Chapter 892 The Situation in the Capital City
The Empress was extremely ruthless. Lin Mengya had already known why the Empress planned the marriage between Long Tianyu and her.
Their purpose should be the military power of her father.
However, what they didn’t expect was that this trick would bring her soul back to this world again.
Perhaps everything had changed from that moment on.
“Thank you, Nanny Tian. If it weren’t for you, my brother and I wouldn’t have been alive. In a few days, you can go to the Capital City as usual. In Dajin, no one dares to hurt you.”
The Crown Prince was stupid and the Empress was vicious.
The end of the mother and her son was just around the corner.
This time, her return would completely cut off their route of retreat.
As long as she got rid of them successfully, Mrs. Tian and the others could choose the life they wanted without worries.
“It doesn’t matter to us. I know you are going to do great things, so we can’t drag you down. I think this village is very suitable for us. Everyone is used to it, so you don’t have to worry about us.”
Mrs. Tian’s face was full of love, but she could not hide the worry in her heart.
Even she knew what Lin Mengya was going to do was destined to be bloody.
She couldn’t help, but at least she couldn’t be a burden.
However, Mrs. Tian felt a little uneasy in her heart.
“I’m just an ordinary woman, and I have no idea about your great things. But Miss, you must take care of yourself and don’t fall into the same old trap again.”
In Mrs. Tian’s eyes, Lin Mengya was exactly the same as her mother.
Therefore, Mrs. Tian was afraid that Lin Mengya would make the same choice as the princess did one day.
It looked very stupid to sacrifice herself in order to protect others.
But if the person who was threatened was the most important one to her, Lin Mengya’s thoughts might be the same as her mother’s.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do that kind of stupid thing. I won’t compromise easily no matter what happens.”
Lin Mengya patted Mrs. Tian’s hand and comforted her softly.
After the latter nodded hesitantly, Lin Mengya nestled in her wet nurse’s arms and gradually fell asleep.
Although it was already late in the morning, Lin Mengya was still asleep. Everyone in the courtyard did not dare to disturb her no matter what they did.
Even the chubby Moyan only dared to lie in the arms of Aunt Bai, looking at his aunt’s room with his little black eyes.
When Lin Mengya woke up, she saw the whole family standing in the yard and staring at the door of her room.
“Uh... anything... wrong?”
Lin Mengya yawned halfway. She smiled. It was a little awkward.
“Nothing. Nothing. Everybody, just go on.”
Baishao winked at everyone and drove them away at the same time.
Lin Mengya stood at the door, not knowing whether to go outside or inside.
“Okay... all right.
“Maybe everyone was overjoyed since she was back.”
“Miss, the rents and profits of the villages and shops are all here on time during the days you were not here. These are account books. Please have a look.”
Although it was early autumn, it was a sunny day.
Lin Mengya spent days in the dark horse carriage. She was eager to see the warm light of the sun.
She got someone to carry a big chair and lazily leaned against it to play with the lovely Moyan.
“You have always been cautious on everything, and I trust you. Our family should be rich, and we will have your dowry in the future.”
Lin Mengya didn’t care much about money. Long Tianyu, Qinghu, and Xiaoyu had given her a lot of money.
Later on, Baishao took care of everything. She did not expect Baishao to be a business genius.
In a short period of time, the amount of money had increased several times.
Now, Lin Mengya was not just rich. In the private coffer under Baishao’s charge, there were two big boxes that were filled with the deeds to the property alone.
For around thirty or forty percent of the shops in the Capital City, Lin Mengya was either the owner or the shareholder.
Baishao had established a business empire that only belonged to her in the short span of a year, not to mention the shops that were open in other parts of the country.
But even so, Baishao knew better than anyone else.
All of this was given by Lin Mengya.
After Li Mengya heard Baishao’s report, her jaw dropped.
“Did I hear that right? Now I’m rich? Oh my god, it’s just like a dream.”
Baiji and the others just smiled helplessly.
“Well, now their Master was not just rich. She was super rich.”
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya was not so good at showing off her prosperity except for saying “I’m rich,” or maybe, “I’m too rich”.
Baishao shook her head. She knew her Master’s character very well.
She finally relaxed a little bit in her heart. Although she had already been called the Silver Queen by those businessmen, in front of her Master, she was still the shy girl who was looking forward to her praise.
“Baishao, please collect these properties. I want to give half of them to you. As for the other half, I’ll give them to everyone. What do you think?”
Lin Mengya looked at Baishao sincerely.
But Baishao was stunned on the spot. “Half... why did the Master give her half of the property?”
“No, you can’t. These things belong to you. I’m just a guard. You can do anything to them, but I really can’t take it.”
Seeing Baishao’s refusal, Lin Mengya felt very guilty.
To be honest, Baishao was the real star who made her business empire achieve the current scale.
She just gave Baishao a start-up fund. The reason why it could achieve such a good scale was Baishao’s talent at investment.
Now, she wanted to give half of her money to others as a favor. Actually, it was not fair for Baishao already.
She didn’t expect Baishao to be so old-fashioned.
“Baishao, good girl. I’m already very surprised and satisfied that you didn’t blame me. During these days when I was not here, how could we live such a peaceful and rich life if it were not for you? You deserve all these things. Please don’t blame me that you can only take half of them.”
Baishao shook her head desperately. She had always been good at doing business and arguing. But now, in front of Lin Mengya, she couldn’t even say a word.
“Master, please don’t drive me away. This is my home. I can’t leave here!”
Baishao looked at her with tears in her eyes. Lin Mengya’s heart ached for her.
However, Lin Mengya was also confused by her words.
“I didn’t mention any words of letting her go. What on earth was she thinking about?”
“Silly girl, when did I say that I would let you go? I just think that it’s not easy for everyone to follow me, so I want to compensate you guys. Besides, even if you get married one day, you’ll still be my sister-in-law. As the saying goes, Benefits should always be kept for one’s own people. If I’m poor one day, you’ll have to help me anyway.”
Lin Mengya pinched Baisu’s pretty face and blinked her eyes.
The latter immediately blushed, and even Mrs. Tian grinned from ear to ear.
“You really know how to make fun of me!”
Baishao stomped her feet and ran away shyly.
The group of people sitting around all smiled extremely ambiguously. Look, the one who was best at doing business was their Master after all.
It was said that half of the money was distributed, but in the blink of an eye, it was treated as a dowry and flowed into her family’s money bag again.
Everyone knew that Tian Ning and Lin Mengya were brother and sister who shared the same wet nurse. It was not an exaggeration for Tian Ning to treat her as his own sister.
This time, her Master didn’t have to worry about money anymore.
Everyone sat there and chatted happily. People came and went which always made the courtyard extremely lively.
It was until dinner time that Lin Mengya finally got free from the crowd.
Qinghu had been waiting for her for a long time. Seeing her being welcomed by so many people, he had to admit that he was very proud.
“You’re so smart. You’ve won the heart of Baishao, the God of Wealth. Alas, it seems that she’s willing to make money for you for the rest of her life. If I don’t have money in the future, you have to support me.”
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at the mean guy. Although everyone was joking, Lin Mengya was clear that her purpose was to make everyone live a good life.
As for the convenience, it was just a reward of doing good deeds.
“If you’re really so bored, why don’t you do some farm work? Have you found out what I asked you to do?”
As soon as he came back, Lin Mengya mercilessly kicked Qinghu out and asked him to inquire about something in the Capital City.
It was not that she didn’t feel sorry for Qinghu, but Qinghu knew what she was thinking. Even if Lin Mengya didn’t ask him, he would definitely go.
“The Crown Prince is still at home, but the security in his mansion has been tightened. I’m afraid that it’s difficult for ordinary spies to enter. The Empress is quiet, but I’m afraid she is planning something. By the way, do you still remember Long Mengru, the Princess Tiancheng?”
Lin Mengya nodded. If the Crown Prince was an idiot, then Long Mengru had inherited her mother’s sinister and cunning ways.
She was innocent on appearance, but in fact, she was a very powerful figure.
If Long Mengru was a man, it would have nothing to do with the Crown Prince.
“She’s been quite active recently since it’s the time for her to marry as I heard. The Emperor Jin Yuan is picking out a husband for her. However, even though she had picked quite a few families, Princess Tiancheng was not interested in any of them. She has very high standards. Your big brother, Xiao Yixin, is also one of them. However, he didn’t take it easy and even rejected it harshly. The Xiao family has to bear a lot of difficulties because of this.”
In the past, Lin Mengya had known that Qinghu had misunderstood Xiao Yixin. But now, it seemed that nothing had changed.
According to Xiao Yixin’s character, he should not be so reckless after going through so many difficulties.
