There were plenty of men in the military tent who had that kind of need, so she was making the best use of them.
Upon learning of the Prince of Pingnan's arrangements for her, the woman's vision went black, and she fainted immediately.
The Prince of Pingnan didn't care about this at all; it was just a pawn to be discarded in a game, and he didn't need to care whether she lived or died.
What he cared about at this moment was that the operation had failed, and his original plan to sow discord between Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan had completely fallen through.
He took a deep breath and said, "I didn't want to go too far, but you forced me to."
When this news reached Ye Mingzhu and Ye Jingxian, they were both delighted.
This is because it means that the Prince of Pingnan will personally deal with Ye Junfei, and in that case, they will be the ones who benefit.
Ye Mingzhu said with a smile, "Brother, just you wait and see, Ye Junfei is doomed this time!"
In her mind, the Prince of Pingnan was omnipotent; as long as he made a move, Ye Junfei would have no chance of survival.
Ye Jingxian and Ye Mingzhu shared the same thoughts, but he thought about things more deeply than Ye Mingzhu.
At present, the Prince of Pingnan is somewhat dissatisfied with the Princess Consort of Pingnan, and even has some very bad suspicions.
Under these circumstances, the Prince of Pingnan might not be willing to pass the throne to him.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Has there been any movement from the Zhou residence recently?"
Ever since he failed to collect the silver from the Zhou residence last time, he had someone keep an eye on the place, and Ye Mingzhu was in charge of that matter.
Ye Mingzhu replied, "Zhou Shuyi hasn't returned since he left last time."
"There's been no movement from the Zhou residence, and I'm starting to feel uneasy."
Ye Jingxian asked, "Nothing's happening? What does that mean?"
Ye Mingzhu replied, "The gates of the Zhou residence are tightly closed, and not even the servants have entered or left."
Ye Jingxian was being groomed by the Prince of Pingnan as his successor, and he knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this.
He immediately summoned his trusted confidants and ordered them to thoroughly investigate what had happened at the Zhou residence.
The confidant quickly reported: "When Zhou Shuyi left Liefeng City, he took all the valuables from the Zhou residence with him."
"When my subordinates sneaked into the Zhou residence, there was nothing left inside."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingxian felt a wave of dizziness, while Ye Mingzhu exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?"
"Zhou Shuyi took everything from the Zhou residence? Where did he get the audacity?"
The confidant couldn't answer this question; he also wanted to know where Zhou Shuyi got the audacity.
Ye Mingzhu said somewhat impatiently, "Many of the Zhou family's properties belong to my mother!"
"Zhou Shuyi took these things away; that's stealing from the Prince's mansion! You immediately send someone to bring him back!"
The confidant responded and went to chase after Zhou Shuyi.
However, they also knew that Zhou Shuyi had been away from Liefeng City for quite some time.
By the time they start chasing him, Zhou Shuyi has already run far ahead, and they most likely won't be able to catch up.
Ye Mingzhu was unaware of the seriousness of the matter at this time, but Ye Jingxian was.
Currently, the Hu clan is being suppressed by the Ye clan, and the Hu clan has lost several key positions.
Nowadays, their hearts are unsettled, and they need money to appease them.
Now that the Zhou family is in trouble, it means that they will no longer have the financial support from the Zhou family.
If the Hu family can't hold on, then they will have no support left.
As Ye Jingxian thought about this, cold sweat broke out on his back.
He said softly, "We can't go on like this."
Ye Mingzhu was also somewhat flustered: "Brother, what should we do?"
Ye Jingxian took a deep breath and said, "The longer the current situation drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."
"In this situation, we need to strike first."
The luminous pearl asked, "How should we make the first move?"
Ye Jingxian replied, "As long as I become the Prince of Pingnan, all of this will come to an end."
Ye Mingzhu said with some concern, "You are not the heir apparent now, and your father is in his prime. How can you become the Prince of Pingnan?"
Ye Jingxian didn't speak. Ye Mingzhu looked at him and saw the murderous intent in his eyes, which startled her.
She took Ye Jingxian's hand and asked, "Brother, what do you want to do?"
Ye Jingxian gently patted the back of her hand and said, "I was forced to do this."
The brother and sister looked at each other; one's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, while the other's were filled with astonishment.
Ye Mingzhu was, after all, a young lady raised in seclusion, pampered by the Princess of Pingnan, so she was quite capable in domestic power struggles.
However, when it comes to power struggles and scheming within a family, they are truly insignificant.
Ye Mingzhu had a premonition. She opened her mouth, then took a deep breath and said, "I'll listen to my brother!"
Because she had discovered that the Prince of Pingnan did not value her as much as she had expected.
The only person who can support her is Ye Jingxian.
At this moment, she began to understand why Ye Qingwan had helped Ye Junfei in that way.
Ye Jingxian glanced at his still-healing leg and felt a surge of resentment.
If his legs hadn't been broken, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Because of this, he began to hate Ye Qingwan again. If it weren't for her, how could he have become like this?
He forgot that it was he who wanted to kill Ye Qingwan in the first place.
When Lin Xiuyan returned from outside, Ye Junfei told her about what had happened that day.
After listening, she clicked her tongue a few times: "I really can't believe that an old man like you would use such methods."
"Has he been spending too much time with that old hag and learned all her underhanded tricks?"
She always felt that the Prince of Pingnan was petty and had a gloomy aura about him.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "If you think about it carefully, these methods weren't learned from the old witch, but rather the old witch was learning from him."
Lin Xiuyan chuckled upon hearing this. These words were an insult, implying that the Prince of Pingnan was effeminate.
She asked him, "Didn't you ask that old geezer what kind of noble lady he wanted to arrange for you to be his principal wife?"
"What if she's a stunning beauty? Wouldn't it be a shame to reject her like this?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I don't care who she is. In my eyes, all women in this world are other than you."
What do other people have to do with me?
Lin Xiuyan said with some regret, "It's pleasing to the eye to marry a beautiful woman."
Ye Junfei glanced at her sideways, and she smiled again, "All the beauties in the world combined are not as handsome as the young master."
Ye Junfei reached out and tapped her forehead: "All you do is talk nonsense all day long."
Lin Xiuyan noticed that although his tone wasn't very gentle, his eyes were full of smiles, which meant that he liked what he was saying.
She thought his personality was unique; he was jealous of both men and women.
