Lin Mengya and Baizhi returned to the main house. She lit a candle and sat in a chair and read a book quietly.

Baizhi kept looking around and finally saw the two servant girls. Baishao was very angry while Baiji frowned.

"What happened? Who hit Childe Yu?"

Baizhi shook the arms of Baiji anxiously but the latter opened and shut her mouth, unspeaking.

"Master, Childe Yu got injured because he wanted to stand up for you."

Baiji only said this sentence and Baishao, who was quick-tempered, interrupted her and told them the whole story.

"It was Miss Jiang. She thought that she was the concubine of the Prince and criticized you shamelessly. Childe Yu was angry and argued with her. But Miss Jiang asked her servant to strike Childe Yu with a rattan. Luckily, Granny Sun tried her best to protect Childe Yu, otherwise, he might be badly wounded."

Since Lin Mengya was married to the Prince, these three servant girls had been observing her behavior.

She was strict with the servants, but she always dispensed reward and punishment impartially and never wronged others for no reason. Besides, she treated the servants as equals and didn't look down upon them.

They were lucky to have such a kind master. In fact, there were few masters like her in the entire Jin Country.

That was the reason why they would try their best to defend her.

Childe Yu was beaten and suffered great pain because he wanted to stand up for her.

Suddenly, the three servant girls and Lin Zhongyu formed a united front and treated Jiang Ruqin as their common enemy.

Lin Mengya understood their feelings. Xiaoyu was wounded and she was more distressed and upset than anyone else.

Her beautiful eyes gleamed with coldness. Her face was pretty but she wore a severe expression.

"How dare she beat the people in my courtyard! Baishao, ask Steward Deng to bring those who hurt Xiaoyu to the Qinglan Courtyard tomorrow morning."

Lin Mengya said coldly. She knew that Jiang Ruqin was overbearing and always bullied others in Prince Yu's Mansion, but she didn't expect that this bitch dared to whip people in her courtyard!

Lin Mengwu must have poured oil on the fire. She vowed to take revenge on them!

She would find a proper time to settle all the matters with them!

In the study room of Long Tianhao, Steward Deng and Lin Kui stood silently at his desk.

Long Tianhao looked grave. His narrow eyes gleamed with anger and coldness. He was coldly staring at the two bowls of soup on the desk.

The two blue and white porcelain bowls looked the same. Besides, there was the same turbid dark yellow soup in these two bowls.

This soup, which was the best tonic for others, was a deadly poison for him.

He couldn't eat the seafood since he was a child.

His throat would become sore and swollen after eating the seafood. He may even die from suffocation if he couldn't take his medicine made by the royal doctor in time.

Everyone in the mansion knew that he was allergic to seafood. But these two women tried their best to impress him and ignored this detail.

"Throw them away."

He said coldly and made no attempt to conceal his dislike of these two women.

He hated those women who deceived him with insincere flattery and wanted to become his wife to improve their status.

But he clearly knew that the rarest treasures in the royal family were the true feelings and real intention.

"Princess, the Princess wants to see you."

The guards said respectfully outside the study room. Long Tianhao suddenly became expectant and excited.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Steward Deng and Lin Kui were the confidants of Long Tianhao.

They believed that Long Tianhao couldn't trust anyone in the mansion except for them.

But this strange princess was an exception. She was a woman and she got the favor and trust of the Prince.

She had also broken from precedent many times. Was she...

They looked at each other and got the same information from the other's eyes.

The Prince trusted this girl and wanted to train her. She would definitely become an incredible help to the Prince!

The Princess was beautiful and crafty. She would be the best secret agent and could spy against the imperial palace.

"Prince, why didn't you go to bed?"

Lin Mengya was wearing a white yarn dress and she looked purer and prettier in the night.

She wore her hair down around her shoulders and used a white ribbon to tie it up loosely. She didn't look arrogant and bossy, instead, she was soft and gentle at this moment.

Long Tianhao looked at her without surprise as if he had already expected that she would visit him tonight. He nodded at her and continued to read the book of war art in his chair.

"This is the Tremella Lily Soup that I told the kitchen to prepare for you. It's the best midnight snack. Prince, you can have a rest and enjoy it."

Lin Mengya also prepared a midnight snack for him. It was the ordinary Tremella Lily Soup but she was careful and took his preferences into consideration.

Long Tianhao nodded, put down the book in his hand, and had the soup quietly.

"Prince, I have something important to discuss with you."

As the saying goes, ' Gifts blind the eyes.' Lin Mengya would prepare a gift to please the Prince before asking him for permission.

It seemed that Long Tianhao liked this sweet but not sickly Tremella Lily Soup. He didn't look so cold now.

But his light-colored thi
