There was a hint of helplessness in Lin Mengya's tone, as if she was really in a difficult position.
If Hongyu was still the smart girl she used to be, she would be able to tell that Lin Mengya had actually set a trap for her.
However, she was now full of the desire to seek a chance of survival for Sumei.
Even if there was a cliff in front of her, Hongyu would jump down without hesitation.
"Your Highness, as long as you're willing to show mercy, I'm willing to hand over all the evidence in Sumei's hands to you!"
Hongyu kept kowtowing and begging for Lin Mengya's promise.
Looking at the poor woman in front of her, Lin Mengya no longer had any mercy or sympathy in her heart.
For things to come to this point, it could be said that the two sisters had only themselves to blame.
As for whether they could survive, it would depend on their own luck.
"Anyway, we've known each other for a while. You can go and see your sister later, but whether she agrees or not, I have to send you away today. You should know better than me what kind of place this is. "
Lin Mengya did not show any eagerness. Instead, her tone sounded indifferent.
Sumei hurriedly nodded, as if she was afraid that Lin Mengya would go back on her words. Deeply grateful, she turned around and walked out of Lin Mengya's room.
Looking at the slender figure disappearing in front of her, Lin Mengya suddenly sighed softly.
"Softened?"
Long Tianhao put down a chess piece on the chessboard and looked at Lin Mengya with some understanding in his eyes.
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya continued to focus on the chessboard and said, "Everyone has their own destiny.
"Everyone has their own fate. I just feel that it's a pity."
Being able to come this far, if she still had the slightest bit of soft-heartedness, she would be the one to suffer the bitter fruit of failure in the end.
Originally, Lin Mengya wanted to let Hongyu go, but now she didn't need to.
The two of them continued to play chess. Although Lin Mengya was meticulous, her chess skills were still a far cry from Long Tianhao's.
The final result, of course, was that she was crushed without any suspense.
There was no other way. This kind of gap could not be made up by just being smart.
Lin Mengya didn't look angry after losing the game, but she still felt a little unwilling.
When she was pestering Long Tianhao to play another game, the servant who had been paying attention to the situation in Sumei's room rushed in to report.
Seeing that the princess and the prince were playing chess, she whispered something in Baishao's ear to avoid disturbing them.
"Go down and continue watching."
Baishao nodded her head and the man immediately ran out happily.
Everyone knew that Miss Baishao was the princess's confidante. If they wanted to gain some respect from the princess, this was the best opportunity to do so.
"What happened?"
Lin Mengya focused all her attention on the chessboard. He asked without raising his head.
"The old woman came back and said that there was a quarrel in Sumei's house. Master, should I go out and stop them? "
Baishao had always followed Lin Mengya's lead. Of course, she had to report this matter to her master first.
"Stop? No need, just send someone to keep an eye on it. Now was not the time. If Hongyu left, just send someone to send her out of the city. "
Whatever would happen was already within her calculations.
She would protect the evidence in Sumei's hands like her life depended on it. In her eyes, everyone who tried to force her to hand over the evidence would become her enemy.
Even if the enemy was her elder sister, who would sacrifice everything for her.
Lin Mengya played with the black chess piece in her hand and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
If nothing went wrong, she would witness a tragedy of biting the hand that fed her and killing her own flesh and blood tonight.
As Lin Mengya had instructed, Sumei and Hongyu quarreled. In the end, Hongyu ran out of Sumei's room sadly with red and swollen eyes.
Because of Lin Mengya's instructions, Baishao had prepared a horse carriage early and was waiting for Hongyu to come out so that she could send her out of the city.
However, not long after, Sumei walked out of her room with a gloomy face.
But this time, she avoided the crowd and hurriedly slipped out of Prince Shen's Mansion through the back door.
The guards who were supposed to be patrolling at the back door seemed to have agreed on it. The moment she walked out of the mansion, they all ran to other places to change shifts …
After playing chess for a whole day, Lin Mengya felt a little tired.
It was not physical, but mental. This kind of calculating game was indeed more tiring than physical work.
"Don't let your men startle the little rabbit, but don't let her run away. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. I think if we are careless, it will be in vain this time. "
Baishao was helping Lin Mengya wash her hands while listening to her masters' words.
A while ago, when she listened to her masters' words, she was always confused.
But these few days, perhaps it was because of the influence of her Mistress, she gradually became enlightened.
For example, now, she had somewhat understood.
The reason why her master let Hongyu and Sumei go was probably to attract her mother's hand, which was even more powerful.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Long Tianhao also stood by the window and looked out of the window.
Whether it was Hongyu or Sumei, they all had traces left behind by him and Zuo Qiuchen.
He was not clear about the methods of the Emperor of Lintian. But he was clear about the strength of the people he had brought out.
There were people who could discover their traces, but not many.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This time, who will be whose prey? Baishao, get ready. I'll take you to see a drama soon. "
Lin Mengya smiled at Long Tianhao, and the corners of her eyes and brows were full of mischief.
His words of asking her to stay were stuck in his throat.
Long Tianhao shook his head and found that he seemed to have less and less confidence to refuse her request.
Anyway, they were going to leave here soon. What was the harm in satisfying her request?
At dusk, the horse carriage was driving on the country road, and the bumpy road was constantly bumpy.
The coachman was Old Tian, a famous coachman in Wangtian City. At this moment, he was smoking his tobacco pipe and feeling puzzled.
This job was sent by Prince Shen's Mansion, who was in high demand at the moment.
It was not easy to earn money from the relatives of the emperor. Old Tian wanted to refuse, but the price offered by that person was too tempting.
For the sake of money, Old Tian had no choice but to accept this job.
However, before he left, the words that the fairy-like girl had said to him still made him feel a little uncomfortable. Hopefully, there would be no accidents.
Old Tian could hear the intermittent sound of sobbing in the carriage, which made him feel a little unbearable.
It was a very pretty lady. Although she was dressed plainly, Old Tian, who was experienced, could tell at once that this lady was not an ordinary person.
However, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches. She had been crying all the way here.
Old Tian was a little upset because of her crying. However, she was the owner of the house and came from the prince's mansion, so he had to be very careful.
Therefore, even though he was a little displeased, he endured it.
In any case, the Ten Mile Slope was not far ahead. His owner had said that he could return to the city as soon as he arrived there.
However, his owner did not allow him to take the main road. Instead, he instructed him to travel as fast as he could.
Although the small road was bumpy, it saved him a lot of time.
But today, it was a little … a little too quiet.
The carriage had been traveling for a long time, but there was not a single passing car in sight. A feeling of uneasiness grew in Old Tian's heart.
"Go!"
The horsewhip that he had used for half his life was raised high and then brought down, hitting the shaft of the carriage.
Horses were his source of income, and he could not easily kill them.
This was merely a reminder to his horse that it should move faster so that it could go home and rest.
Fortunately, they were almost at the Ten Mile Pavilion.
If Old Tian hurried, he would be able to return to the city before the city gates closed.
When the time came, he would go to the prince's mansion to collect the money for his son's birth. Then, he would have money for his son's marriage.
At the thought of this, Old Tian's tensed up mood eased a little.
However, the young lady in the carriage was rather pitiful. In this day and age, who would not have a sad story to tell?
Hongyu could not remember how long she had been crying. Even now, her eyes were burning with pain, but she could not stop her tears.
Sumei, why did Sumei become like this?
How did the little lass who was always chasing after him in his memories turn into such an unreasonable person like she was now?
In the afternoon, she had kindly persuaded her younger sister to hand over the evidence so that they could run away together.
She did not expect her younger sister to accuse her of not doing it for her own good.
She had been bribed by Lin Mengya to force her to hand over the evidence.
She did not care about all these, but Sumei, for the sake of that unreachable delusion, had forced her to commit suicide.
Hongyu had initially thought that there was at least a trace of kinship between them.
She did not expect that in Sumei's eyes, she was an obstacle that prevented her from achieving her wish.
How ridiculous! She thought of how she had sacrificed everything for her younger sister, and even did not hesitate to be ungrateful. Hongyu felt that the first half of her life had been absurd.
She had thought that her tears had dried up in the little dark room where the brothels trained young prostitutes.
Now, she realized that when her heart was broken, the blood from the heart could turn into tears in the eyes. However, it was true that her heart had been broken.
Forget it, the sky was high and the river was far away. She would just pretend that she had never had a family member like Sumei.
