Chapter 377 The Princess Returned to the Prince’s Mansion

The main function of this medication was to stop the growth of the fetus. After taking it for a few days, one should follow up with another kind of medication and the dead fetus would be extracted from the mother’s body.

However, perhaps it was to attract attention, or it was meant to keep her in the dark. With a little alteration made to the prescription, she would appear to be having her normal monthly flow of blood.

The price to pay was that she would lose the normal ability to conceive. Therefore, this medication was definitely not given to Lin Mengwu by Shangguan Qing.

No mother would ruin the life of her own daughter. Therefore it could it was clear who was the culprit.

“Who on earth is her lover? We have to let Father know about this matter, otherwise, the reputation of the Lin family would be ruined.”

Despite the fact that Lin Nansheng did not treat Lin Mengwu as his younger sister, she was after all the daughter of the Lin family. He would naturally want to take responsibility to bring fair back for her .

The daughter of the Lin family should never be taken advantage of.

“Neither have I any idea. He shouldn’t be some celebrity. I’m afraid he might have been gotten rid of by Shangguan Qing by now. Elder Brother, I feel that it’s better for you to keep quiet about this matter while you make your investigation secretly.”

Lin Mengya knew Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu too well. If Lin Mengwu’s lover was the son of some reputable family, Shangguan Qing would have taken the opportunity to marry her daughter off.

Since they had kept so quiet about the matter, it only showed that the baby in Lin Mengwu’s womb was not the child of a nobleman.

If that was the case, how would it be possible for Shangguan Qing to allow the man who would ruin her daughter’s life to live?

“Alright, I get it.”

Although Lin Nansheng did not like the idea, this was a disgraceful thing regardless.

After the items had been tidied and packed up, Lin Nansheng walked her out to the gates personally.

Even if he could not bear to part with his sister once again, Lin Nansheng could only gaze after Lin Mengya as she left in her horse carriage.

Sighing, he had yet to get used to the fact that his precious little sister had married and become another man’s wife.

It made him hate Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu even more. If not for their secret ploys, his little sister would not be married off in haste.

However, he hated himself the most.

Just before Mother passed away, she had earnestly instructed him to take good care of his little sister.

He made a wry smile by stretching his lips. He hoped it was not too late for him to make it up to her.

The atmosphere in the horse carriage was a little gloomy. Both Baizhi and Ms. Tian thought it was because Lin Mengya could not bear to leave her maiden home. In reality, she was thinking about the shameful things Shangguan Qing and her daughter had done.

Seeing that the atmosphere was oppressive and awkward, Baizhi’s eyes darted about for a while before she began telling Ms. Tian about the people in the Prince’s mansion.

At Baizhi’s voice, Lin Mengya gradually woke up from her deep thoughts.

Lin Mengya could not help feeling apologetic when she realized that they were sneaking glances at her. They ought to have misunderstood.

“Ms. Tian, I remember Elder Brother Tian Ning is the same age as my elder brother, am I right? My brother often said that Elder Brother Tian Ning was very intelligent, that he was much better than my brother academically.”

Finally, a faint smile appeared on Ms. Tian’s face when Lin Mengya started to talk about her son.

Back then, she struggled so hard to save his son from the clutches of the King of Hell. Even though her son’s health had always been poor, he had always been intelligent and sensible.

This was especially apparent when the mistress was still alive. Then her son had studied alongside the young master, learning to read and write. The Master had even praised her son for being smart.

However, at the thought of his poor health, she could not help but feel sorrowful. It had been tough on her all these while, raising her child alone. She was not asking for great wealth for him. All she wished for was for him to be healthy.

However, even this wish was too extravagant.

“Don’t worry. We have the best physicians in the prince’s mansion. Even if these physicians were to fail, I will beg the prince to get an imperial physician for Elder Brother Tian Ning. I believe he will eventually recover.”

Lin Mengya patted Ms. Tian’s hand as she comforted her with her gentle yet reassuring words.

Fortunately, she had discovered that he was taking those harmful herbs just in time. Moreover, Elder Brother Tian Ning was in reality not as feeble as it appeared.

With proper nourishing, he would definitely be nursed back to health.

Even Ms. Tian was so heartbroken, what of those mothers who had lost their children because of these harmful medicines? They ought to have felt so broken and hopeless.

Immediately, Lin Mengya’s bitter hatred for the evil and mysterious organization deepened.

Suddenly, the familiar face of Qinghu with a flirty smile flashed in her mind.

Where had that wretched guy gone?

Although Long Tianyu was in the mansion, he had instructed Steward Deng earlier on to bring Lin Mengya back to the prince’s mansion safely.

The moment they alighted the horse carriage, Baiji and Baishao, who had been waiting anxiously for her return, immediately came forward to receive them.

Lin Mengya felt joy washed over her when she saw the two teary-eyed girls. Fortunately, her near-death experience had not reached their ears for now.

Otherwise, these girls, who were increasingly audacious, would follow her everywhere she went from now on and nag at her non-stop.

“You are back finally, Master.”

Baiji’s eyes were turning red. She was obviously trying to hide the feeling of being wronged.

Lin Mengya, who was usually observant, could instantly sense great billows in the mansion. It was unlikely that Baishao, given her character, would let her good sister be wronged.

“This was my wet nurse, Ms. Tian, and her son, Elder Brother Tian Ning. From now on, you shall likewise call her Ms. Tian. Ms. Tian had been with us in for a long time and she knows all the rules and protocols. You may ask her for advice if you have doubts or things you don’t know. Do you understand?”

Lin Mengya’s words were not only meant for her two maidservants.

Most importantly, they were meant for everyone in the mansion. Regardless, Ms. Tian was going to be part of the people in her courtyard. For this reason, Lin Mengya expected everyone who respected her to also respect Ms. Tian.

If anyone wished to challenge Lin Mengya, they would have to go through Ms. Tian first.

Unfortunately for them, Ms. Tian could see through all the scheming of all the venerable people in such an extensive mansion. This kind of ploys was not something Baiji and Baishao could fathom.

“I am merely a servant. Please look after me.”

Ms. Tian had changed into a new set of clothes, but she had turned down the set of silk clothes that Lin Mengya had prepared for her.

Although what she was wearing was a brand new set of clothes, it was made of common navy fabric dotted with white flowers, so she looked plain and was not eye-catching at all.

Her graying hair was coiled up into a neat bun. There was only decorated with a silver hairpin gifted by her mistress in the past.

The most valuable thing in her was the pair of ruby earrings dangling from her earlobes. Even so, the rubies were of mediocre quality. Compared to the older maids who serve the mistresses of large mansions who adorned themselves with gold and silver jewelry, Ms. Tian appeared to have come from a much humbler background.

Nevertheless, she was apparently much more cultivated and well-mannered than the rest.

Moreover, even Ms. Tian was the princess’s wet nurse, she was gentle and humble. She was clearly a cautious person. Not long after their return, word had gone around about Ms. Tian.

“Elder Brother Tian Ning, I’ve already given instructions to Steward Deng. From now on, he will stay in the front yard. I’ve instructed him to find someone to take care of you. This is my courtyard, though not large, I have put in a lot of effort in managing it.”

Lin Mengya gave a brief instruction of her Liuxin Courtyard to them casually. Every corner of this courtyard was the handiwork of Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu.

Recently, Long Tianyu had also gone a little crazy and make his contribution in adding in quite a bit of his ideas to her courtyard.

As a result, Liuxin Courtyard had transformed into an elegant garden. It was said that many outsiders had listed her garden as one of the ten most beautiful courtyards in the Capital City.

Lin Mengya was not bothered about how they address her courtyard. What was more important was that these were the masterpiece of the three nouveau riches.

At first, she thought these decorations were taking too much space.

“True, true… I never imagined that there would such an elegant-looking garden in the world.”

Ms. Tian’s heart welled up with happiness as she took in the sight of the beautiful garden.

She had been worried that she was unworthy to associate with the high and mighty prince, thinking he was an arrogant and cold person. At least, he was not as doting on Miss Lin as how her father was doting on her mother.

However, from what she saw in this courtyard today, she knew her young mistress was truly his beloved.

Otherwise, he would not have the courtyard filled with all kinds of precious and valuable things at the princess’s disposal.

“I am usually in the main room. From now on, you will stay in the wing-room with the three girls. There are just so many matters to attend to in the mansion. I’m thankful for the three maidservants. You already know Baizhi. Baiji and Baishao are also my good helpers. They take care of me to the best of their abilities. If you need anything, Ms. Tian, please feel free to ask them.”

Not only were Baiji and Baishao good girls, but they were also pretty and intelligent. Without a doubt, they were especially faithful and loyal to Lin Mengya.

The moment they heard that Ms. Tian was their master’s wet nurse, they immediately formed a good impression of this unassuming but capable old lady.

They positioned them one on each side of Ms. Tian and began sweetly addressing Ms. Tian as “mommy”. They quickly made her one of them.

“You’ve been very kind, girls. Your master used to have poor health since young. All thanks to you for taking such good care of her, now that she looks radiant and healthy. I’m only a lowly servant, so don’t think so highly of me. Come, these two bangles are for you as a present for our first meeting.”

Smiling, Ms. Tian took off two silver bangles from her wrists.

It was now that Lin Mengya realized the reason Ms. Tian had chosen these two delicately made silver bangles over all other gold and silver accessories because these two bangles were very suitable for young girls.

So it was because she had wanted to give these two girls the bangles as gifts when they first met.
