Chapter 343 A Man and A Woman Who Were Both Embarrassed

Having settled everything, there was nothing more to do. This was her original residence and everything was back to normal, like what it used to be.

Baisu’s room was kept intact, according to her instructions.

Perhaps, subconsciously in everyone’s mind, that silent, loyal girl would come back to them someday

Lin Mengya stood by the table, where Xiaoyu’s piece of calligraphy was, and it was placed carefully on the table.

However, the brush he always used had hardened because it had not been used lately. It was not as soft and pliant as it was before.

Lin Mengya smiled, but she did not want to throw it away.

Though she was used to his absence, she still wanted to see Xiaoyu again, in her mind.

“Master, are you still thinking about Childe Yu? I wonder when he will come back, and if he has enough to eat, and is dressed warmly.”

Baiji walked in with a bowl of dumpling soup. The fragrant smell made Lin Mengya hungry.

“How did you manage to cook this so quickly? Are you all hungry?”

Lin Mengya sat at the table and showed her greedy side, which hungered for delicious food.

Even though those days spent in the palace, were very glamorous, she had missed all the homely flavors.

The simple, white meat balls also seemed extremely tasty, simply because she was home.

“No, I did not have the time. It was brought over from the kitchen. Maybe, the prince told them to cook it for you.”

Baiji’s eyes smiled, and there was obviously some other meaning in her words.

They had been back in the mansion for only less than an hour.

But the kitchen was so caring and had made Master’s favorite dumpling soup. And the filling was also her favorite jujube paste.

Although the prince did not come over instantly, at least, he still cared for her.

“He is so caring. Well, serve everyone here a bowl of it. The stove in the yard has not been used for a while. Please check whether it is as warm as it used to be.”

Lin Mengya acted normally, even the expression in her eyes did not change.

Baiji could not figure it out, but she felt that there was something different with the Master, now that she was back.

A tall elegant figure dressed in a dark blue robe which was embroidered with golden lines and dragons. Long Tianyu stood outside of Liuxin Courtyard, and hesitated for a while. He did not know why, but he had stood there for a quarter of an hour already.

“Your majesty, eh, it’s cold outside. You should go in and have a rest.”

Steward Deng followed the prince, feeling a bit perplexed. This was the mansion. Even if it was the palace, his Master could go in and out, at will

It was strange today that the prince was standing so still, just outside the Liuxin Courtyard.

Those dark, long eyes seemed unexpectedly nervous.

Long Tianyu would never imagine himself to be shy.

Glancing at Steward Deng, he felt shy and angry, as if his inner feelings had been revealed. He would have just left, but he stood there and could not move.

“I should——”

He wanted to find a reason to leave. He did not know that his shyness was caused by the fact that he was close to the one he loved.

But just at the moment, the door of Liuxin Courtyard opened.

A cute little face slipped out of the door and looked around. Baizhi was a bit surprised when she noticed Long Tianyu standing there.

“Your Majesty, why did you not come in? My Master is just about to have dinner. You can join her.”

This natural invitation left Long Tianyu with no reason to refuse.

After a moment’s thought, he went inside involuntarily.

The stove in the yard was working normally, and the coldest season was over. Everything in the world was now in the spring season.

Lin Mengya held a cup of tea which contained jujube and ginger, as she sat at the pavilion, covered with a wool blanket.

Only a few people were left, but she felt that the whole yard was empty, and seemed a lot more silent.

Well, the situation in Capital City was tense enough now. Who would be in the mood to chat anyway?

Long Tianyu calmly walked to the pavilion, but he did not know what to say.

She was sitting at the pavilion and her profile was so beautiful. It was like a painting of a lady which had frozen in time. It would take all the beautiful words in the world to describe how she looked now.

He did not know why, but her watery eyes seemed to have lost a bit of its glamor. Her white fingers subconsciously caressed the teacup in her hand.

The white curtains around blocked out the wind, it did not even ruffle her hair one bit...

It was rare to see her like that. Long Tianyu just looked at her quietly, and even his breath slowed down.

“You’re here. Sit.”

The muffled sound of steps did not stop until it was near.

Through the air, she could smell Long Tianyu’s natural body scent.

Lin Mengya lifted her head and smiled at him. There seemed to be an understanding between them. One did not question and the other did not answer.

“I was saved by a mysterious man. He did not want to reveal who he was, so I know nothing about him. The incident that happened on the thirteenth in Wanliu Embankment, was done by me.”

Lin Mengya voluntarily confessed, as if she knew what Long Tianyu wanted to ask.

Long Tianyu only nodded slightly. But because of this, they seemed to have no topic to talk about.

Facing each other silently, Long Tianyu felt a bit awkward too. Maybe it was because it was so warm in the pavilion, and they felt so cozy and did not want to talk.

“The emperor’s illness——should be caused by poison. I’ll make the antidote as soon as possible. So, I still have to go into the palace once in a while. As for who poisoned him, I would advise you not to make any moves now. “It’s not that simple.”

Lin Mengya’s words were what he wanted to know.

But now, Long Tianyu wanted to know the answer of another question, most.

“You, how are you now?”

She had thought about all kinds of questions that Long Tianyu would ask her. But she had not expected him to ask her about herself.

Lin Mengya subconsciously hid her injured arm behind her back. On the surface, she gave him a soft, gentle smile.

“I... I’m fine.”

Feeling uncomfortable, Lin Mengya felt Long Tianyu was acting strangely today.

“It will be your burden to take care of my father’s health. If you were not here, the truth would not have been uncovered so easily.”

So was he——thanking her?

Lin Mengya felt more and more confused.

As far as she knew, Long Tianyu was not a grateful person.

Of course, she did not mean that Long Tianyu was merciless. It was just that he always kept his words deep down in his heart.

So, what happened today? Long Tianyu’s temperament had changed these days?

“Don’t worry. It’s what I should do.”

After uttering these two polite sentences, both of them fell silent.

They just sat there on their own. It was not only embarrassing, but quite hilarious as well.

“Puff”, finally Lin Mengya could not hold back any longer and laughed aloud. From this moment on, they became close and the atmosphere was peaceful now.

“Why are you so nervous? It’s not like you.”

Lin Mengya gently touched the hair by her ear, but her other hand was still hidden in her sleeve.

Long Tianyu who had sharp eyes, noticed her strange movement, instantly. His big hand caught her wrist right away. When he heard Lin Mengya’s little scream, his eyebrows furrowed instantly.

“Who did this?”

All of a sudden, his peaceful expression was replaced by a grim look.

Lin Mengya’s heart almost missed a beat, because those deep cold eyes were now filled with his concern for her.

“It was due to my carelessness. It was lucky that I only hurt this hand. Otherwise, I would now be in heaven.”

Although Lin Mengya broke down that day, she remembered clearly what had happened.

Long Tianyu held Lin Mengya’s hand carefully, and the medicinal smell on her hand made him feel relieved. That day, when he rushed to the lane, he saw only a dead woman there.

Though he knew Lin Mengya was hurt, now it seemed that she had no other injuries, except for the one on her hand.

He looked at Lin Mengya from head to toe carefully, which made her a little shy. Then Long Tianyu finally stopped worrying.

“I’m sorry.”

Such a sudden sentence surprised Lin Mengya.

Suddenly, Long Tianyu held her tightly in his arms. The strength of his embrace almost embedded her into his body.

“It was not your fault. It was due to my carelessness. Maybe I’m too annoying, so everyone wants to kill me. If we don’t have money in the future, you can sell me off.”

Lin Mengya said this smilingly, but received a tighter hug from Long Tianyu.

Having given up her struggle, Lin Mengya laid in Long Tianyu’s arms. But soon, Long Tianyu released her and placed her on her seat, and she felt flattered.

“I will have someone to heal your injury and there will not be any scarring. Have a good rest now and I’ll come to see you tonight.”

After saying this, Long Tianyu stood up and left Liuxin Courtyard.

Lin Mengya was left alone there and as she saw his departing back, she wondered whether that man was really Long Tianyu.

Long Tianyu walked quickly to his study. The grim look on his face made everyone terrified.

He knew clearly who that woman was. If she had not died, he would have stripped her apart, just for the wound on Lin Mengya’s hand!
