Chapter 459 Meaningless Provocation

Suddenly, an excitement rose in her heart at the thought that she would take revenge on these people. Since they did not treat like how they should treat a human being, she wondered how outraged they would be when she backbit them in future.

They moved swiftly through the streets of the village, taking care not to alarm anyone. By the time those men discovered that the last man guarding the courtyard was missing, the two of them had gone out of the village and met up with Zuo Qiuyu.

“How did things go? Did you get discovered?”

It looked like Zuo Qiuyu had also just returned and he quickly came up to them to inquire.

“No, let’s go. It’s not a good idea to remain here for long.”

Based on Hongyu’s description, those men had likely gone out just to send the investigator on his way.

Maybe they would be back at the farmhouse in no time. Given that Hongyu was very witty, Lin Mengya supposed that she would be able to substantiate her statement.

After all, Hongyu was a useful chess piece for those men. If used well, she could spell trouble for Lin Mengya.

Little did Lin Mengya expect that Hongyu would give her an unmerited advantage. Even if Hongyu subsequently turned around at the last minute, at least the knowledge of the plan was more advantageous than being kept in the dark.

Just as when they first came to the village, Long Tianyu had put his arms around her as protection. In the dark of the night, no one was able to predict what would happen tomorrow.

However, there was one thing that was certain. From the moment Lin Mengya stepped into the Nation of Lintian, her fate had been tightly entangled with these ploys and schemes.

From outside the city, they galloped all the way back to Wangtian City without stopping. Just when they entered Prince Shen’s Mansion, Zuo Qiuchen’s personal guards were already waiting by the gates.

Sumei was mistaken that Zuo Qiuchen had become suspicious of Lin Mengya.

However, she was not sure who exactly Zuo Qiuchen’s trusted company was. Therefore, when there was a need to pass information around, his personal guards who were supposedly his trusted men did a fantastic job by not turning a hair.

On seeing the guards at the gates, Lin Mengya knew that her Cousin Chen was here to talk to her.

She quietly nodded at the guards and they trailed behind Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya into the prince’s mansion.

Just when they passed through the front yard, they spotted Sumei who seemed to be guarding the entrance to the middle courtyard.

At this moment, she had been moved into the backyard by Zuo Qiuyu, who quoted the reason that she needed to be protected from arousing suspicion.

However, when she heard about the fun trip Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu took this afternoon, she could not help feeling grumpy.

Most importantly, in her heart, Prince Yu no longer belonged solely to Lin Mengya now.

If she succeeded in having the Nation of Lintian to be her backing, Long Tianyu would at least make her his vice Princess.

Obviously, Sumei had thought of herself to be half a master of Prince Yu’s Mansion.

At the sight of the intimate gestures between Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu’s, a sour feeling overwhelmed her.

“My greetings of peace to the prince and princess.”

She walked up to them gracefully, bow slightly as a form of paying respect to the two of them.

However, she had never received any proper training. The way to pay respects she learned from scripts of plays made her a laughing stock to the people around.

Moreover, it seemed that there would always be something entertaining wherever she was. At this moment, the sound of laugher started echoing from all around.

Sumei took note of this deep in her heart. She was determined to find an opportunity to get back at these people one day.

“You may rise. What is it?”

Lin Mengya sounded cold and even a little disgusted.

Towards Sumei, Lin Mengya had lost all patience.

Hongyu might not have helped Lin Mengya out of the sincerity of her heart, but she had already revealed to Lin Mengya that those men had been incited by Sumei.

If Hongyu could still tell right from wrong, she would have utterly hated Sumei.

Therefore, even if she did not act now, this ignorant girl would not be able to struggle for long.

Moreover, Lin Mengya had to deal with many matters at hand, why would she bother herself with Sumei, whose days were limited?

“Your Highness, you’re too unappreciative. After all, we’re one family. I’m just trying to show concern for the prince and you.”

Sumei was no longer the pitiful-looking girl. There was even a hint of arrogance in her voice as if she was the master of this mansion.

Lin Mengya found this to be very funny. It had only been a few days and she had transformed into something else.

Perhaps this was Sumei’s true colors.

“The prince is doing very well. There’s no need for you to be concerned. If there’s nothing else, you may excuse yourself for now. After all the fun we have, it’s time we take a rest. Both the prince and I are exhausted.”

Sumei was provoked to anger just by that statement.

Lin Mengya stuck out her chin as if she was the victor in cockfighting.

Leading Long Tianyu by his hand, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu strode into the courtyard.

“Your Highness, the prince…”

Discontented, Sumei called out loudly but Long Tianyu did not even look at her at all.

“Humph! I’ll wait to see how long you can hold this arrogance up!”
