The fellow quickly led them to the box on the second floor, there was still a floor above it, but Lin Menya estimated that it must belong to the legendary VIP room.
They were just coming over for a fresh meal anyway, so naturally they weren't that particular about it.
Finding a window seat, the three of them sat down, and the fellow immediately sent up a pot of fragrant tea and respectfully retreated.
"Little sister, you might as well say what you have to say."
Gong Si would rarely be so open and honest, but today, he was afraid that if he continued to beat around the bush like this, sooner or later the Gong family would become torn apart.
Lin Mengya didn't say anything either, her eyes looked over Gong Si and Gong Bin, and she opened her mouth blandly.
"That woman, is my sister in Jin. Her name is Lin Mengmai, and she is my halfsister."
Of course, it was impossible for her to declare the Lin family's family scandal in such a way.
But
"None of this is a coincidence, just after we arrived, An Zichen knew that something had happened to the An family, and then disappeared. Then, An Ruchu arrived at our house, bringing news of the An family's internal turmoil. Finally, Lin Mengdao made an appearance and 'revealed' my identity. If An Zichen hadn't disappeared and the An family hadn't been in civil unrest, my background wouldn't have been greatly compromised, and Lin Mengdao wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation at all. There's also that secret vault that managed to appear here, I'm afraid that from the moment I set foot here, the conspiracies against me have never stopped."In fact, she had more guesses, except that it would be futile to say them now.Lin Mengmai was clearly wellprepared to come to the door.If he hadn't been able to come for Wei Guo himself, Lin Mengmai could have almost faked it.She couldn't help but shiver in agitation, how many people knew what she was
"How many came?"She knew that there was absolutely no way that the Rong family would let Chu Feng go so easily, after all, he belonged to the Rong family's business secrets.But in that case, why did they still release Chu Feng?Looks like she had a bit of a windfall today."There's about two dozen of them coming, you guys go ahead and I'll handle it from here."Bai Su knew that the master and the fourth prince, were absolutely not allowed to show their faces.Otherwise, it would expose the Gong family's conflict with the Rong family early."Okay, we'll go first. Don't get attached to the battle, find a chance so you can get away."Lin Mengya said, but her hand took out a few packets of medicinal powder from the tip of her sleeve and secretly slipped them to Bai Su.Regardless of the martial arts skills of the people coming, at least if Bai Su wanted to run, no one could stop her.Gong Si helped Chu Feng up, and Lin Mengya
“Blood pressure, normal.”“Heart rate, normal.”“All vitals are within experiment parameters. We can begin now.”On the cold platform, Su Qingge, wearing a dark green medical gown, lay calmly inside the experimental apparatus. Even without makeup, she was pretty and delicate. In the nervous crowd, only her eyes were calm.“Qingge, have you really thought this through?” the dean asked. He was a bit over fifty. It was odd to see him looking so concerned. He was usually so serious and expressionless.Afterall, the one lying there about to be the test subject was one of his greatest students. “Sir, I am fully aware of what I have decided to do,” Su Qingge told her teacher. “You and I are the only ones who understand the procedure well enough to participate. Your wife and Langlang cannot afford to lose you. I am the only viable test subject.”She glanced around at her fellow students, but most of them wouldn’t look her in the eyes.
The actual transfer was only one and a half minutes, but it felt so much longer. “Twenty seconds.”Her head felt like it would explode. Through the glass wall, she could see the researchers watching her in white coats.She forced herself to endure the pain, but she was beginning to slip in and out of consciousness.“Thirty seconds.”The rest of her body exploded with pain. She wondered if her internal organs had begun to burst under the pressure.At thirty eight seconds, she could no longer bear it.Before she lost consciousness completely, Su Qingge saw her teacher’s face, not far away, filled with concern.The vibration had been too much for a fragile human body. Even a few seconds was enough to destroy her.She managed one last thought before the darkness took her.‘I cannot accept this.’Her senses were muddled, but she could feel a deep ache that went right down to her bones.Wasn’t she dead?
Thinking of the missing bride, Su Qingge began to recall somebody else’s memories. They played through her mind like a movie.This was not another country. It was not even another time. It was somewhere else in space and time – Jin State.This was not the body of Su Qingge, but of Lin Mengya, daughter of Marquis Zhennan.Lin Mengya had been born to rank and doted upon, but she suffered from brain damage. Unexpectedly, she’d still been arranged to marry Prince Yu, the third crown prince of this land.Today she was meant to marry into the family of Prince Yu.Her silky red veil was embroidered with a singing golden phoenix, each stitch done by hand. It was nothing like the rough fabric made by modern machines.Su Qingge could not decide if she was lucky.She had died in that experiment, but she had been allowed to live again.She closed her eyes, rubbing her brows as another memory came to the surface.Before getting into the chair
Usually a girl like Lin Mengya would not have been arranged to wed a prince. There had to be some sort of plot behind it.It was also strange that her younger sister, child of a concubine, acted like her elder sister’s superior. She must have worked hard to acquire and blend so many types of poison. Why was she so desperate to kill her own sister?This was far more exciting than watching some drama on TV.Lin Mengya found herself grinning. And here she’d been worried life in ancient times would be boring.Well, she would play her role in this drama.After her silent ride, it surprised her when a voice pierced the curtains.“Stop the sedan! Open the door!”The sedan was set down carefully.Lin Mengya assumed they’d reached Prince Yu’s mansion. Next would be the ceremony to welcome the bride. A door opened and she could see a pair of feet in expensive shoes walk towards her.According to tradition, the bride could not walk o
Long Tianyu watched the farce in front of him unfold, eyes cold.He hadn’t even planned to show up at the wedding, but the man he’d sent out said Lin Mengya was dead in the sedan chair.He’d shown up dressed for a wedding so he could ask the queen why she’d sent him a dead girl to marry.Now he saw this.Everyone gasped, far more surprised by his arrival than they had been by the dead bride. The ministers in attendance watched him with wide eyes, not seeming to believe it was really the Prince Yu they knew.Everyone knew Prince Yu kept a distance from women and he was a proud man. No one thought he’d come, but…Hearing her speak again, the matchmaker’s twisted face grew pale. Her whole body was shivering.If Lin Mengya was not gripping her hands, she would have collapsed to the floor. Lin Mengya was alive. Treating a princess like this would cost her life.Lin Mengya threw the woman’s hands off her disdainfully so she could look around
It was strangely quiet for a moment. The only sound was the continued ringing of the drums.The atmosphere started to feel more aggressive.Lin Mengya felt lucky she wore the red veil over her face, or she wasn’t sure if she could have handled all the eyes on her.She could see how sharply they watched, but she couldn’t find a hint of explanation in any of them.Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya sitting calmly in the sedan chair. He thought of her behaviors just now.Was this really the girl he’d heard about? She seemed calm and clever.More than that, his man reported that he saw her spit blood and die after eating some dates. How could she still be sitting here alive?His man had been a secret guard for years. He never made mistakes. There was only one reason that she could have survived the poisoning.It was silent for a long time, and Lin Mengya was becoming impatient.Then she saw the red clothing approach. She’d been so calm
