Yue Shilin was at his wit's end, so he tried everything he could.
Lin Mengya followed him into the inner courtyard of Yue's Mansion.
Speaking of which, she had been here with her father when she was a child.
It was just that the world had changed. Things remained the same, but the people had changed.
"Sister Lin, do you really have a way to persuade my mother?"
Yue Qi held Lin Mengya's hand and led the way anxiously. Lin Mengya had been brought up by her sister since she was a child, so they had different feelings for each other.
Moreover, although Lin Mengya was stationed at the border all year round, he would often ask people to bring her and her sister some interesting things.
Therefore, Yue Qi was very satisfied with this future brother-in-law.
"I'm not very sure. Let's take it one step at a time."
Although Lin Mengya said so, she was not a person who would give up easily.
She had to keep Sister Yue Qi as her future sister-in-law for her brother.
"It's here. Mother has sealed the door of my sister's room. No one is allowed to enter."
Yue Qi sniffled. It was obvious that she felt wronged. She stared at the moon door, unwilling to give up.
Lin Mengya smiled and went up to knock on the door as if she didn't care at all.
"Who is it? Madam said that no one is allowed in. Don't you have ears? "
Suddenly, the voice of a servant came from inside. No matter how good-tempered Yue Shilin was, he could not bear it.
After looking at Lin Mengya apologetically, he shouted with a gloomy expression on his face,
"Is Madam's words an imperial edict? In this house, I, Yue Shilin, am not to be scolded by a servant like you! "
Hearing that it was Yue Shilin's voice, the servant inside did not dare to say anything else.
He immediately opened the Moon Gate and was surprised to see a large group of people standing outside the gate.
Especially the woman in the palace dress in the middle, whose sleeve was held by Second Miss.
The young ladies in the mansion were considered the most beautiful, but they were not even half as beautiful as this woman.
She was like a fairy.
"I'm Princess Yu. I'm also a childhood friend of your First Miss. Please inform her and ask her to come here."
The fairy's voice was gentle, but with an unquestionable command.
The old maid had never seen such an imposing manner. She immediately turned around and ran to the front of the main room.
"Quickly, let the young miss out. The Princess Consort has personally come to visit our young miss!"
Princess Yu sounded like an awe-inspiring relative of the royal family. Even Old Master was afraid of him.
But before the old maid guarding the door opened, a cold shout came from outside the yard.
"I was wondering who was trying to show off here. It turns out to be Princess Yu, who was in the limelight yesterday! Locking up my daughter doesn't seem to be a problem for you, does it? "
His harsh voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes walking up to her, surrounded by a group of old maids.
This lady must be Madam Yue.
Lin Mengya finally understood why Yue Shilin was afraid of his wife.
Her almond-shaped eyes contained a bit of fierceness, and her slightly good-looking face carried a faint aura of harshness.
One look was enough to tell that this person was not someone to be trifled with.
It was strange that Elder Sister Yue Ting's beautiful eyes were exactly the same as her mother's.
But for some reason, this fierce face on Elder Sister Yue Ting had a different kind of gentle temperament.
If it were not for this face, Lin Mengya would never believe that this sharp-tongued and ruthless woman was Elder Sister Yue Ting's biological mother.
"Auntie, you're exaggerating. I'm just here to visit Elder Sister Yue Ting. Has Elder Sister Yue Ting done something wrong? Why can't I see her even if I want to? "
Lin Mengya's politeness made Madam Yue frown.
Madam Yue snorted coldly, but she was not going to give Lin Mengya face.
"She's unfilial. How dare she talk back to me, her mother. So I want her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors."
Seeing that her mother was so righteous, Yue Qi could no longer bear it.
"Mother, you're obviously forcing Elder Sister to marry the second prince of King Ming. How is Elder Sister unfilial?"
The childish voice caused the expressions on everyone's faces to become extremely subtle.
Although Yue Shilin was frowning, he did not stop his youngest daughter.
Madam Yue's face turned red and green. She must have wanted to strangle her youngest daughter to death.
Only Lin Mengya's expression did not change. Instead, she put on a smile and looked at Madam Yue.
"Is what Second Miss Yue said the truth?"
Lin Mengya's question was not painful at all. It seemed to be very peaceful.
However, only those who knew her well knew that Lin Mengya was the scariest when she behaved like this.
Madam Yue made up her mind. She was not afraid of Lin Mengya at all.
"Madam Yue, have you forgotten that the eldest daughter of the Lin family is the fiancée of the Lin family?"
Lin Mengya's face darkened as she fixed her eyes on Madam Yue.
She was still here, but Madam Yue was already so domineering. It seemed that the Queen had given her a lot of benefits.
How could there be such a mother in the world? In exchange for benefits, she was willing to let her daughter marry a man she did not like.
"So what if I am? So what if I am not? Now that Lin Nansheng is far away from the Great Wall, my daughter is at such a young age. Is she going to be a widow? "
Madam Yue spoke with conviction, as if she was certain that Lin Mengya could not refute her.
However, she smiled again. This time, her smile was so cold that it made people shiver.
"I don't know how many brains you have, Madam Yue. How dare you commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor. Do you really think that the people in the court can trample on the Emperor's edict at will just because the Emperor is ill? "
What a heavy accusation. Not only did Madam Yue's expression change, but even Yue Shilin's face darkened.
Disobeying the Emperor's edict was tantamount to rebellion.
Moreover, with this reputation, the Yue family would be in danger.
"I … I did not disobey the Emperor's edict. Don't try to scare me."
Madam Yue's attitude was obviously not as tough and arrogant as before.
However, she was still unwilling to admit defeat and stubbornly confronted Lin Mengya.
"That's right, you are not disobeying the Emperor's edict. But if Elder Sister Yue Ting marries someone else, you will be disobeying the Emperor's edict. Have you forgotten that my elder brother and Elder Sister Yue Ting are engaged by the Emperor? Even if the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future, this edict will not be easily revoked. "
Lin Mengya's words made Madam Yue's face turn pale.
Not to mention that disobeying the Emperor's edict would bring disaster to the Yue family.
She had underestimated the variable that Lin Mengya, Princess Yu, could bring about.
She was afraid that if Lin Mengya offended her, given how much Prince Yu doted on her, he would definitely make things difficult for the Yue family.
By that time, the Queen would not be able to protect the Yue family.
"Madam Yue, as an elder and Elder Sister Yue Ting's mother, you must have your own considerations. You must be doing this for Elder Sister Yue Ting's good. However, there are some things that cannot be achieved just because you want to. "
Lin Mengya warned Madam Yue again, hinting that she would not let this matter go easily.
Madam Yue, who was extremely arrogant just now, fell silent at this moment.
She was not a fool. In fact, during her father-in-law's many years, she had seen too many disputes in the harem and the imperial court.
Yue Shilin wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead as he stared at his wife.
He hoped that she would not be so stubborn and go against Princess Yu.
"What you said makes sense. However, if Yue Ting wants to go through with the marriage, we can't stop her, can we?" "Hmph, you're not going to repent until you see the coffin."
"Hmph, you won't repent until you see the coffin."
At this moment, Lin Mengya secretly wanted to kill her brother's future mother-in-law.
"In this case, why don't we release Elder Sister Yue Ting and interrogate her on the spot?"
Madam Yue was in a difficult position, but she could not refuse.
She could only nod reluctantly at that moment.
The servant who was guarding the door immediately unlocked the door. In an instant, Yue Ting's frail figure dashed out of the room.
"Mother, I've already been betrothed to Nansheng. How can a woman marry a second husband? If you force me to go through with the marriage again, I'll have no choice but to die! "
Yue Ting's attitude was very firm. She looked at Madam Yue with a look of determination.
"You … you unfilial daughter … how dare you threaten me like this!"
Madam Lin was furious. She pointed a trembling finger at Yue Ting.
However, Yue Ting's face was full of tears. She bit her lip and refused to change her words.
"Uncle Yue, since Elder Sister Yue Ting is so determined, I don't think there's anything else to say. Don't you agree?"
Yue Ting's attitude had explained everything. Madam Yue did not dare to say anything else.
At least for now, Lin Mengya was superior to her, and with the imperial edict, she had no choice but to retreat for the time being.
"What the princess said makes sense. Ting 'er is already a member of the Lin family. No one can change this!"
Compared to Madam Yue who blindly tried to curry favor with the Queen and the others, Yue Shilin, who was upright by nature, did not agree at all.
In the past, he had to compromise on some things for the sake of family harmony.
Because of this, Madam Yue had become more and more arrogant in handling matters.
Now it seemed that she had brought disaster to the Yue family!
"I won't make a fuss about what happened today, nor will I make a fuss about it. You can rest assured, Uncle Yue. "
Seeing that the other party had compromised, Lin Mengya did not continue to be aggressive.
In fact, she could tell that Yue Shilin was the final decision maker in this family.
As long as he did not give in, no one would force Elder Sister Yue Ting to go through with the marriage.
"You … You! Hmph! Alright, both of you can be the good guys, while I'm the only bad guy. That's enough! "
Whether it was her husband or her daughter, they were now standing opposite Madam Yue.
Instantly, the dictator was furious.
