“Sister, you should keep it. I’ll live a wealthy life after entering the prince’s mansion. Nevertheless, it will be even more difficult for us to meet in the future.”
Sumei pushed the silver back to her sister and said with anticipation.
Looking at her sister who was completely strange, Hongyu felt her heart wrenched and numbed at the same time.
It seemed that she had misjudged her sister.
She smiled helplessly. She claimed that she had seen through people’s minds. Unexpectedly, her sister sharing the same parents with her was the only one she failed to see through.
“You should keep it, and take care of yourself in future.”
Hongyu still stared at her sister, reluctantly to leave her.
During these days and nights in the brothel, she had entertained numerous guests and lived a miserable life.
However, the only thing that made her hold on was her family members who had actually been blurred in her memory.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her so-called family members who had pushed her into the everlasting perdition.
Nevertheless, after so many years of anticipation, she couldn’t let it go at once.
Perhaps she should thank Princess Yu. If it weren’t for her, it would have been difficult for Hongyu to see through it.
“No, thanks, sister. By the way, could you leave me a few pieces of your jewelry if it’s convenient? Anyway, I’m going to be a concubine of the prince’s mansion, so I should make myself look fancy. Nevertheless, please leave me some jewelry you haven’t worn. It would be terrible if I meet some guests in the future and they find it familiar…”
Her heart was torn apart piece by piece.
Hongyu didn’t know why she couldn’t even shed a single drop of tear.
It was so ridiculous that her sister turned out to be such a woman.
Perhaps the fate was kidding her…
After they returned to the middle courtyard, Baishao was very cheerful.
Lin Mengya looked at her and couldn’t help shaking her head helplessly.
This girl still had a long way to go before being capable of hiding her emotions.
“Master, you got a good idea. As long as the girl dares to come here, she will be in our hands. Master, feel free to leave it to me. I guarantee that I’ll fix her and make her dare not mess with you.”
Compared with Baishao who was eager for fixing Sumei, Lin Mengya looked much calmer.
In fact, she went there with the purpose of making everyone see it and then spread the news.
Long Tianyu knew it, so he followed her there. But she should give Baishao some directions.
“Well, just don’t go too far. Your Highness, you should show her some smile every now and then. If you keep a straight face all the time, our plan may not work out.”
“Plan? What plan, master?”
Baishao opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Mengya. Obviously she did not expect that her master had a plan.
“I’ll try.”
It was really a challenge for Long Tianyu. He didn’t know why he could only smile in front of Lin Mengya.
But he couldn’t smile in front of others.
Nevertheless, in order to cooperate with Lin Mengya, he had to do his best.
“What effective weapon do you think those behind Sumei will give her?
Lin Mengya leaned against the soft imperial concubine couch, cover with a damask quilt, enjoying Baishao’s considerate service comfortably.
“No idea.”
Long Tianyu gave a brief answer as always.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Mengya also failed to figure it out.
However, she thought that the reason why Sumei insisted on staying and tried every way to be Long Tianyu’s concubine was more than seeking high position and great wealth.
Now it was an eventful period. In front of anyone showing up around them, they must think over before making a judgment.
If Sumei was really a snobbish girl intending to attach herself to Long Tianyu, it was a lot simpler.
“Baishao, invite Xiu to come here.”
Early in the morning, Xiu, the restless girl, had gone out to play.
She should have probably returned now.
Xiu had been locked up with Sumei before. So a clever girl like Xiu might know something about it.
Baishao went to invite Xiu immediately. After a while, the courtyard became lively.
“Sister princess! Sister princess! Are you befuddled? Why did you allow Sumei to enter your mansion!”
Xiu came in noisily and saw the couple who were drinking tea.
Xiu immediately grinned and showed a bright smile.
“Why do you stop talking loudly? I didn’t notice that your voice is louder than that of gongs. Well, we can use your voice to replace the gongs in the future.”
Lin Mengya raised her head and teased Xiu.
Xiu immediately turned into a well-behaved little girl, walked up to Lin Mengya, and drew out a very exquisite jade ring from her bosom and placed it in front of Lin Mengya like presenting a treasure.
“I did that to cooperate with you. I’ve heard from Baishao that you deliberately convinced the bad girl that she could be Prince Yu’s concubine. If I don’t make a scene, she will be suspicious.”
Xiu suggested something in her words. Lin Mengya just knew that this smart girl must have found some evidence.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given Sumei a cold shoulder along the way.
Nevertheless, she didn’t really drive Sumei and Hongyu away.
Lin Mengya was on intimate terms with Xiu. If Xiu insisted on sending Hongyu and Sumei away, no one could stop her.
So, this girl must have been intentional.
“Haha, sister princess, I just know I can’t hide it from you.”
Xiu tied the jade ring around Lin Mengya’s waist.
That was the custom of her hometown. If she made a wish with a piece of fine jade, the jade could suck the bad luck out of the person wearing it.
She hoped that sister princess could recover sooner.
After finishing this, Xiu lowered her voice and said.
“I found White Dragon and Black Tiger are only the lowest-level minions. There are more powerful masters behind them. When I was imprisoned, they often fed me with a sort of drug. But they did not know about the body constitution of the members of our Dongfang family. No matter what kind of poison I’m fed, it will gradually be less effective as long as it fails to kill me after I take it more than three times. So I heard their conversation with Sumei when I once pretended to be asleep.”
Xiu told detailedly. Her courage, wisdom and special body constitution enabled her to bring them such important information.
It turned out that the whole thing that Sumei was abducted and sold, recognized that Hongyu was her sister and insisted on following them in the Square Town might be a play arranged by someone.
According to Xiu, Sumei, those locking them up and the owner of Huichun House were all grasshoppers on a rope.
If Lin Mengya did not meet Xiu accidentally, they would put on a show and lure Lin Mengya to their place when Lin Mengya reached the Square Town.
However, man proposed but god disposed. They had never expected that Lin Mengya would come to their door on her own initiative.
Thinking in this way, Lin Mengya found what happened later made sense.
“However, according to their plan, they should abduct you and take you somewhere. But they probably did not expect that the boss of Huichun House would let you go. When I pretended to be asleep on the last day before we left, I saw Zhu Yan called Sumei over to tell her something and give her a packet of something. But I did see what it was. I once went to Sumei’s room and looked around for it when she was not there. But there was no trace of it.”
After hearing Xiu’s words, Lin Mengya felt a lot of her doubts had been removed.
She originally thought that she was in a completely passive position.
However, she had controlled many variables in this game.
Perhaps these variables could be the magic weapon bringing about a complete turnabout for her at the critical moment.
But now she could only push the boat along with the current.
She should convince those people that Sumei had really carried out their intention and became Long Tianyu’s new favorite.
“What are you thinking?”
Looking at Lin Mengya who was in a daze, Long Tianyu involuntarily asked.
After glancing at Long Tianyu blankly, Lin Mengya shook her head gently and said.
“I was thinking about what their purpose is. Do they also aim at the music score for green stringed instrument that didn’t exist long ago?”
Long Tianyu also smelled a rat in the matter. His father had told him that there were no more than five people in the world knowing the news of the music score for green stringed instrument except for the members of the Pavilion of Herbs.
Unexpectedly, there were even secret forces he did not know after the music score for green stringed instrument.
Moreover, the even weirder thing was that they even knew that the music score for green stringed instrument might be in Lin Mengya’s hands.
Even he made sure of it after sounding her out in every way.
Who was so infinitely resourceful? Or where did they made a mistake and let out the secret?
“It’s likely. After all, the music score for green stringed instrument is a rare medical book handed down from ancient times. There must be numerous people after it.”
Long Tianyu obfuscated it without turning a hair, but Lin Mengya was stuck in greater puzzlement.
Xiu said that those people had given Sumei a packet of stuff.
What was it so that Sumei even got the guts to go to Long Tianyu’s room?
Lin Mengya could not figure it out in a while.
It seemed that she had to wait for Sumei to give herself away.
Just after dinner, the news that Princess Anle had picked a concubine for her husband had been discussed animatedly in Wangtian City.
However, most people felt sorry for Princess Anle.
After all, now she was the most beloved one among the entire royal family.
Moreover, it was rumored that she was a peerless beauty with excellent medical skills.
With such a great wife, her husband still screwed around with someone else. He was simply a lecherous man.
Lin Mengya found it a little amusing.
She didn’t know whether Long Tianyu would go to fix those people after knowing it.
But he was probably occupied at this moment.
Because…
“Long Tianyu! You are such a heartbreaker! Get out here for your doom!”
Zuo Qiuyu shouted as soon as he entered the prince’s mansion, and everyone in the mansion heard him clearly.
