Chapter 369 The Hero Saving A Beauty

“Became mentally disabled due to being frightened?” Lin Mengya found that highly suspicious.

Kids were often mentally weak, and they might have some adverse reaction to intense stimuli.

It was possible that might be the cause of becoming mentally unstable.

She wondered what it was that had scared a little girl that badly.

“Ms. Tian, do you know what actually happened?”

Lin Mengya whispered her question. Ms. Tian looked at her and opened her mouth, but soon she closed it. Apparently, she had some concerns.

“It’s okay if you don’t know about it.”

Lin Mengya did not want to put Ms. Tian in a difficult position, because she had already gotten the poor old woman involved in trouble. Therefore, she stopped asking when she found that Ms. Tian did not want to tell her.

“I’m too old to be afraid of anything. I was told by the other servants that you were scared by the ghost of Mrs. Lin. You were so sick that I did not have time to ask them for more details. That was why I am still not so sure about what had happened that night.”

It took Lin Mengya less than one second to rule out that possibility.

These people were obviously lying. Why would a mother show herself and scare the daughter she gave birth to, at the cost of her own life?

Someone was lying to hide what Lin Mengya had been through that night.

At that time, her father was away at the border defending the state, and her brother was too young. Without their protection, the truth had been regretfully buried by someone who did not want it to be discovered.

However, Lin Mengya could tell there was something wrong about it.

Ms. Tian could not spend all her time with Lin Mengya, because she had to take care of the other two children. She would never let little Lin Mengya wander out into the yard at midnight if she was on duty.

Why did the ghost show up right at the time when Ms. Tian was off? It had been decades, but Lin Mengya could still feel the conspiracy behind it.

“Do you remember how I looked like when you took me back? Anything weird?”

Ms. Tian was getting old lately, but she was not senile at all. She could still recall the details of that day.

She could remember it so clearly, mainly because she was also terrified.

“I remember you were taken out of the pond by someone. I asked all the servants who it was, but none of them seemed to know. I can still recall seeing your blue lips and fingers. At first I thought it was because you were frozen, but apparently that blue color had been there for half a month already. I asked the doctor about it, but he said you would be fine, so I did not ask him anymore.”

Ms. Tian looked guilty.

She thought she should have been more careful on that day, so that nothing would happen to Lin Mengya. The girl would not have suffered so much then.

“It’s not your fault. My brother and I could have been killed by Shangguan Qing, if you had not been there. Right, did my mother tell you anything before she passed away?”

Lin Mengya’s mother was known to be beautiful and smart.

A woman like her would definitely have plans for her kids.

Ms. Tian was one of the guardians she found for Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng. And if she had any secret medical books, she must have preserved them in a very subtle way.

Ms. Tian did her best, but there was nothing important from Mrs. Lin that she could recall.

“She only asked me to take care of you and the young master. There’s nothing else I can remember. Ya’er, are you looking for something?”

Lin Mengya shook her head. She felt a little upset.

Maybe Qiu Yu was just making a guess. That idea just would not work.

The medical classics were just her wishful thinking.

She had gone back to the mansion hastily, but failed to find the book. She had even fallen into someone else’s trap. Now she felt like a sheep taken to a wolf’s den.

The carriage wobbled and passed through two streets before it came to a stop.

Lin Mengya lifted the curtain and saw the carriage was surrounded by those royal guards.

The sunlight was blinding outside. She saw a man dressed in green and black, standing upright, in front of the carriage.

“Give her to me.”

His voice was as mellow as old wine.

The handsome face exuded an intimidating pressure.

Lin Mengya cracked a smile when she saw the figure.

Her beautiful face lit up like a glorious sunset, and her smile was only for that man.

“I’m here to bring you home.”

He looked at her. Then the grim look on his face eased a little.

His smile felt like the warm spring air that could melt the ice floating in rivers, expelling the severe winter.

They looked at each other as if there was no one else around, even those obstructing guards did not exist.

“OK.”

She replied confidently.

She knew that whatever Long Tianyu promised, he would do it.

Baili Wuchen felt so envious. He wished he could burn a hole on Long Tianyu, by his intense glare.

Long Tianyu and him had been through fire and water, but that woman ruined their friendship so easily. Moreover, the woman wanted to interfere with military affairs by playing smart tricks, which made him hate her even more.

The woman was why Long Tianyu had become so weak.

She was why Long Tianyu became so impulsive and behaved like a boor.

“Prince Yu, long time no see! You’re going against the royal army because of a woman. Is that really worth it?”

He sounded cold and insane.

Long Tianyu was looking at Baili Wuchen as if he was a stranger.

“Give her to me, and you can go.”

The powerful pressure exuded by him terrified those royal guards.

Those guards had just met General Lin Nansheng, who was dominant in the battlefield. Now they were faced with Prince Yu, who was highly respected in the royal court.

They had seen the bravest and most excellent young man of Dajin.

They feared Lin Nansheng, but they knew they still stood a chance in front of him; now that Princess Yu was here, their last hopes were gone.

“Don’t even think about it, Prince Yu. They are our crucial witnesses. If you take them, you’ll be held for being a rebel”

Baili Wuchen said that, with his teeth clenched. His pale face turned red because he was losing his cool.

He had been trying to save Prince Yu’s back, but now he had dropped the idea forever.

He decided that they would be opponents from now on.

“Rebellion?”

Long Tianyu thought that it was funny to hear that word coming out of Baili Wuchen’s mouth.

He took out something and showed it to Baili Wuchen.

“This is the tiger token of my father. He used it to command the royal guards. As your highest commander, I order you to release the carriage. Those who do not do so, will be punished by military law!”

It had never occurred to him that the Tiger Token, which belonged to His Majesty, was now in Long Tianyu’s hand.

Those ordinary guards looked at each other, silently.

Baili Wuchen sneered, and he hated Long Tianyu even more.

The leaders of the royal guards were all the Crown Prince’s people. Those ordinary guards would be replaced by another batch every few years.

Without the Tiger Token, these people would only listen to the Crown Prince. Now that the Tiger Token was in Long Tianyu’s hand, they would only listen to him. The token was the only thing they would follow now.

What made Baili Wuchen even more angry was that Long Tianyu had never told him about the Tiger Token, although they had been with each other for that many years.

He felt so aggrieved. At first he felt something sweet in his throat, then blood came out of his mouth.

“You’ve never trusted me!”

Baili Wuchen’s eyes were wide open. He looked like a violent beast, who wanted to tear Long Tianyu into pieces.

However, Long Tianyu did not even look at him. He walked past Baili Wuchen and did not even bother to give him a look.

He walked to Lin Mengya and held his hand out to her. His smile made everything next to him fade.

“I’m here to bring you home.”

Long Mengya put her slender, fair hand in his.

She walked out of the carriage, her eyes fixed firmly on Long Tianyu.

“Okay, let’s go home.”

Ms. Tian was laughing at Lin Mengya in the carriage and she blushed.

The horse was going at a fast pace. This time, the carriage was not heading to the prison of the royal court; it was headed for the Lins.

“Your mother would be proud of you if she knew about this. The prince is so handsome and so kind to you. May your mother’s soul rest in peace?”

The “mother-in-law” would have loved her “son-in-law” so much.”

Lin Mengya realized that, too. Ms. Tian had been praising Long Tianyu ever since he saved Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya used to be a very calm and collected woman, but her face had blushed. She had no other options, but to listen to Ms. Tian.

“Ya’er, congratulations.”

Tian Ning was smiling. Lin Mengya was a cute girl when they first met. Now the girl had matured and married to someone, and looked more charming than before.

The only thing remained unchanged in her was her trust in Ms. Tian and Tianning.
