Long Tianyu had thought that Lin Mengya found it hard to talk about it because of the incompatible relationship between the Lin family and the Jin family. He volunteered to do so, but it made the smile on Lin Mengya’s face even more hesitant and weird.

“Actually… actually… General Jin is not so stubborn. It’s just a matter of laughing and making up between my father and him. Actually, it’s just that the eldest lady of the Jin family and I have some old grudges…” Lin Mengya smiled awkwardly. She had almost forgotten all about it.

Maybe it was karma.

She had thought that she and the lady of the Jin family would not be in contact with each other anymore. Unexpectedly, now the lady of the Jin family had become the first choice for her brother’s future wife. Was this retribution? Or was it fate?

Anyway, Lin Mengya was thinking angrily, if Miss Jin saw her, would she stab her with a knife?

“What’s wrong with you again?” Long Tianyu had had some experience with the temperament of his wife.

She looked cute and gentle, but she never stopped thinking about how to play pranks on others. He had thought that based on the characters of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, Lin Mengya might have been stimulated on their wedding and suddenly changed. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was just some habits she had developed since childhood. It seemed that his princess still had many secrets g for him to discover.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Well, you know, I was so naive back then, and I didn’t remember anything. It was about ten years ago. Originally, she and Yue Ting were both the daughter-in-law candidates of my father’s choice. At the mansion that day, Yue Ting and Xiao Xueyin behaved very well, but… Miss Jin had a little accident.”

Lin Mengya tried her best to play it down.

But Long Tianyu didn’t believe her. Looking at her evasive eyes, he was afraid it was definitely not as simple as she said.

“If you don’t tell the truth, how can I help you?” Long Tianyu deliberately put on a look of embarrassment. Lin Mengya could only sigh secretly, lowered her head, and said in a frustrated manner.

“It’s nothing. I just accidentally dropped a firework on Miss Jin. Then I accidentally pushed her into the small pond and she almost drowned…” Her voice was getting lower.

The more Long Tianyu listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it.

“You mean, you dropped a firework on Miss Jin? Then why did you push her into the pond again?” Long Tianyu acted more like a patriarch who was forcing the kid who had done something wrong to tell the crime process.

Lin Mengya glanced at Long Tianyu with embarrassment, and then replied in a low voice, “The fireworks burned her clothes. I pushed her into the pond to save her life. But she almost drowned…” It was the first time Long Tianyu had heard such explosive news. He suddenly remembered that it seemed that Miss Jin had never left home since she was ten years old.

Could it be because of her? No wonder she didn’t dare to go to Jin’s family to propose marriage. He could imagine that if an ordinary woman made such a big scene on a formal occasion where many seniors were present, she probably wouldn’t have the courage to even step out of her room, let alone get married. He was speechless. She looked aggrieved. It was obvious that Miss Jin was the victim. Why did she look like one?

“You don’t have to feel guilty anymore. I believe it was just an honest mistake. I will pay them a visit in a few days. I believe that General Jin will not blame you. However, Jin family is very fond of this young lady. I think you still have to visit her in person to show respect.”

He patted Lin Mengya on the head with his big palm. Even though she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to obediently nod.

In the final analysis, the incident was her fault. If she blamed others blindly, it would be a bit too much. Anyway, such a thing was ancient history. If Miss Jin didn’t forgive her, then she would sincerely apologize to her, or ask Miss Jin to push her into the water too. In short, Long Tianyu was right. The daughter of Jin family was indeed the best marriage partner.

She didn’t mind being humiliated for the happiness of her brother! She had just promised Long Tianyu to visit the Jin family with him the day before, and Long Tianyu, who knew Lin Mengya very well, scheduled their visit at noon the next day to ensure that his wife would have plenty of time to visit the Jin family with him. Lin Mengya looked at the servants put some valuable gifts into the carriage one by one, dumbfounded

In the end, Hongyu and the other girls put their newly dressed master into the carriage as they snickered. Lin Mengya couldn’t even get angry, because it was caused by her after all. Despite Long Tianyu’s noble status, he was willing to condescend to make peace with the Jin family for her brother’s marriage. How could she find fault with such a sacrifice?

It was just—

When she thought of facing the innocent girl dragged down by her in her memory, heavy guilt made Lin Mengya bury her head in her arms. Her evasive gesture was amusing to Long Tianyu, who was riding in the same carriage. His princess, a courageous woman who had stood up to the empress and Crown Prince, was now afraid of the young lady of the Jin family.

Such a difference was surprising to him.

Lin Mengya was the opposite of a bully. Especially she would feel a little at a loss to face a completely innocent person like Miss Jin.

The carriage finally arrived at the Jin family, but after Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu got out of the carriage, they found that the door was locked. Lin Kui knocked on the door, and it was rare that there was no concierge to respond. The couple glanced at each other. Even if the Jin family was not at home, there should be a concierge at the door at least.

Lin Kui knocked hard three more times. The door that was originally closed opened a small gap at this moment.

“Your Highness, this—” Lin Kui turned around to consult Long Tianyu.

The latter thought for a while, but could only nod. They came a little presumptuously, but the Jin family was so abnormal. If they didn’t go in and take a look, they would be really worried.

With the prince’s consent, Lin Kui cautiously opened the gate of Jin family. After confirming that there was no danger inside, he returned to the prince and the princess.

“Your Highness, it’s silent inside and there is no one.”

It was strange. Lin Mengya frowned slightly and looked at the gate of Jin family that was half-open. In fact, the so-called feud between the Jin family and the Lin family was just a result of balancing the relationship in the imperial court or the military power. It was just a balancing tactic of the emperor after all. Besides, the situations of Jin family and Lin family were very similar. From the generation of her grandfather, they had been fierce generals who competed against each other.

Now in the generation of her father and elder brother, they were still in fierce competition. It was just that the Lin family was more powerful now. But with the attention of the Jin family, if the Lin family became too arrogant, the Jin family could immediately replace it. This was the real intention of the emperors of the past dynasties.

But today, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had reached the atrium of the front yard, but they still hadn’t seen anyone. Could it be that the Jin family had moved away and didn’t live here anymore?

“Look, the soil of the flower pots in the yard is still moist. There should still be people living here.”

Long Tianyu and Lin Kui have also noticed the details she noticed. Besides, the front yard was very clean, and it didn’t look like there was no one to take care of it. It was just that it was already very rude to rush into someone’s house like this. If they broke into the backyard and disturbed the female members of the family, it would be utterly inappropriate.

When the two were hesitating, a servant in black cloth suddenly walked out from the corner door on the right. But this man who looked like he was in his forties came out with teary eyes. He was very sad. He was crying while walking. Lin Mengya glanced at Long Tianyu, who immediately sent Lin Kui to come forward and ask.

Finally, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu learned why the front yard of the Jin family was so quiet.

“Your Highness, I’m sorry I didn’t know you were coming. Please forgive me.”

When he saw Lin Kui who suddenly appeared in front of him, the servant thought it was a thief in the house, so he went to catch Lin Kui. But he was no match for Lin Ku. Lin Kui soon overpowered him. Anyway, they explained it clearly. The servant was convinced after seeing the manners of Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu.

With his sad look, Lin Mengya found it hard to blame him. After all, they broke into the house in the first place, and it was not his fault.

“It’s okay. Get up and talk. What happened to your house? No one is guarding it in the yard, and even you are so sad.”

Lin Mengya was dignified and beautiful, and her tone was gentle and peaceful, which immediately calmed the servant. After saluting her, he lowered his head and sobbed, “Thank you, Your Highness. Well, my young master has suffered one calamity after another today. My master is really sad, so he was in no mood to welcome you two.”

The servant’s words surprised Lin Mengya secretly.

“Take your time. What happened? Forget it. Can you take me and the prince over?”

Since something had happened, she and Long Tianyu couldn’t just sit by and watch.

Long Tianyu agreed. Since they ran into it, they should lend a helping hand.
