Chapter 713 Force a Smile

“Okay, I’ll do as you say,” Lin Mengya said.
In the twinkling of an eye, she had hidden all her emotions. After adjusting his clothes considerately, she took a step back and stared at him with a smile.
“Be good and wait for me at home. After tomorrow, I will personally lead my followers to the Shangguan’s Mansion to get even with them,” Long Tianyu said with a flash of coldness in his black eyes.
The Shangguan Family not only intended to meddle in government affairs, but also tried to plot against the Lin Family in every way.
He had been impatient of them for a long time, and now was the best time to deal with them.
“Be careful. It’s not easy to deal with the Shangguan Family. Now the Empress and Shangguan Qingyu have betrayed the other members of the Shangguan Family, but they will definitely take charge of the Shangguan Family that has a huge amount of property. Given their pretending to sacrifice ties of blood to righteousness in front of your father, your father certainly won’t punish Shangguan Qingyu and probably will reward him. So you must be cautious and avoid falling into the traps they set.” Lin Mengya gave Long Tianyu thoughtful instructions.
Although she had repeated some of the words many times, she still felt that she had a lot to tell him today.
“Okay, I know. Rest assured. Go to bed earlier and don’t wait for me, as I may not be back tonight. Be good,” he patted her head with his big hand and said lovingly with the tenderness he only showed in front of her.
“Okay, go ahead,” Lin Mengya said with a sweet smile and immediately pushed Long Tianyu out of the courtyard, for fear that if he stayed any longer, the reluctance in her eyes would give her away.
“Don’t push me. Let me have a good look at you for another while. Silly, take care of yourself when I’m not at home. I’m sorry that I have to leave you alone at home in the following days,” Long Tianyu turned around and said, and then lifted Lin Mengya’s delicate and charming face and kissed her affectionately.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as you keep missing me and being attached to me and let me know that I’m your only beloved, I will be satisfied. Well, you should go now. If you continue dawdling, I think you won’t be able to leave today even if you have wings,” Lin Mengya said.
Finally, Long Tianyu walked out of the Grace Butterfly Courtyard with satisfaction.
Lin Mengya stood at the door and watched him leave step by step. The tears dripped from her eyes when he disappeared.
“Are you... alright?” Seeing her shed tears, Qinghu walked out from behind her and asked.
Just now, he had stood in an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard and seen how reluctant she was to part with Long Tianyu.
“I’m fine... I was just blinded by the strong wind. Oh, apart from Hongyu, have you made proper arrangements for Baizhi and the others?” After making up an excuse that was definitely unconvincing to Qinghu, Lin Mengya turned around and asked him about something else.
Qinghu sighed in his heart, thinking why only Long Tianyu could win Lin Mengya’s heart.
“Everything is ready. Tomorrow, only Hongyu and Baiji will stay in the mansion to run things. Tian Ning will escort them to the small courtyard of the drugstore of the Sanjue Hall without attracting attention when the streets are crowded. I’ve prepared the residence you asked me to buy secretly in the Capital City, and they will go there a few days later. But given your plan to hide their whereabouts from the members of the Sanjue Hall, I’m wondering if you have smelled anything fishy?” Qinghu said.
He knew Lin Mengya best. Although the Sanjue Hall run by Yunzhu had expanded increasingly, since they returned from the Nation of Lintian, Lin Mengya had been training her trusted followers in secret.
Moreover, she always coaxed Yunzhu to spend more time with Baili Rui.
Now the Sanjue Hall could operate normally even without Yunzhu.
More importantly, the batch of people Lin Mengya trained in secret happened to hold very important positions in the Sanjue Hall.
That was to say, Lin Mengya could make Yunzhu a mere figurehead in the Sanjue Hall in a very short time if she wanted to.
Now Lin Mengya deliberately kept all the information of her family members and companions from the members of the Sanjue Hall without being noticed.
She must have smelled something fishy.
“I don’t have any concrete evidence, but don’t you think it strange? We haven’t caught the person who gave the Scarlet Ginseng to my teacher. My teacher must know who the person is, but he refused to tell us. Besides, our whereabouts were exposed again and again. I’ve thought through all the possibilities. Except for the possibility that our whereabouts happened to be guessed, it seems that she sent someone to run errands for us when these things happened.” The clues were connected by Lin Mengya like a string of beads.
Since she came back, Yunzhu had rarely came to her courtyard.
The Sanjue Hall had been operating smoothly. However, Yunzhu mentioned nothing other than the normal operation of the Sanjue Hall in the letter she wrote to Lin Mengya every month.
What was more, there was something wrong with the amount of money Yunzhu sent her every month.
A few months ago, Yunzhu claimed that it cost a lot to establish a network of contacts in the Nation of Lintian.
Moreover, Yunzhu kept a detailed record of the accounts and sent the account book to her.
She couldn’t understand account books, but it didn’t mean that no one around her could.
Baishao was the bookkeeper she trusted most. It only took Baishao two days to find out some mistakes in the account book, and Baishao said with certainty that there definitely would be more mistakes in the rest of the account book.
She trusted Baishao with the profit from the Sanjue Hall. Baishao, who was clever and capable, employed middlemen as the nominal owners of the house properties and stores so as to confuse others, while Baishao ran these businesses in person.
In fact, Baishao had made a profit several times more than the money Lin Mengya gave her.
The profit Baishao made in this month was almost as much as that from the Sanjue Hall. Baishao once said that given the scale and mode of operation of the Sanjue Hall, the monthly profit should be at least ten times more than that she made.
Now Baishao easily made a profit as much as that from the Sanjue Hall, which only indicated that there was something wrong.
In addition, Lin Mengya’s eldest cousin brother had sent her a letter, saying that the Sanjue Hall had begun to make a profit and paid a lot of taxes to the Nation of Lintian.
In this case, Yunzhu must have kept a lot of secrets from her.
“Should we make her a mere figurehead in the Sanjue Hall? The pawns you’ve deployed could play their roles,” Qinghu said.
In fact, Lin Mengya was as good at winning the other members’ support as Yunzhu.
It was just that Yunzhu, as the deputy hall master, had more contact with the other members during this period.
Although Lin Mengya did not have much contact with them, she, who had sharp eyes, had drawn a batch of members over to her side through Qinghu and turned them into her trusted followers.
They, who were willing to die for their bosom friends, could even repay Lin Mengya for her appreciation of their capability with their lives.
Since the day she became suspicious of Yunzhu, she had left herself enough room for manoeuvre in this respect.
“No, although our followers are capable, they’re not as prestigious as Yunzhu for the time being. What’s more, I’m leaving now. If we suddenly assign someone else to run the Sanjue Hall in her place, the members will feel uneasy, which is a bad thing for us. Tell Moran and Qingli to try their best to control the Sanjue Hall during my absence. After all, they’re the pawns I use to pin Yunzhu down,” Lin Mengya said.
Moran and Qingli were the trusted followers Qinghu gave Lin Mengya along with Furong Restaurant.
The two of them were extraordinary. Although they worked as Yunzhu’s subordinates now, they considered Lin Mengya as their only master.
Moreover, they were extremely intelligent. Every month, they reported Yunzhu’s abnormal behaviors to Lin Mengya in time.
At present, the two of them were almost as prestigious as Yunzhu in the Sanjue Hall.
With them around, the Sanjue Hall would not be ruined by Yunzhu!
“You think highly of them. Well, I’ll handle it myself. Rest assured.” As Qinghu spoke, there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
He was the one, who had introduced Yunzhu to Lin Mengya back then. Now that Yunzhu did this behind them, he would not let go of anyone, who deceived and betrayed Lin Mengya.
“Qinghu, please don’t kill anyone else for me, okay?” As Lin Mengya said, she suddenly grasped Qinghu’s hand with her smooth hands.
After freezing for a while, Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya with a chuckle, as if she had said something funny.
“It is very likely that I will not be able to return. Thus, if I am to die there, don’t degenerate into a demon or die with me. Promise me, live on nicely,” she continued saying and touched Qinghu’s fair and delicate face with her cool hand.
In the past year, this cunning fox had doted on her and obeyed her every order. Now he even gave up his friendship with Yunzhu for her sake.
Lin Mengya felt so sorry that she had to leave him.
Long Tianyu, Qinghu, Baiji, Baizhi, Hongyu...
They were so nice to her that she began to fear the upcoming life and death crisis.
In fact, evading the issue might not necessarily mean that she did not have the courage to confront it. Once there were too many things she cared about, the severe crisis would become a huge gap in her heart.
It was the most difficult to cross over the gap in her heart, where she kept the most important people in her life.
“Silly, they can live on nicely, but I can’t, because I’m afraid that you will feel lonely,” Qinghu said with his typical smile that was as cunning as usual and a little charming.
Every time he did this, Lin Mengya pulled his ear and yelled at him fiercely, and then smiled brilliantly as she watched him obediently admit defeat.
But now, she just wanted to cry.
Resting her head on Qinghu’s chest, Lin Mengya burst into tears.
Most members of the mansion had been sent away by her, so no one could hear her crying.
It was only at this time that she could freely vent the sorrow, reluctance and perhaps fear for the future that had accumulated in her heart for too long.
She was not afraid of death, but was only afraid that her death would break the hearts of those people she cared about.
