Chapter 229 Baizhi Suffered Torture (1/2)

Lin Mengya prided herself for her kind treatment towards her servants in the courtyard, but little did she expect that there would still be a spy and traitor among them.

Nevertheless, she had to continue with her act. She would come back to settle debts in future.

The commotion in the house eventually died down.

The onlookers outside the house dispersed.

In a while, a small head popped out of the door of the main hall.

Baiji scanned the surrounding for a moment and went back into the main hall.

“Master, there’s no one left outside the house. What’s the next step?”

As they circumvented the broken pieces of ceramic the mirror, they found it quite a distressing sight although Lin Mengya had kept the more valuable items beforehand.

Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea and said, “For our next step, we shall wait for them to come to us. Why do you think I made such a scene?”

Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and she pondered. She gathered from Baiji that lately, Yunruo had been staying by Concubine De’s side all the time.

However, from Lin Mengya’s observation today, she seemed to have faded into the background. In fact, she seemed to be deliberately trying to stay inconspicuous in front of people so as to stay as invisible as possible.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya was able to pick up the scent of the same species.

She had a hard time getting rid of Jiang Ruqin, and now what was she to do with this Yun Ruo?

“Baisu, go and protect Baizhi for now. Bear in mind not to make any move unless her life is endangered, do you understand?”

Immediately Baisu nodded in response. Having spend a considerable time with Lin Mengya, Baisu had definitely picked up Lin Mengya’s wittiness.

“What are you thinking about, Xiaoyu?” asked Lin Mengya when she turned to see Lin Zhongyu.

He was almost a full grown demon by now, yet he was increasingly gentle and mild.

She had been so busy with her own affairs that it seemed that this unbending young man who only knew how to guard her by standing in front of her, had transformed into an outstanding youth.

Standing by the window and looking contemplative, there was a tinge of femininity on his handsome profile.

The pair of long, narrow eyes of his seemed to be exude powerful light waves which gave people a suffocatingly attractive feeling.

His lean and tall figure was cladded in a plain robe and he was wearing a white, jade lily crown on his head. His long, black hair fell on both sides of his cheeks. There was this charm about him which attracted both female and male to him.

Compared to the flirtatious Mr. Rosa Multiflora, Xiaoyu’s countenance was much more delicate and elegant.

Nevertheless, the two men exuberated a similar alluring attraction.

Perhaps it ran in their family.

“Nothing, I just thought that your room was almost empty and I want to get something to fill up the void.”

Lin Zhongyu turned around, wearing a friendly smile on his red lips.

Lin Mengya suddenly felt that Xiaoyu was still the same Xiaoyu she had known. Although he had matured, his smile was a definite sign of their intimate relationship.

However, the eaglet would one day soar into the sky when it grew up.

However, Lin Mengya could not shake off the feeling of guilt towards him.

She was the one who pulled him out of Willow Gang so he left behind a life making a living through extortion.

Little did she expect the life without having to worry about food and shelter which she provided for him turned out to be an even more precarious one.

“It’s alright. In a few days, I would like to bring on a trip to the Lin Family. I’d like my father to make you his god son, so you can become part of the Lin Family genealogy. What do you think?”

She had been thinking over this matter for a long time.

Although the people in the prince’s mansion were not aware of his real identity, thinking that Xiaoyu was Lin Mengya’s cousin, Xiaoyu was after all not any regular person.

It would make things easier if he had an identity which he could reveal to the public.

“But I…” Xiaoyu was about to say something but eventually stopped himself after seeing the suspicious look in Lin Mengya’s eyes. He swallowed his words and nodded in agreement.

“How about assigning me a suitable identity as well? I dress up as a woman on a lot of occasions. Although I do look very beautiful as a woman, wouldn’t my magnificent style be obscured?”

It was Qinghu again, joining in the fun, as he acted coquettishly.

“You?” Lin Mengya looked at him from his head to his toes repeatedly and said, “Alright, I will put my request across to my father to let you be his sworn brother. That way, you will be my second uncle, old man!”

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Qinghu, perplexed how such a grown man refused to behave seriously.

Nonetheless, Qinghu’s identity as the person in charge of the guards in the inner courts remained important so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

They continued arguing for a while more until the voice of a maid sounded from outside.

“Your Highness, the princess, Aunt Jingyue from the Art Courtyard is here. She wants to see you over some urgent matters.”

Immediately silence ensued in the room. Everyone took their position for the act they were about to put up.

“Please let her come in,” said Lin Mengya.

Her voice sounded chilly yet it also sounded as if she was trying to suppress her rage, which was all ready to explode.

Standing outside, Jingyue took a deep breath as she supposed the princess also had a temper.

Nanny Jingyue, who was wearing a navy blue dress stepped into the prince’s main hall, looking down.

The broken pieces from those expensive breakables were evidence that there was a wild storm a moment ago.
