"What are you talking about? Slandering the princess is a capital crime!"
Jinyue's sharp gaze made Lin Mengwu shudder. But Shangguan Qing is a person who has experienced great storms, let alone a little maid.
Even Concubine De's angry look never made her feel even a little scared.
"Everything I said is true. People outside don't know the inside story. They say that I am jealous of the Marquis' doting on his late wife, so that's why I imprisoned Ya'er in the mansion. But I am the only one who knows that if it weren't for the sake of maintaining the reputation of the Marquis' mansion, I would Why should we bear such a notoriety?”
If Lin Mengya saw this tearful performance, she would definitely applaud.
Maybe even move a small bench and grab a bag of sunflower seeds to watch the show.
But even though Concubine De didn't believe it, she was surrounded by maids and it was a fact that the princess was missing.
Suddenly, even Concubine De felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger.
"This matter is related to the reputation of the palace. Still, it is not too late to wait until Ya'er comes back before making a decision."
To be clear, I just don’t believe this mother and daughter.
Concubine De's beautiful and dignified face was already filled with coldness.
Needless to say, Lin Mengya was definitely not the kind of woman who would elope with a man. Even if it was true, Mrs. Lin shouldn't shout so loudly.
This is about the dignity of the royal palace, how can we tolerate this as a child's play
"Oh, that's alright. Ever since Ya'er got married, everyone from the top to you, down to the servants in this house, have been very kind to her. I don't have the shame to live any longer. If I find Ya'er, I'll change my mind tomorrow. I took Wu'er back to my hometown."
After wiping her tears again, Shangguan Qing found that her acting skills did not achieve the expected results.
Secretly looking at the gloomy-looking Concubine De, my sister said that Concubine De was a lady from a well-known family, and what she hated most was such shameless things.
But now, these words are actually protecting Lin Mengya in every possible way
Is it possible that that little bitch has even subdued Concubine De
Just like her damn mother, she was born to seduce people.
"Now that neither Ya'er nor Yu'er is in the house, how can we guess? After all, there is still some remoteness. You are Ya'er's stepmother, and you are also the wife of Zhennan Marquis. If you tell me about the unconfirmed things, is there something wrong? morning?"
Concubine De's face became increasingly ugly.
She never knew that even her stepdaughter, who was still a family after all, would be treated so harshly by her stepmother.
He became more and more disgusted with Shangguan Qing.
"The empress said that I was reckless. Alas, I don't know if I can find Ya'er."
Shangguan Qing knew the truth and asked, these things were obviously planned by her.
Coming to Concubine De to accuse Lin Mengya of being immoral was also the result of the Queen's advice to her.
Now it seems that the effect is not good.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Lin Mengya doesn't return all night, King Yu will be furious even if Concubine De doesn't tell her.
I'm afraid this girl won't be able to stay in this house any longer.
"The princess is back! The princess is back! Madam, the princess is back!"
The servant's voice of surprise suddenly sounded, and everyone looked outside.
Lin Mengya, dressed in gorgeous clothes, hurried in from the door with her little girl Bai Zhi with a smile on her lips.
"Ya'er wishes to express my regards to my mother and concubine. Please forgive me."
Shangguan Qing's face hinted at a bit of pride.
Now, she even changed her clothes, and she came back so late. She said she was not marrying a wild man. Who would believe her
"Ya'er, where have you been? I wonder if everyone in the house is worried about you?"
Seeing Lin Mengya dressed up like this, Concubine De's eyes dimmed a bit.
Even if it wasn't a private meeting, everyone could throw dirty water on her and accuse Lin Mengya of violating women's ethics.
What should we do? If Yu'er misunderstood, wouldn't there be another uproar
"Third sister-in-law stole the show today. Alas, even I, as my younger brother, am a little jealous. Concubine, you must love me more."
Long Qinghan's voice sounded immediately after.
Still holding the folding fan in his hand, he pretended to be sad and entered the house.
"You! Don't your third brother love you enough? Where have you been these days?"
Seeing Long Qinghan, Concubine De's sad face relaxed.
She had raised this child since he was a child. Unlike Yu'er, Han'er is a child who refines his coquettish ways.
Naturally, she loves this guy more.
"Greetings to my mother and concubine, Han'er went on a long trip a while ago. I originally wanted to give Third Sister-in-law a surprise and treat it as a gift for their marriage. Who knew that Third Brother was so partial to Third Sister-in-law, even I felt jealous when I saw it? ”
Long Qinghan was bohemian and unrestrained. Not to mention his good looks, his eyebrows and eyes that were always smiling made him even more attractive than Long Tianyu.
After bowing, he sat next to Concubine De with a playful smile, looking like she was trying to please everyone.
"Oh? What's going on?"
Looking at her little son lovingly, Concubine De's heart finally calmed down a little.
In contrast, Han'er came back with Ya'er, and those scandals will finally not happen.
"Well, isn't it? The envoy from the Western Domain came to visit and gave the third brother a golden toad and jade silk dress. Originally, I wanted to ask for it and give it to my confidante. Who knows, the third brother accepted it , he changed hands and gave it to the third sister-in-law. Alas, this younger brother of mine is becoming more and more worthless!"
As Long Qinghan said this, he tried his best to raise his mouth angrily and pointed it in Lin Mengya's direction.
At this time, Lin Mengya also lowered her head in cooperation, looking very shy.
Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to be filled with a bit of honey-like sweetness.
Who would have thought that Long Tianyu, known as the cold-faced prince, would miss his princess so much.
"So that's it. If the Sixth Prince doesn't dislike it, I will lend you this dress as a gift to Buddha."
He raised his head with a sweet smile on his lips.
It was as if she was telling everyone that she was the one who was most important to Long Tianyu.
"Hey, I don't dare to take advantage of others. If I let Third Brother know about it later, he won't have to take my skin off!"
Long Qinghan's head shook like a rattle.
In De Fei's mind, she already had a rough idea.
Yu'er must have gotten such a dress, so he was eager to give it to Ya'er.
But unfortunately, Ya'er went to the Buddhist temple with herself again.
Xu Shiyaer was picked up by Yuer, so she missed the time to come back.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
"When did your third brother give up on you? How did you come back with your third sister-in-law after being naughty?"
Concubine De already had a rough idea in her mind.
But she couldn't let Lin Mengya be wronged.
"Oh, it's not like my third brother caught me as a young man to run errands. Concubine, you have to give me some respect. I ran from the inn to the mountain temple, and then escorted my third sister-in-law from the mountain temple to the inn. Back and forth, I broke both my legs running."
After listening to Long Qinghan's words, everyone understood the whole story.
I'm sorry, it's because Prince Yu loves the princess too much that this happened.
Lin Mengya just smiled and said nothing, leaving all the plot to Long Qinghan.
However, after this incident, the rumor that Long Tianyu loved the princess too much could not be avoided.
"That's it, I just said, Ya'er is cute and cute. How could she do anything to ruin the family tradition? Mrs. Lin, it's getting late, and I should rest. Ya'er, Han'er, you stay."
"Yes, concubine."
Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu's expressions became extremely ugly.
If Lin Mengya really stayed up all night, then this rumor would be true.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Prince Yu came to escort him.
Suddenly, the two of them lost their heads and hurriedly walked out of Yaxuan.
"You guys, next time something like this happens again, you should send someone to tell me about it. Look at this mansion, it's making people upset, there are all kinds of rumors, it's not good for your reputation."
Lin Mengya sat obediently next to Empress Dowager De, smiling sweetly but not saying much.
"Your stepmother, Ya'er, in a big family, this kind of thing is inevitable. You have to be awake in the future, but don't let others catch you."
Shangguan Qing was colluding with the queen, so Concubine De naturally didn't like it.
Coupled with the many rumors outside, it is even more difficult for Lin Mengya to have such a stepmother.
"Ya'er knows that it makes mother and concubine worried."
Unexpectedly, she had just been kidnapped, and Shangguan Qing came to help her.
In my mind, I was secretly thinking that there might be something big going on here.
"Okay, I'm really tired. You go down. Jinyue, bring me a thousand taels of silver notes for Han'er. He will be rewarded for his merits in escorting Ya'er."
Long Qinghan immediately licked his face and smiled like a little fox who just had his way. Lin Mengya was a little curious.
This guy looked up and down, what he was wearing and what he was holding were definitely not holy items.
Why is it that for a thousand taels of silver, you are laughing like a fool
One after another, he and Long Qinghan retreated from Yaxuan.
It wasn't until she arrived at her Liuxinyuan that Lin Mengya took off the sweet smile on her face.
Pretending to be serious is tiring, pretending to be sweet is even more tiring!
But, how could Long Qinghan find him in such timely manner
"Master! You are back!"
As soon as the door was opened, the girl from her yard rushed over with Lin Zhongyu.
Under the eaves, several loyal women looked in Lin Mengya's direction with happy smiles.
They say a friend in need is a friend indeed, and she was wary of all these women.
Now it seems that a few can be promoted.
"Am I okay? Don't be sad or anxious."
Surrounded by the girl and Lin Zhongyu, they arrived in the main room.
White peony root was also placed on the chair. This heartless guy saw the delicious tea and couldn't care less about eating it.
"Master, what happened in the temple? How could you do this?"
Lin Mengya knew very well that they all cared about her, and people like herself in the yard had all kinds of questions.
But now is not the time to answer questions.
