This was the first time that Lin Xiuyan heard Ye Junfei talk about King Pingnan and his mother and concubine.
She had thought it strange before. Normally, even if the former Princess Pingnan died, Ye Junfei should still have a mother clan.
However, he and Ye Qingwan had no support from their mother clan over the years, and their lives were extremely difficult.
It turns out that the clan of the former Princess Pingnan was wiped out. These motherless siblings, with or without a father, have lived a very difficult life in these years.
She reached out and gently held his hand. He smiled softly and continued, "Uncle Wu has always regretted it."
"If he had come to save the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law would not have died so early."
Lin Xiuyan thought for a while and then said: "You can't blame Uncle Wu for this. It can only be said that fate has a way with people."
Ye Junfei said softly: "It can't be said to be a trick of fate, it can only be said to be the shamelessness of old age."
"The Jiang clan is rich in beauties, and the mother-in-law is the most beautiful one in the Jiang clan. After he got interested, he started to fall in love and finally abandoned her."
"In order to consolidate his throne, his mother and concubine became a sacrifice."
Because of what King Pingnan did, he felt that if a child is just a product of desire and a man is not responsible after the child is born, it would be better not to have the child.
He had seen too many calculations and had no extravagant hopes for love, until he met Lin Xiuyan directly.
During the time he lived in the Lin Mansion, he saw the way Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue got along, which made him realize that there were such loving couples in the world.
He felt that maybe he could be a good husband and father.
Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but cursed: "King Pingnan is really nothing."
Ye Junfei held her hand tighter: "I think so too."
The two of them smiled at each other and walked to a busy place together. They saw a speeding carriage passing by the roadside quickly, and pedestrians on the roadside dodged.
For a moment, there were screams of exclamation on the road, and several people accidentally fell down.
The carriage knocked over a vendor's basket, and the fruits in the basket were scattered all over the floor.
There was a child standing in the middle of the road. He seemed to have been separated from his family. He was standing in the middle of the road crying. He didn't know how to dodge when the carriage came.
Lin Xiuyan became angry when she saw this scene, and used Qing Kung Fu to take the child away.
The horse's hooves raised up and stepped on her. A burst of white light flashed and chopped off the horse's hooves and head.
Blood spilled out and splashed on the wall nearby.
The carriage lost power and rushed forward heavily. The horse's body was wrapped with the carriage and overturned on the side of the road. There were exclamations from the carriage.
The driver yelled angrily: "Who is that? How brave!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the whip and was about to whip it at Ye Junfei, but before he raised his hand, his hand tendon had already been severed.
The driver screamed in pain: "Who are you? How dare you commit murder on the street! Do you know who we are?"
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were slightly slanted, his face was gentle, but there was no warmth in his eyes: "No matter who you are, you can't ride a horse in the street."
"This is a ban in Gale Wind City. You don't know that, right?"
The coachman usually acted very arrogantly because of his noble status as his master, and did not take the lives of ordinary people into consideration.
When he saw that although Ye Junfei had a good demeanor, he had never seen him before, he said: "Who do you think you are? Why should you teach me a lesson?"
"I've never heard of Gale Wind City's ban! Don't leave, just wait for me!"
After he finished speaking, he used his other uninjured hand to pull the carriage.
Ye Junfei ignored him, walked to Lin Xiuyan and asked, "Are you okay?"
When Lin Xiuyan came over just now, she was not injured, but the child in her arms was so frightened that she started crying.
There was such a big noise here, and the child's father rushed over.
He thanked Lin Xiuyan and said, "Girls, are you from out of town? Hurry up, this is the carriage of the Zhou family."
"They usually act extremely arrogantly, and Prince Pingnan's Palace backs them up, causing them to be killed or injured!"
Lin Xiuyan frowned: "Zhou Mansion? Which Zhou Mansion?"
The child's father replied softly: "Which other Zhou family could it be?"
"There are many people with the surname Zhou in the entire Gale Wind City. When we talk about the Zhou Mansion, everyone will only think of the Zhou Mansion in Zhouling Mountain."
When Lin Xiuyan heard the words "Zhou Lingshan", her eyebrows raised slightly.
What a coincidence!
Yesterday, she was still thinking about what kind of person Zhou Lingshan would be. If he was an honest businessman, she would be embarrassed to do anything.
But if Zhou Lingshan is a scumbag who relies on the power of the palace to bully the people, then she will not feel any pressure or guilt when she takes action.
The coachman had opened the door of the carriage, and a young man covered in blood came out.
The young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a big bump on his head and looked a little embarrassed.
He is dressed in rich clothes, has squinting eyes, a garlic nose, thin lips and a big mouth, and has a very mean face.
After he stood up straight, he began to curse: "What bastard is so ignorant that he dares to stop my carriage!"
The child's father shivered when the young man came out of the carriage.
He whispered to Ye Junfei: "This is Zhou Shuyi, the eldest son of Zhou Lingshan, please leave quickly!"
After he finished speaking, he ignored Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, hugged the child and ran away.
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei looked at each other, and she said with a cold face: "You are riding a horse in the street, is it possible that you are still reasonable?"
Zhou Shuyi's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Lin Xiuyan. It was rare for him to see such a beauty.
He looked at Lin Xiuyan with narrowed eyes and said, "The little beauty also likes to meddle in other people's business, which is a bit interesting."
He wiped the blood on his face and said, "If an ordinary person collided with me like this, I would definitely have someone beat me to death with sticks."
"My little beauty looks good, let's do this. You go home with me, serve me well, and I will let you go."
Ye Junfei wanted to chop him with a sword, but Lin Xiuyan pressed his hand down and told him not to worry.
Lin Xiuyan said unhurriedly: "Ask me to serve you. From your tone, it seems that you often rob civilian girls?"
Zhou Shuyi glanced at her and then at Ye Junfei beside her.
Her appearance is outstanding, and Ye Junfei's appearance is equally outstanding, but there are no guards around her.
This means that although these two people are good-looking, their status is not too high and they can be bullied by him.
He is the overlord of Gale Wind City and knows all the powerful people in Gale Wind City, but he has never met them.
Ye Junfei returned to the palace for a short time. Although he was the crown prince, he did not serve in the palace. Only relatives of the royal family had seen him.
Although Zhou Mansion has a large business, it is just a merchant.
Zhou Lingshan was a confidant of Princess Pingnan and had met Ye Junfei before. Zhou Shuyi's status was too low and he was not qualified to meet Ye Junfei.
Zhou Shuyi chuckled softly: "What does it mean to rob a civilian girl? It's your blessing that I like you."
"Whether you follow me obediently now, or whether I kidnap you back, it's your choice."
