There was a mistress in the mansion, but she didn't find any trace of her all the way.
She just didn't know what kind of woman Dongfang Xu would like.
Following the butler to the depths of the inner courtyard, a small courtyard that looked very quiet appeared in front of her.
"Miss, please rest here. We have to wait for my family to come back. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Lin Mengya nodded and didn't feel a little awkward.
In other people's territory, she naturally had to be clever and not cause any trouble for them.
The scenery of the small courtyard was good, and so was the house. But the smell of dust in the air still made her realize that it should be roughly cleaned.
However, the tables, chairs, quilts, and pillows inside were all new.
It must be because it was a coincidence that she was invited here.
If the Fifth Lord hadn't come to make trouble today, Dongfang Xu might not have found her.
After all, it was that guy's fault.
She'd better not meet that guy again next time, or she would never be polite!
Sitting at the table, Lin Mengya's fingers unconsciously tapped the table.
The room was really very good, and the decoration was also elegant.
It was more than enough to imprison her.
The reason why Dongfang Xu locked her up was that he wanted to use her to threaten Xiaoyu.
Now the blunder between her and Xiaoyu had caused an uproar in the palace. Big families like the Dongfang Family might have known it.
Dongfang Xu doted on A'xiu, so he was naturally anxious to find a good home for A'xiu.
However, since Dongfang Xu knew her identity and the relationship between her and Xiu, he still took the risk to bring her back, which was a little too anxious.
After all, others didn't know, but they were completely clear that she and Long Tianhao were a couple.
If he didn't have to do it or had to do it at this time, Dongfang Xu would not take the risk.
What was the secret in it?
She stayed in the small courtyard obediently. Before she called someone to come in, someone brought her hot tea and fruits, which were not only top grade but also very fresh.
Without Lin Mengya's command, those maids automatically put things on the table in front of her.
When they were done, they left quietly. Even Lin Mengya didn't have a chance to strike up a conversation with them.
It seemed that Dongfang Xu intended to make him a mute.
"Sigh …"
Lin Mengya let out a long sigh and leaned on the table.
She didn't know whether Baisu had delivered the message or not. She didn't want to waste time here.
Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the door, and a figure quietly appeared in the corner of her window, which made Lin Mengya excited.
Lin Mengya did not make a move and continued to lie on the table like a prop. She did not get up until the stealthy figure disappeared.
Strange, who would peep at her?
Filled with curiosity, Lin Mengya subconsciously wanted to follow him out.
However, just as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw the housekeeper rushing towards her courtyard.
She hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, rolled onto the bed, and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Fortunately, the butler didn't come to confirm it himself. He just glanced through the door and left quietly.
The people here were really strange. Why did they like to peep at a stranger like her?
Lying on her arm, Lin Mengya felt more and more strange as she thought about it.
Not long after, there was another noise outside.
Lin Mengya originally thought it was the housekeeper who returned or Dongfang Xu who came.
But when she sat up and tidied up her messy clothes, several beautiful figures appeared in front of her.
"Madam, this woman is the one whom the housekeeper welcomed back from outside the mansion today!"
Her shrill voice was a little harsh to the ears.
Lin Mengya frowned and found a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes standing in front of her, but there was a bit of hostility between her eyebrows.
Judging from the title, she should be the hostess here.
However, her intuition told her that this madam seemed to have misunderstood something.
For example, those angry eyes that almost wanted to eat her were very telling.
At this moment, to explain or not to explain became one of the problems she encountered at present.
"Greetings, Madam."
Finally, Lin Mengya bowed to the madam generously.
She was also a person who had struggled in the palace. She could deal with any difficult person, not to mention the woman in front of her, who was obviously a resentful woman.
As expected, the madam seemed to be a little unaccustomed to her taking the initiative to be friendly.
After looking at her disdainfully for a few times, the madam said arrogantly,
"You know the rules. Since Master brought you here, you should know the rules of our mansion. Otherwise, you can't survive here. "
This misunderstanding was a little big!
Lin Mengya smiled helplessly in her heart. She was really an innocent good person. Why did she always get involved in this kind of thing?
"Madam, you may have misunderstood. He Lan is not Mr. Dongfang's confidante. He Lan is just a lowly female official in the palace. She just follows orders to do something. "
Hearing that she was a female official in the palace, the masters and maids opposite her all opened their eyes wide.
"What? You're a female official. How did Master know you? Could it be that Master even dares to touch people in the palace? "
Oh my god! Lin Mengya really wanted to kill herself.
She had said that she came here on business. Why did this madam still want to lead her to the wrong path of adultery?
Lin Mengya calmed herself down, took out the token that belonged to Madam Jingrou, and presented it with both hands.
"Madam, please have a look. This is the proof of He Lan's identity. I'm really here on business. There's no other reason. "
Madam Dongfang looked at the token in her hand doubtfully. However, when she saw the symbol of Madam Jingrou on it, her expression changed.
"Could it be that Madam Jingrou has agreed to let Xiu enter the palace? How could it be? Doesn't the ninth prince already have a sweetheart? "
However, Madam Dongfang seemed to be more shocked than before.
Lin Mengya didn't know how to answer. She could only smile, lower her head and pretend to be dead.
"Forget it. Since that's the case, you just have to wait here. If I find out that you've lied to me, I'll never let you off, no matter if you're a female official or someone else in the palace! "
The token was returned to her hand. In Lin Mengya's cramped smile, the maids and their women twisted their slender waists and disappeared from her sight.
"Madam, if that female official really proposed to Miss Xiu, then your plan is …"
Outside the window, the maid lowered her voice, but Lin Mengya, who had sharp ears, could hear the voice.
It was because of the name "Xiu" that she paid special attention to it.
"It doesn't matter. It seems that she's just a female official who came to do business. Xiu, that little bitch, can't escape from my palm. The ninth prince is arrogant. How could he marry a blind woman? "
Madam's slightly proud answer came into her ears.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, but she felt a little uneasy.
She didn't know what this madam was planning, but from her tone, it seemed that she wanted to marry Xiu to someone else.
She suddenly understood why Dongfang Xu was so anxious.
There must be some connection between them.
Lin Mengya was a little anxious. Finally, Dongfang Xu arrived.
His face was still a little pale. It seemed that after she left, this uncle, who had been worried about Xiu, also had other things to do.
"Mr. Dongfang, I have something to ask you."
Lin Mengya got up and said in an urgent tone.
But Dongfang Xu waved his hand and sat in front of her with a lonely look. After a long time, he sighed.
"Alas, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law and Xiu!"
His words made Lin Mengya hold back her question.
After a long time, she found a suitable opportunity and asked cautiously.
"What exactly are you worried about?"
Before Madam Dongfang came, she thought that Dongfang Xu just used her as a condition to force Xiaoyu to marry Xiu.
But now, she felt that this man's behavior was mixed with a lot of reluctance.
"Miss Lin, I know that you are meticulous and smart. I beg you, please save Xiu!"
As he said, Dongfang Xu was about to kneel down to Lin Mengya.
She immediately stopped him. Oh my, Dongfang Xu was almost like her father.
If she knelt down like this, her life would be shortened by three years!
"Sir, don't be like this. Just tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse. "
She had to be nervous about Xiu.
After getting her affirmative answer, Dongfang Xu's gloomy look did not ease a lot.
"In fact, it's all my fault. If my wife hadn't been blinded by lard, she wouldn't have done such a thing. Since Xiu became blind because of that reason, I had intended to find a suitable son-in-law for her. But that woman actually wanted to marry Xiu to the lunatic of the Xin Family! I beat her in a rage, but I didn't expect that she became worse and even instigated other forces in the family to force me to give in! I have seen Xiu grow up since she was a child. I will never allow anyone to send her to the wolves' den! "
Even Lin Mengya didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
"Is the lunatic of the Xin Family Xin Li?"
Dongfang Xu nodded, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Who else could it be except him? That lunatic is not a normal person at all. It is said that he married his first wife at the age of 15, but she was beaten to death by him in less than three days. Later on, a few more women were sent to his side. In the end, each of them ended up worse than the last. My Xiu is the pearl of my brother and sister-in-law and I. How can she be defiled by him! "
Dongfang Xu said with emotion, and Lin Mengya was also anxious.
