Chapter 907 Scheming Against the Feng Family
After Lin Mengya’s teacher had come out of the coma, she became less worried than a few days ago, although he was always asleep.
Finally, she slept through the night. As soon as she woke up the next day, Yunzhu came to her with a gloomy look.
It seemed Cheng Zixin had been killed.
“You must have asked him what you should ask. What did he say?”
Although Yunzhu used to be very affectionate and obedient to Cheng Zixin, she would be more ruthless than anyone else after making up her mind.
Yunzhu said, “Just tell me what you want me to do.”
Their messy relationship which had lasted for more than 20 years had ended.
Yunzhu was disheartened now. If it weren’t for the hope of meeting her son, she would kill herself in a remote place.
“Don’t worry, I will let you meet your son. But whether he can accept you as his mother depends on fate.”
Baili Wuchen had been planted beside Crown Prince by Long Tianyu, but she couldn’t reveal the information about the current situation to him.
Moreover, she could not fully trust Yunzhu now.
They were just making use of each other after all.
“I know. I will be relieved to see him alive. Hah, I don’t deserve to be his mother.”
Yunzhu gave a self-mockery smile. If she hadn’t blindly misjudged Cheng Zixin, she and her son wouldn’t have been separated like this.
Unfortunately, it was useless to regret it.
“Let’s talk about these things later. Let me ask you. How is Feng Zidie now? Has she contacted you?”
Lin Mengya was unwilling to ask about Feng Zidie. She would rather live in a dream than let Long Tianyu marry someone else.
However, she was more ruthless than anyone else. Only when she could treat herself ruthlessly could she treat others so.
“I almost forgot to tell you the news. Feng Zidie didn’t marry Prince Yu. My people said that as soon as Feng Zidie’s bridal sedan chair was carried into Prince Yu’s mansion, she showed disrespect to Princess Linlang, so Prince Yu sent her back to the courier station and asked her to reflect on herself.
“They did not get married?” Lin Mengya found it hard to believe it.
But this thing must have caused an uproar, so Yunzhu’s news should be true.
Had Feng Zidie lost her mind? How could she have made such a mistake?
“Will they re-time the wedding or cancel the marriage? Their marriage has been settled a long time ago, so they can’t break off the engagement, right?”
Seeing Yunzhu’s weird expression, Lin Mengya had some expectations. Could it be…
“They haven’t signed the marriage contract. It is not Prince Yu but eight retired ministers who canceled the marriage. Princess Linlang is the only daughter of Marquis Weiyuan who died for the country. It is said that she has been fostered and pampered by these old ministers since she went to Prefecture Bing. After Feng Zidie offended her, those old ministers did not turn a blind eye but told the emperor about it. No matter how powerful the Feng family is, they can’t turn the table around this time.”
Yunzhu had brought her a piece of breaking news.
She had not understood why Long Tianyu had brought Linlang over until now.
It turned out that he was holding a trump.
This was great! If the emperor ignored it, it would hurt the retired ministers’ feelings and disappoint the ministers in service.
She immediately understood Long Tianyu’s intention. Since the Feng family had used the family heirloom as a bargaining chip to make Long Tianyu agree to marry Feng Zidie, they would have to take it out to appease the anger of the retired ministers.
This move was smart. Perhaps Long Tianyu had set up the trap before agreeing with the marriage.
But Feng Zidie didn’t understand it at all. She probably thought he would fall in love with her after getting along with her more.
“Do you need me to steal that thing out?”
Yunzhu knew the Feng Family’s bargaining chip was only the so-called family heirloom.
As long as they lost it, they would have nothing to rely on and become a pushover.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and shook her head.
“There’s no need because Long Tianyu will definitely succeed. You just need to keep in touch with her. Remind her that I’m an important bargaining chip in your hands. Then make a requirement. The greedier you seem, the better. Tell her you will give me to her as long as your requirement is met.”
Yunzhu looked at Lin Mengya, thinking the latter was always more scheming than herself.
Then, she nodded her head. She no longer had any other thoughts now. As long as she could see her son, she would be willing to do anything.
“Be wary of Miss Tong. I think she is not simple.”
It was not a big deal if Miss Tong was just an evil-minded maid who liked to stir up trouble. However, Lin Mengya guessed she should be the person who had incited Feng Zidie to cooperate with Yunzhu and come up with all those evil ideas.
Sister Linlang had a high status, so even if Feng Zidie had become Princess Yu, she must show respect to her.
But Feng Zidie had actually acted so rashly and eagerly. Maybe Sister Linlang had played cat and mouse with her. But she could not have found fault with Feng Zidie if the latter had not made such a mistake.
“I see. Are you going back?”
After talking about the Feng family’s matter, Yunzhu was at a loss of what to do when standing in front of Lin Mengya.
So, she showed a bitter smile. After all, she had lost all her dignity in front of her.
“I can’t go back now. Please send a message to Long Tianyu and tell him that someone wants to meet him in Sanjue Hall. Don’t tell him it is me. By the way, I’ll take my teacher there. Please help me arrange it.”
Things had changed. Now, there was only politeness and alienation between them.
In fact, Lin Mengya was very broadminded. If it were someone else, she or he would never forgive Yunzhu.
After being cold-shouldered, Yunzhu opened her mouth but left without saying anything in the end.
Lin Mengya stood by the window, thinking about something else.
Thanks to her teacher, she had already known what the four keys were.
The jade ruler was still in the cave, so she thought no one could get it out now. As for the millennium venomous insect, if she guessed correctly, it should be the royal venomous insect in Lieyun.
It was easy to get it. As long as Xiaoyu could tame the royal venomous insect, Lin Mengya would get it sooner or later.
As for the jade flower and the kindling…
She thought that they might have something to do with the Feng Family’s heirloom.
It seemed that she had to use some unconventional methods this time.
An inconspicuous carriage was soon prepared, which had a thick and soft quilt inside.
Lin Mengya supervised a few men carefully carrying her teacher into the carriage in person.
Even though they were leaving, Yunzhu did not come.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and carefully wiped her teacher’s face with a cloth towel.
If Yunzhu wanted to end this bad romance, she had to wait until Baili Rui recovered.
Other people’s words would not count after all.
The carriage arrived at the outskirts of the capital city smoothly. Before Lin Mengya could get out, the carter was knocked out and pulled to the ground.
“Are you okay?”
Seeing a person stick his head inside with a worried face, Lin Mengya smiled. Sure enough, it was Qinghu.
She had expected that he could not hold back his eagerness and would be the first to come to meet her.
“I’m fine. Let’s go.”
Yunzhu knew where Sanjue Hall was now but couldn’t get in.
In fact, Lin Mengya missed the big mansion. But they had no ability to protect themselves at that time, so they could only give it up and leave.
With the management of several capable people, Sanjue Hall was no longer what it used to be.
Qinghu had told her it was one of the well-known intelligence organizations now.
They had acquired all kinds of information, including how many bowls of dumplings those big shots had eaten last night.
But this was not their strongest point. Lin Mengya and Qinghu had spent a lot of money and spared no efforts to open up many trade routes in the early days.
Moreover, the emperor of the Nation of Lintian was taking care of them in person. So, steady flows of wealth were entering Sanjue Hall from all over the world now.
Sanjue Hall had money, people, and influence, but they were righteous and had never pocketed profit without sharing.
Therefore, Sanjue Hall had become a little-known invisible tycoon after merely one year.
Lin Mengya knew she must not show off her wealth. Besides, when Yunzhu had left, Sanjue Hall had fallen into turmoil.
The people arranged by Lin Mengya had taken the opportunity to purge disloyal members.
Those who remained were all loyal to Lin Mengya and Qinghu.
With their support, although she had never shown up as the hall master, no one dared to challenge her prestige.
Lin Mengya was well aware that she should adopt a carrot-and-stick approach.
Qinghu then drove the carriage in person, and they soon arrived at a bustling dock.
The traffic was never-ending, but no one dared to make a loud noise.
“Mengya, we arrived.”
Hearing Qinghu’s words, Lin Mengya poked half of her body out to take a look.
What a magnificent mansion!
The mansion was built on the water. Looking at it from the front, she found it was a building in a triangular shape.
The two words “Sanjue Hall” looked powerful. Obviously, it had been written by a famous calligrapher.
When Lin Mengya casually covered her face with the veil that Qinghu had prepared, a few smart servants came over and quietly helped Baili Rui get out of the carriage.
Looking at the magnificent building, Lin Mengya couldn’t help but marvel at the power of money.
Sure enough, money talked. Maybe Sanjue Hall was the only place in the world that could be so majestic and flamboyant.
“Deputy Hall Master, the yard has been cleaned up. Do you know when Hall Master will arrive? He is old, so he must be tired after the long journey.”
As soon as they entered the gate, a man dressed like a housekeeper came over.
He looked in his 30s and had a shrewd face, and his tone sounded kind. But why had he said she was old?
Lin Mengya’s smile under the veil froze.
She shot a strange glance at Qinghu, wondering how he had smeared her when she had been away.
Then, she secretly reached for his waist and pinched it hard.
Qinghu immediately felt the sharp pain. However, he could not cry out loud or move away now, so he could only endure it.
“You should not have asked about Hall Master’s whereabouts! Well, you can leave now. Go to do your work.”
Lin Mengya was putting forward more and more strength when pinching Qinghu’s waist. So, he was afraid that he had annoyed her so much that she wanted to skin him alive.
