"You, are you threatening me? Let me tell you, my status is much more valuable than yours now. You, if you dare to do this to me, are you not afraid that the Gong family will be punished because of you?"
Yue Qi's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but retreat, his eyes widened, revealing the panic deep in his heart.
Lin Mengya did not press forward step by step, she just stood there and said softly: "Then you can give it a try. Once I am pushed to the extreme, or someone touches my bottom line, what will happen to me? You have to do it all. Don’t forget what I did when Sister Yue Ting died. Do you think I care about these things? "
Yue Qi trembled all over and slammed Lin Mengya away. He fled out of the temple in panic like a frightened rabbit.
"Gong Ya, Princess Xianghua didn't give you any trouble just now, did she?"
Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong also saw Yue Qi, but they only saw the scene when Yue Qi knocked her away. They also knew about the romantic dispute between them, and as elders, they were not easy to deal with.
It's just that Yue Qi has a special status, and what they are afraid of is that Gong Ya won't be able to cope with it.
"No."
She also had to have the courage. She had been silent before, but she was too lazy to argue with Yue Qi.
Now, she is probably scared out of her wits.
"Princess Xianghua is not a simple person. From now on, you should try to stay away from her."
Thinking that the calm Cheng Rusong had said this, Lin Mengya should obey it.
Moreover, she also knew that there were many doubts about Yue Qi.
Yue Qi also knows the importance of Qinghu to her. For the sake of long-term planning, Yue Qi should not attack Qinghu.
But this incident slightly disturbed her heart.
"Tomorrow is the third day. If the oracle has given instructions, it will usually start on the third day. Gong Ya, you have to be prepared."
Ma Lian whispered, and Lin Mengya had to suppress her inner anxiety and cheer up.
However, so far, she has shown no sign of feeling.
"Do you two uncles know how the oracle came down? Is there any precursor, or what method was used?"
Unexpectedly, the two men looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads.
Ma Lian rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "It's not that we won't help you, but the matter of the oracle is as mysterious as it is mysterious. And besides the palace master, the last time the oracle was given was when the head of your family came to attend. During the Yuan Yue Festival. However, I do think that the oracle will not be sent down this time."
"Oh? Why is this?"
Ma Lian glanced at Cheng Rusong, who turned away with an indifferent expression, making Ma Lian grit his teeth secretly.
"Ahem, because you haven't gone through the ceremony of succeeding as the head of the family yet, right?"
She nodded. Long Tianyu had mentioned this to her, and it seemed that it would have to be acknowledged by the Holy Lord himself in the middle of the Yuan Yue Festival.
"I heard that the head of your family can only get married after a succession ceremony."
He shifted his gaze, paused, and continued: "I heard that every time the oracle comes down, the head of the Gong family will give birth to the next heir."
After wandering around for a long time, it turned out to be because of this.
She didn't think anything of it, but Ma Lian was a little embarrassed, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye.
Cheng Rusong nodded towards her and ran away like the wind at his feet.
After Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but smile.
These two people were arguing for a long time, all because they were embarrassed!
She also walked towards the exit, but she didn't notice a line of sight behind her, following her figure closely, and she was so drunk that she watched her completely disappear from sight...
Yingzi and Taozi guarded Lin Mengya every step of the way, but they would not hinder her.
So when Ma Beichen visited again, they just stood at the door with their heads bowed. If Lin Mengya didn't speak, they would never come in.
"What? Didn't your father beat you half to death when he went back?"
She teased with a smile and seemed to be in a good mood.
Only then did Ma Beichen let go of his hanging heart, and a somewhat chic smile appeared on his handsome face.
"I've heard that it's all thanks to our eldest lady that I can save my legs. So, I'm just here to say thank you!"
Lin Mengya shrugged and said with a smile: "Oh, your father came here and asked you to give the leg. Taozi, bring a machete, I will do it myself and accept the kindness of the Ma family."
Here, Ma Beichen immediately turned from laughing to crying, and almost knelt down in front of this ancestor.
"I was wrong, I was wrong! My father said, let me thank you properly and apologize to you! You have a lot, so please spare the little one."
This guy gave in quickly.
"Well, it's useless for me to use your legs anyway. Have you caught the person who gave you the news?"
When this happened, Ma Beichen felt itchy with hatred.
"He probably smelled the wind and escaped early. But don't worry, unless An Ruchu can hide in the temple for the rest of his life. Otherwise, even if he escapes to the ends of the world, I can catch him!"
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and curled up into a sneer.
What Long Tianyu's men tracked that day was that Ma Beichen took people and went straight to An's house to find An Ruchu.
Unfortunately, no one was found.
To be honest, Lin Mengya felt a little surprised.
The An Ruchu she knew, even though he was more realistic and more powerful, would not do such a thing.
Now that I think about it, it is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
"How did you and him get involved?"
"Hmph! That shameless villain came to me on his own initiative. He said he didn't want to see the An family continue to make mistakes, so he wanted to do some good things for the An family and clean up the mess. I hope that we can at least be merciful to the An family in the future. I do the same. I felt that he was at least not as shameless as other An family members, so I believed him. I didn’t expect that he would actually lie to me!"
She took a sip of tea and said nothing.
It was absolutely impossible for the matter to be as simple as Ma Beichen said. Even if he could be deceived, the old man of the Ma family obviously knew about it.
An Ruchu was able to hide the truth from the truth, which shows that at least he had provided real clues before.
Even in this matter, he didn't lie. It was just that the timing was slightly wrong.
"Did he tell you personally, or did he have someone pass the news on to you?"
Ma Beichen was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.
"He said he was afraid of arousing others' suspicion, so he always sent a boy beside him to deliver the news. It was the same the previous few times. Do you suspect that the boy had tampered with it?"
She shook her head. No one was caught. It was too early to draw any conclusions now.
"Then did he tell you what the An family and Baili family are planning?"
Ma Beichen shook his head.
But that's right. This kind of thing is classified. Even the heads of the families they captured that night said they didn't know much about it, let alone others.
"Gong Ya, I heard that you and His Highness Xi are a couple?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Ma Beichen, who showed a bright smile and returned to his former free and easy appearance.
"I heard that Your Highness Xi will definitely not marry just one wife in the future. Why don't you consider me?"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Mengya's sharp eyes saw a figure walking towards the door.
The footsteps were silent, obviously on purpose.
She lowered her eyes and pretended to be shy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are just ordinary friends."
"You can be ordinary now, but you don't have to be ordinary in the future! I know the rules of your family. It's okay to let me marry you! Your Highness Xi can't do it. They are too noble and are not as down-to-earth as me."
She secretly glanced behind Ma Beichen, and the man's eyes were about to burst into flames.
"But, you have so many confidantes, I'm afraid..."
"I was just acting out of luck. Ever since I met you, I have learned what it means to be unforgettable. Don't worry, as long as you give me this chance, I will change my mind and be a new person!"
Lin Mengya lowered her face and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, showing the rare shyness of a little girl.
Ma Beichen thought he had a chance, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"If you agree, I will go back and tell my father that if he comes down from the mountain, he will go to your house to propose marriage immediately!"
"You don't have to go down this mountain."
A cold voice struck from the sky, revealing the repression before the rage.
Ma Beichen was shocked and immediately jumped up from his seat. He looked at His Highness who suddenly appeared behind him in shock.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Oops! The person involved discovered the poaching!
But Ma Beichen regained his composure in the blink of an eye.
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness? There are rules in the temple, and we dare not violate them."
Long Tianyu looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, with a storm brewing deep in his black eyes.
"When you die, you can be placed in the temple."
This is an honor within the family, but only the most outstanding can do so.
"I still don't need it. Our Ma family has strict rules and we don't allow people to die outside. But Your Highness, my fair lady, a gentleman is always brave. I, Ma Beichen, am not that shameless person. I will tell you this in front of you today. I also have a crush on Gong Ya, unless you marry her off, I will pursue her even if I die!"
After saying that, the person left quickly.
If he hadn't looked so determined before, Lin Mengya would have thought that he was so scared that he ran away.
But that speed... is too fast
"You've gone far, what else are you looking at!"
The tone was obviously unhappy, but it made Lin Mengya smile and roll her eyes.
"Okay, why are you jealous? You clearly know who I have in mind."
She came back to her senses and pushed the warm tea she had just added in front of him with a smile.
The latter picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
Unfortunately, the cold breath all over their bodies scared Yingzi and Taozi to the point where they didn't even dare to breathe.
"Stop being like this, good boy. I just teased him on purpose. Didn't you see it too?"
She took the initiative to take Long Tianyu's hand, put her little hand in his palm, and was held tightly by him.
After the latter felt her fragrance, his mood gradually calmed down.
