Chapter 596 - Dangerous by Each Step (1/2)

Lin Mengya spoke seriously, and Xiu listened carefully.

After pondering for a while, Xiu came back to her senses and looked at Lin Mengya with a confused expression.

“Do you mean that you want me to go back to help him?”

Lin Mengya nodded. What happened these days had made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

Whether it was the Candle Dragon Cult or the fight for the throne, everything was far from as simple as she had imagined.

At first, she thought that she was a chess player, but she didn’t expect that she had already become a chess piece on the chessboard.

The Lin family had been tied to the chessboard by her. In this case, she had no reason to implicate others to be regarded as a chess piece ​together with her.

“But I want to stay here to help you. Sister, you won’t mind me if I’m here, will you?”

Xiu looked at Lin Mengya nervously. It took her a lot of effort to learn from others that that man cared the most about this sister.

If that person found out that she didn’t help Lin Mengya, he might really hate her.

But now, Lin Mengya said that he might be in trouble.

It was hard for Xiu to make a choice between the two of them.

“Of course not. On the contrary, I think you’re a very capable person. However, your role here is really limited. Why don’t you go back and help him? If possible, may I ask you to bring him a letter for me?”

Xiu nodded desperately, as if she was afraid that Lin Mengya would regret her words the next moment.

Seeing that Xiu had been persuaded by her, Lin Mengya could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

Since she could figure out Xiu’s identity, others might also be able to.

However, according to the current situation, it seemed like the more help she could get, the more dangerous it would be.

In this way, she’d better make herself look less useful.

Perhaps, there would still be some time for a buffer in this way.

Lin Mengya didn’t know what to write in the letter to Xiaoyu.

He hadn’t sent a letter to her for a long time. Of course, if it weren’t for the critical situation, Xiaoyu would definitely not make her be so worried about him.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Mengya could only write a few words in the letter.

“I’m alright now. Don’t worry about me. Take care.”

It was just a few simple sentences, but the meaning behind them was beyond words.

Xiu left quietly.

To the public, she was just claiming that Xiu was out looking for medicinal herbs.

On the other side, although the real Doctor Gu had come back, they still needed a large number of medicinal herbs.

Many people had joined the team in the search for herbs. Therefore, Xiu would not attract other people’s attention if she joined them.

The only thing that was inconvenient for Lin Mengya was that from today on, she would have to face Little Bean, who only knew how to eat and sleep alone.

Xiu’s uncle must have sent someone to follow them. Moreover, they had a unique way to contact each other before.

It wouldn’t take long for Xiu to set foot on her way home.

Lin Mengya held the little fellow in her arms and looked into the distance, lost in thought.

Recently, she always felt like she had no one to rely on whether in the Lin family or in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

It was a familiar place for her, but when she thought about it at this moment, she felt strange about it.

Lin Mengya furrowed her delicate brows subconsciously.

She did not notice that her eyes, which were full of worry, were filled with her gloom at this moment.

“If you don’t want Xiu to leave, you can still get her back now.”

Xiao Yixin’s gentle voice sounded behind Lin Mengya.

She turned around. The light blurred Lin Mengya’s facial features. However, her firm attitude did not change at all.

“Everyone has a suitable position. Xiu’s place is not here.”

Lin Mengya didn’t find Xiao Yixin annoying, nor did she like him.

Indeed, for her in the past, Xiao Yixin was a gentle brother. Even if he broke off their engagement, she had thought that their engagement was just a wishful idea between the parents of the Lin and the Xiao families.

However, for her now, Xiao Yixin was just a familiar stranger.

In addition, what Madam Wu had said before her death made Lin Mengya alert to these aristocratic families again.

She had never believed all the words of Madam Wu, but it was indeed a reminder for her.

She had to figure out the key that the Candle Dragon Cult had chosen to take action in Yun State.

“That’s right. What about your position? And what about mine?”

The latter half of her sentence was more like talking to herself.

Xiao Yixin lowered his head and looked at his hands in confusion.

He had thought that he had regained his responsibilities. However, when he saw that Lin Mengya and his sister-in-law were besieged, his mind seemed to have changed again.

If one day, the people he tried his best to protect would turn against him because of other things, would he feel betrayed again?

The doubts that had previously been suppressed in his heart once again surged up.
