Chapter 645 - Visit to the Jin Family (2/2)
Lin Mengya was the opposite of a bully. Especially she would feel a little at a loss to face a completely innocent person like Miss Jin.
The carriage finally arrived at the Jin family, but after Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu got out of the carriage, they found that the door was locked. Lin Kui knocked on the door, and it was rare that there was no concierge to respond. The couple glanced at each other. Even if the Jin family was not at home, there should be a concierge at the door at least.
Lin Kui knocked hard three more times. The door that was originally closed opened a small gap at this moment.
“Your Highness, this—” Lin Kui turned around to consult Long Tianyu.
The latter thought for a while, but could only nod. They came a little presumptuously, but the Jin family was so abnormal. If they didn’t go in and take a look, they would be really worried.
With the prince’s consent, Lin Kui cautiously opened the gate of Jin family. After confirming that there was no danger inside, he returned to the prince and the princess.
“Your Highness, it’s silent inside and there is no one.”
It was strange. Lin Mengya frowned slightly and looked at the gate of Jin family that was half-open. In fact, the so-called feud between the Jin family and the Lin family was just a result of balancing the relationship in the imperial court or the military power. It was just a balancing tactic of the emperor after all. Besides, the situations of Jin family and Lin family were very similar. From the generation of her grandfather, they had been fierce generals who competed against each other.
Now in the generation of her father and elder brother, they were still in fierce competition. It was just that the Lin family was more powerful now. But with the attention of the Jin family, if the Lin family became too arrogant, the Jin family could immediately replace it. This was the real intention of the emperors of the past dynasties.
But today, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had reached the atrium of the front yard, but they still hadn’t seen anyone. Could it be that the Jin family had moved away and didn’t live here anymore?
“Look, the soil of the flower pots in the yard is still moist. There should still be people living here.”
Long Tianyu and Lin Kui have also noticed the details she noticed. Besides, the front yard was very clean, and it didn’t look like there was no one to take care of it. It was just that it was already very rude to rush into someone’s house like this. If they broke into the backyard and disturbed the female members of the family, it would be utterly inappropriate.
When the two were hesitating, a servant in black cloth suddenly walked out from the corner door on the right. But this man who looked like he was in his forties came out with teary eyes. He was very sad. He was crying while walking. Lin Mengya glanced at Long Tianyu, who immediately sent Lin Kui to come forward and ask.
Finally, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu learned why the front yard of the Jin family was so quiet.
“Your Highness, I’m sorry I didn’t know you were coming. Please forgive me.”
When he saw Lin Kui who suddenly appeared in front of him, the servant thought it was a thief in the house, so he went to catch Lin Kui. But he was no match for Lin Ku. Lin Kui soon overpowered him. Anyway, they explained it clearly. The servant was convinced after seeing the manners of Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu.
With his sad look, Lin Mengya found it hard to blame him. After all, they broke into the house in the first place, and it was not his fault.
“It’s okay. Get up and talk. What happened to your house? No one is guarding it in the yard, and even you are so sad.”
Lin Mengya was dignified and beautiful, and her tone was gentle and peaceful, which immediately calmed the servant. After saluting her, he lowered his head and sobbed, “Thank you, Your Highness. Well, my young master has suffered one calamity after another today. My master is really sad, so he was in no mood to welcome you two.”
The servant’s words surprised Lin Mengya secretly.
“Take your time. What happened? Forget it. Can you take me and the prince over?”
Since something had happened, she and Long Tianyu couldn’t just sit by and watch.
Long Tianyu agreed. Since they ran into it, they should lend a helping hand.
