Chapter 594 - Stall for Time (1/2)

Lin Mengya stared at Madam Wu fixedly with her eyes as sharp as knives.

Madam Wu thought that it was just Lin Mengya’s counterattack before she broke down.

“That’s because I was plotted against by Madam Xiao. Otherwise, how could I intended to kill my baby?”

Her explanation was so far-fetched, but it sounded plausible at the moment.

Lin Mengya suddenly sneered and looked at Madam Wu in front of her with interest.

“Plotted against by Madam Xiao? You kept saying that it was Madam Xiao who plotted against you. However, not to mention that Madam Xiao didn’t have the motive to do that, even if she really made you crazy, it should be a mother’s instinct and subconscious reaction to protect her child. Think of Madam Xiao’s reaction just now. In the crowd, she was also helpless. However, she risked her life to protect her child. Later, she mistakenly believed that her child was thrown on the ground and fainted in a moment of desperation. However, I remember that after you woke up, you showed no concern for your child. Later, you even asked me to take care of your child. I’m wondering why you are such a cruel mother if the child is really yours.”

Although the word “mother” was unfamiliar in Lin Mengya’s memory, when she saw that her mother made all kinds of plans for her and her brother’s future, she thought that the maternal love, which deepened and accumulated over the years, could not be explained clearly with only a few words.

But there was one thing that Lin Mengya was absolutely sure of.

In the situation that day, any other mother would definitely risk her life to protect her child.

Or, after waking up, she would confirm that her child was safe and sound at the first time.

After connecting what had happened before, Lin Mengya found that the flaws of Madam Wu’s explanation could no longer be concealed.

“Your Highness, you’re being irrational. Of course, I care about my child. When Doctor Gu insisted on burying my child alive, I would rather pay for my child’s life with my life. You said these only in order to get Madam Xiao off the hook. I was hurt by her and you didn’t catch the culprit at that time. Of course, I was scared, so I entrusted my child to your care. I don’t think that’s enough to prove anything.”

Since Lin Mengya had her argument, Madam Wu certainly had her excuses.

However, the current public opinion still tended to support Madam Wu.

In the current situation, no matter what Lin Mengya said, Madam Xiao was unable to clear her name.

But Lin Mengya was not anxious. Or in fact, she didn’t care about it at all.

“Oh? So that’s how it is. I misunderstood you. Since you say you are the child’s mother, so be it.”

Lin Mengya did not argue and even did not lodge the accusation that she had prepared.

She directly said that she was convinced by Madam Wu, which was unexpected to everyone.

To be honest, even Madam Wu didn’t expect that. She was stunned on the spot and looked at Lin Mengya in confusion.

It took her a long while to return to herself.

“What do you mean, Your Highness…”

“I didn’t mean anything. This child can’t talk now, so it’s hard to tell who his mother is. But there’s one thing confusing me. You said that Madam Xiao plotted against you and put you in this situation, right?”

Unexpectedly, the problem returned to the beginning.

Madam Wu nodded, but somehow had a sense of foreboding.

Lin Mengya had never been a person who easily admitted defeat, especially in such a situation.

Unexpectedly, before she could straighten out her thinking, after Lin Mengya raised her hand, a girl immediately rushed to her with tears.

“Cousin, it’s great to see that you’re all right. I’ve been worried about you and my nephew these days.”

The girl seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although she was a little timid, she was able to speak clearly.

Madam Wu suddenly froze, and then grabbed the girl’s hand and said with an unnatural expression.

“Oh, it’s you, cousin. Why are you here?”

The girl said after wiping her tears.

“Your husband sent someone to pick me up and asked me to come here and accompany you. By the way, cousin, what are you doing now?”

The girl stood behind Madam Wu timidly. After the excitement of meeting her cousin, the girl realized that the current situation seemed to be weird.

Therefore, she talked in an increasingly low voice.

With no idea what Lin Mengya was up to, Madam Wu subconsciously stood in front of her cousin with a hint of surprise and suspicion in her eyes.

“Nothing serious, Your Highness. She’s indeed my cousin. But I’m wondering what you want me to explain.”

Lin Mengya suddenly smiled and somehow looked relieved.

Not only Madam Wu but also those around her thought that Princess Yu was playing a juggling trick because she was at her wit’s end.

However, just as she was smiling, a figure appeared in front of her in a hurry.
