Chapter 672 Troublemakers

With the help of Hongyu and the other maids, it was easy to empty Prince Yu’s Mansion in less than half a day.

In particular, Lin Mengya’s instigation and Baizhi’s adding inflammatory details in a furious and loud voice made all the female members of the mansion feel indignant about the way Lin Mengya was treated.

So the male members, who had always been at a disadvantage, could only bow to the pressure from the female members.

“Miss, we’ve packed up. Are we really going back to Lin’s Mansion?” Hongyu asked.

She was the only one, who still maintained her sanity, among the servants.

It was not that she did not support her master, but she thought that it was too shocking and unbelievable for Lin Mengya to take almost all the belongings of Prince Yu’s Mansion back to her parents’ home after being deprived of her position.

“Yes, of course we’re going back. By the way, tell them that from today on, they can serve His Highness nothing other than taros, and give them the explanation that I have taken away all the money so that His Highness can no longer enjoy delectable dishes at home.”

Lin Mengya held the imperial edict composedly and gave an order in the carriage.

After thinking for a moment, Hongyu nodded and left to transmit Lin Mengya’s order.

“Let’s go back to Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion.”

As Lin Mengya gave an order, the mighty fleet immediately departed from Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Lin Mengya sat in the carriage. At this moment, she had actually cooled down.

Lin Mengya unfolded the imperial edict and read every word on it over and over again, as if intending to keep all these words in her mind.

In fact, she didn’t mean to force Long Tianyu to make a choice between her and the Emperor by emptying Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Instead, she was actually trying to protect those she loved.

She decided to make everyone think that she did this out of wilfulness. At least in this way, Long Tianyu would not get implicated in this and could leave a good impression on the public instead.

Nevertheless, she could no longer let the Emperor think that he still held immeasurable power in his hands.

While water could carry a boat, it could also overturn it. Without the support of his subjects, the Emperor was just a joke.

Fortunately, Prince Yu’s Mansion was not very far away from Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion.

But when she arrived at her home, she saw a desolate scene in front of her.

“Baizhi, go to call at the door,” Lin Mengya said with a frown.

After what had happened to her family, the servants should be more cautious. Why did they just leave the gate open? It was quite inappropriate.

Baizhi immediately accepted the order. But before she entered the yard, she saw two manservants carrying things out.

Baizhi was so sharp-eyed that she could tell at a glance that the brown chest should belong to Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion, so she immediately blocked the two manservants’ way and asked with a hard look, “Who are you? How can you move the belongings of the mansion without permission?”

“Get out of the way! We’re the members of Marquis’s Mansion! The Marquis instructed us to carry it out. If we fail to finish work in time, you’ll be in trouble!”

The manservants spoke aggressively, not taking Baizhi, the young lady in front of them, seriously at all.

However, Baizhi was no longer the cowardly lass who she had been.

She placed her hands on her hips, raised her chin, still stood in front of them, and said, “The Marquis? The Lin’s Mansion is Marquis Zhennan’s Mansion. Why haven’t I heard of another Marquis? In my opinion, you are robbers fishing in troubled water. Guards, come and arrest them!”

Seeing that Baizhi had changed greatly, Lin Mengya, who was standing not far away, felt a little relieved.

In this case, at least Baizhi would not suffer losses when she was not around.

Motioning for the guards on both sides not to act rashly, Lin Mengya walked up to Baizhi and stood behind her, and then patted her on the shoulder as a hint for her to step back.

“Which mansion are you from? Guards, go to inform the governor of the Capital City that our mansion has been robbed, and ask him to seize them personally,” Lin Mengya said in a crisp voice, exuding prestige that couldn’t be neglected.

When the two manservants saw Lin Mengya behind Baizhi, their faces changed.

No matter how stupid they were, they could still tell that the young Madam in front of them was not only indescribably beautiful but also noble and elegant. Moreover, judging from the way she talked to them, she seemed to have a close relationship with this mansion.

They immediately put down the chest. Just as they were about to say something, a series of crying came from inside.

“Help! Help! Save my daughter! Please, let her go! She is still a child! First… First Miss! Please save Lian’er!”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked inside, only to see a familiar person running towards her from the inner courtyard and crying.

“What’s going on? Go and check it out!”

The guards following Lin Mengya immediately ran inside. Mrs. Song, who finally found a savior, collapsed beside Lin Mengya and spoke tearfully.

“First Miss, they are inhuman! My daughter Lian’er is still young, but they… they intend to hurt her! First Miss, please uphold justice for me!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengya got furious.

The last thing she could bear was to see women being abused, not to mention to see a maid being abused at her home.

She said, “Guards, surround the mansion and check around it. If what Mrs. Song said is true, kill them on the spot!”

The two manservants were so frightened that their legs went weak.

No matter how stupid they were, now they knew that the Madam standing in front of them turned out to be the legendary Princess Yu. It was said that she was not someone to be trifled with, and they had heard from plenty of people that Prince Yu had not had any vice Princesses nor concubines so far because she was really vicious.

Judging from what she had said, they found that she was extremely ruthless as they expected.

“Please spare our lives, Your Highness! It… it’s our fault for failing to recognize you. Please spare our lives, Your Highness!”

Glancing at the two losers who were trembling terribly, Lin Mengya gave a cold snort and led her entourage into the parlor.

She had figured out for whom they worked.

In the Capital City, no one other than Marquis Weiyuan from the Shangguan Family dared to send some people to act absurdly in Lin’s Mansion.

After leading her entourage to the parlor, she found seven or eight badly battered guys who were tightly bound kneeling there.

Meanwhile, all the servants of the Lin Family were staring at the guards, who suddenly appeared, with a frightened and uneasy look.

Since the day the Eldest Young Master was taken away, the mansion had been turned upside down by the Second Miss and Madam Qing.

Today, some people swaggered into the mansion to take things and some of them away, but they could only control themselves and suppress their indignation.

At the sight of Lin Mengya, everyone showed a relieved look. Unexpectedly, the First Miss returned home at this time.

They no longer had to be bullied!

“Where do you come from? Who sent you here? What are you doing here?” Lin Mengya asked with her eyes blazing with anger. No one dared to look her in the eye.

After looking around, she finally fixed her eyes on a disheveled man.

With a murderous look in her eyes, she thought if she had not arrived in time today, there would have been one more poor girl getting hurt.

“Humph, we’re from Marquis Weiyuan’s Mansion. Our Second Miss is the Madam of this mansion. We’re sent by her to come here to fetch her private belongings. Although you’re the First Miss, you’re no longer a member of the mansion. As such, you don’t have the right to tell us what we should do.”

No wonder he dared to abuse the girl openly. Looking at the disheveled guy, Lin Mengya suddenly sneered.

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and said decisively, “How dare you! As a bunch of bandits, how dare you pretend to be the servants of Marquis Weiyuan’s Mansion? It’s impossible for the righteous Marquis Weiyuan to send some servants, who act like bandits, here. Guards, cut off his tongue, send them to the governor, and tell him that they’re bandits who came to rob Lin’s Mansion when the Eldest Young Master is absent. Remember to report what they have done to the governor one by one!”

In fact, these people were sent by Shangguan Qing to take revenge on the members of Lin’s Mansion. But if she didn’t discover it, it would probably be a secret.

Unfortunately, she came back at the right time. She decided to make it known to everyone in the Capital City, and would like to see how disgraced the Shangguan Family would be!

After Lin Mengya took a drastic move to deal with those who came to make trouble, the servants of the Lin Family immediately knelt down in front of her and tearfully complained their grievances in the past few days.

“I know you had a hard time, but from today on, everyone should cheer up. My father and I won’t allow the Lin Family to collapse.”

In fact, the Emperor didn’t mean to wipe out the Lin Family. It could be seen from the fact that he had only issued an order to deprive her of her position as Princess Yu.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Qing probably hated Lin’s Mansion to the core. Otherwise, she would not have resorted to such a wicked move.

This time, the Shangguan Family would definitely make an issue of her brother’s being accused of treason to make her father resign from his position as the general. Besides, they would probably come up with another way to wipe out the Lin Family.

Therefore, she returned home to get ready to deal with the Shangguan Family’s accusations.

“First Miss, it’s good to have you back. Now we have the mainstay. It’s just that the Eldest Young Master is wronged. But no one will listen to us, who are just the servants of Lin’s Mansion,” the old butler said.

He was appointed by Lin Mengya’s brother after Lin Mengya’s brother came back this time.

Although he was over 60 years old, he did a good job in managing the mansion and was loyal to the Lin Family. Therefore, he had won the hearts of the servants of the Lin Family.

This time, if it weren’t for his resistance, the mansion would probably have suffered greater losses.

However, in order to protect the poor girl, he was violently pushed away by that guy and unfortunately sprained his waist, so now he could barely move with the help of several people.

Hearing the old butler’s words, Lin Mengya realized that there must be something behind what had happened to her brother.

“Sir, please come with me. The rest of you can go back for a rest. I still need you to handle various affairs in the mansion.”

The butler was named Lin Si, and everyone in the mansion called him sir respectfully.

Lin Si understood what the First Miss meant. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still gritted his teeth and followed the First Miss into Master’s study.
