Chapter 464 The Condition of the Nation of Lintian
“What’s the matter?”
Long Tianyu involuntarily softened his voice, as if fearful of scaring Lin Mengya.
Long Tianyu didn’t realize that his impression on Lin Mengya had changed a bit again.
Lin Mengya curled her finger. Indulged by Long Tianyu intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Mengya became increasingly audacious.
“Come on. Tell me what did you do to the man?”
As soon as Long Tianyu stood in front of Lin Mengya, the girl pounced on him.
He reflexively caught her slender figure and let her hang herself on him like a monkey.
“Which man?”
His deep voice came into Lin Mengya’s ear.
Lin Mengya only felt an itch on her back and all of her strength seemed to be depleted.
She really adored Long Tianyu’s addictive voice which was as deep and magnificent as cello music.
It was a pity that this guy had never spoken honeyed words.
Otherwise, his charm must be doubled.
“The man we found in the farmhouse where Hongyu was detained! You didn’t kill him, did you?”
Lin Mengya refused to get off Long Tianyu. She poked Long Tianyu’s chest with her left hand, feigned a serious face and questioned him.
Long Tianyu enjoyed seeing her acting rascally in this way. Anyway he didn’t find her heavy, so he just kept holding her in his arms.
“He’s just a pawn, and doesn’t know much.”
Long Tianyu would certainly not miss this opportunity easily.
The man driven by lust had certainly experienced the darkest time of his life.
Before Long Tianyu’s lackeys tortured him, he had told them everything he knew without holding anything back.
“I knew it. But didn’t he tell anything useful? Are you sure?”
Lin Mengya didn’t believe it. She glared at Long Tianyu with her big eyes full of doubts and pouted, obviously not satisfied with his answer.
After a moment, Long Tianyu failed to resist and could only give in. He shook his head helplessly. There were fewer and fewer things he could hide from Lin Mengya.
“He didn’t tell anything confidential. But one thing he told is related to you.”
“Related to me? What is it?”
Long Tianyu put her gently on the chair, bent down, and said slowly.
He said that he heard from the inspector that they knew your background long ago, and there must be someone to take your place later. Moreover, they’ve found the witness and physical evidence to prove that you are not Princess Anle.”
Lin Mengya had expected the physical evidence.
But she didn’t expect the witness. In the Jin State, not to mention unrelated people, there were only a few people in her family knew her mother’s identity.
What was more, she believed that those people should be her parents’ trusted followers. Otherwise, when the Empress insisted on granting her father a marriage, she would have not used her mother’s low origin as an excuse.
It could never be faked that her mother gave birth to her.
Therefore, they could only make an issue of her mother’s identity.
“Has it reminded you of any clues? If there some clues, we can take precautions.”
Long Tianyu looked at her puzzled face and suggested.
Trying hard to search for memories, Lin Mengya failed to think of any useful clues, so she could only shake her head.
“No. You know, I wasn’t in charge of the inner courtyard of Lin Family. Now my father is probably the only one knowing my mother’s identity. There’s supposed to be few people knowing what happened more than ten years ago. Besides, my stepmother dismissed plenty of old servants after marrying into our mansion. Even if they are still alive, they should be at least forty or fifty years old now. So I think the one behind the man should have looked for witnesses among them.”
This was the most tricky point. Even Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu had only seen her mother when they were children.
Alas, so tricky.
Seeing Lin Mengya in distress, Long Tianyu couldn’t bear it.
He patted her little head lovingly with his big hand and smiled.
There weren’t many opportunities to baffle her, so he had better not tell her the precautions he had taken.
It was quite a pleasure for him to see her distressed and puzzled face every day.
After taking a rest for the night, they saw Zuo Qiuyu chuckle to himself the next day. Obviously their plan to divert those, who tracked them, worked.
“Why do you show such a wicked smile? Did a beauty throw herself at you last night?”
Lin Mengya couldn’t help teasing Zuo Qiuyu. However, this guy leaned against the window of Lin Mengya’s carriage and whispered.
“Yesterday I saw those pawns directly chase eastward without entering the city. I don’t think they can return in less than three or five months.”
Speaking of the sinister character, Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen could definitely be traced to the same origin.
