Chapter 644 - Selection of Her Brothers Future Wife (1/2)

Lin Mengya comforted Long Tianyu and tried her best to describe this matter as less important. Only after Long Tianyu confirmed that nothing would happen to his princess did he reluctantly believe her words. However, he was thinking about finding a suitable time to send for Baili Rui who was in a village outside the city. Maybe, this could really keep Lin Mengya safe.

“Qinghu will go with you too, right?” Even though he didn’t want the damn fox to stay by Lin Mengya’s side solemnly.

But for her safety, Long Tianyu still had to give in. Apart from him, there were only Ling Ye and Qinghu whose martial arts were acceptable. Lin Mengya shook her head unexpectedly. She had seen how angry Long Tianyu was when Qinghu followed her around in the mansion.

She didn’t know what kind of hatred these two had had in their previous life. Every time they met in this life, they would be like two fighting cocks and no one would let go of the other.

“Take him. Although I’m outside, I’m afraid I won’t take good care of you. If he is there, you can be safer.”

Long Tianyu was worried, and Lin Mengya felt a little happy and helpless. She was glad that he was worried about her, but sometimes, he was worried about her excessively. For her, this was indeed a little unexpectedly burdensome.

“No. There will be many harem ladies this time. It is inconvenient for him, a man, to show up. Besides, I suspect that the people around the empress might know Qinghu. You know what he did for a living before. If someone finds out, I’m afraid it will not be a good thing for both you and me. The teacher’s matter is already a lesson. If you are not at ease, you might as well ask the teacher to prepare some self-defense things for me. With those things, even if you and Qinghu join forces, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get near me.” Lin Mengya blinked and said playfully.

In the end, Long Tianyu gave in to his princess and reluctantly agreed to her request. However, she secretly just wanted to ask Baili Rui for more poison.

Her safety was his first concern. If something really happened at that time, he would rush in and take her away safely, even if it was against the emperor’s order.

“Alright, I will ask someone to spread the message tonight. By the way, you said last time that you wanted to find a suitable wife for your brother. It just so happens that I have a list here for you to refer to. Besides, most of the ladies from each family will show up at the Buddhist ceremony in the temple. If you like any of them, you might as well check it out yourself.”

Long Tianyu had always taken her words to heart. Therefore, Long Tianyu, who had never cared about other people’s household affairs, had actually mobilized his secret guards to collect information from each family in the past few days.

Baizhi served the hot porridge. She put the dishes on the table before Long Tianyu one by one. Lin Mengya read the information of the ladies, while Long Tianyu ate quietly.

The information of Sanjue Hall had also been delivered to her in the evening. She had to admit that, compared to Long Tianyu’s amateur work, the speed and detail of Sanjue Hall made Lin Mengya very satisfied.

There were many similarities between the two materials. There was only one highlighted name of a lady who received very different reviews. Lin Mengya, after pulling out the information of this woman alone, found out that she was somewhat related to her.

“Xiao Xueyin? Didn’t she Xiao Yixin’s cousin who has been raised in Xiao Mansion since she was a child? Why, do you think she is unreliable? Or, what happened to the Xiao family?”

Lin Mengya looked at the name and remembered a very dignified and beautiful face. In Capital City, someone had made a list of beautiful women for the daughters of various families back then. Lin Mengya was stupid, but she looked elegant and beautiful, which was why she was called Miss Stupid in the first place.

Of course, the ranking of her was just playing tricks on her. Yue Ting and Xiao Xueyin were well-known on the list. Yue Ting was virtuous and gentle, while Xiao Xueyin was innocent and elegant. The two girls were neck to neck, but Xiao Xueyin’s family background was not as prominent as Yue Ting’s, so she fell slightly behind.

She remembered that Xiao Xueyin had a good relationship with Yue Ting. Besides, due to the Xiao family, Xiao Xueyin was one of the girls that her father had set her brother up with. She had met the girl several times before. Although she was not as patient and generous with her as Xiao Yixin, she had never spoken harshly to her.

To be honest, on the list of Sanjue Hall, she paid more attention to Xiao Xueyin. But in Long Tianyu’s file, Xiao Xueyin’s name was painted with a big conspicuous ‘X’ underneath.

It was clear that she must not be considered. Lin Mengya’s curiosity was somehow aroused.

“Xiao family is reliable, and with Xiao Yixin, the relationship between them and us is already unbreakable. As for this girl Xiao Xueyin, according to their report, she recently had a close relationship with a confidante of Qinghan. This morning, Qinghan mentioned to me that the seal he didn’t use frequently was missing. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pretended to accidentally mention the seal to His Majesty. Otherwise, we would be still kept in the dark if something went wrong.” Long Tianyu put down the spoon in his hand and explained it with a solemn expression.

Confidante, the missing seal, and sudden kindness. Even Lin Mengya found these key factors surprisingly weird. Besides, she never believed that there would be such a series of coincidences easily.

She stared at the information and thought for a while before she thoroughly understood the meaning of Long Tianyu.

“Are you afraid that our Lin family will have another spy from the empress?”
