Chapter 193 Who Won? (1/2)

“Nothing. Just something unimportant.”

Lin Mengya thought about it and decided to tell him after finding a cure for him.

If he resolutely refused to take the medicine, she would pour the medicine into his mouth.

“How is it going in Sanjue Hall?”

Lin Mengya thought twice before she began to ask about Sanjue Hall.

It was the last place where she could protect herself after all.

“Yunzhu is clever. She has gathered many people together, but we need to weed out some people.”

Yunzhu was a better manager than Qinghu.

However, Qinghu had kung fu powerful enough to hold those vagabonds.

Everyone thought of Yunzhu, who had a mask on her face, as an old woman.

Qinghu had to sit inside the room. He felt extremely bored.

“Right. Only the top of the top can join us.”

Lin Mengya picked up the tea and took a sip.

“Oh, little girl, you won’t support them for free after you have a group of people, will you? They must earn money by themselves. Why not start the killing business?”

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Qinghu. “He wants to build up another Peach Blossom Dock?”

“Sanjue Hall is seemingly a drugstore. Some of them can go somewhere else to gather herbs if they are tired of society. However, I want Sanjue Hall to be a collecting and distributing center of information on the sly.”

Lin Mengya knew clearly that information was the most significant thing in the so-called Jianghu.

To get revenge, pay a debt of gratitude, or wander in society, one had to control the latest news first.

She had studied why people got informed so late. It was because the transport in ancient times had not been as advanced as in modern times.

Therefore, as long as she got new information faster than anyone else, she would be ahead of them.

Making it an information center sounded like a good choice.

“Okay, that’s settled.”

Qinghu liked that idea. Lin Mengya was clever. She would cover it up with the drugstore so that no one would doubt it.

Besides, she was excellent at making poison. She would become famous in the society soon.

The drugstore needed many special detoxifying herbs. Thus, it was reasonable that her people would stay in different places for the herbs.

“Okay.”

Lin Mengya nodded. The wound on her hand was healing fast.

That stupid woman, Jiang Ruqin, managed all these affairs in the next few days.

Without her, Lin Mengya would have had no time to heal her wound.

Jiang Ruqin struggled to manage the household for only three days. Then, she went to Liuxin Courtyard to admit her mistakes.

However, Lin Mengya made up an excuse about not feeling good and refused to open the door.

Recently, Prince Yu’s Mansion had been a complete mess.

Even having three meals a day had become difficult.

Now, only Liuxin Courtyard was still the same. Qinwu Courtyard and Art Courtyard had run out of food.

Concubine De frowned at the cold dishes on the table. Some anger could be seen in her eyes.

“You took charge of the whole family, yet you are making me eat those things? Do you think I am a vegetarian?”

Jiang Ruqin immediately knelt down and grumbled.

“Aunt, it’s Lin Mengya’s fault. Recently, I’ve had no money to buy meat. I have to make everyone cook vegetables like cucumbers or radishes.”

As she spoke about this, Jiang Ruqin got really upset.

She hadn’t known that the money for meat and vegetables was paid every few days.

Last time, the servants’ salaries had all been paid in time.

However, this time, Lin Mengya had unkindly not paid her.

“Didn’t you tell me that you have all the keys in your hands? Where is the money?”

Concubine De put down the chopsticks forcefully and glared at her.

She had thought that letting Jiang Ruqin take Lin Mengya’s place would be bad for Lin Mengya.

However, she had never imagined that she would take a beating herself.

“Lin Mengya told me that there was no money in the treasury. However, someone told me that she actually moved the money into her private coffer. I was very angry, but I tried to get the money back. She claimed that the money was her dowry and that no one had the right to take it away.”

Jiang Ruqin spoke in a pathetic manner. That was what Liu’er had taught her.

Jiang Ruqin had wanted to complain to Concubine De, but Liu’er had stopped her.

She hadn’t said anything until now, which made Concubine De even angrier.

Jiang Ruqin winked at Liu’er with praise in her eyes.

Now, Lin Mengya would be in trouble.

Lin Mengya was not Concubine De’s match.

“What did you say? How absurd she is! Let’s go to her place. Let me see what gave her the courage to take our money!”

Concubine De rose to her full height. Then, she went to Liuxin Courtyard with a group of servants.

Upon arriving, they saw servants out there holding plates of food for Liuxin Courtyard.

None of them had enjoyed their food in three days. When they smelled the scent of delicious food, they couldn’t help swallowing hard.

“She’s such an evil daughter-in-law. How could she enjoy delicious food herself while letting Aunt eat that kind of terrible food!”

Jiang Ruqin provoked Concubine De by ear. Concubine De was so provoked that she pulled a long face.
