Xiuyan and Qu Shuangyue were.
Ye Qingwan reacted quickly: "Mom, I want a hug too!"
Not to be outdone, Yu Zhan also threw himself into Qu Shuangyue's arms and said, "Mother, although I am a little poor now, I will be very rich in the future."
"The important thing is that I'm strong enough to protect you like a son!"
They made Qu Shuangyue laugh uncontrollably: "Great, I'll have two more daughters from now on!"
Lin Xiuyan glared at the two of them and said, "You two are shameless!"
These two were thick-skinned to begin with, so they weren't angry at being scolded. They just laughed and called them "father" and "mother," and even massaged their shoulders and backs.
After everyone finished laughing and joking, they began to discuss serious matters.
Even if Zhou Lingshan were to die, it would still be difficult to take over his business, because the Lin family's previous business was quite different from the Zhou family's.
Fortunately, it's a business matter, and in essence, they are interconnected—it's all about making money.
In addition, Ye Qingwan had been keeping an eye on the Zhou family for many years and was very familiar with everything about them.
She had long hoped for the downfall of the Zhou family and had made many preparations for it.
She went through the information again last night, and now she has a very complete idea.
She said directly, "When Zhou Lingshan seized these businesses before, it was because he had the backing of the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion that he used some underhanded methods."
“He basically steals things like furs, so he makes a huge profit from it.”
“We don’t need to be as ruthless as them. We can just buy from herders and hunters at market price, and it’s easy to steal them.”
"It's just that the people from the Zhou family are used to acting domineeringly, and they might resort to some underhanded methods."
"My advice is, when you encounter something like this, knock them down in one go."
Yu Zhan said from the side, "I know how to fight! Dad, just call me when you go out, and I'll beat them up for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunzhi glanced at Yu Zhan and Ye Qingwan. These two were truly something else; one offered advice, and the other provided the physical assault.
He used to think that Ye Qingwan was a high and mighty princess, elegant and aloof, but now he realized that he had misjudged her.
The Yu Zhan before them was clearly a cunning and ruthless man.
Because of Ye Junfei, Lin Yunzhi considered Ye Qingwan as one of his own.
However, for Lin Yunzhi, Yu Zhan was not considered one of his own, but merely a collaborator.
He then said, "The basic strategy will be formulated later; I'll have someone go and implement it."
"If Miss Yu is willing to provide people to protect the Lin family's caravan, I can give Miss Yu 10% of the profits."
Yu Zhan knew how big the Zhou family's business was, and she also knew how much money the Lin family could make after taking over these businesses.
She looked at Lin Yunzhi with shining eyes and said, "Dad, you're so generous! From now on, for these kinds of strenuous tasks, just call me!"
Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Haven't you ever seen money before?"
Yu Zhan replied, "I've definitely seen the money, but I don't have much on hand. I'm terrified of being poor!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yunzhi and said, "Father, don't worry. I'm a man of principle, and I will always keep my promises."
"From now on, as long as I'm here, no one will be able to harm a single hair on your head!"
Lin Xiuyan asked her, "Aren't you about to lead your troops to join the Crown Prince's guard? You'll be very busy from now on. Do you have time to fight?"
Yu Zhan laughed and said, "Of course! There's nothing more important in this world than making money!"
"Besides, I'm going to protect my father. The young master will definitely not object and will even praise me."
She actually had her own considerations. She had already seen Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan's abilities and knew that they would treat the soldiers well.
If she, as the original commander of this army, continues to hold them hostage, it will arouse Ye Junfei's suspicion.
Now that she's given everyone away, she feels much lighter and can even make money. Her life seems much more comfortable than before.
Yu Zhan is not the kind of ambitious person; her possession of that army was a matter of chance.
She was also a responsible person, and since those people followed her, she wanted to give them a way to survive.
She had witnessed Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan's abilities this time, and she felt very reassured entrusting this army to them.
Ye Qingwan, who hadn't really looked at her properly, turned to look at her and said, "You're not bad!"
Yu Zhan laughed and said, "I think I'm pretty good too."
Ye Qingwan chuckled softly, thinking that Yu Zhan was somewhat shameless, but not annoying.
So they continued to discuss how to snatch the business away from the Zhou family.
Ye Qingwan has been managing the things left by her mother for many years and is not lacking in business acumen.
In addition, Zhou Lingshan had been somewhat shameless in his previous business dealings, so they all felt that they didn't need to take the usual path.
In summary, Lin Yunzhi used business tactics to steal business from the Zhou family. When the Zhou family objected, Yu Zhan led his men to fight.
During this process, Ye Qingwan witnessed Yu Zhan's roguishness, while Yu Zhan witnessed Ye Qingwan's meticulous and ruthless way of handling things.
The two gained a preliminary understanding of each other: this was not someone to be trifled with.
Then their gazes toward each other became gentler and more polite.
