Chapter 741 She Is Married
After stopping quarreling, the two governors were quite organized.
Governor Qin led them into the Governors’ Mansion, while Governor Sima headed straight for the inner courtyard of the mansion presumably to prepare something for them.
At the sight of this, Lin Mengya shook her head in her heart.
The two governors were rather interesting, but the Governors’ Mansion was built and decorated in two completely different styles.
However, at the thought that they intended to have a fight outside the Governors’ Mansion, Lin Mengya was not surprised at this.
After all, there were always be oddities around this big world.
“I heard from Brother Hou that you are going to the island in the middle of the lake? It is a very dangerous place, where ordinary people could get killed.” As soon as they sat down in the reception room in a serious atmosphere, Governor Qin went straight to the point and talked over the purpose of their visit with them.
“Although it’s very dangerous, my wife has to go. Your Excellency, please do us a favor,” Long Tianyu pleaded earnestly.
It was only when Lin Mengya heard the word ‘wife’ that she realized that the others, even including Governor Sima who had just got in, fixed their eyes on her.
“Ahem, ahem…” Lin Mengya tried to cover up her embarrassed look with a dry cough.
“Uh… I’ve been engaged to my cousin since childhood, and my cousin has given me betrothal presents this year,” she then explained.
Although she had told Long Tianyu not to reveal their relationship, since Long Tianyu said so, she could not refute it.
After all, they had been legally married after bowing to the Heaven and Earth and sleeping together.
She was just confused about why the two governors appeared to be so shocked.
Subconsciously touching her face, she thought perhaps she looked too young to be a married woman.
“Sir… you are this young lady’s fiance?” Sima Nan opened his eyes wide, glanced at the handsome man in black, and asked with an astonished and curious look.
Long Tianyu nodded without hesitation, held Lin Mengya’s hand and said, “Yes, she will be my only legal wife. Your Excellency, I’ll appreciate it if you can do us a favor.”
Even Lin Mengya almost choked on her saliva.
It didn’t seem to be the time to show off their affection for each other, as it would hurt others’ feelings.
However, Lin Mengya was unaware of what stunned them.
Sima Nan and Qin Libei exchanged looks and sensed something from each other’s eyes.
Gosh, their close friend, a wise and capable man who cared about nothing other than national affairs and had never fallen for any woman, now fell in love with a married woman!
Although she and her fiancé hadn’t held their wedding, they considered her married since her fiancé said that.
They stared at their close friend with some complicated emotions in their eyes.
Anyway, they thought the news so shocking.
“Well, I see. Since you are Brother Hou’s friend, you are also our friends. There is a path to the island in the middle of the lake every half a month. Anyone who wants to go to the island to gather medicinal herbs can only go there at that time. The day is coming in two days. You may as well stay h reacted ere, and I will personally take you to the island two days later.” Fortunately, Sima Nan, who reacted quickly, shifted the subject to business composedly.
Meanwhile, he stole a glance at Hou Yuetian who had shown a bitter look as he expected since Liu Yu said the word “wife”.
Alas, speaking of this, they would like to see what love had turned their friend, such a saint, into.
Unexpectedly, their friend fell for a married woman.
They involuntarily wondered what he had done so that he met with such a misfortune.
“Your Excellency, thank you for your help.” Lin Mengya expressed her gratitude with a smile.
Although she didn’t know why the atmosphere became so embarrassing, she did not forget her manners.
Then, at the insistence of Long Tianyu and Qinghu, they chose an inn in Jiang City to stay.
Now that they had caused the two governors a lot of trouble, they felt ashamed to stay in their mansion.
Moreover, the two governors personally walk them out of the Governors’ Mansion.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya asked Qinghu to select a few exquisite but not valuable objects out of what they brought with them and send these objects to the Governors’ Mansion as returned gifts.
She was reluctant to owe Hou Yuetian and his two friends a debt of gratitude and would definitely repay them if given the opportunity.
“Don’t worry. Since we have arrived in the Nation of Dongxia, we will get the medicinal material you need soon.” As Lin Mengya, who was sitting in the inn, looking out of the window and lost in thought, heard Long Tianyu’s voice, she was suddenly pulled into his arms.
Leaning against his familiar and firm chest, Lin Mengya relaxed and enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.
She said, “I’ve never worried about it. With you around, I’ll be fine. By the way, Lin Kui seems to be working very hard these days. Since you’ve brought so many guards with you, why do you have to assign all tasks to him?”
Long Tianyu gently picked her up from the wheelchair, went up to a large couch, and lay on it with her in his arms, thinking she had been increasingly thin these days.
She somehow lost the weight he had cooperated with more than a dozen cooks in their mansion to help her gain before.
As he thought, he fetched a blanket and placed it on the woman in his arms. After that, he stretched out his hand to fetch an official document from the desk.
The official documents on the desk were secretly sent from the Jin State by his father, the Emperor. What Lin Mengya talked about just now was that Lin Kui went out to fetch them, in which his father assigned him tasks, at midnight every day.
“It’s okay, he can rest during the day. You must be tired. Get some sleep.” After saying that, he gently kissed her forehead.
Since he arrived here, he had been personally arranging Lin Mengya’s clothing, food, shelter and transportation.
Perhaps because of Long Tianyu’s company, Lin Mengya put her mind at ease.
She, who had suffered from poor sleep for long, had much better sleep in Long Tianyu’s arms every night.
Nestling in his warm embrace, Lin Mengya gradually felt sleepy.
She yawned and fell asleep in his arms like a kitten.
“Your Highness, Her Highness…” Lin Mengya had not fallen asleep for long when a secret agent barged in rashly and said.
Long Tianyu gave the secret agent a hard look, and the secret agent immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head, and dared not speak anything else.
“Get out,” he just answered with two words, no longer as gentle as when he spoke to Lin Mengya.
The secret agent did not dare to stay any longer and got out immediately.
Long Tianyu reluctantly withdrew his arms and whispered in her ear, “I’ll be back soon. Wait for me.”
Lin Mengya, who had fallen asleep at this moment, only got the general meaning of his words. She nodded and let go of his arms.
After tucking her in patiently, Long Tianyu tidied his clothes and walked out of the room.
For the sake of their safety, they had rented the entire inn.
“What’s wrong?” after getting into another room, Long Tianyu looked at his subordinate in front of him indifferently and asked with his face darkening.
“Your Highness, Her Highness’s family members seemed to have been ambushed on their way to the Nation of Lintian and are missing now,” the secret agent, who respectfully knelt on the ground, said and presented an envelope with both hands.
Long Tianyu furrowed his brows and opened the envelope immediately.
After glancing over at the letter, he even frowned more tightly.
Although Lin Mengya did not tell him the truth, he knew that her family members had returned to either their hometown or the Nation of Lintian to stay away from trouble for the time being.
Therefore, he just sent some guards to protect them in secret along the way.
In order to cover up their tracks, he even assigned the guards unrelated tasks and just deployed a few inconspicuous trusted subordinates among the guards to protect them along the way.
Moreover, Lin Muzhi and Lin Nansheng were both good at martial arts and strategy.
Why were they attacked en route and missing?
Unless…
“Tell our men to search strictly along the way. Remember not to alarm the local officers or expose your traces. Once you get any news, report it to me in time.” Long Tianyu gave instructions.
“Got it,” the secret agent answered solemnly.
After getting Long Tianyu’s order, he left in an instant.
In the room, after thinking for a while, Long Tianyu took out a fire starter and burned the letter.
But when he raised his head, Qinghu, dressed in green, appeared in front of him with a serious look.
“We should hide this from her. She is too weak to take this,” Qinghu said.
He considered Lin Mengya more important than anyone or anything.
To put it bluntly, he even considered her father and brother couldn’t compare with a single hair of her.
However, she valued them a lot.
Although she was weak and seriously sick, she still struggled to make proper arrangements for her family members and companions.
If she were to find out about this, the bad news would kill her.
“I know. Since you learn this, so will others. I think you know what you should tell your subordinates,” Long Tianyu said.
Although Lin Mengya’s father and brother had been missing, as things stood now, Qinghu must have received no news of it yet.
But Long Tianyu knew Lin Mengya’s too well. Although she couldn’t send people to follow her father and brother, she must have come up with some ways to exchange messages with her father and brother.
Since he intended to hide the news from her, he had to fake messages from her father and brother.
Although Lin Mengya did not tell him the truth, Qinghu must know it.
Looking into Long Tianyu’s serious eyes, Qinghu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
The last thing he wanted to do in his life was to deceive her.
However, he had no choice but to do this for the sake of her health.
“I will handle this properly,” he said.
