Lin Xiuyan leaned close to him and kissed him on the forehead, saying, "This isn't nonsense, it's what I really think!"
Ye Junfei chuckled softly and reached out to pull her over to sit on his lap.
He said softly, "The old geezer didn't get his way this time, and given his personality, he definitely won't give up."
"He has always been ruthless in his actions, so you must be very careful when you go out in the future."
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Don't worry, from now on I'll bring all my weapons with me when I go out. If anyone dares to lay a hand on me, I'll kill him!"
Ye Junfei felt somewhat relieved when he thought about the various strange and powerful things that were often tied to her body.
Ye Junfei asked, "Did you send Fan Xilou to the Lin residence?"
After they parted ways at the city gate, Lin Xiuyan first took Fan Xilou to the Lin residence to settle in.
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "I told my father about the Fan family's affairs, and he was quite angry."
“My father has always liked Fan Xilou. Now that he’s staying at the Lin residence, my father won’t mistreat him.”
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I know, Father wanted you to marry him before."
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "Are you jealous again? My father was always looking for a suitable man to be my husband so that I wouldn't marry Zhou Chenyang."
“If he hadn’t had that mindset back then, you probably wouldn’t have been able to enter the Lin family mansion.”
She pursed her lips slightly and said, "You have no idea how scared I was when I found out my father wanted you to be my etiquette tutor!"
When this matter was mentioned, a smile appeared in Ye Junfei's eyes.
He stayed by her side back then only because her special constitution could suppress the poison in his body.
Now he is very glad that he shamelessly stayed by her side back then.
He gently hugged her and asked, "Am I that scary?"
Lin Xiuyan reached out and gently pinched his cheek, smiling slightly: "Don't you know how scary you are?"
Ye Junfei chuckled softly, gently pressing his forehead against hers, and said, "I have never been willing to hurt you."
Lin Xiuyan thought back to when they first met after her rebirth, although he was violent and bloodthirsty, he had never truly harmed her.
She said gently, "Yes, you have never really hurt me, it's just that I didn't understand that before."
She looked at him and asked, "When did you start liking me?"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Junfei said, "I don't know. Who can really understand feelings?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly and put her arm around his waist, saying, "That's true."
No matter what storms the future may bring, they will face them together without fear.
Ye Junfei was worried that the Prince of Pingnan would target Lin Xiuyan, and as it turned out, his worries were justified.
However, the Prince of Pingnan did not carry out the assassination attempt that Ye Junfei had expected; he used an open approach instead.
He directly invited Zongzheng and the Ye clan members, and then called Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei over.
As soon as they entered, the Prince of Pingnan got straight to the point: "I have always recognized Xiu'er's abilities."
"However, our Ye clan has a noble bloodline, and our eldest grandson must not be born to a merchant's daughter under any circumstances."
"I, as his father, owe him too much. In the past, when Xiu'er wanted to act recklessly and insisted on marrying Lin, I couldn't stop him."
“He has been back at the Prince of Pingnan’s residence for almost a year now. I think he is very outstanding and capable of inheriting my throne.”
"I felt that he had gone astray in some ways and needed to be brought back."
"Therefore, today I would like to ask you all to be my witnesses and to recommend a woman of excellent character and appearance to be my Crown Prince's consort."
The members of the Night Clan were somewhat surprised to hear this, but their eyes quickly lit up.
Lin Xiuyan's background was indeed very humble, and she was not worthy of Ye Junfei's status, which gave them some objections.
However, Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan had a very good relationship, so they didn't want to interfere too much.
When the Prince of Pingnan brought up this matter, they felt that there was a lot of room for maneuver in the matter, and that the Prince of Pingnan could be the bad guy.
Although their surname is Ye, their wives' families have women of marriageable age.
If Ye Junfei were to marry a woman from their wife's family, their relationship with Ye Junfei would become closer.
Then, if that woman whispers something in Ye Junfei's ear, they will benefit even more.
They immediately chimed in, "Your Highness is right."
“The Crown Prince is of noble status and will inherit the throne in the future. The Queen Consort is of high status and cannot be an ordinary merchant’s daughter.”
“I wanted to tell the Crown Prince about this before. Lin’s background is too low, and she is not worthy to be the Crown Prince’s wife.”
Lin Xiuyan remained remarkably calm as she listened to the Ye clan members gossiping and making irresponsible remarks.
She had experienced the shamelessness of the Prince of Pingnan before, and today was just another experience for him.
I wouldn't say I was angry, but I was absolutely disgusted.
She knew what the Prince of Pingnan was planning; Ye Junfei was relying on the Ye clan to turn the tide.
In the eyes of the Prince of Pingnan, no matter which move he makes, he will win.
Because he knew clearly the greed of the Ye clan, and knew that if they wanted to gain greater benefits, they would agree to put women into Ye Junfei's room.
If the blockade is successful, the Ye clan will be able to obtain more benefits from Ye Junfei.
If the attempt to block it fails, Ye Junfei will offend the Ye clan.
Therefore, today Ye Junfei will either divorce her or offend the Ye clan; his intentions are truly sinister.
The Prince of Pingnan gave her a cold look. She had disrespected him several times, and he had long disliked her.
He used to disdain fighting with women and hoped that the Princess of Pingnan would kill Lin Xiuyan, but in the end, he ended up getting himself into trouble.
Since he had no one else available, he had no choice but to deal with her himself.
He looked at Ye Junfei and said, "Xiu'er, we're all doing this for your own good."
"Your status is what it is; your wife's status is too low, which is an insult to you."
"I know you and Lin have a good relationship, but your legitimate son must be born to a noblewoman."
"Just as I said before, Lin will be demoted to a concubine, but you can still be together."
His words were very well-considered, making him seem like a father who cares about his son.
However, he knew perfectly well that neither Ye Junfei nor Lin Xiuyan would agree to this.
He was able to speak so eloquently precisely because he knew they wouldn't agree.
He glanced at Lin Xiuyan, a hint of disdain in his eyes; his meaning was quite clear:
Someone like you actually thinks you can fight me!
Zongzheng roughly understood what the Prince of Pingnan was planning.
For him, Ye Junfei was the best candidate to succeed the Prince of Pingnan, and as for Lin Xiuyan, he felt it didn't matter.
After all, Lin Xiuyan's status was too low, and she was indeed not worthy of Ye Junfei.
