On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Perform Well

"I have long wanted to meet this Leng Yu Yan, but had no opportunity.

Today, after she left Prince Xian Mansion, she deliberately detoured to Prince Zhenbei Mansion and saw Yu Haoqiong’s carriage. She took the chance to enter the Prince Mansion.

Sure enough, she met Leng Yu Yan.

But this first sight made Yu Yinglei feel utterly ashamed.

Back in Beiliang, she prided herself on being the foremost beauty of the region. After attracting a throng of sycophants, she even deemed herself the most beautiful woman in the world.

Today, having seen Leng Yu Yan with her own eyes, Yu Yinglei’s emotions were incredibly complex...

Jealousy and hatred surged inside her simultaneously!

Had it not been for Leng Yu Yan, Ye Yiheng would have been hers!

All of a sudden, Yu Yinglei felt relieved that Ye Yiheng was now blind; if he knew of Leng Yu Yan’s beauty, she feared she’d have no chance to compete with her for his attention.

Seeing Yu Yinglei staring blankly at Leng Yu Yan, Ye Jiu chuckled with a smile, then shook her head, taking Leng Yu Yan’s arm and walking away.

Leaving the siblings from the Yu Family rooted to the spot in shock.

The butler snickered internally, thinking these Prince and Princess from Beiliang must have never seen true beauty before. Seeing his own Commandery Princess and the Ninth Princess, who was very keen on the Princely Heir, did the siblings’ eyes nearly pop out, wishing they could stick them onto the Commandery Princess and the Ninth Princess?

Though he sneered inside, his face betrayed nothing.

"Seventh Prince of Beiliang, Princess, please follow me!" The butler gestured with an inviting hand.

Only then did the Yu siblings retract their gazes and follow the butler’s lead toward the front yard.

Back in her room, Leng Yu Yan leisurely flipped through storybooks.

Ye Jiu anxiously said, "I am unsure of Yu Haoqiong’s reasons for coming, but I know Yu Yinglei is here to see what you look like."

"Well, she has seen now," Leng Yu Yan turned another page.

Ye Jiu, now even more anxious, said, "She has realized you’re more beautiful than she is, and who knows what methods she might resort to against you."

"Ah Ju, please sit down," Leng Yu Yan looked up, "Your pacing is making me dizzy."

Ye Jiu stamped her foot, came over to Leng Yu Yan, and snatched the storybook out of her hands: "Why aren’t you worried?"

"Are you afraid she will ruin my looks?" Leng Yu Yan calmly took back the storybook.

Ye Jiu nodded vigorously, "I’ve heard that in Beiliang, if Yu Yinglei found a woman more beautiful than herself, she would devise ways to ruin the woman’s appearance."

"This is indeed intriguingly similar to Lai Manting’s methods," Leng Yu Yan laughed lightly.

"How can you still laugh at a time like this?" Ye Jiu sighed as she sat down reluctantly, shaking her head.

Leng Yu Yan suppressed her smile and said indifferently, "The spots on Lai Manting’s face were caused by me."

Hearing this, Ye Jiu was astounded.

She gaped for a long time before stuttering, "Is this, this like a tooth for a tooth?"

"When I was ten, I developed spots on my face; naturally, the person responsible should get a taste of their own medicine," Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly, "Do you think I would let Yu Yinglei off if she tries something?"

Ye Jiu grasped Leng Yu Yan’s arm, "Right, if she harbors malicious thoughts, you must not show mercy!"

"Then be patient and don’t worry, in a short while, my eldest brother should be back, and then we can go to the front yard."

"Okay!" Ye Jiu nodded, picking up another storybook to read.

At this moment, in the main hall of the front yard, Yu Haoqiong and Yu Yinglei sat upright.

The butler had ordered fine tea to be served and laid out an array of generous fruit desserts.

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour without seeing Leng Yu Yan, Yu Yinglei couldn’t help but ask, "Is this truly the way Beiliao Prince Mansion treats its guests?"

The butler responded with a smile, "Princess of Beiliang, please understand! As the Seventh Prince of Beiliang is considered an outsider to our Commandery Princess, she finds it inconvenient to meet guests at this time. After a short while, once the Princely Heir returns, our distinguished guests can speak directly to him if there is any matter."

Although it made sense, Yu Yinglei found herself unable to protest.

Unable to see Leng Yu Yan again, Yu Yinglei saw no need to stay here. She was about to shift and prepare to leave when she heard the servants of Prince Mansion reporting to the steward.

"Steward, the Princely Heir has returned, and the Crown Prince has also come."

Upon hearing "the Crown Prince," Yu Yinglei, who had already started to move her bottom off the chair, sat back down.

It wasn’t long before two tall, young men walked side by side towards the main hall.

Upon hearing the guests who had arrived at the mansion today, Li Yuyue paused in his steps.

Ye Yiheng slightly turned his head to Li Yuyue, "I’ll go see Yanyan first."

Li Yuyue furrowed his handsome eyebrows slightly, helplessly looked at Ye Yiheng’s retreating back, and then proceeded to the main hall.

Quite eagerly awaiting Ye Yiheng’s presence, Yu Yinglei didn’t expect to just catch a glimpse from afar before he disappeared, leaving her quite disappointed.

Seeing Li Yuyue approaching, Yu Haoqiong and Yu Yinglei rose from their chairs to greet each other.

Li Yuyue raised his hand to invite them to sit again, "May I know the purpose of your visit?"

Yu Haoqiong smiled, "Actually, it’s nothing important. The Prince thought that since Beiliang and Beilan City are quite close, he decided to come over to have a chat with the Princely Heir."

Hearing this, Li Yuyue knew that this Seventh Prince of Beiliang had other intentions—either concerning Yan’er or Ye Jiu.

As for Yu Yinglei, could it be that she sought the chance to see Ye Yiheng?

All in all, the sight of these siblings was exasperating.

Ye Yiheng was only halfway there when Leng Yu Yan arrived with Ye Jiu.

As the three of them met, Ye Jiu smiled knowingly, "I’ll go to the front courtyard to see the Princely Heir. Sixth Brother and Ah Yan, have a good talk."

Watching Ye Jiu head towards the front courtyard, Leng Yu Yan asked the person beside her, "Your Highness, why have you come again?"

"It’s not that I wanted to come."

"That’s quite the remark. Could it be that I invited you?"

Ye Yiheng shook his head with a smile, "No, it’s not that. Your elder brother asked me to drink with him, so I came."

"How did you come across my elder brother?" she asked further.

Ye Yiheng didn’t keep it from her, lowering his voice, "The last envoy sent to Yaoshou sent back a letter, so I went to inform your brother in the military camp, and then I came to the Prince Mansion."

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan asked with seriousness, "Did you find out who’s behind the scenes?"

Ye Yiheng shook his head.

In the front courtyard, Ye Jiu briskly walked cheerfully to Li Yuyue’s side, casually took his hand as if no one was present, "Are you hungry, Princely Heir?"

Li Yuyue didn’t resist, letting her hold his hand, his voice more tender than he realized, "After being busy in the military camp all day, I am indeed a bit hungry."

"Then I’ll order the kitchen to make some good dishes."

Ye Jiu took on the posture of the Lady of the Prince Mansion, which narrowed Yu Haoqiong’s eyes.

There was no need for the siblings to stay any longer; staying would only add to their irritation.

Consequently, Yu Haoqiong and Yu Yinglei stood up to take their leave.

After leaving the main hall, Yu Yinglei still couldn’t help glancing in the direction Ye Yiheng had gone.

From a distance, Leng Yu Yan saw Yu Yinglei looking their way.

She smiled lightly with curved lips, tiptoed, stretched her hand to hook around Ye Yiheng’s neck, and her watery red lips pressed against someone’s cheek.

Through the eye veil, Ye Yiheng clearly saw a flicker pass through her beautiful eyes, startlingly bright.

Catching a glimpse of the Yu siblings out of the corner of his eye, he instantly understood Leng Yu Yan’s motive for her action.

With that in mind, he decided to perform well...

His large hand secured the back of her head, and his sensual thin lips easily sealed her rosy lips.
