Chapter 112 Shameless to the Extreme

However, how could she aggravate Elder Sister Yueting's wound at this moment?

"Get out of my way! Yueting, tell me the truth. Why was your underwear being passed around in the hands of the guards? The reputation of the Yue Family has been tarnished by you!"

Mrs. Yue pushed away Lin Zhongyu, who was trying to stop her and stomped into the tent.

She had attracted many people's attention by making a racket a moment ago.

At this moment, Lin Mengya spotted a group of people outside the tent, gesticulating.

What kind of mother was she? Her daughter had been violated and it seemed that she was trying to broadcast it, fearing that no one would know about it.

"Aunt Yue, it's not right to wash the family's dirty linen in public. Please stop broadcasting it."

Lin Mengya gave Mrs. Yue a cold look. She had never met a mother like her.

"Humph! Didn't you claim earlier that Yueting is engaged to your elder brother? Then she's not part of the Yue Family, but Lin Family. Don't tell me that the Lin Family is thinking of renouncing her as your daughter-in-law?"

Did such a mother even exist in the world?

Could it be that she was abandoning her kinship for the benefits the Queen promised her?

A fiery rage rose within Lin Mengya. It was all her fault. She had known that Elder Sister Yueting's mother meant evil to Yueting, but she did not bring Yueting to her place on time.

"Alright, Yueting is no longer your daughter from today on. I'll bring her away with me. Step aside."

As Lin Mengya helped Elder Sister Yueting, who was almost paralyzed on the floor, up onto her feet, Lin Mengya felt she was almost going to explode from rage.

She could see the tears in Elder Sister Yueting's eyes. She was bowing her head as the gesticulations and rebukes all around her seemed to weigh heavily down on her, so much that she felt as if she was going to collapse.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Outside the tent, Lin Zhongyu could be heard bellowing at those standing outside and instantly, most of them shut their mouth.

The noise finally died down after the handsome young man shouted with severe tone in his voice. There was finally peace and quiet.

"Let's go, Elder Sister Yueting."

After helping Elder Sister Yueting put on her coat properly, Lin Mengya could no longer bear to let her Elder Sister Yueting suffer further wrong.

Lin Mengya's delicate body supported the Yueting's entire weight as they got up. As they passed a furious Mrs. Yue, Lin Mengya gave her a cold shoulder.

"Don't you think I will let this person who had shamed Elder Sister Yueting go free. Remember that we, the Lin Family are full of ferocious wolves. We would not give up fighting our enemies to the end."

The look in indifference in her eyes was chilling.

She might have appeared to be a delicate girl, but at that moment, she was like a sharpened sword. Even Mrs. Yue was taken aback and retreated her steps at Lin Mengya's words.

"You... How dare you speak to me in this manner! Do you really think that Prince Yu is able to protect you?"

Although Mrs. Yue could feel the chilling look in Lin Mengya's eyes, she tried to stand up to Lin Mengya by puffing up her chest.

"It is not something for you to worry about, whether I'm protected or not. We, the Lin Family, will not allow this to pass so easily. Mrs. Yue, I don't care if this had to do with you, but let me tell you, you won't be able to withstand the fiery fury of the Lin Family."

The Lin Family was a crouching tiger in the imperial courts. It had always upheld the principle of quietly meting out justice.

Even if things were concerning Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu, they would have to keep quiet under the authority of their strict father.

The Lin Family was the only noble family which had continued for a hundred years from the time the nation of Dajin was established.

Dajin's military power had always been held by the Lin Family since the time the dynasty began.

Regardless of how the emperor changed over time, the Lins never fell throughout their reign. This was sufficient to prove the formidable power of the Lins.

This was the reason the Queen had exhausted every means to marry her own younger sister into the Lin Family.

Of course, one of the major reasons was also to have control over the Lin Family.

However, the low-profile manner in which the Lins handle matters resulted in many people forgetting how glorious the Lins were to be in control of the nation's entire army.

Even the Queen might not be spared the fiery fury if she provoked the Lin Family to anger!

"Humph! I almost forgot if you didn't raise this up. Do you really think the Lin Family could still be outrageously savage for much longer?"

There was a tone of schadenfreude in Mrs. Yue's voice, but she immediately shut her mouth when Lin Mengya gave her a sideway glare.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya immediately perked up her alert when she got the hidden meaning in Mrs. Yue's words.

"What do you mean?"

Mrs. Yue averted her eyes from Lin Mengya's gaze; however, the look of contempt at the corner of her eyes betrayed her.

When Lin Mengya finally helped Yueting out of the tent, supporting her, the crowd outside had by then scattered.

Nevertheless, there were a dozen imperial guards surrounding Lin Zhongyu. As Lin Mengya took a glance, she realized that some of the guards looked rather familiar.

It was the guards whom Long Tianhao had arranged to stay by her side.

"Princess!"

A dozen guards cupped their hands in obeisance once Lin Mengya came into sight, while Lin Zhongyu stood right in front of them, with his face covered with frost.

"Let's go back to our tent. Xiaoyu, please help support Elder Sister Yueting on the way back, while I will go look for Prince Yu."

Yueting's body had not stopped trembling since she came out of the tent.

Mount Lingju was indeed chilly at night. However, the hearts of men were even chillier.

"Miss, let us take over from you."

Lin Mengya lifted her head only to realize that it was the familiar face of Baiji.

Lin Mengya said some words of comfort to Yueting, but refrained from talking too much, before Baiji took over Yueting from her.

While Yueting's body was wrapped around by a dusky green cape, the cape was unable to keep out the piercing look from the eyes of the people around.

In that instant, Lin Mengya felt so heartbroken for Yueting.

It was too late for her to say things like "if" as an excuse.

Baishao had carried a bright red cape for Lin Mengya to wrap around her body, thereby keeping away the chill.

Given that the tiger had been driven to the deepest part of the forest, all the men had gone to chase after it.

With a cold look in her eyes, Lin Mengya walked up to a luxurious looking tent.

Within the tent, there were music and dancing, and the laughter of both men and women. This tent was one of most conspicuous one on within the grounds.

Perhaps the people in the tent were too confident of their martial skills, therefore, there were no capable guards around the tent.

"It seems that the Second Prince is having a really good time here. Are you no longer interested to hunt down the tiger?"

Whoever had the audacity to lay his fingers on Yueting must be someone of status.

After pondering, Lin Mengya thought only the petty Second Prince would do such a thing.

Inside the tent, Hu Lunan was putting his arms around a few girls dressed in brightly colored clothes and laughing loudly, having fun without any restraint

At this instant, Hu Lunan spotted a charming figure wrapped in a bright red cape, walking towards him in strides.

This woman's complexion was as fair as snow. Even the fresh milk in the western vassal state could not be compared to her silky skin.

She was nimble and exquisite. Although not as sensual as the women in his arms, she had just the right amount of charm, which was sufficient to provoke any man's lust.

What was most alluring however was that pair of sparkling, cold eyes.

One look and his heart melted.

An astute smile broke out on her face and that smile was more brilliant than that of all the beautiful ladies in the palace. None of the ladies in the palace could make up a-tenth of that.

From the moment he set his eyes on this woman, he wished he could take possession of her immediately.

However, she had been trying to avoid him, who had been under her complete control using her wisdom.

Hu Lunan put on a sly smile, and his covetous eyes were fixed on the hem of Lin Mengya's skirt.

"What is so desirable about a tiger? I'd rather be drinking and having fun with beautiful women."

The tactful women who were apparently dancers took their leave. Now Lin Mengya and Hu Lunan were the only people left in the tent.

"Were you the one who had humiliated Elder Sister Yueting?"

Lin Mengya tried hard to hold herself back as she confronted Hu Lunan. She could have charged towards him and directly killed him.

"Yueting? Do you mean the young mistress of the Yue Family? She's such a lovable and satisfactory lady. Even my guards could not take her off their mind."

The corner of his mouth turned up in a licentious smile, as he called to mind the enjoyable scene of what happened.

Hu Lunan looked as if he had been intoxicated, and this made Ling Mengya tighten her fists with rage.

At this moment, her fingernails had dug into her palm, breaking the skin on her palm. Tiny bits of blood were flowing from her palm, along her snow-white skin all the way to the bright red sleeve, staining it with patches of blood.

"She had been betrothed to my brother."

Lin Nansheng was supposedly a well-known young hero throughout the land.

However, Hu Lunan burst out laughing and a complacent look appeared on his face.

"Your elder brother? Lin Nansheng? Haha, he is indeed a hero, but too bad, his woman is a slut who sleeps around. No, he's too late, and we've already taken all the pleasure before he does."

From his arrogant and humiliating words, Hu Lunan obviously did this on purpose!

Lin Mengya's face was ashen. However, she suddenly broke out into a brilliant smile.

"Why are you smiling?"

Although Hu Lunan was used to seeing beautiful women, Lin Mengya's smile was like a flower on the other side of the riverbank on the way to the underworld, which was both mysterious and mesmerizing.

"I'm smiling because you are not aware of your impending doom."

The chilling tone in her voice was somehow mixed with a tinge of sweetness.

Lin Mengya was exuberating such alluring magnificence, it was like poison.

Suddenly a feeling of excitement made Hu Lunan get up from his seat and walked towards Lin Mengya.

He was aware that she was different from the others.

Perhaps the two of them were the same kind of people inside. The kind who would sacrifice anything to achieve their goal.

"Oh? Tell me about it, how is my death impending?"

An evil smile appeared at the corners of Hu Lunan's mouth as if assuming that Lin Mengya would want to negotiate terms with him.

"You've laid a finger on one of the Lins, so you're deserving of death."

Even though the word 'death' proceeded from her pretty little mouth, it made death sound beautiful and charming. At this moment, they did not look like arch enemies at all.

"So I heard Yueting also has a younger sister, and you have four maidservants who were very beautiful too. Moreover, I heard that you also have a godbrother. Although I'm not really interested in men, it'd be refreshing to have a taste of man once in a while."

He was increasingly shameless with his words and this provoked Lin Mengya to fury.

"Why, why do you always lay your fingers on the people around me?"

She thought perhaps Hu Lunan had captured her in passing, but by now she had understood that he was targeting her.

"That's because you are my trophy. I want to take possession of both you and the land!"

Finally, Hu Lunan spoke his mind, but Lin Mengya responded to him with a chilling laugh.

"If..."

"Ah..."
