guan Qing and Lin Mengwu would behave themselves and stay in their yard.

It would be easy for her to confirm it by then.

After a sound sleep, Lin Mengya started to search the medical books again.

She didn’t find them in her own room or her father’s.
So she decided to search the yard of Lin Nansheng.


She spent the whole morning, yet still failed to find anything.

She didn’t want to eat anything at the table.
She stared at the rice in a daze.

“Princess, Mrs.
Lin and Miss Lin are here.”

Huan’er walked in lightly and saluted Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya knew the two women had lost their patience.

Her disappointment was gone and she said, “Come in, please.
It’s cold outside.
My sister is too weak to bear a cold.
If she catches one, that would be my fault.”

Huan’er immediately informed the two.
Seconds later, the mother and daughter came in, fake smiles all over their faces.

Lin Mengya stood up and greeted them.

She was the prince’s wife, which made her status higher than Shangguan Qing’s.
However, being at home at this moment, she had to be careful, or other people might think she was arrogant and disrespectful.

They two seemed to have learned their lesson and stopped holding their heads high.

Lin Mengwu took a few steps forward and saluted Lin Mengya with a sorry face.

“Please forgive me for not having greeted you yesterday.
Please don’t be mad at me.”

Her voice was so sweet and her face so sorry.
If Lin Mengya didn’t know what a double-dealer Lin Mengwu was, she might think the woman had made a clean break from her old errors.

Lin Mengwu was apologizing, but the resentment leaking out of her eyes had been captured by Lin Mengya.

It seemed that what happened a while ago had really made the dull girl smarter.

“You don’t have to.
Your health is the most important thing of all.
The family needs you to take care of our mother.
Why do you look so pale? Baizhi, give her some of my daily tonics.
Those nourishing pills work best for women.”

Baizhi went back to her room and took out a small and delicate box.
She gave it to Huan’er.
Lin Mengwu envied Lin Mengya for having such exquisite things, but on her face, she looked so grateful.


Shangguan Qing looked exactly like a real kind mother, watching the hypocritical sisters gladly.

“Well, don’t just stand there.
Ya’er, I heard that you were looking for something in your father’s study as soon as you were back.
May I know what you’re looking for? I feel so sorry for having been such an irresponsible mom.
I want to help you now to make it up for you.
If you’d like to keep it a secret, then please forget I asked.”

“Here we go,” Lin Mengya thought to herself, but she didn’t react much.

“It’s just some of my mother’s legacy.
It has been years since she passed away and I feel like the worst daughter in the world.
I didn’t even visit her tomb on her deathday and I haven’t served her as a nice daughter when she was alive.
I’d been living such a muddled life before, and I don’t even know how to manage my own life.
Now is the time for me to bring peace to her soul by building a cenotaph for her in the mansion.”

Her words were half-genuine and half-sham.
She was indeed looking for her mother’s things.

And Shangguan Qing must have heard about it.

Shangguan Qing pretended to be surprised as if she didn’t know.
She wiped the corner of her eye with a handkerchief and showed a joyful smile.

“You’re right.
Your mother saved you at the cost of her own life.
Her soul would be delighted if you built a cenotaph in her name.
I still have some of her stuff in my place.
I’ll have someone send them to you later.”

Lin Mengya acted very joyfully.

“Thank you for understanding me.
I didn’t tell you about this because I thought you wouldn’t agree with it.
Your words now really helped me a lot.”

Lin Mengya spoke gratefully, but inside, she was warning herself.

She had a bad feeling about this peace offering of Shangguan Qing’s.

The woman even initiated to return her mother’s legacy.
That made Lin Mengya even more suspicious.
She should be careful because the two might be setting her up.

“Well, we’ll leave you alone.
You can keep on with your work.”

The two had finished putting on the show.
They stood up and were about to leave.

Lin Mengya walked them to the door.
After the two left, her smile gradually faded.

She didn’t smell any blood on Lin Mengwu, but the abortion medicine was still with her.

She had a quite sensitive nose, and she seldom smelled something wrong.
