Lin Mengya came back to her senses at the sound of her maidservants crying.
Lin Mengya frowned when she saw the three maidservants crying. There was no fear in her eyes.
"Master, please don't put yourself in a difficult position because of me. I, Baizhi, am unlucky. I don't have the fate to serve by Master's side. I'm willing to die to prove my innocence. Please don't drag Miss Lin into this. "
Baizhi was crying her eyes out. Who wouldn't be afraid of death?
But in order not to be a burden to Miss Lin, she had to use her death to clear her name.
"Silly girl, death is like an extinguished lamp. What can you do even if you prove your innocence? Mother, this is all because of these fifty taels of silver. Although Baizhi is only a maidservant, she is still a human being. Therefore, I hope that you can consider this carefully and not accuse my maidservant so easily. "
Lin Mengya's words were very pertinent.
Concubine De thought for a while and looked at Yun Ruo.
The maidservant, who had been bowing her head respectfully, raised her head and nodded at her.
She probably thought that Lin Mengya could not turn the tables no matter what. Concubine De agreed with her.
"Alright, since Princess Yu has said so, I'll give Baizhi a chance to defend herself. Guards, take her into the woodshed and don't let anyone near her. Mengya, I'll give you three days. If you can't find any evidence, you can't do as you wish. "
Concubine De was still as noble as before, but the way she looked at Lin Mengya was as vicious as a poisonous snake.
Lin Mengya watched as Baizhi was taken away and bowed to thank Concubine De for her kindness.
"I'm tired too. Let's call it a day. Jingyue, help me back to my room. "
Concubine De glanced coldly at her son and daughter-in-law. With Jingyue's help, she got up and went back to her room.
The crowd followed behind her in a majestic manner. It was truly awe-inspiring.
However, Baishao, who used to be very close to her, chose to stay silent and followed behind Concubine De.
"Master!"
Without anyone stopping them, Baisu and Baiji ran to Lin Mengya's side in tears.
"It's okay, don't cry. Let's talk in Liuxin Courtyard."
This was the Art Courtyard and Concubine De's spies were everywhere. Even if she was full of questions, she had to get her own territory first.
"Your Highness, do you want to go with me?"
From the moment when Long Tianhao stood beside her, she felt warm in her heart.
She had thought that he would stand firmly by his mother's side between her and Concubine De.
She didn't expect that the one he was protecting was her.
Long Tianhao shook his head. He had more important things to do. Moreover, the intimate words of a girl like them could not be said to a man like him.
"Be careful. If anything happens, ask Baisu to look for me in Qinwu Courtyard."
His mother's behavior today was too abnormal. He had no choice but to reconsider some things.
After leaving the Art Courtyard, the two of them returned to their respective residences.
They didn't say a word on the way back to Liuxin Courtyard. They found that the courtyard was in a mess.
The old maids were tidying up everything in the courtyard, trembling with fear. The flowers and plants were trampled, and the tables and chairs were overturned.
Apart from her room, which was still intact, the rest of the rooms were more or less damaged.
Lin Mengya ordered with a cold face, "Let's put up with this for a few days.
"Everyone, please bear with it for a few days. After I rescue Baizhi, I will naturally seek justice for everyone. Baishao … no, Baiji, go and count the losses in our courtyard. "
This was not a search, it was a raid!
Usually, the people around Concubine De kept quiet. It turned out that they were all powerful people!
"Lass, in my opinion, why don't I rescue Baizhi first? The woodshed in the prince's mansion is not a problem for me. "
Qinghu's brows were also stained with a hint of hostility.
Without Lin Mengya's instructions, he could not easily attack the people in the prince's mansion.
Therefore, when Baizhi was taken away, he could only protect her secretly.
But those people should not have destroyed all the rare flowers and plants that he gave to Lin Mengya.
"Sister, don't be afraid of them. I don't care about Concubine De. "
Xiaoyu cared more about the plants and trees in the courtyard than Qinghu, especially when he saw that Baizhi was almost tortured into confessing. He almost couldn't help but attack.
But he was like Qinghu. Without Lin Mengya's permission, he would not do anything.
"Do you think it's that simple? What they've been scheming is just to deal with me. Unfortunately, I'm not easy to deal with, so they want to get rid of the people around me. "
Sitting in the chair in the main hall, Lin Mengya's face was very cold.
In fact, until now, she still didn't understand why Concubine De's temperament changed so much just by entering the palace.
Was it really like what she had guessed?
But now that she thought about it, there were some clues.
But she didn't dare to say it because she didn't have any solid evidence.
"Master, it's all my fault. If I had been on guard against Baishao, she … she wouldn't have betrayed me for glory! "
Baiji's face turned pale and she knelt in front of Lin Mengya, looking guilty.
She had long sensed that there was something wrong with Baishao, but she didn't guard against her because they were sisters.
But she didn't expect that the biggest contributor to Concubine De's revolt was her good sister.
Really, one couldn't judge a book by its cover.
"Get up, Baizhi has been caught. It's not the time for us to fight among ourselves. "
Lin Mengya helped Baiji up from the ground.
Actually, Baiji couldn't be blamed. After all, they were friends. Moreover, it was Lin Mengya who repeatedly said that she trusted Baishao, which put Baizhi in a difficult position today.
"Master, Baizhi's situation is really unusual. Do you have any way to save her?"
Baisu's eyes also turned red. She looked at Lin Mengya with a bit of expectation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya smiled mysteriously, and the helpless look on her face suddenly disappeared.
"It's not that easy to catch the people in my courtyard. Don't worry, Baizhi will definitely come back to you. My little courtyard can't do without anyone. "
Seeing Lin Mengya's smile, everyone felt as if a big stone had been lifted from their hearts.
Their master was so smart, so naturally she would be foolproof.
"Baisu, Qinghu, both of you are experts in hiding in the courtyard. Apart from our own people, no one else knows about it. Therefore, I would like to invite the two of you to guard Baizhi throughout the night. Do not let anything happen to her. Is that okay? "
Baisu and Qinghu immediately nodded, especially Qinghu, who gave her a coquettish wink.
This lass, who had pulled herself together, was not an ordinary person.
Lin Mengya was afraid that those people's wishful thinking would be ruined by this lass, and they wouldn't even have an abacus.
"Baiji, don't reveal anything to anyone. No matter who comes to find out, be it good or bad, you have to brush them off. If you really can't avoid it, just cry, understand? "
Baiji immediately nodded. She had not learned anything else from being by her master's side, but her acting skills were top-notch.
She didn't even need to put on makeup to perform on stage.
"Lass, we're all busy. What are you doing?"
Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya curiously. This lass had never been idle.
Lin Mengya casually picked up a Ding kiln teacup, raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly.
"Me? Of course I'm venting my anger by smashing things. "
With a wave of her hand, the valuable teacup shattered into pieces right in front of them.
Good heavens, Qinghu felt a pang of pain.
However, the money he had earned was enough for this lass to smash things for 30 to 50 years. So it didn't matter if she did it once in a while!
"You damned servant, how dare you betray me! See if I don't skin you alive! "
Her tone was full of resentment and viciousness.
However, if it were not for Lin Mengya's smiling face, no one would have thought that it was just an act.
Seeing their master's funny expression, the two maidservants immediately stopped crying and laughed.
"Hey, Master, that's too expensive. Change to something else."
Lin Mengya reminded Lin Mengya in a low voice. The two maidservants immediately understood what Lin Mengya meant.
"Okay, then I'll smash something cheap."
She turned around, picked up an exquisite vase and threw it on the ground forcefully. It was so loud that even the people in the courtyard were alarmed.
"What a sweet talker! I've treated her well, but she treated me like this! What's the big deal about a dead servant? I'll go to the broker house tomorrow to buy a few more! But you caught her in my courtyard. Isn't this a slap in my face? "
Lin Mengya skillfully released a series of swearing noblewomen, but her eyes were looking around for the most cost-effective victim.
Finally, she saw the bronze mirror on the dressing table. An idea came to her mind. She rushed over and stuffed the expensive jewelry into the hands of the two maidservants.
"Clang!" A loud noise startled the people outside.
"Who am I? I'm the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Marquis Zhennan! What kind of dirty water do they have to pour on me?! " Tomorrow, I'll ask my father to report them and they'll have to bear the consequences! "
Baiji covered her mouth and laughed, but still cooperated and said,
"Master, it's really not worth it. But what can you do tomorrow? In my opinion, why don't you let Baizhi die? Then we can have some peace, right? "
Lin Mengya's lips curled up into a smile.
She was indeed the maidservant she taught. She was smart and sensible.
