Chapter 283 This is Dayong. How dare you, a person from Xiliang, do anything to me?
After a long time, Yu Tingwan calmed down and whispered, "Ayan, who do you think started the fire tonight?"
Wen Shiyan said what Yu Tingwan was thinking without any hesitation.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lin Siqiong and her daughter."
Yu Tingwan sighed, "I think so too, but I don't quite understand."
"What?"
"They set the fire, they must have been targeting us, but why did they burn down an empty yard?"
Wen Shiyan tapped the tip of Yu Tingwan's nose. "Even someone as smart as Tingwan can't figure things out. It's because they realized they couldn't get close to our yard. Since they couldn't set fire to us, they could only choose another yard and set it on fire as a warning to us."
After hearing Wen Shiyan's words, Yu Tingwan's doubts were finally answered.
"So that's how it is! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Of course it's because you're too nervous." Wen Shiyan's voice became softer, but also more resolute. "Tingwan, don't worry. I will protect you and Youning and won't let anything happen to you."
"Of course I believe you." Yu Tingwan said without hesitation, "It's just... too many things have happened in the past year. The successive appearances of divine beasts always make me feel uneasy."
"No matter what happens, as long as our family stays together, we can get through it!"
“Yeah, I know…”
The two stopped talking and fell silent.
A night passed.
The next morning, after breakfast, they packed up the gold spit out by the golden toad and got on the carriage, ready to return to the capital.
Nangong Meng looked at Yu Tingwan eagerly, "Sister Tingwan, I also want to go to the capital. I haven't been there yet. Can you take me there?"
Nangong Meng was just a fifteen-year-old girl. At this moment, she looked at him eagerly, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Who can have the heart to refuse such a little girl acting coquettishly?
Yu Tingwan had no way to refuse and could only agree, but she still asked, "Won't the elders at home worry if you don't go home?"
Nangong Meng immediately waved her hands, "Of course not! My parents let me out this time so that I could see the world. If I just go back like this, they'll be unhappy!"
It's impossible not to be happy.
However, as long as they agree, Yu Tingwan will have no burden.
Although Nangong Meng had the mind of a little girl, she did not pester Yu Tingwan to sit in a carriage.
After all, Yu Tingwan’s husband is still next to her!
Nangong Meng volunteered to take care of Yu Youning and others, and sat in Chu Huaixu's carriage.
Fortunately, Chu Huaixu's carriage was big enough to accommodate one more person.
Everyone got on the carriage and headed for the capital.
As for the gold mine here, Liuyun had already notified everyone yesterday, and someone has brought troops here to guard it.
There are naturally specialized people to take charge of the subsequent mining and smelting, so these people don't need to worry about it.
Now they just need to return to the capital and wait for the emperor's reward.
The discovery of a gold mine and the successful bringing back of the golden toad were a great help to Dayong.
The emperor already knew the specific situation and would definitely not pretend to know nothing.
The carriage was moving very fast and rarely stopped.
But when they were almost reaching the capital, they stopped.
The reason for stopping was very simple. They saw the carriages and horses from Xiliang.
Nangong Meng leaned against the window and looked out. "The Shangguan family is following us too. Where are they going?"
Yu Youning leaned over to the side, her eyes also filled with curiosity. "How about we follow and take a look? Ah Xu, what do you think?"
"Okay!" Chu Huaixu agreed without any hesitation.
Although the Crown Princess of Xiliang came to Dayong with a noble status, she was still an outsider after all. Moreover, the two countries were still at war not long ago, and it was absolutely impossible for them to let people from Xiliang run around the capital of Dayong.
Who knows what they might do?
Now that I have come across it, I must follow it and take a closer look.
The carriage followed, and after a while, the carriages and horses in front stopped.
On one side of the carriage is a farm.
This farm looks ordinary and there is nothing special about it.
Nangong Meng's eyes were filled with confusion. "Could it be that there is a hidden secret in this farm? Otherwise, why would they come here?"
Chu Huaixu and his companions had only just returned to Beijing not long ago, so they didn't know much about this farm.
At this moment, Liuyun walked to the window and replied respectfully in a low voice, "...This farm was Madam Lin's dowry. The Lin Mansion was confiscated, but Madam Lin's dowry was not taken away, so Madam Lin and her son have been living here ever since."
"Who is Madam Lin? And who is her son?" Nangong Meng was even more puzzled. "How do they know the Crown Princess of Xiliang?"
Yu Youning looked at Nangong Meng, "Aunt Nangong, you haven't found out enough information! My mother's biological mother is Madam Lin!"
Nangong Meng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Youning, are you saying that this is your maternal grandparents' home?"
Yu Youning shook his head this time, "No, this is not my maternal grandparents' home. My maternal grandparents' home is on Penglai Island! Madam Lin is only my mother's biological mother."
This is a very confusing statement, and if someone else were to say it, they might not understand it.
But Nangong Meng still understood.
What Yu Youning meant was that they had nothing to do with the Lin family.
After understanding this, Nangong Meng's eyes became brighter.
She is worthy of being her sister Tingwan!
As expected, it’s Youning!
They cannot recognize those who treat them badly, even if they are related by blood!
Nangong Meng was still admiring them in her heart, but Yu Youning had already looked out the window again, "But what are they doing here?"
She remembered it clearly. She had received the news before that Tuoba Ruoli had poisoned Madam Lin before leaving Dayong!
Madam Lin can't stand up now because of Tuoba Ruoli.
She now appears in front of Mrs. Lin on her own initiative. Could it be that she is here to admit her mistake?
Yu Youning couldn't figure it out at all. It felt like a kitten's claws were gently scratching his heart.
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
Yu Youning thought quickly and soon came up with an excuse.
"I remember that the Third Elder seems to be here!"
"I haven't seen the Third Elder for a long time. I miss him a little!"
"Ah Xu, do you also want to meet the Third Elder?"
As he spoke, Yu Youning still looked at Chu Huaixu eagerly.
Being stared at by Yu Youning like this, Chu Huaixu couldn't help laughing.
But Chu Huaixu still nodded, "Yes, I miss the Third Elder too, let's go see him together!"
Just as they got off the carriage together, they saw Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan also getting off the carriage.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, laughed at the same time, and walked towards the gate of the manor hand in hand.
At this time, the gate of the manor was guarded by the guards from Xiliang. When they saw Yu Youning and his group coming, they immediately stopped them.
"Our princess is inside, so it's not convenient for you to go in for the time being."
Chu Huaixu walked to the front and looked at the two people coldly, "This is Dayong. Is there any place I can't go? You, the Princess of Xiliang, are showing off your power in Dayong?"
The two guards looked at Chu Huaixu, and after exchanging a glance, they finally didn't dare to stop them any further and let them in.
Nangong Meng followed him in, but her expression was a little dazed.
Prince?
The crown prince of Dayong?
Among these children, there is actually one who is the prince?
How come she didn't notice it before?
...
In the main courtyard, Tuoba Ruoli and Lin Siqiong were sitting at the upper seats, while Lin Yu was forced to kneel on the ground by two guards.
Mrs. Lin was still sitting in the wheelchair, staring at Tuoba Ruoli with angry eyes.
"Lin Ruoli, what do you want to do!"
Tuoba Ruoli raised her chin. "You are wrong. My last name is Tuoba, and I am the princess of Xiliang. You are a country woman who doesn't know the rules. I will forgive you this time and not take your disrespectful behavior seriously. However, this opportunity only comes once!"
Mrs. Lin naturally also heard about the Xiliang Crown Princess coming to the capital.
But she never imagined that this so-called Crown Princess was actually the former Lin Ruoli.
Lin Ruoli used to be so well-behaved, obedient, sensible and sweet-spoken.
But where is the trace of the former Tuoba Ruoli now?
"you--"
Mrs. Lin's eyes were filled with mixed emotions, but she couldn't continue.
Lin Yu struggled desperately, but still couldn't break free from the two guards. He could only look up at Tuoba Ruoli desperately, "Li'er, what happened in the past is in the past. We don't care about it anymore. Can you please stop caring about it too?"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ruoli's expression instantly turned cold. "Who allowed you to speak to me like that? Do you think you can just call me by my name?"
Lin Yu, who left her alone and ran away, is no longer the uncle who treated her well!
Seeing Tuoba Ruoli being so ruthless, Madam Lin also became angry. Her face flushed with excitement, and she pointed at Tuoba Ruoli and loudly scolded him, "Tuoba Ruoli, I haven't settled the score with you for poisoning me, and you are still bossing us around, showing off your status as the Crown Princess.
After changing your surname and identity, have you forgotten how you tried to please me and your uncle? "
What Tuoba Ruoli was most reluctant to talk about was the time when she had to kowtow to others in the past.
Hearing Madam Lin mention this, she was even more furious and sneered, "You know my current status has changed, but you still talk to me like this. Do you think I won't do anything to you?"
"This is Dayong!" Madam Lin looked up. "How dare you, a person from Xiliang, do anything to me?"
