Chapter 610 - A Failed Plot

“Did you put your senior sister up to or did you set her up to climb into my man’s bed to seduce him? It’s a pity that you’re so thick-skinned, but your senior sister is a person with a sense of shame.”

Lin Mengya’s eyes were fixed on Gu Xing. Every word she uttered was shattering the little poor sense remained of him.

He was so sure that as soon as he came in, he looked as if he had suffered bitterly and nursed a deep hatred.

In this case, it was not difficult to guess that there was an over 50 percent chance that the philter on Gu Die was made by this person.

Now the situation had changed so quickly that even Gu Xing had not expected the situation to turn out like this.

That was why he was gotten by Lin Mengya.

Now, he did not even have a way out. Whether he admitted it or not, Gu Die and he had become the laughingstocks of the world.

Therefore, he stuck out his neck and glared at Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu in shock and anger. However, he kept his mouth tight shut, refusing to say a single word.

“Does Gu Xing think that I won’t be able to knock open his mouth just because of this?

“How naive he is!”

“Your Highness, it’s getting late. Why bother everyone because of an insignificant ‘mouse’?”

After dealing with the idiot, Lin Mengya turned her head and spoke to Long Tianyu with a smile.

The latter just shot a cold glance at Gu Xing, who collapsed on the ground. He then looked at the local official of Yun State with his ice-cold and sharp eyes.

At that time, the official, who looked benignant just now, already had cold sweat on his forehead.

Even if he had 10 lives, it would not be enough if he played a badger game with Prince Yu.

Moreover, he happened to make such an unexpected mistake.

“Irrelevant people, leave now. No rumors are allowed about what happened today. Lord Liu, you have always been responsible for the safety of the camp. Now that such a thing has happened and disturbed my princess, I can only seek justice from you.”

Long Tianyu spoke slowly, but the suffocating pressure in his tone made Lord Liu bend his waist.

Beads of cold sweat dripped down from his forehead, and even his body, which was standing there, trembled slightly.

At that moment, his heart was filled with bitterness.

It seemed that Prince Yu had made up his mind and would not let him go.

He stole a glance at the idiot who did not utter a word. If it were not for him, there might be some room for negotiation.

Now, the only way to save himself was to gain the initiative.

With a plop, he knelt down in front of Long Tianyu.

He knocked his head hard on the ground and shouted that he had been wronged.

“Your Highness, please investigate carefully! I misunderstood it because I heard Gu Xing’s yelling. I was incompetent and disturbed the princess and Your Highness. Please punish me severely for my breach of duty. I beg you to allow me to find a suitable person to take over my job for the sake of the people in Yun State. At that time, I’ll hand my life to you willingly!”

What a clever trick! Lin Mengya turned her head and glanced at Lord Liu, who was pretending to be kind and righteous.

His words sounded much more beautiful than Gu Xing’s. He not only shirked the responsibility but also insisted that he merely committed a crime of oversight.

What mattered was that this guy used a “soft knife”.

He used the common people of Yun State to threaten Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya. It seemed that killing him was going against the common people of Yun State.

He was quite smart, but he had found the wrong target.

“Oh? I see. Your Highness, don’t you think we’ve misunderstood Lord Liu? Gu Xing deserves to die. He not only wronged you but also nearly implicated Lord Liu. In your opinion, how should we deal with such a rebel, Lord Liu?”

Lin Mengya wore an innocent look on her face, but she was sneering deep inside.

Did Lord Liu think that he would be fine if he were to put all the blame onto Gu Xing?

Did he ever think about what kind of person Gu Xing was?

“I’ll do as you say, Your Highness.”

Of course, Lord Liu could understand that Lin Mengya was trying to drive a wedge between him and Gu Xing.

He was clever and tactful, but Gu Xing was narrow-minded.

When Gu Xing heard his self-protective words, he took them as a malicious excuse to frame him.

All of a sudden, a surge of anger burst out of his heart.

Gu Xing looked at Lord Liu with a cold smile. He was naturally unwilling to give in so easily.

“Lord Liu, you’re eloquent. However, don’t blame me for saying something not nice at this point. Yes, I tricked my senior sister and Prince Yu. But if it weren’t for your aid, I wouldn’t have succeeded so easily! Speaking of which, you means are superb!”

Sure enough, they began to incriminate each other. Lin Mengya signed Long Tianyu to watch a show with a wink.

Looking at the two of them, she continued her provocation calmly.

“Nonsense! I’m an official of the imperial court. How dare you, a quack, slander me! Your Highness, Princess, I’m wronged! Don’t listen to that thief’s nonsense. I’m loyal to the imperial court!”

Of course, Lord Liu would voice out his grievances in a seemingly sincere way.

Lin Mengya pretended to be in a dilemma on purpose. In the end, she only looked at Lord Liu apologetically and said, “Of course, I don’t believe what he said. But there were so many people just now, and we can’t hide this matter. His Highness can’t bear to see Lord Liu being wronged. Darling, how do you think we should deal with this matter?”

Lin Mengya winked at Long Tianyu, who immediately understood what she meant.

His serious and tight facial features were so cold that there was no emotion in them.

Looking at him, Lord Liu was frightened. He was afraid that this legendary devil would believe that guy’s words and kill him first and then report later.

Therefore, he kept kowtowing to show his loyalty and acknowledge his mistake.

Nevertheless, he refused to admit that he had anything to do with the matter of the Gu siblings.

“Lord Liu, since Gu Xing is unwilling to admit his guilt, I will have to make you suffer. Someone, bring Lord Liu away and take good care of him. When I find out the truth, I will naturally clear his name.”

Long Tianyu’s way of punishing the two sides could be regarded as fair. Although Lord Liu was not resigned to it, he knew that this was the best result.

“Yes... Thank you, Your Highness.”

Clenching his teeth, Lord Liu could only kowtow to show his gratitude.

Gu Xing, who had been staring at him with a cold smile, was also taken away by Long Tianyu’s men.

The tent, which had been noisy for a long time, quieted down again.

“Humph, they were heedless of consequences.”

Not to mention Long Tianyu, even Lin Mengya found such a little trick boring.

A woman was knocked out and then sent to a man’s bed.

In the end, she was labeled a “victim” in order to threaten Long Tianyu.

Not to mention that this kind of behavior was so shameless that it was disgusting, it was nothing but a small trick. Even if they really succeeded, how could they make Long Tianyu at their disposal?

Therefore, what made her angry was not that someone was plotting against them, but that these people would always choose some despicable, shameless means.

Moreover, she believed that Gu Die didn’t know anything about it.

They used the virginity of a girl to achieve their plot. It reminded her of the cause of Elder Sister Yue Ting’s death.

Therefore, although Gu Die did not have a good relationship with her, she still indirectly maintained her reputation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ye, how is she?”

Long Tianyu naturally understood her. He changed the subject, and Ling Ye appeared in front of them with Gu Die, who was already awake.

Lin Mengya first looked at the disheveled Gu Die and then looked at Ling Ye, who had regained his silence, with a strange look.

Ling Ye was also one of the friends she was familiar with, but such a simple and rough way of dealing with the matter really made her...

A little surprised.

“I... I...”

Gu Die’s face was pale. God knew if Ling Ye had thrown her directly into the river.

In short, Gu Die was soaked through from the top to the bottom.

The night wind was still a bit cold. Although they were in the tent, Gu Die was still shivering.

Lin Mengya lowered her head to hide the smile on her face, but she still turned around, took a piece of clothing, and handed it to Gu Die.

Gu Die was in a state of utter stupefaction. She must have realized her current situation.

She was shivering as she draped Lin Mengya’s coat over her shoulders. However, she did not know what to say.

“You are also a victim in this matter. However, if you have time to stay here in a daze, why don’t you try to figure out why your good junior brother did this to you?”

Lin Mengya’s tone was cool. Although it couldn’t be considered gentle, there was no disgust in it.

Gu Die was shocked, but subconsciously, she tried to protect her junior brother.

“That’s impossible! He couldn’t have done it!”

“Are you still reluctant to admit it?” Lin Mengya curled up her lips and sneered at her, showing that she did not care. It was understandable. The person who betrayed Gu Die could be regarded as the closest person to her. Of course, not everyone could accept such a thing immediately.

However, people’s hearts were complicated. This kind of betrayal was also a common thing.

“You know whether he did it or not. We’re fellows, so you should be very clear about your physical condition. If you think I’m trying to drive a wedge between you, don’t believe me. Yet, as a woman, I’m just trying to persuade you. Sincerity is something precious, but if it’s used by someone with an ulterior motive, it’ll be useless. Ye, please send Doctor Gu back.”

The truth was right in front of Gu Die. She had no choice but to believe it.

The great blow left her in a state of shock, unable to extricate herself.

Ling Ye naturally followed Lin Mengya’s instruction. Watching them walk out of the tent one after another, Lin Mengya rubbed her temples gently with her index fingers.

Given Gu Die’s reaction, of course, she was sure that Gu Die was dragged into this game.

However, what was the purpose of this round?

Lin Mengya could not figure it out for the time being. All she could do was to shoot Long Tianyu a puzzled look.
