Chapter 712 A Secret Operation
As soon as Lin Mengya entered the room, she dismissed all her maids except for Hongyu.
“First Miss, as you expected, those spies have gone to the Imperial Palace and the Shangguan’s Mansion,” the servant said.
Lin Mengya nodded and waved her hand as a hint for the servant to leave.
Now that her brother was back, those spies’ current attitude was crucial.
Whether her family members and companions would be able to escape safely depended on whether those spies would take the opportunity to make trouble in the next few days.
The members of her courtyard would be sent to a safe place by Lin Mengya successively in the next few days.
Only Hongyu would follow her father and brother to their hometown. Once her father and brother arrived safely, Hongyu would also be sent to a safe place by someone specially assigned.
The inconspicuous small courtyard in the Capital City was just a transfer station.
If Lin Mengya could be cured and come back, they could certainly come back to her if they were willing to.
Once she had an accident, they would become the priority target of her enemies.
Therefore, Lin Mengya had made proper arrangements for them.
“Since Young Master is back, why are you still so worried?” As Hongyu asked, she massaged Lin Mengya’s shoulders with moderate strength.
She was willing to obey any arrangement her master made.
Nevertheless, seeing that her master strained herself every day, she, who couldn’t help her master, felt so sorry about it.
“My brother’s returning doesn’t mean that those people decide to let go of us. Think about it, my brother was bled every day in prison. Do you think that such a strange thing will end with the release of my brother?” Lin Mengya said with a frown.
She had no idea what the Emperor was up to, but she was sure of one thing: The extremely shrewd Emperor would definitely try every means to get what he wanted.
This time, although he had released her brother, he might be up to no good.
Now she planned to use Mao Yuze’s visit to the Capital City and Lin Mengwu’s wedding ceremony to temporarily distract those the Emperor sent to chase them, but things probably would not go smoothly.
Hongyu nodded silently.
She, who was not as wise and far-sighted as her master, could only help her master as much as possible by performing her duties properly.
“Have Mengwu’s dowries been prepared? Is there anything unusual going on in the He Family?” Lin Mengya asked.
This time, Lin Mengya chose a man from the He Family, which was famous for engaging in business deals in the Capital City, as Lin Mengwu’s husband.
Moreover, the He Family was inextricably linked with the royal family and could be considered as one of the top families in the Capital City.
However, they were extremely protective of their family members and never let go of whoever messed with them.
Lin Mengya believed that no matter how formidable Shangguan Qing was, Shangguan Qing had to think it over before picking on such a good family she arranged for Lin Mengwu to marry into.
As Lin Mengya thought, she showed a sneer.
When she got married, Lin Mengwu gave her a handful of deadly dates.
Now she arranged for Lin Mengwu to marry into an awful family in return.
Hongyu shook her head and said with her worried look replaced by a cold look, “The He Family is very satisfied with the Second Miss. I believe that the Second Miss will certainly live a wealthy and healthy life after marrying into the He Family.”
With such a temperament, how could Lin Mengwu live well in the overbearing He Family?
Furthermore, the Eldest Young Master of the He Family was said to be known as a vicious playboy, who had dallied with at least eight or ten beautiful girls over the years.
Such a vicious person and Lin Mengwu could make a perfect couple.
“Great. Prepare the best dowries for her. The Second Miss of our Lin Family is going to have a grand wedding ceremony three days later,” Lin Mengya said with a flash of shrewdness in her beautiful eyes, wondering if Shangguan Qing would be satisfied with her son-in-law’s family.
Lin Mengya felt two days had passed in the twinkling of an eye.
Fortunately, the Lin Family didn’t need to prepare a lot of things as they were going to marry off a daughter. The He Family would certainly inform their relatives and friends about this. Nevertheless, Lin Mengya had told them in advance to conceal the bride’s identity, for fear that the Shangguan Family would come to spoil the wedding ceremony.
The He Family only said the bride was a Miss from a wealthy and influential family in the Capital City, which was well-matched in social status with the He Family.
As such, although the He Family had been busy with preparing for the wedding ceremony and inviting their friends and relatives a month ago, very few people knew the mysterious bride’s real identity.
At the same time, the Shangguan Family, who had been busy enough with their own affairs, did not notice that the wedding was being held secretly under their noses.
Lin Mengya had arranged everything and mobilized as many forces as possible to take actions secretly in a well-ordered way.
Now, she was probably the idlest person in the entire Lin Family.
Lin Mengya, who was bored to death, could only read in her room.
All of a sudden, a pair of warm hands covered her eyes.
“Stop it. You’re playing a trick again,” Lin Mengya said with a charming smile, put down the book in her hands, gently patted the big hands she was familiar with, and leaned against his chest in relaxation.
The two of them snuggled up, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
“Why do you have time to come back? I heard that you’ve been busy these days,” as Lin Mengya said, she turned around and put her arms around Long Tianyu’s neck.
Long Tianyu was in good spirits despite his slightly tired look.
It seemed that he had been very busy these days.
“I can handle it. I just miss you. Qinghu told me that Lin Mengwu is going to get married tomorrow, right?” He asked.
Lin Mengya did not intend to keep this from him.
Long Tianyu had been occupied with many things, so she didn’t want him to be distracted by such a trifle.
“What’s up? Are you reluctant to see that?” She said reproachfully and gently rested her finger on Long Tianyu’s chest, but her slightly coquettish tone melted him.
“Of course not. Do you need my help?” Long Tianyu asked.
To be honest, he had never had any feeling for Lin Mengwu.
Back then, Shangguan Qing had tried every means to make him marry Lin Mengwu.
From then on, he had a strong aversion to Lin Mengwu.
“Not for the time being. Don’t worry. I can handle this. Although you’ve been busy these days, don’t push yourself too hard,” as Lin Mengya said, she gently adjusted Long Tianyu’s clothes with her small hands.
She could only hide her reluctance to part with him. Otherwise, she, who had tried hard to convince herself to leave, would involuntarily drop the idea of leaving because of the man in front of her.
“Okay, the same goes for you. After I’m done with this, I’ll take you out to seek the antidote. Now the Shangguan Family is no longer a threat to us. My father is collecting evidence and will punish them. Although Shangguan Qingyu is in charge of the Shangguan Family, they won’t be able to achieve anything in a short time,” Long Tianyu said.
Lin Mengya rested against Long Tianyu’s chest with her eyes closed, feeling at ease.
She listened to him telling his plan in a low voice, with ripples of delight in her heart, although she knew that it might not come true.
“You’re the boss,” Lin Mengya said, while apologizing to Long Tianyu in her heart.
It was just that he had too many responsibilities on his shoulders, so it was destined that only she could act willfully.
After dealing with the Shangguan Family, he might have other things to handle, and she couldn’t let him leave all these behind.
Therefore, she could only leave him behind for the time being.
“When I came in just now, I bumped into your brother. But he seemed to have a lot on his mind. What’s wrong? Does he get into any other trouble?” Long Tianyu asked.
Hearing this, Lin Mengya opened her eyes and shook her head innocently, not giving herself away.
“Maybe it’s because my brother is afraid that the Shangguan Family will find out about the wedding. But how dare you come here in daytime? Aren’t you afraid that my father will break your legs?” She teased Long Tianyu.
In fact, she knew clearly that she couldn’t hide his visit from her father.
However, Lin Muzhi could only tacitly consent to this for the sake of her.
“No, my father-in-law is a man of sense and will never do this to me,” Long Tianyu said with a little cold sweat on his forehead.
How could Lin Muzhi be unaware of this? He had obviously caught Long Tianyu on the spot before.
If he hadn’t been so quick-witted as to explain to his father-in-law sincerely, his legs probably would have been broken.
“Really? Why didn’t I find your father-in-law so considerate? Well, I’ve learned what has happened between you two long before. Don’t forget that you are in the Lin’s Mansion, not your Prince Yu’s Mansion,” Lin Mengya tapped his strong chest with a smile and said complacently.
However, Long Tianyu suddenly held her slender waist tightly and said, “I know you enjoy living here very much, but when can you go home with me? I can’t stay there any longer without you.”
He always said these kinds of words, which even gave Lin Mengya a deep creepy feeling, in a very serious tone.
Looking into his dark eyes, Lin Mengya could only bury her head in his arms and apologetically dodged the affection in his eyes.
She said, “I’ll go back after a period of time, at least after getting your father’s permission. Otherwise, I’ll have to nurse my health while dealing with those women who try to seduce you. What if I have a hard time recovering and have to suffer a lingering effect of the disease?”
Hearing this, Long Tianyu hurriedly held her more tightly and said, “You’re right. You must nurse your health properly. Although I’m not very anxious, I still want to be a father as soon as possible. But your health is the most important thing. As long as you can recover, even if we don’t have any children, I’m fine with that.”
Lin Mengya held him tightly with her hands on his back.
How she wished that she could stay with him forever and never have to part with him.
