Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 188 A Bad Atmosphere in Prince Yu’s Mansion

“Ah—”

That man whose tongue was cut screamed out.

He fell down on the ground with his eyes rolling back.

Qinghu stood behind Lin Mengya, whose sharp knife was covered with blood that was dropping.

“Take your people back to the Willow Gang. Send a message for me to your boss that I will destroy the Willow Gang if any one of his people make trouble.”

Those men from the Willow Gang formed a circle.

Therefore, few passersby outside that circle saw what had happened clearly.

In essence, the Willow Gang was a gang of bad eggs. They had no chance to witness such a scene.

At once, they carried their companions and fled in every direction. If one of their companions died or not, no one knew, but the other one was really dead for a while.

“Let’s go back.”

The three maids, other than Baisu and Lin Zhongyu, were scared and at a loss.

“Relax. Master won’t hurt us.”

Baisu put away her sword and comforted them.

Although she went well along with them, Baisu realized now that she was different from them.

Her destiny had been decided since she was born.

Her destiny let her even sacrifice for her Young Master without even blinking her eyes.

“I know you will also protect us.”

All of a sudden, her cold hands were wrapped by a pair of warm and gentle hands.

She turned round and stared at Baiji blankly.

Baiji’s face was still pale, but her eyes on Baisu had no fright or fear at all.

“Aren’t you—scared of me?”

Since she met them, Baisu had been avoiding killing in their presence.

In comparison with the three maids, Baisu was a ghost with her hands full of blood.

But she never imagined that her companions would treat her like normal after this.

It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t touched by them.

“Why would we feel scared of you? From the first day you came into Master’s place, those fierce servants have never bullied us.”

The youngest Baizhi grabbed Baisu’s hands like a spoiled child.

Baizhi was a maid, but Lin Mengya loved her the most, other than Lin Zhongyu, in the Liuxin Courtyard.

Even Lin Mengya would give her some delicious special food occasionally.

Baishao’s vigor was renewed, and she put her arm on Baisu.

“If I was good at Kungfu like you, I would have beaten those who bullied my family down. Now, we have you. No one dares to bully us.”

The four maids became intimate again.

Lin Mengya turned around and couldn’t help cracking a smile as she looked at them.

The four maids would have to get involved in Sanjue Hall more or less.

It would be terrible if they were not bold enough.

“Little girl, your people have to be bold enough,” Qinghu shook his head at Lin Mengya, and said.

“Everyone has to have the courage as long as he walks on Earth. Let’s go back.”

Lin Mengya specially rented a dolly to carry what they had bought to where Baiji’s parents lived, as if nothing bloody had occurred.

But she failed to notice an unfamiliar, cold stare from the person who was standing by the window on the second floor of a tavern.

“Is she the protector of that bastard? Really clever. Meng Yuan, go find out what she has.”

Behind that man stood another man in foreign clothes, who humbly replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”

A pair of hands as white as jade were forcefully thrown onto the handrail.

“Little bastard, your life is mine.”

As they came back to the mansion, Lin Mengya was informed suddenly that Concubine De was coming back.

Long Tianhao entered the palace early in the morning.

“Your Highness, the prince left a note saying that you’d better not go out casually. It’s better to stay in your room.”

“Not go out? Why?”

Lin Mengya felt puzzled, but she believed that Long Tianhao issued that order for some reason.

She nodded and enjoined her servants not to go out if it was not necessary.

“Oh, when will Concubine De come back? Should I greet her?”

Steward Deng hesitated to shake his head. He said that he had little idea when Concubine De would arrive.

Lin Mengya felt a little weird. Upon her arrival at home, all the servants glanced at her and secretly gossiped about her. They didn’t do it in public though.

“Master, is there something wrong?”

Baizhi, who just returned from the kitchen for dinner, frowned and entered Liuxin Courtyard.

“What happened? Is there someone embarrassing you?”

Baiji, who was sewing a gorgeous peony, teased her.

“No. But they asked about Master’s past.”

Lin Mengya, who was reading a book sitting in a chair, lifted her head up due to what Baizhi said.

“Oh? What did they ask about?”

Baizhi picked a pearl up and threw it between her hands, answering, “Everything. The question they asked the most is how Master’s mother died, and something else about your childhood.”

“My childhood?” Lin Mengya thought about it for a while. People in the Capital City knew everything about her.

“Why did someone pry into my past right now?”

“And what was your answer?” Lin Mengya put the book down and asked.

“I said nothing. Baiji has told us not to tell others about Master.”

Lin Mengya looked at Baiji admiringly. “This little girl teaches them well.”

“It’s okay. Relax. They may just ask. And my past is not a secret at all.”

Lin Mengya thought about it, and failed to find something wrong.

There were lots of busybodies in Prince Yu’s Mansion. Those women would discuss nothing else but gossip.

Maybe she had become too well-known recently. They felt curious.

“They may not say something bad about Master, I imagine. But if they really do, I will definitely tear their mouths apart.”

“Right.” Lin Mengya smiled at Baishao, who was winding the thread for Baiji.

“There is a candidate for shrew in Liuxin Courtyard.

“Who dares to gossip about me?”

Concubine De arrived at Prince Yu’s Mansion at dusk.

As her daughter-in-law, Lin Mengya had already been waiting at the gate with all the servants.

The incomparably graceful Concubine De slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Long Tianhao held her hand, but his eyebrows moved together slightly.

“Welcome back, mother.”

Lin Mengya greeted her politely. When she was about to hold Concubine De’s other hand, she grabbed at nothing.

Lin Mengya stood still, not knowing what to do.

“Fine, I’m tired. See yourself out. Don’t step into my room unless it is necessary.”

Concubine De spoke in a cold tone, not as intimate as before.

Lin Mengya froze in astonishment. “What—happened?”

“You’d better leave, Your Highness. Jinyue died. Concubine De is in a bad mood now,” Aunt Jingyue standing aside, gently said.

Aunt Jingyue had few words for Lin Mengya before. Looking at her, Lin Mengya numbly nodded.

“Did I do something wrong?”

“It’s no wonder that Concubine De is in bad mood. It’s all because Aunt Jinyue suddenly passed away.”

After Lin Mengya returned to her place, Steward Deng specially greeted her.

Lin Mengya was told that Aunt Jinyue, who treated her kindly and gently, died of illness in the palace.

But she wouldn’t believe it.

Aunt Jinyue was in a good health condition when she left her.

What on earth happened in the palace recently?

“Baiji, send a message to the prince. Tell him to wait for me when he gets back to his room. I have something to discuss with him.”

“Yes, Master.”

Baiji immediately went to Qinwu Courtyard. Lin Mengya sensed that Concubine De, whom she had just greeted, seemed a little weird, no matter what.

A while later, Baiji rushed back to Liuxin Courtyard.

She frowned tightly as if there was some hidden trouble that was hard to say.

“What’s the matter? Who bullied you?”

Baiji shook her head. She cautiously looked at Lin Mengya and said in a low voice, “I failed to send the message because I was stopped at the door of Qinwu Courtyard. The guards told me that Concubine De issued an order that anyone from Liuxin Courtyard is banned to enter the prince’s yard without her permission.”

When hearing Baiji’s words, Lin Mengya frowned more tightly.

“What’s going on? What did I do? When did I annoy Concubine De?”

“Perhaps the prince is tired. Fine, we still have time. You can go now. Leave me alone.”

Lin Mengya felt as if she were at sea. In the past, Concubine De often ordered Aunt Jinyue to force Long Tianhao to come here.

But now, she had issued an order banning people in Liuxin Courtyard from going there.

Such a big change in her attitude surprised Lin Mengya completely.

Then, Lin Mengya called out lightly in her room, “Are you here, Night?”

No answer came, but a bit of wind blew.

When she lifted her head the second time, Night showed up in front of her.

“If it’s convenient for you, could you tell me what Concubine De and the prince did today, and what kind of people they met?”

Night remembered that the prince told him to listen to the princess. Therefore, he answered in a plain, stiff tone, “The prince just took Concubine De back. As for what happened in the palace, I didn’t know. But on the road, I heard the prince and Concubine De quarrel. The princess banned me from getting close to him, so I didn’t hear it clearly.”

“So strange. Long Tianhao is indifferent, but filial.

“What kind of thing would cause a quarrel between him and Concubine De?

“Does it have anything to do with the change of Concubine De?”
