Chapter 595 End Hastily

Now the situation became very delicate.

Both Lin Mengya and Madam Wu clung to their arguments. However, both of them had concrete evidence. Now, the only way to get the final truth was to prove that either of them lied.

Obviously, Lin Mengya and Madam Wu noticed this. At that moment, they were probably trying to find out the flaw in the other side’s argument.

“You are right. The baby is indeed mine. Your Highness, you guess correctly.”

For some unknown reason, Madam Wu, who had argued with Lin Mengya sharply just now, admitted it openly.

This was indeed beyond Lin Mengya’s expectation.

“All of you may leave now. I want to have a private talk with her.”

Subconsciously, Lin Mengya did not want the following conversation to be heard by the others.

The crowd, who had watched enough of the farce, was dispersed by the guards.

Soon, only Lin Mengya and Madam Wu were left in the open space.

“I have to admit that you are very smart.”

Madam Wu said, as if she had laid down a burden.

As Madam Wu stopped pretending, the timid expression faded from her face.

She, with a delicate and sedate look, looked into Lin Mengya’s eyes fearlessly.

However, there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

“I’m not smart, but just observant. In fact, you did quite a good job in pretending. Are you really not afraid of death?”

After all, the reason why Lin Mengya was able to avoid a lot of open and secret attacks and managed to get herself off the hooks was that she thought more than others.

However, the so-called smartness brought her increasingly powerful opponents and increasingly meticulous tricks.

She really didn’t know what else was in front of her if she kept going down this way.

“It’s true. If I didn’t have a grudge against this baby, you wouldn’t be able to catch me. But Princess Yu, what can you do after catching me? I’m just a kite manipulated by someone. Since the moment I fell down, the string connecting the one and me has been cut off.”

There was a hint of determination in Madam Wu’s tone.

Lin Mengya found it extremely familiar. She frowned slightly and looked at Madam Wu with more doubt in her eyes.

“You… are a member of the Candle Dragon Cult?”

Madam Wu silently nodded, but at this moment, her face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Lin Mengya realized that something went wrong. When she was about to rush over to check on Madam Wu, Madam Wu, who had stood in front of her just now, fell quietly at her feet in the next moment.

“My child… He is innocent…”

Madam Wu said with blood gushing out of her mouth and nose.

Lin Mengya did not smell any poison on her.

In this case, the only explanation was very clear.

“Tell me, what are you up to?”

Lin Mengya held Madam Wu’s head and asked. With no vitality in her eyes and her pupils beginning to disperse, Madam Wu was probably dying.

“I… I’m not here to harm you… Be careful… be careful…”

Madam Wu said her last words in Lin Mengya’s ear.

Lin Mengya froze on the spot as if she had gotten an electric shock.

What did she mean?

Seeing that she had accomplished her mission, Madam Wu died with a smile.

Lin Mengya looked at the woman, who died in her arms, with a complicated expression, wondering what her last words mean.

“Are you alright, Your Highness?”

Li Jia came up to Lin Mengya hurriedly from a distance and asked with concern.

Shaking her head, Lin Mengya silently put Madam Wu’s body on the grass under her feet.

“I’m fine. Bury her properly.”

No matter what Madam Wu was up to, her last words worried Lin Mengya a little.

If Madam Wu only intended to sow discord among them at the cost of her life, she might have gone a little too far.

But if what Madam Wu said was true, then—

Shaking her head, Lin Mengya decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

Madam Wu left quite an awful mess after making a scene.

If she did not handle it properly, all Long Tianyu’s efforts would be wasted.

She subconsciously walked to her tent, but was pulled back from her thoughts by a figure in front of her.

“Thank you, Mengya. You saved the life of another member of my family. Please accept my bow.”

Xiao Yixin said with emotion. Since he was rescued by Baili Rui, he seemed to have attached great importance to his family.

It was a good thing.

“Don’t do that. This is what I should do. Teacher, Xiu, thank you for your hard work.”

Lin Mengya said with a smile and neatly avoided Xiao Yixin’s bow.

To be honest, she didn’t care much about others’ gratitude. If possible, she didn’t even want to have too much contact with those clans.

Today she learned that there was no permanent loyalty and only permanent interests.

Because of a so-called witness, she became the target of all. It was terrible to be blamed by everyone.

“Don’t mention it. You’d better have a good rest. We’ll come later.”

Baili Rui looked at his student with pity. Perhaps others could not tell it, but he always knew that there was a delicate and soft part hidden in her heart.

However, it was a pity that from now on, no matter how gentle she looked, there would no longer be any soft part in her heart.

He really didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

What Madam Wu had done ended up with nothing definite.

Lin Mengya neither wanted to know nor find out how many versions of rumors there were.

However, the atmosphere in the isolated campsite became more or less weird.

Lin Mengya still went to check on the babies and women in each tent with Xiu. However, she rarely smiled sincerely as before.

Everyone became constrained, because they all knew that they had completely offended Princess Yu in the disturbance a few days ago.

They were waiting for Princess Yu’s punishment uneasily, but she didn’t say anything. However, they found the uneasiness of waiting for punishment more unbearable than being punished.

Meanwhile, the men, who had received the news, wrote letters one after another to vehemently condemned their wives.

Some of them even directly sent a letter to announce divorce.

In the repressed and even somewhat sad atmosphere, those women did not know what their mistakes had brought.

After performing the routine of making sure that everyone was safe and sound, Lin Mengya returned to her tent.

The baby of the Wu family was naturally under his aunt’s care.

Meanwhile, the poor baby, used as a tool by Madam Wu, was left to Lin Mengya.

The baby probably had much affinity with Lin Mengya.

He only showed a lovely smile when he was alone with Lin Mengya.

Looking at the baby’s white and delicate face, Lin Mengya involuntarily became joyful.

Perhaps after handling the business, she could consider taking this baby to the capital city with her.

Come to think of it, she found that there were more and more people in her Liuxin Courtyard.

“Sister, this is the chicken soup I made. Please have some at least.”

At the entrance, Xiu carefully put a big bowl of fragrant chicken soup beside Lin Mengya’s hand.

She had been in a bad mood and kept a straight face these days.

Fortunately, Xiu took care of her while thinking of various ways to offer her some delicious food.

“Thank you. Sit down. I want to have a talk with you.”

Xiu sat on the bed obediently like a well-behaved girl.

Lin Mengya looked at her, suddenly chuckled and said gently.

“How is Xiaoyu… going?”

Lin Mengya’s words instantly flustered Xiu.

Xiu could lie in front of anyone but Lin Mengya. She had always been panic-stricken and easy to be seen through in front of Lin Mengya.

However, Xiu calmed down after the panic.

Looking at Lin Mengya, she nodded silently and spoke.

“He asked me to tell you that he lives well if I meet you.”

Such a real answer distressed Lin Mengya a little.

“That’s how he is. He always thinks for me and doesn’t want me to worry about him. Don’t be afraid. I won’t ask anything I’m not supposed to know. I don’t want to know the identities of you and Xiaoyu. But I can tell that you like him, right?”

Lin Mengya was not dull-witted. From Xiu’s abnormal reaction, she could get the picture.

Nevertheless, she did not expect that the person Xiu liked was Xiaoyu.

If it weren’t for the fact that today she thought of where Little Bean had gone, she wouldn’t have suddenly realized that Xiaoyu was the one most likely to have connections with Xiu.

Moreover, Xiaoyu looked steadier than his peers, but in fact, he relied on her more than anyone else.

Since Xiu kept thinking of learning from her in all respects, there was no doubt that the one Xiu liked was Xiaoyu.

“Yes, Childe Yu is great, even better than all the other childes in Lieyun.”

Xiu admitted it with a blush.

Even Lin Mengya involuntarily admired such a simple and straightforward girl a little.

She probably could never be so straightforward in love during her lifetime.

Holding Xiu’s little hand, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone that Xiu was the most suitable person for Xiaoyu.

“We’re destined to be friends. Since you like Xiaoyu and we’re on intimate terms with each other, I should help you.”

As soon as Xiu heard that Lin Mengya was going to help her, she immediately opened her eyes wide.

At the sight of this, Lin Mengya thought that this girl was really cute.

“I don’t know what Xiaoyu is going through now, but I can sense that he’s in a difficult situation. Xiu, remember, if the person you like is going through something terrible, the best solution is not to turn a blind eye to it, but to lend a helping hand to him.”
