Chapter 184 Bring Yunzhu Under Control (1/2)

A letter from Lin Mengya’s brother said that their troops had been moved, but her brother and their father, as chief commanders, were both unable to leave as they wanted.

Lin Mengya slowly let out her breath. There were few people she would feel concern for.

Her brother and father were her greatest concerns from the beginning.

“Yue Qi happens to be here tonight. Prepare more dishes! Tell the kitchen, we will have a feast tonight.”

Today, cheers and laughter filled the Liuxin Courtyard.

Lin Mengya was a really generous master. She was happy, so her servants all received a bonus.

Her four maids grinned from ear to ear, and even the old servants in charge of heavy work felt grateful for the Princess’s reward.

The servants in the Liuxin Courtyard were on the gravy train.

Thanks to Lin Mengya’s rewards, everyone was excited.

Shortly after dinner, Lin Mengya insisted on visiting Baiji’s parents personally.

However, Baiji refused firmly. She insisted that her parents pay a visit to Master first.

Thus, Lin Mengya had to drink her tea inside her room.

Baiji’s family name was Mu, and her parents were honest tenant farmers.

In their eyes, the landlord in their village was rich enough.

But when they entered Prince Yu’s Mansion, they got the same feeling as Granny Liu did in the Grand View Garden.

Whether it was the quiet winding stony road or the hard-featured rockeries and rocks, their eyes were wide in awe.

Baiji had proposed to show them around the Mansion before, but her parents declined.

Even though they could speak as they were walking to Prince Yu’s Mansion, both of them wordlessly followed Baiji closely, feeling impressed.

“Father, mother, this is Liuxin Courtyard, where I serve the Princess.”

Baiji proudly introduced it to her parents.

Her parents followed her into the yard, seeing that the richly ornamented square building was really a heaven on earth.

“Uncle Mu, Aunt Mu, the Princess has been waiting for you. Come in, please.”

A round-faced beauty greeted Baiji’s parents as they approached the room.

The beauty, who was dressed similar to Baiji but seemed younger,

acted gently, unlike the common servants throwing their weight around.

Their nerves were slightly soothed. “Princess Yu must be a kind master since her maids are well-behaved.”

Baiji and Baizhi brought both of them to the main room.

The light scent of incense greeted them when they opened the door.

Right at the center of the room sat an exceedingly beautiful lady in a light yellow dress, wearing a slight smile.

The lady looked more beautiful than a fairy in a painting.

Baiji’s parents kneeled on the floor at once to greet Lin Mengya properly.

“Greetings, Your Highness. May you live for a thousand years.”

Their faces went red as they knelt on the floor, not daring to raise their heads.

Prince Yu’s Mansion was so magnificent, even the bricks constructing its floor were superior red bricks.

They were afraid that their new clothes would smudge the floor.

“Please rise. Baiji, Baisu, help them take a seat.”

A tender voice was heard, as beautiful as the sound of nature.

Later, a beauty, along with their daughter, smilingly helped them up in a tender manner.

Baiji’s parents kept their heads lowered and dared not look at the Princess. They sat at the edge of the exquisite red chair.

“How about living here? Would you be able to get used to it?”

Baiji’s parents looked older than other people their age.

Although they had lived a relatively better life compared to common people, they still kept the simplicity of farmers due to their constant farming at home.

Baiji’s parents, who seemed honest and kind at first glance, were reserved but still well-behaved.

A flicker of appreciation flashed in Lin Mengya’s eyes.

Everything was within her expectation.

“Your Highness, we can get used to it.”

Due to his experience as the steward in a landlord’s house, Baiji’s father was really well-behaved and had no nonsense.

They must have taught Baiji through their personal example, so Baiji did so well.

“Good. I feel more attached to Baiji. Although she is still young, Baiji is a very able girl.”

Lin Mengya spoke tenderly. She had actually taken Baiji’s parents as her people.

Baiji blushed after hearing Lin Mengya’s praise.

Baisu and Baizhi brought two cups of scented tea for Baiji’s parents.

A relieved smile appeared on their faces.

They would have refused had the filial Baiji not proposed to help out with their expenses.

They never imagined that their girl would be lucky enough to serve such a kind master.

They had heard in recent days that all servants in the Prince Yu’s Mansion called Baiji the young steward.

Servants said that Baiji was in charge of every single thing in the Liuxin Courtyard.

“Your Highness, you didn’t blame her for her vulgarity. It’s my daughter’s fortune.”

Baiji’s father felt embarrassed at Lin Mengya’s praise as well. Everyone’s friendliness settled their nerves.

He silently looked around and was completely impressed.

This room looked like heaven.

The Princess was a beauty, and so was the young lord sitting next to her. The young lord was delicate in appearance, more adorable than the boy following Guanyin, the Buddhism Goddess.

“From now on, we are a family. I believe Baiji has told you my request.”
