Chapter 888 Returning to the Capital City
“But she doesn’t know that you’re still alive. So why did she catch Baiji and the others?”
In fact, although her Miss had met many familiar people here, because of the fake funeral procession of Prince Yu, not many people knew that her Miss was still alive.
“I’m not the one she wants to threaten. I think the person she wants to threaten must have seen through her true self, so that person did not submit to her. At the same time, she also knows that I’m the most important person in that person’s heart, but I’m no longer alive. So, he’ll definitely take care of the people I care about.”
There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She was really blind to that woman’s lies so easily.
“You mean… Baili Rui?”
Qinghu immediately guessed the hidden meaning of Lin Mengya’s words. That was right. In the Capital City, that teacher Baili Rui was the only person who cared about Lin Mengya the most, except for Prince Yu.
Moreover, Yunzhu must have an ulterior motive for catching Baili Rui away.
But Baili Rui was a well-known tough guy.
Since Long Tianyu had imprisoned him for more than ten years without being able to open his mouth, Yunzhu might not be able to succeed either.
But Lin Mengya was different now, especially when she was already “dead”.
Baili Rui only had such a precious disciple. He would probably try his best to protect the people and things she left behind.
This woman was really vicious!
“You don’t have to worry about Baiji’s and the others’ safety. I had arranged everything well before I left, and Long Tianyu has also sent someone to protect them secretly. Even if Yunzhu turns the Capital City upside down, she can’t find them. Besides, we will soon arrive in the Capital City. As long as you are there, no one can hurt them.”
Qinghu comforted Lin Mengya with a smile. Those people were elders, the weak, women and children.
Even he, who used to be cruel and merciless, would not attack these people.
It seemed that Yunzhu had really been pushed hard.
“That’s right. Let’s change the route. After we enter the Capital City, let’s go and see them first. We have to report that we’re safe. I’m afraid that everyone will be so worried about us after such a long time.”
Her gloomy expression softened a little. Fortunately, she had noticed Yunzhu’s abnormality before.
Otherwise, she was afraid that the people around her would suffer heavy losses this time.
“That’s good. You don’t know that you didn’t dote on Moyan, the brat, for nothing. When the news of your death came out, that brat cried for an entire day and night. His voice was hoarse. If it weren’t for your wet nurse, I’m afraid that he would have cried to death.”
After returning from the Nation of Lintian, Qinghu went to inform everyone of the news.
On that day, everyone cried.
Ms. Tian, who had always been strong, even fainted straight away.
When the funeral in Prince Yu’s Mansion started, many people who had a relationship with Lin Mengya appeared on the scene of the funeral.
Everyone knew that making friends with the Lin Family was tantamount to offending the emperor.
But now that their Miss was dead, how could they care so much?
At that time, the father and son of the Lin Family had disappeared, and the other people of their family did not dare to come out to condole because of the emperor’s edict.
It was Xiao Yixin that took charge of everything as Lin Mengya’s brother in her mother’s family.
Perhaps in the past, Qinghu had once looked down upon this guy who judged others by their looks.
But since then, he had changed his mind about Xiao Yixin.
His eyes fell on Lin Mengya, who was reading books on one side.
She had gone through a lot. The girl in front of him had changed from a smart girl who knew nothing about the world to a powerful person who could turn the world upside down.
However, her temperament, which made people want to get close to her and be fascinated by her, did not change at all.
Meeting her might be the biggest surprise in their lives.
“It’s raining.”
Outside the window, the wind started to blow.
Lin Mengya raised her head from the book, leaned against the window, and looked at the rain outside.
Unknowingly, the weather turned from hot to cold, and it was the beginning of autumn again.
She didn’t know why she was so busy that she couldn’t even feel the changes of the four seasons.
She reached out her hand to catch the falling rain.
The cool raindrops hit her soft palm, gradually running down the lines on her palm.
The rain obscured all her vision. Apart from the splashing sound of the horses’ hooves, there seemed to be only the sound of the rain in the whole world, and her heart also quieted down.
They had already spent a lot of time on the road after leaving Lieyun Empire.
They had already entered Dajin. As Qinghu had said, the Capital City was just around the corner.
But it was the first time in Lin Mengya’s life that she felt timid to get closer to her hometown.
Thinking about when she left here, her future was uncertain, and she could not even be sure if she could survive or die.
The Lin Family was broken into pieces in an instant. She had also become a disgraced vice Princess from the beloved Princess Yu.
Later, in order to solve the matter of the Candle Dragon Cult, she did not hesitate to hide the news that she was alive.
But she didn’t expect that so many things would happen later.
Be it the Candle Dragon Cult or the paradise city, they were things she had no choice but to face.
Sometimes, she would also be curious. She was born here, but because of fate, she turned into a wisp of ghost, living in the modern world for more than twenty years.
Then she came back and had a relationship with all kinds of people here.
What, exactly, would be her ultimate fate?
She didn’t know, but she was looking forward to it.
“Miss, have a cup of hot tea to warm your body.”
The fragrant smell of tea in the horse carriage dispelled the cold moisture.
Baisu poured a cup of tea mostly beloved by her Miss and put it in her hand.
“Thank you so much.”
She closed the window. Her body, which was afraid of the cold, did not change much.
At the thought that she was going to see those people soon, Lin Mengya felt a kind of special excitement in her heart.
Those were her family members… It was a sweet dream that she had been looking forward to for more than 20 years. How could she not be strong for them?
“We’re almost home. Baiji would be very happy if she saw you coming back. But there’s no news about Hongyu. I won’t be so worried if she’s here.”
Hongyu had gone missing with her father and elder brother. Although Hongyu did not know any martial arts, she was good at dealing with things.
With her around, her father and elder brother would definitely be taken care of.
Speaking of which, those people in her courtyard all had very unusual stories.
Fortunately, she had been involved in all these stories.
“They… they won’t blame me, will they? I bought gifts for them all. Miss, can you help me think about it and see if there’s anyone missing?”
Baisu was a little uneasy. Lin Mengya thought that she would be the most nervous one, but she didn’t expect that this cold beauty would be more nervous than her.
“Okay, I’ll check them with you. Otherwise, if we miss anyone, my ears will be disturbed.”
Lin Mengya curled her lips. They had enough gifts for everyone, not to mention the gifts for people in her courtyard.
In fact, when Baisu went to buy things in the past few days, she paid by herself for a big cart of good stuff and brought it back.
With the things she bought, there would be more than enough for everyone. How could it not be enough?
Qinghu sat at the door with a faint smile on his face. He looked at the two girls who carefully checked the gift list.
He didn’t ask for much, and this was enough.
In the rain, the carriage sped away.
Those people in the Capital City must have not expected that Lin Mengya, who had once been thought to have died, would come back again, right?
But she was not sure how great influence she would exert this time.
Early in the morning, outside a mansion in the suburb of the Capital City.
For about a dozen miles around, all the land belonged to this seemingly small but actually extremely secret mansion.
The mansion was located at the foot of the mountain, and the front yard alone was a house with three entrances.
As for the backyard, no outsiders had ever entered it.
Because there were few people around, there were very few outsiders visiting here.
But on the few acres of land outside the gate, fresh fruits and vegetables were hanging all over the branches.
Perhaps because of the master’s hard work, those fruits looked particularly pleasant.
But today, on the small road that no one had visited for a long time, the sound of hooves could be heard.
Two carriages, one in the front and one in the back, were slowly moving along the small road.
Before they reached the gate of the yard, several people looking like family servants stood in their way.
“My distinguished guest, this is a private house. My master likes peace and quiet, so he doesn’t like outsiders to visit. Please don’t go forward.”
His words were polite, but these people were strong, so it was obvious that they were good at martial arts.
Only the one who spoke, although he was dressed in coarse clothes, was calm and honest, looking delicate and handsome.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Brother Tian Ning is becoming more and more reliable. Thank you for being here for such a long time.”
A delicate and soft female voice came out of the carriage, but Tian Ning was stunned on the spot.
His black eyes were full of disbelief. How… how could it be!
“Brother Tian Ning, long time no see.”
The white and tender hand lifted the curtain, and a beautiful face with a gentle smile appeared in Tian Ning’s sight.
It was her! It was really her!
With a burst of ecstasy in his heart, even a man like Tian Ning felt like crying, the rims of his eyes red.
“Mom! Mom! Come and take a look at who’s back!”
Tian Ning ran into the yard while staring at Lin Mengya. He was so happy that he forgot everything. He was no longer as calm as he used to be.
Lin Mengya shook her head. Those family servants were all arranged by Qinghu.
Now that they saw him, they made way for them.
When their carriage reached the gate of the mansion, the originally spacious gate was filled with people.
Some were laughing with tears, while some were crying with smile.
But everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lin Mengya feverishly.
Lin Mengya got out of the carriage with Baisu’s help. She was also very excited.
Her trembling body, as well as her reddened eyes, had long betrayed the calm illusion that she was trying her best to give.
“Everyone… I’m back.”
“Master! Miss! Ya’er!…”
They called her in different ways and behaved variously.
But the same thing that everyone did was to open their arms to this resurrected girl regardless of anything.
