Hongyu gritted her teeth. No matter what Sumei had done, she was Sumei's elder sister after all.
If this matter was spread out and Long Tianhao took Sumei as his concubine, how would Sumei face the world in the future?
At this point, she could only harden her heart and let Lin Mengya down.
However, for some reason, even though Hongyu had been through many hardships, she still felt a little uneasy when facing Lin Mengya.
Maybe it was because they were not enemies before.
"You're right, Princess. It's my sister's fault. But it's a matter of mutual affection. As her elder sister, I only hope that you can help my sister. "
Lin Mengya was not surprised at all that Hongyu would say this.
Between losing and regaining familial love and insignificant kindness, if it were her, she would probably choose to help her own family.
But it was good. She didn't want to feel tied. Since Lin Mengya had cut off their relationship, she didn't need to be restrained.
"So it's a matter of mutual affection. I don't know how it is. Although our prince is dissolute, his room is not a place where anyone can enter as they please. Don't you know the rules? Even if Prince Yu wants to take a concubine, he has to get the princess's permission first. Our master has already come, how can he allow your sister to hide there? "
Baishao's shrewish character was most suitable to provoke the other party and say these words.
However, Lin Mengya couldn't help glancing at Long Tianhao.
Sure enough, she saw his confused face. Dissolute? Haha, maybe Long Tianhao had never been praised like this in his life.
"You're right, young lady. But my younger sister is shy by nature, so it's better for me to discuss these things with the princess."
His words immediately made the surrounding people who were watching the show curl their lips at the same time.
Shy by nature? An unmarried girl was so shameless that she even went into a man's room.
Now, she took off the fig leaf and flaunted that she was a girl from a good family. What a joke.
"Discuss? Well, according to the rules of our mansion, if you want to be a concubine, you must have a clean background. But once you're married, you have to sign an irrevocable contract. From now on, my life and death have nothing to do with your family. "
Lin Mengya had told him these words on the way.
Baishao's eyes were filled with disdain as she sneered at Hongyu.
This person really knew a person's face but not his heart. On the way here, he kept begging her and even fooled her master.
Who would have thought that she had actually raised an ingrate by her side?
"This —"
Hong Yu was a little hesitant. It was not that she did not understand. In fact, the so-called concubines were not much better than servants.
She was lucky to have met a husband who doted on her. At most, she would have a few more servants to serve her and some money to spend.
However, if one were to encounter a powerful madam of the first branch, the slightest carelessness could lead to a life and death battle.
She could tell that the girl in front of her was not easy to deal with, not to mention Lin Mengya.
Although Hong Yu's heart ached for her younger sister, she was well aware of her younger sister's condition.
If he agreed, he might make Lin Mengya unhappy in the future.
If they were killed in secret and dragged out to the mass grave, no one would bury them.
At the thought of that tragic scene, Hong Yu could not help but shiver.
No matter what, she could not let her younger sister end up like this.
At that moment, she made up her mind and forced a charming smile on her face. She looked in the direction of Long Tianhao.
"You're right, Miss. Although the princess is in charge of the mansion, it is also Prince Yu's home. I'm afraid that Prince Yu has the final say in the marriage. Don't you think so? " Baishao's anger rose in her heart. What a good Hong Yu!
First, her younger sister gave herself to the prince. Now, Hong Yu seduced the prince with this kind of despicable charm.
First, her younger sister gave herself to the prince. Now, Hong Yu seduced the prince with this kind of despicable charm.
What a shameless family. When she was about to fight back, she saw Lin Mengya's meaningful look.
She temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at her master for the next instruction.
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Lin Mengya nodded. No one expected that Lin Mengya did not scold her, but responded as if she was watching the show.
Lin Mengya turned her head and looked at Long Tianhao with a smile.
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
The development of the matter was a little subtle.
If it was according to the normal situation, Lin Mengya, as the legal wife, would at least show some disgust and disdain if Hongyu and Sumei returned kindness with ingratitude.
But now? Not only was Lin Mengya not anxious, but she calmly handed the ball to Long Tianhao.
After all, men all wanted to enjoy the happiness of having two wives.
Now she gave up the initiative, didn't it give men a chance to mess around?
Not only the onlookers, but also Hongyu had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She held her breath and waited for Long Tianhao's words.
"Oh, I'll listen to you."
Long Tianhao replied without thinking.
During this period, he did not stop to look at Hongyu and followed her into the room behind.
He followed Lin Mengya in silence, and his eyes were all occupied by Lin Mengya.
He was thinking about how to cure Lin Mengya's right shoulder.
He just turned a deaf ear to what Hongyu and Baishao said.
"You see, it's useless even if you do it yourself. Our Princess has the final say in this matter. "
Baishao felt very happy. Look at Hongyu's expression, she was as shocked as if she had swallowed a mouse.
In the mansion, everyone knew that the Princess was more powerful than the Prince.
Fortunately, the Prince didn't care about that little wench at all. Of course, her master had won this round by a landslide.
Hongyu did not expect that things would develop in this way.
She had seen many people. From the day she saw Long Tianhao, she knew that this man must be not simple.
But such an excellent man would never stop for a woman.
However, she never expected that the dignified Prince Yu did not care about his reputation. He only doted on Lin Mengya.
She was doomed. Even if Sumei really became Long Tianhao's concubine, she would not have a good life.
"Since you listen to me, I'll accept it on behalf of the Prince."
No one expected that Lin Mengya would allow Long Tianhao to take a concubine.
Even Long Tianhao was shocked. When he was about to refuse, he saw a flash of coldness in Lin Mengya's eyes.
Hiss … It seemed that his Princess had her own plan.
According to the current situation, if he didn't cooperate, he might not have a good ending.
At the moment, he could only pretend to be a lecher.
"But …"
Lin Mengya changed the topic, and there was no smile on her face.
"I'm the princess, and she's the concubine. From now on, she's no different from the servants in our mansion. These days, it's inconvenient for me to move around, so she has to serve me. As for the Prince, she doesn't need to serve him for the time being. Also, from now on, you have to leave Prince Shen's Mansion. From now on, Sumei will have nothing to do with your family. Baishao, give her 20 taels of silver, and we'll buy her. "
Absolutely dangerous! Hongyu was sweating profusely in an instant.
That pair of eyes, the pair of eyes that had always shone with gentleness on the road, was now sealed in ice.
She could only see disdain and indifference.
At this moment, she could only suffer in silence. She had something to say, but she couldn't.
If she went back on her word, Sumei's dream would be ruined, and their lives would be in danger.
It was all her fault. She had been blinded by greed for a moment. How could she forget that Lin Mengya had such a prominent identity?
She tasted bitterness in her mouth, but this was the bitter wine she brewed, and she had to drink it.
"Yes. Here are 20 taels of silver, take it, I won't give it to you. "
Baishao immediately took out 20 taels of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Hongyu's hand.
Now, everything was settled.
"I have something to do, so I can't accompany you anymore. It's Sumei's turn to keep watch in my porch tonight, and there's no need for dinner. Ask her to pack up and go to the middle courtyard. "
After Lin Mengya gave her instructions casually, she led Baishao and Long Tianhao back.
Looking at the 20 taels of silver in her hand, Hongyu was full of regret.
She looked up and saw Long Tianhao turning away. She had no choice but to kneel down in front of Long Tianhao.
"Prince Yu, I only have one younger sister. I hope … I hope you can treat her well and spare her … spare her life."
She would rather be a merchant's wife than a concubine.
From the first day they entered the profession, there was a teacher, Hua Niang. Every day, these little girls would be warned by their teachers.
She didn't expect that in the end, she would still indirectly push her sister into the fire pit for the sake of the little bit of selfishness in her heart.
But Long Tianhao did not agree, nor did he give her any promise. He did not even stop, and followed Lin Mengya out of the backyard.
Hong Yu's heart sank. She knew that it was all over this time.
The onlookers dispersed, and there was no one to make a fuss. Soon, Hongyu was left sitting on the ground in the backyard, looking at the 20 taels of silver in a daze.
She smiled bitterly. In the end, she and her sister could not escape the fate of being sold.
"Thank you so much, Sister. You're the best, even Princess Yu had to agree to your request. "
Inside the house, Sumei suddenly rushed out of the house with a face full of joy.
She pulled her sister up from the ground, carefully smoothed her sister's clothes, and flicked away the dust.
This was the first time that Sumei called her sister so intimately after they reunited.
Hongyu felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. It was not only because they were going to be separated forever from now on.
Perhaps it was more because she felt sad for herself.
"Keep the money, maybe it will come in handy in the future."
