Chapter 65 Set Her Up (1/2)

”Master, you're here! I've been looking for you for a long time!”

Lin Mengya saw Baizhi's slender figure from the distance.

Baizhi came up to them in a hurry. Did something happen in the Qinglan Courtyard?

”What happened? You look worried. Is our house on fire?”

Baizhi was panting and Baishao grabbed her arms and asked her quickly.

”Our house is not on fire! But an evil woman is in our courtyard now! Miss Lin and her servant girls came to our courtyard after you left. Childe Yu is afraid that she might play tricks, so he is keeping an eye on her now!

Lin Mengwu? What did she want?

She must have ulterior motives. She might be anxious and wanted her mother to come here earlier.

”Don't worry. We'll know her purpose after coming back and meeting her.”

In the main house of the Qinglan Courtyard, Lin Zhongyu was sitting at the table and silently reading a book on the shelf.

Baiji was careful and put a thick feather cushion on the back of the chair to protect Lin Zhongyu's back.

All the servants and Lin Zhongyu in the Qinglan Courtyard were banded together. Therefore, all of them were unfriendly to Lin Mengwu.

But it seemed that Lin Mengya didn't notice their indifferent attitude. She was sitting in the chair and enjoying the tea served by Baiji.

”Hey! Lin Zhongyu, you're not a kid anymore and shouldn't come to my sister's room at will. You should stay in your room and avoid arousing suspicion. You can't afford to ruin her reputation.”

Lin Zhongyu had refined facial features. Despite that he was still a youth, he was charming and attractive to both men and women.

At this moment, he was wearing a light purple quilted jacket and there was a glazed crown on his head. His eyes were bright and he looked handsome.

But this boy was as proud and arrogant as Lin Mengya and was indifferent to others.

”Those evil-minded people always believe that all the people in the world are as sordid as them. She's my sister and I'm her brother. Only sordid people like you would spread slanders to ruin her reputation.”

Lin Mengwu was immediately irritated by his words.

She pointed her slender and white fingers at Lin Zhongyu and stared at him with resentment.

”Well, don't be too complacent! Do you think you can despise others under the protection of my sister? I'll punish you one day and teach you the rules of the big family!”

The servants had told her that her mother would come to live with them before long.

If her mother were in Prince Yu's Mansion, Lin Mengya and Jiang Ruqin would suffer humiliating defeats.

At that time, she would become the hostess of this magnificent and beautiful mansion!

Lin Mengwu was triumphant at this thought and stopped arguing with Lin Zhongyu.

Lin Mengya returned to her courtyard and heard what Lin Mengwu said.

Lin Mengwu was ambitious. But she had to first ask for her permission before displacing her as the Princess.

”Sister, you're finally back. I've been waiting anxiously for you.”

Lin Mengwu became soft and weak when talking to Lin Mengya.

She looked virtuous and lovable, which was most unlike her.

But Lin Mengya was very familiar with Lin Mengwu's personality and strategy, otherwise she might also be deceived and believe that Lin Mengwu was a lovely and soft girl.

”What is it?” Lin Mengwu raised her eyebrows and asked calmly and indifferently. Lin Mengwu couldn't read her mind.

”Sister, I'm sorry to disturb you. It's not a big deal and I just want to know whether or not the Prince agrees to bring my mother here.”

Lin Mengwu was well-informed. She must have been irritated by Jiang Ruqin, otherwise, she wouldn't visit her early in the morning to get further information.

”Well, I've mentioned this to the Prince and he also agreed. Your mother will come here after a few days.”

Lin Mengwu nearly jumped up with joy. She tried her best to hide her feelings but her eyes were full of complacency.

Lin Mengwu believed that she could easily replace Lin Mengya as the Princess after her mother came here.

She left Lin Mengya's Qinglan Courtyard in a rush. She was ecstatic and wanted to tell this good news to Shangguan Qing.

”Sister Princess, why don't you refuse her? I don't think we should let wily Mrs. Lin live with us. The daughter is so impolite and vicious and the mother must also be evil-minded.”

Lin Zhongyu was slightly anxious. He was afraid that his sister might be bullied by Shangguan Qing and her daughter.

”It's OK. Don't worry. We can't deal with them if they stay in the house of the Lin family. We can better see through their tricks if they live with us. What are you reading?”

Lin Mengya was not worried about it. In fact, Prince Yu's Mansion was not heaven for Lin Mengwu and Shangguan Qing.

”I picked it randomly from the bookshelf. It's nothing special.”

Lin Zhongyu would come into her room and read books in his spare time.

In this way, he could fight off boredom and kill time. Besides, he could also guard the door for his sister.

”You're old enough to go to school. When I finish my work, I'll mention this to the Prince and send you to the Taiyin College.”

The ancestors of the Jin Dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation of children.

Therefore, they set up the Taiyin College which was the central teaching institution everywhere in the country.

The college in the capital city was the most famous one. Seven or eight prime ministers were students of this school.
