Using the excuse that she needed some time to think, Lin Mengya chased the two maidservants away. Even Gong Wu, who wanted to join in the fun, was kicked out.
Lin Mengya sat in the room. On the table were the brocade boxes that the Lian family had sent over.
The boxes were considered ordinary, but the most important thing was the things inside.
She opened one of the boxes and took out the thing inside.
It was a brown strip, dry and hard, with a faint medicinal smell.
The Shen Nung system automatically analyzed the medicinal properties inside, and the other boxes contained similar things.
These were the medicinal herbs that the Baili family had given to Madam Lian.
Lin Mengya identified them one by one, and then put them back in the brocade box.
Sure enough, the problem was with this medicine.
The fact that the Lian family had sent this medicine meant that they trusted her.
Even if it was as she thought, and the Lian family knew about it, they would not be willing to be controlled by others.
His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down in a daze.
At least for now, she was safe.
"Little sister, what are you doing? Eh, aren't these the tonics that the Lian family sent for you? "
Gong Wu could not help but squeeze in through the door.
However, Lin Mengya did not ask anyone to stop him. She waved at him, indicating for him to sit beside her.
"This is the medicine that caused the problem with Madam Lian. Now I know what the problem is. However, we still need to discuss with the Lian family about how they want to deal with it and what plans they have. "
Gong Wu curiously picked up the medicine in front of her. He looked at it carefully, but he could not find anything wrong with it.
He could not help but admire his little sister. Indeed, the smartest person in the Gong family was his little sister.
"That means that the Lian family trusts us? But this matter is so tricky, I am afraid that you will be in danger. "
Lin Mengya looked at him and smiled.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there are many people who want our lives. When there are too many debts, there is no need to worry. When there are too many lice, there is no need to bite them. Let them be. "
Moreover, if the Lian family was dealt with, it was equivalent to getting a group of bodyguards for free.
No matter how powerful they were, in Dragon City, they were not as useful as Lian Sheng's imperial guards.
She could see clearly that the imperial guards only listened to Lian Sheng, and they were extremely loyal.
Since that was the case, then she should wade into this pool of muddy water.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Gong Wu rubbed his palms together, feeling rather interested.
Deep down, he was a restless person. The more dangerous it was, the greater the challenge and excitement.
To him, this was a rare pastime.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, tilted her head and smiled mysteriously.
"There's no hurry. The most important thing right now is how to stand out during the Winter Solstice Festival. Oh right, this is the blueprint I asked someone to draw. You can ask the craftsman to painstakingly sculpt it. If there's anything, let them report to me at any time. "
"Alright."
After Gong Wu took over Lin Mengya's drawing, he was stunned.
On the painting was a floating palace that was about to fly away.
Lin Mengya had spent a lot of effort to look for an artist over the past few days. She had also personally instructed the artist on how to do it. After a lot of revision, the finished product was finally made.
The palace was very grand. It was definitely out of the ordinary.
It was just that the painting was painted, but it was actually carved out of pure white snow, so it would lose some of its charm.
This was a fatal weakness. It seemed that he could only rely on the craftsman's ingenious carving.
"Alright."
Gong Wu nodded and accepted the drawing.
In the next few days, Lin Mengya did not have any contact with the Lian Mansion. Instead, she brought her people to check on the craftsmen's progress every day.
The craftsmen were working in shifts. With the financial backing of the Gong Family, although it seemed like they were taking a lunch break, in fact, everyone had strict working hours.
No one would slack off in their work, and no one would be overworked.
With the support of powerful manpower and material resources, the snow sculptures in the entire Dragon City were progressing at a very impressive speed.
By the day before the Winter Solstice, almost all the snow sculptures had been completed.
Lin Mengya looked at her exquisite snow sculptures and nodded.
They did have the charm of the palace on the paper. It was a pity that they could not paint them. Moreover, the emperor and the crown prince only wanted to enjoy it at night.
Looking at it this way, they seemed to have missed a lot of opportunities.
"It seems that this year, Princess Chonghua will be the winner again!"
In the teahouse that Lin Mengya and Gong Wu used as a temporary rest, some people were talking about the snow sculptures.
"Those celestial cranes look like they are coming to life. His Majesty likes this kind of auspicious birds the most. Moreover, Princess Chonghua is really attentive. "
Another person chimed in.
Lin Mengya and Gong Wu had also seen Princess Chonghua's crane sculpture. It was really good.
It had a good artistic conception, a good meaning, and the carving skills were even better.
Princess Chonghua did not use the craftsmen provided by the Gong Family. Instead, she hired a sculptor with a lot of money.
It was said that the sculptor had been working for the royal family for generations. Naturally, his skills and experience were extraordinary.
Compared to the sculptor, their sculpting skills were indeed a little shabby.
However, no matter how good a sculptor was, it could not be compared to a more novel and interesting idea, right?
Seeing that Lin Mengya was not anxious at all, Gong Wu was also relieved.
For some reason, he always felt that this girl in his family had not done her best.
"Speaking of Princess Chonghua, she is really a top notch noble. His Majesty and Empress Dowager dote on her. She comes from a good family and is the childhood sweetheart of the Crown Prince. I think she will be the Crown Prince's wife in the future. "
"You're wrong. Princess Chonghua already has a Mr. Right in her heart."
"Who?"
"Of course it's the extraordinarily handsome Prince Xi! I heard that Princess Chonghua has been in Prince Xi's mansion every day these days. Both the man and the woman are unmarried. I think it must be … "
The ambiguous meaning behind it caused another listener to let out a tacit, wretched smile.
Lin Mengya put down the tea in her hand. She felt a little suffocated.
No wonder that damn man did not come these days. It turned out that he had gone to accompany the little girl!
"What's wrong?"
Gong Wu looked at his sister. She was fine just now. Why did she look unhappy now?
"Nothing. The tea is not to my taste. Brother Wu, let's visit the Lian Family. "
Lin Mengya suppressed the discomfort in her heart. She knew that even if she was angry, she still had to live with that damn man.
Moreover, based on her understanding and trust of Long Tianhao, there would be no problem between this guy and Chonghua.
However, she was unhappy when she heard about the scandal between the two of them.
It was not that she was narrow-minded. Sometimes, understanding was one thing, but whether she was angry or not was another thing.
With a stomach full of worries, the two of them arrived at the Lian Family.
However, as soon as the carriage stopped, she saw a carriage parked outside the Lian Family's mansion.
Her face immediately darkened.
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road!
Didn't that carriage belong to Princess Chonghua?
"Eh? Why is Princess Chonghua here? "
Gong Wu also felt strange. After jumping out of the carriage, he first went to ask the gatekeeper.
After a while, he returned to Lin Mengya.
"I think we'd better leave first. Princess Chonghua came with Prince Xi. We can't afford to offend these two people. "
There was some anger in Gong Wu's words.
After all, Princess Chong Hua had targeted them time and time again. He had not forgotten about this.
Lin Mengya originally wanted to leave, but she thought of the scandal between Long Tianhao and Chonghua.
After a sneer, she jumped out of the carriage.
Even if someone had to hide, it should be Chonghua, the third party.
She was open and aboveboard, so what was there to be afraid of?
Moreover, she still had a bellyful of anger that she had nowhere to vent!
"Of course, why not? This is the Lian Family's mansion, not Princess Chonghua's mansion. I'd like to see what other tricks she has! "
She secretly gritted her teeth. Lin Mengya was a vengeful person.
In the past, she was forced to make concessions for the sake of the overall situation.
Now that the other party was pressing on, if she chickened out, wouldn't it make people think that she was easy to bully?
After tidying up their clothes, the two of them walked into the gate of the Lian Family's mansion.
Originally, the Lian Family was already familiar with the two of them, and now they were treated like distinguished guests.
There were servants leading them in, but they were stopped at the gate of the main courtyard.
"The two of you, our Princess and Prince Xi are here again today. Forgive me for not receiving any guests. Please return."
The man had a pair of eagle eyes, so people felt that he was a little sinister.
Moreover, his attitude was extremely arrogant, and even a little arrogant.
Lin Mengya had always hated this kind of person who looked down on others the most.
She could not be bothered to look at him directly, but after glancing at him, she was about to leave.
"Wait!"
The man blocked her way fearlessly, and his attitude was a little more cold and impatient.
"Who are you?"
Lin Mengya looked at the dog in front of her disdainfully and asked.
"I'm the steward of Princess Chonghua's mansion. I hope Miss Gong can forgive me if I've offended you."
"Oh, so you're the steward of the princess's mansion. I thought it was a stray dog that came out of nowhere. "
Her tone was extremely disdainful. The steward had always been flattered, and had never been insulted like this.
His face immediately turned pale, and he stared at Lin Mengya as if he was going to eat her.
"Miss Gong, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. You're making things difficult for me."
Lin Mengya smiled indifferently and glanced at the man.
"You also know that you're a dog? So it's better that you don't block my way. I don't have the patience to reason with a dog. "
She said coldly. The steward was so angry that he waved his hand.
"Someone, who dares to offend the princess, throw him out!"
At this moment, not only the Gong family, but even the Lian family became dissatisfied with the steward.
This was the Lian Family, not the Princess Chonghua's mansion. Moreover, Gong Yu and Gong Ya were the distinguished guests of the Lian Family. How could they chase them away?
Immediately, the servants of the Lian Family stood behind the Gong siblings, and their attitude was very obvious.
