Lin Zhongyu never had imagined that the Lin family was not as traditional as he expected. It was easier to be adopted than he imagined.
Being taken as an adopted son was easy, but as for the naturalization, a series of procedures had to be done back at their hometown. Luckily, all the officers there, had a good relationship with the Lin family.
That would make it easier. Lin Mengya could finally feel at ease. Her happiness over-flowed as she stayed with the three men.
Actually, the Lin family was far from being the quiet one that she knew.
But Lin Muzhi and Lin Nansheng kept quiet about it, as if both had come to an agreement. She knew that her father and her brother were trying to make her feel at ease.
As a member of the Lin family, however, how could she ever get away from those things?
"Come on, take a taste. It was your favorite when you were a child. You lost your mother very early and did not
Just as she was about to rip the letter into pieces, it was abruptly snatched from her hand. "I have to thank you, because if it had not been for you, how would I ever find this letter? The Lins provided for you over the years, and you have indeed been true and loyal to the family." As Lin Mengya's voice rang out, the face of the wet nurse fell. She struggled to retrieve the letter from Lin Mengya's hand, but was pinned down by Lin Zhongyu and Lin Muzhu. Lin Mengya opened the letter and went through its contents, and realized that it was full of outrageous accusations against her father and her. There was no mention about all the despicable things that she and Lin Mengwu had done, in the letter. "Men, seize her and detain her, so she will not be able to leave the house." Lin Muzhi took the letter from his sister's hand, fuming with rage. "What a case of thief crying thief! I never imagined Shangguan
Seeing the faint smile on Lin Mengya's delicate face, Long Tianyu swallowed the idea which he wanted to say. "Was his princess wife going to give him a surprise?" "So isn't it just a program that you have to conduct? Oh yes, there's something else I want to discuss with you, Your Highness." She was wearing a sweet smile and her eyes were beaming with such brilliance that it made Long Tianyu's heart quiver. He wondered what this lass was up to once again. What antics would she be pulling on some unlucky person? Subconsciously, a relaxed smile broke out on Long Tianyu's face. Even he was not aware of the loving tenderness in his own expression. "What is it about?" It seemed that he had not turned down any of Lin Mengya's requests lately. While her thoughts and ideas were like fireworks that were hard to grasp, no one was able to see through her intentions, until the moment it burned brightly.
"As a subordinate, I feel that it must be because of what's happening in the household. It is after all not easy for the princess to manage all the matter in the mansion." Long Tianyu usually did not get involved in the matters in the mansion, but Steward Deng knew that there were just too many things to handle in the huge prince's mansion, given that more people had been added to it recently. However, the princess had been extremely organized in handling the matters, so much so, Steward Deng, who was the head steward, was relieved of many miscellaneous matters. "The princess is indeed very capable." Long Tianyu looked down and smiled slightly as he jotted down his comments on the documents with his brush pen. For some unknown reasons, the sound of her laughter created an inexpressible sensation in his heart. "Your Highness, indeed it is about the time of your age to continue the family line by conceiving an heir.
In accordance with the customs, all members of the royal family were required to circumvent the city once before entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple. This signified that they would go through thick and thin with all the people. During this time, the ministers and court officials trailed behind them. It was not often that one would witness such a bustling atmosphere. Lin Mengya, seated on a sedan chair, had to maintain her deportment at all times wherever she was. In fact, it was rather tiring to do that. It had only been a while but Lin Mengya was already aching at her waist and back and she was also having leg cramps. She wished she could get up and stretch herself but was afraid that the people might see her doing it and that might bring shame to Long Tianyu. When they were barely half-way through the procession, she felt that her neck was almost breaking from the weight of her head.
"My greetings to the Queen and Royal Uncles." Even at this very moment, there was not a tinge of panic in Lin Mengya's eyes. No doubt she was wearing the costume in question, but that did not mean she was guilty of any sins. The senior members of the royal family initially thought that they would be greeted with a teary and weepy daughter-in-law. Little did they expect that the lady before their eyes was composed, exceptionally beautiful and elegant. She definitely did not appear to be one to break the rules purposely. "You may arise, and don't blame me. After all, the sacrificial ceremony pertains to the nation's rise and fall. Therefore, it's not something we could trifle with. The princes present are of good moral standing and reputation. They will not allow you to be wrongly accused." Lin Mengya nodded and retreated to the side as she awaited the judgment upon her. "Eunuch Huang, you were saying
Lin Mengya laughed quietly to herself. These two ought to have been bribed by the Queen. They were merely chess pieces that would be used only once. Even if they succeeded in their false accuse, they would surely be eradicated by the Queen through all kinds of reasons. Who would choose to openly carry around a sword that had been used? "However, since the person who had been wrongly accused is Princess Yu, shall we hand them over to Princess Yu to deal with them?" The Queen was indeed brilliant in that she had casually and conveniently handed the authority of punishing the sinners to Lin Mengya. To her, Lin Mengya had been wronged and it was only natural that she be the one to deal with them. In this way, the Queen would preserve her reputation as the upright and virtuous one. On the other hand, she would also shake off the suspicion on her. Killing two birds with one stone was so her style. Unfortun
The Heaven-worshipping ceremony was under way. This time, those princes were headed by the Crown Prince. As a princess, Lin Mengya did not have to do anything, except mingle with the relatives of the royal family, and watch the princes go through the prayer rituals for Dajin. In the hall, five adult princes standing in a row, in accordance to their status, were completing the Heaven-worshipping ceremony. Lin Mengya's eyes unconsciously followed Long Tianyu's movements. Totally different from the extravagantly-dressed Crown Prince, Long Tianyu wore a black suit embroidered with a pattern that had a green dragon with four claws. He was standing straight, in the light. Every one of his moves looked like that of a typical prince, with a natural nobility. He was praying for Dajin, in all sincerity, as well as showing his respect for his ancestors. By comparison, Long Tianyu's actions seemed
"Ahem? How did it turn into a herbaceous peony? It was clearly a peony before!" Baizhi shouted out in surprise. Baisu and Baishao were alerted at once, and turned to look at that dress. "Right, it is a herbaceous peony now." But they had seen it before. It was a peony! "I will leave the explanations to your sister, Baiji. Without her, I would have been in big trouble today." Then, the three maids surrounded Baiji, pleading with her to explain. They were lovely but stubborn. Baiji had to give in and explained, with a flushed face. "It's not a big deal. I should thank Master for her appreciation." Baizhi immediately grabbed her arms and shook it, as she asked. "My dear sister, tell us. What's going on?" It was truly a peony, but it looked very much like a herbaceous peony. The only difference between the two was the edge of their petals. Aunt Bai
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
