The Seventh Princess didn't laugh. It wasn't that she didn't want to hurt Ye Lanyu; normally, she would have laughed even harder than others. But at this moment, she couldn't laugh because she was also affected by this incident.
Ye Lanyu was referring to both of them, so when Ye Lang said they were barbaric and unreasonable, he was also referring to her...
"..." Ye Lanyu's face turned a little red. She wanted to strangle Ye Lang for embarrassing her again!
"Ahem, Cousin Zhiqing, please continue with your story and ignore those two siblings!" The Seventh Princess spoke up, temporarily calming the situation.
"Here's what happened..." Ye Zhiqin began to briefly recount the events, starting with why she had returned here.
"..." When Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess heard the reason, they looked at each other in confusion, because they knew that they also had some responsibility for this matter. After seeing Ye Lang, they forgot about the others and forgot to send someone to inform them.
So, while Ye Zhiqin continued her story, they sent someone to inform the strongman team leader so that they could continue without worry. They also informed him of Ye Lang's presence, since Ye Lang was one of the team members.
Ye Zhiqin continued, "At that time, I definitely couldn't handle the Duke and his men by myself, so I wanted to alert the people inside, so I used my Twin Flame Slash to break down the roof of the gate..."
"The Knights of Light arrived, and because they saw that I had damaged the roof, they mistook me for someone who was causing trouble, while I misunderstood and thought they had captured you..."
"And so, we..."
"Poor gate, it's been destroyed twice today. Luckily, this time, my signboard is alright..." Ye Lang mourned for the gate, while also feeling fortunate about something he was unaware of for the time being.
"You mean the signboard of the Muddleheaded Hall? I think..." Ye Zhiqin said weakly after hearing Ye Lang's words, but she hesitated and didn't finish her sentence.
"Young Master, your signboard is here..." Just then, a guard happened to pass by, and he was about to take the smashed signboard to the kitchen to use as firewood.
Ye Lang glanced at the signboard divided into four sections and then said, "This must be for this afternoon!"
"No, the afternoon's batch was burned; this is the evening's!" the guard shook his head and replied.
"Damn it!! Who the hell is this bastard? What did I ever do to deserve this? Why are they tearing down one after another? Fine, I'll make one myself tonight!!" Ye Lang started cursing and made up his mind to make one himself.
"..." Ye Zhiqin silent.
"Bang!!" Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess simultaneously smacked Ye Lang. Of course, they weren't standing up for Ye Zhiqin, but because...
Why did you hit me?
"Who did you just call a bastard?" Ye Lanyu questioned.
"Those who said I ruined my reputation, ah..." Ye Lang was hit again.
"So what if I smashed your signboard? How dare you insult me?!" Ye Lanyu glared at Ye Lang.
"But I didn't curse you. I cursed you for the evening, not the afternoon," Ye Lang said innocently.
"..." At this moment, Ye Zhiqin felt even more innocent. If she had known this would happen, she would have just told Ye Lang that she was the one who smashed the signboard!
Ye Lanyu pinched Ye Lang's face and said, "When you said 'again,' weren't you implying that the afternoon's was the same?"
"Did I just say 'again'?" Ye Lang said blankly. "Then I must have said something wrong. It's all that bastard's fault last night..."
"Thirteen..." Ye Zhiqin couldn't hold back anymore.
Ye Lang turned around, looked at Ye Zhiqin, and asked, "What is it?"
"The one who ruined your reputation is me..." Ye Zhiqin said.
"... I didn't say anything. Go to sleep!" Ye Lang said, then disappeared.
"..."
That's really straightforward...
"Little brother, you haven't finished your story yet, don't go to sleep..." Ye Lanyu chased after him, wanting to continue the conversation.
"No, I'm going to sleep. I have to see a doctor tomorrow!" Ye Lang's voice reached everyone's ears.
"Just for a little while..."
"No, I'm tired!" This wasn't an excuse for Ye Lang; he was genuinely exhausted. Seeing so many patients and using so many medical procedures every day was incredibly physically draining.
Besides, this isn't an occasional occurrence for him. He's been working at this high intensity every day for the past few months, so he needs to rest properly.
"Alright then..." Ye Lanyu. How could she bear to let Ye Lang get tired? Ye Lang was her most precious younger brother, and she would never let him suffer even the slightest hardship.
In the days that followed, she, the Seventh Princess, and Zhen Xiaoyan all felt a pang of heartache, not wanting Ye Lang to continue living like this, but knowing it was wrong.
When they first met again, they couldn't tell that Ye Lang's job was outrageous. But after a few days, they saw the problem and, in order to lighten Ye Lang's burden, they also joined the work at the Muddleheaded Hall.
Although Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess were not skilled in alchemy, they were quite good at management, managing everything in the Muddleheaded Hall in an orderly manner.
Ye Lang's assessment of this was that they would definitely become the kind of wives who were good at managing a household, and their husbands would have a very easy and happy life...
Therefore, Ye Lang felt even more strongly that marrying the Seventh Princess would be a very good decision!
However, when he says he's getting married, he means getting a wife, not someone he loves. He just wants a wife who can do her job well, and he doesn't seem to have considered anything else.
The same question existed in his previous life: he just wanted to marry a wife he could support and who would spend his whole life with him!
As for feelings, those can be cultivated slowly. Besides, the feelings between husband and wife are generally not maintained by romantic love, but more importantly by familial affection!
It seems that the Seventh Princess fits all the criteria. Rather than marrying someone else you have no feelings for, it's better to marry her!
On the other hand, while Ye Lanyu and the other woman were busy with these matters, Zhen Xiaoyan was different. She could directly help Ye Lang. Although Zhen Xiaoyan was not familiar with medical skills, she understood alchemy and was capable of making Alchemy Array and potions.
Furthermore, Ye Lang could also teach Zhen Xiaoyan some medical skills so that Zhen Xiaoyan could help with nursing. Although she couldn't become a doctor like Alvin, she was absolutely qualified to be a nurse.
But all of this happened a few days later. While Ye Lang was going to sleep, a small incident occurred. For Ye Lang, it was indeed a small matter, but for Ye Lanyu and the other two girls, it was a big matter that they had to figure out!
