Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess
Chapter 195 - Animals Better-Treated than HumansChapter 195 Animals Better-Treated than Humans
The sleepiness in Lin Mengya vanished in that instant when she was frightened by that young man with the Rosa Multiflora flower.
Sitting by the bedside, Lin Mengya rubbed her forehead continuously.
Her emotion had gone out of control for a moment, which was why she wailed and shouted at Long Tianhao. That was so embarrassing!
Sigh, how was she going to face him again?
“Are you feeling better, Elder Sister?”
Xiaoyu’s voice echoed from outside.
The little guy had entered the room smiling and carrying a heap of laundry, and Lin Mengya could see a smile on his delicate face.
“Whose clothes are these?”
Lin Zhongyu continued smiling and in a joyfully satisfied manner, he said, “You make a guess!”
A frown appeared on Lin Mengya’s forehead instantly.
These lovely kids had all been under Qinghu’s bad influence.
As she took over the pile of clothes from Lin Zhongyu’s hands, a golden silk waist band fell onto the floor.
“Are these... the prince’s clothes? Have you... removed the prince’s clothes?”
Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide only to see a smiling Xiaoyu nodding away.
Oh heavens! He actually undressed Long Tianhao! She was finished. Now Long Tianhao would tear down the entire Liuxin Courtyard.
At this moment, Long Tianhao was frowning as he stood by Qingbo Pool.
He was certain that he had left his clothes by the pool. Could Steward Deng have taken them?
That should not be the case, because if he did, he would have placed a new set of clothes in their place.
Qingbo Pool, which was within the grounds of Qinwu Courtyard, was a neat little hotspring pool.
Prince Yu’s mansion was originally the home to a beloved official of the late emperor. At one point in time, it was a much-contended place among the officials because of the presence of the mouth of a hot spring.
Because of the emperor’s special favor towards Long Tianhao, his son, he had specially gifted this mansion to him.
He was disconcerted after he returned from his visit to Lin Mengya, which was why he had come to have a dip in the hotspring.
However, where were his clothes after he got out of the spring?
A beautiful image of a woman appeared and it quietly approached the Qingbo Pool.
Long Tianhao turned his body and saw that the lady carrying some clothing and smiling coquettishly at him was none other than Jiang Ruqin.
“Here is your clothing, Cousin.”
She started blushing before she could even finish her sentence.
Jiang Ruqin was cladded in a dress of thin cotton yarn which was a little translucent, so much so her shoulders were visible from time to time.
Above her pretty little face on top of her head, her hair was tied up in a side-way pony tail, accessorized with a pearly hairpin.
Every tiny expression on her face exuberated tenderness and grace.
Her alluring mannerism could drive any man crazy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLong Tianhao reached out a large hand towards Jiang Ruqin, and in that instant, the virgin’s breathing instinctively quickened.
Her aunt was right. Her cousin would come to her as long as she gave it her all.
However, to her surprise, the large hand merely grabbed hold of the robe in her hand.
“Dear cousin, shall I help you with putting on your clothes?”
Her slightly trembling voice sounded so miserable and pathetic that it could melt anyone’s heart, but unfortunately, not Long Tianhao’s heart.
Instead, Long Tianhao’s face fell.
He did not like Jiang Ruqin to behave in this way, in fact, he was repulsed by her behavior.
“Come over here.”
He took the belt from her hand and skillfully put it around his waist.
These were his clothes and belt.
Jiang Ruqin had apparently entered his room in his absence.
This was an outrageous act.
“In future, do not enter my room without my permission.”
His voice frightened Jiang Ruqin a little.
She might be slow, but she could tell his aversion towards her behavior from the tone of his voice.
“Dear cousin, you know I’m simply very fond of you. Why can’t you reciprocate the feeling?”
At this moment, Jiang Ruqin could no longer hold back her emotions but cried out to Long Tianhao.
Unfortunately, Long Tianhao refused to even turn around to face her.
“You’re not worthy,” he said flatly.
She was no longer the cousin Long Tianhao used to know since the moment she made use of Xing’er to frame Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya might be ruthless, but she was at the same time a faithful friend and a girl with self-respect.
Jiang Ruqin, on the other hand, was only concerned about the glory and status that came with being Princess Yu.
Unlike Lin Mengya, who pushed away the glory and status that came with being Princess Yu.
Strangely, his heart was pained when he thought about her tears.
“You guys are so playful!”
Back in the Liuxin Courtyard, Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu were holding on to the basins of water on their heads with both of their hands, while their eyes pleaded with Lin Mengya.
“Snow, the baby tiger, watch both of them for me and don’t let them move!”
The two animals which had grown a fair bit, were baring their teeth as they each watched one of guys intently.
“Elder Sister, Qinghu and I were just thinking that he shouldn’t bully you!”
Lin Zhongyu looked at Lin Mengya with a pathetic expression, while Qinghu, blinking, was still smiling a cheeky as he looked at Lin Mengya.
“I know you meant well for me, but there is still something which you shouldn’t do. Moreover, he did not bully me. I was the one who was deliberately provocative.”
How could she bring herself to hold the two of them accountable?
Since she arrived, Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu were the only ones who were sincerely kindly to her.
Although they were always up to shockingly offensive antics.
To her, these did not bother her because she was fully aware of their good intentions towards her.
“Alright, I shall stop punishing you two. I’m going to bring the prince’s clothes over to him, while you stay here in the Liuxin Courtyard. Snow and the baby tiger, watch them for me.”
Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu fixed their gazes on the eyes of the two little beasts.
Sighing, they realized that they had been treated worse than these two small animals.
After pressing the guards to tell her Long Tianhao’s whereabouts, she learned that he was at Qingbo Pool.
She carried his clothes and headed towards the pool, but was surprised when she saw Jiang Ruqin coming from the direction of the pool.
Her eyes were bloodshot and hairpin slightly displaced in her disheveled hair.
The clothes she was wearing was revealing part of her shoulder, which made her look especially alluring.
When Jiang Ruqin spotted Lin Mengya, the expression on her face changed to one of satisfaction as she straightened her clothes.
“Isn’t this Princess Yu? Perhaps I should change the way address you to Elder Sister.”
Lin Mengya dazed. It seemed that the clothes in her hands were no longer needed.
“There’s no rush. Miss Jiang can continue to call me your cousin-in-law, which sounds much better.”
Jiang Ruqin lifted up her gaze and Lin Mengya, then she deliberately bared one of her shoulders again.
“Cousin-in-law? Alright, anyways it will only be a few more days for me to address you that way. My dear cousin really dotes on me regardless,” said Jiang Ruqin equivocally.
Then she, followed by her servants strode past Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya kept up the smile on her face until Jiang Ruqin was completely out of sight.
Then a fiery rage welled up from within her.
She tightened her grip on the clothes and returned to the Liuxin Courtyard.
“Baiji, Baiji, where are you?”
The moment Lin Mengya stepped into the courtyard, she started calling out for Baiji and looked as if she could not wait any longer.
Baiji, who was sewing a winter coat for Lin Mengya in the room immediately came out to welcome, but the moment Lin Mengya spotted her, she tossed Long Tianhao’s clothes to her.
“Use the fabric from this piece of clothing to make two little pieces of clothing for Snow and the baby tiger respectively! I want you to do it now!”
Baiji stared at the piece of clothing that landed in her hands and thought it looked familiar.
“Master, isn’t this a piece of the prince’s clothing?”
The fabric was of the highest quality satin and the prince was about the only person in the entire mansion who fitted to wear clothes of made out of such fabric.
“Indeed. Make sure you wash it clean before you use it, lest some disease from it comes onto you.”
After giving the instructions in a furious tone, Lin Mengya returned to her own room.
“Bang!” Went the main door as she slammed it shut.
“Who is she angry with?”
Baiji shook her head and headed back to her room to do her chores.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Lin Mengya was sitting in front of her study table and slipping through the pages of her book angrily.
Humph! How many faithful men could one find in the world? Most men were fickle in love affairs or even heartbreakers.
“Sigh, who are you mad with now? Do you want me to give vent to your anger on your behalf?”
Qinghu was wearing a brilliant smile when he came up close to Lin Mengya, looking at her.
To Qinghu’s surprise, she, who was holding out a book to him a moment ago, had reached out and pinched his cheek in between when Qinghu was totally unprepared.
“My face! My pretty face!”
Lin Mengya continued to pink harder instead of letting go.
“Miss, you can’t afford to pay for any disfiguration of my face.”
However, Lin Mengya did not show any pity but continued pinching and squeezing Qinghu’s face.
“My Queen, I surrender. Please let me off.”
Qinghu’s miserable expression helped dissipate half of Lin Mengya’s fury.
However, she remained sulky.
“Did you not go to deliver the prince’s clothes? Did he become as bold as to bully you again?”
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya sighed and said, “No, it’s my own problem. It has nothing to do with him.”
Lin Mengya rested her chin on her hands as she furrowed her brows in misery.
“Qinghu, how do I get a divorce if we are members of the royal family?”
The expression in the eyes of Qinghu changed the moment he heard Lin Mengya’s words.
“Do you want to divorce Long Tianhao? Forget it! You can lead such a good life staying by his side. You get to have good food and wine and you get a lot more advantage of staying by his side. Why do you want to divorce him?”
“I’m just asking...”
It sounded ridiculous that she had unknowingly become a married woman when she first came here.
If she became a divorced woman for no reason, she would have been greatly disadvantaged.
“Oh yes, Qinghu, you’ve been living a life of a vagrant for so many years, do you know of any powerful organization or noble family which uses the Rosa Multiflora as a symbol?” asked Lin Mengya.
At the same time, she was trying hard to get the emotional turmoil regarding her romantic feelings out of her mind.
That suspicious figure she glimpsed felt like a dangerous person. If she did not probe further, she was afraid that Xiaoyu would be in danger.
“I haven’t heard of any organization or noble family with Rosa Multiflora as its symbol.”
Qinghu thought over Lin Mengya’s question carefully, despite being clueless about her reason for asking such a question.
“However, there was one person using the flower to represent himself, who was not a commoner.”
At the mention of this person, even Qinghu looked a little fearful.
“Do you know of a nation called Lieyun Empire which was to the south-west of Dajin?”
Lin Mengya searched her memory and she vaguely remembered that she had read about it in the books.
“It was a place with dense forests, therefore, most parts of that country was very humid and infested with poisonous bugs and plants. For this reason, the people of Lieyun Empire were all expert in the use of poison.”
“Please focus on the main point,” said Lin Mengya.
Qinghu rolled his eyes at the impatient Lin Mengya.
