Chapter 227 Don't fall for his tricks



Yan Jiushu originally thought that Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan had already made a big deal out of framing Ye Jingxian in the ancestral hall.

The Prince's Mansion will be quiet for a while.

Unexpectedly, they committed murder and arson in the Prince's mansion, acting as if they wanted to ascend to heaven!

Ye Junfei was already very bold in his actions, and now it seems that Lin Xiuyan is even more so.

He understood a little why Ye Junfei liked Lin Xiuyan; the two were clearly birds of a feather!

Lin Xiuyan greeted him with a smile and was about to go inside when he called out to her, "Princess Consort, please wait a moment."

Lin Xiuyan glanced at him and said, "I know what you're going to say."

"I can only tell you that it's impossible."

Yan Jiushu frowned: "I didn't say anything, how could you possibly know what I was going to say? I'm not familiar with you."

Lin Xiuyan smiled. Yan Jiushu was not familiar with her, but she was very familiar with Yan Jiushu.

In her previous life, Yan Jiushu was her senior brother. He often talked about her, and he would help her when she was in trouble.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "You just want to advise me to behave myself in the Prince's mansion and not cause trouble for the young master."

"At the same time, I will not encourage the Crown Prince to do dangerous things. If he does something dangerous, I will have to persuade him again."

Yan Jiushu: "..."

She guessed everything he was thinking!

He looked at her with some shock: "How did you know?"

"Is it hard to guess?" Lin Xiuyan crossed her arms. "These emotions are written all over your face."

Yan Jiushu: "..."

He always thought he was quite shrewd and wouldn't easily let others see what he was thinking.

But with her, he became a man with nothing on his face, completely without guile.

He said in a deep voice, "The Crown Princess should know the Crown Prince's current situation."

"If his conflict with the people in the Prince's mansion becomes too acute, they might resort to desperate measures!"

Lin Xiuyan nodded: "I agree with your point of view, but do you think they will let him off the hook if the prince keeps a low profile?"

Yan Jiushu was taken aback.

The intention of Prince Pingnan to depose Ye Junfei was basically written in plain sight.

Regardless of what kind of person Ye Junfei is, the Prince of Pingnan wants to support Ye Jingxian as his heir.

A deposed crown prince is doomed.

Lin Xiuyan glanced at him and said, "I think you already know the answer in your heart. They won't let him go."

"Since they won't let the young master go no matter whether he's cautious or arrogant, why not make yourself happier?"

"The conflict between the Crown Prince and them was originally irreconcilable. If they are cornered, they will easily expose their weaknesses."

"If they don't jump over the wall, but instead hide in the corner, plotting and scheming, and then suddenly jump out to bite the prince, do you think that would be better?"

Yan Jiushu: "..."

He recalled the past six months since Ye Junfei returned to the palace; to some extent, Ye Junfei's situation was not good.

Lin Xiuyan chuckled softly, a cold glint in her clear almond-shaped eyes: "I hate those dogs that lurk and bite."

“They’re secretly plotting dirty tricks, so we’ll use sticks to drive them out of the shadows.”

"I refuse to believe I can't cripple them!"

Yan Jiushu looked at her expression, which was hard to describe, but her words seemed to make some sense.

However, he still felt that her words were somewhat unreasonable.

He said in a deep voice, "But the current prince is not strong enough to confront them head-on!"

"Who wants to confront them head-on?" Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "Which eye of yours saw us going to confront them head-on?"

“Last night the prince had a high fever, so we stayed in the room all night.”

Yan Jiushu was taken aback again.

Upon careful consideration, he realized that although the matter had caused a great stir, there was no evidence to prove that they were the ones who did it.

Lin Xiuyan reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Young Master Yan, there are many kinds of arrogance."

"To be so arrogant as to make people know that the other party did it, yet be unable to produce a single piece of evidence, that is another level of arrogance."

“I understand your concerns, but rather than letting them scheme to harm us, we should take the initiative and control the pace ourselves.”

"If one comes, we'll kill it; if two come, we'll slap them both to death!"

When Yan Jiushu met Lin Xiuyan's calm yet arrogant eyes, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Lin Xiuyan exudes confidence, possessing a sharp edge yet remaining gentle, making her captivating.

He awkwardly pulled her hand away from his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "The Crown Princess has only been in the Prince's residence for a few days. Does she know how deep the water is here?"

Lin Xiuyan chuckled and said, "I came to the Prince's mansion by boat, why would I care how many turtles are in the water?"

"The waves those turtles are making are too big, so we can just fish them out, stew them, and eat them!"

Yan Jiushu: "..."

He glared at her and said, "I can't argue with you. If something happens to you, don't cry then!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Xiuyan chuckled softly when she saw him like this; his personality seemed to be the same as in her previous life.

He meant well, but he was also fussy and awkward.

When Lin Xiuyan lifted the curtain and went in, Ye Junfei was half-lying on the bed reading a book.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting lush green bamboo outside. A gentle breeze drifted in, ruffling Ye Junfei's dark hair; he looked like a figure from a painting.

Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene.

Ye Junfei put down the book in his hand and said, "Jiu Shu is conservative by nature, you don't need to take his words to heart."

Lin Xiuyan smiled: "I know he genuinely cares about you, that's why he told me those things."

"Since his intentions were good, why would I hold it against him?"

Ye Junfei extended his hand to her, and she smiled as she placed her hand in his palm.

He said gently, "You've been planning everything for me like this, are you willing to spend your whole life with me?"

Lin Xiuyan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled softly, "I don't know!"

"What I said to Yan Jiushu outside just now was nonsense. Actually, I just couldn't stand being bullied."

"If someone comes to bully me, I will naturally fight back. It has nothing to do with you."

Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow and looked at her, saying, "Going along with what I say will make me happier."

"In a marriage, comforting your partner more often can help strengthen your relationship."

Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet whether I want to spend my whole life with you."

"I'll tell you after I've thought it through. You think you can coax me into agreeing to be with you for life right now? No way!"

His schemes were always very sophisticated; she wasn't going to fall for them!

Ye Junfei sighed and said, "My life is so miserable!"

Lin Xiuyan knew he was always good at pretending, and his so-called suffering sounded like a joke to her.
