Chapter 962 Visiting the Seventh Prince

Lin Mengya thought, “Feng Zidie is an idiot. How could she hand such a life-saving treasure to others?

“Miss Tong was harboring malicious intentions. Since she found that place to hide the jade flower, how could it still be there?

“Not long ago, the Imperial Palace was in chaos because of the confrontation between the Crown Prince and Long Tianyu.

“The jade flower would have been secretly taken out of the palace back then.”

Lin Mengya sighed. In the end, she still sent someone to the place where Feng Zidie confessed to looking for it.

“Go to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion.”

Lin Mengya turned around to get into the sedan and felt a little reluctant.

If she had acted earlier, she would not have dawdled and let someone else take advantage of it.

Miss Tong had been locked up in the Seventh Prince Long Qinghan’s Mansion. Compared with Feng Zidie, who was muddle-headed, the one behind the scenes was the real mastermind.

Nowadays, Princess Rongan had become the most popular person in Dajin.

The servants of the Seventh Prince’s Mansion did not dare to stop her. When they saw the royal sedan chair in the distance, they hurried to run into the mansion and inform Long Qinghan.

“Third sister-in-law, what brought you here today?”

When Lin Mengya just alighted from the sedan chair, Long Qinghan, who had a good relationship with her, came up to her.

Lin Mengya looked at Long Qinghan’s handsome face and revealed a little complicated expression.

“Your Highness, I think I should make some ointment for you.”

Half of Long Qinghan’s handsome face was occupied by A large bruised circle.

Long Qinghan looked at his sister-in-law with a heart full of grievance.

“See, even my third sister-in-law can’t stand to see, but the tigress at home is still eager to try.”

Long Qinghan sighed and said, “Third sister-in-law, thank you for your kindness. Let’s talk inside.”

Lin Mengya knew that it would be unkind to Long Qinghan if she laughed out at this moment.

So she frowned and had a hard time restraining herself. She quickened her pace to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion with Baisu.

“Get out of here!”

As soon as they got to the courtyard, they heard a clear roar.

Lin Mengya covered the smile on her lips with her hand, trying not to reveal her gloat.

Long Qinghan looked toward the inner courtyard in a panic, but he had to pretend not to care because Lin Mengya was there.

However, it was clear that his legs were about to rush over, causing him to look overly anxious.

Lin Mengya cleared her throat. “Your Highness, you may go to attend to important affairs. We came in a hurry, and we are a little thirsty.”

Long Qinghan glanced at Lin Mengya gratefully and immediately asked his servants to bring Lin Mengya and her maid to the reception hall to wait.

Watching Long Qinghan leave in a big rush, Lin Mengya finally could burst into laughter.

“It is rare to see this guy like this.”

She had never been to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion before. Compared to Prince Yu’s Mansion, it looked a little more elegant here.

Sitting in the reception hall, the butler of the Seventh Prince’s Mansion served Princess Rongan respectfully.

Lin Mengya, who had a sharp ear, heard some noises from the backyard from time to time.

She glanced at the butler with the fire of gossip burning in her heart.

“This new lady of your mansion is … is awesome!”

How could that lady not be awesome? She did not know much about Long Qinghan’s martial arts skills, but Long Tianyu once mentioned that they were taught by the same master. So Long Qinghan must be a top-notch expert as well.

However, it was clear that half of his face had been trampled.

She did not expect Long Qinghan to be such a spoony.

“Your Highness, you are humorous. Well, our lady … is indeed awesome.”

The butler’s old face trembled. He vouched with his dignity that he did not laugh just now.

Seeing the butler’s look, Lin Mengya became more curious.

She wondered, “It is said that this new lady is the reincarnation of a tigress, extremely fierce.

“However, the butler seems to have a good impression of the new lady.”

Lin Mengya then said, “Oh? if so, I’d like to see the new lady all the more. I wonder when it is convenient…”

“At any time. It’s convenient for me now. I’d like to see who is so fearless to seduce my husband!”

A domineering voice sounded from outside the reception hall. After that, a girl in fiery red clothes boldly entered the reception hall.

The girl looked about 17 or 18. Her fair pinkish face was embedded with a pair of bright eyes.

Although she was called “Lady”, her hairstyle was certainly a young girl’s.

Especially her slightly pouted red lips, which carried a trace of stubbornness and naughtiness.

As soon as the young girl came in, she rushed toward Lin Mengya with a cold pretty face.

Baisu was not to be outdone. She strode in front of her master and protected her, facing the girl coldly.

Not waiting for Lin Mengya to speak, the young girl looked at her up and down carelessly.

The young girl’s eyes were somehow tinged with a little helplessness. Then she nibbled her lower lip and shouted at the person behind her.

“You have good taste. This one is not bad. If you marry anyone else in the future, take her as your standard. Those women offered by the officials the other day are not good people. I don’t hope to deal with some spies every day.”

Hearing this, Lin Mengya was stunned.

She wondered, “Is that a recognition to me? “Should I say ‘thank you’ to her?”

“My lady, she is my third brother’s wife. If I dare to marry her, my third brother will raze our mansion to the ground.”

Long Qinghan wrapped his hand around the girl’s shoulder and said in a doting tone. There seemed to be no room in his heart and eyes for anyone else.

The young girl turned around, looked at Lin Mengya in confusion, and scratched her head.

Then she curled her lips into a gentle smile.

“Sorry, third sister-in-law. No wonder your breath is so pure, unlike the spies offered by those old men.”

The scene was very awkward for a time. However, the young girl’s attitude was natural and graceful, changing after making a mistake.

Lin Mengya was fond of this lovely girl at once. She shook her head with a smile, and Baisu moved aside.

“It doesn’t matter. By the way, how do you like the gift I gave you last time?”

Lin Mengya blinked her eyes. She selected the “gift” herself, asked someone to write down a detailed “Instructions of Usage”, and secretly handed it to this new lady finally.

As expected, the young girl’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she broke free from Long Qinghan’s embrace, rushed to Lin Mengya, held her hands, and shook them back and forth.

“Great! I like it very much. Third sister-in-law, do you have any other recommendations?”

Long Qinghan was totally confused on the side. He had no clue that his wife was discussing the punitive measures against him with Lin Mengya.

If he knew those things like the washboard, which tortured him and made him wish to die, were gifted by Lin Mengya, he would run away with his wife at once.

Unfortunately, his wife had been influenced by Lin Mengya.

“There are many more. I’ll teach you when I have time in the future.”

Lin Mengya smiled gently.

The young girl in red immediately nodded hard, her eyes shining with adoration.

Lin Mengya tried so hard to hold back her laughter that she almost suffered an internal injury.

However, she and this new lady were the “Twin Tigresses of the Royal Family” on par with each other in the Capital City.

So she couldn’t help having a sympathetic feeling.

She held the young girl’s hand to sit down, ignored Long Qinghan’s gestures, and chatted with her.

“May I know your name?”

Lin Mengya’s kind attitude, coupled with her beautiful appearance, made it difficult for people to dislike her.

“My name is Gu Pan. You can call me Pan’er.”

Lin Mengya nodded. She thought that Miss Gu was a rare interesting person.

“Nice name. I heard some rumors about you outside. When I see you today, I’m more certain that the rumors are not credible.”

Lin Mengya herself often became the subject of gossip among those bored people. Now she saw Gu Pan with her own eyes and felt even more strongly that Gu Pan wasn’t an outrageous and unreasonable person.

Long Qinghan was shrewd. He would not have fallen in love with Gu Pan if she was just an arrogant and domineering woman.

Gu Pan was very glad to hear that.

She grabbed onto Lin Mengya’s sleeve and began pouring out the frustration in her heart.

“Third sister-in-law, you have sharp eyes. I may have come from a rough background, but I am somehow reasonable. My husband’s previous concubines have chaotic auras. I can tell at a glance that they’re not good people. My husband has plenty of affairs to attend to outside. If he can’t rest at ease at home, he will fall ill.”

Gu Pan said with a serious face. Lin Mengya could not help but glance at Long Qinghan and saw the happy smile on his face. She could more or less guess what had happened between Gu Pan and Long Qinghan.

Compared with Long Tianyu, Qinghan needed to hide more things.

Although he once had many concubines, those women seemed to have come to keep watch on him or even attempted to control him.

Just like Long Tianyu, Long Qinghan never had a moment’s respite.

He had to wear a hypocritical mask at all times to deal with all sorts of people.

Therefore, Gu Pan was the exceptional one whom he could not part with and who softened his heart.

She understood all these things.

“Pan’er, good points. I’ve learned a lot from you. You’ve done very well. You should be rewarded.”

Gu Pan looked at Lin Mengya with tears in her eyes as if she had seen her family. It was obvious that Gu Pan had taken Lin Mengya as her best friend.

“I think the same. But my husband told me not to make it widely known. I know those old men will send more beauties to my husband in the future. Therefore, I’ve made a deal with my husband that in going forward, I must see the beauty myself and decide whether she can stay or not, regardless of who offered her to my husband. I took you wrong today. Please punish me.”

Seeing how serious and responsible Gu Pan was, there was no reason for Lin Mengya to get angry with her.

However, she just captured a piece of information from Gu Pan’s words. Lin Mengya wondered, “Breath? What did she mean by that?”

Then she said, “Pan’er, you mentioned ‘breath’ just now. How did you perceive that people’s breaths are different?”

Speaking of this, Gu Pan glared at Long Qinghan. Even though Long Qinghan was smiling obsequiously, she was still angry.

“My sense of smell since childhood is different from others. I can smell some breaths that ordinary people can’t. My master said that I was gifted, but some laic doesn’t believe it!”
