Chapter 188 A Bad Atmosphere in Prince Yu’s Mansion
“Ah—”
That man whose tongue was cut scread out.
He fell down on the ground with his eyes rolling back.
Qinghu stood behind Lin ngya, whose sharp knife was covered with blood that was dropping.
“Take your people back to the Willow Gang. Send a ssage for to your boss that I will destroy the Willow Gang if any one of his people make trouble.”
Those n from the Willow Gang ford a circle.
Therefore, few passersby outside that circle saw what had happened clearly.
In essence, the Willow Gang was a gang of bad eggs. They had no chance to witness such a scene.
At once, they carried their companions and fled in every direction. If one of their companions died or not, no one knew, but the other one was really dead for a while.
“Let’s go back.”
The three maids, other than Baisu and Lin Zhongyu, were scared and at a loss.
“Relax. Master won’t hurt us.”
Baisu put away her sword and comforted them.
Although she went well along with them, Baisu realized now that she was different from them.
Her destiny had been decided since she was born.
Her destiny let her even sacrifice for her Young Master without even blinking her eyes.
“I know you will also protect us.”
All of a sudden, her cold hands were wrapped by a pair of warm and gentle hands.
She turned round and stared at Baiji blankly.
Baiji’s face was still pale, but her eyes on Baisu had no fright or fear at all.
“Aren’t you—scared of ?”
Since she t them, Baisu had been avoiding killing in their presence.
In comparison with the three maids, Baisu was a ghost with her hands full of blood.
But she never imagined that her companions would treat her like normal after this.
It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t touched by them.
“Why would we feel scared of you? From the first day you ca into Master’s place, those fierce servants have never bullied us.”
The youngest Baizhi grabbed Baisu’s hands like a spoiled child.
Baizhi was a maid, but Lin ngya loved her the most, other than Lin Zhongyu, in the Liuxin Courtyard.
Even Lin ngya would give her so delicious special food occasionally.
Baishao’s vigor was renewed, and she put her arm on Baisu.
“If I was good at Kungfu like you, I would have beaten those who bullied my family down. Now, we have you. No one dares to bully us.”
The four maids beca intimate again.
Lin ngya turned around and couldn’t help cracking a smile as she looked at them.
The four maids would have to get involved in Sanjue Hall more or less.
It would be terrible if they were not bold enough.
“Little girl, your people have to be bold enough,” Qinghu shook his head at Lin ngya, and said.
“Everyone has to have the courage as long as he walks on Earth. Let’s go back.”
Lin ngya specially rented a dolly to carry what they had bought to where Baiji’s parents lived, as if nothing bloody had occurred.
But she failed to notice an unfamiliar, cold stare from the person who was standing by the window on the second floor of a tavern.
“Is she the protector of that bastard? Really clever. ng Yuan, go find out what she has.”
Behind that man stood another man in foreign clothes, who humbly replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”
A pair of hands as white as jade were forcefully thrown onto the handrail.
“Little bastard, your life is mine.”
As they ca back to the mansion, Lin ngya was inford suddenly that Concubine De was coming back.
Long Tianhao entered the palace early in the morning.
“Your Highness, the prince left a note saying that you’d better not go out casually. It’s better to stay in your room.”
“Not go out? Why?”
Lin ngya felt puzzled, but she believed that Long Tianhao issued that order for so reason.
She nodded and enjoined her servants not to go out if it was not necessary.
“Oh, when will Concubine De co back? Should I greet her?”
Steward Deng hesitated to shake his head. He said that he had little idea when Concubine De would arrive.
Lin ngya felt a little weird. Upon her arrival at ho, all the servants glanced at her and secretly gossiped about her. They didn’t do it in public though.
“Master, is there sothing wrong?”
Baizhi, who just returned from the kitchen for dinner, frowned and entered Liuxin Courtyard.
“What happened? Is there soone embarrassing you?”
Baiji, who was sewing a gorgeous peony, teased her.
“No. But they asked about Master’s past.”
Lin ngya, who was reading a book sitting in a chair, lifted her head up due to what Baizhi said.
“Oh? What did they ask about?”
Baizhi picked a pearl up and threw it between her hands, answering, “Everything. The question they asked the most is how Master’s mother died, and sothing else about your childhood.”
“My childhood?” Lin ngya thought about it for a while. People in the Capital City knew everything about her.
“Why did soone pry into my past right now?”
“And what was your answer?” Lin ngya put the book down and asked.
“I said nothing. Baiji has told us not to tell others about Master.”
Lin ngya looked at Baiji admiringly. “This little girl teaches them well.”
“It’s okay. Relax. They may just ask. And my past is not a secret at all.”
Lin ngya thought about it, and failed to find sothing wrong.
There were lots of busybodies in Prince Yu’s Mansion. Those won would discuss nothing else but gossip.
Maybe she had beco too well-known recently. They felt curious.
“They may not say sothing bad about Master, I imagine. But if they really do, I will definitely tear their mouths apart.”
“Right.” Lin ngya smiled at Baishao, who was winding the thread for Baiji.
“There is a candidate for shrew in Liuxin Courtyard.
“Who dares to gossip about ?”
Concubine De arrived at Prince Yu’s Mansion at dusk.
As her daughter-in-law, Lin ngya had already been waiting at the gate with all the servants.
The incomparably graceful Concubine De slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Long Tianhao held her hand, but his eyebrows moved together slightly.
“Welco back, mother.”
Lin ngya greeted her politely. When she was about to hold Concubine De’s other hand, she grabbed at nothing.
Lin ngya stood still, not knowing what to do.
“Fine, I’m tired. See yourself out. Don’t step into my room unless it is necessary.”
Concubine De spoke in a cold tone, not as intimate as before.
Lin ngya froze in astonishnt. “What—happened?”
“You’d better leave, Your Highness. Jinyue died. Concubine De is in a bad mood now,” Aunt Jingyue standing aside, gently said.
Aunt Jingyue had few words for Lin ngya before. Looking at her, Lin ngya numbly nodded.
“Did I do sothing wrong?”
“It’s no wonder that Concubine De is in bad mood. It’s all because Aunt Jinyue suddenly passed away.”
After Lin ngya returned to her place, Steward Deng specially greeted her.
Lin ngya was told that Aunt Jinyue, who treated her kindly and gently, died of illness in the palace.
But she wouldn’t believe it.
Aunt Jinyue was in a good health condition when she left her.
What on earth happened in the palace recently?
“Baiji, send a ssage to the prince. Tell him to wait for when he gets back to his room. I have sothing to discuss with him.”
“Yes, Master.”
Baiji imdiately went to Qinwu Courtyard. Lin ngya sensed that Concubine De, whom she had just greeted, seed a little weird, no matter what.
A while later, Baiji rushed back to Liuxin Courtyard.
She frowned tightly as if there was so hidden trouble that was hard to say.
“What’s the matter? Who bullied you?”
Baiji shook her head. She cautiously looked at Lin ngya and said in a low voice, “I failed to send the ssage because I was stopped at the door of Qinwu Courtyard. The guards told that Concubine De issued an order that anyone from Liuxin Courtyard is banned to enter the prince’s yard without her permission.”
When hearing Baiji’s words, Lin ngya frowned more tightly.
“What’s going on? What did I do? When did I annoy Concubine De?”
“Perhaps the prince is tired. Fine, we still have ti. You can go now. Leave alone.”
Lin ngya felt as if she were at sea. In the past, Concubine De often ordered Aunt Jinyue to force Long Tianhao to co here.
But now, she had issued an order banning people in Liuxin Courtyard from going there.
Such a big change in her attitude surprised Lin ngya completely.
Then, Lin ngya called out lightly in her room, “Are you here, Night?”
No answer ca, but a bit of wind blew.
When she lifted her head the second ti, Night showed up in front of her.
“If it’s convenient for you, could you tell what Concubine De and the prince did today, and what kind of people they t?”
Night rembered that the prince told him to listen to the princess. Therefore, he answered in a plain, stiff tone, “The prince just took Concubine De back. As for what happened in the palace, I didn’t know. But on the road, I heard the prince and Concubine De quarrel. The princess banned from getting close to him, so I didn’t hear it clearly.”
“So strange. Long Tianhao is indifferent, but filial.
“What kind of thing would cause a quarrel between him and Concubine De?
“Does it have anything to do with the change of Concubine De?”
