"Aren't you afraid that if you push her too hard, she might switch to someone else's camp?"
Of course Long Tianyu knew that Lin Mengya would never forgive anyone who acted without permission.
However, what he is more worried about is whether Shangguan Hui will become a tool of the Queen's party like Shangguan Qing if she becomes desperate.
"She? No way. Although Shangguan Hui is from the Shangguan family, she is much smarter. What's the use of getting people but not their hearts? Besides, with my help, she will have a greater chance of success.
.If she loses my support, she will never be able to win my brother's heart in her life."
A smart woman will quickly correct herself even if she does something stupid.
The reason why Lin Mengya chose Shangguan Hui was because she was not as paranoid as other Shangguan family members.
People who can think with their brains certainly know what to do to get the most benefit.
She is like this, and so is Shangguan Hui.
"Meeting you is really a disaster for the Shangguan family. By the way, I heard that the old lady of the Shangguan family will also go to burn incense this time. I heard my mother-in-law said that she has been a powerful character since she was young.
You have to be more careful."
Although Long Tianyu was one of the few accompanying male guests, the old lady of the Shangguan family was the mother of the current empress.
Due to emotion and reason, as a junior, she could not be too rude to the old lady.
"It seems that the queen really attaches great importance to this ritual. No wonder, the queen really likes this kind of limelight."
Lin Mengya knew that she was not that important yet. At least, the queen would not go to great lengths to bring all the female family members in the court with her just to deal with her.
But what happened that day always cast a shadow over her heart.
After all, what did the queen use to make herself have such a weird reaction?
Lin Mengya's various speculations were finally overturned by herself one by one.
It seems that only the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth.
The two of them chatted and returned to the palace. Long Tianyu had specifically ordered that the affairs of the Jin family must not be spread to outsiders.
A little later, Lin Mengya and the others unexpectedly received a return gift from Jin Mansion. Thinking about it, they also felt that the greeting was not good enough, and they felt very sorry.
They said they were going to do some religious work, but in fact, it was just a gathering of ladies and ladies from each family, chatting about some household matters and getting some fresh air.
Lin Mengya rarely went to such gatherings, firstly because she didn't have time, and secondly, because whenever she went to such a place, she would become the focus of everyone's discussion.
Rather than letting people dig out all the little things you have, it's better to stay at home honestly.
Over time, it will end up with a reputation of being unsociable. As for others, Yes, but there is no big loss.
After all, ladies who are the masters of the household rarely attend such boring gatherings of ladies.
Long Tianyu has been very busy these days. The Queen is on a tour, and there are also legal affairs related to the fate of the country.
There must be no omissions at all. Fortunately, with Long Qinghan as his deputy, everything went smoothly.
This time, it was Lin Mengya who relaxed.
Every day she was either teasing the children or listening to a few girls chatting about home affairs, and she became the one who enjoyed herself.
"Princess, the young lady from the Shangguan family wants to see you."
The woman in charge of the door respectfully presented Shangguan Hui's greeting card.
Lin Mengya, who was feeding Mo Yan lotus seed soup, just glanced at him and made no further moves.
The mother-in-law did not dare to move without permission and could only stand behind her with her head bowed.
Lin Mengya fed Mo Yan the sweet soup in her hand bit by bit. She watched the little guy eating with a smile on his face, and it was not until he stopped staring at the bowl in her hand that it came to an end.
"Invite her in and I'll meet her in the flower hall."
In fact, the day after she asked Lin Kui to submit the post, Shangguan Hui sent someone over.
However, the man even went in, and under Lin Mengya's instructions, he went back in disgrace.
At this moment, she ignored Shangguan Hui for a long time. This time, she completely made her meaning clear.
If you want to cooperate with her, you have to be obedient. Otherwise, she has countless ways to let Shangguan Hui know that she will not be Lin Mengya's only choice.
The mother-in-law immediately went to send a message. Lin Mengya called for Tian's mother to take care of the two children, while she and the four girls walked to the flower hall in a grand manner.
Before I entered, I saw a vague figure at the door of the flower hall, walking around anxiously.
As soon as he saw her, the figure immediately walked towards her anxiously.
"Princess, you are—"
Shangguan Hui's delicate face was filled with eagerness at this moment.
She was wearing a pea green dress. Although it was not expensive, it made her slender figure look even more frail.
Lin Mengya just glanced at her lightly, then walked into the inner room with her four maids.
Playing tricks with her, does Shangguan Hui really think that he is mentally retarded?
"have
What are you talking about when we sit down to talk? Look at you, you are as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. What's wrong? Could it be that your family has found another marriage for you? "
Lin Mengya sat down and was immediately offered a cup of fragrant tea.
After taking a light sip, Lin Mengya asked slowly.
Her attitude was as if she didn't know anything about it.
"No, it's just how could you be so careless. Now, everyone in our house knows that you posted a message to me. If this reaches that person's ears, I'm afraid what happened between us will--"
Shangguan Hui looks timid and frail, which is indeed pitiable.
Who could have guessed that such a beautiful and weak-looking woman could have such a vicious heart.
A perfect fake smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Since the other party wouldn't tell the truth, she could just watch her act quietly.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you for anything. It's just that - you know, the person in the palace is busy praying for blessings these days, and may not be able to care about a little person like me. I'm just afraid of being implicated.
It won’t be good if it comes to you.”
The anxiety on his face turned into worry at the right time.
Shangguan Hui looked like he was thinking about Lin Mengya, but there was clearly some hidden exploration in those eyes.
If Lin Mengya didn't know her too well, maybe she would have been deceived.
"Oh, it's okay. I went to the Jin Mansion a few days ago. As you know, their family has some connections with ours. Especially Miss Jin, my brother and I are also old acquaintances. Unexpectedly, we could chat for a while.
Jinhuan. I think you and Miss Jin are quite compatible. So, I sent someone to send you a post. What a coincidence. The servants in my mansion are not sensible, and they are almost a drag.
Miss Shangguan."
Lin Mengya said tactfully, her soft eyes seemed to have never wavered at all.
But seeing Shangguan Hui was a bit shocking.
He looked a little hesitant, but soon adjusted his mentality.
"Really? That's really unfortunate. I have never met the lady from the Jin family. If there is a chance in the future, I hope the princess can introduce her."
Lin Mengya's eyes carefully observed Shangguan Hui's every move.
I found that except for her feeling guilty just now, she didn't have any big disappointment or other emotions.
Could it be that her guess was wrong?
"Recommendations have to wait until she recovers. Miss Jin is also in trouble. If I hadn't gone, she might have died."
further After a few steps of probing, Lin Mengya found that there was only a hint of surprise on Shangguan Hui's face.
But apart from her, who else could desperately hope that the young lady of the Jin family would die?
"What's going on? I don't leave the house at home, and I don't know much about it. However, I heard from my family that the young lady of the Jin family has not taken a step out of the house for many years. In
How could such an accident happen in my own family?"
Lin Mengya felt a little confused and stared at Shangguan Hui. She didn't move her eyes until the other party felt a little uncomfortable.
"Didn't you do it?"
He couldn't help but ask, but Shangguan Hui's eyes widened and he quickly shook his head.
"How can I have that ability? By the way, I remembered that one day before, my aunt suddenly took me to the Jin Mansion. But I didn't see the young lady from the Jin family. Could it be that you doubt this?
,Did I do it? Yes, I admit that I did want to get rid of the lady from the Jin family, but before I did it, something happened to her. I thought you knew my plan, so,
Someone sent me that post."
Shangguan Hui also took off the disguise he had put on when he first arrived and spoke out in one breath.
But Lin Mengya still looked at her with that questioning look, and Shangguan Hui, who was heartbroken by the look, showed a strange smile.
Finally, he said in a low voice.
"I just mentioned it secretly when the adults were discussing things. But I promise, it was just that. Mengya, you have to believe me. Although I really want to marry your brother, I can't after all.
It can easily kill people!"
Shangguan Hui was a little anxious, fearing that she would completely lose Lin Mengya's trust.
In fact, that day, the family was just chatting for a while, talking about the unmarried young masters in the capital.
Naturally, when talking about Lin Nansheng, Shangguan Hui blurted it out naturally.
She was sitting at home, but no big or small events in the capital were hidden from her eyes.
But she didn't expect that by such a coincidence, something happened to Miss Jin's family just after she finished speaking. The people sitting there at that time were obviously her family members, at least, they shouldn't have spread the news to others.
"Has the Queen summoned you while I was away from the capital?"
Lin Mengya suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed something.
From Shangguan Hui's dress today, she felt that it seemed a little more refined than before.
Even the wish-fulfilling hairpin on her head was a rare item that could only be used by ladies in the palace.
