Lin Yunzhi coughed lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
After he finished speaking, he forced a smile at Ye Junfei and said, "She was so angry with Zhou Chenyang today that she was talking nonsense."
Ye Junfei stayed at the Lin residence for several days and had already thoroughly figured out the people there.
The Lin family's family traditions were clearly different from those of ordinary families, so fierce that they were astonishing.
The father and daughter had such a good relationship that he envied them.
He smiled but didn't respond to Lin Yunzhi's words.
To avoid embarrassment, Lin Yunzhi decided to go to the main gate to deal with Zhou Chenyang's matter first, and Lin Xiuyan hurriedly followed.
Ye Junfei tilted his peach blossom eyes slightly, chuckled softly, but did not immediately follow.
After everyone had left, he opened his fan and shouted, "No knife."
Wu Dao leaped down from the tree and bowed to him: "Your Highness, please give your orders."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "There's something I can't handle directly. You go and deal with it."
Wu Dao responded and prepared to leave, but after taking three steps, he remembered something and turned to ask Ye Junfei, "What does the young master want me to do?"
Ye Junfei couldn't bear to look at his stupid appearance and had serious doubts about whether he could do that task well.
However, he had no one else available to help him at the moment, so he had to let Wu Dao take his place.
He whispered a few words to Wu Dao, which frightened Wu Dao so much that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Young Master, I can't do it!"
Ye Junfei looked at him gently and said, "A man can't say he can't do it. I believe in you."
Wu Dao shuddered, his whole body trembling.
Ye Junfei helped him up and said, "Go and prepare. Don't disappoint me."
Wu Dao tentatively asked, "What will happen if I... what if I disappoint the Crown Prince?"
“That’s easy.” Ye Junfei said very gently, “If you can’t do this well, it means you’re useless. Useless people should be chopped up and fed to the dogs.”
No Knife: "..."
He knew his son meant what he said, and he didn't want to be chopped up and fed to the dogs!
He took a deep breath and said, "I can do it!"
Ye Junfei glanced at him sideways, too lazy to pay him any attention, opened his fan, fanned himself, and walked away with great elegance.
Wu Dao scratched his head in frustration, then quickly used his lightness skill to prepare, since he might have to go on stage at any moment.
Lin Xiuyan and Lin Yunzhi encountered Zhou Chenyang at the second gate.
Lin Yunzhi glanced at the gatekeeper, who shrank back and said, "This humble servant... could not stop the city lord."
Zhou Chenyang bowed to Lin Yunzhi with a junior's salute and said, "Regarding yesterday's events, even if there were a thousand or ten thousand reasons, I would still be held responsible."
"But I still need to explain to Uncle Lin that I was framed by a villain yesterday."
"I was unable to come to your residence to apologize in time yesterday because I wanted to arrest the person and give Uncle Lin an explanation."
Lin Xiuyan's eyes turned cold as she looked at him. He had been back in Yucheng for so long and had seen Lin Yunzhi many times, but this was the first time he had bowed to Lin Yunzhi.
After he finished speaking, he said coldly, "Bring the person up!"
Several attendants dragged over a man whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten.
Lin Yunzhi frowned slightly and asked, "Who is he?"
Zhou Chenyang replied, "The person who plotted against me yesterday."
As soon as he finished speaking, his attendant kicked the man: "Tell me everything you did yesterday!"
The man, with snot and tears streaming down his face, said, "I am Liu Er from West Street. Miss Lin humiliated me in public before."
"I hated her intensely and wanted to take revenge on her."
“Yesterday I was in the garden and saw how affectionate she and the city lord were, so I thought of breaking them up.”
"So, when she wasn't looking, I lit incense in the room, then escorted Miss Jiang to the city lord's room, and then..."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Lin Xiuyan and cursed, "A woman like you doesn't deserve happiness!"
Lin Xiuyan stared at him for a long time before finally recognizing him as a notorious thug from Chongqing. She had indeed fought with him before.
If she hadn't orchestrated yesterday's events, she probably would have believed him.
Zhou Chenyang looked at Lin Yunzhi and said, "Uncle Lin, now the truth is out. I had no intention of betraying Yan'er. It was all this villain's doing!"
Before Lin Yunzhi could speak, Lin Xiuyan had already punched Liu Er in the stomach.
Liu Er screamed in pain, and everyone looked at Lin Xiuyan in surprise.
Lin Xiuyan asked Liu Er, "Are you sure what you're saying is true?"
Liu Er clutched his stomach and said, "Of course it's true!"
Zhou Chenyang looked at Lin Xiuyan with deep affection and said, "Yan'er, I know you're angry, so feel free to vent!"
"I'd even kill him if you could forgive me!"
He brought Liu Er here today not only to testify, but also to let Lin Xiuyan vent her anger.
He felt that even though Lin Xiuyan had made a big scene last night, as long as he gave her enough face and a way out, she would obediently let him do as he pleased again.
Lin Xiuyan asked Zhou Chenyang, "Can I do anything for him?"
Zhou Chenyang nodded: "Of course, as long as you can calm down, anything is fine."
Lin Xiuyan's lips curved slightly: "Okay."
Hearing her affirmative answer, Zhou Chenyang felt half relieved.
Sure enough, she loved him to the core. No matter what happened, as long as he humbled himself to coax her, she would obediently return to his side.
If it weren't for her family being rich and him needing money urgently, he wouldn't have bothered to coax that idiot.
Lin Xiuyan took out a round object from her bosom, with a thin chain attached to it.
She said to Liu Er, "Look at this pendant, isn't it especially beautiful? Doesn't it feel very comfortable to look at?"
Liu Er originally wanted to curse a few more times, but after she took out the pendant and glanced at it, he couldn't take his eyes off it. His eyes were fixed on the pendant, and he involuntarily relaxed.
Lin Xiuyan's voice softened considerably as she said gently, "I know you're tired and need to rest."
"Don't push yourself, relax and get some rest!"
Liu Er, who was initially a bit irritable, became drowsy and weary after staring at the pendant. He quickly closed his eyes, lay down on the ground, and fell asleep.
Zhou Chenyang was somewhat surprised to see this scene. He wanted to ask her what she was doing, but she gestured for him to be quiet.
He came here today to please her, so naturally he wouldn't go against her wishes. He was just a little curious about what she was doing.
Lin Xiuyan squatted down beside Liu Er and asked softly, "Liu Er, why did you put Jiang Xinrou on Zhou Chenyang's bed?"
Liu Er muttered with his eyes closed, "I didn't do this."
Lin Xiuyan continued, "Who did it?"
"I don't know." Liu Er's voice was somewhat unsteady, yet still clear: "Zhou Chenyang arrested me and made me confess."
“He said that if I didn’t plead guilty, he would kill my whole family.”
