Chapter 265 Producing a Gossip (2/2)
“His Highness is here now. Master, will he—”
Baiji frowned slightly, and looked at the pavilion as if she was implying something. She said worriedly.
“He won’t . If he would, I’ll take the responsibility.”
Lin Mengya was not worried at all, and actually, she wanted to know whether Long Tianyu would shield his cousin or not.
Other people would never know the truth, but only Long Tianyu would know. If he thought she was wrong, she would take the responsibility and give Jiang Ruqin an account.
Lin Nansheng was right that it was extremely dangerous to enter the Palace. She chose to do this at the moment, because she wanted to test Long Tianyu’s faith in her.
Those old female servants and maids were already talking about Jiang Ruqin.
Long Tianyu sat in the pavilion, and his eyes had a meaningful look in them.
“Your Highness, do you want me—”
Lin Kui was with him and hesitantly asked.
“No. Just tell them to be careful. I don’t want to hear anything about Mengya.”
Lin Kui nodded and felt at ease.
Long Tianyu continued to read, while in his heart, he was silently interested in the goings on.
In fact, yesterday, when he came back, he already heard that Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin had insulted Lin Nansheng. He knew Lin Mengya was a powerful woman, much like a cat.
Anyone who stood against her, had to prepare herself to bleed, at least.
And, he believed that Lin Mengya would not make Jiang Ruqin suffer in such an embarrassing way. But if she wanted to get married, those noble families would not accept her. Jiang Ruqin had to marry an ordinary man, after everything was over.
The Jiang family was already in danger but they did not notice that. If they really had the support from noble families in the court by marriage, the Shanggaun family would soon start plotting against the Jiang family.
“Did she do this deliberately or just scored a lucky hit?” Long Tianyu was not certain.
Lin Mengya was eating sunflower seeds and hearing salacious stories in the Capital City, the whole morning. It was time to do something serious, she supposed.
Jiang Ruqin was living in Prince Yu’s Mansion, so she was sent back here.
At present, it was a mess at Art Courtyard. Prince Yu could not spare the time to deal with these household affairs, while she was Princess Yu and it was her duty to handle it. Concubine De was trying hard to suppress this gossip, but to her surprise, Jiang Ruqin’s fiance took off his gloves, to ask for a justice.
Lin Mengya would not have liked to miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.
“Let’s go to Art Courtyard and have a look.”
Lin Mengya, followed by the four maids, walked out of the Liuxin Courtyard, in a big group.
But someone was looking at her back, with his eyes deep and full of worries.
“Lin Kui, follow them.”
Even Long Tianyu was not clear about Concubine De’s temperament. Recently, she often did absurd stuff.
Lin Mengya’s visit at the moment, might lead to her hatred erupting and earn her more kicks.
Lin Kui nodded and left to follow Lin Mengya.
Long Tianyu returned to read his documents but found it was boring. Last time, Lin Mengya sent Baizhi to ask him to come back, but he was delayed by something else, and failed to return.
This time, he really wanted to see how Lin Mengya was going to take her revenge on her enemy, in words, personally.
An invisible smile emerged secretly at the corner of his mouth.
On the way to Art Courtyard, everyone was talking about the affair of Jiang Ruqin. The gossip spread fast and there were different versions of it.
Lin Mengya had already heard three versions of it. Jiang Ruqin wanted to elope. Jiang Ruqin was too lonely. There was even one version saying that Jiang Ruqin went there, to learn how to seduce a man.
Anyway, all kinds of dirty words were used to describe Jiang Ruqin. All she needed now was a red mark on her breasts and a shame parade.
