Lin Xiuyan said hurriedly: "I really don't mean that. I'm a little sleepy now. I'll go back and rest first. You can go home too!"
Why would Xu Qianting be willing to go home at this time? He followed her and muttered.
He recited it over and over, and the general idea was that he didn't come to help her last night because he didn't do a good job, so he asked her not to be angry.
Lin Xiuyan told him several times that she was not angry, but he didn't believe it anyway.
Lin Xiuyan was so confused by his thoughts that she felt extremely helpless.
At this moment, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats. Lin Xiuyan turned around and saw a man in a brocade robe riding a tall horse, walking towards the direction of the Lin Mansion.
Behind the man were about a hundred riders.
They were all dressed in armor, and their movements were uniform. Each of them was equipped with a big bow and arrows, and they looked very fierce.
Lin Xiuyan could tell at a glance that this was the guard of Pingnan Palace.
She also recognized the leader, who was Ye Jingxian, the second son of Pingnan Palace.
Lin Xiuyan's brows furrowed slightly. Ye Jingxian's coming to Yucheng at this time must be nothing good.
She planned to go back to the house and close the door, but just in time the servants brought out another cart of corpses.
She immediately had a headache. It was too late to ask them to pull the body back.
Sure enough, Ye Jingxian saw this scene and immediately rode over and said, "Where did so many corpses come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him immediately surrounded Lin Xiuyan and Xu Qianting.
Lin Xiuyan knew that he was very difficult to deal with. If he didn't explain clearly at this time, given his character, he might directly destroy the Lin family.
She could only say: "Last night there were gangsters who invaded Yucheng. These people broke into the house to kill people last night, but we killed them in return."
Ye Jingxian heard this and looked at her again. At this time, the sun just broke through the clouds and shone on her face, plating her whole body with a layer of gold.
She originally had a picturesque face, and although she was a little haggard after working all night last night, it did not damage her beauty at all.
Ye Jingxian was a little surprised to see such an outstanding-looking woman in a small place like Yucheng.
The most important thing is that she said murderous words and behaved in an elegant manner. She didn't seem to take the matter of murder to her heart.
Ye Jingxian said coldly: "You have killed so many people, so you must need weapons. Where did you get them?"
Lin Xiuyan was troubled by Xu Qianting just now and had a headache, and now that she had a free night, she felt a little irritable.
She said directly: "Who are you? What does this have to do with you?"
The lieutenant next to Ye Jingxian said: "How impudent! This is the second son of Pingnan Palace!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said: "It turns out that he is the second son of Prince Pingnan. People who don't know may think he is the eldest son of Prince Pingnan."
Ye Jingxian's face changed slightly when he heard this.
Over the years, Ye Junfei has not been in Prince Pingnan's palace, and he has been trained by Prince Pingnan.
Although he is not the crown prince, his status in the palace is higher than that of the crown prince Ye Junfei.
He said coldly: "Bold! In my opinion, you killed people openly and hid weapons secretly. This is a punishable crime. Come and arrest her!"
The soldiers behind him were about to catch Lin Xiuyan.
Xu Qianting thought he had his chance, so he kicked a soldier to the ground with a flying kick.
Lin Xiuyan knew that things couldn't go well today, so she knocked the other soldier to the ground with a sweep of his legs.
Ye Jingxian did not expect that they would actually resist, his eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately said in a cold voice: "You dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"
Immediately, more than ten soldiers dismounted and came to arrest Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan knew that the combat effectiveness of the guards of Pingnan Palace was not low, and there were many of them.
She had been fighting all night and was already exhausted. She wouldn't be able to take advantage of them by fighting openly like this.
She could only say: "Second Young Master has misunderstood. It is not that we hide weapons secretly, nor is it that we commit mass murders in the light."
"But the prince lives in my house, and he killed these people."
Of course Ye Jingxian would not believe her words, and immediately said: "The prince lives in your house? You lied too much!"
"Come here, this family is hiding weapons and has evil intentions. Let me kill them all!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Is Ye Jingxian so arrogant at this time?
She clearly remembered Ye Jingxian in her previous life, when she saw Ye Junfei, she was like a mouse trembling with fear when seeing a cat!
She originally wanted to use Ye Junfei's name to scare Ye Jingxian away, but she didn't expect that he would kill someone as soon as he heard Ye Junfei's name!
Qu Shuangyue happened to be at the door. When she heard the noise, she immediately rushed out waving a big knife.
When she saw these people using their swords, she was afraid that Lin Xiuyan would suffer a loss, so she slashed a guard away with one strike: "Who dares to hurt my Yan'er!"
Ye Jingxian is the heir apparent to King Pingnan, and no one has ever dared to disobey him like this.
His face was very ugly, and he said coldly: "Arrange the bow array!"
The soldiers who had fought with Lin Xiuyan immediately retreated. Dozens of soldiers held bows and arrows, aiming at Lin Xiuyan and others.
Qu Shuangyue realized something was wrong and asked Lin Xiuyan: "Who are they?"
Lin Xiuyan replied: "The leader said he is the second son of Pingnan Palace."
Qu Shuangyue frowned slightly: "Are you from Prince Pingnan's Mansion again?"
Lin Xiuyan also had a headache, and when she was about to take Qu Shuangyue and hide back to the Lin Mansion, she heard a female voice say: "How presumptuous!"
Ye Qingwan walked out, Ye Jingxian's expression changed slightly: "Sister! Why are you here?"
Ye Qingwan didn't answer his question, walked up to him, raised her hand and gave him a slap in the face.
Lin Xiuyan and Qu Shuangyue were both stunned for a moment. They really didn't expect this operation.
Ye Jingxian's face was hit slightly to the side, but he did not dare to fight back.
Ye Qingwan scolded: "Ye Jingxian, you are worthless!"
"When you go out, you use the royal guards to bully ordinary people without asking any questions."
"My father has always loved his people as his son. As for your behavior today, not only a slap in the face, but also a beating to death are fine!"
Ye Jingxian covered his face and said, "That's what the elder sister taught you."
Ye Qingwan glanced around, looked at the soldiers and said, "What? You feel a sense of accomplishment in bullying the unarmed people?"
All the soldiers knelt on the ground.
Lin Xiuyan was a little surprised when she saw this scene. She really didn't know that Ye Qingwan could not only teach Ye Jingxian a lesson, but also make the palace guards surrender.
Ye Qingwan said loudly: "My father loves the people as much as his sons. He has repeatedly emphasized that even if we are descendants of the royal family, we must never look down on any common people."
"Ye Jingxian, do you still remember what the ninth rule of the royal family rules is?"
Ye Jingxian's expression was very complicated, but he still said: "Article 9 of the family rules, any descendant of the royal family of the Yes clan must not use power to bully others..."
He didn't say anything further. Ye Qingwan looked at him and said, "Keep memorizing it!"
