Chapter 656 Confrontation between ancestor and grandson
However, when those pair of ancient and unwavering eyes seemed to be looking in his direction unintentionally, they slightly collided with hers.
A feeling of uneasiness arising from the depths of her soul made Lin Mengya avoid the other party's gaze for the first time.
"Master, please come this way."
Aunt Yan, who was following Yun Shen, didn't know about the little episode between Lin Mengya and Yun Shen.
He lowered his head respectfully and led Master Yun Shen towards the direction of the Main Hall.
Lin Mengya lowered her head, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and tried her best to hide herself among the crowd.
But in my mind, there are endless questions.
Who is that person?
However, no one came to answer her questions, and everyone's attention was only focused on the deepest part of the Main Hall.
Without the Queen, the chanting here would just become a formality. No one would really pay attention to this ritual.
Even Lin Mengya was equally distracted, but what she wanted to know more was who the person who made her fearful for no reason was.
Amid everyone's suspicion, this duplicitous ritual has finally come to an end.
In the side hall in the front yard, a group of ladies and their families were also taking a short rest.
Although I didn't do any heavy labor, it was extremely physically demanding to kneel there and receive the sun's rays.
In the side hall, a young monk had already prepared warm and sweet tea for everyone to quench the thirst of the ladies.
But Lin Mengya was a little uninterested. Although the Queen didn't say anything about today's events, Lin Mengya could still guess something about it from her solemn expression.
What happened that almost caused this ritual to be interrupted?
In women's circles, rumors are inevitable.
Gradually, the focus of the discussion shifted to today's events. However, Lin Mengya remained silent and was forgotten in the corner, quietly listening to the ladies' conversation.
"By the way, that handsome monk who came this afternoon, do you know which temple he is the master of?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Mengya pricked up her ears and listened without missing a word.
"I don't know about this, but I heard that he has been highly praised by the queen since he entered the palace. Moreover, I also heard that this master is a god."
These words were forced into my stomach by a pair of eyes.
Lin Mengya looked over vaguely, only to see Mrs. Shangguan, looking at the lady who was talking about the queen. The other party immediately stopped talking. Mrs. Shangguan didn't stop for much. Just one glance made Lin Mengya understand that the Shangguan family's status here was still unshakable.
But it makes sense to say it. After all, the current queen crawled out of her belly. Naturally, she has this identity and status.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya, who only wanted to stay in people's hearts and tried her best to be a little transparent, would be pulled in front of people again.
"Princess Yu, your grandmother is here. As a matter of etiquette, shouldn't you come over and let the old lady take a good look at you?"
Lin Mengya looked up and saw that the person speaking seemed to be a lady from a noble family.
That beautiful and soft face, at this moment, showed a little bit of gloating.
Who doesn't know that although Shangguan Qing is Lin Muzhi's wife and Lin Mengya's stepmother, she has never been favored by Master Lin. I heard that she was even banned at home.
Even this ritual ceremony could not take place due to Lin Nansheng's obstruction.
This matter has already spread a lot in Kyoto. Naturally, Mrs. Shangguan will not let others bully her daughter.
Therefore, the confrontation with Lin Mengya was also within her expectation.
Lin Mengya didn't let the wife who deliberately provoked trouble laugh for long. She stood up gently and skillfully and bowed gracefully, showing her upbringing as a Lin family girl.
"Greetings to grandma, may she be in good health."
Seeing Lin Mengya's obedient and gentle appearance, people who have never seen her will naturally feel that this Princess Yu is not the eloquent and charming woman in the legend.
But Mrs. Shangguan still couldn't see through this girl. Underneath her smart and beautiful appearance, she had a very cunning heart.
No wonder Qing'er was defeated after only a few rounds under her control.
The upbringing of the Lin family is indeed extraordinary.
With her eyelids raised slightly, Mrs. Shangguan just briefly looked at the woman in front of her and nodded slightly. There was a touch of intimacy with her granddaughter.
"I heard that you are married to Prince Yu? That's a good place to go. Anyway, the prince is also your cousin. Let's get married. In the future, your husband can also assist the prince, and you will naturally enjoy prosperity.
"
Look, this charity-like tone seems to be due to them that she is safe and sound today.
Lin Mengya was disdainful in her heart, but on the surface,
But it is still calm and calm.
"Grandma's lesson is very true. My husband and I will naturally be loyal and dedicated to the country. Don't worry, grandma, I will never let down what my mother taught me at home."
Of course she will never forget how Shangguan Qing calculated that innocent woman's death.
And how she calculated her status and men, almost taking away her happiness.
All of this must be repaid by the entire Shangguan family. Otherwise, how can she be worthy of the Shangguan family's plot against the Lin family? ??
"Well, I feel relieved that you are sensible. Remember, no matter what time, the Shangguan family is your maternal family. Although your mother did not give birth to you, she still does her best for you. You and Meng Wu should have more
It's better to come to my grandfather's house to avoid others thinking that our Shangguan family is stingy."
So, do you want her to speak and let her brother release the person?
Lin Mengya couldn't help but sneer in her heart. If it weren't for Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengya, relying on the protection of the Shangguan family, how could they dare to cause such a big storm.
Nodding slightly, Lin Mengya said softly
"What grandma taught me is that my mother has been unwell these days. Sister Mengwu is also filial and wants to be filial to my mother at all times on my behalf. Therefore, I can't go to the renter's house to pay my respects. Grandma please don't
I blame my mother and sister. When my mother recovers on her birthday tomorrow, I will definitely take my sister and grandmother to visit my grandfather's house."
She politely declined Mrs. Shangguan's kindness, but she didn't know that it was obviously because Shangguan Qing couldn't escape, so her mother came to force her to submit.
She is really mean-spirited and doesn't like people from the Shangguan family. Why do others have to follow their arrangements?
Everyone is equal. This kind of forcibly arranging other people's lives really makes her very resistant.
Mrs. Shangguan didn't seem to expect that Lin Mengya would refuse like this.
Maybe it's because, in her previous life, very few people would dare to disobey her.
He glanced coldly at the docile woman with her head lowered in front of her. There, there was a pair of eyes looking at her granddaughter. It was clear that she was looking at a disobedient thing.
"Since your mother is sick, you should take a good rest. Your brother is busy with the affairs of the court, so he can't take care of these things. If you are filial, you should also take your mother to the house to take care of you. I heard that you
There seem to be many famous doctors visiting the house, maybe your mother will recover from her illness sooner."
This statement is somewhat unreasonable.
< br> Everyone in Kyoto knows that Shangguan Qing and her daughter stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion and finally returned to the Lin Mansion in disgrace.
Now, as soon as Mrs. Shangguan opened her mouth, she asked Lin Mengya to pick her up in person. Wouldn't this be a slap in her face and embarrassment to Lin Mengya?
Or is it that your Shangguan family is so domineering that even the emperor's daughter-in-law dares to instigate you like this?
Of course, such words only exist in the hearts of the ladies, but on the surface, no one dares to reveal the slightest bit.
When Lin Mengya heard this, she suddenly straightened her spine and looked directly at Mrs. Shangguan. There was no trace of fear on her face.
"Since grandma said so, I will definitely bring my mother and sister to my house. But -"
When the conversation changed, even in front of the old lady Shangguan who had gone through many hardships, Lin Mengya's graceful demeanor was not inferior to the old lady in front of her.
"There are rules in my house, which are set by our ancestors. No matter how close my mother and sister are, they cannot outweigh the rules set by our ancestors. If my mother goes with my sister, I have to abide by these rules. If there is any
If you offend me, please ask my grandmother to mediate, please don’t make things difficult for me."
Raising her eyebrows, this was the first time Mrs. Shangguan opened her eyes and looked at Lin Mengya.
What a powerful mouth, what a pair of eyes that are not afraid of myself at all.
She seemed to see the queen from more than ten years ago, a woman who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger since she was born, but was also extremely smart, which made her and the master a little scared.
Although she had never taken this girl from the Lin family seriously, the queen was right. If she allowed this girl to go on, she might have an impact on her grandson's career.
The corners of his mouth gradually widened into a slightly cold smile.
That face that had gone through many vicissitudes of life and was covered with wrinkles, at this moment, once again glowed with a subtle expression called murderous intent.
"In that case, let them go. However, if something happens to your mother, your uncles and grandfather will not stand idly by."
If oppression fails, then we should resort to threats, right?
Lin Mengya finally understood why her father was cold-blooded only to women from the Shangguan family.
I'm afraid no man in the world would take such an aggressive approach seriously.
He nodded gently and saluted, but it was far less respectful than before.
"This is natural. Although my mother married into the Lin family, life and death are the Lin family's affairs. However, my grandfather's family is naturally no better than others. If anything happens, I will naturally inform you."
