Chapter 12 Blackmail
He is obviously such a noble and aloof person, why does he act like a bandit when he opens his mouth?
Lin Yunmeng secretly despised it in her heart, and moved her eyes to Xiao Yubei who was wondering what he was thinking. The corner of her mouth raised a strange arc.
"Since Prince Qing is so persistent and thinks I'm worth the price, it's just right. Mr. Xiao is here." Lin Yunmeng pointed at Xiao Yubei who was hanging high up. After seeing the incomprehensible look on his face, Lin Yunmeng smiled even more.
It's brilliant.
"Young Master Xiao, do you remember this Prince Qing? It was because of you that he fell into the water. Now I have also paid the compensation price. It should have been your responsibility, but this girl has no obligation to bear it for you first. Now you
look……?"
With that said, Lin Yunmeng motioned Xiao Yubei to look at Xu Qingke. Xiao Yubei's face suddenly darkened... Although his original expression was cold, Lin Yunmeng could still clearly feel the change in his mood.
"What Miss Lin said..." How could Xiao Yubei be willing to be taken advantage of? Not to mention a thousand taels of gold, he was not willing to spend even one tael in vain.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, don't be too moved. I do good deeds every day, and my father is still waiting for me in the palace. I have taken the first step. Prince Qing, you can ask for the money from Mr. Xiao, and by the way, take this little thief to the government.
." Lin Yunmeng interrupted without saying a word, then cut through the mess with a sharp knife, got on his horse, and pulled the rope directly.
Xiao Yubei's words were stuck in his throat. He couldn't come up or go down. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Could it be that he was going to stop the person at this time and then tell her to get lost?
Then wouldn’t this conflict with my own plan?
Xiao Yubei's expression was extremely ugly, especially when Xu Qingke stared at him with a deadly look.
"Mr. Xiao, I don't even ask for a thousand taels. After all, Miss Lin herself said it's not worth the price. You can always afford a hundred taels, right?"
Xu Qingke said the most heart-wrenching words in a voice as gentle as jade.
Xiao Yubei still wanted to bargain, let alone what the origin of the assassin was, but the person in front of him was obviously not easy to fool, so he decided with one sentence.
"As Miss Lin said, I was almost killed last time. Isn't Mr. Xiao also responsible for this? Is it possible that you don't want to repay what you owe me?"
"..." Xiao Yubei watched Xu Qingke's departure with a stupefied expression on his face.
He suspected that this person was making things up out of thin air, talking nonsense, and confusing right and wrong!
But he didn't dare point it out.
Who dares? How could he, a little concubine of the Xiao family, offend this famous Prince Qing?
Even though he was very unwilling now, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them.
…
Lin Yunmeng raised her head and looked at the red door, her eyes slightly dazed.
I still remember the last time I entered the palace, I was wearing armor and holding a red tassel gun, looking heroic.
I think back to the time when she was so famous, she was the founding father of the country, and the most legendary first female general, but she never imagined that she would end up dead without a burial...
Lin Yunmeng lowered her eyes and suppressed the complicated emotions in her eyes. She patted the dusty white clothes, lifted up the hem of her clothes and dropped them deftly to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
No one had ever thought that a woman would actually ride a horse to attend the royal banquet. Not to mention whether riding a horse was unreasonable or not, just because of her messy attire, many people frowned.
After all, he is a face-to-face saint, but he is so negligent. Whose girl is so bold?
Lin Yunmeng lazily cared about other people's gazes, tied her horse under a tree, and strode towards the palace. The silver-armored guard at the door really stopped her.
Lin Yunmeng paused and took the jade pendant that symbolized the prime minister's residence.
After looking at it carefully for a few times, the other party let him go with full doubts.
The guards were quite lax today, otherwise they would have held her captive and asked her why for a long time.
The splendid hall is spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people without any crowding. The fake rocks and green pine trees on the roadside add a bit of vitality and vitality to the luxurious place.
When Lin Yunmeng followed the leading maid from the palace to the banquet, the originally lively scene was quiet for a moment, and then quickly returned to bustling.
"Whose girl is this? She is as beautiful as a fairy."
"You are very eye-catching. I guess you are from a daughter's family who is not very favored. Otherwise, why doesn't everyone recognize her?"
Lin Yunmeng ignored the comments and walked straight towards Lin Lin. When Zhang Yanfang saw Lin Yunmeng, the smile on her lips faded a bit.
Lin Lin frowned reflexively, looking at his daughter who used to be as transparent as a small one, but now she strode over with her chest held high and her head held high.
It was as if... he suddenly broke through all the haze and gloom and stood directly in front of him.
"Father."
Lin Yunmeng bowed lightly, but as for the others, she did not need to lower her status and pay attention.
The bright smile of the third girl, Lin Xiaoming, suddenly froze on her face. The moment Lin Yunmeng appeared, she almost had her eyes popping out of her head.
How did this person enter the palace? It would take a long time to rent a carriage and go back and forth on the street.
"Big sister is finally here." Lin Tan'er, on the other hand, bowed obediently and looked at Lin Yunmeng with a gentle and gentle expression.
It's like being so close to her.
Lin Yunmeng also has a second younger brother who is currently studying in the academy and has no time to attend the banquet.
Lin Yunmeng nodded coldly. The other party liked to show off, so she reluctantly cooperated.
"Third sister, why didn't you even say hello when you met your sister? You don't seem to welcome me very much, sister?" Lin Yunmeng narrowed her eyes and instantly pointed the finger at Lin Xiaoming.
Lin Xiaoming's face froze and she bowed dryly: "Hello, big sister, Ming'er is welcome..."
"Then why did the third sister wait for the first sister, see the elder sister, and let the coachman leave first?" Lin Yunmeng lazily gave in to her, and her straightforward words caught Lin Xiaoming off guard.
Perhaps in my previous life, I could have learned how several girls talked in circles and taunted me with sticks and guns.
But I guess I have been a soldier for a long time, and I am really tired of some hypocritical words and superficial skills.
Lin Lin squinted his eyes slightly and frowned slightly. He also liked to talk in a roundabout way without getting to the point. After all, he was in a high position, but for some reason, he didn't like others to be like him.
.
This was the conclusion that Lin Yunmeng came to after groping for a long time. Obviously, everyone in this family knew him well, so everyone maintained a calm and beautiful appearance in front of Lin Lin.
Now, after being exposed mercilessly by Lin Yunmeng, not to mention what Lin Lin would think, Lin Xiaoming's whole person was in bad shape anyway.
