The middle-aged woman's anger was not appeased by the woman's explanation.
Instead, she ordered her subordinates even more fiercely.
"Drag this bitch back for me! If you let her escape again, I'll make you suffer together with her! "
With just a few words, the lady's unreasonableness made everyone frown.
Seeing that she was about to be caught again, the woman looked around in panic and finally fixed her eyes on Lin Mengya.
"Madam!"
She kept struggling. Her red and swollen face and the sorry state of her body made people feel pity for her.
"Please, save me. I don't want to die!"
She tried to reach out to Lin Mengya, but Lin Mengya had no intention of interfering.
Just as she was being held by the two strong servants, the hope in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she was about to give up struggling, she heard the madam speak.
"Wait."
Everyone was stunned.
Just a moment ago, Lin Mengya was looking on coldly from the side.
Why did he step forward at this moment?
But the woman seemed to see the hope of survival and looked at Lin Mengya eagerly.
Lin Mengya separated the crowd and walked up to the woman.
"You guys, what's going on?"
The madam gave the servant a look, and the servant immediately covered the woman's mouth, causing her to anxiously let out 'wu wu' sounds.
The madam had seen Lin Mengya before. Although she was a little displeased, she said politely, "My maid is not sensible and has tainted the eyes of the Temple Master's wife."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows.
It was true that she did not want to get involved in other people's family affairs.
But the woman happened to be the one she wanted to stay, and things happened so coincidentally.
It was a good opportunity for her to see what they were up to.
She maintained a polite smile on her face.
"Since it's your family affairs, I shouldn't be involved. But there are so many people here, and your fight just now has disrupted the order. For everyone's convenience, please retreat to the back first. You can leave after everyone has left. "
The madam's face immediately darkened, but she could not resist.
Lin Mengya looked at the woman who was being dragged away, and there was some judgment in her eyes.
"Keep an eye on them."
"Yes."
Cai Ru quietly ordered people to do it.
Lin Mengya continued to socialize with the ladies of each family. It was not until after lunch that she was free.
"Master, they don't seem to be doing anything unusual." Cai Ru's report was within her expectations.
Logically speaking, the mastermind behind the old nanny and the others was very meticulous. How could they allow a fish to escape the net?
Unless he did it on purpose.
"Let's go and take a look."
In an inconspicuous corner, the madam was anxiously scolding the concubine in the carriage.
When he saw Lin Mengya, he went up to her reluctantly.
"Aiyo, you're finally here. When will we be able to leave? "
She couldn't wait to leave such a troublesome place.
Lin Mengya looked at her and then at the tightly shut carriage.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. You can leave now. But you're all women, and I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient on the way, so I'd like to send someone to escort you. "
The madam immediately beamed with joy.
"As expected of the Hall Master's wife. You've thought things through thoroughly. Alas, to tell you the truth, my husband and master have been frightened these past few days.
They're not feeling well. I'm also busy going back to deal with some affairs so that I can bring them back safely. "
She said it in a dignified manner, but in fact, she was taking advantage of her husband's illness to get rid of his favored concubine.
Although Lin Mengya saw through her trick, she didn't ask much and just ordered someone to send them away.
However, the people inside were getting anxious. They knocked on the carriage with a "dong dong dong" sound.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes.
The madam's face instantly darkened and she ordered someone to open the door.
"Little bitch, you'd better behave yourself!"
Unexpectedly, the person inside took this opportunity to hit the madam, who couldn't dodge in time, under her body.
"Oh, my God! Someone come and take her away! "
The madam screamed, and the concubine took the opportunity to run to Lin Mengya, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to her.
"Madam, I beg you, please save me!"
Before she could respond, the madam's servant rushed over.
"How dare you!"
Baisu shouted angrily and stopped the servant.
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of my master?"
The servants looked at each other.
All along, Lin Mengya had been indifferent, so they thought it would be the same this time.
Unexpectedly, she asked someone to help the concubine up.
"Madam, it's not that I want to be nosy, but if I don't do anything, I'm afraid someone will die."
She didn't seem to be very serious.
But since she had said so, she wouldn't allow others to continue making trouble.
The madam gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that I don't want to give you face, but this woman, she had an affair and disrespected me. Even my husband fell ill because of her. I can't forgive her! "
But Lin Mengya just smiled coldly and said, "I understand. But this thing happened in my Divine Hall, and if it gets out, it will seem that my Divine Hall is hiding evil. So I want to temporarily detain her, and after the matter is investigated, I will hand her over to you. What do you think? "
Since she had said so, the madam had to accept it even if she was unwilling.
"Take her away first," Lin Mengya said coldly.
She ordered coldly. Then, she turned around and saw Baili Wuchen, who was not far away.
He frowned and stood there for a long time.
Seeing that she was done with her work, he walked over.
"Madam."
Baili Wuchen's attitude was the same, but Lin Mengya felt that something was wrong with him.
She thought that he was not an outsider, so she asked directly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Nothing."
Baili Wuchen lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he asked softly, "Who is that woman?"
She knew that Baili Wuchen had been as busy as Yu recently.
If she told Baili Wuchen what Jun Wuzhao had told her, he would definitely help her with the investigation, given his character.
She didn't want them to have more work because of her, so she just said it was a small matter.
Baili Wuchen looked at her and hesitated for a while before he said, "Madam, you're doing things differently."
"Oh? How so? "
"If you saw this scene before, you would have rushed over immediately."
She sensed the hidden meaning in Baili Wuchen's words and was quite surprised.
"Do you think I'm too cold and heartless?"
Baili Wuchen shook his head and looked sincere.
"That's not what I meant.
I just feel that you're not as straightforward as you used to be. "
He seemed to be sighing and feeling sorry for her.
Lin Mengya suddenly felt wronged.
"Madam, maybe it's not appropriate for me to say this. But I think the biggest difference between you and those people is that you have a kind heart. "
Lin Mengya did not expect that Baili Wuchen would say such words.
She couldn't help but sneer, "I have my reasons."
But Baili Wuchen was determined to be a bad guy to the end.
He said, "His Highness is in a different position now. As someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, you should care about the world. I really don't want to see you become a greedy person — "
"Shut up!"
Baisu shouted coldly, and her sword was already on Baili Wuchen's neck.
Baili Wuchen was stunned, and then he said helplessly, "Good advice is unpleasant to the ear. Madam, can't you even tolerate other people's voices now?"
Baisu was about to teach this ignorant guy a lesson, but Lin Mengya stopped her calmly.
"Let him go, Baisu."
"Master!" Baisu couldn't tolerate anyone slandering her.
But she had to obey Lin Mengya's order.
"Baili Wuchen, you've never really understood me. So I won't take what you said as an offense. "
Her attitude was extremely calm.
However, her clenched fists revealed her true emotions.
She turned around, and only her profile could be seen.
"I've never been a good person. I've only done things that go against my conscience. I'm not so great that I can't care about the world. You can disobey me, but don't try to tell me what to do. "
Baili Wuchen was a little angry.
"What about His Highness? Have you ever thought about His Highness before you do anything? Do you know that people in the world say that His Highness killed his own family for power? If they know that you, as his wife, are so cold and heartless, how will they talk about him? "
Lin Mengya pursed her lips.
"You don't have to worry about this!"
She rejected him coldly, and then left with her people.
Baili Wuchen stood there, and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.
"No, I can't let her go on like this."
He took a deep look at Lin Mengya, and then left with a heavy heart.
"Master, what he said was nonsense. Please don't take it to heart!"
Baisu kept trying to persuade her along the way.
Actually, she was not angry.
Over the years, she had heard accusations and slanders about her countless times.
However, even though Baili Wuchen was on good terms with her, he still misunderstood her. Did she really go too far?
"Alright, I'm fine."
She let out a deep breath.
It was no wonder that Baili Wuchen was so sensitive. After all, it was a critical time, and she should be more careful.
While they were talking, Cai Ru came to report.
"She has been settled. When will you go and have a look, Master?"
In fact, she had been secretly testing her with the system.
Just like the old nanny, she didn't detect any poison in the woman's body.
Therefore, she wasn't sure if the other party was really in cahoots with the madman.
Did she have to wait until she showed signs of going crazy to get the answer?
