Axiu's worries are not completely unreasonable.
Although the Dongfang family is still loyal to the king, due to Xiaoyu's unstable foundation, even if he inherits the throne, he may not be able to cope with the joint siege of several other aristocratic families.
No amount of kindness can compare to the cruelty of reality.
Supporting Xiaoyu may mean that the entire clan will be criticized.
And judging from his current strength, the throne is not something he can easily capture.
Therefore, the Dongfang family also had their own plans.
Dongfang Xu was one of the people who supported Xiaoyu, and their marriage to Axiu was also their plan to force the Dongfang family to be put on the balance.
However, there are many people who disagree.
This marriage was not approved by many people, and it was not settled at all.
After listening to Axiu's helpless story, Lin Mengya also roughly understood why Xiaoyu reacted so violently to this marriage.
"Actually, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the Ninth Prince. My father once told me that Lieyun Kingdom will have such a day sooner or later. No matter the aristocratic family or the tribe, it is just a passing cloud. How fierce the competition is now, it's time to In the end, it will be so sad. With the king's mind and means, unifying Lieyun is not an unattainable thing. My uncle supports the Ninth Prince so much just to earn a way out for the Dongfang family."
Although Axiu's eyes were dull and dull, Lin Mengya still had a hint of indifference and sarcasm on her face.
In the past, she only knew that Axiu was a little girl with a simple and kind heart, but a very smart mind.
Listening to her speak now, every word carries a sense of detachment and maturity.
What kind of family could raise such a smart and cunning woman? Lin Mengya was becoming more and more curious now.
"I have only heard that you have an uncle before, but I have never heard about your father. From what you said, my father's vision is indeed extraordinary. If there is a chance, I would like to pay a visit to your father. Is that okay? "
Maybe other aristocratic families only think that the Dongfang family is dispensable. After all, it is just a family that mainly engages in business.
In the struggle for power, it neither has the prestige of the Xin family nor the foundation of other families.
I'm afraid it's for this reason that the Dongfang family is so eager to choose a thicker thigh to hug.
But Lin Mengya knew better than anyone that the Dongfang family brothers were probably different from others.
Lieyun Country is an extremely xenophobic country, even close to a closed country.
But they are able to become a very small number, go to foreign countries to trade at will, and become the strength of several giants on the trade road.
Maybe there is the king's secret support, but more importantly, I am afraid that the Dongfang family's original background is related to their methods.
If Xiaoyu wants to lead Lieyun Kingdom to a new level.
A family like the Dongfang family with a long-term vision, sufficient ability and connections, is bound to be attracted and reused.
Fortunately, she has a good relationship with Axiu and Dongfang Xu, which may save a lot of time for her purpose.
"My father...he is not in the house. I heard from my uncle that since I was born, my father has chosen to travel abroad. As I have grown up, I have only seen my father a handful of times. In total, I have not seen him for three years. I saw him. However, if my father comes back, Sister Lin, you'd better not see him. My father is a bit strange. But I will try my best to facilitate this, don't worry. "
Although the light in the room was extremely dim, Lin Mengya could still see the serious look on the girl's face.
My heart couldn't help but move slightly, and I sighed secretly.
The more innocent a child is, the easier it is for him to become stubborn.
Even though she has a very close relationship with him, Axiu always thinks and does everything for Xiaoyu's child.
They are really a pair of little enemies. I don’t know what Axiu owed that boy in her previous life.
In this life, it is not enough to return his eyes to him, but also to have his heart broken.
However, Lin Mengya couldn't make the decision in this kind of matter.
Their situation is different from that of my brother and Shangguan Hui.
It's just that if Xiaoyu really can't choose marriage by himself in the future, Axiu may really be his first choice.
The word love is really elusive.
The two of them said a few more words of respect to each other until the sky became brighter, then they fell asleep unconsciously.
Lin Mengya always slept lightly, so when Axiu made some movements, she also opened her sour eyes.
"Axiu, what time is it now?"
I rubbed my sore head, and everything from last night came back to me in an instant.
correct! She made an agreement with Xiaoyu to meet in front of the palace.
She didn't show up all night, and I was afraid that kid would die of anxiety.
"It's still early. Sister Lin, please rest for a while. I have sent people to find the Ninth Prince. I believe he will be here soon. I remember when I was in the palace, sister, you wake up every morning and ask Use some porridge that has been simmered until it becomes soft. I have already asked the kitchen to do it. Sister Lin, just wait for a while."
In the sunshine, Axiu smiled extremely charmingly and brightly.
The loss of those eyes did not damage her beauty at all.
On the contrary, it gave her an extra sense of frailty that I felt pity for.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Meeting an old friend in a foreign country was actually a good thing for Lin Mengya.
Besides, Axiu was more like a kind little sister to her.
"Well, I'll go out and take a look first."
I don't know if it was Lin Mengya's misunderstanding, but there seemed to be something wrong with Axiu's smile just now.
Maybe she was overthinking it, after all, Axiu was a little different now than before.
Besides, her senses have always been sharp.
If Axiu was hiding something from her, she would definitely be able to tell.
The Dongfang family's house was more profound and complicated than Lin Mengya had imagined.
Although the courtyard at home is beginning to take shape, it still lacks a little charm compared to an established family like the Dongfang Family.
After eating in the morning, Lin Mengya was pulled by Axiu and walked back and forth in the courtyard of Dongfang's house.
She really saw what it means to have carved beams and painted buildings, and winding paths leading to seclusion.
After shopping around all morning, it is said that I have only visited less than half of the Dongfang family's house.
But there was one thing that Lin Mengya understood clearly.
Ah Xiu's status may be somewhat different in the Dongfang family.
There seemed to be no one else living in this half of the yard except for a young girl like her who had not yet left the palace.
Logically speaking, even if there is only the main branch of the Dongfang family in the house, there will be many people there.
Now, after walking around half of the yard, I didn't see anyone else from the Dongfang family, which is enough to explain the problem.
Such a big place is probably just for Axiu to live alone!
Sure enough, she was in a mess. With the same background, Lin Mengya had a very different childhood when she had trouble even having enough to eat!
"Sister Lin, look at my yard, does it look pretty?"
Tired from shopping, the two of them sat in the pavilion to rest.
Fine and crystal beads of sweat shone on Axiu's fair and delicate forehead, and the girl's face also had a different kind of blush.
Looking around, although it is a large mansion, it is very quiet and elegant, with exquisite decoration, making people feel relaxed and happy.
This is indeed a good place.
"Of course it's beautiful. I didn't expect that your home is like a fairyland. With such a mansion, you will definitely not be bored at home."
Lin Mengya said with a smile as she picked up the teacup in front of her.
Axiu had a sweet smile on her face when she heard this, and then she said with some concern.
"In this case, Sister Lin, how many days can you stay here with me? It's only a few days. When we meet again after a long separation, I always feel that there are many things I can't finish talking about. And here, you are the only one who can stay with me. ”
Looking at the pitiful girl, it was really hard for Lin Mengya to say no.
However, there are many things going on in the palace.
Seeing that the Yao family was about to cause trouble, Lin Mengya could not sit still and wait for death.
What's more, they dared to kidnap someone last night, which shows that the Yao family has long been disobedient.
In this case, she should fight side by side with Xiaoyu and his wife in the palace.
But she really couldn't bear to refuse Axiu's intention.
I could only think about it for a long time, trying to say something that would not make this girl sad.
"I... "
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Sister! Are you okay! Dongfang Xiu, you are so hateful! You actually want to hold my sister hostage. Huh, do you Dongfang family always like to use such shady methods to force me to submit?"
Xiaoyu's angry scolding surprised Lin Mengya.
Turning around, just as he was about to say something to calm Axiu, he saw that her little face had changed from reddish just now to pitifully pale.
Frowning slightly, Lin Mengya threw a glare at Xiaoyu.
But she saw the boy running over angrily, holding her hand tightly, and hiding herself protectively behind him.
"Xiaoyu, I'm fine. Axiu and I are good friends. Besides, she saved me last night. You can't say that to her!"
Lin Mengya's tone was a bit harsh, it would be okay if she didn't know what Axiu did for Xiaoyu.
Once she knew it, she naturally leaned towards Axiu.
Even though Xiaoyu is innocent in this matter.
But if Axiu hadn't secretly promised him her heart, how could she have made such a big sacrifice for him.
Sometimes, not knowing is not an excuse to enjoy what others have given.
"Don't be deceived by them! Save you? I think she probably wants to take advantage of you. Let me agree to the engagement with her!"
Xiaoyu, who had always been calm, seemed surprisingly angry.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them a little.
After all, his sister had a different identity to him, but when he saw his sister actually facing that woman, Wanyanyu became furious.
The eyebrows were twisted into a knot. Lin Mengya was really disappointed in Xiaoyu.
But before she lost her temper, Axiu gently grabbed her cuffs.
