Chapter 264 Always Standing on the One Side

The whole atmosphere changed, and anger could be seen in Lin Mengya’s eyes. No wonder Concubine De had rushed over here, even Jiang Ruqin, as well. They came here for the sole purpose of insulting her and her brother.

When she was about to retort, Lin Nansheng pressed her arms tightly. She saw him struggling to suppress his anger. He was not that kind person who could bear to hear others insulting Yue Ting.

But he did not show it, because he did not want to give them the opportunity to make things difficult for Lin Mengya, in future.

Lin Mengya comforted him and then stood up. Lin Mengya was a proud lady, how could she be willing to accept Jiang Ruqin’s insult?

“Shameless? Is there anyone better than you? Cousin, is it easy to climb up onto my husband’s bed?”

She raised her eyebrows. Only one sentence managed to freeze Jiang Ruqin’s complacent face instantly.

When it came to bawling, Lin Mengya could go several rounds with those old women in the markets. How could she be scared of such a fragile lady.

At the moment, she went into the quarrel directly and openly. It was a piece of cake to quarrel with Jiang Ruqin!

“You! Auntie, look at her! So rude. How could such a discourteous woman be Princess Yu!”

Jiang Ruqin started to act shamelessly, shaking Concubine De’s arms, not willing to spare Lin Mengya.

“Do you have the right to judge me? Jiang Ruqin, since I was born, I never saw a more shameless person than you. Oh, I heard you’re engaged, right? Do you want me to have a word with your fiance’s family, and tell them about those dirty things you did with my husband?”

Lin Mengya did not step back. All the vulgar words, which should have come out of shrews’ mouths, issued forth from her mouth.

Jiang Ruqin immediately kept quiet. Her original plan was to just sneer at Lin Mengya. She forgot that the consequences would be terrible, if those gossips about Long TianhaoLong Tianyu and her, were heard by her fiance.

She no longer placed any hope in Long TianhaoLong Tianyu. But Jiang Ruqin could not reconcile herself to the fact that Long TianhaoLong Tianyu would stay with such a woman forever.

Concubine De did not say anything before that, but at the moment, her face turned stormy.

She looked fiercely at Lin Mengya, and calmly said.

“See?The Lin family is such a good teacher. In my presence, your sister started to make an unreasonable scene. I can’t bear to have such a daughter-in-law. Mr. Lin, what do you think?”

Her harsh question finally exposed her purpose.

Lin Mengya was close to dominating the whole Prince Yu’s Mansion. Looking at all of this, Concubine De could not reconcile herself to it.

So here they were. Obviously, they wanted to deal with Lin Mengya, through the Lin family.

They thought that the Lin family was a traditional and principled family. So Lin Muzhi would not allow his rebellious daughter to act so crazily.

Lin Nansheng became irritated. He looked at Lin Mengya, and then averted his eyes to look at Concubine De, feeling as if he was in a pickle.

“General Lin, say something. Why are you not saying anything? Aren’t all of you capable of speaking?”

Jiang Ruqin thought of her and Concubine De getting the upper hand, and cracked a mocking smile.

But suddenly, Lin Nansheng stood up, and his eyes brimmed with coldness.

“To my surprise, I originally thought that Concubine De was a kind and tolerant madame. I really saw your true colors today. When you asked to marry my sister, what did you say then? I’m sorry, but you are rude and aggressive, and even shrews are much nobler than you! If you don’t like my sister, just tell His Majesty and ask for a divorce. But Concubine De, you’re a concubine, how could you allow your relative to insult an official? I suppose, she must be insulting the court, as well as His Majesty! Our family never taught my sister this. I’ll take my sister back to our home now. Tomorrow, I would report to His Majesty, and ask for a divorce for my sister! And, I will also report to His Majesty about Miss Jiang’s rude words! Mengya, let’s go!”

No one could have imagined that Lin Nansheng, a valiant man, would shield his sister and stand by her side, so firmly.

He was not going to be defeated by these women.

Lin Mengya smiled slightly. Concubine De had really made a wrong move.

Since the reign of the first founder of Dajin, the Lin family was famous for shielding their people. There was a rumor that the first founder of Lin family, almost drew upon the first emperor, in order to protect his younger brother.

So every emperor refused to make trouble with the Lin family. And the habit of shielding their family, was not forgotten from generation to generation.

Every emperor knew clearly that as long as they did not do anything to the Lin family, the Lin family would be loyal to them forever. The Lin family might always shield the wrong person, but they were very strict. Some of their punishment would be harsher than that of the national law.

Therefore, late emperors often turned a blind eye to any small mistakes made by the Lin family.

But only the Empress and the Crown Prince were bold enough to offend the Lin family, perhaps because they lived a peaceful life for too long. They were seeking death.

“Fine! I know what the Lin family taught you! One day, I will pay a visit to your home personally, and look at how General Lin teaches his son and daughter!”

Concubine De was furious and her face was contorted with rage. But since she was the one who started the trouble against the Lin family, she deserved it.

“Take care, Your Highness.”

This was not rehearsed. Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng both, said it at the same time. Concubine De felt even more irritated.

She went off in a huff, and her people also left. Looking at all of this, Lin Mengya burst into laughter.

“Brother, you’re the same as what you were, in our childhood days. You always became a fighter, when I was bullied.”

As a child, Lin Mengya often got bullied because of her low IQ, although she had a lovely face. She still remembered her brother getting badly battered, as he tried to protect her.

“Hey!” Lin Nansheng patted her on the head and said with a doting face, “Stop talking like that. Little girl, are your sure that you want to stay here and put up with them? Do you want me to talk with father, and bring you back to our home? Concubine De is not a kind woman, can you handle it?”

Lin Nansheng’s worry was reasonable. Concubine De acted so arrogantly, but she was Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s mother. Long TianhaoLong Tianyu might not favor Lin Mengya, when the counterpart was his mother.

But Lin Mengya just smiled and looked had a mysterious look on her face.

” You’re wrong on this point. I’m sure that Long TianhaoLong Tianyu would defend me. Don’t worry, brother. From the day I became Princess Yu, anyone who wants to do something to me, has to give up that idea.”

Lin Nansheng wanted to say something, but stopped. Looking at her calmness, he had to shake his head.

“Fine, no matter what, she’s his princess now. Even though I want to protect her, everything would be more difficult than before.”

“Alright, but don’t overdo it, nor get yourself wronged, understand?”

Everything he wanted to say, was in that sentence. Lin Mengya nodded. At least, she had to pretend that that everything was going well, in his presence.

After seeing her brother off, Lin Mengya sat on the bed in the main room, looking off into the distance. Nobody knew what she was thinking about.

The sun set and it was dusk soon. Under the roof, a row of red lanterns were lit up, swaying in the wind, looking gloomy and frightful.

A figure in red flashed by and a pretty face could be seen, with hair blown by the wind . There was rouge on the face, and the eyebrows were drawn. Anyone who saw the face, might fall under its spell.

Lin Mengya frowned. The fragrance of the powder was so strong that she wanted to cough. She turned around to eye the man in front of her. “Well, he looks really seductive.”

“Little girl, am I pretty? Those gourds will lose their jobs, when I’m still in the society.”

Only Qinghu could speak in such an annoyingly narcissistic tone. No one else could.

But in fact, he was beautiful and feminine. Every move of his was gently seductive.

However, he looked at her too openly. Lin Mengya felt an aversion to it.

“Well, stop now. You’re a good man, not a seductive one.”

Covering his mouth and smiling slightly, Qinghu shook his head in regret.

Lin Mengya did not get what he meant at all. Just now, Qinghu made goo-goo eyes at her, that would have made others shiver. But he was tired of his appearance. Then, he returned to grin as cheekily as usual, and hang around Lin Mengya. He must be looking forward to a reward.

“Have you done the things I asked you to do?”

Any demands of Lin Mengya could not be refused by Qinghu, so he nodded pleasantly, and smiled like a cat who just ate the cream.

“Don’t worry. At dawn tomorrow, I am sure that everyone in the Capital City will know about it. We just need to wait for the show to start.”

Although Qinghu’s personality was questionable, it was undeniable that he was capable and could always do something well.

Lin Mengya snickered and nodded. She was really looking forward to the show.

“Come on, melon seeds, peanuts, refreshments, and a pot of jasmine tea. Tomorrow, everyone here will get a day off. I’m happy now. Two pieces of silver for everyone to buy anything you want!”

Immediately, a cheer came from the yard.

Every servant was thinking that it would be better if Master was so happy everyday.
