"Lin Muzhi bows in respect to you, Prince and Princess."
He was Lin Mengya's father, but the two were silently looking at each other as Lin Mengya became the honorable Princess Yu, while Lin Muzhi obviously became subordinate to her.
"Father—you must not feel sorry, father."
Her eyes were brimming with tears and her voice was trembling.
Long Tianyu pulled up Lin Muzhi personally, showing his clear respect toward him.
"Good... good girl. You look good. I... I don't feel worried anymore."
Lin Nansheng delivered a letter to him before.
And in the letter, it said that Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were living in harmony.
It seemed that his daughter was the lucky one by having Prince Yu as her husband and the two understood each other.
Lin Muzhi lived a happy life once. Thus, he knew clearly that the caring and affection between Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu was not a s
In Shangguan Qing's eyes, Lin Mengya was clearly a devil. She believed that Lin Mengya must have been waiting to expose everything to Lin Muzhi. That was why she kept silent when she just got married. Great barkers are no biters. Shangguan Qing could feel her sharp fingernails digging into her delicate skin. "If Lin Mengya really speaks out, Wu'er has to be punished heavily!" "Yes, of course. It's impressive, isn't it?" He would never forget seeing a handful of poisoned jujubes in his bride's hands when she just got out of the bridal sedan chair, instead of blessed things. His narrow eyes turned deep and meaningful instantly. But for her alertness, Lin Mengya might have become a wisp of a soul driven to death. "Thanks for your wedding gift, Wu'er. Without it, I may have lost the chance to be close to His Highness." Lin Mengya slightly turned her glittering ey
But Shangguan Qing's facial expression worried her a lot, for no reason. "Nothing. I'll do everything, for your own good." The Lin family already became the target for all powers in the Capital City. She would protect Lin Mengwu from being encumbered by them. "Although Father and Brother don't like us, Mother, you can't do anything stupid. Once... Father finds that out, he may take our lives away!" Lin Mengwu was very familiar with her father's temper. One of his assistant generals, who made a mistake, was punished with 40 lashes on his back and driven out by her father's order, even though he followed him here and there for more than 10 years. If Shangguan Qing did something, Lin Muzhi would not spare them at all. Then— At the thought of losing her position as Miss Lin, Lin Mengwu felt her world end. "Silly, even for your sake, I won't do anything stupid. Don't worry, my sweet. But now
"I didn't! Your Highness, I really didn't do that!" It sounded like Baizhi. Lin Mengya let the four maids return ahead of her. But they just went back an hour earlier than her. Why would she hear their cries out there? Lin Mengya rushed to the Art Courtyard. Inside the main room, she found Baizhi kneeling down on the floor and crying loudly. Her fair face was already red and swollen. She looked very pathetic while she was trying hard to shake her head, and her hairpin dropped. Baiji and Baisu were stopped from getting a chance to help Baizhi. However, Baishao sat opposite them. Her facial expression was unseen with her head lowered. "You've been caught with money. What excuse do you have for your behavior? Because you followed your master from the beginning, Her Highness meant to not punish you severely. But how dare you remain impenitent. You m
Lin Mengya was snapped back into reality by the sound of her maidservants' sobbing. As Lin Mengya watched her three maidservants drowned in tears, there was, however, not a hint of fear in her eyes as she furrowed her brows. "Master, please don't be hard on yourself because of me given things had come to this. It's my sad fate that I could no longer stay by your side to serve you, Master. I will prove my innocence with my life. Please do not implicate my young mistress." Baizhi had broken down in tears. After all, who would not be fearful of death? However, in order not to implicate her own mistress, she was willing to exchange her mistress' innocence with her death. "Silly girl, death is like putting out the burning lamp. What is the use of proving my innocence with your death? Mother, this matter came about all because of the 50 taels of silver. Baizhi may be a maid, but she is also a life. I implore you to cons
Lin Mengya prided herself for her kind treatment towards her servants in the courtyard, but little did she expect that there would still be a spy and traitor among them. Nevertheless, she had to continue with her act. She would come back to settle debts in future. The commotion in the house eventually died down. The onlookers outside the house dispersed. In a while, a small head popped out of the door of the main hall. Baiji scanned the surrounding for a moment and went back into the main hall. "Master, there's no one left outside the house. What's the next step?" As they circumvented the broken pieces of ceramic the mirror, they found it quite a distressing sight although Lin Mengya had kept the more valuable items beforehand. Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea and said, "For our next step, we shall wait for them to come to us. Why do you think I made suc
The maid, shaking, glanced at Lin Mengya, clenched her teeth and opened her mouth to speak. "Miss Baishao was the one who incited me to do this. She claimed that her plan was upset because Baizhi was dishonest. She wanted to teach Baizhi a lesson. Please don't be angry with me. I've done this because Miss Baishao promised me a reward!" There was a commotion among the onlookers. They were surprised to learn that Baishao was such a ruthless person. "Are you speaking the truth?" Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows in disbelief. However, the maid continued nodding vigorously. She even took out a white jade bangle from her sleeve and presented it to Lin Mengya, saying, "This bangle was given to me by Baishao. Please verify it." Baishao had been seen wearing a white jade bangle on her wrist in the past. It appeared that there was no mistaking that Baishao did try to bride this maid. "I don't need
Baishao burst into tears as she carried the bundle of her black hair. She scanned the surrounding with a pair of determined, teary eyes. Ever since she entered the prince's mansion, her master and three fellow maidservants were like her only kinsman. Never would she expect that she would be forced to become a tool to be used against the princess. "I, Baishao, hereby vow to remain single all my life and stay by Master's side to serve you!" All the people were not expecting this turn of events. Lin Mengya's expression turned solemn at this juncture. Baishao fell on her knees before Long Tianyu respectfully. There was not a hint of that she was trying to be funny. "Your Highness the prince, Mengya was unable to bring any glory to you since I married into the prince's mansion. On the other hand, I've also not committed any grave mistakes which warrant me being driven out. I've never imagined myself to la
"Jinsu had been poison with a rare toxin which incapacitated her ability to speak. In addition, Yun Ruo had picked the right time to act, which was when Jinsu's voice was disabled. Not to mention pleading innocence for herself, Jinsu couldn't even make a sound from her throat." These people were too bold to have employed the use of poison in Lin Mengya's presence, given that she was an expert in toxicology. "Are you not able to neutralize the poison in her? Master, as long as you are able to do that, she could tell us the truth, then..." Lin Mengya interrupted Baiji by shaking her head. "So what if we find out the truth? Don't forget that Concubine De is Prince Yu's mother. If we delve deeper, Prince Yu would be put in a very difficult position." Lin Mengya understood from earlier that Long Tianyu had done her a great favor today and rightfully, she should not continue to pursue this matter. Moreover
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
