Chapter 765 Hide Her True Self by Pretending to Be Ambitious

However, at the thought that she was trying to be modest, Xiaoyu immediately intended to mention her “great achievements”.

Lin Mengya immediately changed the topic. If she let Xiaoyu go on talking about this, she would feel too ashamed to continue staying here.

She said, “In fact, I come here for Xiaoyu indeed. Madame, you also know that there are multiple forces in a disordered state in the Lieyun Empire at present. Xiaoyu’s force is not the strongest one, but it can enable him to protect himself. Nevertheless, he still lacks something crucial. Although I have no talent, I accidentally obtained the ability to help Xiaoyu get the crucial thing. Nevertheless, Xiaoyu is the son of you and His Majesty after all. It’s up to you two to decide whether to let him do that or not.”

Madame Jingrou glanced at Lin Mengya, then at her silly son who fixed his eyes on Lin Mengya, sighing secretly in her heart.

She only heard that the woman who saved Xiaoyu was of extraordinary origin, but she didn’t expect the woman to be not only bold and insightful but also ambitious.

She was not sure if it was a blessing or a curse for her son to have such a woman around.

“Uh… I can’t make the decision. I’ll invite His Majesty over to talk it over. Miss Lin, no, I’d better call you Miss Helan. Since Yu’er has brought you here, you are naturally our distinguished guest. If you don’t mind, can you stay in my Fengyu Court for a few days?” Madame Jingrou said.

How could Lin Mengya turn down such a polite invitation?

After exchanging glances with Xiaoyu, she nodded.

Madame Jingrou, who didn’t dare to treat Lin Mengya lightly, immediately instructed Ningqiu beside her to take Lin Mengya to have a rest.

After that, only Madame Jingrou and Xiaoyu were left in the main hall.

Staring at her son lovingly, Madame Jingrou noticed that he seemed to have inherited his father’s domineering air despite his young age.

He was her only child as well as one of the biggest motivations enabling her to endure the hardships over the years.

But now, her son’s mind was occupied with such a woman.

She would prefer that Yu’er fell in love with a woman who had no talent or virtue but was dignified with regular features.

“Yu’er, I like Miss… Miss Helan, but she doesn’t seem to be an ordinary girl. I think it’s a good thing for a girl to be smart, but she is too smart, which may make her an unsuitable wife for you. Do you agree?” Madame Jingrou said.

She could not come straight to the point when talking with her son.

She still remembered when Yu’er just returned to the Lieyun Empire, he was cold to everyone and never showed a smile.

Only when he received Miss Lin’s letters did his face soften a little.

She heard from those who came back from the Capital City of the Jin State with Xiaoyu that only Miss Lin was able to make him obedient.

As a mother, she only felt regretful and upset, but she failed to find her way into Yu’er’s heart.

Now that their relationship finally eased, she would not let anything turn Yu’er against her.

After seeing Lin Mengya off, Lin Zhongyu, who was known as Wanyan Yu now, turned to look at his mother with a serious look.

He asked, “Mother, are you afraid that she will take control of the imperial court like the late Empress and cause chaos in our country?”

Madame Jingrou intended to deny it, but she suddenly remembered that her son took after her and the Emperor in his temperament.

She could only nod slowly, thinking that a woman who was too tough and smart was no less than a disaster to the royal family.

Moreover, judging from Yu’er’s attitude towards Miss Lin, if he married her in the future, she would definitely be his legal wife.

Madame Jingrou couldn’t let Yu’er take such a great risk.

“Mother, rest assured. She will never do that. If she wants to do that, I’m willing to give her everything I have. Your worry is overblown. My sister is very smart. She expressed her ambition eagerly just in order to avoid building close bonds with you,” Xiaoyu said and shook his head bitterly.

He knew about his sister very well.

When he first met her, he felt that she was like a fairy who came from the ninth heaven and occasionally descended to the mortal world so that he had the pleasure of meeting her.

Back then, she was indescribably gorgeous, both lively and gentle.

But this time, when he met her again, he discovered that although she still treated him as before, she was aloof and tried to alienate herself from others.

A smart person like her must have seen through his mother’s perseverant and cautious disposition, so she put on an aggressive and ambitious look.

Only by displeasing his mother could she avoid building close bonds with his mother.

What on earth had happened in the past half a year so that his sister became like this?

Wanyan Yu suddenly felt regretful. If he hadn’t come back at that time, would he have been able to go through all this with his sister?

“That… that’s what she’s up to? Xiaoyu, did I do anything wrong so that Miss Lin misunderstood me?” Madame Jingrou asked.
