Chapter 22 The Lure of Sister-in-law of Ancient Version
Lin Mengya just looked at the amiable Lin Mengwu with a calm smile.
In Lin’s mansion, Lin Mengwu always beat and scolded her stupid sister. Even when her sister was in the bridal sedan, she stuffed her with a handful of poisoned dates.
Her malevolent intentions had been beyond what an unmarried young lady could do.
Besides, from entering the door to now, Lin Mengwu’s eyes had been glued to Long Tianhao.
Was this an ancient version of a lure of sister-in-law? Unfortunately, Long Tianhao wasn’t a stupid man they imagined.
“Really? I miss my sister and mother very much as well.”
Lin Mengya forced a smile. It was really ironic. A person who wanted to kill her dared to say that they were missing her. They wished she could die in the bridal sedan.
“Prince, welcome to our mansion. My mother has already prepared fragrant tea in the main courtyard, this way please.”
Lin Mengya almost burst out laughing. They were not missing her but trying to seduce her husband.
Her nominal mother still stood there with a smile.
What a harmonious scene! She only felt hypocritical.
However, Long Tianhao frowned slightly, he did not reply to them, but turned and whispered in Lin Mengya’s ear.
“Let’s go to the courtyard where you used to live. I’m curious about what kind of environment you used to live in.”
How loud the slap was! Lin Mengwu and Shangguan Qing’s faces fell instantly.
Lin Mengwu was blinded by hatred and jealousy. “What was the special about this bitch? Wasn’t she just getting a little bit beautiful?”
Lin Mengya was ground beneath her feet previously!
“Okay, by the way, mother, sister, that day in the bridal sedan, I seemed to faint for a moment, but I don’t know why. After waking up, I regained my sanity. I hope you can tell my father and brother about my recent situation. Mengya won’t bother you two, prince, this way, please.”
Since Long Tianhao had given the shameless mother and daughter a slap, she, the leading role, had to end up this after she stabbed their hearts mercilessly.
She said softly, in a tone with her usual gentleness and innocence, hitting the targets of Lin Mengwu and Shangguan Qing.
She guessed that the shameless mother and daughter must be furious.
Did they think that this would offset the insults she had received?
“They were dreaming!”
This was just a beginning!
“Mother, did you see that little bitch’s arrogance!”
Inside the room, Lin Mengwu was almost crazy, and her beautiful face became extremely ferocious because of anger.
It was unexpected that Lin Mengya didn’t die, and even Long Tianhao stood by her side.
“That’s all because of her face. Resembling her mother, she is really a tempter.” In the inner chamber, Shangguan Qing also tore off her mask of hypocrisy.
Her charming face darkened at the moment. That face, which she thought would disappear in her world in this life, reappeared once again.
Moreover, it appeared in a way that she couldn’t accept and believe.
“Mother, I should be the real Princess Yu, that bitch, that bitch took everything from me! Mother, mother, you must help your daughter!”
Lin Mengwu ran into Shangguan Qing’s arms, crying loudly.
“Don’t worry, my daughter, I will let you get it. You will get what I didn’t get!”
Shangguan Qing made a firm decision. She would never let that face destroyed her daughter’s happiness in this time.
“Mother Li, this philter is from the palace. You put it into the new tea for Prince.”
Shangguan Qing made a decision, although the Empress said that she had another arrangement for Wu’er in the future.
But she only had one daughter, and Wu’er’s happiness was more important than anything else.
“Yes, madam.”
Mother Li, who looked amiable was Shangguan Qing’s nanny.
Having come to the Lins for so many years with Shangguan Qing, she also did many bad things.
At the moment, without asking anything, she left while taking the jade bottle.
“Wu’er, after a while when the medicine works, you can go to make your dream come true.”
Shangguan Qing lovingly stroked her daughter’s face. Wu’er was the apple of her eye. As long as Wu’er wanted, she was willing to bleed herself dry to get them for Wu’er.
“Thank you, my mother, but I don’t know what I should do.”
Abandoning shyness, Lin Mengwu was almost flying with joy.
As long as she had sex with Long Tianhao, she would be the rightful vice Princess of Yu.
As long as she married to Prince Yu, Lin Mengya, the little bitch, would be ground into pieces.
“Silly girl, come here. I will show you something.”
Shangguan Qing touched Lin Mengwu’s forehead, and her eyes flashed a hint of pity.
She held her daughter’s hand, showing Lin Mengwu her dowry. During this short time, Lin Mengwu’s face grew red with expectations in her eyes.
“Mother, don’t worry. I will become the unique Princess Yu. That bitch will be soon like her mother. Looking at today’s situation, although she has returned to normal, she has forgotten the past. I will become a good sister with her in the future.”
A hint of cruelty flashed across her beautiful face.
They could hurt Lin Mengya for the first time, also there would be the second time!
“Is this the courtyard where you grew up?”
In Grace Butterfly Courtyard, Long Tianhao frowned slightly. This courtyard was small, but it was elegantly decorated.
Entering it, there was a small, cobblestone bamboo path.
The courtyard planted with nameless flowers.
Walking along the path, a duplex embroidery building appeared in front of them.
“Well, my dad said that my mother designed it for me. Grace Butterfly Courtyard was also named by my mother.”
Nodding, Lin Mengya looked at the surrounding plants with great yearning.
She felt strange that she came here for the first time, but she felt so familiar as if she had been here thousands of times, tens of thousands of times.
She could even tell what kind of bugs would be under each stone.
“It seems that you are loathing to depart?”
The last suspicion had also been ruled out. Long Tianhao looked at the woman in front of him.
If she was fake, it would be impossible for her to have such deep feelings for this small courtyard.
Only the person who had lived here and had deep feelings to this courtyard would show such attitude.
They walked to a small pavilion in the courtyard inside. Although the mottled red paint had already been eroded by time, Lin Mengya didn’t mind it. Sitting on the stone chair, she stared at the top of the pavilion.
“My mother died when I was very young. Later, my father built this Grace Butterfly Courtyard for me according to my mother’s wishes. The butterflies in this court were painted by my brother. When I was a child, I clamored for butterflies every day. My brother was afraid that I felt sad, so he draw a hundred butterflies on the pavilion.”
These lifelike butterflies were mostly eroded by the wind and rain.
Lin Mengya, however, gazed at it carefully. It was a brother who was not strong but loved his sister.
Time had never faded this emotion between them.
Perhaps this was also the reason why Lin Mengya was stupid but happy.
“Your brother is kind. When I was a child, my eldest brother often secretly took me outside the palace. Later, when the mother imperial concubine discovered it, my eldest brother knelt in front of her and begged for me.”
Long Tianhao seemed to be touched.
Standing outside the pavilion, he recalled what he thought he had forgotten.
At that time, they didn’t understand the struggle for the throne or the power.
But how many princes were earnest since they had born in the imperial family?
There was also a scheme.
“I’ll take you to see my embroidery building, which has a small water mill behind it. Every night, I could hear the sound of the waterwheel.”
Lin Mengya was like a happy butterfly, subconsciously holding Long Tianhao’s hand, and she was eager to show the man everything she had.
Her soft and delicate hands, not only held the hands of Long Tianhao, but also seemed to grasp his heart softly.
The expression on his face, in the case of unknown, also turned soft a little bit.
Actually, he and Lin Mengya still had similarities.
For a whole day, Lin Mengya was like a twittering bird, telling Long Tianhao many interesting stories about Grace Butterfly Courtyard.
Most of the time, Long Tianhao just listened quietly. He didn’t expect that this small yard could carry a lot of joy.
But he also indirectly cleared up. In fact, Lin Mengya was only the nominal eldest daughter of the Lins.
In a real sense, the second daughter Lin Mengwu was much more powerful than Lin Mengya.
A hint of pity rose in his mind.
The girl who could survive in such a bad environment but still smiled so brilliantly was definitely not a spy of the Empress!
Having fun for a day, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao slept in the Grace Butterfly Courtyard at night.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came here when the sky darkened.
“Does Prince feel unaccustomed for the first time to sleep here?”
Shangguan Qing smilingly carrying a hamper came to Grace Butterfly Courtyard with mother Li.
Because of her daily harshness, Grace Butterfly Courtyard didn’t have a kitchen.
However, Long Tianhao was very disrespectful and only dined with Lin Mengya in the small building. So Shangguan Qing had to come here in person, after all, this was related to the happiness of Lin Mengwu.
“Not bad.”
For this kind of uninvited person, Long Tianhao’s answer was always very short.
He was not interested in dealing with other people except Lin Mengya in this mansion.
“These understrappers are negligent in their work, making Prince and Princess laugh at us. This is some snacks made in the small kitchen of my yard. If you feel hungry at night, you can have some.”
Long Tianhao didn’t even look at them. Instead, his eyes were focused on a kite in his hand.
According to Lin Mengya’s words, this kite was made when she was five years old.
Even though it was well-preserved, it was still a bit tattered.
But for a five-year-old girl, it could be called rare.
But why she became stupid later?
