Chapter 468 - Surprise Visit (2/2)

“Cousin Yu, do you know if Zuo Yuanyi and his younger get along?”

Lin Mengya must have thought of some good ideas to have asked such an intended question.

“We’ve not so much heard that he has a brother. Oh yes, I heard that the second son of Prince Qing was an adopted child. He was a capable and intelligent person.

Zuo Qiuyu’s information allowed Lin Mengya to fish out something crucial.

This was going to make things much easier. Here was the eldest son of the prince who only knew how to enjoy life, and there was the capable adopted son. It was almost impossible for them to be on good terms.

“I would like to meet this second son of Prince Qing personally. Rest assured that I would substantiate my statements to him. You just have to make sure Zuo Yuanyi is under control, then I’ll be able to get through this in one piece.”

If there was some form of conflict between the two brothers, she could simply make use of this to work it in their favor.

If there was no conflict, could she not create some?

Anyway, they were all part of Prince Qing’s family and would be very similar. What good could come out of them?

While Long Tianyu still felt uneasy about Lin Mengya’s suggestion, Lin Mengya had insisted to go ahead and they could not come out with a better solution at the moment.

They had no other choice but to let Lin Mengya take the risk. They agreed that if Lin Mengya did not return after ten minutes, Long Tianyu would go out in search of her.

After some instructions, Lin Mengya straightened her clothes and went out of the room with Baishao.

The second they stepped out of the reception room, an observant servant quickly came up to attend to them.

Seeing that it was the two beauties instead of his master, the servant was no doubt perplexed.

“His highness is busy now. Please do not disturb him. If you ruin his business, you’ll get in trouble,” said Lin Mengya.

The ferocious expression on Lin Mengya’s face quickly convinced the confused servants.

Usually, almost all the women whom the son of Prince Qing brought back would be weeping.

However, those women would eventually stay on to wait on him.

All women would be attracted by the riches of their master’s family once they found out about it.

This woman today seemed to carry the air of the mistress.

The servants might not be happy, but they would not dare to say anything.

After all, no one would dare to provoke the woman whom their master fancied.

“Where’s your master’s younger brother? Your master can’t afford the time and effort to attend to him, so I’ll go meet him on your master’s behalf. Lead the way, lest your master should become impatient.”

Lin Mengya sized up the situation and pretended to be growing impatient too.

The servants did not dare to delay further but immediately led the way.

Although the guest was supposed to be the second son of Prince Qing, Lin Mengya knew she had guessed correctly when she entered the room that was plain-looking.

Zuo Yuanyi was definitely not expecting his adopted younger brother, seeing that he was not even served any tea.

Seated upright in the room was the second son of Prince Qing. In contrast with the foppish Zuo Yuanyi, the man in the room was most ordinary.

However, compared to Zuo Yuanyi, he definitely appeared much more sensible and mature.

He was dressed plainly like an ordinary rich man’s son, neither was he wearing any gold or silver.

“You must be the second son of Prince Qing. Coincidentally, your brother is busy with some business and won’t be seeing any guests. You may want me to convey your message if it’s important?”

Lin Mengya, together with Baishao, made sure they kept a safe distance from the second son of Prince Qing.

It was only at this moment that the man lifted his eyes to her.

With just one look at his eyes, Lin Mengya could tell that he was no ordinary man.

There was a prosaic look in his eyes and there was an absence of any kind of emotions.

Although there was a subtle look of disdain on his face, his eyes did not betray any emotions.

He was certainly a master, one who was in a different league than Zuo Yuanyi.

“Business? What kind of business would this brother of mine, who leads a life of debauchery, be doing? Please convey my message to him, telling him that he must not leave out anything my father, the prince had instructed him to do.”

There was a coldness in his voice.

It was obvious that he made no effort in hiding his attitude towards his elder brother. Lin Mengya could tell there were deep grievances between the two brothers.

“I’ll pass the message for you. If there’s nothing else, second prince, I’ll take my leave.”

It was merely a short face-to-face meeting, but Lin Mengya managed to gather the information she needed.

“Hold on,” to Lin Mengya’s surprise, the second son of Prince Qing called out to her.

Without batting an eyelid, Lin Mengya turned to him with no fear in her eyes.

“Why have I never seen you in the mansion before? Where are you from? What do you do?”

The second son of Prince Qing held his gaze on her as he sized her up.

Lin Mengya naturally knew that her strange face would easily stir up suspicion.

Smiling, she answered saying, “I’m the new girl whom your brother brought into the mansion, so naturally, and you wouldn’t have met me.”
