"For so many years, Princess Lingnan threatened me to do many things for her. She asked me to do a lot of things in Prince Lingnan's Mansion and in the palace. "
There was a hint of coldness in Concubine De's words.
How could a proud woman like her become someone else's puppet?
All the compromises were just for a chance to settle the score.
"The reason why she was so arrogant was that she had something that could be used against me."
Concubine De's face was frosty and there was a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth.
"So the reason why my mother compromised was to take back the thing in Princess Lingnan's hand?"
Lin Mengya thought fast and immediately saw through Concubine De's intention.
"You're half right. In fact, that thing …"
Concubine De's words were interrupted by a female voice.
"Sister Concubine De, I was wrong just now. Please don't be angry."
Not far away, Princess Lingnan and Shangguan Hui walked to Concubine De with a smile on their faces.
"Don't say that. We're sisters. But I've been busy recently, so my words were a little harsh. Please don't take it to heart, sister. "
Lin Mengya realized that the best actress in the family was definitely her mother-in-law, Concubine De.
Look, in a short time, she became the sad heroine again.
Every expression on his face seemed to be feigning calmness.
If she didn't tell Lin Mengya the truth, even Lin Mengya would think that Concubine De must be afraid of Princess Lingnan.
But Shangguan Hui?
Lin Mengya thought for a while. The Shangguan Family in the Capital City was the Empress's maiden family.
Was this girl on the Empress's side?
Lin Mengya observed Shangguan Hui carefully. She was as gentle as water, without any arrogance of the Shangguan Family.
Either she was like this in nature.
Either that or she was just putting on an act.
Anyway, she had to be careful.
"Sister, are you blaming me for bringing people from the Shangguan Family? Sister, you've misunderstood me. Although Hui is from the branch of the Shangguan Family, she has nothing to do with that branch. It's my fault. No wonder you're angry. "
Princess Lingnan was also good at singing and reading. Every move and every style was like what she said.
Lin Mengya maintained her arrogant look and stood beside Concubine De without batting an eyelid.
"How could that be? The young ladies of the Shangguan family, whether they are from the branch family or the main family, are all good. "
Concubine De was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.
Princess Lingnan must have thought that it was time to teach Concubine De a lesson. She ordered with a complacent look.
"I have something to discuss with Concubine De. Why don't you show Hui 'er around the palace, Princess Yu?"
Princess Lingnan was not afraid of Lin Mengya's rejection. After all, Concubine De was under her control.
"Ya 'er, bring Miss Shangguan around the palace. I … I'm fine. "
Concubine De lowered her eyes and smiled unnaturally.
Lin Mengya felt that it was time for her to act, so she bowed to Shangguan Hui and walked over alone, ignoring her.
"Go. Although Ya 'er has a bad temper, she's a good girl. Miss Shangguan, don't blame her."
Shangguan Hui's shy and pitiful smile was just right.
She turned around and followed Lin Mengya.
"Sister Concubine De, it's time to settle the score between us."
There was a cruel smile in Princess Lingnan's eyes.
"Okay."
A creepy smile flashed across Concubine De's lips.
The two of them went behind the flowering shrubs, not knowing what they were talking about.
Lin Mengya was walking in front, but she was paying attention to the movements behind her.
It seemed that Shangguan Hui was really as quiet as she looked.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and stopped by a pond in the Imperial Garden.
"It's said that Princess Yu is smart and farsighted. You're really not an ordinary person."
There was no Concubine De or Princess Lingnan around.
But Shangguan Hui felt that it was more and more real.
She didn't look like a virtuous fairy, but a little arrogance that only a smart woman had. Lin Mengya secretly raised her eyebrows.
She had said that there were not so many virtuous and virtuous women in this world.
"At the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, I still keep the mask that you gave me as a souvenir. Don't tell me you've forgotten about it so soon? "
Hearing her mention the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, Lin Mengya immediately thought of a woman wearing a mask.
She looked at Shangguan Hui's figure, and it seemed that she was exactly the same as the woman who spoke with a mask!
"It's you? It's you? "
Lin Mengya was a little surprised. Anyway, Shangguan Hui was a member of the Shangguan Family.
Shangguan Hui nodded with a smile and said,
"Yes, it's me. I want to help Princess, but unfortunately, my identity is a little sensitive. I have to be careful when the Empress is here. "
But Lin Mengya felt that it was not right to be so solicitous.
Especially for a smart woman like Shangguan Hui.
"But I don't know why Miss Shangguan would want to help me."
Shangguan Hui looked at Lin Mengya and suddenly blinked her eyes, and then her face turned red.
"It's a little hard to say. What if I say I did it for … the young general? "
The young general? Lin Mengya was stunned. Was she talking about her brother, Lin Nansheng?
"I … I'm just the daughter of an insignificant branch of the Shangguan Family. Although I'm the daughter of the legitimate wife, my family declined, and I became a tool for others. But since I saw the young general at a banquet three years ago, I felt that no man in the world could compare with him. "
Lin Mengya was really surprised by this answer.
God! Shangguan Hui liked her brother?
Although her brother was handsome and valiant, he was indeed a first-class man.
But Elder Sister Yue Ting risked her life, and Shangguan Hui fell in love with him at first sight.
This … Isn't this a little ridiculous?
But — Elder Sister Yue Ting's body was still warm, and she couldn't betray Elder Sister Yue Ting.
"Miss Shangguan, I appreciate your kindness on behalf of my brother. But as you know, my brother doesn't know about Miss Yue Ting yet. If he knows, what will happen? Even I can't predict. So I advise you not to put all your attention on my brother, Miss Shangguan. "
Lin Mengya was clear about kindness and hatred. Shangguan Hui had helped her, so she wouldn't bite the hand that fed her.
But all the people in the Lin Family were infatuated with love.
Her father was like that, and so was her brother.
What she feared most was that when Elder Sister Yue Ting passed away, her brother's heart would be buried with her.
Even if it was out of selfishness, she didn't want her brother to be alone for the rest of his life.
Of course, now was not the time to talk about this.
Shangguan Hui's smile dimmed a little.
But a second later, it turned into a confident smile.
"I know about the Yue Clan's Young Mistress. I also know that the Yue Clan's Young Mistress must have been framed."
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. Only a few people knew the inside story at that time.
How did Shangguan Hui know?
Shangguan Hui seemed to be a little excited, but she held Lin Mengya's hand, looked into her eyes, and said very sincerely.
"The Shangguan Family has colluded with King Ming for a long time. I've seen Miss Yue Ting several times. To be honest, she is a very rare girl. How could a girl who understands etiquette take the initiative to do that with a man? Not only you don't believe it, but I also don't believe it. Moreover, he is the second son of King Ming. Who does he think he is? How can he be compared with the young general? "
Lin Mengya didn't expect that Shangguan Hui could analyze it so thoroughly.
She didn't care whether she was pretending or sincere.
It was the first time that she heard these words from Elder Sister Yue Ting after her death. She was on Elder Sister Yue Ting's side.
"Although I don't know if what you said is true or not. But I also have a good impression of you. "
Lin Mengya held Shangguan Hui's hand back and said gently.
"But you know what kind of person my brother is. If you are destined to be together, I won't stop you. If not, I also hope that you can find the one you belong to. "
Shangguan Hui smiled happily, and her eyes were curved. Her smile was sweeter than honey.
Lin Mengya felt that even if Shangguan Hui didn't tell the truth, her love for her brother would not be fake.
"I know that you have a close relationship with Miss Yue. I'm really touched that you said so. I don't know what you're going to do, but I can guess a little. Don't worry, I'll cooperate with you. "
Shangguan Hui blinked her eyes and then stopped smiling.
She suddenly pulled Lin Mengya's hand and pretended to be pushed into the pool.
"Plop!" The sound of falling into the water made Lin Mengya a little stunned.
Looking at Shangguan Hui, who was pretending to be struggling and blinking at her, Lin Mengya instantly understood what this girl was doing.
She was really a person of action!
Since she was going to act, she had to act more realistically.
"Baisu, shout, shout as much as you can. Miss Shangguan fell into the water. By the way, the maid of the Shangguan family, go and find someone. Tell them that Princess Yu pushed Miss Shangguan into the water. "
The two people in the water and on the shore looked at each other.
Immediately, the trusted maids of the two families began to shout loudly.
"Thank you."
It was a low voice, but Shangguan Hui heard it clearly.
She raised her head and gave Lin Mengya a smile. Then she began to struggle again.
It seemed that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was very lively from the beginning.
"Look at you! What did Miss Shangguan do? How could you push Miss Shangguan into the water! "
In the side hall, a large group of people were watching Concubine De scolding Lin Mengya.
But Lin Mengya was stubborn and refused to admit her mistake.
Every time she looked at Shangguan Hui, she would stare at her fiercely.
