Chapter 448 Intentional Set-up
Lin Mengya was in a good mood, so she asked Baishao to join her in watching the fun in the house.
In fact, she felt a little sorry for making Long Tianyu bear this bad reputation.
Nevertheless, she had no other way.
She did everything for the transaction with Zuo Qiuchen.
Besides, she thought that these three men had hung out together in secret these days.
In any case, she didn’t think the three of them talked about romantic affairs together.
Therefore, Long Tianyu had probably got ready to bear this bad reputation.
The three foxes, who had hidden their tails profoundly, did everything with a purpose.
Therefore, she didn’t need to worry about it at all.
With his face darkening, Long Tianyu walked out of the house with determination.
Watching Zuo Qiuyu bounce vigorously in front of him, Long Tianyu had to suppress the impulse to get rid of him.
Nevertheless, the blue veins on his forehead seemed to be about to burst.
“You are such a heartbreaker.”
Zuo Qiuyu dashed forward and accused Long Tianyu fiercely, as if he had done something heinous.
But Long Tianyu clearly saw the man showed a sinister smile.
This guy must be taking vengeance on him under the guise of cooperating with Lin Mengya, because he had warned the guy in the Jin State.
Although he secretly told himself that he could go through it after restraining himself for a while, somehow he still felt the impulse to punch Zuo Qiuyu in the face.
“Tell me, why you betray my cousin sister! Do you know that there are numerous men wanting to marry her in our Nation of Lintian? They can form a line from Wangtian City to the old capital! But you don’t cherish her. I think you want a good smack!”
As Zuo Qiuyu got increasingly excited, he grabbed Long Tianyu’s neckline.
They were getting increasingly close to each other. Zuo Qiuyu’s saliva, which he inadvertently spat out, was about to fall on Long Tianyu’s clothes.
Zuo Qiuyu suddenly felt dizzy when not paying attention to it.
The next moment, he glided out in a very graceful posture.
After that, he ended up with a posture of a dog gnawing mud.
Zuo Qiuyu spat the soil out of his mouth, feeling like weeping but failing to shed a tear, with a bit of grievance in his eyes.
Fine. Although he took the initiative to do a little more than the plan required, Long Tianyu didn’t need to play it hard!
They were putting on a show, why bother taking it seriously?
At this moment, Zuo Qiuyu finally knew the consequences of not acting based on the script.
With the help of servants, Zuo Qiuyu, who had made a fool of himself in his mansion, only dared to blame Long Tianyu silently with an angry gaze.
However, the show must go on. Otherwise, both his brother hiding in the dark and watching the fun and Lin Mengya who had laughed herself into convulsion wouldn’t let him go.
Alas, why he was always hurt!
“You don’t need to intervene in the affairs between us.”
Long Tianyu said coldly, completely disregarding his feeling.
Long Tianyu was capable of speaking plausibly and making the other side look unreasonable while in the other side’s place.
For example, Zuo Qiuyu was obviously bluffing.
“It’s unreasonable to say that. Anyway, Mengya is my cousin. I won’t allow you to bully any member of our Nation of Lintian!”
Zuo Qiuyu would certainly not do something stupid like fighting.
He only dared to stand aside and bluff.
Long Tianyu ignored him and turned around to leave after snorting coldly.
Unexpectedly, a sound piercing through the air came to him.
Long Tianyu didn’t move a little, but just stood at the door of the room with his back to the yard.
Right in front of him, a snow-white sharp steel knife had stood on the door frame.
The depth in the timber was enough to show that he was so close to death.
“The princess of our Nation of Lintian just can’t be bullied by anyone.”
Although he still talked in a commanding tone, the rage in his tone instantly made the servants of Prince Shen’s Mansion become as silent as autumn cicadas.
The emperor of the Nation of Lintian had never been angry.
However, since Princess Anle was found, the emperor got furious both when the imperial physicians said they were incapable of curing the princess and when prince Shen messed with the princess.
Now the princess’ husband dared to screw around under the princess’ eyes. He did have the guts!
According to the emperor’s affection for Princess Anle, the princess’ husband could be considered lucky if he wasn’t killed by the emperor.
Looking at the trembling handle of the knife, Long Tianyu sneered.
Without fear of this undisguised threat, he turned his head and looked at Zuo Qiuchen who had a cold face.
“She is my princess, and no one around the world is qualified to lecture me!”
He was a man with tremendous prestige, and now he was in a rage. The unprecedented contest between them had begun since their eye contact.
At the moment, all servants seemed to see the coming storm. Everyone found a safe corner and hid there, for fear that they would get involved in the fight between these two men.
“Come in. Why are you standing in the yard?”
There came a soft and gentle voice. In an instant, the servants of Prince Shen’s mansion only felt that she sounded like an angel.
The confrontation, which was neck and neck, collapsed with the two men’s reluctance.
However, after staring fiercely at each other several times, the three men entered Lin Mengya’s room successively.
With a bang, the wooden door was closed behind them, cutting off the gazes, which were probing, doubting or measuring from outside.
However, from today, the favor Princess Anle received and her husband’s self-indulgence would probably rise to a new level.
It was really explosive. People would probably not hear this kind of news in a hundred years!
“Stop it. Why are you pulling a long face? I’m the innocent one who gets involved in this. I have to bear the bad reputation as an arrogant and wilful woman for nothing.”
Lin Mengya teased the three of them. It was indeed unnecessary to tell a smart person what he should do.
The four of them met, and all starred in this big show without prior consultation.
Long Tianyu intended to make those behind Sumei relax their vigilance and thus to give themselves away. In this case, they could take the initiative.
Meanwhile, Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu intended to make Lin Mengya’s reputation quickly spread throughout all levels of the Nation of Lintian. Moreover, they wanted to make everyone know that Lin Mengya couldn’t be replaced by anyone.
Regarding making her known as an arrogant and wilful woman, it would be of great use when they visited the Pavilion of Herbs.
Nevertheless, as far as she concerned, all of these were beneficial to her.
Therefore, she triggered this chain of events with what had happened between her and Sumei.
Unexpectedly, these three guys lost themselves in the show. Putting on a show sincerely, they really deserved to be three Oscar winners of royal family.
“You must be joking. Our little Mengya is smart, pretty and thoughtful. However, someone just can neither admire you nor cherish you. It would be better to divorce him and then come back to choose another good husband. What do you think of it?”
Zuo Qiuyu immediately came up to Lin Mengya and flattered her. Of course, his words not only made Long Tianyu stare at him angrily.
Even Lin Mengya considered him disgusting, so she removed his paws from the edge of her couch.
“Stop joking. Let’s come to the point. I got the news from the Pavilion of Herbs that they’ve found the trace of the music score for green stringed instrument.”
Zuo Qiuchen said astonishing words, and the other three people all looked towards him.
“Isn’t the music score for green stringed instrument in Mengya’s hands? I don’t think anyone doubts it. After all, the chief elder only accepted aunt as his apprentice, didn’t he?”
Zuo Qiuyu asked immediately, but in an instant, the three of them thought of the same possibility except for Zuo Qiuchen.
“You mean that someone intends to forge the music score for green stringed instrument and thus to help a certain party of the Pavilion of Herbs win the position of the chief elder?”
Lin Mengya came to the point, but she was a little hesitant.
She hadn’t given in and told that the music score for green stringed instrument was really in her hands.
However, the other party was convinced that the music score for green stringed instrument in her hand had been ruined too soon even without doubting it.
Nevertheless, after thinking carefully, Lin Mengya considered it a brilliant move.
If they really succeeded, she would probably experience several setbacks even if she presented the real music score for green stringed instrument.
In this case, the other party had achieved its goal.
If she couldn’t present it, without any proof, who would believe that the music score for green stringed instrument, which could bring them power and status, had really been ruined?
What was more, in the eyes of careerists, the music score for green stringed instrument was more than a medical book, but a key that could bring them great benefits.
She had indeed underestimated the strength and ambition of the other party. If she hadn’t denied it resolutely at that time, there would probably be a turnaround.
But now it was obviously not the time to regret it.
“Hmm, it’s likely. But after I sent someone to check it out, I think that you seem to be their target.”
Zuo Qiuchen looked at Lin Mengya and said with some concern.
“I’m their target? But the music score for green stringed instrument is not in my hands. Even if I’m their target, what can they do to me?”
Lin Mengya pointed at herself.
It was weird. Except for the music score for green stringed instrument and her mother’s identity, the fight seemed to have nothing to do with her.
However, Zuo Qiuchen shook his head with a wry smile and said.
“Do you know why the members of the Pavilion of Herbs didn’t dare to fight openly despite so many years of power struggle?”
Lin Mengya shook her head. Except for this year, she had dreamed away her life. How could she know so much inside information?
However, she had a hunch that she could probably not live a peaceful life once she got involved in the struggle for the music score for green stringed instrument.
