Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Sinister Crazy Critic
Ye Yiheng’s face was stern, “What does ‘I’ intend?”
If she wanted to misunderstand, let her misunderstand—it had nothing to do with him.
Song Guo was caught off guard by the question and after a long pause, finally murmured softly, “Your Highness dislocated Lady’s wrist. Today, people from Your Highness’s maternal grandparents’ home came to say that Lady’s wrist might be disabled for life.”
“She has only herself to blame!” Ye Yiheng said coldly.
Fan Minmin dared to have designs on him. The fact that he did not take her life was already a tremendous act of mercy!
If not for the sake of his maternal grandparents’ home, he would not have simply dislocated her wrist.
Song Guo immediately bowed and agreed, “Indeed, who could dare to grasp Your Highness’s hand?”
In the entire land, the only woman whose hand the Crown Prince would take the initiative to help seemed to be Miss Lai alone!
Thinking of this, Song Guo felt as if he had stumbled upon a great secret. Unconsciously, a pleased smile curled up at the corners of his mouth, his master, the Crown Prince, seemed to be gradually coming to his senses.
—
Two days passed.
Xinya Academy.
During the midday break, Xu Yaxiang went to Taoli Garden to find Cao Shu.

“Lady Cao, have the clothes for the Flower Festival arrived?”
Seeing her come in, coupled with the fact that Cao Shu had been recently getting close with the Xu Family, many teachers in the Taoli Garden whispered among themselves.
Perceiving this, Cao Shu glanced at Xu Yaxiang, “Follow me to the Dance Society.”
Xu Yaxiang raised an eyebrow with a smile.
The two walked one after the other to the Dance Society. Xu Yaxiang took out a small porcelain bottle, “Sister-in-law, my brother was mentioning you again last night. Will you come to our house tonight?”
The implication of her words couldn’t be clearer, and Cao Shu, who had always been early favored, couldn’t help but blush.
“I will.”
“That’s great to hear!” Xu Yaxiang placed the small porcelain bottle in Cao Shu’s palm, “This contains itching medicine. Once the Flower Festival clothes arrive, pour this medicine on the garments of those six, and our group will be able to replace them.”
Cao Shu looked at the small porcelain bottle in her palm, hesitating, “This…”
“Don’t worry, it’s just itching medicine. It will just make them too itchy to go on stage.” Suddenly, Xu Yaxiang leaned in close to her ear, “My brother said, Lady Cao’s figure is truly extraordinary, worthy of the Cao Family. Once the plan succeeds, my brother will definitely come to propose.”
Clenching the porcelain bottle, Cao Shu nodded.
She had heard him say this in the privacy of their bedchamber. Now, hearing it again from his sister’s mouth, it was clear she was really going to become the daughter-in-law of the Xu Family.
Elsewhere.
Leng Yu Yan was practicing dance in the Mountain Master’s study with Lai Jiajia and the others.
Once they had made some progress, Leng Yu Yan agreed to let them rest.
The young girls sat in a circle, eating snacks and chatting leisurely.
Mi Xinmei touched her increasingly smooth cheeks and then gratefully grabbed Leng Yu Yan’s hand, “Yu Yan, look at me, do the marks on my face look lighter?”
“Yes, just cover them with a little powder and they won’t be noticeable,” Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly, “But you still need to maintain your dietary habits.”
“Mm, I’ll listen to you. Lately, my brother keeps bringing you up, wanting to personally apologize and thank you.”
“I’ve been a bit busy lately, but after the Flower Festival, let’s visit your family together—thanking me can wait until then.”
Mi Xinmei nodded, “Alright, it’s settled then. Oh, by the way, someone has been coming over the past two days to propose marriage for my brother.”
Hearing this, the girls were quite surprised.
Especially Lai Jiajia, who asked with delight, “That’s great news, who is the girl from?”
Mi Xinmei lowered her voice, “She comes from a significant background—it’s the Crown Prince’s cousin.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan looked up, “It couldn’t be Fan Minmin, could it?”
All the other cousins of the Crown Prince were of decent standing, the only one with a less favorable background was Fan Minmin. If one of the Crown Prince’s cousins was truly to be promised to Mi Xinrong, it could only be Fan Minmin.
When Mi Xinmei heard the name, she exclaimed, “So it really is her!”
Luo Meng’er nodded, “That’s not bad then, the Crown Prince’s cousin certainly has some background. With Brother Mi’s mobility issues, now with this marriage…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when she was interrupted by Mi Xinmei, “No, you all have it wrong!”
Leng Jiajia frowned, “What do you mean?”
Mi Xinmei sighed, “Let’s not even start on Fan Minmin’s background. Now, her hand has been twisted and broken, rendering her disabled. This is why she’s settling for my brother, who also has a disability.”
Leng Jiajia, her mouth full, still remembered to ask, “What does Brother Mi say?”
“He looked into it and said that Fan Minmin’s hand was fine before but suddenly became disabled. There must be some hidden reason. Moreover, he has never thought about getting married in his life and has already gently refused.”
They chatted for a while longer and then continued their dance practice.
Leng Yu Yan stood to one side and pondered, just two days had passed, and Fan Minmin’s hand was ruined.
Two days ago, Fan Minmin had grabbed Ye Yiheng’s hand, thinking…
Could it be that on that day, seeing Fan Minmin run out of someone’s bedroom crying, it was partly due to embarrassment, and partly due to the pain in her wrist?
Was it Ye Yiheng who had broken Fan Minmin’s wrist?
With this question in mind, the first thing Leng Yu Yan did after being dismissed from the academy and returning to the East Palace Tingfeng Garden was to send Miao Zhu to collect information.
More than an hour later, Miao Zhu came back.
“Miss, this information was really hard to gather!”
Leng Yu Yan personally poured a cup of water and handed it to Miao Zhu, “The harder it is to gather, the more likely it is to be true.”
Miao Zhu didn’t hold back, guzzling the water down, “I really couldn’t find anything, but while lurking in the shadows, I heard a palace maid passing by, saying that the Crown Prince had twisted Fan Minmin’s hand and told her to get married quickly. That’s why she was sent out of the Eastern Palace overnight.”
Leng Yu Yan’s brow furrowed, Ye Yiheng was really a sly and cold-hearted lunatic!
However, Fan Minmin was also asking for trouble, reaping what she had sown.
But no matter how she thought about it, Leng Yu Yan always felt a chill around her neck.
One lunatic, one masochist, aren’t they a perfect match?
And she was, unfortunately, bound to the lunatic’s side…
What a headache indeed!
At that moment, Eunuch Song Guo’s voice came from outside.
“Miss, His Highness has sent me to invite you!”
Leng Yu Yan quickly collected her thoughts and stood up, “Eunuch Song Guo, does His Highness need something?”
Song Guo smiled, “His Highness sent me to invite you to dine with him this evening.”
“Alright, allow me to change my dress,” Leng Yu Yan said with a faint smile.
Mentally grumbling, the lunatic wants to have dinner with her—could it be a setup?
Song Guo nodded, “I shall wait for the Miss here.”
Leng Yu Yan nodded and, accompanied by Miao Zhu, went to the inner room.
Only a few steps away, her mind twisted and turned several times—if the lunatic were to lose his mind later and go after her life, how would she protect herself?
Reaching the inner room, she opened the bottom layer of the makeup box and took out a packet of silver needles, concealing them in her sleeve.
Feeling that wasn’t enough, her hand reached out for the various small bottles and jars.
Seeing this, Miao Zhu’s eyes narrowed, “Miss, what’s this?”
These bottles and jars at the bottom of the box contained some poisons made by the miss and some antidotes.
Leng Yu Yan tugged at the corner of her mouth, lowering her voice, “Isn’t this just in case? After all, I’ve openly tried several times to push him and Fan Minmin together. I’m afraid he’ll vent his anger on me.”
More importantly, whether in dreams or in reality, on several occasions, she had been choked by him.
What if her neck met the same fate as Fan Minmin’s wrist, a “snap—”
Broken, perhaps?
