Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 682 - Sneak Attack

Chapter 682 Sneak Attack

Lin Mengya squatted in front of the baby-faced man and described the extraordinary scenery in her yard.

Her exaggeration made the man show an obsessed look.

Lin Mengya knew that such an innocent silly person would definitely fall into this trap.

As Lin Mengya expected, after hearing her words, the baby-faced man seemed to be carried away, suddenly curled his lip, and glanced at her pitifully.

Since he had taken the bait, it was naturally time for her to trick him into telling her Gou San’s whereabouts.

Lin Mengya suddenly stood up, patted her clothes, and said with regret, “I also know that there are rare beauties in Prince Yu’s Mansion. The beautiful women and beautiful scenery there are impressive enough to enchant you. It’s a pity that you refused to tell me where your Third Brother is. Otherwise, I can beg him to take you to Prince Yu’s Mansion for a tour.”

This sugar-coated bullet blew the baby-faced man’s mind at once.

When Lin Mengya pretended to be leaving, the man immediately reached out to drag the hem of her clothes like a rascal.

“Let go! Otherwise, I’ll break your arm!’ Qinghu shouted coldly, thinking they should have thrown this kind of person into the dungeon and tortured him to get the information they wanted out of him.

But Lin Mengya insisted on treating him in an amicable manner. Anyway, Qinghu considered him quite a nuisance.

As such, his stretched-out hand became Qinghu’s main target.

However, the baby-faced man, who had been a coward a moment ago, fixed his eyes on Lin Mengya.

After a long while, before Qinghu almost ran out of his patience, the man spoke hesitantly in a low voice, “Is what you said true? If I tell you where my Third Brother is, are you really going to take me to Prince Yu’s Mansion for a tour?”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows slightly, as she already knew the man would not be able to resist the temptation.

She nodded seriously. It might be a knotty problem for others, but it was a piece of cake for her.

“Okay, keep your promise! My Third Brother is at my home, but don’t tell anyone that you heard it from me.”

The baby-faced man enjoined them to keep secret with a worried look, for fear of being betrayed by them.

Lin Mengya naturally agreed. If Gou San could really save her brother as her brother had said, he would not be hostile towards them.

“By the way, may I know your name?” Lin Mengya asked.

The baby-faced man stood up and dusted off his clothes.

Lin Mengya, who was in high spirits, found the man in front of her very interesting, so she treated him much more kindly than Qinghu did.

“My name is Meng Ziqi.”

Meng Ziqi spoke with a dejected look. Gou San seemed to be quite intimidating to him.

If she had not happened to be able to provide Meng Ziqi with something he liked, she would have returned empty-handed today.

“Don’t worry, Childe Meng. In fact, we are old acquaintances of your Third Brother. I don’t think he will blame you for taking us to him,” Lin Mengya said.

However, her words failed to relieve Meng Ziqi’s pressure. He led the two of them into the Ziwei Alley and soon arrived at the residence he mentioned.

Lin Mengya somehow felt a little nervous because she had to be cautious when it came to her brother’s life.

“Come in.”

After Meng Ziqi lowered his head and gently knocked on the brown wooden door, the door was opened with a response from inside.

Seeing that Meng Ziqi seemed to have gotten used to the situation, Lin Mengya and Qinghu exchanged glances, hoping that they wouldn’t make this visit in vain.

Walking behind Meng Ziqi, Lin Mengya looked at the mansion in front of her in surprise.

Although the Ziwei Alley couldn’t compare with the areas where officials’ mansions were located, the residences here were fair.

However, the vast courtyard of the Meng Family in front of her was planted with plum trees as thick as an infant’s arm in twos and threes.

As Lin Mengya walked into the courtyard, she saw the courtyard was decorated elegantly and peacefully with upright and tall bamboos.

Different from her residence, there were no pavilions, terraces, towers, carved beams, or painted rafters in front of her.

Instead, she saw several thatched cottages in a simple and ancient style.

If Lin Mengya hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have believed that she had come to a peaceful village.

Soon, the dejection on Meng Ziqi’s face vanished.

He quickly walked into one of the thatched cottages. Lin Mengya and Qinghu did not hesitate to follow him.

But as soon as they arrived at the door, Qinghu, who had always been alert, held Lin Mengya tightly.

“Clang!” Lin Mengya was frightened by a sound in an instant.

When she realized something was wrong, Qinghu had dragged her three steps back with his arm around her waist.

Meanwhile, he had repulsed a long sword, that had almost landed on her neck, with the short sword he had hidden in his sleeve.

Despite Qinghu’s quick response, a wisp of her hair on the temple was cut off by the sharp sword.

Looking at the wisp of hair that had fallen to the ground, Lin Mengya couldn’t help feeling a little scared.

If it were not for Qinghu’s rescue, she would have become a headless ghost now.

“Fourth Sister! What are you doing? They’re here to visit Third Brother. You can’t do that to them!” Meng Ziqi suddenly rushed out of the room and said.

Although he was one-track-minded and looked silly, he was loyal to his friends.

He stood in front of Qinghu and Lin Mengya with one hand on each side and questioned furiously.

“Get out of the way.”

There came a cold and husky voice, which was rare for women.

It was only then that Lin Mengya clearly saw the person behind the sneak attack.

The person was dressed in a set of dark purple clothes different from that kind of graceful and ethereal clothes prevailing among women nowadays.

Instead, her close-fitting clothes made her look poised.

Her facial features were somewhat similar to those of Meng Ziqi, but she exuded a sort of chilly vibe that Meng Ziqi didn’t have.

However, in her eyes, Lin Mengya didn’t find that kind of tactful look in the eyes of the other women she had come into contact with.

At a glance, Lin Mengya could tell that she was a straightforward person who usually showed her emotions on her face.

Her intent to kill Lin Mengya the moment they met made Lin Mengya suddenly realize that Meng Ziqi and his family members might all be misfits in the real world.

She could not help feeling baffled. Wasn’t there any normal member of the Meng Family?

“No! Fourth Sister, you need to think through the consequence. If Third Brother finds out what you’ve done, he’ll kill you!” Meng Ziqi said.

Although Meng Ziqi acted like an innocent fool in front of her, he stuck to his principles in front of his family member.

Seeing that he was so protective of her, Lin Mengya had to admit that her impression of Meng Ziqi improved a little.

However, what happened next wiped out Lin Mengya’s favorable view of Meng Ziqi in an instant.

With an impatient look on her face, Meng Ziqi’s Fourth Sister stretched out the other hand not holding a sword, grabbed Meng Ziqi’s shoulder, and gave him a standard suplex the next second.

“Ouch...”

Meng Ziqi’s heartrending cry disappeared into the grass.

Meng Ziqi didn’t struggle as Lin Mengya expected.

Instead, he lay in the grass, pretending to be dead.

Lin Mengya dared to bet that it was basically impossible for him to be knocked out by such a suplex.

However, he pretended to be a corpse in the grass, motionless.

Gosh, it was unbelievable!

Lin Mengya had no time to complain about this in her heart because Meng Ziqi’s Fourth Sister’s fast sword was approaching them.

With a clang, the two swords collided. Before Lin Mengya could react, Qinghu had pushed her to a safe spot.

In the next instant, Meng Ziqi’s Fourth Sister and Qinghu got involved in a dogfight.

“Miss, we are here for someone rather than for a fight! If you don’t welcome us, we can leave. There’s no need to fight!”

Lin Mengya, who was standing aside, tried to persuade Meng Ziqi’s Fourth Sister to stop fighting.

However, she did not reveal her identity. Firstly, she was not sure if this Gou San, who lived here, was the one she was looking for.

Secondly, every move the woman used seemed to be targeted at Qinghu’s vital part. Perhaps they had gotten involved in something.

The woman kept fighting with Qinghu, showing no intention of answering Lin Mengya.

Just when Qinghu got furious and was about to reveal his actual strength, a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them.

“Stop!”

Hearing this, Qinghu and Meng Ziqi’s Fourth Sister froze.

Then, both of them felt numbness in the part between the thumb and the index finger. In an instant, the Fourth Miss’s long sword fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Qinghu merely furrowed his brows and flashed back to Lin Mengya’s side to stay on guard.

The Fourth Miss was dragged back, but she was still glaring at them.

Lin Mengya subconsciously checked Qinghu’s hand and found that his hand was just pricked by a hidden weapon covered with anaesthetic.

However, Lin Mengya’s favorable impression of this family was wiped out.

With her face darkening, she looked civilly at the two people appearing out of nowhere.

One of the two people was a woman who looked exactly the same as the Fourth Miss. But she was dressed in green clothes with a much milder expression and not as reckless as the Fourth Miss.

Standing behind them was a man dressed in navy blue clothes.

The man looked valiant but exuded a disconsolate vibe.

At this time, Meng Ziqi, who had been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, stood up straight at once.

However, he lowered his head, stood behind the others obediently, and did not dare to say anything, as if he had done something wrong.

“I’m Gou An, please forgive my sister for being rude. May I ask what brought you here?”

The man named Gou An went straight to the point.

Lin Mengya, who could not be bothered to beat around the bush, spoke composedly after sizing him up secretly.
