No one knew what Sumei was thinking, but on the surface, she put on a humble expression, which surprised Lin Mengya and Baishao.
She lowered her head and looked docile, which was totally different from before.
Lin Mengya had thought that Sumei would pester her shamelessly, but now it turned out that she was advancing by retreating.
She was becoming more and more promising. Now Lin Mengya was even more curious about who the person behind her was.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, glanced at Sumei, and said calmly,
"I'm not that meticulous. It's enough for Baishao to serve me alone. Moreover, wouldn't you be a burden if I brought you along? "
After finishing her words, Lin Mengya was about to turn around and leave.
A trace of viciousness flashed across Sumei's eyes, but she managed to suppress it.
She hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt in front of Lin Mengya, and put on a pitiful look. She grabbed the hem of Lin Mengya's dress with both hands and pretended to cry.
"Princess, you've really misunderstood me. In fact, everything that happened before was instigated by my cruel and unscrupulous sister. At that time, it was not enough for her to be trapped in the mire alone, and she even threatened me with her innocence. If I didn't obey her, she would send me to that kind of place. I had no choice but to compromise. If you don't believe me, I can swear that if I'm lying, I'll … I'll die a horrible death! "
Sumei pleaded with a sorrowful and sobbing tone. She sounded like she was sobbing and complaining, which showed that she was quite skillful.
If Lin Mengya was an ordinary young lady from an aristocratic family, she would not completely believe her, but she would still have some doubts.
"Oh? So that's it. "
Lin Mengya's attitude was neither that she believed it nor that she didn't believe it. Instead, she looked at Sumei with some suspicion in her eyes.
When it came to acting, Lin Mengya's acting skills were much better than Sumei's, who had just started her career.
Lin Mengya keenly caught a trace of complacency in Sumei's eyes. It seemed that she had guessed right.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the brothel where my sister used to stay to check."
Sumei didn't feel guilty at all when she said this.
After all, that person had said that the building that his sister had stayed in before had already been arranged.
"Since that's the case, I'll go check it out when I'm free. Now that your sister has left, you just need to stay in the mansion and be at ease. No one will make things difficult for you. When I return, I will deal with all of them. "
Seeing that Lin Mengya still did not allow her to follow them, Sumei, who was calm just now, became anxious.
He quickly took out a small wooden box from his sleeve. He hurriedly handed it to Lin Mengya.
"Princess, my sister gave this to me. He said that as long as I seize the opportunity to present this to the Lintian Emperor, I will be able to falsely claim your identity! Now, I don't want to harm you with her anymore, so I want to give this harmful thing to you. "
Her words were sincere, and Sumei's appearance was much more sincere.
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed. She didn't expect that he would do this for Sumei. In order to win her trust, he could actually bring out the evidence that he had prepared beforehand.
However, it was reasonable. Sumei didn't know that she had been abandoned.
Therefore, he asked her to give this thing to her as a proof of allegiance.
Baishao took the box and handed it to Lin Mengya. She flipped open the small box, and inside was a top-grade green jade pendant.
It looked old. Although Lin Mengya didn't know much about it, she knew that it was not an ordinary thing.
"What's this?"
Lin Mengya picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. There was a plum blossom on the back, which attracted her attention.
She took a closer look and found that it was just an ordinary design. It was different from the one on her waist and the cloth.
Seeing that Lin Mengya was starting to believe her, Sumei went according to plan.
"This is a relic left by your mother. It is said that it is her keepsake. If you have this, you can prove your identity. "
Mother's relic? After looking at it for a while, Lin Mengya didn't think so.
Although this jade pendant was usually worn by women, it was too shabby considering the favor her mother received at that time.
At the same time, she guessed Sumei's second purpose.
What a cunning series of tricks. It seemed that she had to be very careful. If she was the slightest bit careless, she would lose everything.
"Humph, wishful thinking. You want to falsely claim my identity with such a broken jade pendant? However, it seems to be a clever trick that your elder sister came up with. But now that you've turned to me, aren't you afraid that she will make things difficult for you? "
After acting for a while, Lin Mengya didn't want to continue arguing with Sumei.
Now, she pretended to believe Sumei, so that Sumei could continue to play some role.
"That's why I'm begging Your Highness to let me serve you from beginning to end. I don't know where my elder sister found a backer. If she wants to kill me when you're not around, I'll die, but you won't have a witness. "
This lass had already reached the point of perfection in her ability to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Mengya glanced at her and ordered Baishao.
"Take her to change her clothes, just like you. This trip will be outside, not at home. We have to be careful. Baishao, arrange for Sumei to sit in the same horse carriage with our entourage. "
After Lin Mengya gave the order, she walked out of the back door without looking back.
Sumei's eyes flickered behind Lin Mengya. Little did he know that Lin Mengya had already figured out the sinister nature of the poison in it.
When they came out of the back alley of Prince Shen's Mansion, as this was the mansion of the new nobles, there were at least 20 to 30 inconspicuous horse carriages going in and out of the mansion every day.
Therefore, their carriages did not attract anyone's attention.
They got out of the city gate safely and caught up with the group of people waiting five miles away. Lin Mengya was supported by Baishao to get into another inconspicuous horse carriage, which was very spacious and comfortable on the inside.
Looking at the interior which looked like cotton bags, Lin Mengya couldn't help shaking her head. She glanced at the two men on horseback, who were looking at her at the same time.
Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuyu were surprisingly in agreement on the matter of raising her like a pig.
Of course, she couldn't forget that Zuo Qiuchen, who was in the palace, was also involved in this matter.
This was not a good sign. Lin Mengya didn't know if she was a bitch. She always felt that it was not suitable for her to be a little woman who was raised in a boudoir.
Perhaps it would be time to end this life when her right shoulder was completely healed.
Leaning against the horse carriage, Lin Mengya took out the jade pendant given to her by Sumei and looked at it carefully.
Although the shape of the plum blossom was not left by her mother, it would be difficult for someone who didn't know the details to distinguish it in a short time.
This reminded her that apart from Cousin Chen and the others, there were not many people who could prove her identity.
If they really made things difficult for her with the matter of her birth, she was afraid that she would not have a good time.
"Master, are you still looking at the things she gave you? In my opinion, it's not a big deal. No matter how muddle-headed the people of the Nation of Lintian are, they won't deny your identity just because of a jade pendant, right? "
Baishao made a cup of tea for Lin Mengya and tried to comfort her with a smile.
During this period of time when she was with her master, she seemed to have been enlightened. Her way of thinking was also very different from before.
"You're right, but there are still doubts about my identity. Think about it, when my mother left the Nation of Lintian, she was still a young girl in her teens. Moreover, not many people know about her marriage to my father. There's no evidence, and it's easy for people to make a fuss about it. "
Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen had said that they had made preparations. Moreover, she looked too much like her mother. It would be easy for her to gain the approval of the elders.
However, Lin Mengya had a feeling that this matter was not that simple.
"Master, do you mean that someone would want to take your place? But what good would it do them? Even if the position of Princess Anle of the Nation of Lintian could be taken by someone else, it's absolutely true that you're Princess Yu. If they offend you, wouldn't they offend the whole Dajin? "
Lin Mengya looked at Baishao with admiration. This lass had indeed improved.
She took a sip of the tea in the cup. Anyway, it was a boring journey, and she could answer Baishao's doubts.
"It's the identity of Princess Yu that's fatal. Although Dajin and the Nation of Lintian have become more harmonious in recent years. But before I was born, there were many wars. I heard from Cousin Chen that there are some old nobles and officials in the old capital. To put it nicely, they're guarding the old capital to comfort the heroic souls of the past emperors. To put it bluntly, they're just competing with Cousin Chen to show the glory of the old nobles. If it's proven that I'm not Princess Anle, but I'm the princess of the Jin State and the daughter of General Lin, what do you think they'll think of me? "
Lin Mengya's clear words made Baishao feel as if she had found a direction in the fog.
Looking at her master, she couldn't help but gasp.
"Aiya, those people will definitely hate Old Master Lin to death. Could it be that they … they'll do harm to you and the prince? "
This was also a risky move. Cousin Chen wanted her to restore her identity as Princess Anle. Firstly, it could temporarily stabilize the group of conspirators in the Pavilion of Herbs.
Secondly, her special identity could be the bridge of peace between the two countries.
Cousin Chen was not a weak and incapable ruler who was content with his own territory.
On the contrary, he was bold and resourceful. If given a chance, he would definitely be one of the heroes who could fight for the throne in the world.
However, it was really inappropriate for the Nation of Lintian to have another war now.
For the stability of the country, he could suppress and even sacrifice his own ambition and desire.
Based on this point alone, Cousin Chen could be said to be broad-minded.
However, those old officials, especially those who were from noble families, only knew how to make great achievements to fulfill their own wisdom and ambition.
