A small palanquin stopped outside the Shangguan Residence. The pretty maidservant who followed the palanquin hesitated as she looked at the tightly shut door.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked her master in a low voice.
"Master, we've arrived."
The illustrious Shangguan Clan was now extremely popular.
Although Lin Mengya went to the house of a distant relative, the vermilion door was much more magnificent than the Lin family's.
Even the stone lion at the entrance seemed to have become a little more mighty.
The pedestrians on the road didn't dare to stop for a moment, for fear that they would offend the noble atmosphere of the mansion.
Since Weiyuan Marquis, Shangguan Lei, returned home, some people in the imperial court had heard the news and were waiting for an opportunity to show their loyalty in front of Shangguan Lei.
Not to mention several old friends of the Shangguan family. Now, they had already publicly supported the Shangguan family to regain power in the imperial court.
Now, the Lin family was in decline and was far less prestigious than before.
"Go and knock on the door. Just say — just say that Prince Yu's senior concubine wants to see you for something important."
Lin Mengya stretched out a jade-like hand, lifted the curtain of the sedan, and glanced at the door of the Shangguan family thoughtfully.
She hadn't received any news from Shangguan Hui since her brother's accident.
Based on her feelings for her brother, this matter was unusual.
Moreover, she didn't believe that Shangguan Hui would sit at home and wait for death with her scheming and means.
Today, it was the meticulous Baiji who followed her out.
She gently knocked on the door three times. After a long time, there was a sound from inside.
After a while, an impatient head appeared in front of Baiji.
"Who is it? What do you want? "
The gatekeeper was a servant in his twenties. He looked at Baiji for a few times with a pair of shifty eyes, and then looked at Baiji in front of him with a lecherous look.
"Which family's little beauty are you from? Which brother are you looking for here?"
The servant leaned against the door in a rascally manner. At first glance, one could tell that he was a frivolous person.
Baiji hated this kind of person the most, but now she had to endure it.
With a forced smile on her face, Baiji took a step back without a trace and said.
"I came with my master. Please do me a favor and help me inform him."
The manservant didn't know how to restrain himself. He looked at Baiji and chuckled. He actually wanted to reach out and pinch her fair and tender cheeks.
"What are you doing!"
Baiji quickly dodged. She couldn't help but raise her eyes and scold the guy in front of her.
Ever since she came to the Wang Fu, she had never been treated with such contempt.
"This is the Shangguan Clan's mansion. No matter who you are, you have to be obedient here. I saw that you looked good. Hmph, don't be so ungrateful. If I want, I can even ask your master to give you to me as a concubine! "
Baiji felt that the Shangguan family was really disgusting.
Even a small gatekeeper was so shameless and arrogant. It could be seen that the master was not a good person.
At that moment, her face turned cold and she bit her lips. However, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to tangle with this rascal.
"My master is Prince Yu's vice concubine. If the business is delayed, you can't afford it!"
All of a sudden, the concierge seemed to have heard something funny. He grinned and bent over, convulsing with laughter.
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out that you are the daughter of the Lin family who was demoted from the official wife to the vice concubine. I heard that your master was sent back to the Lin family. Why? This time you come to our Shangguan family to plead for mercy? "
Baiji was furious. She didn't expect that the matter about her master would be spread like this.
She kept pinching the hem of her clothes with her small hands. She couldn't wait to tear off this guy's face at once.
But before she could do anything, Lin Mengya, who was sitting in the sedan, quietly walked behind her.
"No matter how bad I am, I am a proper princess. You are just a vassal of the Shangguan family. So, do you really think I can't punish a dog? "
Her cold voice didn't have any fluctuation of anger.
Even the expression on Lin Mengya's face was still relaxed and comfortable.
But her eyes fell on the gatekeeper, and they were so sharp that they seemed to be able to dig a hole.
The gatekeeper suddenly felt shocked. He had seen many high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
However, he had never felt so much fear in his heart with just a look.
That was the absolute strength that ants couldn't understand.
Even if she was a phoenix in trouble, she seemed to be able to crush him easily.
At that moment, the anger in the servant's heart was reduced by half, and he fled into the inner mansion in disgrace.
"Master, he …"
Baiji felt very wronged for her master. When had Lin Mengya ever suffered such grievances?
Now he was just a small gatekeeper, but he dared not take his master seriously. What would happen in the future?
"Don't be angry because of such a small thing. In the future, there will be many opportunities for us to encounter such things. People can't be in power forever, so don't worry too much. "
In fact, Lin Mengya didn't have any other thoughts about this gap. After all, she had climbed from a crazy woman in the eyes of others to the position she was now.
Even if one day she was beaten back to her original state, she would still be able to face it calmly.
Moreover, it was still unknown who would have the last laugh.
The gatekeeper was not slow. After a while, the housekeeper appeared in front of Lin Mengya in a hurry.
Lin Mengya puffed up her chest. She was still as proud and noble as before.
But when the housekeeper saw her, a flash of disdain flashed across his eyes.
But on the surface, he still put on a respectful look and bowed to Lin Mengya.
"This lowly one apologizes to Honored One. This brat is insensible. Honored One, please don't take it to heart."
On the surface, Lin Mengya naturally didn't take it to heart.
Moreover, even if she didn't forgive him, the housekeeper might not really punish him.
Lin Mengya had no choice but to nod slightly to indicate that she wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
Immediately, the housekeeper put on an eager face, as if he was very surprised by Lin Mengya's arrival.
"May I know why you are here this time? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that my master has gone out to deal with something. I'm afraid he can't come back these days. If you have something to deal with, I'm afraid it will be postponed. "
"Gone out?" Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. How could she not know that this was the housekeeper's excuse?
"I'm fine. It's just that I haven't seen your master for a long time, so I came to see her. After all, we've met several times before. I really miss her for a long time. "
Lin Mengya's words suddenly made the housekeeper a little confused.
Although the Princess Yu had personally sent an invitation to Lin Mengya at that time, Lin Mengya was furious, and Lin Mengya had warned Lin Mengya not to contact Princess Yu again.
But now, the princess's tone was a little strange.
How to put it, the relationship between the two seemed to be not very harmonious.
"Miss Lin was taken to the palace by the Empress early in the morning. I'm afraid you won't see her now. Why don't you tell me if you have anything to say? I'll pass it on. "
Lin Mengya glanced at the housekeeper coldly, just snorted, and turned to leave the gate of the Shangguan Family.
Looking at the people of Prince Yu's side who left in the blink of an eye, the housekeeper and the gatekeeper were also confused.
"What on earth did this person come here for?"
In the sedan chair, Lin Mengya's cold face softened.
"He entered the palace this morning. Could Long Tianhao act so fast?"
But she thought it was a little impossible. After all, if Long Tianhao immediately reported to the Emperor, according to the Emperor's suspicious character, he would definitely be suspicious.
Could it be that the Empress also had a plot against Shangguan Hui?
If something went wrong now, it would be bad.
But now it was not convenient for her to go in and out of the palace. Otherwise, she could go to inquire about Shangguan Hui's situation.
"Master, are we going back?"
Outside the sedan chair, Baiji asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said a place.
Looking down, Lin Mengya felt a little headache.
It seemed that she hadn't seen her teacher for a long time. Although she didn't need to worry about Long Tianhao's protection, she still had to see him by herself. What's more, her teacher treated her like a father and daughter. Would her teacher say that she was unfilial?
The sedan chair steadily stopped outside the small courtyard where her teacher lived. It didn't matter even if it was discovered here. Last night, Long Tianhao mentioned that he would change a place for her teacher in a few days.
Today, the neat and tidy courtyard was a little abnormally quiet.
She looked around, and it seemed that every time she came here, the guards outside disappeared.
She had a doubt in her heart. Did Long Tianhao have other arrangements?
Lin Mengya stood at the door and gently knocked on the door several times.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door. Suddenly, Lin Mengya had a bad feeling in her heart.
Did something happen to her teacher?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Mengya immediately began to hit the door hard.
Before she hit it twice, the door was suddenly opened.
In an instant, Lin Mengya's rocket-like impact hit a person's body.
"Ouch!"
A cry of pain was heard, followed by the sound of falling to the ground.
Lin Mengya only felt as if she had fallen on a human cushion.
She immediately got up and checked her own situation. However, she awkwardly discovered that the person she had pinned down on the ground and almost rolled his eyes was the teacher she had been thinking about.
"Look at you. Why didn't you answer me when I knocked on the door?"
Lin Mengya complained, but she reached out and pulled her teacher up.
Baili Rui only felt that he was going to die of anger because of this girl. She was the one who hit him, but it seemed that it was his fault.
"I …"
