Chapter 705 - Listen to Storytelling in a Teahouse (1/2)

Long Tianyu had thought about the doubtful point Lin Mengya mentioned.

Moreover, he heard that the Empress’s followers kept in touch with the Shangguan Family these days, and the Empress got furious in the Imperial Palace. Things might not be as simple as they seemed.

“Anyway, this is a good thing for us. The more they are disturbed by us, the more likely we are to find an opportunity to get rid of them!” Lin Mengya said confidently.

The Shangguan Family’s exterminating the Shen Family was a silly move, which failed to deter those, who were on good terms with the Lin Family. Instead, it aroused their deep hatred for the Shangguan Family.

Now, coupled with the widespread rumor, the Shangguan Family was probably in a terrible fix now.

Lin Mengya had to admit that such a proffered good opportunity was rare.

Staring at the woman in his arms, who seemed to have everything under her control, Long Tianyu was so proud of her.

Anyone targeted by his wife could only be meat on her chopping block.

Now she even learned to torture her target slowly.

Back then, the Shangguan Family had spared no effort to mould public opinions in the Capital City and thus to make his father bring Lin Nansheng, who was accused of treason, to trial.

If it were not for the fact that Lin Mengya sacrificed her reputation to draw everyone’s attention to the two of them, the Shangguan Family probably would have succeeded in their scheme.

Now, the Shangguan Family was also troubled by rumors. The table was turned, and they suffered the consequence of their own action.

“How’s the relationship between you and your father recently?” Lin Mengya changed the topic and asked cautiously.

Hearing this question, Long Tianyu stiffened slightly. He immediately put down his arms, sat down in the chair, where Lin Mengya had sat, grabbed her hand tightly and said, “Don’t worry about me. Everything is under my control. You must have had a hard time.”

Seeing his worried and tender look, Lin Mengya knew that he must have had a hard time these days.

Although it was often said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, anyway his father was the Emperor, who considered power and throne more important than love affairs.

Long Tianyu had contradicted him because of her. If it weren’t for the Emperor’s poor health, he probably would have given up on Long Tianyu and chosen another suitable young prince as his successor.

However, the twisted relationship between Long Tianyu and his father must have made Long Tianyu feel uncomfortable with constraint in all respects.

In fact, it was more difficult for him to act freely.

“Don’t put yourself in a more difficult situation because of me. I understand. We are doing these for the sake of our future, so I will neither misunderstand you nor blame you, do you understand?” Lin Mengya said with sincerity in her fluid eyes.

Long Tianyu quivered slightly and involuntarily pulled her into his arms once again.

Although he had consented to his father’s request, in the past few days he had used all kinds of excuses to put off the consort selection his father intended to hold for him.

He didn’t expect that she had noticed that and understood his feeling.

“I… will never let you down,” he said in a deep voice.

Hearing his oath, Lin Mengya felt so attached to him.

She sighed helplessly in her heart, thinking she would probably be connected with him for the rest of her life.

The two of them snuggled up to each other and silently exchanged their deep affection for each other in the dark.

In this life, even death wouldn’t be able to do them part…

In a teahouse, Lin Mengya, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was drinking tea and listening to storytelling leisurely with her maids.

The storyteller here was the most brilliant with the most vivid descriptions in the entire Capital City.

Although the teahouse was not big, it was crowded with audience, and there was not even an empty seat.

Lin Mengya closed her eyes slightly, listening to the wonderful storytelling with interest.

“Mi… Madam, why haven’t I heard of this story before?” Baizhi, who was a big fan of storytelling, asked and glanced at her master hesitantly.

“Oh, is that so? Maybe it’s a new story. This story is amazing, and I like it very much. Sister Hongyu, let’s reward him handsomely,” Lin Mengya raised her eyes, nodded at the storyteller, who was bowing with joined hands, and said casually.

The storytelling was amazing, while the audience were having a fervent discussion.

Everyone was listening attentively, for fear of missing any part of the story. This story had been repeated several times, but there were still some people willing to listen to it again and again, which showed that the story was wonderful.

Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes again. But after she was absorbed in the storytelling for only a while, a series of noises disturbed their leisure time.
