“Do you really think that I dare not enter the palace? Liu Yunyan, if you act like this today, you can just wait for your head to fall off when I go to the palace to report to His Majesty,” the Duke of Protectorate was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He must go to the palace to file a complaint.

Liu Yunyan raised her lips slightly and said nonchalantly, "Then wait until you win the lawsuit."

"You... humph, I'll go into the palace right away," the Duke of Protectorate turned around angrily and asked people to prepare the carriage to enter the palace.

"Grandfather," Lin Xuanyu finally grabbed the Duke of Protectorate's sleeve, "Please don't be impulsive."

"What? You want to plead for her? Look at what she did today," the Duke of Protectorate was so angry that he wanted to shake off Lin Xuanyu's hand.

"Grandfather, we did something wrong. You used the Queen Mother's order to invite people here, but you didn't open the door when they came. This matter has been reported to the Emperor. Who do you think the Emperor will blame?" After hearing this, Lin Xuanyu also understood why Liu Yunyan insisted on smashing her door. How come she never knew that the people in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion were so stupid? Who gave him the courage to lose the Queen Mother's face?

Their conversation also allowed the onlookers to hear the whole cause and effect clearly.

"So that's how it is. Then the people in the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion really did something dishonest. They invited people here but didn't open the door for them. Isn't that mistreating them?"

"If someone does this to me, I won't just smash his door and signboard. I'll go in and beat him up."

"Why did the Duke of the Protectorate insist on having Princess Pingyang come to the palace?"

"Don't you know? The young master of the Huguo Mansion is deeply in love with Princess Pingyang. He even proposed marriage to her before. Last time, Princess Pingyang was seriously injured and unconscious. This young master actually secretly brought her to the garrison city."

"Is this true? Is this young master so bold and reckless?"

"And this young master was almost killed by those people in the garrison city..."

"Then they let the princess come to their house. Could it be that they have some bad intentions?"

"If they can do this, I think they can do anything."

"Is the princess really here on this day?" Someone obviously didn't believe it.

"The princess did stay here for a day. The carriage arrived in the morning when it was still quite cool. Moreover, the princess's guards also bought a lot of food in my shop."

"He also bought some drinks in my store."

"I went there, too."

"And I."

……

Wuqi finally understood Liu Yunyan's previous intention at this time. If she had shown up in front of those small vendors one by one, then what the Duke of Huguo's Mansion had done would have been a topic of gossip.

Liu Yunyan said calmly, "Why not go? This princess is expecting Lord Protector of the Country to come to the palace to complain to the emperor. This way, it will be good to hear what the emperor thinks about this."

"Your Highness, this matter is indeed the fault of the people in my Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. I have arranged for people to prepare a sumptuous banquet. I respectfully invite Your Highness to move into the mansion as an act of apology." They were wrong in this matter. Lin Xuanyu knew that if this farce was not ended, the reputation of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion would be trampled under the feet of the world.

Liu Yunyan had a good impression of this young lady from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and nodded, "Okay."

Things had almost come to a head. If she really brought the matter to the emperor, she might not be able to get away with it. Besides, he was her elder, so Liu Yunyan decided to quit while she was ahead and took the opportunity given by Lin Xuanyu.

"Your Highness, please," Lin Xuanyu made a gesture to invite her in.

Liu Yunyan didn't care about the constipated expression on the Duke of Protectorate's face, and walked straight into the Duke of Protectorate's mansion with Wuqi.

The farce was over here, and the imperial guards finally arrived. Seeing that nothing was wrong, they drove away the people who were watching the excitement.

Ask them why they came so late, what a joke. Looking at the situation just now, they couldn't afford to offend anyone, so they might as well wait until the matter was over before showing up.

As soon as she entered the gate of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, Liu Yunyan felt a cool air blowing towards her.

"Why is it so cold?" Liu Yunyan asked Lin Xuanyu beside her.

Lin Xuanyu looked unhappy. "Maybe the servants are carrying ice cubes. It's normal in hot weather."

Liu Yunyan's eyes drifted off into the distance, "Really?"

"Your Highness, please come this way," Lin Xuanyu led Liu Yunyan into his courtyard.

"Tell me, Miss Lin, why did you go against your grandfather's wishes and bring me into your yard?" Liu Yunyan was very curious about Lin Xuanyu's purpose in looking for her.

Lin Xuanyu asked the servants to prepare the banquet, then waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

"You are worthy of being the princess. My little tricks are not worth mentioning in front of you," Lin Xuanyu poured a glass of wine for Liu Yunyan.

Liu Yunyan thought for a moment, "Miss Lin wants to be the master of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"

Lin Xuanyu paused while pouring the wine, his eyes dark, "Princess, you should be able to see that the Duke of the State's Mansion has been going downhill over the years. My father had no ambition and only worked as an idle official. You know your brother's situation better now. The huge Duke of the State's Mansion depends on the merits of my grandfather and the support of the queen mother. But once these are lost, it will be nothing."

Liu Yunyan was silent. "I know what you mean, but you have to think clearly. Being a woman is difficult. This is a road full of thorns and bumps."

Lin Xuanyu smiled bitterly and drank the wine in his hand. "I am not afraid of hardship or difficulties. I am just afraid of..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Yunyan also understood her concerns, "Family obstruction is indeed the biggest problem. Lin Yuxuan is a waste, and your family members still care about him the most. But since you have chosen this path, you need to be ruthless."

Lin Xuanyu pondered for a moment, "I understand, from childhood to adulthood, they always see Lin Yuxuan in their eyes. No matter how hard I work or how successful I am, I am still nothing in their eyes. So what I can do is to step on all of them and let them know that women can also stand tall and proud."

Liu Yunyan's eyes flashed with admiration, "Okay, if you need anything, you can tell me. I will definitely help as long as I can."

Lin Xuanyu knelt solemnly on the ground, with an unprecedented firmness and loyalty in his voice: "Thank you, Your Highness! I will serve you wholeheartedly and to the best of my ability!"

Liu Yunyan didn't expect this woman to do this. "Ms. Lin, please get up. I hope we can become friends."

Lin Xuanyu followed Liu Yunyan closely and said, "I know what you mean, but I believe that you will eventually surpass the former Princess Yunxi."

Speaking of Yunxi, he was a legendary figure of the Tianyuan Kingdom. He was extremely intelligent and skilled in martial arts. He could single-handedly break into the enemy camp and take down the enemy's head. He also made comments in the court and traveled around the countries in his spare time. He was so romantic and unrestrained that many women flocked to him.

As the daughter of Princess Yunxi, Liu Yunyan naturally could not be a person who was content with being ordinary.

Lin Xuanyu raised his head and looked at Liu Yunyan firmly.
