Chapter 543 - Seeing an Old Friend again (2/2)
Then, Lin Mengya had come up with this trick. Yes, she had made the right bet.
The servant must have thought that they were also ordinary girls, so he had opened the door to let them in.
But they hadn’t expected to meet Hongyu first in this place.
“Currently, I… I’m fine, but you shouldn’t come, princess. People here are bloody and merciless. I’ll think of a method to send the two of you out in a while.”
Hongyu had a bit of anxiety on her face.
She had thought that she should end her whole life here, but unexpectedly, she had even met Lin Mengya.
“Don’t worry. Since I had the way to come in, I naturally have the way to go out, but you said that those people caught you for the sake of asking you to prove I am not the real princess, didn’t you? Why are you here? Why do you serve as the so-called Miss Yu?”
Lin Mengya comforted Lin Mengya slightly and then raised a question about her own confusion.
Hongyu had a wry smile, shook her head, and said, “Things are hard to predict. Since I came here, I’ve been hearing them talk about you. They said that you were so great and even got the approval of the northern clans and many royal family members, and it was quite difficult to overturn your identity, so they shelved this plan, and I was sent here. Since I was a prostitute in the past, I naturally became this Miss Yu. But I was forced and committed lots of sins in the house.”
.
Hongyu sighed time after time. Obviously, she had not wanted to pick up her old job again in the house.
At that time, she had washed off all her previous filth, wanting to start over.
Unexpectedly, she had finally returned to such a shady place after trying different ways to get herself clean.
“It turns out to be like this, but what is the trick of this house? And what is your younger sister plotting to do?”
Lin Mengya had many confusions. Fortunately, Hongyu stood on her side firmly.
Otherwise, she might fall into a difficult situation in this house.
“In fact, this house—”
Just as Hongyu was about to say it, an extremely arrogant voice came from outside.
“Elder sister, I heard that you got two newcomers. I’m really curious and want to see them!”
Hearing the sarcastic move, Lin Mengya knew who had come.
“Damn it! Why is she here?”
Hongyu was panicky. If Lin Mengya was correct, she had seen fear in her eyes.
In theory, she shouldn’t have such a mood because Sumei was her younger sister.
But Hongyu was quite afraid and began smearing the two’s faces panickily with the rouge on the dressing table.
Finally, she signaled to the two to stop talking with her facial expression, then calmed herself down again, and walked outside.
“Why are you here?”
The door was pushed open. Then, a woman in deep purple pushed Hongyu away and sat down at the table in the room.
Lin Mengya could see her clearly through the gaps of the bead curtain in the inner room.
Previously, Sumei had just been a little country girl.
Although she had been a little beautiful, she had just been delicate.
Now, her skin was as white as ice and snow, and the corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows were exquisite.
The deep purple flower pattern in the middle of her forehead made her skin look even whiter.
Wearing gorgeous clothes with heavy makeup, she had a unique seductive charm.
In her eyes, there was no timidity or cunning anymore. Instead, every gesture of hers was with some charms.
Lin Mengya couldn’t help feeling a little surprised. “What has changed her so completely in just a few days?”
“Why can’t I be here? Elder sister, don’t forget that you are just a prostitute who trains these little girls. I am the house steward of the mansion. Where are they? I want to see them.”
There were arrogance and rudeness in her voice. Lin Mengya realized that Sumei had probably come here to find fault in Hongyu on purpose.
.
If this was true, she and Xiu might not have a good result if they were recognized by Sumei.
Hongyu bit her lips and pleaded softly, “Sister, I know you hate me, but this has nothing to do with others. If you want to see them, I’ll ask them out to let you see. What happened in the past is all my fault.”
.
When she found that Hongyu didn’t defend herself anymore, a bit of ridicule appeared in her eyes.
“Since you learned it, you should have assisted me in becoming the concubine of Prince Yu at that time, and it is still not too late now. The master has promised me that as long as I meet his requirement, he will have methods to send me to Prince Yu again. If I don’t like that anymore, I will still have a place to stay in either the Imperial Palace of the Nation of Lintian or the Imperial Palace of Dajin. Speaking of this, I also need to thank you. How could the master know me without you? Forget it. I’m tired and have no mood to see the two girls. You train them carefully. If you don’t want them to be my decoctions’ dregs, you know what you should do.”
Sumei’s tone had somewhat fierceness.
Hongyu cowered a bit but still nodded with difficulty.
Hongyu watched Sumei leave with arrogance. After a long time, she heaved a sigh and closed the door again.
“That was close. We were almost found. Sister Hongyu, something seems to be wrong with your sister.”
Xiu patted her chest and whispered.
Hongyu turned around, and her face was full of helplessness.
