Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 870 The Banquet in the Xin Family

After waiting for a long while, Lin Mengya suddenly sighed when she saw that Baisu would not say it out so easily.

"Since you don't tell me, I'll go and ask him myself."

After saying that, Lin Mengya pretended to get up and was about to leave the room.

Baisu immediately stepped in front of her anxiously, and her pretty face was already struggling with anxiety.

"Miss, in fact, the Young Master did this for your own good! Someone with malicious intentions has exposed that you saved the Young Master in Dajin. Although those people don't know your real identity, they know that the elder sister whom the Young Master cares about most is the one who saved him in Dajin, so… so the Young Master…"

Lin Mengya frowned slightly as she stared at Baisu, leaving her no room for retreat.

"So Xiaoyu took advantage of this banquet to change the identities of me and Ningqiu, right? Who asked you to do so? Don't you know that the consequence of doing this is just to put Ningqiu into danger?"

The plan they had come up with previously was to let Ningqiu pretend to be the daughter of Madame Jingrou.

Because Xin Luan was on their side, although the plan was very difficult, they managed to implement it.

Now that Xiaoyu was trying to confuse these two identities, it was obvious that he was trying to divert all the attention to Ningqiu.

It was already very dangerous to become the chosen witch.

In this way, she was afraid that someone might try to kill Ningqiu.

"No, we could never do that!"

"Miss, I know that you have always been clear about what to love or hate. You have never been willing to use innocent people as the scapegoat. But this is the best way. Not only the Xin Family, but almost everyone who has their eyes on that position wants to get you to threaten the Young Master. Ningqiu has also agreed to this matter. And once Ningqiu becomes the chosen witch of the Xin Family, the Xin Family will definitely do their best to protect her."

Baisu knelt on the ground with a thud. Lin Mengya shook her head with a touch of disappointment in her eyes.

"I've never been a pedantic person. I understand the so-called righteousness. But Baisu, it's never the true righteousness to sacrifice others for it. If you can't even protect the person in front of you, and if you can't keep your promise to others, then what kind of righteousness is that? I don't want that kind of ruthless protection, and I don't want to be a big shot who can sacrifice others at will in exchange for his own safety. I'm just me myself, and Ningqiu is just Ningqiu herself. Our lives are equal. There is no distinction between the high and the low. Please forgive me for not being able to agree with that. So please get out of my way. I can't just watch Ningqiu do stupid things with Xiaoyu.

Baisu looked into Lin Mengya's eyes. At this moment, she was neither happy nor sad. She even didn't show any emotion.

She lowered her head and tried her best to hold back her sorrow.

How could she not know the character of her Miss? That was why the Young Master had handed over the task of watching over her Miss to her.

But in the end, she couldn't refuse her Miss, and disobey her orders.

Baisu stood up and turned sideways. Although she lowered her head, her eyes were firm.

"Baisu, if you're in a dilemma, you can stay here. I'll be fine with Qinghu by my side."

She knew that her words just now might be a little too much, and she also knew that Baisu did it for her own good.

But Baisu shook her head and said, "No, you're right, Miss. Actually, I also know why we were all so loyal to you at that time. Because we know that after we follow you, you will treat us as your family members and will never abandon us. This is also what we admire you the most. So, no matter where you go, Baisu will follow you."

Lin Mengya was slightly stunned for a moment, then she lifted the corner of her mouth and smiled.

Yes, perhaps she was a fool in the eyes of others.

But fools also had their strengths, right?

"Hey, you two are really having a good time. Why don't you take me with you?"

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and Qinghu, who was smiling, looked at Lin Mengya in front of him leisurely.

He knew that his little girl was very stubborn, but he liked her stubbornness.

"You're all over the place. But since you're here, I have a better way to sneak into the banquet. We can't wait any longer. Let's go."

In Yushan County, the biggest force was neither the royal family nor the forces of the green woods.

Instead, it was the Xin Family, which was well-known throughout Lieyun.

The Xin Family's banquet attracted the attention of all the influential people in the whole Yushan County.

But the theme of today's banquet was to welcome a special person.

The Ninth Prince, Wanyan Yu, was the only prince who grew up in the folk but had very strong supporters.

Moreover, at the Meeting of Venomous Insects a few days ago, he had defeated almost all the venomous insects brought by the princes with overwhelming advantages.

People couldn't help comparing this rising star with Wanyan Jing, the Eldest Prince who had been famous for a long time.

However, to everyone's surprise, this Ninth Prince's venomous insect was no weaker than Wanyan Jing's. In fact, it might even be stronger!

This discovery made the name of Wanyan Yu famous throughout the land of Lieyun.

Now, the person that the Xin Family was going to welcome was actually such a young man. Their intention made people's thoughts throng their minds.

But the Xin Family had already announced early that the Ninth Prince came here just for public business.

In this way, those people with ulterior motives could not find any evidence to frame the Xin Family.

The night was intoxicating. By the time Lin Mengya and the other two arrived at the Xin Family's house, they could already hear the decadent music inside.

There were many guards patrolling at the gate. It was impossible for unrelated people to get close to the gate, let alone enter.

"It's not very troublesome to deal with these people. Little girl, do you want me to handle them?"

Qinghu hid in a corner, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

But Baisu immediately stopped him. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't underestimate the Xin Family. Almost all the masters of venomous insects in Lieyun are gathered in the Xin Family. You see, these guards are not good at martial arts, but each of them has various kinds of venomous insects on them. As long as they are abnormal, the people inside will immediately know. At that time, I'm afraid we will be in trouble."

With Baisu's introduction, Lin Mengya's lips curved into a smile, as if she didn't care at all.

"Miss, do you have a good idea?"

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at those coquettish and beautiful figures who quickly entered the vermilion gate. She had an idea in her mind.

"How about this way?"

Today, the Xin Family's old house was full of eminent guests. They toasted each other and it was very bustling.

The banquet was held in an open-air garden. Several elders of the Xin Family were sitting on the honored seats, and the person sitting side by side with them was the Ninth Prince of Lieyun Empire, Wanyan Yu, who was in the full flush of youth.

However, at this time, Wanyan Yu, who usually kept a calm face, intentionally or unintentionally cast his eyes on the woman who was sitting quietly at the banquet.

He thought that no one could see his actions, but he didn't expect that all his little moves had been seen by others.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, Rou'er's child has grown up to be such a young man. Is your mother used to living in the palace?"

Sitting on the left side of Wanyan Yu was the current head of the Xin Family, Xin Mu.

In terms of seniority, he should be Xin Luan's cousin, as well as the younger brother of Madame Jingrou.

Originally, the head of the Xin Family was the Madam's biological elder brother.

However, he was stripped of his position as patriarch because he failed to watch over his own sister twenty years ago.

But he was extremely powerful. Even if he was not the patriarch, he was still the most important clan elder in the Xin Family.

Because Xin Mu was his younger brother, he naturally had to listen to him.

Therefore, the current Xin Family was still under the control of Madam's elder brother.

However, it made little difference to Xiaoyu.

"Thank you for your concern. My mother is safe and sound. But she often recalls the time she spent here. After all, this place used to be her family."

Xiaoyu's smile was chivalrous, elegant and refined. He did not look like the cold and heartless Ninth Prince in the rumors at all.

A meaningful smile appeared on Xin Mu's face, but his expression became more and more affectionate and amiable.

"Yes, we used to be innocent and lively. But I'm actually the Ninth Prince's uncle. So you don't have to be so polite. Your mother's affairs have long passed, so you can refrain from being so formal."

"Have long passed? How could it be that simple?"

Wanyan Yu sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he looked more and more obedient and kind.

"My uncle, you're right. It's my fault. But why didn't I see my eldest uncle? Could it be that he is still blaming me?"

Wanyan Yu clearly knew that the mysterious eldest uncle was the only one who could make the final decision in this family.

But he had been here for several days. Why didn't he see the figure of the clan elder of the Xin Family?

"That's not true. Your eldest uncle and your mother are the closest to each other. How could he blame you? But these days, when he heard that you were coming, he was so excited that there was something wrong with his technique of venomous insects. It will only take three or five days to make it well. You don't have to worry."

"Excited? It seemed that he was restless."

Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to ask more questions about it. After chatting with his second uncle for a while, he continued to talk about the topic again.

"Speaking of which, my eldest uncle and second uncle have never seen me before, right? Now that I've met you, my second uncle, I feel as if I've met my family member. I wonder if my eldest uncle is as kind as you, my second uncle?"

Along the way, Xiaoyu felt one thing.

In fact, everyone in the Xin Family held quite a bit of hostility against him.

The source of this hostility was his mother, who abandoned her identity as the chosen witch, and resolutely chose to follow his father.

But how could he be frightened?

"I'm afraid your eldest uncle… is different from me. But you're our biological nephew, so you're naturally different from others. You don't have to worry too much. Your eldest uncle has always been sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Maybe he will like you very much when he sees you in the future."
