Chapter 908 The Beginning of the Conspiracy

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

With a smile on his face, Qinghu finally brought her into Sanjue Hall.

After passing through the lobby bustling with people and a spacious garden, they finally arrived at the courtyard in the depths.

It was hard to build a mansion on the riverbed. Moreover, this mansion had such a large scale.

It was the first time Lin Mengya had known how good it felt to be rich.

“It’s designed according to what the previous mansion looked like. And I’ve added some things. Have a look to see whether you like it.”

Lin Mengya looked around with satisfaction because it was indeed the traditional style she wanted.

She couldn’t help looking at Qinghu with appreciation. She had not expected him to have such good taste.

“It’s not bad. If we have time in the future, I would open an indoor design company for you. Maybe you can make a lot of money with your ability.”

While Lin Mengya was speaking in a sneaky tone, Her eyes were filled with calculation. She was thinking about how to take advantage of Qinghu all the time.

Although Qinghu didn’t understand her words, he couldn’t help feeling a chill going down his spine, thinking Lin Mengya was indeed making the best use of him.

“We’re too busy. We’ll talk about it when we have time.”

Qinghu could not help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead when seeing her finally looking away from him.

He had been leading a hard life since she had begun to think about how to take advantage of him.

“How is the matter of the Feng Family going on?”

Walking into the main room, Lin Mengya elegantly sat on her knees behind the table. Baili Rui was in the wing room next to the main room, and Qinghu had asked the best servants to take care of him.

There were many more medicinal materials here than in Yunzhu’s place, so he could recover faster.

Moreover, it was very safe here. Even Yunzhu’s men could not sneak in.

If it weren’t for the fear that others might find out her real identity, Baiji and the others would have long been sent here. Some things couldn’t be exposed yet. They must be kept confidential at least for the time being.

“Long Tianyu should be here soon. When Yunzhu’s men went to meet him, they didn’t expose your identity. They said that the hall master of Sanjue Hall wanted to talk to him about something important. He has been curious about this place for a long time and does not know what you think about it.”

There was a faint smile on Qinghu’s face. When hearing the news that Lin Mengya had been kidnapped for no reason, he and Long Tianyu had both been so irritable that they had almost overturned the entire Capital City.

If Yunzhu had not sent people to inform them in time, they would have done something radical without scruples.

“Of course, we’ll open the door to welcome our guest. But no one but he is allowed to come in. We’d better not let others know about our identities. By the way, are Baiji and Baizhi all right?”

In fact, Lin Mengya had wanted to ask about them as soon as meeting Qinghu. But his expression had looked calm as usual, so she was sure that they were safe and sound now.

Sure enough, Qinghu nodded without hesitation. Although the fire had been big, there were a lot of flowing water in Liuxin Courtyard because of its elegant scenery of floating wine cup along the winding water which had been designed in the beginning.

When they arrived at the mansion, Liuxin Courtyard had suffered the least loss.

The two girls had been frightened but not gotten hurt, which was the best out of the worst.

“That’s good. The bad romance between Yunzhu and my teacher has made many people die. Maybe it is retribution that their relationship has reached this point. Have you secretly compensated the families of the people who died in the mansion? Although money can’t bring them back to life, it can at least make their families live better.”

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and felt a little depressed.

In the past, she had often heard people say that some sacrifices were inevitable if she wanted a remarkable achievement.

But even though she was used to people dying in front of her, she still couldn’t bear to see innocent people being killed.

This was probably a kind of helplessness.

“Don’t worry, I will handle it well. You don’t have to blame yourself. Life and death lie in the lap of the gods. This is their destiny. Let’s put the compensation aside for the time being. I want to know how you plan to punish those culprits.”

Qinghu smiled with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

They both knew that they were going to fight a bloody war in the Capital City since Lin Mengya had returned.

Feng Zidie had started it by setting Prince Yu’s Mansion on fire.

So, they must take advantage of it. Otherwise, such a good opportunity would be wasted.

“We will of course kill them all.”

Lin Mengya raised her head and put away the kindness she didn’t need so as to become the most coldhearted person in the world.

“Good! You deserve to be our hall master. Since you made up your mind, you should do something big. Getting rid of those people now will save us a lot of trouble in the future.”

Lin Mengya understood what Qinghu meant. Since the old ministers behind Princess Linlang had something on the Feng family, the Emperor had to seek justice for them.

But this was not good news for Long Tianyu.

The Crown Prince and the Queen had long been afraid of and dissatisfied with his growing strength, so they would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

But Lin Mengya was not afraid of their moves. On the contrary, she even hoped their moves to be as big as possible.

Because the more eager for quick success and instant benefits they were, the more flaws they would show.

This time, she would not give those people a chance to breathe!

“I see. Has the Shangguan family made any big moves recently?”

Since the Lin family’s military power had been taken away, the Shangguan family had seemingly ceased all activities, but in fact, they wanted to get a share.

After the Jin Family had been unexpectedly elbowed out, the military power was now under the joint control of several senior generals with outstanding military achievements.

It could be regarded as a kind of balance. At least, the military power would not fall into the hands of either side in this way. But before the matter was settled, those people would not be able to live in peace.

The Shangguan family was too quiet, so they must be plotting something.

“There is nothing special about the Shangguan family. I just heard that the Empress wanted the Crown Prince to marry her niece, but he somehow refused and quarreled with her. It is said that the Empress was so angry that she fell ill and is recuperating in the palace now.”

“That ambitious woman actually fell ill?”

Lin Mengya was dubious about it, but she had no evidence, so she couldn’t make any judgment for the time being.

“If we have spies in the palace, let them keep an eye on the Empress and Princess Tiancheng. We must get the news as soon as there is a sign of disturbance or trouble. As for the Crown Prince, we don’t need to care about him.”

It was ironic that the members of the Shangguan family who needed Lin Mengya to be wary of were all women.

The Crown Prince and those unlucky cannon fodders were all idiots.

“Okay! You can rest assured. She won’t be able to run away.”

Qinghu’s eyes were bright. Even if Lin Mengya had not asked him to do it, he would send people to keep an eye on the two vipers of the Shangguan family.

Lin Mengya picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip of the long prepared tea, and said,

“How are Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu? Have they regained their arrogance?”

They must have suffered a lot of grievances and contempt. Shangguan Qing used to be very arrogant, so she must hate the people who had reduced her and her daughter to the current miserable situation to the core.

However, she, her father, and her brother were “dead” in the eyes of outsiders.

Since they had lost their main target, Ling Mengya didn’t know whom the two mad dogs would bite.

“They’ve almost recovered. I’m afraid they can barely stand it anymore and can’t wait to make trouble again now.”

“Humph!” Lin Mengya sneered and said in a low voice,

“If so, send them back to the Capital City. Tell our people that no matter what they want, they must try their best to meet their requirements. I want to see how they will smear and frame up others.”

There was a smile on Lin Mengya’s red lips, and the little devil in her heart was laughing sinisterly.

It would be a wonderful show. She wanted to see how crazily the young lady of the Shangguan family who had been carefully cultivated would bite others. And her targets could only blame themselves for being unlucky.

“Deputy Hall Master, an honored guest came.”

A respectful voice sounded outside the courtyard.

Lin Mengya’s heart skipped a beat, and then she smiled cunningly like a little fox.

He was even faster than she had thought.

After exchanging glances with Qinghu, Lin Mengya got up and hid in the chamber.

Qinghu pretended to be relaxed and replied with a loud voice, “Let him come in.”

“Sanjue Hall. This is Sanjue Hall.” Long Tianyu sat in the hall with a cold face, and the look in his eyes was gloomy. He had heard of this place before, but every time he had come here, he had been stopped outside the gate by the steward.

They had said that it was a private organization and refused to associate with the government.

This reason was strange, and he always felt that Sanjue Hall was not simple.

Its headquarters was located in the suburbs of the capital, but they were openly making a living by selling intelligence.

So, he always had a feeling that someone was spying on him.

He hadn’t expected Sanjue Hall would invite him here.

He secretly looked around in the triangle-shaped building that he had just entered. It was said that Mr. Sanjue was living on the top of each of the three buildings.

Moreover, the positions of Mr. Sanjue belonged to the people who had the ability.

Since the establishment of Sanjue Hall, the people in the positions had changed several times.

But Mr. Wujue had never shown up in public. Long Tianyu wanted to know how powerful these people were.

If he could take them into his camp, they would be of great help.

But it was said Sanjue Hall was very powerful and attractive. Many people had given up their posts in the government to get a job here.

It seemed the mysterious hall master was the most powerful.

This time, it was the hall master that had personally issued the invitation, so Long Tianyu could not help feeling a little nervous.

But he also could not wait to see how powerful the hall master of Sanjue Hall was!

“Distinguished guest, sorry for letting you wait so long. This way, please.”

The smiling steward bowed respectfully, although he had not asked about Long Tianyu’s identity since he had come.

But it was obvious that he knew that he was Prince Yu who was famous.

However, Long Tianyu must play by the rules here. Since the steward didn’t point it out, he couldn’t put on airs as a prince.

Therefore, he had no choice but to follow him to the backyard with caution.
