"I'm too curious. Please, sit down and tell me what happened."
Lin Mengya smilingly poured a cup of tea for Qinghu, showing her white teeth.
"Little girl, why didn't you feel curious about that Furong Restaurant being mine?"
Qinghu took a sip of scented tea after having a seat, seeming in a good mood.
"The scented tea smells just the same as Flower Valley does. There is no one able to get there except you."
Shaking his head, Qinghu cracked a bitchy smile like a fox catching a chicken.
"You call me a fox every day. In my view, you are as cunning as a little fox. You're cleverer than me, I admit."
The so-called Master Du, who had been disabled, was brought under control by the servants present.
Right then, he was squatting at the hall of the first floor, and was whining.
Other guests must have been not surprised at that.
It was reasonable if you t
Qinghu didn't know whether to be angry or to smile as he forcefully patted Lin Mengya's head. "Little girl, don't talk about death so easily. If I really die, I will definitely die by your side. It'll be your choice whether to bury me or not." It sounded ferocious, but a flicker of misery flashed in his eyes. If no one was able to rid him of the poison within three years, he would live for only three years. But that was long enough. "Well, I will dig a hole and bury you in there. Wild dogs or something else will gnaw your pretty face!" Lin Mengya felt such pain that she held her head in her hands. "Such a fox, beat me so badly." "Oh, I learned by chance the identity of the little guy you picked up. Would you like to know?" Lin Zhongyu's identity? Lin Mengya had to admit that she had felt a little bit curious about it. However... She shook her he
Lin Mengya had fallen into unconsciousness for five days in a row since that day she vomited blood and fainted on the cliff. Lin Mengya had been through these five days in a daze. She could neither ingest any water nor medicine. Because she got wet in the rain and caught a cold, she started to run a temperature that night. All the people from the Liuxin Courtyard had been covered by a miserable storm. "It's been five days now and our master would not take any medicine. The physician said if her fever didn't subside, she would—" Baizhi choked back tears and once again attempted to feed the medicine to Lin Mengya. However, Lin Mengya had tightly pursed her stubborn lips, refusing to open her mouth. The brown medicine flowed down from the corner of her mouth along her fair chin. Five days and five nights had passed with Lin Mengya having not drunk or eaten anyth
"Report to me immediately if there's any change to the princess's condition." Standing by Lin Mengya's bed, Long Tianhao instructed Baiji before he left. "Yes, Your Highness." Baiji bowed respectfully. She was finally back to her poised and mature self. Long Tianhao looked deeply at the woman on the bed, and then left the room reluctantly. Although Lin Mengya's room was heavily filled with the smell of the medicine, Long Tianhao found it to be a room full of warmth and sweetness. Once outside, he realized that the sun was setting, and he was greeted with the cool evening breeze, but even the fresh breeze could not take away the anxiety in his heart. "Have you managed to find out the truth, Lin Kui?" After Ming Yue followed him back to his mansion, she was being put in a secluded courtyard. Long Tianhao was clearly aware of Concubine De's good intentions; howe
As the moon lowered itself on the other side of the mountains, it had become bright at the east of the horizon. Lin Mengya, still on the bed, had managed to take in two more doses of the medicine as well as some Ginseng soup. But a lot of the medicine and soap had also flowed onto the mattress in the process. Baishao and Baiji would change the bedsheet into dry ones every two hours. They also followed the doctor's instruction to wipe Lin Mengya's body, which had been moistened by perspiration. After much tossing and turning, all the people, except the unfeeling Snow and baby tiger, who were in a sound sleep, stayed close by Lin Mengya all night. "Mistress's fever seemed to have subsided!" Baizhi exclaimed as she touched Lin Mengya's forehead. Baiji and Baishao, who had rested their heads on the bed, perked up immediately and took turns touching Lin Mengya's forehead.
The procession of horse carriages started from the prince's mansion in the town center all the way to west of the capital city, where the Lin's old mansion was. Although Lin Muzhi was the head of the Lin Family, the Lins were a prosperous and large extended clan with many family branches. Under usual circumstances, the three elders in the family would be the ones making decisions on matters regarding the family's honor. Fortunately, Lin Muzhi was a gentle and magnanimous man and Lin Mengya's mother was a meek and virtuous lady. For this reason, the three family elders were especially caring towards Lin Mengya. Although of course, this was only true before Shangguan Qing married into the family. At this moment, the leaders of the various branches were gathered in the ancestral hall. Currently, the head seats were taken by the three aged elders of the family. On normal days,
"Mistress, are you alright?" Baizhi had wanted to hold on Lin Mengya to support her, but was being gently pushed away. Lin Mengya shook her head and straightened her back as she stood up. She did not want anyone to realize that she was weak and strengthless. After her intense negotiation with the elders, Lin Mengya felt her legs were almost going to give way. However, she trudged on and finally walked out of the ancestral hall. "I'm fine. Let's go pay a visit to the Yues now." Although they had settled the matter with the Lins, the real challenge had yet to come. "Don't be too hard on yourself, lass. If it's too much for you, I can bring men with me to steal Yue Ting's body, so don't push yourself too hard." Despite the boost of energy from the ginseng pill, her lips were drained of their colors by now. However, she still shook her head, turning down Qinghu's good intentio
It was already the evening of the next day, when Lin Mengya finally woke up. Everyone was eyeing her nervously, as she laid on the bed. They did not feel relieved, until she opened her eyes. "Master, you scared us to death." Baizhi was still wiping away her tears. Lin Mengya had fainted numerous times, which made Baizhi, somewhat highly strung. Looking at all of them, who were in tears, Lin Mengya struggled to crack a smile at them. "Don't worry, I will take care of myself and make a total recovery." She wanted to protect as many people as possible. "How did sister Yue Ting's funeral go?" A flicker of sadness appeared in her eyes. Apart from that, there was no other expression, at all on her face. It was if overnight, she was able to talk about Yue Ting's death, as if it was like any other commonplace topic. "Everything went accord
Baizhi, carrying a small, exquisite hamper, looked a little gloomy. Baiji and Baishao were hanging the eiderdowns used in winter, out to dry, under the eaves. "What happened to you? You didn't eat your fill this morning? I thought I saw you eating five meat buns!" Baiji smiled and pinched Baizhi's chubby face. "It's been five or six days since the last time the Prince came to see Master. I shouldn't have put in a good word for him, to master." "Hush, be quiet. Master will think more about it, if she hears you." Baishao patted Baizhi and said this in a low voice. The three of them sighed lightly and shook their heads, as they looked toward Lin Mengya's door. Everyone thought that the Prince and the Princess would be as deeply attached to each other, as before. However, since that day, the last time the Prince came to Liuxin Courtyard, had been five or six days
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
