Talking about the past always made people feel very sad.
Although Madam Jingrou's words sounded like someone else's story, when Lin Mengya heard it, it was a different kind of feeling.
A woman's life was predetermined from birth.
She was forced to marry her eldest brother and couldn't get her own happiness at all. Perhaps this was the most shocking thing in modern society.
But Madam Jingrou chose her own love and escaped her predetermined fate, which made her carry a deep sense of guilt towards her own family.
Lin Mengya empathized with her. If her mother hadn't resolutely chosen to give up her identity and be with her father, although she might not have died early, she wouldn't be so happy.
But her mother was much happier than Madam Jingrou. Her cousins told her that their father had been looking for her mother, but it was only to see her safe and happy.
If Madam Jingrou's family had supported her like this, she wouldn't feel so heavy now.
"Madam, don't think so much."
Lin Mengya gently massaged Madam Jingrou's calf. The soothing effect she put in the rose porridge was gradually taking effect.
Soon, Madam Jing Rou entered a state of half-awake and half-awake.
Coupled with Lin Mengya's massage, her whole body relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
"People should live for themselves. It doesn't matter about identity or fate predetermined by others. If you hadn't chosen to escape at that time, you would be depressed now and suffer for the rest of your life. People only live for a few decades. What's the point of living in misery all the time? "
Lin Mengya's voice was extremely soft, faintly discernible, and seemed to have a bit of magic, making people want to remember her words and think over them repeatedly.
It also seemed that a seed was buried in her heart. Her words were like spring rain, making the seed in her heart germinate quickly and grow stronger.
Looking at Madam Jingrou who was gradually falling asleep, Lin Mengya quietly left the bedroom.
Generally, people with a character like Madam Jingrou would be more stressed.
Fortunately, the music score for the green stringed instrument recorded some simple hypnosis treatment that could be combined with drugs and techniques.
As long as he could get rid of the obstacles in Madam's heart, then the day when her attitude would harden would not be far away.
Lin Mengya instructed the maids not to enter without Madam's permission. She took the bowl of rose porridge and walked to the small kitchen.
Sure enough, the rumors about her that were still spreading like wildfire in the morning were replaced by new hot topics in the afternoon.
Lin Mengya tried her best to pretend that she did not exist. Relying on her extraordinary hearing, she collected a lot of gossip in the small kitchen.
According to seniority, the High Priest of the Xin Family should be Xiaoyu's uncle.
However, he was not the Madam's biological younger brother. He was only the head of a branch family. Because of his close relationship with the current head of the Xin family, who was also the Madam's eldest brother, and his outstanding abilities, he was promoted to the position of High Priest.
According to convention, there could only be one High Priest at a time.
However, because Xin Li was too outstanding, an exception was made for him to be promoted to a High Priest when he was still a minor.
In that case, Xin Luan's position was a little awkward.
Fortunately, he had outstanding means, and Xin Li was not fully qualified for the position of High Priest for the time being. Therefore, he was still in this position now. He would only give up this position when Xin Li could fully master it.
In this case, it was a little interesting.
Lin Mengya's mind raced. So far, she had only met two people from the Xin Family.
Needless to say, Madam Jingrou was first-class in both appearance and character.
As for Xin Li … how should she put it? When he was mentioned, Lin Mengya felt a burst of discomfort all over her body.
She was more appreciative of delicate and pretty youths, but she would rather forget about those who had a heart as poisonous as a scorpion.
In any case, the Xin Family was a big obstacle for Xiaoyu to inherit the throne.
It was impossible to get rid of them, but it seemed to be a little difficult to uproot them.
Also, she always felt that there was something strange about the rules of the Pool of Ten Thousand Venomous Worms and the venomous girl.
It seemed that some things could not be rushed. She had to deal with this matter in the palace first, and take her time with the other things.
Outside, it was busy preparing for the arrival of the priests.
The people of Fengyu Garden were especially idle, because of Madam Jingrou's order, no one dared to go out and cause trouble.
They really needed to avoid arousing suspicion when the Queen fell ill.
Therefore, the palace maids in the courtyard became unusually idle.
After listening to enough gossip, Lin Mengya quietly returned to the side hall where she lived.
But when she entered the door, she saw Ning Qiu kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, feeling wronged.
Standing in front of her was Xiaoyu, who had a frosty face and frowning brows.
Who were these two little devils?
"Sister, you're finally back!"
The movement at the door immediately attracted Xiaoyu's attention.
He turned around, and immediately the ice and snow melted, revealing a bright smile like a spring breeze, as if the person just now wasn't him.
"Go out for a while, I have something to tell Ning Qiu."
Lin Mengya's expression was as usual, and no change could be seen.
She just opened her mouth to ask Xiaoyu to leave.
Xiaoyu opened her mouth unwillingly, and could only leave the side hall obediently.
After Lin Mengya saw Xiaoyu's figure disappear, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled Ning Qiu up from the ground.
"What happened? Did he hit you or scold you? "
Although Ning Qiu was a palace maid in Madam's palace, Lin Mengya hated men who were mean to women the most.
Even in the face of a woman he didn't like, a man should at least maintain his poise.
She could be as cold as ice, but it was better not to be as mean as a woman of the market.
Ning Qiu immediately shook her head, and a pair of big watery eyes blinked, full of grievance.
"His Highness did not punish me, he only said that you shouldn't do such menial work in the future. I also felt that it was my fault, so I took the initiative to kneel. When His Highness asked me to get up, I was the one who insisted. It was my fault for not taking good care of you. "
Lin Mengya sighed. Whether it was at home or here, her family members seemed to treat her as a retard.
Moreover, these things were not difficult, why couldn't she do it?
Seeing that Ning Qiu's attitude towards her seemed to be distant and respectful like before, Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh again.
"It's alright, I'll tell him. I'm sorry to have made you feel wronged. Madam is still taking an afternoon nap, go and see her, don't let others disturb her. "
Ning Qiu immediately nodded deeply, and trotted out of the side hall.
This girl was good in all aspects, but her character of taking all the blame was very similar to Madam's character.
No wonder people said that birds of a feather flock together.
She thought of the few people in her courtyard, who were not to be trifled with, seemed to be too unreasonable because of her.
"Sister, can I come in now?"
Outside the door, a little head, which was deliberately acting cute, deliberately looked at her pitifully.
Lin Mengya nodded. She wanted to pretend to be serious, but she had to hold it back.
After all, this child was not wrong, what was wrong was that she didn't let Xiaoyu recognize her ability in time.
Sitting on the round stool, Lin Mengya looked at Xiaoyu with a faint smile until she saw his eyes darting around. It was obvious that he was not sure what she meant. She thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Xiaoyu was a little confused, looked at his sister who was smiling warmly in front of him, and nodded his little head in confusion.
"I have hands and feet, although I'm not a strong man, I'm not a good-for-nothing either. Xiaoyu, I know you mean well, but there are some things I really want to do by myself. Do you want me to be a good-for-nothing who can't do anything, or a normal person who can at least make a living on his own? "
In fact, Xiaoyu's first choice was to cultivate Lin Mengya into a good-for-nothing.
But under the burning gaze of the latter, he had no choice but to choose the second option without hesitation.
"Very well, so no matter what I do in the future, I hope you can understand. We must live with the mentality of understanding, respect and tolerance for each other. You're very perceptive, I'm very satisfied. "
Obviously, it meant that they were going to have a talk.
But everyone knew that Xiaoyu had always put his sister first, so how could he raise any objection?
Even if he did, as long as Lin Mengya looked at him, he would immediately swallow it back into his stomach, digest it and make it disappear completely.
Therefore, the conversation between the two of them came to an end in a friendly atmosphere that was not too warm and friendly.
"Oh yes, why did you come to see me? There are rumors about us everywhere in the palace now, I think it's necessary to keep a certain distance in front of outsiders. "
Regarding this, Xiaoyu had the same attitude as Lin Mengya.
He did not like the maids in the palace, who loved to gossip whenever they had nothing to do.
Thinking back to when they were in Liuxin Courtyard, it was all the servants of the big family who would hold a handful of melon seeds and gossip about other families.
And no matter what happened in the mansion, everyone would keep their mouths shut, and no news would be leaked out.
He really liked to be with his sister, and he was not afraid of any rumors.
But this was their business, what did it have to do with others?
This kind of discussion, and it was even spreading false information. It was really annoying.
So, he chose to secretly come to the side hall to wait for Lin Mengya, instead of acting coquettishly in front of his sister like usual.
