"Sister … sister … this is all a misunderstanding."
Lin Mengwu lost her temper, especially when she saw the bloodstains on Hongyu's beautiful face.
"Do you know what you did wrong?"
Lin Mengya's voice was clear, but as cold as the King of Hell. In an instant, Jiang Ruqin and Lin Mengwu were shocked.
"Princess, the twenty slaps have been given. Do you want to continue?"
The old maid who carried out the punishment seemed to want to continue.
Hongyu took advantage of the fact that she was a gift from King Ming to Prince Yu, so she always put on airs as a master.
Even the princess did not have such a temper, so she did not show any mercy to her.
"Let's call it a day. Whether it's her or you two, if you continue to cause trouble in the mansion, don't blame me for disregarding the feelings of relatives."
For many days, she knew that the mansion was in a foul atmosphere because of these two maidservants.
The only reason he had been holding back was to wait for a suitable opportunity.
Now, it was just the right time.
Although Jiang Ruqin and Lin Mengwu were not convinced, they had to obey Lin Mengya's order on the surface.
"From now on, I don't want to see any trouble in the mansion because of you two."
She looked down at Hongyu, who had a pair of vicious eyes on her beautiful face, like a poisonous snake entangling her.
Lin Mengya suddenly smiled. She had never taken this woman seriously.
"I don't care why you came to the mansion. Remember, if you dare to harm Prince Yu, I won't do this."
Lin Mengya's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Suddenly, Hongyu shivered. The fear in her heart overwhelmed her anger against Lin Mengya. Could she …
No, it was impossible!
If Lin Mengya knew all about it, it would be too scary!
"Let's go. There's nothing to see here."
She turned around and went back to Liuxin Courtyard with her maidservants. Only the three women were left, looking at each other.
"Is she really my sister?"
At this moment, Lin Mengwu's heart was in a mess.
Even her mother was not as cruel as Lin Mengya when dealing with the disobedient maidservants in the mansion.
How terrible! How terrifying!
He exchanged glances with the other two and saw the same message.
This sister of hers was no longer the weak and easily bullied fool she remembered!
"Third Brother, is it really okay to let Third Sister-in-law do this?"
In Long Tianhao's study, Long Qinghan shook his head and said after listening to Steward Deng's report.
"What's wrong?"
Long Tianhao's face was still expressionless. He seemed to be indifferent to this matter.
"You and I both know that the Farsighted King is obviously up to no good by gifting us beauties. As for us, accepting this gift is nothing more than to lure the snake out of its hole. But Third Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy? "
It was rare for Long Qinghan to put on a serious face, but there was a hint of solemnity on his face.
Although he was Hu Tianbi's good friend, Ming Wang had long been disloyal, and the two of them only had a tacit understanding.
"She won't. She might even force the other party to do something out of desperation."
After spending so much time together, Long Tianhao knew Lin Mengwu too well.
Lin Mengwu always had her own purpose in doing things. She would never punish Hongyu just because of a moment of anger.
"I don't think so. No matter how intelligent a woman is, when she gets jealous, it's really scary!"
Long Tianhao returned to his usual cheeky expression. He always felt that Third Brother treated Third Sister-in-law very differently.
He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it didn't seem like it was pure love between a man and a woman.
If Third Brother, who was as cold as a block of ice, really fell in love with a woman …
Gosh, it was a little too scary!
He shook his head to get rid of this absurd thought from his mind.
Long Qinghan focused on the thin piece of paper on Long Tianhao's study table.
"Father, the emperor, was furious when the army's provisions were stolen last year, but he couldn't find the culprit. Unexpectedly, a year later, there was a clue. "
On the paper was the information obtained by the spies Long Tianhao had sent out.
The army's provisions were all gold and silver produced by the Ministry of Revenue. Although he had sent people to investigate the gold and silver circulating in the market, there was no trace of the culprit.
This piece of information came from the mouth of a silversmith.
Long Tianhao frowned as he digested the information in the letter.
The silversmith told his friend that he had once helped a group of people to melt a lot of gold and silver in a secret place.
However, it turned into gold and silver and was carried away. He didn't know what it was made into.
What was even more strange was that the words "army's provisions" were engraved on the gold and silver.
If not for the silversmith's luck, an old acquaintance of his who was watching over him had deliberately let him go, he would have become a skeleton by now.
The gold and silver were obviously the army's provisions that had been lost last year. He didn't expect it to be melted in this way.
No wonder he couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried.
"This silversmith is lucky. Third Brother, have you found this person?"
Long Tianhao shook his head and said with a pale face,
"By the time my men found him, he was already dead. Moreover, according to the spies, when they were following this person, they were stopped by a mysterious person, so the person succeeded. "
It seemed that they were not the only ones who were looking for the army's provisions.
The person who robbed the army's provisions must have known that there was a fish that had slipped through the net.
"Doesn't this mean that this clue is broken?"
Long Qinghan sighed. It was not easy to find a clue, but it was broken just like that. No matter who it was, he would feel depressed.
"No, as long as we follow this clue, I believe we will find other clues."
Long Tianhao slammed the letter on the table, and his handsome face was as dark as ink.
Last year, it was his men who were in charge of escorting the army's provisions.
Because of this, he was reprimanded by his father. Someone had to pay the price for plotting against him!
"What Third Brother said makes sense. I'll go and make arrangements, and investigate it myself."
However, Long Tianhao shook his head and said,
"Even if you want to investigate it, there's no hurry. Don't forget that King Ming is still in the capital city. At the banquet last night, he and the Queen and the Crown Prince were in cahoots. "
Long Qinghan nodded. Now that he thought about it, there was a hint of conspiracy in it.
Moreover, this matter was entangled with Third Sister-in-law, and Third Brother would be troubled for a while.
He stole a glance at them, and secretly felt lucky that he had not married yet.
If every one of them was as troublesome as Third Sister-in-law, he would rather not marry and become a monk.
Lin Mengya's tactics were quite effective.
Since the day she punished Hongyu, the three of them had been well-behaved for a period of time.
Enjoying the rare peace and quiet in the mansion, Lin Mengya went back to living like a worm in the mansion.
Of course, her Liuxin Courtyard was getting more and more lively.
"Sigh …"
Looking at Lin Zhongyu, Baizhi, and Baiji, who were playing with the flowers in the courtyard, Lin Mengya sighed softly.
"What's wrong? Look at your sullen face. Who provoked my little lass? Tell me, and I'll kill him for you. "
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at this madman, who was addicted to killing, and changed her posture. However, her eyes were fixed on Baizhi's lively figure.
"Oh … I get it. You're worried about Baizhi, right?"
Qinghu looked as if he had suddenly understood. He took a cup of warm milk and placed it in front of Lin Mengya.
Ever since the poison in his body had been neutralized, his suppressed growth had gradually stabilized.
Now, he looked like a handsome young man in his mid-twenties. However, the seductive and ruthless look between his eyebrows had faded a lot, but it was still engraved in his bones.
After all, decades of killing was not something he could forget even if he wanted to.
"Yeah, why don't you kill the Crown Prince of the Ming King?"
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Qinghu impatiently, but the moment Qinghu saw it, he burst into laughter.
This guy had a strange sense of humor. He would always laugh like a chrysanthemum just because of a trivial matter.
"I told you, why didn't you sleep well for three days in a row? It's not difficult to kill him. Just wait, I'll take his head for you. "
Qinghu did not find it difficult at all. Lin Mengya took a sip of warm milk and said slowly,
"Alright, go ahead. When the whole city comes to arrest you, I'll tie you up and send you to the officials in exchange for some money. "
She squinted at Qinghu and looked him up and down.
It was as if he was not a person, but a large banknote.
After being scrutinized by Lin Mengya's malicious eyes, Qinghu suddenly covered his chest with his hands and acted like a hooligan.
"What … what do you want to do to me?"
Lin Mengya almost choked on her milk when she heard his sweet voice.
Did this guy not know how to write the word 'shameless'?
"Should I tell her? Given Baizhi's temper, if I tell her, she'll be so scared that she'll faint. "
As for King Ming, he had already sent several people to urge him.
Now, Lin Mengya had to give him an explanation.
However, she knew that the reason why Hu Tianbei said that he had taken a liking to her servant girl was because none of the so-called noble ladies caught his eye.
Moreover, whether it was the ladies from the royal family or the noble families, they all had the influence of their parents' families.
Hu Tianbei was not as ambitious as his father, but he was a man of great talent and strategy.
He would not be willing to be controlled by others.
Lin Mengya rubbed her temples with her slender fingers. But Baizhi was not someone she could easily sacrifice.
This was so troublesome.
