Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment and chose not to tear the belt open.
The villa was hard to access for other people, but Lin Mengya insisted on opening it in the silent midnight just in case. She wanted to know what was inside the belt.
Lin Mengya was picking up her mother's legacy with Baizhi. She decided to take all these things away with her.
The bugs and ants here would destroy them sooner or later, so it was better for them to be collected by Lin Mengya. She could take a look at these things whenever she missed her mother.
It was getting dark outside. Someone stopped at the door with a lantern in her hand.
"Time for lunch, my lady!"
A familiar voice made Baizhi bounce up from the ground immediately. She smiled and went to open the door joyfully.
"Ms. Tian! It's you! I thought you were back in the countryside with your son. I missed you so much!"
A humble woman stood
Baizhi found that something was odd with Ms. Tian because she was most familiar with this woman. The woman had been driven out of this place half a year ago. Why did she suddenly show up? Lin Mengya never believed that there would be so many coincidences in this world. It had been proved before that those coincidences were all set-ups. One thing Lin Mengya was sure of was that Ms. Tian would never try to set her up. She could have made lots of requests just now. They had been like mother and daughter for many years. The connection was complicated. "But why did she do that? I don't think she was setting you up, but I wonder why would she show up at this peculiar time." Baizhi was so confused. Lin Mengya was almost as overwhelmed as she was. She knew that someone was behind this. Only Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu would play these little tricks. "
If she just took the medicine yesterday, she would definitely shed blood today. But why did Lin Mengwu smell no blood at all? Lin Mengya was wondering if the medicine wasn't prepared for Lin Mengwu or Shangguan Qing. "My lady? Steward Deng's back with our prince's words for you." Baizhi looked concerned. She tried to pull Lin Mengya's arms. Baizhi found that Lin Mengya's mind was always wandering since she was back in the mansion. And her face grew grimmer. "Let go and have a look." Lin Mengya didn't look well. She used to be a confident person, and she believed that she could see through those who tried to plot against her. However, this time when she was back in Marquis Zhennan's Mansion, she felt quite uneasy. It seemed that everything was getting further and further from her guess. She hadn't made a single mistake so far, but why was everyth
The narrow and dim room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. Something must have been burnt here, and something smelt rotten. Back in the old days in the mansion, Ms. Tian was known to be a clean and tidy woman. Now she ended up in such a place because of her connection with Lin Mengya and her brother. Lin Mengya had made up her mind that she would take Ms. Tian away with her, at any cost. "I want nothing but for you and your brother to be well. I'm too old to ask for much. The mansion is not a place for us to talk. I'm glad you've been cured, but I'm also worried about the hardships you'll have to suffer in the future." Ms. Tian kept wiping away her tears. She had been living a very hard life with her son, after her husband passed away. They would have died, if not for the help of Lin Mengya's mother. She was so glad to see that Lin Mengya had grown healthier and more beautif
As soon as Baizhi threw out the coal, those intruders started swearing and screaming. Their curses echoed round the whole room. There were six intruders, four of whom had been knocked out from the onslaught of the boiling jar and the burning coal. The rest of them were hesitant about going inside, for fear of anything else blowing off their heads. Lin Mengwu felt it a pity that there were still two people standing outside. The room was too small for her to carry on her plan. Otherwise, none of those people would have the chance to escape. "I don't care who you are. Just get out of here right now." In the small messy room, Lin Mengya stared at the men rolling on the floor. Her tone was decisive, without a single trace of panic in it. The ones who had avoided her attacks were immediately scared. "You bastard! How dare you throw that coal on me! Let's get her!"
Apparently, the man could not believe that the woman standing in front of him, with the messy hair and clothes, was Princess Yu, who was well-known in the Capital City. Fortunately, the experienced Steward Deng took out the token from Prince Yu's Mansion. The problem was then solved. However, the leader still did not accord them the proper respect. "Even if you are Princess Yu, you should be with your husband and your family at home. I don't think they would approve of you getting involved in affairs with some hooligans. You should behave yourself and act like a real princess." The man was actually lecturing Lin Mengya. Lin Mengya felt angry, but found it funny at the same time. The man was a warrior, but he spoke like a scholar. "I forgot to ask. Who are you?" Lin Mengya was trying to be patient, while the man was quite disdainful of her. Lin Mengya was curious about his attitude, because they had n
"My respects to you, General Lin. I'm the Deputy Commander of the royal guards. Ye Shuanghe." Ye Shuanghe had no idea that Lin Nansheng was back. He was supposed to be at one of the border, which was a thousand miles away from the capital city. Ye Shuanghe looked grim. The young master of the Lin family was known to be very fond of his sister. Lin Nansheng was not like those good-looking, but useless, royal heirs. He was among the most distinguished league in Dajin. And he was different from Lin Mengya who had to rely on her background. He had true power. If Ye Shuanghe irritated him, it would be hard for him to accomplish his mission today. Ye Shuanghe did not want to give in. His superior had made it clear to him that he should at least bring back Ms. Tian and her son, even if he failed to find any other evidence against Lin Mengya. He gritted his teeth and saluted, but he was not goi
Lin Mengya knew Baili Wuchen better than anyone else. Their resentment towards each other would never end, unless one of them died. Lin Mengya understood that clearly. She just did not want Ms. Tian and her son to be involved in this. Lin Mengya's clenched fists were clammy. She would do whatever it took to stop Baili Wuchen from taking away Ms. Tian and her son. "Rebellion?" Lin Nansheng's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He sneered. "My family has been serving this state in the frontier for more than ten years. We've shed blood for the land. Now you're accusing me of rebellion? You'll pay for your words!" Suddenly, there was a flash of white light. Lin Mengya held her breath. In a flash, the tip of her brother's sword was inches away from Baili Wuchen's neck. "Hold on!" To everyone's surprise, Lin Mengya was the one who
"Became mentally disabled due to being frightened?" Lin Mengya found that highly suspicious. Kids were often mentally weak, and they might have some adverse reaction to intense stimuli. It was possible that might be the cause of becoming mentally unstable. She wondered what it was that had scared a little girl that badly. "Ms. Tian, do you know what actually happened?" Lin Mengya whispered her question. Ms. Tian looked at her and opened her mouth, but soon she closed it. Apparently, she had some concerns. "It's okay if you don't know about it." Lin Mengya did not want to put Ms. Tian in a difficult position, because she had already gotten the poor old woman involved in trouble. Therefore, she stopped asking when she found that Ms. Tian did not want to tell her. "I'm too old to be afraid of anything. I was told by the other servants that you were scared by the ghost of Mrs.
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
