Chapter 881 Entering the Back Mountain for the First Time

Im afraid youre the only one who can take such drastic measures. Arent you afraid the Xin Family will be pushed too hard and put their eyes on Ningqiu and Xiaoyu?

Qinghu shook his head with worries in his fox eyes.

He knew that Lin Mengya had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, and she was especially good at using this kind of unscrupulous method.

Qinghu revealed the flaws. The Xin Family was not a fool.

Although this kind of method was superb, it was all aimed at the Xin Family, and it happened after their arrival.

Even those, who were not clever enough, would think this matter had something to do with them.

Under such circ.u.mstances, the Xin Family would be more and more cautious about this matter.

It wasnt like what Lin Mengya had guessed. The Xin Family didnt treat them as their saviors.

Let them go, but do you really believe they didnt take any action?

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly.

She pouted and looked at the new vases that were outside of Ningqius room.

Qinghu immediately understood. It seemed that the Xin Family had some doubts about them. When they went out, they had turned Ningqius courtyard upside down.

Dont worry. We all have important things on our own. So even if they searched Xiaoyus house, they still couldnt find anything. The Xin Family is not stupid. They wont be fooled so easily.

She looked at her slender fingers. In fact, from the moment she came in, she had smelled something different in the air.

How could she not be wary of others when she was out?

Therefore, both Xiaoyus room and Ningqius courtyard had been drugged by her.

This powder was originally colorless and tasteless, but after it was contacted with the scent of strangers, the smell of it would change.

Moreover, all the people in the Xin Family were either carrying poison or some bug-repelling powder with them.

Normally, the young ladys room was forbidden to others no matter whether it was to change things or tidy up the courtyard.

Now nothing else in the inner room had changed. Everything had been placed in exactly the same way.

So, it was easy to know where the smell came from.

So, you dont have to worry about anything else. Just wait for the Xin Family to come and invite us. I dare say that the Xin Family is already in chaos currently. Since they rely on the Pool of Various Venomous Insects to flourish, then they must pay more attention to the pool than anyone else. Have a good rest. Everything depends on you.

Lin Mengya said those last words to Ningqiu.

Ningqiu nodded seriously. She knew what Lin Mengya said, but it was hard to do it well.

After coming out of Ningqius yard, Lin Mengya and the other two naturally returned to the western courtyard in a cold and aloof manner.

Today the host of the banquet was Madam Xin. And all her guests were some madams and young ladies.

As for Xiaoyu and the other men, they also had a place to go.

Although Xiaoyu looked a little childish, he was as wicked as Lin Mengya in his bones.

For old foxes like Xin Mu, it was too difficult to get information out of him.

What was more, Lin Mengya had told him long ago that it was better for him to have thirty percent of truth and thirty percent of lies in his talking, and the remaining forty percent should be nonsense.

In this way, it would be very difficult for others to find useful information.

When they got back to the western yard, Xiaoyu had not come back yet.

Replete, Lin Mengya, who had been working for a long time, felt a little tired and went back to her room to sleep.

However, since Baisu and Qinghu were thinking about returning to Dajin, Lin Mengya had no choice but to force herself to talk with them.

Chatting about the things that happened in the courtyard before, Qinghu suddenly mentioned something which Lin Mengya had never thought about or had deliberately avoided.

Girl, if you go back this time, what ident.i.ty will you use to stay with Long Tianyu?

Hearing this, the three of them stopped at the same time.

Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment. Then she picked up a pumpkin seed at the table and threw it into her mouth.

I am who I am. Although the Princess Yu is dead, I still have other ident.i.ties?

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and gave Qinghu a cavalier smile.

However, Qinghu glared at her exasperatedly and s.n.a.t.c.hed the pumpkin seeds from her hand.

You know what I mean, so you dont have to hide it from me. I know that you love him. If Long Tianyu really marries someone else, Ill see what you can do!

Lin Mengya looked at Qinghu with a complicated expression and slowly leaned against the small couch behind her.

This guy is really asking for trouble.

She was fully aware of Long Tianyus feelings towards her.

Moreover, Lin Mengya was already dead in Dajin. It was appropriate for Long Tianyu to marry another one at this time except for being a little heartless.

But if she really rushed back to Dajin, what she got was the news that he had married someone else.

In the end, she was afraid that she could not accept it.

What can I do? Slap him and say, Even if Im not with you, I can still find a good man, and then take you to live in seclusion and no longer care about the affairs of the world? You can think about it. But if it comes to the present, the reaction will be different. So, we can only take it step by step.

Lin Mengya shrugged her shoulders. It was not that she was scared, but that no one could really be free and easy after they met this kind of love.

If he really dares to let you down, I will kill him first!

Qinghu said coldly. But the next moment, he met Lin Mengyas disapproving eyes.

No, he will be a good emperor. Its a pity to kill him. Why dont we teach him a lesson for the rest of his life?

Rubbing her chin, Lin Mengya smiled evilly.

Qinghu looked at her and instantly understood what she meant.

Okay, as your command!

Baisu, who was listening by the side and peeling pumpkin seeds for Lin Mengya, looked at the other two with a puzzled look.

Huh? Did she miss something? Why did the two of them smile like that, and she had no idea what was going on?

She looked at Qinghu suspiciously and turned to look at her mistress.

In the end, she could only quietly put the peeled pumpkin seeds in front of her mistress.

She did not need to worry about this kind of thing. As long as her mistress was happy, it was not a big deal.

As Lin Mengya expected, on the second day after Madam Xins banquet, the patriarch of the Xin Family invited everyone out of the house in the name of taking Xiaoyu to travel around.

As Xiaoyus attendants, of course, Lin Mengya and the other two would follow him.

But this time, they were still by Ningqius side.

She raised her head and kept a straight face, as if no strangers were allowed to get closer.

It was indeed an idle threat.

As soon as they had breakfast, they were taken to wander around.

After Xiaoyu came back last night, he had someone send them a message.

It was said that he had hinted to Xin Mu that he was going to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.

But Xin Mu, an old fox, neither agreed nor refused him clearly.

He just changed the topic, which made Xiaoyu gnash his teeth with hatred.

But today, the old man offered to take everyone to the back mountain to have a look.

However, both Xiaoyu and Ningqiu were seemingly put in a difficult position.

After all, it was a forbidden area. As outsiders, it was not appropriate for them to enter.

However, Xin Mus face was full of smiles today, and he completely forgot the so-called rule that no one was allowed to enter the forbidden area.

And he was saying that they were a family, so it was okay to come in and have a look.

That being said, Xiaoyu and Ningqiu could only bring one servant with each.

Xiaoyu brought a man Lin Mengya didnt see before with him, and Ningqiu, of course, chose Lin Mengya to go with her.

As for Qinghu and Baisu, they would stay where they were and wait for them.

The four of them followed Xin Mu to the back mountain.

They came out from the back door of the Xin Manor. In fact, after walking dozens of meters, they entered another yard.

She knew that the Xin Family was extremely strict with the guarding of the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, but she didnt expect that it was comparable to a modern prison.

This is the most important place for the Xin Family, and this is the only way to get into the Pool of Various Venomous Insects. If anyone wants to get in from another place, Im afraid that he will be poisoned to death before he gets close to it.

Xin Mu was leading the way. Although he wasnt showing off, the pride on his face could not hide anyway.

This is the first time Ive seen it. My grandfathers family is indeed powerful.

Xiaoyu looked around and flattered him without hesitation.

Lin Mengya also vaguely looked around. From the outside, this was just an ordinary big courtyard with high walls.

But from the moment she entered the gray iron gate, Lin Mengya could feel the gazes from different angles.

The courtyard was built against the mountains. It looked boundless. Some yards were old, and some were new. It should have been built in different eras.

Every few steps, there was a sentry post on the high wall.

According to Lin Mengyas speculation, even Qinghu who was a master of Lightness Techniques could hardly cross this wall.

Whats more, those sentry posts were very open, and there were almost no blind spots in sight.

It seemed that it was very difficult to sneak in without anyone noticing.

The wide courtyard was at the foot of the back mountain.

There were many people in the same uniform on patrol here. It seemed that they were the armed forces of the Xin Family.

Although Lin Mengya did not know martial arts, the people here were all tall and strong, and their eyes were shrewd. They did not look like ordinary people.

Lin Mengya saw that even if Xin Mu took them up the mountain, he had to take out a token and show it to the man who seemed to be the manager here.

As soon as the latter waved his hand, a few people immediately stepped forward and trapped them in the center.

Xiaoyu frowned and was about to lose his temper when Xin Mu came up to him with an apologetic smile.

Im really sorry, Your Highness. This is the rule pa.s.sed down from our ancestors, not just against you. After all, the Pool of Various Venomous Insects is so important to us. Even if His Majesty comes personally, there will be a lot of inconveniences as well. Please forgive us, Your Highness.
