Chapter 101 I Am Not Being Jealous (2/2)

She reckoned that this adorable girl was to become a pair with the open-minded and sanguine crown prince, they would be a perfect match!

”Listen, this is what's happening. The crown prince of the western vassal state had proposed for marriage with Dajin. However, he does not fancy any other woman other than you. He wants you to be his consort. I've meant to ask you if you're willing or not?”

Lin Mengya had made up her mind that if Baizhi was willing to be the crown prince's consort, she would do her best to make sure Baizhi would have a blissful future.

However, if Baizhi was unwilling, she would not force her into the marriage.

She could not bring herself to do something to benefit herself at the expense of another's blissful marriage.

”What? Is the crown prince an idiot？He wants me to be his consort? I'm merely a maidservant!”

Surprisingly, Baizhi was not stunned. She must have thought that Lin Mengya and the crown prince of King Ming were joking.

She was a little maidservant by Lin Mengya's side since she was young. How could she be fit to marry the crown prince of King Ming?

”Don't ever despise yourself, lass. You are like a younger sister to me. All of you here are either my friend or family. As long as I'm around, I will never allow anyone to look down on you.”

Baizhi's eyes welled-up in tears as she was touched by Lin Mengya's words.

She clearly knew that her mistress had always treated her as a best friend, even when she was still an idiot.

Lin Mengya had always kept a portion of whatever was delicious or fun for her.

This was also the reason why she had been so faithful to her mistress.

Baizhi threw herself into Lin Mengya's arms and replied with a sad voice, saying,

”I don't want to be married. I want to remain by your side. Did we not agree that we would never separate?”

This lass was still like a kid.

Not to mention getting married, even the feeling of romantic love was alien to her.

Lin Mengya went into deep thoughts. If she simply sent this innocent girl to the western vassal state, it was as good as sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

She made up and mind and patted Baizhi, saying,

”This matter concerns your future happiness, so I would never force you into it. How about I get the crown prince of the western vassal state to spend some time with you? After that, you can decide if you want to follow him to the western vassal state. What do you think?”

If she kept Baizhi with her, she would eventually be implicated by Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya was very clear where her path was leading her. Baizhi was too gullible and she thought it would be wise to find a good family for her to marry.

”Miss, are you really going to send me away? Is it because I ate too much? If that's the case, I will stop eating snacks. Will that do?”

Baizhi appeared to be at the verge of crying, so Lin Mengya gently shook her head immediately.

”No, it's not that, silly. I can't keep you with me all your life. If you can't find your happiness your entire life, I'm happy to keep you with me. I'm just giving you a suggestion for now. Whether it would happen according to what I plan, it depends on you really. Do you understand?”

Baizhi nodded even though Lin Mengya was not sure if she really understood. She would be fine as long as her mistress did not the way she did not want her.

”Alright, anyways it's too early to talk to you about this. Ask Baiji to make arrangements for us to meet the crown prince at the relay station tomorrow.”

Baizhi's eyes were red as she wiped her tears away and excused herself.

All of a sudden, a lanky figure appeared behind Lin Mengya. It was Qinghu. When he saw her in a daze, he called out gently to her.

”What are you thinking, lass?”

Lin Mengya recovered from her trance. Looking at Qinghu's cheeky expressions had definitely lifted her mood.

This guy was always wearing a smile on his face, as if nothing in the world could intimidate him.

”I'm just thinking of how I should punish you if you fail to accomplish the task I entrust you with.”

Qinghu could see the sinister look in Lin Mengya's eyes. He put his hands on his chest and pretended to look as if he was afraid.

”Alright, stop your repulsive act. I don't have the strange affinity you thought I have! Tell me the outcome quickly!”

Lin Mengya had to admit defeat to this man, who never got serious.

It was no wonder that Lin Zhongyu always had that look of disdain in his eyes whenever he mentioned Qinghu.

”Lin Mengwu and her mother were almost going crazy. There were planning how to take back the chance to be the western vassal state's crown prince's consort. The first person they were planning to get rid of is none other than your Baizhi.”

Now that she had Ye to protect her, Qinghu was being freed up to do a lot more things.

For example, he could go around to gather information for her.

Lin Mengya had long expected this and the corners of her mouth curled up in a smile.

Earlier on Lin Mengya was unwilling to marry the crown prince of King Ming because she thought that he was definitely an unrefined and uncultured man.

Little did she expect that Hu Tianbei was, in fact, a handsome, open-minded and heroic young man.

Any normal girl in her right mind would be happy to become a crown prince's consort.

”Now that she wants to be the crown prince's consort, why then did she spoil the plan in the beginning? However, Lin Mengwu won't become the crown prince's consort just because the mother-daughter wish it happens that way.”

In fact, from the time Lin Mengya knew that Lin Mengwu was the candidate for the crown's princes consort, she had determined in her heart to upset this marriage arrangement.

Fortunately, Lin Mengwu, being an idiot, had dug her own grave.

”Your Highness, the Princess, King Ming had invited the Dajin Crown Prince and Prince Yu to join him on a hunting trip the day after next. Prince Yu had sent me here to ask you to get prepared early.”

The voice of a male servant echoed from outside the room.
