“You’re such a gentle and honest kid. It’s all your great uncle’s fault. Ruqin is his beloved daughter but she’s impolite and thoughtless. It’s really hard for you to be friendly to her.”
Concubine De looked at Lin Mengya carefully and felt that this daughter-in-law was dignified and generous and had good character.
Ruqin had said that Mengya was vicious and evil-minded. But now it seemed that this was just slander.
“Mother, this is not a big deal. What’s wrong with great uncle’s wanting to love his daughter? If I come across Ruqin later, I’ll just ignore her. Mother, please don’t worry about this.”
From now on, Jiang Ruqin might become the most unpopular guest in Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Lin Mengya returned to the Qinglan Courtyard from the Art Courtyard. The three servant girls and Lin Zhongyu were waiting for her anxiously.
“Master, are you okay?”
Baizhi was first on to come towards her. But she dared not touch her hands.
The blue and purple marks were vivid and even them were frightened at the sight of her wrist.
“I’m fine. I’ve told you this is not the real bruise.”
The bruise in her arms was not real and would disappear after a few days. She just used the bruise to frighten others. Although this herb had a small number of toxins, it was not fatal.
“I didn’t expect there are such magical herbs in the world. Sister Princess, can you teach me how to recognize different herbs?”
Lin Zhongyu held the hand of Lin Mengya and looked at it carefully.
He also carefully touched the bruise. Although it was similar to the normal bruise, it was actually very soft and had no difference from the surrounding skin.
“Of course. I can teach you if you want to learn. But I can only recognize poisons. What if you’re careless and poison yourself?”
Lin Mengya pinched the small face of Lin Zhongyu. It felt really smooth and soft. As a girl, Lin Mengya admired his fair and smooth skin.
Why was this guy so lucky? All good adjectives across the world could be used to describe him.
“I want to learn it! If someone dares to bully Sister Princess, I’ll poison and kill him!”
Lin Zhongyu endured her pinch of his face and looked at her seriously with his almond eyes.
“Hey! You want to become Walter White of Breaking Bad!”
This little guy was so cute. Lin Mengya could not help but pinch his soft little face. She also made a slip of the tongue and said some words of her previous life.
“What’s Breaking Bad? Is this the name of a man? This name is awesome! I like it!”
Lin Mengya could hardly help laughing silently. She didn’t think this was an awesome name.
Since she came to this dynasty, she has seen through many open and covert schemes with her anti-poison radar.
Poisons were not just used to kill people.
“Pay respect to the Princess! Mrs. Lin arrived and Miss Lin is standing at the gate to welcome her.”
The servants of the mansion hurried to inform them of this news. The harmonious atmosphere was suddenly destroyed.
The faces of three girls were rigid and it seemed that they would rush out to throw Shangguan Qing out of the mansion the next second.
“What are you doing? She’s just a paper tiger. Don’t be nervous. Be relaxed and we can go out and have a look.”
Lin Mengya looked calm and unhurried. But she didn’t expect that Shangguan Qing was so impatient.
Shangguan Qing was asking for trouble and dicing with death.
In fact, Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion was not far away from Prince Yu’s Mansion.
It took half an hour to get there by carriage.
Shangguan Qing was delighted after knowing that she could stay with her daughter in Prince Yu’s Mansion.
She brought many bags and cases and arrived at Prince Yu’s Mansion with her confidants. This scene was impressive.
“Mother, finally you’re here! I miss you so much!”
In fact, when she got the news, she asked someone to send a message to her mother.
After walking out of the Qinglan Courtyard, she had been standing in the doorway and waiting for her mother.
“You’re so naughty. You’re not a kid and shouldn’t spend so much time around me.”
Mrs. Lin was wearing a splendid silk dress and wearing a golden hairpin in her hair. She was wearing a pair of shoes with embroidery of flowers on it. She looked elegant and poised.
She gently chided her only daughter but Lin Mengya could clearly see her affection in her eyes.
Shangguan Qing got off the carriage and was impressed by the grand Prince Yu’s Mansion. She was quite pleased with this building.
Mrs. Lin suddenly realized that this building would belong to her daughter in the near future. When she thought this, a kind smile immediately appeared on her face which was still beautiful and charming.
“Madam, where do we put these things?”
The driver and the menservants unloaded the luggage from the carriage.
Shangguan Qing was about to enter this place by the main door but a beautiful girl with the slender waist and narrow shoulders suddenly stopped them. She took a stool and sat in the middle of the gate.
“The Princess has given an order. She hopes that Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin can enter the mansion by the back door.”
Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu had never been treated so rudely. They immediately stared at this pretty girl with anger.
“Who are you? Why don’t you follow the rules of Prince Yu’s Mansion? You’re just a servant girl, how dare you offend the honored guests?”
As the hostess of the Lin family, Shangguan Qing was more experienced than Lin Mengwu.
But unluckily, today her opponent was Baishao who was bold and vigorous.
“Hey! I don’t think we should respect those uninvited guests! Only the legal wife of Prince Yu and Concubine De can enter by the main door! You can only enter Prince Yu’s Mansion by this small corner gate. We have strict rules and you can’t do whatever you want. But I suddenly remembered that you asked your unmarried daughter to live in someone else’s home. It’s obvious that you are ill-mannered.”
With both hands on her hip, Baishao said to them with obvious sarcasm and Shangguan Qing’s face immediately darkened.
But they were at Prince Yu’s Mansion instead of Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion. They had to endure unfair treatment.
“Sister Baishao! You’re awesome!”
Lin Zhongyu, who was hiding in the janitor’s room and peeping at them, couldn’t help but gave her a thumbs-up behind her back.
Her fighting power was much higher than that of the ordinary servant girls.
Lin Mengya sat in a chair, leisurely enjoyed her tea, and watched them.
“You’re just a servant but my mother is the wife of Marquis Zhennan and the younger sister of the Empress. How dare you offend my mother! Come on! Beat her up!”
A few women who were wearing coarse clothes must have been domineering and bossy in Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion. They actually rolled up the sleeves and wanted to catch Baishao.
Baishao had already been proficient in all the skills of a shrew. She immediately took action to fight back!
She immediately freed her hair from the band, tore her clothes, and then cried loudly without considering her face.
“Ah! Where’s the justice! The guests are too vicious! They break into our house and hit the servants of the host! My goodness! They are too unreasonable!”
Lin Mengya nearly spat out the water in her mouth. She immediately stood up, hid behind the door, and enjoyed the performance of Baishao.
Baishao kicked over her stool and tore her neat and tidy clothes. Her pretty face was also streaked with tears.
She was crying and shouting and the few women couldn’t even get close to her.
But Baishao scratched them with her long and pointed nails and the few women all had deep scratches on their hands and faces.
Baishao waved her hands and scratched all those who were close to her with her long nails. Lin Mengya cheered for Baishao in her heart.
Baishao was like a hedgehog and the few women could do nothing about her.
Baishao seized the opportunity and slumped down on the ground. She grabbed the mud with both hands and smeared it on her white face.
“Ah! The guests are overbearing! They hit the lady’s servant and want to grab her husband!”
The several people hiding in the janitor’s room were trying hard to suppress their laughter.
Baishao’s acting skills and lines were excellent and after a while, a lot of audiences gathered around them.
Some women who were doing manual work in the outer court couldn’t stand their reckless provocation anymore. They also rolled up the sleeve to help Baishao.
“You… You…”
Shangguan Qing was furious and nearly fainted. She pointed at Baishao who was acting up but she couldn’t even say a complete sentence.
“What do you want to say? I’m only a servant but at least I know the honor and disgrace. You and your daughter break into our house and bully the master’s servants. Shame on you!”
Baishao always gained the upper hand. Her fighting power was amazing!
She had the advantage but her clothes became dirty when she was rolling about on the ground.
Soon, all the onlookers knew that Marquis Zhennan’s wife broke into Prince Yu’s Mansion and hit the servants.
Within two hours, she would become the new laughing stock in the capital city.
“You… Wu’er, let’s enter the mansion by the back door!”
Shangguan Qing finally became ashamed. She and her daughter hurried to the back door of the mansion in dejection.
“Alright, you can leave now. Thank you for your help. I’m the servant of the Qinglan Courtyard and my name is Baishao. You can come to me if you have any problem.”
Baishao immediately regained her composure after the enemy left.
She wiped her face with a handkerchief and her face became clean and pretty once again.
“Master, what do you think of my performance?”
Baishao was excited and strode into the janitor’s room.
Lin Zhongyu kept laughing and he felt a pain in his chest. Baiji was rubbing his abdomen.
Baizhi rolled herself into a ball. She was still laughing and had no strength to stand up.
Only Lin Mengya was calm now. But at this moment, her face was also twitching unnaturally.
“Well, you’re excellent! If the war broke out, you can shout abuses at the enemies. The general and soldiers will be humiliated by you and kill themselves.”
In fact, she just told Baishao to embarrass Shangguan Qing.
But she didn’t expect that she used a critical skill and humiliated Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu. They completely lost their faces.
Baishao taught them a good lesson today and she might become the head of the servants of Prince Yu’s Mansion from now on.
“Shout abuses at the enemies? This job suits me. Master, I can have a try if there’s the opportunity. My name will become famous if I can win honor and become a general!”
Baishao wined an outright victory today. Her clothes got dirty but her eyes were full of excitement.
“Well, please get cleaned up. This is not the end. The really interesting part of the show is yet to come!”
Lin Mengya smiled mysteriously and the other four people were very curious.
