Although Long Mengru still appeared to be in a huff, she had calmed down a great deal in front of her grandfather.
Shangguan Lei glanced meaningfully at his granddaughter for a while and then looked away.
He did not know whether it was a misfortune or not. His granddaughter took after her mother in scheming more than his good-for-nothing grandson did.
If Mengru were a man, he would not have to make another plan.
"I understand what your mother meant. It was your uncle who did this in private. I've already punished him. Go back and tell your mother that she doesn't need to worry about this," Shangguan Lei said.
Although he had punished his son, it didn't sound like he was in the wrong.
On hearing his words, Long Mengru furrowed her delicate brows. Over the years, her grandfather had been away from home and left the domestic affairs to be handled by her mother.
What did he mean by saying t
However, if she wanted to go out, at least she couldn't let the spies outside find out about her purpose.Otherwise, it could give rise to other contingencies."It's going to be the annual Spring Sacrificial Rite a few days later, right?" Lin Mengya rolled her eyes, suddenly turned to look at Qinghu, and asked.Qinghu hesitated for a moment before nodding his head."How time flies. I got married after the last Spring Sacrificial Rite. Unexpectedly, it has been a year. Why don't we mobilize the members of our mansion for a lively Spring Sacrificial Rite so as to ward off ill luck?" Lin Mengya said with a smile.The Spring Sacrificial Rite was a special festival of Dajin.Generally speaking, the Spring Sacrificial Rite was held in the last month of spring when everything came back to life and people started to sow.At this time, people prayed for favorable weather and a good harvest this
However, Long Tianyu just thought about it for a moment.When he raised his head again, he had concealed all his real emotions.He casually threw the secret report on the desk, glanced at his father, and said, "It's nonsense."The Emperor's attempt to force Lin Mengya to leave Long Tianyu seemed to have estranged Long Tianyu from him.The Emperor looked up at his son.He also knew that these rumors were unconvincing.However, his increasingly strong sense of paranoia gave him an intuition that this matter might be a signal sent by someone, that intended to replace him!"Anyway, you must get to the bottom of this. Put the Shen Family's case aside for the time being and deal with this first," the Emperor said.Receiving his father's order, Long Tianyu left without hesitation.Watching his son turn to leave, the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly fel
Long Tianyu had thought about the doubtful point Lin Mengya mentioned.Moreover, he heard that the Empress's followers kept in touch with the Shangguan Family these days, and the Empress got furious in the Imperial Palace. Things might not be as simple as they seemed."Anyway, this is a good thing for us. The more they are disturbed by us, the more likely we are to find an opportunity to get rid of them!" Lin Mengya said confidently.The Shangguan Family's exterminating the Shen Family was a silly move, which failed to deter those, who were on good terms with the Lin Family. Instead, it aroused their deep hatred for the Shangguan Family.Now, coupled with the widespread rumor, the Shangguan Family was probably in a terrible fix now.Lin Mengya had to admit that such a proffered good opportunity was rare.Staring at the woman in his arms, who seemed to have everything under her control, Long Tianyu w
"Bitch! Men, come and seize her!" Shangguan Jing, who was enraged, roared like a wild beast.However, the lackeys, who were knocked down around him, didn't have the guts to step forward.Shangguan Jing gave them a cold look and spat disdainfully, thinking they were just useless trash.Shangguan Jing fixed his malicious eyes on Lin Mengya, while showing a cruel and bloodthirsty sneer and secretly gathering himself to seize her by the throat.Even in this place, he, who was from the Shangguan Family, was as fierce as a lone wolf, that seemed to be able to turn Lin Mengya into a cold corpse in an instant.Lin Mengya stared at Shangguan Jing unblinkingly. The murderous intent he exuded instantly gave her a chill, which was overwhelmed by tension and excitement in a dangerous situation.She would like to see what he would do on impulse.Her provocative gaze enraged Shangguan Jing even more.
The carriage went straight out of the city gate to an inconspicuous village on the edge of the Capital City almost without being noticed.Since Gou An visited the Lin's Mansion last time, Lin Mengya had sent him a lot of healing medicine successively through Qinghu.With the help of her, an experienced physician, as well as her abundant supply of medicine, which could compare with that of the Imperial Hospital, the heir of Commandery Prince Lian of the Nan'an State would be cured sooner or later.As she expected, last night Gou An sent someone to tell her that his Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice had come round.Lin Mengya could not wait to come here with Qinghu.Recently, everyone's attention had been attracted by the Shangguan Family, so no one would pay attention to her brother, who was detained in the prison of the government office.Therefore, this was the best time to rescue her brother.
Lin Mengya almost kept smiling all the way home from Gou An's place.Not to mention Qinghu, who stayed away from her, her tremendous affability even made the others in Marquis Zhennan's Mansion feel a chill down their spines.Seeing her in such a cheerful state of mind, all the others were stunned.She really couldn't think of a proper way to celebrate, so as soon as she returned to her room, she immediately closed the door and burst into wild laughter.Even Hongyu, who had always been steady, almost fell on hearing that. "What... what's wrong with her?" Standing in the yard, she cautiously asked Qinghu, who had nothing to say about it."Who knows? Maybe her head got squeezed in the door," Qinghu replied expressionlessly.In fact, he was also confused about what made Lin Mengya laugh so wildly.Fortunately, her crazy state didn't last long.After nightfall, Lin Mengya gradu
Not long after, the messenger rushed back.The heavy gate of the Imperial Palace was slowly opened from inside. With his eyes becoming deep, Long Tianyu flourished the whip to urge on his horse and entered the Imperial Palace on his galloping horse.As the crisp sound of hooves echoed inside the Imperial Palace, the palace gate was closed tightly again in the dark.At this moment, the Emperor was still handling government affairs in the imperial study.Obviously, Long Tianyu was very familiar with the route. At the gate of the second palace, Long Tianyu dismounted from the horse with the peace treaty in his arms.With this, their predicament would be resolved with ease.As such, even someone as steady as Long Tianyu involuntarily felt excited.However, as soon as he stepped into the scope of the imperial study, he, who had always been sensitive, became tensed in an instant.
The Empress led her attendants out of the imperial study, while Shangguan Qingyu was still unconscious.Long Tianyu knew Shangguan Qingyu would be fine, but at the sight of Shangguan Qingyu's pale face, he thought Shangguan Qingyu, as a member of the Shangguan Family, treated himself so harshly."What brought you here?" The Emperor, who had been shrewd and wise just now, asked with a rare tired look at this moment, while pinching his nose.He seemed to be as troubled as Long Tianyu."Father, I bring the peace treaty offered by the Nan'an State," Long Tianyu answered.Despite Shangguan Qingyu's accusation, the Emperor looked shocked and said, "Where is it? Present it to me quickly!"Apparently, the Emperor, who was a little anxious, didn't expect that the Nan'an State, which had engaged in a fierce fighting with Dajin at the beginning of the year, would send a peace treaty at this time.
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
