The servant of the Jin family led the way, and the three people followed behind.
Lin Mengya observed carefully along the way. Although the style of the Jin family was different from that of the Lin family, there was no vulgar gold carving or jade work. Instead, there was a rough and heroic temperament among the nobility and elegance.
This is the same character as the Jin family, and the Jin family is different from the sparse Lin family. Senior Jin Jue Jin has three sons in his family alone.
I heard that a few years ago, Jin Jue's new concubine gave him a younger son.
Moreover, the Jin family is also one of the few big families that is united as one.
Over the years, among the brothers from other houses, only Old General Jin Jue Jin has followed suit.
It would be difficult for such a family not to prosper.
Therefore, if the Lin family and the Jin family marry, there will be no disadvantages except that the emperor may be a little confused.
After all, only the father and brother of the Lin family can still be successful. Without the injection of other forces, the Lin family will soon lose the ability to compete with the Jin family.
Which one is more important or less important, the emperor will naturally figure it out clearly.
What's more, with her relationship with Long Tianyu, the Lin family, at least in her generation, would never have the possibility of rebellion.
But today, they had just moved to the backyard when they heard muffled cries coming from inside.
The couple looked at each other, and they could see the same confusion in each other's eyes.
The servant just led them to an elegant small courtyard in the backyard, and then went in and knelt in the courtyard, crying.
Lin Mengya stood at the door and took a look, and her heart sank.
Something happened here, it was clear that they were mourning.
But there are no older elders in the direct line of the Jin family. I heard from Long Tianyu that he saw several father and son members of the Jin family this morning.
Could it be that the wife of the Jin family passed away
Before he could think about it carefully, Long Tianyu ordered Lin Kui to go to the mourning hall and inform the elders of the Jin family.
Lin Mengya took a few glances at the courtyard. The courtyard was very elegant and quiet. It didn't look like a residence for ladies, but more like a place where all the ladies lived.
Could it be that the eldest lady of the Jin family was the one who had the accident
"I didn't know that it was Prince Yu who came here, so I missed the welcome from afar. I hope Prince Yu and the princess will forgive me."
Following Lin Kui came out the current head of the Jin family, Jin Jue.
I heard that the ancestor of the Jin family came from a rough background and valued righteousness above all else, so the soldiers he led had more gangster spirit than military spirit.
It goes without saying that you need to be brave when fighting a war, but you can't just be brave when marching.
Compared with the Lin Jiajun, who has strict military discipline, his reputation among the people is quite poor.
The enmity between the two families was also forged because of this.
But now, the once magnificent old general of the Jin family has become much more decadent.
Not only his temples were gray, but his eyes looked a little discouraged. This does not look like the old general of the Jin family.
"No need to be polite, we came unexpectedly today. I didn't expect it to be a coincidence. Please forgive me and accept the situation. If we can help in any way, please just ask."
Long Tianyu spoke sincerely, and fortunately they came today wearing plain clothes.
In the past, it would have been inappropriate to break in at this time.
"Oh, Prince Yu is too polite. Speaking of which, they are all my children, so they are not blessed!"
As Old General Jin spoke, tears fell from his eyes again.
It is said that men never shed tears easily. It seems that the Jin family has really suffered a disaster.
Just as he was talking, a few more young people came from the main room of the small courtyard.
Seeing Jin Jue's grief, several young people with sad faces immediately came up to support Jin Jue and comfort him.
But when they saw clearly who the visiting guests were, suddenly, the eyes of those people fell on Lin Mengya behind Long Tianyu.
A young man wearing light gray clothes suddenly glared at Lin Mengya.
"You... you pest! How dare you come here! You killed my sister. Today, I want you to pay for my sister's life!"
After the man finished speaking, he slashed his hand like a knife and rushed towards Lin Mengya.
Fortunately, Long Tianyu reacted quickly and protected his beloved wife behind him in an instant.
Lin Kui did not show any weakness, a silver light flashed, and a steel knife was placed on the man's neck.
"Wu'er, don't be rude!"
Along with the steel knife, there was also the sound of Jin Jue stopping him.
The scene that was extremely solemn just now has become a bit noisy after such a fuss.
Everyone focused their attention on those people, but a few sharp-eyed people actually recognized Lin Mengya's identity.
Now, Lin Mengya became the target of public criticism.
Many eyes, either surprised or angry, all fell on Lin Mengya.
For a time, she became a sinner in the eyes of everyone.
"Dad, it's her! She was the one who killed my sister! If she hadn't teased her back then, how could she have become like this! And how could it be possible that..."
The man was so distraught that he completely ignored the steel knife on his neck and just pointed at Lin Mengya, as if she had done something heinous.
Lin Mengya hid behind Long Tianyu, but her head was full of question marks.
Harmful? It's impossible, she has never harmed the eldest lady of the Jin family.
Even before, she made an unintentional mistake. How could she kill Miss Jin
Being accused like this made Lin Mengya angry.
With a sneer, Lin Mengya stood behind Long Tianyu, but she was fearless and met the accusing eyes of the Jin family.
"Your Excellency must be Jin Wu, the second son of the Jin family. I am indeed deeply sorry for what happened back then. However, your accusation is too far-fetched, right? Do you have any conclusive evidence that I killed Miss Jin's family? Is there any evidence? If not, I will seek justice for what you slandered me today!"
Lin Mengya was sharp-tongued and even Qinghu would be defeated every time, let alone a martial ruffian who only knew how to lead troops in war.
A few words almost made Jin Wu so angry that he vomited blood.
It's a pity that with the obstruction from his father, Lin Kui and Long Tianyu, let alone strangling Lin Mengya to death. He couldn't even get close to her.
On the other hand, several young men around him, after seeing how crazy he was, no longer bothered to glare at Lin Mengya, but hurriedly took Jin Wu away.
Jin Jue looked at his second son who was still yelling and scolding, and sighed deeply.
He is a very generous person, so after seeing Lin Mengya, he didn't feel any blame.
Just because of Jin Wu's yelling, people in the courtyard faintly surrounded Lin Mengya and the others.
Jin Wu is confused, but Jin Jue is as clear as a mirror.
Not to mention that Lin Mengya is the daughter of the Lin family and cannot be easily moved. Moreover, her identity now is different from theirs.
If Jin Wu is really allowed to act recklessly, I'm afraid it will cause a huge disaster for the Jin family.
He has already lost a pair of children. In fact, he cannot lose any more children.
After sighing helplessly, Jin Jue smiled apologetically, and then said in a deep voice.
"Princess Yu, forgive me, but Wu'er is just sad and confused. To be honest, today, it was because of the sudden death of my youngest son and daughter that I felt so heartbroken."
Lin Mengya actually wasn't angry at all, she just couldn't stand being wrongly accused for no reason.
Now that everyone has said this, she still won't let go.
However, this was too much of a coincidence. Just when she wanted to come to the Jin family to have a chat, the young lady of the Jin family passed away.
If Long Tianyu hadn't decided to launch a surprise attack, I'm afraid that when they came a few days later, they would only be able to see the skeleton of Miss Jin's family.
"It's okay, but what exactly is going on? Could it be that Miss Jin and the young master are suffering from long-term illness?"
At this moment, Lin Mengya's curiosity was piqued.
Jin Jue shook his head sadly, sighed, and then said:
"This is retribution! It's all because my Jin family ancestors did something wrong that retribution comes to my children. As a father, I don't deserve to be a human being!"
Seeing Jin Jue so frustrated, Lin Mengya felt that things might not be that simple.
Although as the saying goes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. But how could it be possible that the wrong things done by the ancestors of the Jin family would be repaid to these two younger generations.
unless-
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed with light, but she felt something was wrong in her heart.
Moreover, the mourning hall was right in front of her. If it was retribution, she had to see it clearly, lest it would be revealed later.
"Old General Jin, although this happened to us by accident. But when we encounter it, the prince and I can hope to do our best before leaving. Although our two families had some misunderstandings in the past. But the deceased is the greatest, and I also I don’t want to make people misunderstand and think that the Jin family is stingy. How about I go and offer a stick of incense to Miss Jin and the young master on behalf of the prince and express my condolences. What do you think?"
At this time, Jin Jue had no intention of obstructing him.
In addition, what Lin Mengya said is indeed reasonable.
Although it is said that children who die young are not suitable for big things, but what parent would want their child to die quietly like this
"I will go with you."
Long Tianyu looked around coldly, and after being slightly frightened by those eager eyes, he wanted to follow Lin Mengya to the mourning hall.
But Lin Mengya pushed his hand and shook her head gently.
Long Tianyu represented royal dignity, and such a child who died in infancy could not have a funeral. Naturally, if Long Tianyu goes in, his identity will be compromised.
Although he was worried, he knew that Jin Jue would not let his family mess around. Long Tianyu agreed, and she could go alone to offer incense.
However, Long Tianyu and Lin Kui exuded a cold aura at all times. At least, no one dared to find trouble with Lin Mengya at this time.
