After witnessing her ruthless methods, An Jiarong behaved herself for a few days.
To her surprise, the An family didn't react at all after the woman with her tongue cut was sent back.
This surprised everyone in the Gong family.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya's side was still calm and composed.
"Girl, don't think that I don't know what you're planning."
Although Fourth Gong agreed with all of her decisions on the surface, he still came looking for her in secret.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at her fourth brother.
"It's not difficult for you to infuriate the An Clan, but the method you're using isn't worth it."
If she had to have a confidant in her life, then her fourth brother was definitely the best choice.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Actually, I'm not as clever as you think I am. At least for now, we don't know what's going on in the An family. Oh yeah, I asked you to look for An Zichen. Did you find any clues? "
Although she didn't have any feelings for the An family, she had special feelings for An Zichen.
After all, they went through thick and thin together on the ship.
Who knew that there would be no trace of him, which made her feel strange.
"I've asked many people to look into Zichen's matter. But the strange thing is, no one knows where he is. Speaking of which, he's probably the only righteous person in the An family. "
Fourth Gong sighed when he mentioned his childhood friend.
Although An Zichen was educated by the family, he still had a conscience and was much more pleasing to the eye than the rest of the An family.
"I still have to find him. He left in such a hurry, something big must have happened."
Most importantly, after several confrontations with the An family, she realized that the head of the An family didn't know much about her.
Otherwise, he would have made a big deal out of it long ago.
Could it be that An Zichen didn't mention it to anyone in the An family?
Although many things had happened, the New Year arrived on schedule.
The snow sculptures on the street were more or less finished.
According to the emperor's order, the snow sculptures would be exhibited to the public from the beginning of the new year until the first day of the new year.
The Gong Family's snow sculpture was also completed. Compared to the previous palace, this time, it was a heavenly palace built on auspicious clouds.
The whiteness of the snow and the craftsmen's exquisite craftsmanship perfectly blended together. The entire Snow Sculpture Palace was like the peak of the clouds above the nine heavens, giving off a divine aura.
Of course, the other families weren't bad either.
The New Year in Dragon City was celebrated on the 23rd of the twelfth month.
Apart from the snow eagles outside, everyone's homes had to be cleaned, sacrificed, and prepared for the New Year.
She naturally didn't need to clean up, but according to her great-grandfather's wishes, she also needed to participate in the sacrificial ritual.
However, Lin Mengya was lazy and said a lot of sweet nothings to him before she got rid of the job.
However, when she saw that everyone had something to do, she was bored out of her mind. Fortunately, Murong Xi sent someone to deliver a letter to her.
There was only one sentence in the letter, asking her to meet at Yuexin Teahouse.
Lin Mengya was full of joy. She dressed herself up and sneaked out with Baisu.
From far away, he could see Ning 'er's little face peeking out from the window on the second floor of the teahouse.
She didn't stop running. She ran to the baby's side.
"Didn't you say you were going to the palace? Why did you come out?"
She took the baby and kissed Ning 'er's little face a few times.
The baby immediately clung to her neck obediently and looked at her with his big eyes.
"The important things should be handled by the Crown Prince. I want to accompany you."
Today, he was dressed like an ordinary rich young master.
Although his face was still too handsome, he looked more amiable because he didn't have that frosty expression on his face.
His gaze was gentle as he looked at the mother and son. His heart was soft like never before.
"Then, let's go out for a walk. There are so many people outside. No one will notice us. "
This was the civilian area, and there were many people.
Naturally, those high-ranking officials and nobles would not come here.
However, it was convenient for the three of them.
Murong Xi nodded. When the three of them went out to the street, Ning 'er was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of goods.
Lin Mengya was also in a good mood. She bought a lot of things with Murong Xi along the way.
In a short while, the guards following behind them were carrying a lot of things in their hands.
"Hold the baby. I'll go over there to buy some rouge and powder."
She didn't like to put on makeup, but many of the maidservants and daughters-in-law in the mansion liked it.
Moreover, there were many varieties and the quality was very good. She could ask her great-grandfather and the others to bring them back to the old mansion as a gift.
However, there were too many women there, and her husband's face was too lethal.
In order not to hurt the innocent girl's heart, and for everyone to have a good New Year, she had to be selfish for a while.
After buying almost all the varieties, Lin Mengya stood by the stall and waited for the stall owner to wrap her up.
She inadvertently saw a familiar figure at the corner of the street.
Wasn't that Ai Lian?
Although the other party was wrapped up, Lin Mengya could still recognize her at first glance.
When she saw the figure disappear at the corner, she returned to Murong Xi's side with the things she had bought.
"I think I saw Ai Lian just now. She was so sneaky. Do you think she's doing something bad? "
Although Fourth Elder Brother and Murong Xi's men were keeping an eye on Ai Lian, they did not receive any news of her going out today.
Before Lin Mengya could finish her sentence, Murong Xi waved his hand and a few guards immediately followed her.
"Where did she go?"
Lin Mengya pointed in the direction and the guards immediately followed.
The three of them were temporarily tired from walking, so they returned to the teahouse.
Not long after, one of the people who followed her came back to report.
"Your Highness, she went to the Lusheng Courtyard."
Murong Xi nodded with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
This was the first time she had heard of this name.
The latter pondered for a moment before he said.
"This is a very secret place to seek pleasure."
He quickly explained when he saw the unfriendly look in his little woman's eyes.
"I've never been there, but I've heard people mention it a few times. It's said that as long as you have money and power, there's nothing you can't get. "
"What kind of people usually go there?"
"Heads of aristocratic families, or people with real power among the three kings. As far as I know, there are no more than ten people in the entire Wei Country who are qualified to go there. "
Lin Mengya was even more confused. If that was the case, how did Ai Lian qualify to go there?
"I've discovered something."
She looked at her man from the corner of her eyes.
The latter felt goosebumps under her gaze, but because he was too frank, there was nothing to be guilty about.
"You seem to know a lot of secrets. I haven't had the chance to ask you. What's your identity now?"
Because she trusted her man, she had never tried to find out anything about him.
However, ever since she came to Dragon City, all the news about Murong Xi had a sense of mystery.
This made her even more curious.
Murong Xi had only arrived at Dragon City a little earlier than her. How did she manage to gain so much power that she could not even dream of?
Murong Xi thought for a moment, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"I'm Murong Xi, the Murong Xi you know."
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes. It was too easy to fool a ghost with this nonsense.
"Alright, I'll tell you. Apart from being Princess Xi, I'm also the disciple of The Lord. "
It was still perfunctory, but Lin Mengya could tell that he did not really agree with these two identities.
"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to tell me. Just remember, no matter what you do in the future, please consider me and the baby. "
She could feel that he was actually carrying a very heavy burden on his shoulders.
The more power a person enjoys, the more responsibility he will have.
Murong Xi smiled and gently stroked her cheek.
"Thank you for appearing in front of me."
If she hadn't brought light to his life, he probably wouldn't have experienced such blissful feelings in his entire life.
Lin Mengya, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, finally felt shy for once.
Looking at her cute face, Murong Xi suddenly wanted to kiss her.
Unfortunately, Ning 'er grabbed his father's sleeve at this moment.
"Hmm?"
The father lowered his head and looked at his son.
The baby pointed at his belly, and then at the back hall.
Murong Xi, who had fully understood the baby's intentions these days, could only angrily put down the temptation in front of him.
"I'll take him to the toilet, I'll be back in a while."
Lin Mengya sent the father and son off with a smile. Under Baisu's slightly teasing gaze, she struggled to maintain her dignity as a master.
Fortunately, she was not an ordinary woman, and the second messenger had arrived.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, the person we were following has returned. But we saw her talking to someone at the door. "
"Who was it?"
The guard shook his head and said.
"It was too far away, I didn't see the face clearly, but it should be a woman."
It was very normal for men and women to appear in a place of pleasure.
"Thank you, you can leave now."
"Yes."
But Ailian was not a simple character.
She had sneaked in, which meant that she was not one of the people there.
But she was connected to that place, and seemed to know the people there.
This made her feel that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"What are you thinking about? So serious?"
After returning with the baby, Murong Xi looked a little disappointed.
After all, the best opportunity had been missed.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking that I'll be leaving for the Holy Temple after the New Year."
