Chapter 645 - Visit to the Jin Family (1/2)

Long Tianyu had thought that Lin Mengya found it hard to talk about it because of the incompatible relationship between the Lin family and the Jin family. He volunteered to do so, but it made the smile on Lin Mengya’s face even more hesitant and weird.

“Actually… actually… General Jin is not so stubborn. It’s just a matter of laughing and making up between my father and him. Actually, it’s just that the eldest lady of the Jin family and I have some old grudges…” Lin Mengya smiled awkwardly. She had almost forgotten all about it.

Maybe it was karma.

She had thought that she and the lady of the Jin family would not be in contact with each other anymore. Unexpectedly, now the lady of the Jin family had become the first choice for her brother’s future wife. Was this retribution? Or was it fate?

Anyway, Lin Mengya was thinking angrily, if Miss Jin saw her, would she stab her with a knife?

“What’s wrong with you again?” Long Tianyu had had some experience with the temperament of his wife.

She looked cute and gentle, but she never stopped thinking about how to play pranks on others. He had thought that based on the characters of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, Lin Mengya might have been stimulated on their wedding and suddenly changed. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was just some habits she had developed since childhood. It seemed that his princess still had many secrets g for him to discover.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Well, you know, I was so naive back then, and I didn’t remember anything. It was about ten years ago. Originally, she and Yue Ting were both the daughter-in-law candidates of my father’s choice. At the mansion that day, Yue Ting and Xiao Xueyin behaved very well, but… Miss Jin had a little accident.”

Lin Mengya tried her best to play it down.

But Long Tianyu didn’t believe her. Looking at her evasive eyes, he was afraid it was definitely not as simple as she said.

“If you don’t tell the truth, how can I help you?” Long Tianyu deliberately put on a look of embarrassment. Lin Mengya could only sigh secretly, lowered her head, and said in a frustrated manner.

“It’s nothing. I just accidentally dropped a firework on Miss Jin. Then I accidentally pushed her into the small pond and she almost drowned…” Her voice was getting lower.

The more Long Tianyu listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it.

“You mean, you dropped a firework on Miss Jin? Then why did you push her into the pond again?” Long Tianyu acted more like a patriarch who was forcing the kid who had done something wrong to tell the crime process.

Lin Mengya glanced at Long Tianyu with embarrassment, and then replied in a low voice, “The fireworks burned her clothes. I pushed her into the pond to save her life. But she almost drowned…” It was the first time Long Tianyu had heard such explosive news. He suddenly remembered that it seemed that Miss Jin had never left home since she was ten years old.

Could it be because of her? No wonder she didn’t dare to go to Jin’s family to propose marriage. He could imagine that if an ordinary woman made such a big scene on a formal occasion where many seniors were present, she probably wouldn’t have the courage to even step out of her room, let alone get married. He was speechless. She looked aggrieved. It was obvious that Miss Jin was the victim. Why did she look like one?

“You don’t have to feel guilty anymore. I believe it was just an honest mistake. I will pay them a visit in a few days. I believe that General Jin will not blame you. However, Jin family is very fond of this young lady. I think you still have to visit her in person to show respect.”

He patted Lin Mengya on the head with his big palm. Even though she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to obediently nod.

In the final analysis, the incident was her fault. If she blamed others blindly, it would be a bit too much. Anyway, such a thing was ancient history. If Miss Jin didn’t forgive her, then she would sincerely apologize to her, or ask Miss Jin to push her into the water too. In short, Long Tianyu was right. The daughter of Jin family was indeed the best marriage partner.

She didn’t mind being humiliated for the happiness of her brother! She had just promised Long Tianyu to visit the Jin family with him the day before, and Long Tianyu, who knew Lin Mengya very well, scheduled their visit at noon the next day to ensure that his wife would have plenty of time to visit the Jin family with him. Lin Mengya looked at the servants put some valuable gifts into the carriage one by one, dumbfounded

In the end, Hongyu and the other girls put their newly dressed master into the carriage as they snickered. Lin Mengya couldn’t even get angry, because it was caused by her after all. Despite Long Tianyu’s noble status, he was willing to condescend to make peace with the Jin family for her brother’s marriage. How could she find fault with such a sacrifice?

It was just—

When she thought of facing the innocent girl dragged down by her in her memory, heavy guilt made Lin Mengya bury her head in her arms. Her evasive gesture was amusing to Long Tianyu, who was riding in the same carriage. His princess, a courageous woman who had stood up to the empress and Crown Prince, was now afraid of the young lady of the Jin family.

Such a difference was surprising to him.
