Chapter 169 Sothing was Suspicious
“Given that sothing so serious happened to his wife, he was surely going to hate us for this.”
Up until this mont, Lin ngya could not guarantee that Mada Wang would wake up.
Lin ngya could not be sure if Mada Wang’s wound turn septic, or if her operation was successful, or if Mada Wang was going to make it through this.
These were things she could not foretell.
“Wang Hanlin shared a deep and firm relationship with his wife. In fact, all these years the thought of taking in concubines never crossed his mind. He had always gone along with his wife’s suggestions and wishes.”
None of the people with a high standing within the capital city escaped the eyes of Long Tianhao, who was aware of their every move.
It was not surprising that Long Tianhao knew so much about Wang Hanlin.
However, Lin ngya still felt sothing was amiss.
If the relationship between Wang Hanlin and his wife was intimate and cordial, would he not ask to see his wife even if Long Tianhao invited him into his study?
“How was his mood? Did he have a conflict with you while he was there?”
Long Tianhao pondered for a second then replied, saying, “No, he would not hold back his tears and requested for so ti to be alone in my study. He claid that he didn’t wish to speak to anyone at that ti.”
Lin ngya, having exceptional sharp senses, imdiately sensed sothing was amiss.
Back when her own mother passed away, she heard that her father had vomited much blood and for a good half a year afterward, he was in a state of depression.
He was even more heartbroken when he saw his wife’s body.
Although not all n were like her father, it was bizarre for Wang Hanlin to react in this way.
“Your Highness, I think it would be a good idea for you to go back to your study to check if anything is missing, or if there’s sothing which was initially not there.”
Lin ngya had a feeling that Wang Hanlin was behaving strangely.
According to Long Tianhao’s account, he had already sent for n to seal off the entire Liuxin courtyard when Mada Wang got into the accident.
Therefore, those who knew what had happened and could still go to Qinwu Courtyard must be soone close to Lin ngya or Long Tianhao.
These people, however, would not go around to talk about what happened without their permission or instructions.
However, they did not rule out the possibility that soone else could have leaked the information.
All in all, she sensed sothing was not quite right, but she was unable to put a finger to it.
“Do you think there was sothing wrong with Wang Hanlin?”
They were direct and open with each other since there were only the two of them in the room.
Lin ngya nodded as she started feeling a slight headache.
Too much had happened within a short ti and everything was so chaotic. She wished she could smooth things out, but there were simply too much for her to bear.
“Maybe I’m worrying too much. My movent is being restricted now, so it’s not convenient for to move around. You have to be careful.”
Sitting on the little bed the window, Lin ngya lifted her fingers to massage her brows.
Having done an intensive operation which required speed and precision, Lin ngya’s energy had been sapped. She was starting to feel the exhaustion set in.
However, wave after wave of other matters kept coming up. She felt overwheld.
Looking at the tired-looking Lin ngya, Long Tianhao’s ached for her.
“Sigh, what’s wrong with you?”
Lin ngya let out a cry of surprise as Long Tianhao carried her into his arms.
She opened her eyes and stared at this handso face and her heart started palpitating wildly.
As Long Tianhao carried Lin ngya in his arms, he thought she almost weighed nothing.
Frowning, he thought she was too skinny and this was not a sign for her health.
He bent down and put her lightly onto the bed, gently removed her shoes and placed them beside the bed.
“The night breeze could be strong, so you have to put on more blankets. Ask Baiji to light the heater if you feel cold.”
Long Tianhao tenderly instructed as he pulled the blanket over Lin ngya carefully.
“I will.”
Lin ngya was dazed by Long Tianhao’s tenderness, so much so she did not know how to respond to his sweet gestures.
Was this the cold Prince Yu she used to know?
“You have labored much for the matters within the mansion. Ruqin may be insensible, but she is after all Mother’s favorite niece. Please spare her life on account of Mother.”
Lin ngya tensed up a little and she felt a sense of bitterness in her heart.
Did he deliberately show her kindness and favor so she could spare his cousin sister’s life?
She tried to hide the look of disappointnt in her eyes. She guessed that Long Tianhao could tell that the banknote was from Jiang Ruqin.
“Don’t worry, I will surely protect the Jiang Family. As for Ruqin, I would not make things difficult for her.”
She had after all grown up together with Long Tianhao as cousins.
She should have learned her lesson by now, having created such a grave problem.
Nevertheless, Lin ngya could not stop feeling a sadness in her heart.
“Would you like sothing to eat? I’ll get the kitchen to prepare so food for you.”
Long Tianhao had casually ntioned Jiang Ruqin and made this request to Lin ngya in fear that Concubine De would be upset.
Unexpectedly, Lin ngya turned away from him, closed her eyes and said flatly, “I’m tired. I want to take a nap. Please leave, Your Highness.”
Tired? Long Tianhao gazed at Lin ngya, who was lying there fully dressed. In his mind, he was still thinking about what food to prepare for Lin ngya to nurture her back to health.
Lin ngya heard the door opened and closed behind her.
She slowly opened her eyes in the next second.
Forcing a smile, she shook her head and wondered why she was feeling this way.
She was well aware that she and Long Tianhao were simply partners in a partnership, but sohow, she just could not control her own heart.
Just when she was wallowing in self-pity, a bowl of fragrant white porridge appeared before her unexpectedly.
As she looked in the direction of the bowl of porridge, she caught sight of a handso, smiling Qinghu looking at her with fawning adoration.
“Why are you giving white porridge? I haven’t eaten anything nutritious all day and this porridge is not going to fill my hunger.”
Although Lin ngya seed to be complaining, she still took over the bowl of white porridge.
The porridge may look plain, but it was in fact full of goodness.
In fact, it contained small pieces of bamboo shoot, corn, and mushroom, which made the porridge very tasty indeed.
She finished the entire bowl in two to three gulps, then looked pleadingly towards Qinghu, aning to tell him that she was still hungry.
“Can you take so more?”
Qinghu asked, testing her, but Lin ngya was quick to give him a definite answer.
A look of surprise flashed across Qinghu’s eyes. He took over the bowl from Lin ngya and laughing to himself, he said, “I have been worrying too much. I thought you wouldn’t have any appetite after going through what happened.”
For this reason, he had made an effort to prepare this three-ingredients porridge for Lin ngya, lest she was reminded of the bloody scene if he served at in the porridge.
“Don’t you worry. I feel like eating sothing more flavorful. Can you prepare sothing nice for ?”
Were you kidding ? Having been through five years of dical school, which dical student would freak out at the sight of organs?
It was generally understood that during the anatomy lessons, many faint-hearted girls would throw up even if they have to dissect frogs, not to ntion human bodies.
Of course, Lin ngya had turned pale at the sight of the bodies and resorted to being a vegetarian for a year.
Nevertheless, all the dical students grew numb to this from the second year onwards.
Subsequently, they were even able to eat barbecue at while discussing the tissues in the human body and other diseases at the sa ti during their break ti. This had beco the norm to them.
For this reason, her class have been labelled as the class of devils.
Therefore, what she did on Mada Wang was a trivial matter!
“Sigh, I have to give it to you, lass. Are you even a woman?”
Qinghu was speechless, putting his palm to his forehead as he let out a sigh.
The first ti Qinghu killed and saw blood, he had vomited for three days and three nights, unable to keep anything down.
He would never expect this girl to not feel any discomfort.
“Is there about whether I’m a lady?”
Lin ngya lifted her head and puffed up her chest as she stared threateningly at Qinghu.
Qinghu gave up. Without turning back, he fled her room with the empty bowl in his hand.
Finally, a smile appeared on Lin ngya’s face.
She felt free from all worried around this guy.
Subsequently, Lin ngya sat with Baizhi at a big table as they ate, looking as if nothing had happened.
The other three maidservants who witnessed Mada Wang’s wretched state were trying hard to suppress their feeling of nauseous by drinking lots of water and tea.
“Can you try to eat with grace, lass? You look worse than a savage dog eating.”
Qinghu was easy with food because anyways he usually ate simply and was not particular about the taste.
Moreover, it was actually enjoynt to him to be watching Lin ngya eating so heartily.
“Stop spouting nonsense if you have nothing better to say. You are more like a savage dog!”
Lin ngya rolled her eyes at Qinghu. One could not really bla her for eating this way.
This was a habit ford since the ti she was studying at the university. She often skipped als when she was doing laboratory work with the teacher.
During those days, she would return to her dormitory late and eat like a glutton.
Today, she found the feeling she used to have.
“Master, today had been a tough day for you, so you must eat more to make up for your energy.”
Baiji rolled her eyes at Qinghu as well. She was by far the most sensible and steady person in the entire Liuxin Courtyard.
As ti went by, she had beco the guardian of the Liuxin Courtyard.
Even Qinghu had to give Baiji face for this reason.
“Oh yes, have you sent soone to inform your family about wanting to et them?”
Lin ngya was happily enjoying the delicacies which Qinghu had just prepared.
Because of how eventful the day was, the people in the entire courtyard had not had a proper al for the day.
No matter what awaited them tomorrow, it was still necessary for their stomach to filled first.
“Not yet. It’s so busy in the mansion. I’m afraid they would add to the trouble.”
There was a look of embarrassnt on Baiji’s face.
Smiling, Lin ngya turned to Baishao.
“And yes, Baishao, I rember hearing you say that you have a mother and brothers and sisters in your family?”
Baishao froze for a mont and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
“How about you bring your family here too. I would like them to do a favor.”
Baiji had ntioned Lin ngya’s arrangent to Baishao just now.
After all, Lin ngya had always treated all four of them the sa. Baiji was worried that Baishao would think that Lin ngya was showing partiality towards her.
However, Baishao did not think in that way. She pondered for a mont, shook her head and said, “I don’t think that’s necessary, Master. My family mbers are unrefined and can’t really handle important jobs. They may ruin everything if you entrust anything to them.”
