Long Tianyu had thought that Lin Mengya found it hard to talk about it because of the incompatible relationship between the Lin family and the Jin family. He volunteered to do so, but it made the smile on Lin Mengya's face even more hesitant and weird.
"Actually... actually... General Jin is not so stubborn. It's just a matter of laughing and making up between my father and him. Actually, it's just that the eldest lady of the Jin family and I have some old grudges..." Lin Mengya smiled awkwardly. She had almost forgotten all about it.
Maybe it was karma.
She had thought that she and the lady of the Jin family would not be in contact with each other anymore. Unexpectedly, now the lady of the Jin family had become the first choice for her brother's future wife. Was this retribution? Or was it fate?
Anyway, Lin Mengya was thinking angrily, if Miss Jin saw her, would she stab her with a knife?
"What's wrong with you again?
The servant of the Jin family led the way, and the three followed.Lin Mengya took a careful look along the way. The decoration style of the Jin Mansion was different from that of the Lin Mansion. Although the decoration was noble and elegant instead of vulgar or extravagant, it revealed a rough heroic spirit.This accorded with the personality of the Jin family. Unlike the Lin family, the Jin family had a lot of family members. Mere Jin Jue himself had three sons.It was said that Jin Jue's new concubine had given birth to a son for him a few years ago. Moreover, the Jin family was a rare big family which was of one mind.In the past few years, the old general Jin Jue's brothers had always followed his leadership. A family like this was bound to thrive.So, if the Lin family and the Jin family were united by marriage, there would be no harm except that the Emperor might get a little ambivalent.After all,
Long Tianyu was behind her, so Lin Mengya knew that no one dared to harm her now. Under the gazes of everyone, she followed Jin Jue to the wing room that was temporarily served as the mourning hall.At this moment, there were depressed crying all around the room. Jin Wu and his brothers were still in the hall with tearful eyes.But no one rushed to Lin Mengya or shouted "life for life" again."Darling, this is Her Highness Princess Yu."Jin Jue quietly pushed away the hands that others reached to support him, walked to the front of the coffins, and led a woman in a white dress over. According to the rules of Jin State, because Miss Jin was unmarried and her brother was under ten years old, their parents and relatives could not wear mourning clothes or hold a grand funeral for them.Only some loyal servants were wearing mourning clothes. Lin Mengya thought maybe the two coffins would be carried out and buried tonight.
Finally, after Miss Jin spat out the last mouthful of water, Lin Mengya personally confirmed that she had been successfully rescued.Suddenly, the Jin family erupted in jubilation.Madam Jin cried with joy. Under such circumstances, she didn't know what to do.But now, she was grateful to Lin Mengya. When she looked at Lin Mengya, her face showed complicated emotions."Madam, don't think too much. Since the misunderstandings between us have been cleared up and your daughter and son are awake, let's wiped out the past."Lin Mengya was not intending to take advantage of the Jin family. But if Long Tianyu got to know that they had wanted to harm her, then the Jin family might suffer a lot.Lin Mengya felt it was better to make friends than enemies. Many misunderstandings could be removed if the two parties could talk frankly."Your Highness, thank you for your magnanimity. Maids! Come here and he
"Aren't you afraid if you push her too hard, she will become a retainer of the Empress?"Long Tianyu certainly knew that Lin Mengya would never forgive people who acted arbitrarily.However, he was worried that Shangguan Hui would become a tool of the Empress like Shangguan Qing."She? Impossible. Although Shangguan Hui is from the Shangguan family, she is much smarter. What's the use of forcing my brother to marry her if he dislikes her? Besides, with my help, her chances of success will be greater. If she loses my support, she will never win my brother's heart in her life."Shangguan Hui was a smart woman. Even if she had done something silly, she would correct it soon.Lin Mengya chose Shangguan Hui because she was not as paranoid as the other members of the Shangguan family.The people who could think sensibly would know how to get the most benefits. Lin Mengya was such a person, and so was Shangguan H
"I've entered the palace once to pay my respect to the Empress with my father. Oh, yes, she rewarded me with a lot of things. After we came back, my father always reminds me to appreciate the Empress's grace, and he asked me to wear them at regular times. Why? What's wrong?"Shangguan Hui carefully looked at her clothes and jewelry. She had carefully checked these things before, and there were no problems at all. But the way Lin Mengya looked at her made her feel that something was wrong."You're talented. As I expected, the Empress would try to drag you over to her side. It seems that you have been targeted by her. Recently, have people often mentioned political affairs in front of you?"Shangguan Hui was so talented and scheming. How could the Empress let her do whatever she wanted without interfering?All the previous indulgences were just for training her into the best pawn. Shangguan Hui thought for a while, and suddenly, her
"Hey, long time no see. I can't believe you still despise women. How is it? My two pets have been giving you a lot of bother, haven't they?"Every time they met, there was animosity between the two.Lin Mengya did not know if it was because she would be unconsciously childish every time she met Zhu Yan, or because she just thought Zhu Yan looked so cute when he was embarrassed....Of course, the person who felt hurt would definitely be Zhu Yan.However, neither Lin Mengya nor Zhu Yan was bored with it. The two continued to banter with each other, and there was always the roar teemed with the partiality from the two beasts.Zhu Yan looked at Lin Mengya in front of him, appearing sulky, and the ferocity of a wild animal gradually came into his eyes.However, it only lasted for a brief moment.For even the fiercest beasts knew the difference between their enemies and their ow
"Don't be so nervous. Everything is still under control. Don't mention it to anyone. I don't want them to worry about me."All of a sudden, Qinghu fell silent. He had always felt it was good to have him by Lin Mengya's side, even if only for three years.Unexpectedly, what satisfied him might be even crueler to her than putting her to death by dismembering her body.Now, he finally knew the pain in it."Okay, got it."This was a secret between the two of them, and only they could support each other to go on.Lin Mengya asked Qinghu to go out and hided the small pill given by her teacher personally.She patted her little face, pretending nothing had happened."Master, it's time to have dinner."Baizhi came in with a smile and asked Lin Mengya to go out for dinner. Looking at the carefree smile on the maid's face, Lin Mengya could only try her best to hide everyt
"Yeah, you're right. But I always feel less secure here than in our yard."Hongyu had a keen sense, and perhaps no one could surpass her in terms of getting along with others."Yes, be careful these days. Hongyu, please take care of Yinghua."The Empress would never have asked her to bring Yinghua here for no reason.Moreover, it was said that in the first three days in the Huguo Temple, the royal ladies led by the Empress would bathe and fast in their own meditation rooms before they would pray for the country with the noble madams and young ladies.Perhaps Yinghua would be taken away then.Only Hongyu could adapt to the situation here, so Lin Mengya planned to ask her not to leave Yinghua by a foot for the next few days."Don't worry, Master. I understand."Hongyu was clear that it was an important task, so she solemnly agreed to Lin Mengya's request."With y
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
