After all, they have different areas of expertise, and who knows when they might need to rely on each other!
Lin Xiuxiu glanced at them and quickly understood their intentions.
She pursed her lips slightly; those two were really something else.
By the time they finished discussing everything, it was already afternoon. Yu Zhan and Ye Qingwan had another dinner at the Lin residence, showering Lin Yunzhi and his wife with compliments.
Lin Yunzhi couldn't stop smiling as he listened, and he put a piece of food on each of their plates.
After dinner, the city gates were already closed, and it was clear that Yu Zhan could not leave the city. Qu Shuangyue then said, "Why don't you stay home tonight, Xiao Yu?"
Yu Zhan immediately said happily, "Thank you, Mother!"
Since she was sleeping at the Lin residence, Ye Qingwan and Lin Xiuyan also decided not to return to the Prince's residence and would sleep at the Lin residence as well.
Fortunately, Qu Shuangyue had anticipated that Lin Xiuyan would often come home to stay, and had already prepared a room for her.
The guest rooms at home have also been prepared, so there's no shortage of places to stay.
When Ye Junfei arrived, the three women were drinking in the Lin residence.
Lin Yunzhi watched from the side, his mouth watering, but with Qu Shuangyue watching, he dared not drink.
Yu Zhan, this military rogue, usually couldn't afford to drink because he was poor, but now, drinking the fine wine from the Lin family's residence, he quickly became drunk.
After she got a little drunk, she put her arm around Ye Qingwan's shoulder and said, "God of Wealth, please protect me from now on!"
Ye Qingwan was also slightly drunk, and at this point she was too lazy to put on airs as a princess.
She patted Yu Zhan's chest and said, "Want me to protect you? No problem, you just need to send someone!"
Yu Zhan laughed heartily: "No problem! Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingwan said, "If you dare to catch that old hag, hang her from a tree, and beat her up, I'll give you a thousand taels of gold!"
Yu Zhan's eyes lit up immediately: "It's settled then, no backing out!"
Ye Qingwan held up her finger and said, "No take-backs, pinky promise!"
The two extended their fingers, made a pinky promise, and stamped it.
After Yu Zhan stamped the seal, he asked, "Who is the old hag?"
Ye Qingwan laughed: "You ignorant fool, you don't even know what an old hag is! She is the Princess Consort of Pingnan!"
Yu Zhan: "..."
Yu Zhan: "!!!!!!!"
Is it too late for her to back out now?
She suddenly felt that one thousand taels of gold was a bit too little.
Seeing her expression, Ye Qingwan said contemptuously, "What? You don't dare? Coward!"
Yu Zhan was so provoked that he pounded his chest loudly: "There's nothing in this world I wouldn't dare to do!"
"Just you wait, within three days I will hang that old hag from a tree and beat her to a pulp!"
Ye Qingwan laughed heartily: "Alright, I'll be waiting!"
In their excitement, the two clinked their wine jars together and drank about half of them.
Ye Junfei frowned as he watched, and asked Lin Xiuyan, "When did these two become so familiar?"
Although Lin Xiuyan had drunk a little alcohol today, she was far from being drunk.
She chuckled and said, "Perhaps this is what you men mean when you say that alcohol can foster friendship!"
Ye Junfei frowned, reached out and pinched Ye Qingwan's ear, saying, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you dare to drink alcohol!"
"Ye Qingwan, are you asking for a beating!"
Ye Qingwan said somewhat guiltily, "My injuries are almost healed, I can drink a little now!"
After she finished speaking, she grinned foolishly at Ye Junfei: "Brother, it's so good that you're back. I'm not alone anymore. I have someone to protect me now!"
Ye Qingwan would never say such things when she is sober.
Ye Junfei, who had originally intended to teach her a lesson, found himself hesitant to do so.
He just said with a dark face, "If you've had too much to drink, go back to sleep. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Ye Qingwan was very well-behaved tonight, smiling and nodding: "Okay, I'll go to sleep now!"
Yu Zhan laughed loudly, "So the princess is a big coward!"
Ye Qingwan glanced at her sideways, then suddenly raised her hand and punched her in the nose, cursing, "You're the coward, your whole family are cowards!"
Yu Zhan had always thought Ye Qingwan was delicate and frail, and had no idea she knew martial arts. He was caught off guard by this attack.
She reached up and touched her nose, her fingers stained with blood.
She immediately flew into a rage: "What the hell?! How dare you hit me!"
She immediately went up and punched Ye Qingwan, and the two started fighting.
Lin Xiuyan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the scene before her.
When these two are sober, they are both incredibly calm and adept at putting on an act.
After drinking, they became increasingly irritable, and they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement!
None of the others rushed to break up the fight. Qu Shuangyue even took the opportunity to say to Lin Yunzhi, "See? This is the downside of drinking too much!"
"Such clever and witty girls, and they've turned into this after drinking!"
Lin Yunzhi has a dark history with drinking, and he was scolded by Qu Shuangyue, so he didn't dare to say a word.
Lin Xiuyan sighed, "I wonder what will happen to them after they sober up tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she said to them, "Princess, you are injured and should not fight!"
"Yu Zhan, do you still want the gold?"
This worked when they were sober, but it didn't work on the two drunkards, who continued to fight fiercely.
In the end, Lin Xiuyan and Qu Shuangyue worked together to pull the two apart.
When they were separated, both of them had bruises and looked rather disheveled, still swinging their arms, kicking their legs, and cursing.
Lin Xiuyan was truly impressed and vowed to herself that she would never let those two drink again. (cascoo.net)
Qu Shuangyue sighed, "My Yan'er is still the best. These two are such a handful. They want to be my daughter? No way!"
Lin Xiuyan said happily, "Mother is right, I am the best girl!"
Ye Junfei was both amused and exasperated by these words.
After they took the two drunkards back to their rooms, Ye Junfei took Lin Xiuyan's hand and led her back to her room.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Junfei picked Lin Xiuyan up and carried her in his arms.
She gasped, but before she could utter a sound, he silenced her with his lips.
The kiss was tender yet carried a hint of punishment, leaving Lin Xiuyan breathless.
Her lips carried a faint scent of wine, and the wine-stained lips, combined with her original sweet fragrance, held a fatal allure for Ye Junfei.
His breathing quickened involuntarily, and the kiss, which had initially carried a punitive tone, became gentle.
She had drunk some wine tonight and was already slightly tipsy, but after his kiss, she felt a little dizzy.
When Ye Junfei put her on the bed, she was still a little dazed, but her hands unconsciously hooked around his neck.
Ye Junfei's lips gently touched hers, his dark, peach-blossom eyes fixed on her.
Lin Xiuyan reached out and touched his face, following his eyebrows and eyes down to the red mole at the corner of his eye.
She let out a soft exclamation: "This red mole seems redder than usual... Your Highness, your face is redder than usual too..."
