Chapter 56 Clues (1/2)
Lin Mengya stood under the shade of a tree and frowned. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions. Her profile was perfect but Long Tianhao noticed that she was sad.
She might feel sorry for the innocent woman.
She could smile at her enemies and torture them mercilessly. But she may also feel sorry for a strange old woman.
At this moment, Long Tianhao suddenly understood her.
Lin Mengya was not a cruel girl. She was clear-cut on what to love and what to hate. She showed no mercy to the Empress or the Crown Prince because they were enemies.
Long Tianhao suddenly felt that he did not understand his Princess at all.
”Well... Lin Kui, you need to check all the servants and guards of our mansion after coming back. If this happens once again...”
Lin Kui made a bow with both hands folded in front. It was his duty to guard Prince's Yu's Mansion.
But the assassins and secret agents had entered the mansion secretly. He was grateful that the Prince showed mercy and didn't punish him.
”I don't think we need to check them in such a big way.”
Lin Mengya smiled faintly and her eyes were filled with strange lights.
The enemies just wanted to fish in troubled waters.
They would alert the enemies if they took it too seriously.
”Princess, what's your idea?” Zhu Qiang had tremendous respect for Lin Mengya after seeing what had happened today.
If Baili Wuchen found that Zhu Qiang was so respectful to the Princess, he would be surprised and even dropped the paper fan that he always took with him.
”I have an excellent idea. But I need everyone here to cooperate with me.”
Lin Mengya smiled mysteriously and narrowed her eyes. Other men who were the future pillars of the country were scared.
It seemed that the most terrible thing in the world was to be the enemy of Princess Yu.
”Alright. We can leave here since we've finished everything. Lin Kui, let's go back to the mansion.”
Long Tianhao suddenly smiled for no reason.
There were many beautiful and clever girls in the world, but Lin Mengya was the most unusual one. She was open and honest and never tried to conceal her ambition and evil intentions.
”Prince, why does this teahouse become abandoned?”
Zhu Qiang and other men had left. Lin Mengya looked at the lonely and shabby two-story building thoughtfully and asked.
”There was a big fire five years ago in this place and many people were killed. Later, they said that this was haunted. So the owner of this teahouse sold it at a low price.”
Lin Kui answered her question. They bought this teahouse because the owner was the former subordinate of the Prince.
”Haunted? I want to check it carefully.”
As a student of medical school, she had heard numerous scary stories, including the top ten legends and the stories of the eight ghosts.
She was not afraid of these stories. She had spent a night doing the experiment in a lab that was said to be haunted.
She walked gracefully to the main courtyard of the tea house without fear. Long Tianhao could only see her slender figure.
Why was this girl not afraid of anything?
Long Tianhao looked at her figure with doubts.
He didn't believe that there were spirits in the world, but these stories were quite popular among the common people. As a result, the government had to ask the Ministry of Rites to build temples for the public to pay homage.
After going through the inner gate, Lin Mengya saw the abandoned and shabby teahouse.
The door frame had been burnt black but she could still see the glory of the past. The front door was locked and separated this abandoned land from the busy street. Otherwise, this teahouse might be the most elegant place in the capital city.
”Be careful.”
Long Tianhao suddenly reached out and naturally put his arms around her slender waist from behind.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw Long Tianhao's angular and handsome side face. He was a good-looking man and looked like Apollo in the myth.
It was her first time in this and her previous life that she was attracted to the face of a man.
”No one has repaired it after the big fire happened. Be careful and don't get hurt.”
Long Tianhao let her go and she realized that there was a small rotten floor at the entrance of the teahouse.
If Lin Mengya had stepped on it, she might have sprained her ankle.
”Oh, thank you.” Lin Mengya dropped her eyes to cover her shyness.
She walked around the shabby teahouse more carefully to check the traces of the so-called ghosts.
The teahouse had been burned down but the overall architectural framework remained intact. It was strange that the wooden staircase was still solid and its basic shape hadn't been destroyed.
”Lin Kui, can I use your sword?”
Lin Mengya stretched out her thin fingers and touched the black stairs. She knocked on it and suddenly there was a glimmer of happiness and surprise in her eyes.
Although he didn't know what the Princess wanted to do, Lin Kui still gave her his own sword. Lin Mengya took it over and scraped the staircase with it. They suddenly heard the sound of metal!
