Madam Qu laughed when she heard this, exchanged a few polite words with the Princess of Pingnan, and then went to find Ye Qingwan.
As she left, Princess Pingnan gave a cold laugh, but a fire was burning inside her.
Yan Nan spat lightly and said, "I had heard about the Qu family's reputation before, and I thought they were a family that valued integrity and trustworthiness."
"Now it seems that they were nothing more than people who sought fame and fortune."
"Right now, the Princess Consort and the Second Young Master haven't lost power yet, and they're already thinking of winning over Ye Junfei!"
"Aren't they afraid of betting on the wrong thing, offending the princess, and losing their lives in the future!"
Princess Pingnan said coldly, "I did indeed overestimate the Qu family before."
"They just want to have their cake and eat it too, so they can marry both Mingzhu and Ye Qingwan."
"They thought that whether Xian'er or Ye Junfei became the Prince of Pingnan, it would be very beneficial to them."
"But they didn't consider what kind of person Ye Qingwan was, or what kind of person Ye Junfei was."
"Just wait and see, they'll definitely be beaten out by Ye Qingwan."
As it turned out, Princess Pingnan's prediction was wrong. Not only did Ye Qingwan not beat Madam Qu out, but she also smiled and sent her out of the palace.
Princess Pingnan looked extremely grim upon hearing this news.
Because she had already guessed Ye Qingwan's intentions; Ye Qingwan wanted to use the power of the Qu family to help Ye Junfei build momentum.
The reason why Princess Pingnan made such a misjudgment was simply because of her act of disfiguring herself when she wanted to marry Ye Qingwan off several years ago.
She forgot that Ye Qingwan had always been extremely ruthless to herself, and marrying into the Qu family was definitely not a bad thing for Ye Qingwan.
After all, Qu Zheng is handsome and two years younger than Ye Qingwan, so Ye Qingwan is not at a disadvantage in this marriage.
Princess Pingnan felt a little flustered when she thought about these things.
Because they have lost so much during this period!
If this continues, they might really be overwhelmed by Ye Junfei.
Given what she had done to Ye Junfei before, there was no way Ye Junfei would let them off the hook.
Therefore, if Ye Jingxian cannot become the Prince of Pingnan, they will likely all die!
Princess Pingnan had originally planned to go to the Hu residence to discuss matters the next day, but now she couldn't wait a moment longer.
As soon as Doctor Qu left, Princess Pingnan had a sedan chair prepared and went to the Hu residence.
As soon as she left the manor, someone informed Ye Qingwan of the news.
Ye Qingwan's lips curled slightly as she looked at Yu Zhan and said, "Get ready, let's get to work!"
Yu Zhan chuckled and said, "Your Highness is amazing! You even figured that out!"
Previously, Ye Qingwan told Yu Zhan that the Princess Consort of Pingnan would definitely leave the mansion within three days, but Yu Zhan didn't quite believe it.
Now that Princess Pingnan has left, and Yu Zhan has accepted Ye Qingwan's money, she naturally has to do her work.
Lin Xiuyan then asked Ye Qingwan, "Are you really going to marry Qu Zheng?"
"Of course not." Ye Qingwan raised her chin slightly: "The Qu family is nothing but a bunch of scoundrels who seek fame and fortune."
"The boys raised by their family will definitely not be good people."
"To be honest, I look down on the men of the Qu family. They want to marry me? They're not worthy!"
Lin Xiuyan asked, "Then why did you agree to Madam Qu's request just now?"
Lin Xiuyan wasn't there when Madam Qu arrived; she came after hearing the commotion.
Ye Qingwan's lips curled slightly as she said, "They want to use me to bind my brother and secure the greatest benefit for their family."
"Why can't I use their reputation to boost my brother's momentum and get those who are still hesitant to stand on his side?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at her with some concern and said, "But if this happens, it may be really difficult for you to get married in the future."
Ye Qingwan said dismissively, "I already said that I never thought about getting married."
"So I don't care about reputation. What I'm doing now can help my brother and also annoy that old hag. Why not?"
She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "When you think about it, I've really hit the jackpot!"
Seeing her like this, Lin Xiuyan felt a pang of heartache. The scars on her face, which she had disfigured herself by refusing to marry, had not yet completely faded.
Lin Xiuyan already knew that she was always decisive and had a great sense of the big picture.
But Lin Xiuyan really didn't expect that she was so indifferent to her marriage.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Ye Qingwan and said, "After this matter is over, I will help you choose a suitable husband."
Ye Qingwan laughed and said, "Really, there's no need. I'm not obsessed with men. Anyway, no matter how good any man in the world is, he won't be as good as my brother."
After she finished speaking, she put her hand lightly on Lin Xiuyan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in my brother and I won't compete with you for him."
Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at her.
She then said, "I promise you, if I ever meet a man I like, I'll kidnap him and sleep with him."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Okay, with someone like her, saying anything is pointless.
A hint of helplessness flickered in Ye Qingwan's eyes. Meeting someone you like is never easy. (cascoo.net)
She looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "If I don't meet a man I like, you'll have to support me!"
Lin Xiuyan, unable to bear it any longer, shoved her away and said, "Get out!"
Ye Qingwan let out two strange whimpers: "You heartless bastard, you sleep with men every day now, and this is how you treat me!"
"You weren't like this before, you were always so gentle with me!"
Lin Xiuyan kicked her aside this time, afraid that she might impulsively beat her to death!
Princess Pingnan spent most of the day discussing the matter at the main residence of the Hu family.
It was almost midnight when she came out of the Hu family's main residence.
There is no moon in the sky tonight, only a few stars hanging there.
The entire city of Galewind was asleep, and apart from the patrolling guards and watchmen, there were no other pedestrians on the streets.
A few lanterns hung under the eaves of some shops along the street, making the night seem even deeper.
This wasn't the first time Princess Pingnan had returned home late at night, and she remained remarkably calm upon seeing the night scene.
In her view, the entire Liefeng City was under her control, and she had no need to worry about those blind fools daring to attack her.
However, there was a hint of worry in her eyes; her conversation with the head of the Hu family today had not been particularly pleasant.
Although the head of the Hu family agreed to all her requests, she could sense his worry.
So before she left, she said directly, "As long as Xian'er becomes the Prince of Pingnan, the entire Liefeng Prefecture will belong to my Hu family."
These words pleased the head of the Hu family greatly. He expressed his full support in helping Ye Jingxian become the heir apparent and succeed as the Prince of Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan knew that these things were easy to say but not easy to do.
After she got into the sedan chair, she reached out and rubbed her temples.
Since Zongzheng started causing trouble at the Prince of Pingnan's residence, she hadn't had a proper rest, and by this time, she was quite tired.
