Chapter 697 Successful Divorce

“In… in this case, I grant your request for divorce. Within seven days, you two should return your marriage contracts, betrothal gifts and dowry. After dividing your properties, you can come to sign the divorce contracts,” Lord Xu said.
Since the two of them did not want to maintain their marriage, he made up his mind to let it be.
Moreover, Prince Yu had no objection to Lin Mengya’s request for divorce. They got a divorce smoothly. Lord Xu was terrified and somehow a little surprised at the same time.
Were they done with it?
Lin Mengya stared at Lord Xu with satisfaction. In fact, she had worried that he would be indecisive.
She involuntarily wanted to give Lord Xu a thumb-up for his granting her request for divorce so easily.
After Lord Xu pronounced judgment, everyone in the court fell silent. Even Lord Xu sat there in embarrassment, with no idea whether he should leave or stay.
“Let’s go, or are we going to join Lord Xu for dinner?” Lin Mengya said.
From the moment Long Tianyu got in, he had shown a gloomy face depressing enough to overwhelm the constables in the court.
Lin Mengya felt helpless. Such was her husband’s nature. She was the one who upset him by requesting for a divorce, but he was reluctant to get angry with her and could only vent his anger on these innocent onlookers.
She dragged Long Tianyu away with a smile and seemed to have forgotten that she had become a divorced woman just now…
Lin Mengya’s divorce with Long Tianyu spread all over the Capital City in an instant, and caused a public opinion storm more influential than those caused by what had happened in the last year.
In just a few days, everyone in the Capital City was talking about it, and those unaware of it seemed to have been disconnected from the society.
Meanwhile, Lin Mengya, who was at the center of the storm, was leisurely basking in the sunshine in her courtyard, without the slightest awareness of what was going on.
“I’ve heard all kinds of rumors outside, and some of them are even as wonderful as stories.” While cracking melon seeds, Baizhi vividly shared the information she gathered with the other maids.
Their worry was dispelled on the night when Long Tianyu sneaked into Lin Mengya’s room as usual after their divorce.
Judging from Prince Yu’s remaining glue to their master, they had an obvious conclusion that it must be their master’s idea to get a divorce.
As such, the girls, who had been as anxious as ants on a hot pan a few days ago, became onlookers in the blink of an eye.
They, who were so mentally strong, were indeed trained by Lin Mengya.
“I’ve also heard that a theatrical troupe called Guishenglong in the Capital City is going to adapt the story between our master and His Highness into a play!” Baishao, who was fierce and the second fondest of gossip in the courtyard, said.
She had changed a lot. In the past, she couldn’t bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Lin Mengya, but now she could even joke about this kind of thing.
Lin Mengya, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, involuntarily felt gratified.
That was the spirit. They should take the tense situation calmly.
“However, Miss, Master got furious after getting the news. Aren’t you afraid that Master will be hard on Long Tianyu?” Baiji asked.
Compared with Baizhi and Baishao, who enjoyed watching the farce, Baiji was more cautious and thoughtful.
It was said that Lin Muzhi smashed the teacup in his hand after getting the news and seemed to have been silently polishing his sword in the past few days.
Lin Mengya shook her head slightly. In fact, she was not worried about it at all.
Although her father was protective of her, she didn’t show a distressed look.
From her composed attitude, her father should be able to have a general idea of the truth. Therefore, even if he saw Long Tianyu on the street, he probably would not tear him into pieces.
“Now that you’ve divorced Prince Yu, His Majesty will definitely seize the opportunity to choose someone else as the new Princess Yu, won’t he? Besides, you told the servants that if someone comes to meet you, they should bring him in immediately. Is there anything urgent?” Hongyu, the most composed and thoughtful one among the girls, said.
Hongyu thought that her master, who seemed to have been carefree in recent days, must be up to something. The reason why her master remained composed might be that she was waiting for the right time.
Glancing at Hongyu, Lin Mengya showed more admiration for this woman, who was like her elder sister.
Then she said, “Nothing serious. I just have to do something as someone else. Have you received any news from my brother these days?”
Lin Mengya didn’t know whether Hongyu understood what she meant, but she immediately changed the topic.
She had better leave something unsaid. If the situation was unclear, she would make further plans until the whole thing came to light.
“How could we receive any news? Since you divorced Long Tianyu, the constables in the government office have turned their backs on us.” As there came Qinghu’s voice, he, who was dressed in moon-white plain clothes, walked through the door of Grace Butterfly Courtyard to her with an indifferent look.
Lin Mengya turned her head and was taken aback.
Qinghu had disguised himself as a guard in the mansion since he followed her back this time.
However, he was dressed differently today. The elegant robe made him look indescribably charming.
His hair was bound up into a bun fixed with a white jade kylin crown. Under the sun, there seemed to be complicated and elegant patterns on his collar that he deliberately pulled up and his cuffs clinging to his wrists.
He wore a pair of spotless white boots.
What was wrong with him today?
“How do I look? I look amazing, right? Do you think I’m much better than that heartbreaker?” As soon as he spoke, he revealed his narcissism.
Lin Mengya directly ignored him. Anyway, it was his nature to upset Long Tianyu whenever possible.
What was more, he just changed his clothes.
“Will His Majesty break his promise? He couldn’t be so petty, right?” Lin Mengya leaned against the rocking chair, looked up at the sky melancholy and said.
In fact, the Emperor simply hoped that she could disappear suddenly and break Long Tianyu’s heart. Then he could take the opportunity to console Long Tianyu and show Long Tianyu his fatherly affection.
Unfortunately, she dared to do it in her own way.
Now Long Tianyu was probably annoyed with his meddlesome father.
The Emperor would only blame her for driving a wedge between them. Anyway, no one else knew the agreement between the Emperor and her, so even if he broke the agreement, Lin Mengya could do nothing about it.
“I don’t think so. What he wants most is still in your hands. Isn’t he afraid that he will get nothing if he really pisses you off?” Qinghu said in a low voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
Lin Mengya turned around with a smile. She seemed to be indifferent, but the little devil hiding in her heart had gradually revived and would eventually become a shadow over some people.
She said, “Yes, he hasn’t gotten it from me yet. How can he give up on making use of me?”
She had a secret that no one other than Qinghu knew.
When she regained the missing part of her memories, she learned not only the reason why she became an imbecile after being poisoned back then but also the reason why she had to forget the part of her memories.
The latter was the real reason why these incredible things happened to her and her mother.
The truth hadn’t come to light yet.
“First Miss, someone asks to meet you.” Just as the mysterious interaction between the two of them aroused the others’ curiosity, a servant came in and reported.
“Lead him to Master’s study and ask Master to go there,” Lin Mengya said. After pondering for a while, she thought it was a serious matter and she had better let her father know it.
The servant quickly did as she asked after bowing.
In the study, Lin Mengya hurriedly explained the ins and outs of her brother’s case to her father. Learning that the visitor was likely to bring the evidence that Lin Nansheng didn’t commit treason, Lin Muzhi, who had been gloomy, felt relieved more or less.
In the past few days, he had been snubbed and ostracized, as he, who had devoted himself to guarding the border over the years, had forgotten how important the complicated relationship network was in the Capital City.
Fortunately, he had a smart and sensible daughter. Trying all he could to help her could make him, such an incompetent father, feel relieved.
“Sister Lin, sorry for coming late.” The two of them in the study heard Gou An’s hearty voice before seeing him.
Lin Mengya exchanged glances with her father and could not help feeling secretly delighted when she heard Gou An’s hearty voice.
Could there be a turnaround in her brother’s case?
As she thought, Gou An, who was dressed as an errant knight, strode into the study.
He, who was travel-worn and weary, seemed to have just returned from another place. Lin Mengya immediately introduced Gou An and her father to each other, and then asked them to have a seat and instructed the servant to serve Gou An a cup of tea.
However, Gou An drank tea and made conventional remarks without mentioning anything about clearing her brother’s name.
Lin Mengya found it strange. Judging from her understanding of Gou An, he was unlikely to beat around the bush.
Could it be that things didn’t go well?
After Gou An ran out of conventional remarks, Lin Mengya and her father stayed unhurried.
Meanwhile, Gou An, who had always been straightforward, felt his face was burning.
He sighed in a low voice, feeling extremely guilty.
