Chapter 194 - The Young Man With a Rosa Multiflora

Lin Mengya was held up by Concubine De personally. That meant that she became the real winner of the fight over the power to manage Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Jiang Ruqin could do nothing about it, no matter how unwilling she was.

After all, it was Concubine De’s order.

However, Jiang Ruqin still felt angry that everyone blamed her. It had been Concubine De’s order at the beginning.

Why did others blame her?

However, she dared not argue with Concubine De.

“Mother, Miss Jiang, have you had your food? There are some simple dishes available. Why not sit down and have a try?”

Obviously, Lin Mengya had said this deliberately.

However, Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin were not in a position to say yes.

“I’ve eaten. Qin’er, let’s go now.”

Jiang Ruqin followed Concubine De out of Liuxin Courtyard very unwillingly. Her facial expression showed that she was unwilling to submit. However, she could do nothing.

“Please take care, Your Highness.”

Lin Mengya and all her servants politely saw Concubine De and Jiang Ruqin out.

“Master, they’ve gone away. You can rise now.”

Baishao helped up Lin Mengya as the door was closed tightly.

It was not Lin Mengya’s fault. If Concubine De had not insisted on causing her trouble, she would not have been driven into such a difficult position.

Baishao and the other servants didn’t understand why.

What had Lin Mengya done to Concubine De to make her hate her so much?

“Everybody, you can leave now. You’ve all had a tough day. Starting tomorrow, we have to be more cautious.”

That day, Lin Mengya rewarded not only the four maids, but also the other servants in charge of odd jobs.

This time, it was not the same.

After dinner, Lin Mengya sat down by the window alone and lost herself in her thoughts.

She was tired enough to fall asleep.

However, a black shadow suddenly emerged before her without her noticing it.

After a low, deep sigh,

the black shadow fetched a blanket and covered her up.

Lin Mengya woke up in astonishment. She trembled and opened her eyes, her eyelashes as thin as wings.

She was surprised to see Long Tianhao in total black.

“Concubine De banned you from coming here, didn’t she? Why are you here then?”

She spoke in an invisible, complaining tone.

Without Long Tianhao, there would be no need for her to fight against them.

“Please tolerate mother. Please?”

Lin Mengya hated crying in the presence of others. However, she couldn’t stop her eyes from turning red now just because of what Long Tianhao had said.

Her eyes brimmed with tears. She tried to stop her tears like bursting water, but it was in vain.

Therefore, she immediately cried out, her tears streaming down her beautiful face.

She cried like a pussycat.

“I don’t want to be the Master. I don’t want to fight against anyone. I want to live a normal life. Do you understand that? Why? Why must everyone target me? Plain me? They hurt me because I am Princess Yu, don’t they? Then, I don’t want to be Princess Yu! I give up the title!”

She didn’t suppress her sadness like a child this time.

In the presence of others, she was Princess Yu, who always remained calm, planned wisely and acted courageously.

However, everyone was fragile.

She was not an emotionless robot. She could be weak.

“I...”

Long Tianhao could accept her malevolence, bear her arrogance, and appreciate her wisdom.

However, he couldn’t bear to see her cry. He didn’t know how to deal with it.

Her bright tears were like the most precious treasure in the world.

Unfortunately, they weighed over a thousand, so he lost the strength to hold them.

“I’ll let you go.”

“She is right. She’s failed to live a quiet life because of me.”

“What did you say?”

Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide and stared at Long Tianhao.

“I’ll let you go. When the right time comes, I will—”

Bang! A china teacup was thrown at his face abruptly.

“Get out!”

The teacup was specifically thrown at Long Tianhao’s left eye in a perfect parabola.

Long Tianhao instinctively caught the cup but realized Lin Mengya had shut the window from the inside.

“Never come here! Go! Go away!”

Lin Mengya turned her back to the window. Her eyes became wet again.

“What gave him the confidence to say that? Let me go? How dare he say that?”

She felt so upset that she started crying again.

“I am really not important to Long Tianhao.”

“You want to drive me out and marry a new wife, right?”

“Long Tianhao, what a good plan you have.”

“Fine, I’ll go. I will disappear from your sight soon.”

The cry coming from inside gripped Long Tianhao.

He raised his hand and tried to knock at the window. Then, he stopped.

It might be better for Lin Mengya to leave him and go far away.

While holding the china cup tightly, Long Tianhao turned around and walked out of Liuxin Courtyard.

“Where are you going, little boy?”

From the corner of Liuxin Courtyard, Lin Zhongyu witnessed what was happening. He wanted to go inside and comfort Lin Mengya.

However, Qinghu, who had witnessed everything as well, grabbed him by the collar.

“Let me go. I want to see my sister.”

It was the first time Lin Zhongyu was seeing Lin Mengya crying so sadly. He frowned and tried to get free and seek an explanation for her.

“I know you feel sad. I do too. However, the little girl needs to stay alone now. She would not like to see anyone.”

Qinghu was just as sad as Lin Zhongyu.

“Long Tianhao, you really think highly of yourself!”

“No one can upset my little girl!”

“It would be better to try to give Long Tianhao a hard time than to comfort your sister. Let’s think about how to bring her justice, okay?”

Qinghu’s proposal was perfectly consistent with what Lin Zhongyu wanted.

Both of them looked at the main room. Its window was closed tightly. They exchanged glances full of understanding.

“Long Tianhao’s bad day is coming!”

Lin Mengya cried herself to sleep on the ground.

While she was dazzled, she felt someone touching her face in her sleep.

She whipped the hand touching her face away with her eyes closed.

“Stop, you fox. I want to sleep.”

However, that person didn’t stop. Instead, he smiled and spoke in a low, deep voice.

“It’s cold on the ground. Go to bed.”

The voice sounded soft and immature like a boy’s voice.

“It’s okay...”

Lin Mengya opened her eyes in a daze and looked over at that chattering person.

“Eh? How did Xiaoyu grow up overnight?”

“No!”

Lin Mengya immediately came to her senses and looked at the young man in front of her in alert.

“He is not Xiaoyu!”

“Who are you?”

Lin Mengya leaned against the corner as she held the blanket and stared at the young man worriedly.

It was no wonder that she had mistaken him for Xiaoyu.

The young man looked older than Xiaoyu.

He was wearing a lake-blue robe that made him look both evil and beautiful.

His face was fair and clean, with nice features. Unlike Xiaoyu’s gender-ambiguous appearance, his face looked more feminine.

“Who am I? Guess. If you guess correctly, I won’t kill you. Otherwise, I will leave a mark on your face with my knife.”

The young man smiled and took a bent knife out of his cuff.

Lin Mengya did not look panicked.

“If you dare to hurt me, I promise you that you will never see the world outside my house again.”

“What are Night and Qinghu doing? A thug has broken into my room. Why haven’t they shown up yet?”

“Smart. You’re right. It is not that easy to enter your house. That bastard made a good choice. I appreciate you as well.”

The young man was completely evil.

Lin Mengya sensed his ill intentions, which were as dark as the ink in his eyes.

He looked more wicked than Qinghu had been before.

He was not an enemy one could defeat easily.

“Is there enmity between you and Xiaoyu? If not, what’s the relationship between you two?”

Lin Mengya was enraged. “Bastard? Xiaoyu is my family now. No one can insult him.”

“I have no relationship with that bastard. He is just a result of a secret affair. I am much nobler than him.”

The man lifted her chin up lightly with his knife.

There was deep coldness in his eyes.

“Woman, if you don’t want to see him die in front of you, watch him. Tell him not to covet something that doesn’t belong to him.”

Lin Mengya gazed at him stubbornly but said nothing.

They both looked at each other, no one averting their eyes first.

“Ha ha... Funny. Lin Nansheng’s sister. If possible, I really want to try to eat your heart.”

Then, the man took back his knife.

He glanced at Lin Mengya with great interest before he felt free to walk through the door of the main room and get out of there.

Until that man disappeared out of sight,

Lin Mengya didn’t dare to take a breath. Only she could feel that her back was already bathed in cold sweat.

“God!” Lin Mengya soothed her panic by touching her chest. If the door had not been open, what happened just now would have become her nightmare.

Inside her room, a seductive, cool fragrance floated in the air. Lin Mengya turned round and noticed a blossoming rosa multiflora on the table.

“Hey, playboy!”

She picked up that flower and noticed that the fragrance was coming from the rosa multiflora.

She thought about it for a while and then decided to hide it.

Her heart felt heavy.

One problem came after another.

It seemed that Xiaoyu didn’t know it yet. Thus, she had to keep it a secret.

It appeared that Xiaoyu’s identity was more complicated than she had expected.

“Heavens, why does everything happen to me?”
