"Oh? How then do you think Qin'er can win Yu'er's heart?"
With raised eyebrows, Concubine De turned around and directed the question at the young maidservant who entered the main room.
"What Miss Jiang wishes to achieve is for Prince Yu to bed her. After that, Your Highness will come in and preside over justice. By then, Miss Jiang will definitely be made Prince Yu's vice Princess."
The young maidservant was a little younger than Jiang Ruqin. She had a chubby little face, but her features were not at all remarkable.
However, it was clear from her eyes that she was very clever.
"Go on."
Concubine De cast an approving look at the young maidservant and nodded as an indication for her to continue.
The maidservant handed Jiang Ruqin a cup of tea in an unhurried manner.
"The incident Miss Jiang brought Prince Yu's clothes to him had now been spread all over the mansion. Miss Jia
The moment they stepped out of the Art Courtyard, Baizhi beat her chest, pouted her lips and said, "What's awry? How come I didn't feel anything was amiss?" Lately, Lin Mengya had been busy over lots of things everyday, but she did sense that the strangest person in the Art Courtyard was none other than Concubine De. "Master, you're busy day in and day out, so you don't sense anything amiss. However, I heard that ever since Concubine De came back from the palace that day, Jing Yue was no longer her favorite, but that new maid named Yun Ruo!" Baizhi was like the little paparazzi who somehow had an idea of everything that happened in the prince's mansion. At this moment, she was wearing a professional paparazzi look as she reported her findings to Lin Mengya. Shaking her head, Lin Mengya smiled. There must be something outstanding about Yun Ruo, otherwise she would not be specially favored by Concubine
Lin Mengya's words tugged at Baiji's heart. After she continued weeping for a while, Baiji finally calmed down. "Don't worry, perhaps Baishao had already made plans for herself. I suppose she would explain the reason to us in the future." Lin Mengya comforted Baiji with earnest words as she caressed Baiji on her head. After Lin Mengya finally managed to comfort Baiji and sent her on her way, Lin Mengya began to look through the medicinal herbs and check if there were properly stored. "Since you came all the way here, just show yourself instead of hiding on the beams. Aren't you tired hanging there?" said Lin Mengya calmly with calm on her face. "How you've used bribery! No wonder you're fit to be the daughter of the Lins, to have employed such brilliant tactic." There was a tinge of mockery in the voice. Immediately, a figure floated down before Lin Mengya's eyes. "Unless
Yunzhu felt embarrassed and looked at the Boss squatting down and carefully cleaning the blood away. "But is your hand all right? Just now, I saw my blood on your hands as well." Lin Mengya checked her hands with interests. They were fine. "I don't know why. Maybe it's because too much medicine was mixed in with your blood. It goes against the medicine inside my body." It surprised her as well that venom had squirted out during the period of treating Yunzhu. The moment the venom splashed over those crude medicines, they became less effective. It turned out to still be overwhelming the poison in her body. "You have to take the medicine several times to completely clear out the poison. But your face... your face will be destroyed a little in the end." The poison had been in her body for many years. Lin Mengya didn't expect that her teacher's medicine would work so well.
Qinghu wiped away the blood that he had just now secretly faked. "Nearly got caught! How clever I am!" He followed Lin Mengya into the yard. The three younger maids played well with Baiji's siblings. Baiji and her mother sat off to the side and did needlework, smiling at those kids. Such a peaceful life would be admired by everyone, including Qinghu. Living as an ordinary person is truly not that bad. Lin Mengya sitting beside Aunt Bai was such a tranquil scene. "The little girl will be happy to live a quiet life like this." "Master, how are you going to deal with Baishao?" Baiji had been worried since she reported Baishao's change to Lin Mengya. She considered it to be a betrayal to her best friend. "Later on." Lin Mengya rarely gave such a vague answer, which made Baiji at a loss. While they chatted, Baiji's father,
"Actually, you and Qin'er met by destiny. When she was a child, I was accompanied by her. Because of this, she and Yu'er know each other since they were young. But now, there is a rumor that Ruqin and Yu'er have an affair. How ridiculous it is." Concubine De sounded genuinely regretful. She picked up the tea and lightly took a sip. She mentioned it publicly, so Lin Mengya had to stop her act and speak of this topic. "You're right, mother. I will manage the household with a firm hand. The rumor will be broken in time to clear Ruqin's name." The moment she uttered the last word, Jiang Ruqin burst into tears. "Aunt, I can't live at all. As a woman, a clear name is the most important thing. Now, the rumor flies around our house. How could I still live a peaceful life?" Jiang Ruqin finally played her trump card to act like she was really driven into a corner. Lin Mengya then saw the purpose of their show.
"Why did he believe me so firmly?" Lin Mengya gaped at Long Tianyu, as if she didn't believe what he had said just now. "Mother may have given it her own consideration. But now, I'm an adult. She can't make the decision for me about some things anymore." A sadness that was never exposed previously silently rose in Long Tianyu's eyes. One day seemed like a year in the palace. He and his mother, Concubine De, had supported each other in order to make today's achievements. But for no reason, his mother turned into having no sense of right or wrong. That made him feel wistful. "Your Highness, have you ever thought about why Concubine De suddenly changed her disposition?" Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, then she spoke with something profound in her words. "Perhaps... she changed because of the death of Aunt Jinyue, maybe?" There was a slight hesita
"Master, didn't you tell us that you would not get involved in the affairs of the empress unless it was necessary?" Night did not ever question any order that Long Tianyu issued. But investigating the empress mattered a lot. Once the secret of the existence of the Qing Sect was exposed too soon, it would be extremely bad for Long Tianyu. Therefore, Night had to remain cautious. "I refused to get involved because the empress still leaves me leeway no matter what she did. But now, she did plot against my mother. I'm afraid that she would remove everyone around me before I take measures." After coming to his senses, Long Tianyu felt there were more dirty tricks in this event. Since she was being kept in the Empress's Palace, the empress inevitably had something on Concubine De. Therefore, they made a deal, at the expense of Lin Mengya. Otherwise, Concubine De would not keep p
"Don't be afraid. This is a honey pastry, would you like to taste it?" Lin Mengya spoke tenderly and then handed the honey dessert that Baizhi had left in the carriage to the little kid. Maybe it was the warmth in the carriage or Lin Mengya's gentle voice that attracted the little kid to reach out his chubby hands and take the honey pastry from Lin Mengya's hands. "Come on. Come here. Don't worry. We've driven away those bad guys." The little child raised his head, whose appearance surprised Lin Mengya slightly. He had a pair of beautiful, energetic, big eyes and a fair face. Although he seemed timid, he was fair-skinned and lovely. "Sister..." The honey pastry worked. The little boy looked at Lin Mengya with his spirited, big eyes. Although his face was still dirty, his childish, soft call passed through into Lin Mengya's heart. "Come here. Give me a hug."
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
