Chapter 194 The Young Man With a Rosa Multiflora (1/2)
Lin Mengya was held up by Concubine De personally. That meant that she became the real winner of the fight over the power to manage Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Jiang Ruqin could do nothing about it, no matter how unwilling she was.
After all, it was Concubine De’s order.
However, Jiang Ruqin still felt angry that everyone blamed her. It had been Concubine De’s order at the beginning.
Why did others blame her?
However, she dared not argue with Concubine De.
“Mother, Miss Jiang, have you had your food? There are some simple dishes available. Why not sit down and have a try?”
Obviously, Lin Mengya had said this deliberately.
However, Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin were not in a position to say yes.
“I’ve eaten. Qin’er, let’s go now.”
Jiang Ruqin followed Concubine De out of Liuxin Courtyard very unwillingly. Her facial expression showed that she was unwilling to submit. However, she could do nothing.
“Please take care, Your Highness.”
Lin Mengya and all her servants politely saw Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin out.
“Master, they’ve gone away. You can rise now.”
Baishao helped up Lin Mengya as the door was closed tightly.
It was not Lin Mengya’s fault. If Concubine De had not insisted on causing her trouble, she would not have been driven into such a difficult position.
Baishao and the other servants didn’t understand why.
What had Lin Mengya done to Concubine De to make her hate her so much?
“Everybody, you can leave now. You’ve all had a tough day. Starting tomorrow, we have to be more cautious.”
That day, Lin Mengya rewarded not only the four maids, but also the other servants in charge of odd jobs.
This time, it was not the same.
After dinner, Lin Mengya sat down by the window alone and lost herself in her thoughts.
She was tired enough to fall asleep.
However, a black shadow suddenly emerged before her without her noticing it.
After a low, deep sigh,
the black shadow fetched a blanket and covered her up.
Lin Mengya woke up in astonishment. She trembled and opened her eyes, her eyelashes as thin as wings.
She was surprised to see Long Tianhao in total black.
“Concubine De banned you from coming here, didn’t she? Why are you here then?”
She spoke in an invisible, complaining tone.
Without Long Tianhao, there would be no need for her to fight against them.
“Please tolerate mother. Please?”
Lin Mengya hated crying in the presence of others. However, she couldn’t stop her eyes from turning red now just because of what Long Tianhao had said.
Her eyes brimmed with tears. She tried to stop her tears like bursting water, but it was in vain.
Therefore, she immediately cried out, her tears streaming down her beautiful face.
She cried like a pussycat.
“I don’t want to be the Master. I don’t want to fight against anyone. I want to live a normal life. Do you understand that? Why? Why must everyone target me? Plain me? They hurt me because I am Princess Yu, don’t they? Then, I don’t want to be Princess Yu! I give up the title!”
She didn’t suppress her sadness like a child this time.
In the presence of others, she was Princess Yu, who always remained calm, planned wisely and acted courageously.
However, everyone was fragile.
She was not an emotionless robot. She could be weak.
“I…”
Long Tianhao could accept her malevolence, bear her arrogance, and appreciate her wisdom.
However, he couldn’t bear to see her cry. He didn’t know how to deal with it.
Her bright tears were like the most precious treasure in the world.
Unfortunately, they weighed over a thousand, so he lost the strength to hold them.
“I’ll let you go.”
“She is right. She’s failed to live a quiet life because of me.”
“What did you say?”
Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide and stared at Long Tianhao.
“I’ll let you go. When the right time comes, I will—”
Bang! A china teacup was thrown at his face abruptly.
“Get out!”
The teacup was specifically thrown at Long Tianhao’s left eye in a perfect parabola.
Long Tianhao instinctively caught the cup but realized Lin Mengya had shut the window from the inside.
“Never come here! Go! Go away!”
Lin Mengya turned her back to the window. Her eyes became wet again.
“What gave him the confidence to say that? Let me go? How dare he say that?”
She felt so upset that she started crying again.
“I am really not important to Long Tianhao.”
“You want to drive me out and marry a new wife, right?”
“Long Tianhao, what a good plan you have.”
“Fine, I’ll go. I will disappear from your sight soon.”
The cry coming from inside gripped Long Tianhao.
He raised his hand and tried to knock at the window. Then, he stopped.
It might be better for Lin Mengya to leave him and go far away.
