Lin Mengya and Baizhi went back to the main room. They lit a candle and sat quietly on the chair to read.
Baizhi kept looking around. Finally, she saw Baishao, who looked angry, and Baiji, who was frowning.
"What happened? Who did this to Childe Yu? "
Baizhi shook Baiji's arm anxiously. But Baiji didn't say anything.
"Master, Young Master Yu is doing this to protect you."
Baishao, who was impatient, changed the topic after she said that.
"It's that Miss Jiang. She put on airs like a concubine and blamed Miss Lin. She didn't even care about her reputation and scolded Young Miss. Young Master Yu was only angry and argued with her for a few words, but she had her subordinates beat Young Master Yu with vines. If it wasn't for Grandma Sun protecting Young Master Yu, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this. "
The three maidservants had been watching Lin Mengya's every move since she entered the mansion.
Although she was a little strict with her servants, she was clear about rewards and punishments. She would never easily accuse others. It was rare for her to treat her servants without any distinction of nobility or inferiority.
Not to mention them, even in the entire State of Jin, there were only a handful of such matriarchs.
That was why they tried their best to protect Lin Mengya.
It was also because of this that Young Master Yu was beaten and tortured.
In an instant, the three maidservants and Lin Zhongyu united to fight against a common enemy.
Lin Mengya understood that she was more distressed than anyone else that Xiaoyu was injured.
A cold glint flashed across her pair of beautiful eyes. There was a hint of fierceness on her pretty face.
"How dare you hurt someone in my yard. Baishao, ask Steward Deng to bring all the people who hurt Xiaoyu to Liuxin Courtyard tomorrow morning. "
Lin Mengya's face turned cold. Jiang Ruqin had shown off her power in Prince Yu's Mansion. Now she was so bold that she hurt someone in her yard!
Lin Mengwu must have added fuel to the fire. Lin Mengya would remember this.
At that time, they would get even with each other!
In Long Tianhao's study, Steward Deng and Lin Kui sat silently beside Long Tianhao's desk.
Long Tianhao's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of anger in his long and narrow eyes. He stared coldly at the two bowls of nourishing soup on the table.
The blue and white porcelain bowl was exactly the same, even the murky dark yellow soup inside was exactly the same.
It was just that, in the eyes of others, this great tonic had become a fatal poison to him.
Ever since he was young, he couldn't eat those seafood delicacies.
If he ate it, his throat would become red and swollen. If he did not take the medicine prepared by the imperial physician in time, he might suffocate to death.
Everyone in the wang fu knew about this, but the two women who were eager to gain face in front of him didn't care at all.
"Throw it away."
The cold voice was filled with undisguised disgust.
What he hated the most was those women who only wanted to climb up the branches and become phoenixes, deceiving him with such hypocrisy.
Although he knew that sincerity was the rarest thing in the royal family.
"Your Highness, the princess wants to see you."
Outside the study, the respectful voice of the guard sounded. Somehow, Long Tianhao felt a touch of expectation in his heart.
"Let her in."
"Yes."
Steward Deng and Lin Kui were both Long Tianhao's confidants.
In this mansion, except for the two of them, no one else could win Long Tianhao's trust.
But this strange princess was an exception. Not only as a woman, she could win the prince's favor and trust.
She also broke many precedents in the prince's mansion. Could it be —
They looked at each other and read the same message from each other's eyes.
The princess trusted and cultivated so much, and he might put her in an important position in the future!
With the princess's appearance and shrewdness, she might be the best pawn to be buried in the palace.
"Your Highness, haven't you gone to bed?"
Lin Mengya was wearing a white gauze dress, which made her look more pure and lovely in the night.
Her hair was draped on the back of her head and tied up with a ribbon of the same color. She didn't look domineering at all, but more gentle like water.
Long Tianhao seemed to have expected that she would come, and he was not surprised at all. He nodded and continued to read the art of war in his chair.
"This is the tremella and lily soup I asked the kitchen to make. It's the best for supper. Your Highness, why don't you have a rest and have a taste?"
Although Lin Mengya's supper was the most ordinary white fungus and lily soup, she had put some thought into it.
Long Tianhao nodded, put down the letter in his hand, and silently drank the soup in the bowl.
"Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you."
As the saying went, one's mouth was short after eating from others. Before Lin Mengya opened her mouth, she had to please the master first.
It must be the effect of the sweet but not greasy tremella soup. Long Tianhao's face was not as gloomy as before.
It was just that his thin lips were pursed, intentionally or unintentionally, causing his handsome face to look a little angry.
Lin Mengya looked down and happened to see the two bowls on the table.
The corner of her mouth gently curved up. Oh, she was wondering who had made the prince angry.
"Lin Mengwu said that she wanted to invite Madam Lin to stay in our mansion for some time. I just said that I had to ask the prince, but she urged me. So in the middle of the night, I can only disturb the prince. "
When Long Tianhao returned home, he really saw the despicable tricks of the mother and daughter.
Not to mention to stay in the mansion for some time, even if they met, he would feel bored.
Moreover, Madam Lin was the sister of the Empress. And his mother and the Empress were incompatible like water and fire.
If such a scourge entered the mansion, there would be no peace.
"I don't think it's appropriate."
Long Tianhao frowned slightly and looked at Lin Mengya in confusion.
Normally, this girl should hate the mother and daughter more than him. Why did she take the initiative to ask him to allow Madam Lin to live in the mansion?
Could it be that there was something behind it?
"Your Highness, it's not inappropriate. After all, she is my stepmother in name. If she wants to visit my son-in-law, it's not inappropriate. If you are afraid of trouble, you can arrange a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the mansion for her. "
With a faint smile on her face, Lin Mengya looked like a considerate young lady from a respectable family.
Only Long Tianhao couldn't help but feel his heart beat a few times after seeing the sweet smile on her face.
What is this girl scheming now?
"However, I still have to ask Imperial Mother about this matter. Tomorrow, I will go with you to pay my respects to my mother, and then ask her for advice. You go back first, and I also need to rest. "
Long Tianhao looked down, and there was a little doubt in his eyes.
According to the information he had received, Shangguan Qing had made Lin Mengya suffer a lot over the years, both openly and secretly.
He didn't see the relationship between mother and daughter, but he felt that they were enemies.
He could do whatever she wanted outside the mansion, but this was related to the safety of the mansion. As for those hidden spies, they were still in the process of screening.
If some people with ulterior motives came in at this time, it would be difficult to control.
"Yes, then I will leave first. Your Highness, have a good rest."
Lin Mengya bent her knees to salute and left the door of the study obediently.
Looking at the moon-white figure disappearing in the night, Steward Deng and Lin Kui looked at each other and had to dissuade him.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to think twice before you act. Madam Lin is the Empress's sister. I'm afraid that she came to our mansion with ulterior motives. "
Steward Deng was responsible for the safety of the inner chamber, so he certainly didn't want anything bad to happen to the masters in the mansion.
But obviously, Long Tianhao had his own plan.
"You all know Mengya's way of doing things, right? It seemed that the reason why she agreed to Lin Mengwu's request was also because of her own calculations. We'd better not speculate. We don't need to discuss this matter anymore. "
Long Tianhao finished the bowl of white fungus and lily soup and announced his decision without any doubt.
He took off his black coat and lay on the camp bed in only his white underclothes. He was still holding the military book in his hand.
Steward Deng and Lin Kui had already left the door of the study. Suddenly, he was alone in the room.
He didn't want to look at the military book that he had read hundreds and thousands of times. Since when did he become unable to refuse Lin Mengya's requests?
"Night, how's the situation in the dungeon these days?"
A breeze swept over, and a low voice called out a black figure who was hiding somewhere.
"Your Highness, the five survivors couldn't stand the beating and vomited. They are all spies in the army. They were ordered by their superiors to come to the mansion to protect the small teahouse. The haunting before was also done by them. But the people who were lying in ambush in the icehouse didn't catch the master of disguise. He was very vigilant. He just showed his head and ran away. And Qinghu of the Peach Blossom Dock refused to say anything no matter how we interrogated him. He also said that he had to see the princess. "
He had already expected that Qinghu didn't say anything.
That night, not all the people who were lying in ambush in the small courtyard were the people who followed Lin Mengya to play tricks.
Night led the secret guards to lie in ambush in the abandoned icehouse in the small courtyard early in order to catch the master of disguise.
If he continued to let the master of disguise hide in the mansion, he was afraid that something would happen sooner or later.
However, how was he going to uncover the mole?
He rubbed his eyebrows with his slender fingers. In order to resist foreign aggression, he had to first stabilize the internal situation. In the past, he was the only one in the mansion.
But now, there were so many people. It would be difficult to eliminate them one by one.
"From now on, anyone who goes out from the mansion to work must go in a group. Night, ask the secret guards to keep an eye on this person. You must catch him! "
