Ye Qingwan said in a serious tone, "You're such a big person, and you still managed to knock over the stool. If you don't help it up, are you expecting me to do it for you?"
Fan Xilou chuckled awkwardly, but still got up and righted the stool.
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei immediately understood that Fan Xilou's behavior was inextricably linked to Ye Qingwan.
Lin Xiuyan's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them several times.
Ye Qingwan pretended not to see it and calmly said to Fan Xilou, "Give me one of those silver thread rolls in front of you."
Fan Xilou's face turned bright red. Instead of serving Ye Qingwan the silver thread rolls, he placed the entire plate of silver thread rolls in front of her.
Ye Qingwan smiled at him: "Thank you."
"No, no, no, you're welcome," Fan Xilou stammered.
Ye Junfei glanced at Ye Qingwan: "That's good enough."
Ye Qingwan said calmly, "What do you mean 'good enough'?"
Seeing that she was pretending to be stupid, Ye Junfei didn't bother with her.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Let's eat, let's eat!"
After they had breakfast, Ye Junfei asked Fan Xilou directly, "How did you find out that the Pingnan Prince's Mansion was related to the massacre of your family?"
After sleeping through the night, Fan Xilou calmed down.
After being teased by Ye Qingwan that morning, he was even more certain that the massacre of his family had nothing to do with them.
He then said, "After my family was wiped out, I have been investigating why they were wiped out."
"During this process, I was also chased and killed several times."
"Once, to escape being hunted down, I disguised myself as a dirty beggar and followed people begging into a manor."
"I discovered this by chance there."
He spoke of this incident calmly now, but it was actually extremely dangerous at the time.
He was discovered and almost killed.
He was quick-witted and jumped into the river, which saved him from disaster.
Ye Junfei's gaze deepened: "I will send someone to investigate this matter."
Fan Xilou looked at him: "How do we verify this?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Although all the masters of the Zhou family are dead, there will always be traces of what they did."
Fan Xilou clenched his fist, and Ye Junfei asked him with a smile, "If I gave you a chance to kill the Prince of Pingnan, would you dare to do so?"
Fan Xilou looked at Ye Junfei and asked, "You want to kill your father?"
"Do you think this is outrageous?" Ye Junfei said calmly, "He may be my father, but if he wants to kill me, am I not allowed to fight back?"
Fan Xilou paused for a moment before replying, "Of course not."
Seeing that they were all looking at him, he had no choice but to say again, "I'm just not used to it right now, that there are fathers like this in the world."
Lin Xiuyan asked him from the side, "Now that the Zhou family has been dealt with, what are your plans for the future?"
In essence, Fan Xilou killed Zhou Shuyi, thus avenging the massacre of his entire family.
If he insists on digging deeper, then the Pingnan Prince's Mansion is also related to the feud that wiped out his family.
When she thought of this, she finally understood why Fan Xilou had helped Zhou Chenyang and Ye Junfei in her previous life.
In his previous life, Fan Xilou probably wanted to use Zhou Chenyang to wipe out the entire Zhou family. He then blamed Ye Junfei, believing that Ye Junfei had instigated Zhou Lengshan to kill his whole family.
He joined Zhou Chenyang's side and helped Zhou Chenyang fight against Ye Junfei, but only wanted revenge.
In this life, because they took action against Zhou Lengshan in advance, the Zhou family was destroyed prematurely, and Zhou Chenyang was unable to rise again, so Fan Xilou had to rely on himself.
Under these circumstances, Fan Xilou would not hold a grudge against Ye Junfei for this matter.
Although he still felt somewhat gloomy, he probably wouldn't let himself live in hatred like he did in his previous life.
After thinking for a moment, Fan Xilou said, "The Zhou family has been destroyed, and if I think about it carefully, I have already avenged myself."
"I haven't thought about what will happen next."
Lin Xiuyan offered him a new idea: "My father is currently trying to take over the Zhou family's business."
"I've noticed he's been having some trouble lately. If you have some free time, could you go and help my dad out?"
Fan Xilou was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Is it possible? Can I help?"
He was the young master of the Fan family. Although he had been exposed to business matters since childhood, his father basically made the decisions, and he only assisted from the side.
He's hardly ever done anything like competing with others for business.
Lin Xiuyan immediately replied confidently, "Of course! I believe you!"
After all, she had personally witnessed Fan Xilou's abilities in this area in her previous life; he was undoubtedly a big shot.
She even suspected that he went to help Lin Yunzhi, and that in the end, it was very likely that he was the one who took Lin Yunzhi away.
Fan Xilou was naturally sensitive and shy, and he didn't receive much affirmation from her usually. He felt a little embarrassed by her affirmation at this moment.
He said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "You'll be coming with us to Liefeng City later. Why don't you stay at my house for now?"
Fan Xilou's home was destroyed, and in the past few months, he had witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
His former friends all avoided him after the incident at the Fan residence.
After discovering that he was the only one left in the Fan family, the elders and relatives of the main branch of the Fan family all tried various ways to bully him and plot against the remaining assets of the Fan family.
Nowadays, Fan Xilou is penniless and can no longer bring any value to Lin Xiuyan.
She was still the same as when they last met, caring for him, trusting him, and willing to help him. He would not let her down.
She is now married, and he will no longer have any improper thoughts about her. To him, she is both family and friend.
Fan Xilou felt a warmth in his heart and said softly, "Okay."
Seeing how readily Fan Xilou agreed, Ye Junfei's gaze turned cold.
Fan Xilou sensed the change in his emotions and said softly, "I heard the young master say that few people cared about you in your life, and I think you are quite pitiful."
"Now that I have lost all my relatives and seen through the coldness and warmth of human relationships, I can understand the feelings of the young master when he said those words."
"I don't ask for much. I dare not hope for a peaceful and joyful second half of my life. I only wish that I can still be of some use and that my true friends will not despise me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Junfei's coldness dissipated somewhat, and he said calmly, "Judging from your words, can I pity you now?"
Fan Xilou paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Yes."
Ye Junfei reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "In that case, make your life more valuable."
"Xiuyan said you can do those things well, so you must not let her down."
Fan Xilou nodded: "I will try my best."
