"In fact, Qin 'er is destined to meet you. She has been with me since she was a child. She is Yu 'er's childhood sweetheart. Unexpectedly, people in the mansion are like this. There is a rumor that Ruqin and Yu 'er have an affair. It's outrageous. "
Concubine De looked regretful. She took the tea on the table and took a sip.
Since Concubine De had pointed it out, Lin Mengya couldn't play dumb. She had to follow Concubine De's words.
"Mother, you're right. I will strictly discipline the people in the mansion. I won't let the rumors damage Ruqin's reputation."
Jiang Ruqin cried as soon as Lin Mengya finished her words.
"Aunt, I don't want to live anymore. As a girl, my reputation is more important than my life. Now, there are so many rumors in the mansion. What should I do? "
Now Jiang Ruqin used her trump card. Lin Mengya understood the meaning of this drama.
The so-called gossip was that Jiang Ruqin's chastity had been ruined by Long Tianhao.
Although the rice had not been cooked yet, they had purposely made it seem like Long Tianhao and Jiang Ruqin had been intimate with each other.
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. How could a woman who could seduce men in a see-through dress care about her reputation?
Obviously, Long Tianhao didn't take the bait, so they wanted to find a breakthrough from her side.
Concubine De, Concubine De, in order to push her niece to her son's bed, she really took great pains.
"Cousin Ruqin, don't be so suicidal. If you feel that your reputation has been damaged, Jingyu Nunnery outside the city is not bad. The owner of the nunnery is good and decent. Cousin Ruqin, I'm sorry. Besides, although I'm in charge of this family, some things are decided by the Prince. The Prince is the master of this family. Cousin Ruqin, you can talk to the Prince if you have any problems. "
Lin Mengya spoke very clearly with her beautiful mouth and white teeth.
If she wanted to enter the Prince's Mansion, she had to get Long Tianhao's approval.
Otherwise, there was no way.
"Cousin-in-law, are you really not willing to help me?"
After the sad drama, Jiang Ruqin finally showed her fangs.
He looked at Lin Mengya with a hideous look, as if he would pounce on her and eat her alive at any time.
"Whether I'm willing to help you or not depends on His Highness. Cousin, I advise you to behave yourself. "
Lin Mengya was not an honest girl. Seeing Jiang Ruqin's reaction, the smile on her face turned cold.
"Mengya, you seemed to have gone out for the whole day today. What did you do? Can you tell me?"
Concubine De's sudden words made the atmosphere a little tense.
He was shocked. "Has Concubine De found out about Sanjue Hall?"
Lin Mengya kept her cool and waited for Concubine De to make her move.
"As the Princess, it's a big taboo for me to go out as I please. This consort also heard that you spent an entire day in some Restaurant Ruyi. Tell me, how improper is that? "
The high-sounding reason was just an excuse to force Lin Mengya to give in.
Zhang Xuan smiled. It seemed that the secret of the Three Wonders Hall hadn't been discovered yet.
"Restaurant Ruyi is a famous restaurant in the capital city. I don't think it's inappropriate for me to go there."
Not to mention her, even some of the ladies in the capital city would drink tea and chat in Restaurant Ruyi.
Concubine De was just making things up.
"Really? But why do I hear that you have an ambiguous relationship with the boss of Restaurant Ruyi? Tell me, the boss is called Moran, right? What an elegant name. It's no wonder that it can win your favor. "
Lin Mengya was sure that Concubine De was just making groundless accusations.
"That's right. The two bosses are called Moran and Qingli. I'm on good terms with them, but it's not an ambiguous relationship. If you're worried, you can send someone to investigate. "
Concubine De could do nothing about Lin Mengya's indifferent attitude.
Moreover, they didn't have any evidence. They just wanted to trick her.
"Cousin-in-law, you can't say that. Even if there's nothing between you and the boss, my cousin will be embarrassed if the news gets out. With his pride, how could he allow his wife to spread such rumors of infidelity? "
Jiang Ruqin stood up from the ground and her eyes were filled with coldness. Lin Mengya was a poisonous snake. How could she expect her to keep her fangs and become an obedient rabbit?
"If you want to spread rumors about me, go ahead. But there's nothing you can do if the prince doesn't believe it. Cousin Ruqin, I respect you as a guest, so it's not convenient for me to make some things clear. But if Cousin Ruqin thinks that I'm easy to bully, it's my fault. "
Although Lin Mengya was sitting there, her imposing manner did not diminish.
Both Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin were testing her patience.
Now that they had shed all pretense of cordiality, she didn't have to worry so much.
She circled around and said coldly,
"If you want to enter Prince Yu's Mansion, you can come in a small sedan. Whether you become a concubine or a concubine, you will always be under me. As long as I'm in Prince Yu's Mansion, there's no way I can marry you legally. Don't think that you can enter Prince Yu's Mansion just because you have an absurd scandal with the prince. You have no right to climb into Long Tianhao's bed! "
Lin Mengya's words made all the people in the room angry.
What did she mean by no one could climb into Long Tianhao's bed? She said it so crudely. Even Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin were stunned for a moment.
"You …"
After all, Jiang Ruqin was an unmarried girl. She blushed at her bold words, but she could only stare at Lin Mengya with her eyes wide open.
"It's so late. Why hasn't mother gone to bed?"
At this moment, Long Tianhao's voice sounded and everyone looked at the door.
Long Tianhao, who was tall and slender, only wore a white robe today.
There was a golden four-clawed dragon python on it, which made him look more noble.
On his extraordinarily handsome face, for some reason, there was a slight smile on it.
Everyone was calculating in their hearts how much he had heard just now.
"Cousin, you're here at the right time. I have something to tell you."
Jiang Ruqin's eyes lit up and she wanted to go up to him to complain.
Unexpectedly, Long Tianhao waved her away and walked straight up to Lin Mengya.
"I asked you to book a table at Restaurant Ruyi today. Why did you come back after a day's work? Are you tired?"
His tone was gentle and his deep voice was like wine, so smooth that it was intoxicating.
He held up Lin Mengya's snow-white hands and hid them in his big palm. They were warm and dry.
"Mother, I've grown up. You should enjoy the rest of your life. As for the princess and I, we naturally treat each other with respect. Now, it's not the time for outsiders to interfere. Please forgive us, mother. Let's go back. It's so late. Even if we don't sleep, you should go to bed. "
Long Tianhao and Concubine De looked at each other. There was no longer any pain or struggle in his long and narrow eyes.
It was just cold respect. Concubine De felt cold for no reason.
Could it be that even she could not influence Yu 'er anymore?
In her heart, she hated Lin Mengya even more.
What kind of bewitching potion had this demoness fed Yu 'er? Yu' er did not even listen to her, his mother's words.
"Let's go."
His soft voice was only for the woman in front of him.
Looking at her mouth slightly open and the silly look on her face, Long Tianhao could not help but feel that she was cute.
Feeling playful, he lifted Lin Mengya up in his arms.
"Sigh! What are you doing? "
She struggled a little, but her eyes met his dark, starry eyes.
"Shh, don't move."
It was rare to see her so shy, and Long Tianhao found it very refreshing.
"Yu 'er! How dare you! "
Concubine De was furious to be slapped in the face by her own son.
He slammed the table heavily, and the atmosphere became even more solemn.
"Mother, when I was forced to marry Mengya, didn't you agree to it?"
He turned around and looked into his mother's eyes.
He was fearless, but his heart ached.
In the past, he also thought that everything his mother did was for his own sake.
But now, he calmed down and realized that when the Empress forced him to marry Lin Mengya, his mother was not powerless.
But his mother was more afraid that she would completely lose power in the Imperial Palace, and no one would be able to take care of her family.
Even Jiang Ruqin was the same. For the sake of the Jiang Family, his mother did not care about her previous mistakes, but made things difficult for Lin Mengya and wanted him to marry Ruqin.
Could it be that in his mother's heart, he was just a chess piece that could be manipulated by others?
"But she … she's unchaste and unclean. She doesn't deserve to be your wife!"
Concubine De's words made Long Tianhao's heart colder.
"Someone else is unchaste and unclean, right? I believe in Mengya, I believe in what she has done, and I also believe in her loyalty to me. Mother, I respect you, but I don't want you to slander innocent people. If you insist, don't blame me for being unfilial. "
Nestled in Long Tianhao's arms, Lin Mengya widened her beautiful eyes.
She looked at Long Tianhao's firm chin in disbelief. God, did she hear it wrong?
She could not hide the throbbing in her heart.
She had always thought that she was fighting alone, but she did not expect that the strongest ally was Long Tianhao.
Among his closest relatives and his childhood sweetheart cousin, he chose to believe in her, who always made trouble for him.
It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.
He held Lin Mengya in his arms and walked out of the Art Courtyard firmly.
Outside the door, the night was cold, but Lin Mengya felt warm in her heart.
He put down the girl in his arms, and his strong face showed a little fatigue.
"I'm sorry to have made you suffer."
Long Tianhao said with an apologetic voice.
She shook her head. It was not important. As long as he could believe in her, everything else was not important.
"You … why do you believe in me?"
She really wanted to know why Long Tianhao was so determined to stand by her side.
