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, it did not have vulgar gold carvings and jade inlays. Instead, it had a rough and heroic temperament amid its nobility and elegance.
This is actually the same character as the Jin family, and the Jin family is different from the sparsely populated Lin family. Senior Jin Jue Jin alone has three sons in his family.
I heard that a few years ago, Jin Jue took in a new concubine and 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 a family like this 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 again.
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 doubt 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's clear that they are mourning.
But there are no older elders in the direct line of the Jin family. I heard from Long Tianyu that he also saw several father and sons 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 him from afar. I hope Prince Yu and the princess will forgive me."
Coming out after Lin Kui was Jin Jue, now the head of the Jin family.
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, Generally speaking, the 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 are gray, but his eyes look 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 an unlucky coincidence. Please forgive me and accept the change. If we can be of any help, please just ask."
Long Tianyu spoke sincerely. Fortunately, they came today and all wore 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, several 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 guest was, suddenly, the eyes of those people fell on Lin Mengya behind Long Tianyu.
I saw a young man wearing light gray clothes who suddenly glared at Lin Mengya.
"You, you pest! How dare you come here! You killed my sister. Today, I will make you 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 instantly protected his beloved wife behind him.
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 became 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 her sister! If she hadn’t teased her in the first place, how could she have become like this! And how could it be possible?”
The man was so distraught that he completely ignored the steel knife on his neck and just pointed it at Lin Mengya, as if she had done something heinous.
Lin Mengya hid behind Long Tianyu, but her head was full of question marks.
Harming anyone? 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 for no reason 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 confirmation 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.
Unfortunately, with the obstruction from his father, Lin Kui and Long Tianyu, he couldn't even get close to her, let alone strangle Lin Mengya to death.
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 and scolding, everyone in the yard faintly surrounded Lin Mengya and the other three.
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 touched. Moreover, her current status is also different from theirs.
If Jin Wu is really allowed to act recklessly, I'm afraid it will cause the Jin family to cause a huge disaster.
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. 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. r> 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 because my ancestors of the Jin family 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 descendants.
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, so if it was retribution, she had to see it clearly, lest the truth would be revealed in the future.
"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, I will 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 a child who dies in infancy is not suitable for making big fuss about, 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 represents royal dignity, and such a child who died in infancy cannot have a funeral. Naturally, if Long Tianyu goes in, his identity will be compromised.
Although she was worried, she knew that Jin Jue would not let her 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 bring trouble to Lin Mengya at this time.
