It was a known fact that the Fifth Prince was one of the Crown Prince's people.
But he was supposed to take discreet, if not undercover action at least, if he wanted to deal with Lin Mengya. He did it publicly. The Fifth Prince really did not care about the Lin family.
"The Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince? Hem! They dare hurt my sister, then, if I don't pay them back for what they did, they would feel themselves disrespected."
Lin Nansheng was still a young man, with lesser sophistication and patience than Lin Muzhi.
In his mind, any debtors, even one in a high position, should be made to pay. He would try his best to make him feel sorry!
"The Chen family is backing him. But the Chen family is a spent bullet. Isn't he worried that they will not be able to protect him, if he carries on like this?"
Disdain flashed across Qin Mo's eyes.
The Fifth Prince was the worst, in literary talent and
Aunt Bai tried her utmost to sew those dancing dresses, and Lin Mengya liked them very much when she saw them for the first time. "Mengya, the Empress won't recognize me, will she? My maid is impersonating me, so that I can get out." Shangguan Hui grabbed her hands and looked worried. "Of course she won't. You're the lead dancer, covered with a veil from start to end. And after undergoing training for a few days, you're now much thinner than before. No one else, other than your maid, will recognize you." Lin Mengya tried to soothe her, and Shangguan Hui nodded. Lin Mengya had explained it to her patiently. Shangguan Hui acted in a low key manner, and what happened at the imperial banquet, made everyone believe that she and Lin Mengya were rivals in love. But no one knew that she was Lin Mengya's closest ally. "Alright, thank you. I'll leave first to get everything ready. Relax, it's like a rehearsal
To put it simply, this kind of medicine could meet people's demands deep inside their hearts. Of course, dirty thoughts were excluded. "Such a unique flying dance. Prince Yu, you truly invite the Goddess from Heaven for us?" Among those guests, someone made a joke. Long Tianyu politely threw an eye at him, neither nodding nor shaking his head. He had made it clear that those 10 dancers were chosen noble ladies. After the show, their status must have been improved. After all, the beautiful blessing dance made them become a symbol of luck. Those young men who were in their marriage ages would try best to marry them. "Oh? I feel less pain in my waist. How?" Similar sounds of being surprised gradually came from guests. "Right! I feel my shoulders to be less painful." Lin Mengya looked down. Not long after, she told Baishao and Baisu to wait outside the hall and s
The other relatives in the hall were rattled. It was the place to worship ancestors. It would be too late to burst into tears for them before it was burned up. Lin Mengya returned to her seat, but by accident, she caught a glimpse of her brother and Qin Mo, who just snuck back. "Could it be—" "No way!" But luckily, everyone was in chaos, even the Empress and the Crown Prince seemed as if they didn't catch the abnormal action of Lin Nansheng and Qin Mo. She was still unable to feel at ease. The noise outside died down. Beside the Zhaohe Hall was an artificial pool. The fire was strong, but was soon controlled. After a while, Long Tianyu went into the hall with his face ghastly pale. There was something in his hands. "What's the situation outside?" the Empress asked. She knew clearly the importance of Zhaohe Hall to the royal family of Dajin. So she sounded a little anxious.
A warm arm hugged Lin Mengya at the moment. She turned back only to see Long Tianyu look at her worriedly. "Are you alright? Did Her Highness go hard with you?" asked Long Tianyu, and there was a deep concern in his voice. The words comforted Lin Mengya's heart that was cold a moment ago. She knew she had nothing to fear since whatever happened, this man would be on her side. He would protect her even if the heaven should fall. Shaking her head, she gave him a comforting smile. "Don't worry. Her Highness just gave me a pair of bracelets, and that's all. It was an eventful day, and with so many relatives present, she couldn't do anything to me," said she. Long Tianyu took a long glance at Lin Mengya. However strong she might appear, he was still afraid that she would be caught at a disadvantage when facing a crafty woman like the empress. He suddenly started to worry that Lin Mengya would suffer even
Tears fell down the faces of the five silent girls. Lin Mengya held her brother tightly. She could feel anger burning inside his tense body. His hands, that had slashed countless enemies, clenched. The crackling sounds of bones told his resentment. His handsome face turned grave, and his eyes glared fiercely. "Puff!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained Lin Mengya's dress with the color of dark flowers. "No, no! Hold on, brother. Don't scare me! I kept the secret from you because I fear you would hurt yourself. Sister Yue Ting is gone, but she always cared about you the most." Lin Mengya had never been as panic as this moment. She never knew until the moment that his brother, a carefree man, would love Yue Ting so deeply. The mouthful of blood proved his affection. "Yue Ting's memorial tablet should be placed in our ancestral hall. She will be my only wife of a l
Lin Mengya stood up immediately. Goodness, how did the two get into a fight? "Go quickly to take a look at what is happening. Why did Elder Brother and the Prince start fighting? Long Tianyu, my brother had sustained an injury on his body! I'll not let you off if you dare hurt him!" Lin Mengya's shouts, which went up to the second floor, shook Long Tianyu, and he immediately let go of his grip on Lin Nansheng. "Pant... pant... You are so submissive! You've let go of me when my little sister asked you to!" At this moment, Lin Nansheng was sitting on the floor and panting heavily as he spoke. After all the intense wrestling, the Qi inside Lin Nansheng, which was dashing all over the place, was gradually settling down. "I... just didn't want her illness to get worse," said Long Tianyu absent-mindedly. He had even slightly surprised himself this time. He had let go of his grip the moment Li
"Father, Elder Brother had done all those things because of me. Therefore, please do not blame him." Even since they were young, Lin Nansheng had time and again sustained injuries in the course of protecting Lin Mengya. Even this time, he had risked his life fighting for her justice. Lin Mengya was aware that Lin Muzhi might have tried to shield her brother, but it did not mean that he would not punish Lin Nansheng. "Ya'er, I know you've come to plead for mercy for your elder brother. However, did it ever cross your mind that what your brother did could've ruined our entire family? It doesn't matter if I die, but what about all the members of the household from young to old? Do they have to lose their lives over this impulsive action?" At their father's words, Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng hung their heads. As Lin Muzhi gazed at the pair of outstanding children of his, he sighed and blurted out, "The fact that the Fifth Prince attempted to ass
Lin Mengya shook her head upon hearing her father's self-mockery. She valued this chance of catching a glimpse at the love story between her father and her mother, especially that it was rare for her father, a reserved man, to be so affectionate like at the moment. "No, in fact, both brother and I are eager for knowing the stories between you and mother." When Mrs. Lin passed away, Lin Nansheng was just a small child. Thus, he knew nothing better of their mother than Lin Mengya. "Glad to hear that, girl. Well, these are actually old stories. Back when I brought you to the capital, your mother started to treat patients in the city to kill time, and got known as a highly-skilled physician by everyone. They even admired her 'Jade-faced Physician'. Thanks to the magic elixir your mother took during her pregnancy, your brother was born with a solid martial foundation. Even your grandpa was surprised by your brother's strong physique when he was b
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
