Honestly speaking, Irene's attire and appearance did indeed have a fairy-like aura that would make people forget about the mundane world.
However, the more obvious something was, the more artificial it seemed.
For example, although Madam Lian was not dressed as exquisitely as Irene, she made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
At first glance, people would feel that she was kind, so they would naturally want to get close to her.
Although Irene wasn't the kind of person who was close to the people, her face could be considered gentle, and she didn't have a cold and aloof aura that kept people a thousand miles away.
When she sat in front of them, she could be said to be natural and unrestrained.
However, Lin Mengya did not like her. It had nothing to do with whether Irene was Master Lian's old lover or not. It was just that she did not like her at first sight.
The three of them sat in the small hall and drank tea. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Lin Mengya and Irene did not mind, but Madam Lian felt uncomfortable as it was her first time in such an occasion.
Irene was a perceptive person. After looking at the two of them, she revealed a gentle and beautiful smile.
"I haven't congratulated Madam. I heard a few days ago that Second Young Master Lian is outstanding in martial arts. In this way, you two complement each other."
As soon as she said this, Lin Mengya caught the hidden meaning in her words.
Madam Lian only knew this from Gong Wu, but Irene said she knew it long ago.
Then who was it that told her?
As expected, Lin Mengya saw the sadness on Madam Lian's face.
This woman was really powerful. She could casually hurt Madam Lian's heart with a few words.
However, Lin Mengya was not someone to be trifled with. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip.
"Aunt Irene is really well-informed. No wonder His Majesty ordered people to put up the notice on the day of his promotion. It's a pity that my uncle and Second Young Master Lian are so busy that they haven't stepped out of the palace for several days. "
If Irene had information channels, did she not?
They must be too busy. Otherwise, even if Master Lian had no time to send a letter, Lian Xing would have sent someone.
This woman was obviously here to stir up trouble. How could she let Irene get her way?
"That's true. I wonder if Darling Lian …"
Irene's expression changed. She seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with her and immediately changed her words.
"I'm saying that Sir Lian must be very busy. Madam, please don't blame him. "
Oh, with such a considerate look on Master Lian's face, who was the original wife then?
"That's only natural. My aunt has always been virtuous and virtuous. She would always put my uncle first in everything she did. With my aunt's personality, she wouldn't be able to do something so unreasonable and unreasonable. After all, I'm from a wealthy family, so there are some things that I can see more clearly than others. "
As soon as she finished her sentence, she sharply sensed the coldness in Ellen's eyes.
What did it mean to trample on someone else's sore spot? For a woman like Irene who thought of herself as a flower on a high mountain, some things would definitely be her Achilles' heel.
For example, family background.
But in the blink of an eye, Little Lotus's eyes turned red.
A pair of large eyes quickly filled with tears as he looked at Madam Lian across from him.
"Madam, are you blaming me?"
"No, don't think too much."
Madam Lian was indeed a little sad just now, but she really didn't have any resentment towards Irene.
Although she wasn't as knowledgeable as her husband and son, she still had some of the clear love and hate of the men of the Lian family.
Otherwise, Lin Mengya would say that if they weren't family, they wouldn't enter the same door.
But Little Lotus didn't know that Lin Mengya coldly watched her act and only wanted to know the purpose of her visit today.
"I know it's all my fault. I should also know that what happened between me and Darling Lian should have ended more than 20 years ago. But … but we couldn't help it. These days, I couldn't sleep at night. I just want to ask Madam to fulfill our wish. Madam, please, for the sake of you and Darling Lian being husband and wife for so many years, please fulfill our wish! "
Little Lotus's voice was full of tears. Those who didn't know would think that he was the victim.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but admire his words.
What a shocking view of the world. Today, she had learned something new.
Indeed, a shameless person was invincible.
She sneered in her heart. Just when she was about to retort, Madam Lian spoke.
"You shouldn't ask me about this. You should ask him."
"Madam, Irene knows it's difficult for you. Irene doesn't want to snatch Darling Lian away. It's just that all these years, Irene really can't bear to see Darling Lian suffer from the pain of lovesickness. Irene promises you that even if Darling Lian marries me in the future, I won't fight with you for your favor. Irene only hopes that you can fulfill our wish. "
On the other side, Little Lotus's acting was delicate and pitiful.
He was a pitiful woman who risked her life for love. But on the other side, although Madam Lian could see that she was extremely sad, she still spoke in a serious tone and tried to reason with Little Lotus seriously.
"In the end, this matter isn't about me. Speaking of which, this is your business. Everything between me and him, that's our business. I have nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter if Master wants to marry you or what, it's his own decision. I think you should look for him, not me. "
Lin Mengya was stunned. She didn't expect Madam Lian to be so calm.
Little Lotus was stunned. He must have met someone who was more upright than Madam Lian.
Therefore, he didn't cry or beg, but just stared at Madam Lian.
"Madam, do you agree?"
Madam Lian shook her head and said seriously.
"I don't have the right to make this decision. You'd better ask Master."
"Madam is still angry with me. I … I swear that I will never fight with you. You're the legal wife, I … I'm just a concubine. "
Madam Lian sighed. She stood up and handed her handkerchief to Little Lotus.
"Let me tell you again, it's the relationship between the two of you. I have no right to interfere. So, the person who should make the decision is not me, but you and him. As for what happened between me and him, it's between me and him. It has nothing to do with you. Now, do you understand? "
Lin Mengya didn't know whether Little Lotus understood or not. The only thing she knew was that Little Lotus had been completely defeated.
Until now, Little Lotus hadn't realized the gap between her and Madam Lian's thinking.
No, it was more appropriate to call it a natural chasm.
"You should go back first. When Master is free, he will give you a satisfactory answer. This is the Gong family, we can't trouble them too much. "
Madam Lian said seriously. In fact, she didn't have any other thoughts.
But Irene's eyes widened as she was asked to leave by Uncle Rong.
"Ya 'er, tell me, did I do something wrong?"
Madam Lian turned around and looked at Gong Ya in confusion.
But Gong Ya gave her a thumbs up.
"No, you did nothing wrong. You're amazing. It seems that my worries were unnecessary. "
No wonder Master Lian didn't rush to explain. He must have known better than her that Madam Lian was a woman with a strange way of thinking.
Not to mention Little Lotus, even a senior green tea who was a few levels higher than her would be defeated by Madam Lian's strange logic.
However, although she was amused, Lin Mengya didn't stop investigating Little Lotus.
On the one hand, her past with Master Lian was one of the reasons. On the other hand, Long Tianhao had mentioned that his adopted son had suddenly appeared.
Even if Long Tianhao wanted to adopt a son, he wouldn't have done so before he lost his memory.
She was afraid that there was something fishy going on.
"Baisu, ask them to keep an eye on Irene. Don't let down your guard. Be careful, don't let her find out."
Baisu nodded and left with her order.
There would come a day when the truth would surface.
After Irene left, the Gong family completely quieted down.
Gu Pan still wanted to talk to her, but Princess Ma felt that the situation outside was too chaotic and didn't allow her to run around.
Therefore, she asked Gu Pan to send her an invitation, inviting her to the Prince's Mansion three days later.
Lin Mengya readily agreed, and Shangguan Hui's condition improved.
After a whole day of fever, she finally woke up.
Lin Mengya stayed in front of the bed and didn't dare to get too close, for fear that she would irritate Shangguan Hui and make her lose control again.
"Where … where am I?"
Her voice was weak and hoarse, which made Lin Mengya's heart ache. She tried to hold her hand gently.
"Don't be afraid. You're in my house. It's safe here."
Shangguan Hui shrank a little, but still looked at her timidly.
After a long time, she gently held Lin Mengya's hand back.
"I … I know you. But … I can't remember what your name is. "
Lin Mengya knew that Shangguan Hui's condition was not very good.
The physical pain was one thing, but the main thing was that she seemed to have suffered very serious mental torture.
Shangguan Hui's willpower was beyond ordinary people's since she was not crazy.
Lin Mengya didn't expect Shangguan Hui to remember now, so she nodded and put Shangguan Hui's hand back into the quilt.
"It's okay. You'll remember it eventually. Have a good rest and don't worry."
She comforted Shangguan Hui softly, but the latter stretched out her slender hand and grasped her wrist tightly.
"You … you have to be careful. Someone … someone wants to hurt you. "
Her words shocked Lin Mengya.
"Sister Hui, do you remember something? Don't worry. Think about it slowly. "
But Shangguan Hui frowned and looked like she was in great pain.
"Someone keeps hitting me. It hurts … it hurts …"
Lin Mengya realized that something was wrong, so she immediately pierced Shangguan Hui's acupoint with a silver needle.
That person immediately quieted down and gradually closed her eyes, falling into a coma.
"Run … run …"
Lin Mengya heard her murmur in her dream intermittently.
Even though her consciousness was in a mess and her body was so weak, Shangguan Hui still remembered that someone wanted to hurt her.
It seemed that the person who wanted to hurt her must be extremely dangerous.
