The boy in front of her had bright eyes and a pair of cat eyes, which were very cute. His delicate eyebrows and eyes looked a little pitiful.
His long wet hair was draped behind his head, which made his palm-sized face as white as jade.
Although he was a boy, he had a kind of androgynous charm. This fellow was simply a living little demon!
"Sister … Is Zhongyu very ugly?" Lin Zhongyu blinked his cat eyes and asked carefully.
Just now, those sisters who gave him a bath also looked at him in the same way. Now, even Sister Princess was looking at him motionlessly. Was he really too ugly?
"Ugly? No, no, Zhongyu, come and sit beside me. "She didn't expect that a little boy who was randomly picked up on the street could be so stunningly beautiful.
In the future, Prince Yu's Mansion would be very good-looking!
Lin Zhongyu sat beside Lin Mengya obediently and lowered his head cautiously, but he didn't dare to look at Sister Princess.
"Our Zhongyu will be the most handsome boy in the future. Even Prince Yu will be much better than him. " Lin Mengya took a cloth towel and carefully dried the boy's hair. She found that she actually missed the scene when she took care of other brothers and sisters in the orphanage.
At that time, everything was so simple and beautiful, unlike now, where she had to be careful with every step to ensure her own safety.
"Sister Princess, can Zhongyu really live with you in the future?" He was like a lonely cub looking at his last glimmer of hope. How could Lin Mengya say no to such a little boy?
She nodded and held him in her arms. This was the last memory she had of her past life.
"Don't worry, I will never leave you." That was because she would never be able to let go of her past. Even if, after being tempered by time, all that was left of her was loneliness, blurry, and pale, her heart would always remember the earliest years of her life.
In the study, Long Tianhao sat behind the mahogany desk, listening to the report of his subordinate.
He didn't expect that so many things would happen after he left. This woman was really restless.
"In the end, the Princess issued a gag order. I don't know what she said to Qiu Ming, Zhang Wu, Wang Yu, and Xin Yun, but they kept their mouths shut about what happened in the teahouse. This subordinate tried to find out everything, but to no avail. If Master wants to know, then this subordinate will immediately call the four of them over."
But Long Tianhao shook his head and motioned for Lin Kui to leave.
When Long Tianhao was alone in the study, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Night, have you investigated what's going on?" Night, who was dressed in black, knelt on the ground. He was the Envoy of Night who always hid in the shadows.
His pale face was hidden behind a silver mask all year round. No one knew of his existence, and no one knew his name.
"Master, the Willow Gang is a group of lackeys raised by the Crown Prince Society. Usually, they do some small things like blackmailing and stealing. No other use has been found. I don't know how they met the Princess's carriage. "
The Crown Prince's clique. Long Tianhao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that it was related to the Crown Prince Society.
"What else?"
"I have checked the boy brought back by the Princess. There is no problem with him. He is just a boy who was abducted."
Lin Kui had just reported that Lin Mengya brought back a boy from the street.
However, he didn't expect that this little girl, who couldn't even protect herself, had compassion for a strange boy.
"By the way, what did the Princess do in the teahouse? Why did the four guards refuse to say anything?"
After a moment of silence, Night told Long Tianhao what the Princess had done in a strange tone.
"I have checked the three guards. One of them had dislocated limbs and would probably become a disabled person even if they were reconnected. The other one's internal organs were ruptured and his life was in danger. The last one might not be able to have sex."
Long Tianhao looked at Night, and there was a moment of shock in his long and narrow eyes.
"You mean, all of them were done by the Princess herself?" Seeing Night nodding, Long Tianhao's expression suddenly became very strange.
How could this be what a woman would do?
"I see. You can leave now." Night nodded and disappeared from the study in the blink of an eye.
Long Tianhao looked out of the window at the swaying bamboo forest. There was a trace of doubt in his mind.
What kind of person was Lin Mengya?
She could be said to be ruthless, but she could have compassion for a strange boy.
She could be said to be soft-hearted, but she could do this kind of thing, which was not what an ordinary woman would do.
However, if one were to say that she was scheming, then her clear eyes would never avoid looking at him.
Which one was the real Lin Mengya?
"Your Highness, someone outside with the Princess's seal is asking to see you." Outside the study, a servant's voice interrupted his contemplation.
"Come in."
"Yes."
He didn't know what this girl had done this time.
"Miss, Ruyue also wants to sleep with you, okay?" In the Qinglan Courtyard, Ruyue was acting coquettishly to her miss.
According to the rules of the Prince's Mansion, she could barely be regarded as a second-class maid now. The monthly salary was not important, but she had to live in the servant's room, which really troubled her.
Lin Mengya really couldn't persuade her, but —
Every night, she and Long Tianhao had to shake the bed hard to fall asleep. If they were found by Ruyue and it was spread out, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble?
"Well, I'll let you come over later, okay? Just bear it for a while." This girl's pestering skill was comparable to that of Su Qing, her only friend in modern times.
Lin Zhongyu moved a small stool and sat beside Lin Mengya, looking at the Princess and Ruyue with a smile.
"Prince Yu has arrived —" Suddenly, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, which startled everyone in the room.
Only Lin Mengya stood up calmly. It was nothing. Anyway, she often saw it every day. Now, she was not as nervous as before.
"Greetings to the Prince." All the people in the room bowed to salute, only Lin Mengya slightly tilted her face and body. The ancient people were really troublesome. They always saluted, even at home.
"Well, in the future, you can avoid these empty salutes. Lin Mengya, come over and have a look. What is this? "Long Tianhao frowned, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
Lin Mengya looked at it and found that it was her official seal and the IOU.
Unfortunately, she didn't seem to repent at all, which made Long Tianhao want to break her head and see what she was thinking!
"Explain to me, what's the matter with this IOU? I don't know when my Prince Yu's Mansion is so poor that we don't even have this little cash! "
Long Tianhao almost vomited. Just now, Shopkeeper Wan of the Myriad Drug Pavilion came to the Prince Yu's Mansion with tears and snot.
He had thought that the other party was being unreasonable until Shopkeeper Wan took out the official seal of the princess. He had no choice but to believe it.
God knew how much he wanted to strangle this shameful woman at that time!
"There's nothing to explain. I need medicinal herbs to detoxify myself. I don't have any money on me, so I wrote an IOU and used my most valuable things as collateral." Lin Mengya spread out her hands, looking indomitable. She didn't feel guilty at all.
"You …" He really wanted to break her slender white neck with his big hands. However, Long Tianyu suppressed his anger again and again. He was so angry that he laughed and pressed the clear promissory note in front of her.
"In that case, why did you sign off with my name?" It was only a few hundred taels of silver, but Long Tianhao's name was on it. If this matter was spread out, wouldn't he be the laughing stock of others?
"Oh, this!" Lin Mengya took the IOU and looked at Lu Liancheng innocently.
"But if I wrote my name, people wouldn't know who I am! Besides, I thought that if I took it to the pawnshop, it would be a little troublesome. So I put my jade ring seal in the pawnshop. "
Lin Mengya blinked her big innocent eyes, but she was confident and her back was very strong.
All of a sudden, Long Tianhao felt that this head in front of him was such an eyesore.
Long Tianhao, who was so angry that he almost went berserk, tried hard to control his emotions.
If others knew that he couldn't control himself and died of anger because of his Princess, he was afraid that it would be more shameful.
"Aunt Jinyue, you will go to the Palace to get the monthly salary of the Princess tomorrow." The Ministry of Internal Affairs had already allocated the monthly salary to Lin Mengya, but it was not the day to pay the monthly salary, so naturally she didn't get it.
But who knew that she would go out on credit! And it was in his name!
"But Your Highness, I need to collect medicinal materials, and the monthly salary is —" Lin Mengya was insatiable, with a playful smile and looked at the Prince who was livid.
"The monthly salary of the Princess will be doubled, and 30,000 taels of silver will be allocated to the Princess." Long Tianhao's voice was almost squeezed out from his teeth.
Lin Mengya immediately smiled and her eyes curved. She almost jumped up and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"
God, these were all real gold and silver, which was totally different from the paper money which was becoming less and less valuable due to the inflation.
This time, she was rich!
Looking at the cunning smile on her face, Long Tianhao had a feeling that he had been tricked.
From buying medicine on credit, to leaving the official seal, and finally being found by the creditor, it seemed that this series of actions was designed by the little girl in front of him.
There was a little displeasure in his heart. If she was short of money, she could ask him for it. Why did she make such a big detour?
He got up and left without looking back. He finally understood that if he didn't want to be annoyed by her, he had to stay as far away from her as possible!
"Your Highness, don't you want to stay a little longer?" Lin Mengya, who was immersed in her silver dream, stood at the door with the whole family in the room to see off the Prince.
