Chapter 226 Perfect Couple

But Shangguan Qing’s facial expression worried her a lot, for no reason.

“Nothing. I’ll do everything, for your own good.”

The Lin family already became the target for all powers in the Capital City. She would protect Lin Mengwu from being encumbered by them.

“Although Father and Brother don’t like us, Mother, you can’t do anything stupid. Once... Father finds that out, he may take our lives away!”

Lin Mengwu was very familiar with her father’s temper. One of his assistant generals, who made a mistake, was punished with 40 lashes on his back and driven out by her father’s order, even though he followed him here and there for more than 10 years.

If Shangguan Qing did something, Lin Muzhi would not spare them at all.

Then— At the thought of losing her position as Miss Lin, Lin Mengwu felt her world end.

“Silly, even for your sake, I won’t do anything stupid. Don’t worry, my sweet. But now, we’re restricted here so I have to go ask for your grandparents’ help. No matter what, they’re in a high position in the court. I believe that your father will let us out for the sake of your grandfather.”

Shangguan Qing had her own plan. When she agreed on the joint-marriage, her father promised her to help her out if necessary.

If she managed to get her parents’ help, even Lin Muzhi could only let her out.

As long as she got out, the next plan would have the chance to start for her.

“Oh, help from my grandparents. I feel at ease now. But we are restricted now, who can help us to send a message to my grandparents?”

Lin Mengwu was really relieved. Her grandparents loved her very much.

They would help them out if they asked for their help.

“Your wet nurse will send the message for us. She followed me over here so she knows about your grandparents’ home.”

After comforting her daughter, Shangguan Qing sent her back to the room.

Looking at the somewhat desolate yard, she wore a wisp of a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.

Over the years, she had been behaving as the vice wife in order to be in the same position in Lin Muzhi’s heart.

But unexpectedly, she still failed to win his true love.

“Forget it.” She bitterly closed her eyes and a cold teardrop fell down from the corner of her eyes.

When her eyes opened again, there was nothing but heartlessness and coolness.

“Lin Muzhi! Lin Muzhi! Do you really believe that I would let you ignore me forever?

“Everything is made by you.

“You care about your son and daughter the most in the Lin family, don’t you?

“Fine, let me destroy them all, those things and people you care about the most!”

On the way back to their house, Lin Mengya said nothing and just sat inside the carriage.

“If you’re unwilling to leave them, you can stay with your father and brother for a few days, truly.”

Long Tianyu, who was sitting by the entrance of carriage, lightly proposed. Although he didn’t turn back, a somewhat noticeable care could be heard.

She lifted up her head and looked at him.

It was a little dark inside the carriage, but with the man sitting there cozily, she felt as if she was in a drawing.

She shook her head and gently refused while lightly biting her lips.

“If I lived out there, it would make things difficult for Father, Brother, and you. I can still see them, anyway. When everything’s over, I can also stay with Father.”

Her casual-sounding refusal attracted Long Tianyu’s attention more.

All kinds of hidden powers were already getting ready to move outside the general’s mansion. “She noticed that, didn’t she?”

“You saw that, didn’t you?”

Long Tianyu couldn’t help feeling surprised by her acuity. Many spies were hiding outside.

He also arranged lots of secret agents out there to keep watch on the Lin family.

“How did she find out?”

“In the street outside our house are six shops in total. A grain shop, a silk shop, and a money shop had been there before we got married. But when I went there this time, I saw a tea house and a restaurant. Their businesses are going well. But the strange thing is that there are few people on that street to enjoy tea or wine. They started a tea house or a restaurant as their disguise because many guests come and go every day so that a few strangers won’t arouse suspicion. Besides, their positions are exactly the best places to see clearly what happens in the general’s house. So I guess their owners would not start their businesses to earn money.”

She was able to remember hundreds of herbs easily, let alone two shops.

But after hearing her analysis, Long Tianyu couldn’t help feeling astonished.

Wuchen suggested to him that he should buy one of the two shops, and he declined.

Many spies were disclosed just because they knew little about the two shops.

It seemed that he really chose an excellent princess.

Lin Mengya was impeccable in every aspect.

“That’s right. There are indeed many spies out there. But you know the reason. The Lin family is in an ambiguous position now. It’s reasonable for them to be spied on.”

A flicker of satire flashed across her eyes and she asked in a low voice. “Are they your people, Your Highness?”

Immediately, Long Tianyu was totally speechless.

Looking at that pair of beautiful eyes, he didn’t avoid her question at all. Long Tianyu nodded lightly and explained.

“Actually, I want to protect your family.”

“Protect? It’s to monitor them as well. Nothing different from others.” She understood him.

After all, Long Tianyu was also one of those powers in Jin State. She didn’t mind.

“Thanks.” Lin Mengya just lightly smiled but not much sincerity could be felt in her smile.

Long Tianyu felt that he had a guilty conscience for no reason.

He crossed his slim hands unconsciously. Surprisingly, he found that it was hard to speak.

“Actually—if you mind, I can—”

The rest of his words were stuck in his throat and were hard to get out.

Somehow, he started to refuse everything she disliked.

Long Tianyu was surprised at how his heart had softened toward her. “When did this start?”

“I’m fine. I don’t mind. As a daughter of the Lin family, I’ve gotten used to it. Don’t think too much, Your Highness, I’m not an unreasonable woman.”

Lin Mengya managed to hide her disappointment. She actually wished that Long Tianyu would complete his sentence.

But it proved that her wish was hopeless.

Why would the man change his mind because of her?

She thought highly of herself.

“My people will stop anyone who tries to do harm to your family. And I’ll let you know once I get any news.”

Long Tianyu secretly glanced at her disappointed face from the side. Everyone would feel sorry when seeing her beautiful sorrow.

But he just frowned and lost himself in the surprise at his gentle affection.

Their breaths mingled together in such a narrow and small space. But there was no sound to be heard.

“Your Highness, we’ve arrived. Please get out of the carriage.”

From outside came Lin Kui’s calm voice.

“All right.”

Long Tianyu nodded, opened the curtain, and got out immediately.

Lin Mengya put down her book and fixed the hair on her forehead.

Then, she cracked a warm smile on her beautiful face.

She had to perform as a qualified princess in front of others.

She couldn’t stop her show, whether for her family or for Long Tianyu.

Hiding deep inside her bitterness, she drew the steel-gray cloth curtain.

“Thank you.”

Outside, he was waiting for her.

She put her fair hand like jade onto his black sleeve. He turned back slightly to look at her. A handsome man and a beautiful woman.

They were really a perfect couple. The spies in the dark gasped in astonishment.

Prince Yu and Princess Yu were really an unrivaled perfect couple in the Capital City!

Upon their arrival at the house, Aunt Jingyue was seen wearing an anxious expression.

“Your Highness, you’ve finally come back. Concubine De is losing her temper now. You’d better pay her a visit.”

Aunt Jingyue’s hesitation confused Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu.

Before they left, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with Concubine De. What could happen to her in only a day?

Long Tianyu moved his eyebrows together slightly. Concubine De seemed to have changed into a stranger after her return from the palace.

No news came from Night yet. He knew nothing about what had happened in the palace.

But Concubine De kept making things hard for him.

“You’d better go and have a look. I... should return to my room.”

Concubine De hated to see her in the Art Courtyard, even the morning and evening greetings were canceled as often as she could.

Lin Mengya would not act too forwardly. She thought that she’d better avoid getting involved in her matter.

“No, come with me.”

Long Tianyu grabbed her arm and stared at her determinedly.

“Concubine De would be unwilling to see me. You’d better go alone, Your Highness.”

Lin Mengya looked back at him and felt bewildered. But he was just staring at her.

“You’re my wife. You must come with me.”

Long Tianyu silently made his mind up.

“My wife can only be Lin Mengya!”

He would determinedly say no to every woman that Concubine De presented to him.

So in order to make her stop interfering with them, Lin Mengya had to go with him.

Although Lin Mengya didn’t know why, she failed to convince Long Tianyu and had to go with him.

They arrived at the Art Courtyard. But before they entered the room, a great cry was heard clearly.

After carefully examining the sound, Lin Mengya recognized a familiar voice among the cry.

“What exactly happened?”
