Lin Xiuyan pulled her hand away from Ye Qingwan's and said, "Actually, it's nothing."
Ye Qingwan pulled her hand back and said, "How can you say it's nothing?"
"You've just arrived at the Prince's Mansion, so you might not know, but the old witch is extremely difficult to deal with."
"You slapped her in the face today, so you'd better be careful from now on. Her methods are extremely insidious."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and pulled her hand back again: "It's okay, I'm not afraid!"
Ye Qingwan looked at her and said, "But I'm afraid! It's not easy for my brother to get married, and you absolutely cannot make any mistakes."
"Come, come, let me tell you about the old witch's usual methods and tricks."
Lin Xiuyan looked pleadingly at Ye Junfei, who raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You might as well listen."
Ye Junfei had been away from the palace for a long time under the pretext of inspecting Liefeng Prefecture, and he also had a lot of things to deal with here.
With Ye Qingwan keeping Lin Xiuyan company, he went to attend to his own business.
As soon as he left, Ye Qingwan asked Lin Xiuyan mysteriously, "Did you consummate your marriage with my brother last night?"
Lin Xiuyan really didn't expect that she could ask such a question so confidently.
Instead of answering, Lin Xiuyan asked, "You and the young master are twins, and you're both twenty this year, right? Are you starting to feel the urge to get married?"
Ye Qingwan pulled back the cloak covering her face: "With a face like mine, who would dare to marry me?"
Lin Xiuyan took a bottle of medicine out of the trunk and handed it to her: "Apply it three times a day, and you'll definitely see improvement in a month."
She had promised to help Ye Qingwan remove the scars on her face, and it took her quite a bit of effort to prepare this bottle of medicine.
Ye Qingwan was somewhat surprised: "These can really remove the scars on my face?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Yes, I made it the day before yesterday. I was going to give it to you."
"Later I thought that I would have to prepare a gift for you after I married into the family, but I was too lazy to prepare anything extra, so I just used this to make do."
Ye Qingwan chuckled softly, "You're quite honest."
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow slightly. Ye Qingwan picked up the bottle, touched it, and said softly, "I'll keep the things for now, but we don't need them for the time being."
Lin Xiuyan asked curiously, "Why?"
Ye Qingwan said softly, "Because we are not strong enough. Once the scars on my face are gone, my scumbag father and that old hag will find a way to marry me off."
"Marriage is a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker's words; I cannot make my own decisions."
Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
In her mind, Ye Qingwan was clever and quick-witted, but she never expected that she would be controlled by others in this matter.
But upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that this is indeed the case, since not every parent is like Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue.
Ye Qingwan reached out and gently touched the bottle, then smiled slightly at Lin Xiuyan: "Thank you, I really like this gift."
After she finished speaking, she sniffed and patted Lin Xiuyan's shoulder, saying, "If there's anything you can't handle in the Prince's Mansion, you can come to me anytime."
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Okay."
Ye Qingwan took out a stack of land deeds from her bosom and handed them to her, saying, "This is part of my mother's dowry, which I was managing before."
"Now that you're married into the family, I'll leave these things to you."
Lin Xiuyan refused outright: "You can do this tiring work, don't give it to me!"
Her marriage to Ye Junfei was just a contract, and it might fall apart any day. She couldn't take any of this with her, and dealing with it would just be asking for trouble.
Ye Qingwan: "..."
Princess Pingnan had been trying to take these things from her for years. She wanted to show Lin Xiuyan the utmost sincerity, but Lin Xiuyan refused them!
She stared wide-eyed at Lin Xiuyan and said, "Do you know how much silver these are worth? And you don't want them!"
Lin Xiuyan asked casually, "As the daughter of Chongqing's richest man, do I look like I'm short of money?"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
She almost forgot that there was a group of poor people in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, while Lin Xiuyan was truly not short of money.
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "You have sacrificed too much over the years, and all of this should be yours."
"When you find someone you like in the future and marry him, take all of these with you as your dowry. That way you'll have more confidence."
Ye Qingwan's eyes reddened when she heard these words.
Lin Xiuyan was startled: "Why are you crying for no reason?"
Ye Qingwan gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled slightly at her: "Over the years, only people have schemed against me, and no one has ever spoken to me like this before."
"I am already this age, and the Prince's Mansion is in such a state, it is unlikely that I will be able to get married."
She's already twenty this year, which is considered an older woman, and it's not easy for a woman of that age to get married.
Even if she gets married, she might end up as someone else's second wife.
Lin Xiuyan said gently, "With your wonderful qualities, how could you possibly not be able to get married! You just haven't met the right person yet!"
“If you really don’t meet that person, you need to hold on to your money even tighter. My father said, ‘Having extra food in hand means you won’t panic.’”
Ye Qingwan laughed and said, "Then do you know that at least half of this silver originally belonged to you?"
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow: "My parents only have me as their daughter, and all the money in the Lin family belongs to me."
"As for the Crown Prince, I think that as a grown man, he is even less likely to try to take the money from you."
"If he wants money, he should earn it himself. It's so pathetic of him to steal the family business that his younger sister has worked so hard to protect for more than ten years."
Ye Qingwan's eyes lit up when she looked at Lin Xiuyan, but Lin Xiuyan felt a little uneasy under her gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Qingwan suddenly stood up and threw herself on Lin Xiuyan: "If you were a man, I would marry you!"
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
She had absolutely no desire to marry Ye Qingwan!
She reached out to tickle Ye Qingwan, who laughed and tickled her back. The two of them giggled and played around.
Ye Junfei was reading letters in his study not far away when he heard their movements. He raised an eyebrow slightly, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up slightly.
Wu Ge said softly, "The Crown Princess seems to get along well with the Princess."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I hope that crazy Ye Qingwan doesn't lead my wife astray. I'll have to give her a few words of advice later."
Wu Ge wanted to laugh. Given Lin Xiuyan's ferocity, who could possibly lead her astray?
Anyway, ever since he met her, she has had a remarkable track record.
Whether it was dealing with Zhou Chenyang, beating Princess Anle, or dealing with Ye Mingzhu and Princess Pingnan, it all broadened his horizons.
He dared not say this aloud, but only said, "What the young master says is true."
Ye Junfei asked, "Where is Zhou Chenyang's army hiding? Have you found out?"
He discovered the anomaly when he investigated Zhou Chenyang's iron mine.
He ordered his men to investigate along this line, and sure enough, they discovered that Zhou Chenyang had secretly raised a considerable number of soldiers.
Wu Ge replied, "We've already found it; it's in the mountains south of Chongqing."
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were as deep as the sea.
