A crystal clear voice sounded from outside.
As Lin Mengya lifted her head, she indeed saw Qinghu, who was dressed in a costume meant for a priest.
He looked very different from how he usually dressed at home. The Qinghu before her eyes had turned into a chilling, cold-blooded killer.
"Lass, your father is here to bring you home. Whoever is that beak-nosed guy, watch out how you treat my daughter. If she's hurt in any way, I, being her father, will cut you into pieces!"
Lin Mengya was not an expert in fighting, in fact, she was totally clueless about it. What she knew at the moment was that Qinghu would be fighting against two opponents.
The rest of the men in black in the courtyard seemed to have been entangled in a fight with the Qinghu's men.
She did not know any martial arts and could be easily taken as a sheild for those fighting.
Oh goodness.
Why did she not get throu
"What did you say? It's a death sentence for slandering the princess!" Jinyue's severe look gave Lin Mengwu the shudders. Shangguan Qing had been through big storms in life, not to mention a young maid. Even Concubine De's face of gloomy thunder had never evoked any fear in her. "I'm telling the truth. The people outside do not know what goes on in here, so they say that I've imprisoned Ya'er here because I'm jealous of the Duke's late wife. I am the only one who knows the truth. Why should I bear this stigma alone if not for preserving the family's reputation?" If Lin Mengya were to witness such a dramatic act, she would applaud her for her superb showmanship. Perhaps she would even carry a stool here and sit herself down to enjoy the show while eating a packet of sunflower seeds. Concubine De did not want to believe what she said, but the fact was that Lin Mengya and the maids by her side had indee
"There's one other thing which puzzles me, Sixth Prince, where did you hear the news that I was taken a hostage?" Lin Mengya turned her head and around and queried. She had sent Qinghu to protect Long Tianyi, but everything happened in haste. At that time, all she thought about was to return to Prince Yu's Mansion as soon as possible, lest she made Concubine De anxious. Never had she expected to be stopped by Long Qinghan's horse carriage. He had tossed her a bag of clothes and directed the horse carriage to the inn. However, they did not check in to the inn but merely got into another horse carriage and headed straight home as fast as they could. It was only after she entered the mansion that she realized that the entire Mansion was in a chaotic panic over her disappearance. After an agonizing search by Concubine De, she sent for all the tip-top guards from the mansion, a
"Your Highness, I'm afraid the princess had retired for the day. It would be a good idea for you to go back to Qingwu Courtyard to rest." Steward Deng swallowed nervously as he stole a glance at the Prince to check on his reaction. Long Tianyu squinted although he did not appear unhappy on his face. However, he did not intend to leave at all. Something was not quite right today. Why these two people were were acting so strangely? "Your Highness, the Princess had retired for the day. She said the night wind was chilly and you should go back early to rest." Finally, a hesitant voice of a servant from within the courtyard sounded out. She must have braced herself to do such a brave act. Steward Deng remained silent as he looked to the Prince with his wise old eyes, seeking his opinion. "Your..." before he could finish saying 'Highness', the Prince disappeared from before his eyes.
Lin Mengya who had completely lost her appetite got up and went to sit down by her study table to start reading a book. Baiji and Baishao looked at each other and began to laugh to themselves secretly. The princess they served was really something else. Why should everything she ate not taste sour? If there was a bottle of vinegar inside her heart, how could she taste anything sweet? With an empty stomach, Lin Mengya felt totally weak. She would not have a sleepless night if Long Tianyu did not come to her last night. Sob, sob, she was having a terrible headache and feeling all dizzy! "Who had provoked our little woman here? Look at the deep furrows on your forehead. They could crush some mosquitoes to death." Qinghu's voice sounded from within the room. Lin Mengya lifted her head and saw that guy coming to life once again. After Qinghu fully re
"Thank you for telling me this. I've just arrived at the mansion and there are many protocols that I'm not aware of. Please do teach me about them." Before she arrived, His Majesty had already briefed her on many things regarding Prince Yu. It was said that Prince Yu's mother also lived within the mansion. This girl who just arrived must be Concubine De's maid servant. If she managed to please this maid, she might put in a good word for her before Concubine De, which in turn would be beneficial to her. Hongyu's submissiveness had improved Jinyue's impression of this foreign woman immensely. There were also other beautiful women in the palace who were gifted to them by the western foreign land, however, they had a lower status than her. Their warm and forthright nature had also gained the favor of the other princesses. In this light, she had a rather good impression of this foreign girl before her eye
"Long Tianyu, I'm warning you not to be funny!" Lin Mengya was going crazy with rage, her expression looked as if she was going to eat him up. Long Tianyu was not looking any better. She had indicated that she was thinking of climbing over the wall. How dare she behave so arrogantly before him? Did this woman even aware of how she should behave, being a princess? "You're my wife, what do you mean by me trying to be funny?" However, he was not interested in any woman now. Moreover, this woman before his eyes was so ferocious that she even refused to let him get close to her. However, he thought he should communicate with his wife after all. "I... I'm not your wife, I'm just a guise. I'm your accomplice, a dagger in your hand, but definitely not our wife!" Lin Mengya said, biting the bullet without considering the consequences. She should have dra
Baishao also ran her fingers on the embroidered patterns on the fabric. A while ago, the dresses for the feast had been sent over from the palace since a while ago. After touching the embroidery work, she began to complain the work was not as exquisite as her own. In a fit of excitement, Lin Mengya casually asked Baiji and made another embroidered dress for her. She totally did not expect this maid to really rush to make a new one for her. "It's not entirely because I have the best embroidery skills, it is mostly because you, my mistress, are appreciative of me." Baiji replied as her pretty little face blushed. Lin Mengya looked at Baiji with a smile, as she noticed that her maidservant's eyes were blood red from any days of working on the embroidery. "There's no need to be so modest. Ever since you came to me, all my clothes had been through your skillful hands and they were much more
Lin Mengwu was just the daughter of a rich man who had been spoilt at home, and she was no match for the Princess Royal. All the people present were anticipating an exciting drama to happen between these two women who were entangled in each other's arms. "We had heard that the Eighth Princess Royal was a sassy lady. Today we've witnessed this for ourselves." "Indeed, I heard that this Eighth Princess Royal is the daughter of the State Patron Yang. Apparently, she had inherited her father's temperament!" State Patron Yang? Lin Mengya lifted her eyes to the beauty who was riding on Lin Mengwu and slapping this way and that. The Yang family was the country pioneers. The Old Gentleman had been an official who stayed in power over the past three dynasties. This princess royal was Old Gentleman Yang's only granddaughter and was coddled and cosseted since young. The family had made an exception to get her a
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
