Chapter 765 Hide Her True Self by Pretending to Be Ambitious

However, at the thought that she was trying to be modest, Xiaoyu immediately intended to mention her “great achievements”.

Lin Mengya immediately changed the topic. If she let Xiaoyu go on talking about this, she would feel too ashamed to continue staying here.

She said, “In fact, I come here for Xiaoyu indeed. Madame, you also know that there are multiple forces in a disordered state in the Lieyun Empire at present. Xiaoyu’s force is not the strongest one, but it can enable him to protect himself. Nevertheless, he still lacks something crucial. Although I have no talent, I accidentally obtained the ability to help Xiaoyu get the crucial thing. Nevertheless, Xiaoyu is the son of you and His Majesty after all. It’s up to you two to decide whether to let him do that or not.”

Madame Jingrou glanced at Lin Mengya, then at her silly son who fixed his eyes on Lin Mengya, sighing secretly in her heart.

She only heard that the woman who saved Xiaoyu was of extraordinary origin, but she didn’t expect the woman to be not only bold and insightful but also ambitious.

She was not sure if it was a blessing or a curse for her son to have such a woman around.

“Uh... I can’t make the decision. I’ll invite His Majesty over to talk it over. Miss Lin, no, I’d better call you Miss Helan. Since Yu’er has brought you here, you are naturally our distinguished guest. If you don’t mind, can you stay in my Fengyu Court for a few days?” Madame Jingrou said.

How could Lin Mengya turn down such a polite invitation?

After exchanging glances with Xiaoyu, she nodded.

Madame Jingrou, who didn’t dare to treat Lin Mengya lightly, immediately instructed Ningqiu beside her to take Lin Mengya to have a rest.

After that, only Madame Jingrou and Xiaoyu were left in the main hall.

Staring at her son lovingly, Madame Jingrou noticed that he seemed to have inherited his father’s domineering air despite his young age.

He was her only child as well as one of the biggest motivations enabling her to endure the hardships over the years.

But now, her son’s mind was occupied with such a woman.

She would prefer that Yu’er fell in love with a woman who had no talent or virtue but was dignified with regular features.

“Yu’er, I like Miss... Miss Helan, but she doesn’t seem to be an ordinary girl. I think it’s a good thing for a girl to be smart, but she is too smart, which may make her an unsuitable wife for you. Do you agree?” Madame Jingrou said.

She could not come straight to the point when talking with her son.

She still remembered when Yu’er just returned to the Lieyun Empire, he was cold to everyone and never showed a smile.

Only when he received Miss Lin’s letters did his face soften a little.

She heard from those who came back from the Capital City of the Jin State with Xiaoyu that only Miss Lin was able to make him obedient.

As a mother, she only felt regretful and upset, but she failed to find her way into Yu’er’s heart.

Now that their relationship finally eased, she would not let anything turn Yu’er against her.

After seeing Lin Mengya off, Lin Zhongyu, who was known as Wanyan Yu now, turned to look at his mother with a serious look.

He asked, “Mother, are you afraid that she will take control of the imperial court like the late Empress and cause chaos in our country?”

Madame Jingrou intended to deny it, but she suddenly remembered that her son took after her and the Emperor in his temperament.

She could only nod slowly, thinking that a woman who was too tough and smart was no less than a disaster to the royal family.

Moreover, judging from Yu’er’s attitude towards Miss Lin, if he married her in the future, she would definitely be his legal wife.

Madame Jingrou couldn’t let Yu’er take such a great risk.

“Mother, rest assured. She will never do that. If she wants to do that, I’m willing to give her everything I have. Your worry is overblown. My sister is very smart. She expressed her ambition eagerly just in order to avoid building close bonds with you,” Xiaoyu said and shook his head bitterly.

He knew about his sister very well.

When he first met her, he felt that she was like a fairy who came from the ninth heaven and occasionally descended to the mortal world so that he had the pleasure of meeting her.

Back then, she was indescribably gorgeous, both lively and gentle.

But this time, when he met her again, he discovered that although she still treated him as before, she was aloof and tried to alienate herself from others.

A smart person like her must have seen through his mother’s perseverant and cautious disposition, so she put on an aggressive and ambitious look.

Only by displeasing his mother could she avoid building close bonds with his mother.

What on earth had happened in the past half a year so that his sister became like this?

Wanyan Yu suddenly felt regretful. If he hadn’t come back at that time, would he have been able to go through all this with his sister?

“That... that’s what she’s up to? Xiaoyu, did I do anything wrong so that Miss Lin misunderstood me?” Madame Jingrou asked.

No matter what kind of person Lin Mengya was, she was Xiaoyu’s life saver. Even if she wouldn’t marry Xiaoyu, she was worthy of their gratitude.

Wanyan Yu shook his head helplessly, with no idea what was going on in his sister’s mind.

“She is not a narrow-minded person. Mother, you can talk over anything with her from now on, and you will gradually discover that she is different from you and all the other women in the imperial palace. You will also like her because she is so likable that she has plenty of companions willing to take all risks for her,” Xiaoyu said in a soft voice.

He seemed to be much more tender when talking about anything about his sister.

At the sight that her son suddenly became as meek as a sheep, Madame Jingrou felt a little jealous but curious about Miss Helan.

Although she had just met Helan for a while, she found Helan was not only tough and ambitious, but also extraordinary both in appearance and courage.

Could it be that Helan just did all this to hide her true self?

“Miss, please come in. This is the side chamber of the Fengyu Court,” Ningqiu said.

As she led Lin Mengya here, she stole a glance at the strange Miss Helan from time to time.

It should be noted that the Fengyu Court was one of the most elegant and quietest places even in the imperial palace of the Lieyun Empire.

Even she, who had worked as a palace maid in the imperial palace since she was a child, involuntarily kept looking around secretly when she came to the Fengyu Court for the first time.

However, Miss Helan seemed used to this, merely looked around with little interest and nodded lightly.

It was no wonder that the prince regarded Miss Helan with special attention. Miss Helan was indeed different from people like her.

“Miss Ningqiu, if you continue paying no attention to the road, you’re going to bump into the door,” Lin Mengya warned Ningqiu gently, which made Ningqiu, who had been peeping at her, blush instantly.

Ningqiu looked uneasily at Miss Helan and was about to kneel down and plead guilty, but she was stopped by a pair of strong hands.

“In your Fengyu Court, both the master and the palace maids have to kneel frequently. Don’t you feel tired? Silly girl, I won’t blame you. Besides, don’t kneel to others easily from now on. A loyal and clever person like you will distinguish yourself in the imperial palace sooner or later,” Lin Mengya said.

Ningqiu was a little confused. Miss Helan said a lot in the main hall just now, but she did not sound as gentle and sincere as she did at the moment.

Ningqiu stared timidly at Miss Helan, finding she was affable with a pleasant voice.

So Ningqiu became much less timid and fearful.

“Why are you staring at me like that? I can’t present another vase of purple peonies even if you keep staring at me.” As Lin Mengya said, she gently knocked on Ningqiu’s forehead.

The reason why she treated Ningqiu so kindly was that Ningqiu seemed to have reminded her of her maids.

Hongyu presumably had returned to the Capital City by now. Had Baishao and the other maids been waiting for news of her return every day?

If... if they got the bad news of her death from Long Tianyu, they would cry bitterly.

With her face suddenly becoming gloomy, she thought how many people she had to let down for the accursed relics of the Guwei State.

“Miss, are you thinking about your family members?” Ningqiu asked.

After pushing open the door of the side chamber, she turned around and saw Lin Mengya’s complicated expression.

“Yes, I have a few sisters like you in my distant home. I miss them terribly, but I can’t go back to meet them,” Lin Mengya said.

Regardless of their previous identities, she had long considered them as the family members she valued most.

In order to protect them and stop the relics of the Guwei State from bringing more disasters, Lin Mengya could only save them in this way.

Although Ningqiu had no idea what Miss Helan meant, she felt grieved at the sight of Miss Helan’s dejected look.

She was the youngest child most favored by her parents. If it were not for the misfortune her family met with, she would not have become a humble palace maid who had been bullied all the time in the imperial palace.

Overwhelmed by sorrow, she stood at the door and burst into tears, while saying, “I also miss my family members...”

She, who was sobbing, began to weep aloud in the blink of an eye.

Lin Mengya looked at the girl in front of her in astonishment, thinking, “I’m homesick, but why is she crying more bitterly than me?”

“Stop crying. Look at you. I’m sad, but you’re crying louder than me. Ningqiu, you’re quite interesting,” Lin Mengya said and looked helplessly at Ningqiu who lost herself in crying.

Ningqiu was quite similar to Baizhi in crying easily.

If one day the two of them took part in a competition for the best weeper, perhaps it would be very exciting.

Lin Mengya drew a candy out of her sleeve and put it in Ningqiu’s mouth when the time came.

Ningqiu’s crying that amazed Lin Mengya stopped abruptly.
