Chapter 647 - Rescue the Sister and Brother (1/2)

Long Tianyu was behind her, so Lin Mengya knew that no one dared to harm her now. Under the gazes of everyone, she followed Jin Jue to the wing room that was temporarily served as the mourning hall.

At this moment, there were depressed crying all around the room. Jin Wu and his brothers were still in the hall with tearful eyes.

But no one rushed to Lin Mengya or shouted “life for life” again.

“Darling, this is Her Highness Princess Yu.”

Jin Jue quietly pushed away the hands that others reached to support him, walked to the front of the coffins, and led a woman in a white dress over. According to the rules of Jin State, because Miss Jin was unmarried and her brother was under ten years old, their parents and relatives could not wear mourning clothes or hold a grand funeral for them.

Only some loyal servants were wearing mourning clothes. Lin Mengya thought maybe the two coffins would be carried out and buried tonight.

No wonder Jin Jue was so sad. But people couldn’t come back to life after death, so Lin Mengya could only burn some incense sticks to express her sorrow.

“Your Highness, I don’t know you would come. Please forgive me for not greeting you at the gate.”

Madam Jin was about 50 years old. In Lin Mengya’s memory, she was a delicate lady. Unexpectedly, the shock of losing her son and daughter had made her very haggard.

“Madam Jin, I’m sorry for your loss. Prince Yu and I came to visit you, but we didn’t expect… Please take care of yourself. May the young lady and the young master rest in peace.”

Lin Mengya walked two steps forward and held Madam Jin’s shaky body. Madam Jin looked at Lin Mengya, who was a few years younger than her daughter. Tears came out again from her red and swollen eyes.

“My daughter! It’s all my fault! Mom failed to protect you!”

Lin Mengya could understand her self-blame.

The loss of children was the saddest thing for parents.

Madam Jin didn’t blame her. She just grabbed her hand and kept crying, which Jin Jue thought improper. When he was about to ask the servants to take Madam Jin away, Lin Mengya shook her head at him slightly, allowing Madam Jin to lead her to the coffins where the corpses were placed.

“Xin’er, look, Her Highness Princess Yu is here to see you. If you have anything to say to her, speak it out, okay?”

Madam Jin looked so sad, but her grip on Lin Mengya’s hand was very tight. Lin Mengya felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she thought it was just because Madam Jin was overwhelmed with grief.

Unexpectedly, Madam Jin, who had been so sad just now, suddenly pushed her to the coffin in the next moment.

“It’s all your fault! You should be buried with Xin’er!”

Her haggard face looked horrible, revealing murderous intent as if she wanted to die together with Lin Mengya. Lin Mengya felt that Madam Jin was pushing her vigorously. When she almost hit the vermilion coffin, she felt anxious.

But the next second, she shouted as loud as she could.

“Stop! Your daughter seems to be alive!”

Madam Jin stopped pushing Lin Mengya upon hearing her words. Lin Mengya managed to stabilize herself just as she almost hit it.

“What did you say?”

Madam Jin widened her eyes and looked at Lin Mengya as if she could not believe what she had said.

“I said, your daughter and son might not be dead yet. Let me double-check. I’m afraid it will be too late if we don’t hurry up.”

Lin Mengya wanted to get rid of Madam Jin’s grip but found her withered hands were like pliers. She couldn’t break free at all.

“Nonsense! I saw my sister and brother die with my own eyes! Mother, she just wants to cheat us!”

It was Jin Wu again, who desired to stir up trouble all the time.

Lin Mengya cast an angry look at him and said in a deep voice, “Madam Jin, you must know my mother’s fame back then. Also, General Jin Jue, you probably know that the condition of His Majesty did not get better until I entered the palace and treated him. Let go of me! Maybe your daughter and son can be saved!”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Madam Jin hesitated. They were her daughter and son. If there might be a miracle, she would definitely strive for it.

After thinking about it for a moment, she relaxed her grips.

“Mother, don’t listen to her nonsense! Prince Yu is outside! She must be just buying time!”

Jin Wu was eagerly trying to put Lin Mengya to death, but it was not up to him now. He was just a reckless man.

“Darling, please let her try. I am also sad about the death of the two kids. But she is Princess Yu after all. Are you going to let the entire Jin family be buried with the two children?”

The old general Jin Jue might be the only sensible person in this family now. Jin Jue rushed to his wife’s side, persuaded her, and pulled her away from Lin Mengya.

After all, they dared not make too much noise here, because Long Tianyu and Lin Kui were outside. If they hadn’t deliberately used their crying to cover up the quarrel, Long Tianyu would have broken in.
