Chapter 51 Concubine Des Birthday Party (2/2)
It was said that she had more than forty boxes of dowry.
There was no use in discussing it. They started to admire Prince Yu's fortune.
Why was he so lucky? Why could he marry this beautiful lady?
”Princess. Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin arrived.”
The woman who welcomed visitors and saw them off gave Lin Mengya the visit card of the Lin family.
Lin Mengya gave a brittle laugh. The shameless mother and her daughter finally arrived.
”Let them in since they arrived. Follow the arrangement of the female guest to receive them. You don't need to go back and report to me.”
Lin Mengya threw the visit card aside without looking at it.
This old woman forced a smile. She had intended to please Lin Mengya, but now she realized that this daughter of the formal wife didn't get along very well with her stepmother.
”You guys need to keep an eye on the guests and make sure that everything is under control. I need to ask the Prince to come over here.”
Several capable women nodded and did their own jobs.
Lin Mengya took Baizhi and went to the Qinwu Courtyard of Long Tianhao.
But Lin Mengya heard a sweet voice before coming to the door, which made her surprised.
”Cousin Prince Yu, you haven't come to see me for a long time. I miss you so much!”
Cousin? Lin Mengya stopped immediately. She hoped that this girl was not like Lin Daiyu in The story of the Stone.
If they were playmates in childhood and fell in love with each other, she would become a detestable third party.
”Ruqin, you shouldn't come to this place.” Although she did not see his expression, Lin Mengya could notice impatience from the tone of Long Tianhao.
What? Maybe the Prince didn't love this girl at all.
If it was an unrequited love, she'd better come forward to help the Prince off the hook.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya slowly walked into the Qinwu Courtyard.
”Princess, all the guests have arrived. It's time for you to go to the front hall.”
Lin Mengya smiled and said. She just ignored the woman who clung to Long Tianhao.
This was a bold move for this pretty and delicate girl. She must want to seduce the Prince.
”You must be my sister-in-law. You're so beautiful. Nice to meet you, you can call me Ruqin.”
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart, but she still pretended to be polite. It was obvious that Ruqin wanted to seduce the Prince, but she still kept on calling her sister-in-law. Sure enough, this girl didn't show any respect to her.
”Ruqin, you're too polite. This is my first time to see you. Well, the Prince is too forgetful. He has never mentioned this beautiful and gentle cousin to me. I even thought that you worshipped and loved the Prince when I came in.”
Lin Mengya looked Ruqin standing in front of her generously. To be honest, this girl was beautiful and impressive. She looked a bit like Concubine De.
But they were different. This girl was not as dignified and graceful as Concubine De.
She was beautiful. But she didn't seem to be smart.
”You're kidding. I've always been close to my cousin since we were still kids. Are you jealous?”
Jiang Ruqin laughed behind her hands, but she looked down on Lin Mengya deep in her heart.
She looked Lin Mengya up and down and had to admit that she was beautiful and attractive. But her elder brother had told her that this was a cruel and sinister woman.
She couldn't let this woman hurt her cousin.
”No, absolutely not. We're a family and I'm not so mean. By the way, I have something to discuss with the Prince. Miss Ruqin, please leave and take your seat at the banquet.”
Lin Mengya naturally took Long Tianhao's arm and smiled softly at him.
Long Tianhao looked a little strained. But he was very patient and was different from before when he was talking to Ruqin.
”Ruqin, you can leave now. I have something to discuss with Ya'er.”
Jiang Ruqin stamped her foot. She could do nothing but leave.
She walked out of the Qinwu Courtyard with her servant girls.
”It seems that the beautiful girl is difficult to deal with.” Lin Mengya immediately let go of his arm and laughed cleverly.
Long Tianhao cast a glance at her but he seemed to be relieved.
”Ruqin is the daughter of my great uncle and the sister of Jiang Sheng. Since she was a child, she has always entered the imperial palace to chat with my mother and amuse her. Please don't mind her offence.”
Long Tianhao only treated Ruqin as his little sister.
The great uncle wanted to marry Ruqin to him, but he was unwilling to accept this.
”Well, I see. By the way, I have something to tell you.”
Lin Mengya simply told him everything about the statuette and the imperial edict.
”Where's the corpse of the old woman?” Long Tianhao frowned and clenched his fists. He didn't expect that such things would happen over and over again in his mansion.
Those people were just courting death!
”I've already asked someone to preserve her corpse in an abandoned icehouse.”
Lin Mengya stepped forward, gently put her fingers in the eyebrows of Long Tianhao and smoothed his wrinkled brow.
”I will remove all obstacles for you, so please don't worry anymore.”
They were very close to each other and he could even hear her breathing.
