Chapter 633 Brother Came to Visit Her

Lin Mengya finally regained some strength after lying in bed for a whole day.

However, she had no strength to clean up the mess in the whole room. So she had to call Hongyu to help.

Besides, only Hongyu probably could understand her inconvenience in some things.

“Master, you sit here first and drink this red jujube gelatin soup.” Hongyu smiled and looked at the princess as she put a bowl of warm soup on the table.

“Thank you, I…” Lin Mengya lowered her head and blushed. Fortunately, Hongyu was the most considerate girl, and she didn’t ask anything. When Lin Mengya was drinking soup, she cleaned up the messy room.

“Did the prince go out?” Even in the unusual conditions of last night, Long Tianyu still cared about her feelings and was extremely gentle with her, so that everything last night had not turned into a nightmare.

Lin Mengya felt that her feelings for Long Tianyu were more tender now, but she wasn’t sure whether it was because of their deeper connection.

“Yes, the prince went out early in the morning. He specially ordered our servants not to disturb you casually. Moreover, the prince also specially ordered the kitchen to stew some chicken soup for you. He said that he would come back to have dinner with you tonight.”

After hearing Hongyu’s words, Lin Mengya felt sweeter than the red jujube gelatin soup in the bowl.

Things in a couple’s bedroom naturally couldn’t be told to outsiders. Fortunately, Lin Mengya was particularly thick-skinned, and she thought nothing was embarrassing about it.

After the room was cleaning, she changed into a simple uniform with the help of Hongyu. Several women in the yard, including the respected Ms. Tian, looked at Lin Mengya who was shy as a newlywed with extremely ambiguous eyes.

Just when she almost couldn’t hold it anymore and wanted to surrender, there came a message from the gatekeeper. “Princess, Master Lin Nansheng is here to see you.”

Hearing that Lin Nansheng came, they temporarily cut Lin Mengya some slack and let her go.

Lin Mengya couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was thankful to her brother who could save her every time.

“Please come in. Hongyu, prepare some tea.” Although she had met him in the palace yesterday, she had something important to do and hadn’t had a proper conversation with her brother.

Now everything had finally come to an end. She had also wanted to invite her brother over to see her. Unexpectedly, it was her brother who came first.

Although Lin Nansheng was a man, he was Lin Mengya’s only biological brother after all.

Therefore, Lin Nansheng was soon invited to Lin Mengya in Liuxin Courtyard. He was tall and straight in a light blue shirt. Although it highlighted his thinness, he looked extraordinarily energetic.

He had a handsome face somewhat similar to Lin Mengya’s, and he smiled gently and lovingly at his younger sister.

There were a gentle and domineering Long Tianyu and a sexually ambiguous Qinghu. Lin Nansheng had been in the army all the year-round, which had tempered his rugged heroic temperament and made people feel that he was usually mature for a young man.

“Brother—”

Her nose twitched. Lin Mengya was no longer the noble and dignified princess in public as yesterday.

She ran to hold her brother’s rough hands, just as she had always done after having looked forward to her brother’s return countless times when she was a little girl. “Mengya, I brought you something. This is your favorite pastry. Stop crying. You are a big girl now.”

Despite his many worries for his sister, Lin Nansheng was not a man who was good at expressing his feelings. All he could do was do his best to help and protect his sister.

Fortunately, that man was as nice to Lin Mengya as him.

Otherwise, whether he was a prince or not, Lin Nansheng would do his best to make his sister live a happy life. “Why, I’m just happy to see my brother. Brother, why are you thinner again? Didn’t you eat well?”

In front of her brother, Lin Mengya could completely remove all her disguise and strength.

Lin Nansheng patted her sister’s head and suddenly felt that this kind of action seemed to be no longer suitable for her. He could not help feeling sorry.

He had been in the army for many years, and his only regret was that he hadn’t taken his sister with him and protected her.

She had suffered a lot. As an elder brother, he was simply too bad. “I’m fine, don’t worry. Let me take a good look at you to see if you are gaining weight again.”

Lin Mengya smiled sweetly and talked to her brother. With her brother, she always had so many things to say.

However, after mentioning the identity of their mother, the two sighed deeply. “Unexpectedly, our mother had such a life experience. No wonder I often saw her sneak out to chat with the merchants of the Nation of Lintian when I was a child. It turned out that she just missed her homeland.”

Recalling the past, Lin Nansheng learnt something new.

Lin Nansheng had quickly accepted the fact that their mother was the princess royal of the Nation of Lintian.

No wonder their father, even if he would rather have persevered in the bitterly cold land than go to war with the Nation of Lintian. It turned out that he had done it because of their mother.

“Well, but I think she wanted to send a message to her family that she was doing well. By the way, brother, there is something that I think I should tell you.”

Since the two started a private conversation, there were no outsiders in the house. Now, Lin Mengya also asked others to leave except Qinghu. Her brisk tone suddenly turned serious, and Lin Nansheng couldn’t help becoming a little nervous.

“In addition to being the princess royal of the Nation of Lintian, our mother was also the elder of the Pavilion of Herbs and a disciple of Shen Xie the genius doctor. Moreover, she had a medical book called Music Score for Green Stringed Instrument. For various reasons, now I’m keeping this medical book for the time being. But what I want to say is that many people, whether it’s in the arena or the court, have an eye for this medical book. However, I have been tight-lipped and only claimed that the book was destroyed. The prescriptions in the book were recorded by our mother. Brother, you must be careful. I’m afraid that those people who can’t get the book will attack you.”

Since she learned that the book was passed down from her mother, Lin Mengya had secretly sent many masters in Sanjue Hall to protect her brother.

Fortunately, she had attracted a lot of attention before, so no one had attacked her bother.

But her current identity and power could guarantee her safety to a certain extent.

However, her brother of the same mother might have become the target for some people.

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Lin Nansheng was slightly taken aback.

There was a touch of surprise in his eyes. But it didn’t seem to be so surprising. “Do you know the inside story, brother?”

Lin Mengya stared at her brother’s eyes, and the latter nodded gently under the straightforward gaze of his sister. He turned the cup in his hand, and the light yellow tea was shaking, like his heart where the secret had been buried for a long time, but it was being revealed little by little.

“The reason why our father wanted to bring me to the barracks was to avoid some people. It was just that you didn’t attract the attention of those people back then, so you could grow up safely.”

The truth always caught her off guard.

Lin Mengya didn’t know what to say. In the past, she had thought her father and brother felt that she was a burden, so they had left her at home.

Although she had never resented her father or elder brother, she had not expected that the pain of separation for many years was just meant for her to grow up peacefully.

The atmosphere became extremely silent for a while. Even Qinghu felt that the news came as a surprise.

“Huh—others said that our father left me alone at home because he would remember our late mother when he saw me. Although I knew that was not the case, every time our father left, I always wanted to ask him why he couldn’t take me away with him and why he wanted to leave me alone in that house.”

After a long time, Lin Mengya exhaled and said quietly. She had just come up with these words naturally.

Maybe these were the questions that Lin Mengya, who had once been innocent and kind, had always wanted to ask. She was too kind, so even if she had been treated that way, she still didn’t resent anyone.

It was just that all she wanted was an explanation.

“Our father had no other choice. When Shangguan Qing married into our family, he knew that she was one of those people. If it weren’t for Ms. Tian’s alertness at the time, even I would have been killed by her. Mengya, the reason why you became like that was by no means that simple. However, our father and I could hardly look after ourselves, so that’s why…”

Lin Mengya knew that her brother wasn’t making an excuse for what had happened at that time. As soon as her mother died, her father was forced to marry Shangguan Qing by the empress. At that time, the Lin family had almost broken off the relationship with his father because of his insistence on marrying an unidentified woman.

At this time her father was besieged on both sides and she was just a baby. Therefore, Shangguan Qing had seized the opportunity to hurt her. But it was an act of revenge she would take herself!

“Brother, I don’t blame you or our father. It was a blessing in disguise. If Shangguan Qing hadn’t poisoned me, how could I have lived a stable life for more than ten years? You and our father must not take this matter to heart. But Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu, have they ever done anything unusual in these days?”

She didn’t want to continue this topic, because she didn’t want her brother to feel guilty about it anymore. Lin Mengya recollected herself, and she no longer cared about it.
