Chapter 304 The Person Flying Into the Air (1/2)

“How prestigious you are, Your Highness. Tell you? Everyone in the palace knows that you have a privileged background, too terrified to do something to you. But I have to remind you out of goodwill, Your Highness, that you’d better not believe you can do anything you want with the backing of the Lin Family and Prince Yu. God is watching you, and no crook will be ignored.”

Jieyu Hui was watching Lin Mengya, her eyes harboring a deep resentment as if she was desperate to skin Lin Mengya alive.

Chongrong Yun was blocking her way. Otherwise, Jieyu Hui would probably rush over to bite Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya showed her friendliness first but was met with an abusive scolding from Jieyu Hui. Lin Mengya felt angry, but she could not express her anger for the sake of Jieyu Hui’s position as the Lady of Handsome Fairness. However, Lin Mengya could not bear to let her be free after the insult.

“What did I do to irritate Jieyu Hui? Please tell me, Your Highness.”

Lin Mengya asked in a different tone from what she had adopted before. She was a junior in their presence, but she was also Princess Yu at the same time. Jieyu Hui shall think of the one behind her before insulting her. Therefore, if Jieyu Hui had no powerful background, then, she may be the rash type and innocent enough to offend Lin Mengya.

“Hmph! You did forget it so soon after you had done it, didn’t you? I…”

Jieyu Hui’s anger was soaring as she kept speaking. She looked like a devil begging for a life in hell while glaring at Lin Mengya. Chongrong Yun, standing beside her, saw her overstepping her boundaries, so she grabbed her sleeves and gave Lin Mengya an apologetic smile.

“My sister is always outspoken. Please don’t bear it in mind, Your Highness. Those words came out of sudden anger. She didn’t mean it. Please don’t blame her, Your Highness.”

Noticing that Lin Mengya was getting irritated, Beauty Cheng also grabbed Jieyu Hui’s arms.

Her round face was full of worries.

Jieyu Hui was stopped from doing anything but gave Lin Mengya a resentful look. Then she hummed and turned her head.

Chongrong Yun stood out to try to make peace, so Lin Mengya was obviously supposed to stop for her sake.

Lin Mengya managed to suppress her displeasure. Anyone would feel unhappy after being scolded violently for no reason.

“Since Your Highness said that, I, of course, should stop for your sake. After all, Jieyu is one of His Majesty’s vice wives, with the difference between honorable and humble. Don’t make trouble with others as you please. Otherwise, you may get yourself in trouble and suffer losses.”

Dajin had strict laws. Even in the palace, concubines had a low status. Take Concubine De as an example. Even after her son had grown up and had been given the title of a prince, Concubine De still had to adhere to the conventions. She had to greet the Empress every day whenever she was in the palace.

In an ordinary family, no matter how much love a concubine gained from her husband, she had to do some unskilled work for the real wife every day.

Therefore, Jieyu Hui’s behavior would be seen as a disrespect for Lin Mengya.

“Thanks for your generosity. I suppose Sister Hui will feel grateful. Well, we can’t keep bothering you. Please, Your Highness.”

Chongrong Yun stood there to mediate so that they could not really quarrel.

Lin Mengya did not want to stand over there and carry on with Jieyu Hui. Thus, after making a bow, Lin Mengya, with a cold look, got back to her way to the Court of Imperial Physicians.

However, Jieyu Hui did not stop looking at Lin Mengya, with increasing hatred against her.

“Sister Yun, why did you stop me?”

Chongrong Yun retraced her gaze from Lin Mengya, and after lightly letting out a sigh, she said, “Do you really believe you can succeed? Sister Hui, we’ve married His Majesty, so we’d better not help with our parents’ affairs. His Majesty is terribly ill, and we have no child. Thinking of our own future is the right thing. Today, if I had known that your purpose of coming here was to provoke Princess Yu, Sister Cheng, and I would not have come with you.”

Chongrong Yun’s comforting words failed to shake Jieyu Hui’s determination.

Jieyu Hui found that her sister, someone she had been living with for a long time now, did not stand by her side. Therefore, she hummed, threw away Beauty Cheng’s hands, and then left in a huff with her maids.

“Sister Yun, will Sister Hui do anything on impulse?”

Beauty Cheng asked full of concerns. Chongrong Yun just shook her head in return and helplessly sighed.

Everyone in the palace was feeling insecure. Jieyu Hui’s plan might create a disturbance, but who knew?

It would be the best if Princess Yu was not a mean person. Otherwise, Jieyu Hui would have a tough future.

The quarrel with Jieyu Hui dampened Lin Mengya’s mood.

But beside that, she was more interested in what she had done to make Jieyu Hui resent her like that.

“Agate, do you know about Jieyu Hui?”

Upon hearing Princess Yu’s question, Agate immediately answered respectfully, “Jieyu Hui got into the palace five years ago. At first, His Majesty showed her a lot of affection. In recent years, due to not giving birth, His Majesty had tossed her aside. I also heard that she was one of His Majesty’s distant relatives. That’s all.”

“His Majesty’s distant relative?” Lin Mengya had not expected that.

As a matter of fact, those great noble families often used marriage, with the royal family or among themselves, to develop themselves. Therefore, if one pondered over the relationship between them, they would be related one way or the other.

“Should I teach her a lesson, Master?”
