However, when that pair of eyes, which seemed to be as calm as an ancient well, unintentionally looked in her direction and slightly collided with her gaze.
A sense of uneasiness came from the depths of her soul, which made Lin Mengya avoid his eyes for the first time.
"Master, this way, please."
Aunt Yan, who was following Yunshen, did not know the little episode between Lin Mengya and Yunshen.
She bowed her head respectfully and led Master Yunshen to the direction of the Great Buddha's Hall.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and tried to suppress the strange feeling in her heart. She tried her best to hide herself in the crowd.
But she couldn't help but have questions in her heart.
"Who on earth is that person?"
However, no one came to answer her questions. Everyone's attention was focused on the deepest part of the Great Buddha's Hall.
The Empress was not there, so the chanting here became just a formality. No one would really pay attention to this religious ceremony.
Even Lin Mengya was absent-minded. However, what she wanted to know more was who on earth the person who made her so fearful for no reason was.
Amidst everyone's suspicions, this hypocritical ritual finally came to an end for the time being.
In the side hall of the front yard, a group of madams and womenfolk were also taking a short rest.
Although they did not do any hard work, it was still extremely exhausting to kneel there and accept the exposure of the sun.
In the side hall, a little monk had already prepared warm and sweet tea for everyone to quench the thirst of the madams.
However, Lin Mengya was a little dispirited. Although the Empress did not say what happened today, Lin Mengya could guess something from her serious expression.
"What on earth happened that made this religious ceremony almost stop?"
In the circle of women, rumors were inevitable.
Gradually, the focus of the discussion shifted to today's matter. However, Lin Mengya had been silent, so she was forgotten in the corner, quietly listening to the conversation of the madams.
"By the way, do you know which temple the handsome monk who came this afternoon is from?"
As soon as the words came out, Lin Mengya pricked up her ears and listened to every word.
"I don't know about that, but I heard that since he entered the palace, he has been praised by the Empress. Moreover, I heard that this master is a God … "
These words were forcefully suppressed by a pair of eyes.
Lin Mengya looked over vaguely and saw Old Madame Shangguan looking at the lady who was talking about the Empress.
The other party immediately shut his mouth. Old Grandma Shangguan did not stop for long. With just a glance, Lin Mengya understood that the Shangguan family's position was still unshakable here.
However, it did make sense. After all, the current Empress had crawled out of her womb. Naturally, she had the status and identity.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya, who only wanted to stay in the hearts of others and try her best to be invisible, was once again pulled in front of others.
"Princess Yu, your grandmother is here. Shouldn't you come over and let Old Grandma take a good look at you?"
Lin Mengya looked in the direction of the voice. It seemed to be a lady from the Shangguan family.
At this moment, her beautiful and gentle face revealed an expression of schadenfreude.
Everyone knew that although Shangguan Qing was Lin Muzhi's wife and Lin Mengya's stepmother, she had never been favored by Master Lin. It was said that she was grounded at home.
Even this religious ceremony could not be carried out because of Lin Nansheng's obstruction.
This matter had already spread like wildfire in the Capital City. Of course, Madame Shangguan would not allow others to humiliate her daughter.
Therefore, her confrontation with Lin Mengya was within her expectations.
Lin Mengya did not let the deliberately provocative lady laugh for long. She gently stood up and bowed to the lady, showing her manners as a lady of the Lin family.
"Greetings to grandma. May grandma be in good health."
Seeing Lin Mengya's obedient and gentle appearance, those who had not seen her naturally felt that this Princess Yu was not the woman who was said to be a smooth talker.
But how could Old Grandma Shangguan not see through this girl? Under her smart and beautiful appearance, there was an extremely cunning heart.
It was no wonder that Qinger was defeated in just a few rounds under her hands.
The Lin family's manners were indeed extraordinary.
Old Grandma Shangguan slightly raised her eyelids. She just glanced at the girl in front of her and nodded slightly. She did not look like a granddaughter at all.
"I heard that you married Prince Yu? That's a good place to go. No matter what, the Crown Prince is still your cousin, and we'll be related. In the future, your husband will also be able to assist the Crown Prince, and you'll naturally be able to enjoy prosperity. "
Look, the tone of the Crown Prince's charity, as if it was their credit that she was safe and sound today.
Lin Mengya felt disdain in her heart, but she still looked calm on the surface.
"Grandma is right. My husband and I will naturally be loyal to the country. Grandma, don't worry. I will not let down my mother's teachings at home. "
Of course, she would not forget how Shangguan Qing schemed against that innocent girl and killed her.
How Shangguan Qing schemed against her status and man and almost took away the happiness that belonged to her.
All of these had to be paid by the whole Shangguan family. Otherwise, how could she be worthy of the Shangguan family's schemes against the Lin family?
"Well, I am also relieved that you are sensible. Remember, no matter when, the Shangguan family is your maternal family. Although your mother did not give birth to you, she is also dedicated to you. You and Mengwu should visit our maternal family more often, so that others will not think that our Shangguan family is stingy. "
So, did they want her to ask her brother to let them out?
Lin Mengya could not help sneering in her heart. If it were not for Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengya, who relied on the protection of the Shangguan family, how could they dare to make such a big storm?
Lin Mengya nodded slightly and said softly,
"Grandma is right. But these days, my mother is not well. Sister Mengwu is filial and wants to be filial by my mother's bed all the time, so I can't go to the tenants' house to pay my respects. Grandma, please don't blame my mother and sister. When my mother recovers on her birthday, I will definitely take my sister and grandma to visit our maternal family. "
She politely refused Old Madam Shangguan's kindness. How could she not know that it was obviously because Shangguan Qing could not get away, so her mother came to force her to give in.
She really did not like the Shangguan family from the bottom of her heart. Why did others have to listen to their arrangements?
Everyone was equal. This kind of forcibly arranging other people's lives really made her very resistant.
Old Madam Shangguan did not seem to expect that Lin Mengya would refuse like this.
Maybe it was because in her previous life, there were very few people who dared to disobey her.
She coldly glanced at the meek woman in front of her with her head down. How was that a pair of eyes looking at his granddaughter? Clearly, he was looking at a disobedient plaything.
"Since your mother is sick, she should take a good rest. Your brother is busy with the affairs of the court and has no time to care about this. If you are filial, you should also take mother to the mansion to take care of her. I heard that there are many famous doctors in your mansion. Perhaps, your mother's illness will recover a little sooner. "
What she said was a little unreasonable.
Everyone in the Capital City knew that Shangguan Qing and her mother refused to leave Prince Yu's Mansion and finally returned to the Lin's Mansion in disgrace.
Now, Old Madam Shangguan asked Lin Mengya to take them in person. Wasn't this a slap in the face and embarrassing Lin Mengya?
Or was the Shangguan family so overbearing that they even dared to order the emperor's daughter-in-law like this?
Of course, such words only existed in the hearts of the madams. No one dared to show a trace of it on the surface.
Hearing this, Lin Mengya suddenly straightened her back and looked straight at Old Madam Shangguan. There was no fear on her face.
"Since Grandmother has said so, I will definitely bring my mother and sister to my mansion. But … "
Lin Mengya changed the topic. Even in front of Old Madam Shangguan, who had experienced many hardships, Lin Mengya was graceful and elegant, not inferior to Old Madam Shangguan at all.
"My mansion has its own rules. These were set by the ancestor. No matter how close mother and sister are, they can't go against the rules set by the ancestors. If mother and sister go there, they have to follow the rules. If they offend you, grandma, please mediate. Don't make it difficult for me. "
Old Madam Shangguan raised her eyebrows. It was the first time that she opened her eyes and looked at Lin Mengya.
What a sharp mouth! What a pair of eyes that were not afraid of her at all!
Old Madam Shangguan seemed to see the Empress from more than ten years ago. Since she came out of her mother's womb, she had been expressionless, but she was so smart that she and the Old Master were a little afraid of her.
Although she had never taken this girl of the Lin family seriously, the Empress was right. If this girl was left alone, she was afraid that it would affect her grandson's empire.
The corners of her mouth gradually widened into a slightly cold smile.
At this moment, the wrinkled face that had gone through the vicissitudes of life glowed with a subtle expression called killing intent.
"In this case, let them be. However, if anything happens to your mother, your uncles and grandfather won't just stand by and watch. "
"You can't oppress me, so you changed to threaten me?"
Lin Mengya finally understood why her father was not interested in the women of the Shangguan family.
There was probably no man in the world who would treat such an overbearing woman with sincerity.
He lightly nodded his head in greeting, but it was not as respectful as before.
