Chapter 209 Fried Chicken and Beer

Lin Mengya opened the envelope, took look inside then put it into her sleeve.

“It’s nothing. Yunzhu sent this to tell me that I need to attend to some matters at the Sanjue Hall. Xiaoyu, carry all our shopping into the little courtyard with the three girls. I have something to discuss with Qinghu.”

Xiaoyu was a little suspicious, but he obediently went downstairs with the other three.

“Now, can you take it out?”

The others might not have an idea, but Qinghu knew that the item Lin Mengya received had something to do with Xiaoyu.

Lin Mengya made sure that Xiaoyu was completely out of sight before she took out the envelop from her sleeve.

There was no letter in the envelope. However, there was a beautiful stalk of Rosa Multiflora.

Apart from that stalk of flower, there was also an arrowhead with three edges in the envelope.

“What, what’s this?”

The moment Lin Mengya and Qinghu saw the stalk of Rosa Multiflora, they knew who it was from.

However, it was the first time, even for Qinghu, to see the arrowhead with three edges.

Lin Mengya’s facial expression turned hideous.

“This is Flying Locust Arrow from the Lin Family. Look, the word ‘Lin’ is engraved on the arrowhead.”

Xin Li was the person who sent this.

His intention was clear as day. If Xiaoyu were to strike, the Lin Family would be the first to bear the brunt.

He was well aware that Lin Mengya was surrounded by many skillful martial artists.

Honestly, it would take a lot to inflict harm upon her.

Therefore, he had threatened her with her father’s and brother’s safety.

This man was indeed despicable. At the same time, Xin Li had seen through her weakness such that she was unable to make any move.

“There are so many soldiers in the army, I’m sure he would have to consider carefully before making any moves. Don’t you be overly worried.”

Qinghu’s analysis sounded logical.

However, this arrowhead was meant as a threat more than anything.

“He is a foreigner after all, how does he know this matter regarding Xiaoyu and me like the back of his hand?”

The prince’s mansion had turned into a fortified mansion after Lin Mengya’s reorganization.

It was nearly impossible to enter the prince’s mansion, not to mention infiltrating into her courtyard to find out any information.

Lin Mengya remained perplexed after much pondering.

“I believe he had come all the way to Dajin not just to stop Lin Zhongyu. Don’t forget he is backed by the entire Xin Family.”

Qinghu’s words added to Lin Mengya’s suspicion.

If Xiaoyu were truly the descendent of the Xin Family, there would definitely be an opposing force within the Xin Family, that would go against Xin Li.

If the entire Xin Family stood by Xin Li, who was the one who protected Xiaoyu?

At this moment, Lin Mengya felt that it was necessary for her to meet up and negotiate with the forces behind him.

“I have a feeling that I’ve been drawn into some serious maelstrom.”

Lin Mengya said softly with half-closed eyes.

“You’re not just any common person, which is why, naturally, extraordinary things happened to you.”

Qinghu tapped his finger lightly on Lin Mengya’s forehead, but there was a look of pain in his eyes.

The harder his lass worked, the deeper she would be involved.

However, she had to take everything seriously since all that had happened concerned someone’s life and death.

“Once this matter comes to a closure, let’s go for a holiday to enjoy ourselves.”

Lin Mengya’s words left Qinghu in a daze.

“That’s a good idea. I will accompany you wherever you want to go.”

A brilliant smile broke out on Qinghu’s face. He seemed to look forward to it more than Lin Mengya given his excited expression.

Her body... Lin Mengya looked at the teacup in her hand with glum.

The others might not know, but she was fully aware of the condition of her own body.

Ever since Elder Sister Yue Ting passed away, Lin Mengya had suffered a broken heart. The poison in her body which had been suppressed seemed to start working again.

If not for the various precious herbs and medicine she took every month, she would not have survived.

Searching for the last few necessary herbs was imperative.

Her befuddled condition, which happened every day, was a clear indication that she was not well.

If she did not start looking for the last few components of the antidote, she might one day not wake up from her sleep.

She had so many unfinished businesses, so many people who needed her protection. She must not collapse.

Lin Mengya dozed off in a matter of minutes.

The smile in Qinghu’s eyes faded and was replaced by a look of worry.

He carried the lass up from her chair. Even the sound of a fallen cup had not waked her.

The lass had obviously fallen into a deep sleep.

By this time, the four maidservants had settled down in the horse carriage.

An anxious expression broke out on their faces the moment Qinghu carried Lin Mengya in.

“Has she fallen asleep? This was the nth time in this month that this had happened.”

Lin Zhongyu furrowed his brows as he turned his eyes on his elder sister.

“Just make sure you settle your own affairs so that your elder sister did not have to worry over you.”

Qinghu warned with a deep voice. He would not show any kindness if the matter concerns the well-being of Lin Mengya.

“My affairs... I’ll settle them on my own!”

Lin Zhongyu did not really understand what Qinghu was saying. He naturally thought that Qinghu was talking about the matter concerning the Willow Gang.

“I will get rid of the Willow Gang naturally. As for the other matters, please leave her out of them.”

Lin Zhongyu was unable to grasp what Qinghu was saying.

What was this all about? Were they keeping something from him?

The group of them arrived back at the prince’s mansion and with the help of her maidservants, Lin Mengya changed her clothes and was soon laying comfortably in the blanket.

It was only when the sun was about to set that Lin Mengya began to wake up slowly.

However, none of her maidservants were there to serve her when she woke up.

This was strange. Usually they would be guarding her even if it were the middle of the night.

Suddenly, a burst of joyous laughter echoed.

Lin Mengya put on a thick coat and quietly lifted the curtain over the door of the room. A wisp of crystal clear snowflakes entered the room with the cold wind.

Outside, the courtyard had turned into a snow covered world.

“It’s snowing.”

She opened her eyes wide with curiosity. As someone whose hometown was from the south, the memory of her encounters with snowfall was limited and precious.

Tightly wrapped up in her coat, she stood quietly at the door and took in the beautiful snow-covered world.

Lin Mengya’s three maidservants and Xiaoyu, together with the other servants in the courtyard were having a good time playing in the snow.

Lin Mengya had the urge to go out into the courtyard to join them, but was deterred by the frigid wind.

“Are you so ignorant as not to put on more layers when you want to play in the snow?”

All of a sudden, a large coat which was still warm from Qinghu’s body, fell onto Lin Mengya’s shoulders.

As she turned around, she realized that Qinghu was clad in one layer of clothes.

Qinghu’s light blue coat smelt like the usual fragrance on his body.

“Are you not afraid of catching a cold since you’re wearing so little?”

Qinghu reached out his hand to help Lin Mengya button up the coat.

There was an expression of contempt on his face.

“People like us, who train in martial arts, must not be afraid of cold. If you don’t believe me, come and feel how warm my body is.”

He grabbed on to Lin Mengya’s hand and shoved it into his clothes and placed it on his chest.

“Yeah, your body is indeed warm.”

Lin Mengya thought Qinghu was merely kidding, but his body was indeed very warm.

“That’s for sure.”

Lin Mengya’s hand was getting cold.

Holding on to her small hands, Qinghu furrowed his brows.

Although he did not have much medical knowledge, he knew that it was not normal for a person’s hand to be this cold.

He was alarmed to realize how weak and frail Lin Mengya was.

“Master! Master, you’re awake! You should stay in the house to rest!”

Baizhi, whose face was flushed from all the running around in the snow, skipped towards Lin Mengya like a rabbit.

“You guys can play in the snow, am I not allowed to even watch?”

Lin Mengya pouted and tried to act coil.

Baizhi scratched her head, hesitated and said, “Alright, but promise me that you will just sit down here while you watch. You are not to tire yourself out.”

“What a bossy stewardess. Alright, alright, I will sit right here and watch. This is after all the first snow of the year. It’d be so nice if we have fried chicken and beer!”

Qinghu’s eyes lit up when he heard what Lin Mengya muttered under her breath.

Little lass had not had any appetite lately. Although Qinghu had no idea what fried chicken and beer were, he thought they sounded delectable.

“How do you make that fried chicken and beer you were muttering about, lass?”

Qinghu’s mouth seemed to be watering and this excited Lin Mengya.

Anyway those four maidservants of hers would surely not allow her to play in the snow; she could make some fried chicken.

“Let’s go to the kitchen then. I’ll make them for you to try.”

Having been here for quite some time, he had not tasted any food prepared by Lin Mengya.

Immediately, he followed closely behind Lin Mengya as they headed towards the kitchen.

At this moment, Long Tianhao was standing outside the gates, hesitating whether to enter.

A few more days had passed after he returned from the Art courtyard. He was busy with matters regarding his subordinates that he did not have time to meet up with Lin Mengya.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky. He realized that this was the first snow of the year.

It was also the first winter Lin Mengya was spending with him after she married him.

All families in Dajin practiced the tradition of celebrating the first snow of the year.

Although Concubine De had sent men to invite Long Tianhao for a total of three times, he wanted to spend this moment with Lin Mengya.

However, the Liuxin Courtyard where he used to enter and leave casually seemed to be surrounded by fortified walls. He had been outside for quite some time now, but he was still unable to bring himself to step into it.

Night was standing somewhere not far off from Long Tianhao and watching the prince in silence. The prince had been standing still just outside the princess’ courtyard since an hour ago.

By now, he was almost covered with the snow, but he was still standing there in a daze. Night wondered what was on the prince’s mind.

“Creak...” The tightly shut gates of the Liuxin Courtyard was suddenly opened from inside.

Baiji and Baizhi emerged, carrying two bamboo baskets. They were laughing and talking as if they were headed to somewhere to do something.

Seeing that there were people coming out from the courtyard, he was about to inquire about what Lin Mengya was doing.

However, he was totally unaware that he did not look very much different from a snowman.

“That...”

A voice sounded from the heap of snow.

It frightened Baizhi so much that for a moment, she was stunned. Then she started crying out loud.

“Oh no, Master! The snowman came alive!”

Thereafter, she hung on tightly to her basket, grabbed Baiji and retreated into the courtyard.
