Though the little boy did not show her any respect along the way, he did not do anything out of line either.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya had gotten to know the boy well.

Considering the environment he had grown up in, it was natural for him to be so arrogant, introverted, and eccentric.

Therefore, Lin Mengya only treated him as a child who was stroppy.

It was just that Zhu Yun had once told her to teach Zhu Yan well. This child was very smart, decisive, and different from ordinary children.

Looking at Zhu Yan, Lin Mengya somehow thought of Lin Zhongyu.

That boy used to be cold-hearted as well, but in the end, he learned to be gentle and forbearing.

He was quiet and aloof, while Zhu Yan was outgoing and hot-tempered. Both of them were very unruly and unyielding.

Children like them were destined to be extraordinary, but at the same time, they needed careful guidance.

“I’m not your servant!”

Zhu Yan had a cold look in his eyes, but it could barely hide his nervousness.

Though he had grown up in a place like Huichun House, he had always been by the side of the owner of the house, so he was used to browbeating others with the owner’s influence.

Now, he had come to a totally strange place, and as a young boy, it was natural for him to feel uneasy.

However, the people in Lin Mengya’s yard, though in a large number, didn’t show any hostility toward him.

They just looked at him curiously. Zhu Yan, however, was at a loss as to what to do in such a friendly and stable environment.

Lin Mengya only felt that Zhu Yan was like a little bluffing kitten at the moment.

She hid the amusement in her eyes, afraid that it would piss Zhu Yan off and make him antagonistic.

“Of course, you’re my guest. But your master said you should follow my order after you came here. I just have some girls in my yard, so how about you help me take care of my two pets?”

Zhu Yan’s expression changed slightly. He secretly shifted his gaze to the two pets who were lying on the ground and playing cute by Lin Mengya’s feet.

Though Snow and the baby tiger were raised in the mansion, they were still very wild.

The haughtiness in their eyes showed that they were unwilling to bow down to the young boy. Zhu Yan’s interest was instantly piqued.

He took a few steps forward, but before he could get close to the two pets, Snow stood up. As a wolf king, its aura was majestic and superior as ever.

To everyone’s surprise, after scornfully glancing at Zhu Yan, Snow walked away holding its head high with the baby tiger.

When they passed by Zhu Yan, they didn’t even spare a single glance for him as if it were not them who had been lying by Lin Mengya’s feet and playing cute.

Zhu Yan stared at the wolf and the tiger, his face filled with amazement.

“Haha—”

Xiu was the first one present who burst out laughing.

Though at a similar age, they were incompatible with each other like water and fire, and would never submit to each other.

Whenever they met, there would always be a quarrel.

Though Lin Mengya told her not to, Xiu still seized every chance to mock Zhu Yan harshly.

“You—humph, I’ll make them follow my lead!”

Zhu Yan was such a proud boy that he could not put up with Xiu’s mockery.

His face flushed with anger. After giving Xiu a fierce look, he chased after the two pets out of the door.

After everything was arranged, Lin Mengya picked up the cup and covered the smile around her mouth corner.

It seemed to her that it would not be quiet in the mansion in the future.

Since she returned to the mansion, the people in the Liuxin Courtyard had been busy.

In addition to the stuff she brought back with her from the Nation of Lintian, Cousin Chen and Cousin Yu also gave her many treasures, afraid that she would be aggrieved after going back to the mansion.

As a result, her storehouse, which had been packed, was filled to the brim now.

However, Lin Mengya had always been generous. This time, all the servants in Prince Yu’s Mansion, no matter which house or courtyard they were from, had been rewarded with a generous gift.

Since Baiji and Baishao were in charge of all these things, Lin Mengya only needed to make some decisions on important matters.

“Miss, you’ve been there for such a long time. Have you met any Madam’s old acquaintances?”

Lin Mengya, who had changed into a blue, soft outfit with the pattern of Magic Lotus, was sitting lazily on the couch in the luxurious inner room and reading a book.

The sweet fragrance lingering in the room helped her concentrate and filled her with a peaceful feeling. No matter how many things she had to handle, she no longer felt annoyed.

Baizhi sat beside Lin Mengya with smiling eyes and massaged Lin Mengya’s legs with her fists.

Ms. Tian, who was sitting beside Lin Mengya, too, wore a warm smile on her face as she peeled a sweet kumquat from Jinzhou, placed it in front of Lin Mengya, and chatted with her about family affairs.

“Yes, I’ve met many of them. My grandparents’ family was really an eye-opener. Nanny, you’ve been with my mom for so long. Didn’t she reveal anything to you?”

Lin Mengya put down the book in her hand and looked at Ms. Tian, with her watery eyes full of confusion.

Although Lin Mengya had guessed that her maternal grandparents came from extraordinary families, she did not expect them to be members of the royal families of the Nation of Lintian.

Moreover, after she experienced so many unimaginable things, her mother’s image seemed to have become more vivid in her mind.

This image was added with some halos and mysteries. Lin Mengya wondered how smart her mother was that she was rendered a piece in the chaotic times under the control of the Candle Dragon Cult.

Ms. Tian smiled and looked like she was recalling her memory.

As she looked at Lin Mengya’s pretty and smiling face, she recalled what happened more than 20 years ago.

“Back when I first entered the mansion, Madam just married Master. I had never seen any woman more beautiful and meeker than Madam. Master treated her well, and no matter how busy he was, he would go home to have dinner with her. Later, Young Master was born, and both Madam and Master were very happy. At that time, no one could be more striking than Madam in the Capital City.”

As a matter of fact, what Lin Mengya had heard from others supported Ms. Tian’s words.

As the most favored princess of the Nation of Lintian, Lin Mengya’s mother was matchless in terms of beauty and temperament.

Even after such a long time, those old friends in the Nation of Lintian still remembered Lin Mengya’s mother’s appearance very clearly.

They all said that Lin Mengya looked like her mother very much.

It was no wonder that they could recognize her as Zuo Shuqing’s daughter at first glance.

“Madam was not only beautiful but also intelligent and had a pure mind. Her medical skills were second to none. At that time, there was a lady who almost died because of a difficult delivery. Her family thought she was dead and put her into a coffin, but Madam told them that she had a way to save her. Later, Madam really brought the lady back to life with one medicine and helped her give birth to the child smoothly. In the end, the mother and the child were both safe. However, a kind person like Madam, who had done so many good deeds, was finally… Alas, probably, it was just like what people usually said, a physician could hardly cure himself.”

With a sigh, Ms. Tian gently covered Lin Mengya’s hands with her own big rough hands, and Lin Mengya had a complicated look on her face.

“My child, don’t blame yourself. Before your mother passed away, she held my hand and told me to tell you when you grew up that the people she loved the most were you, Master, and Young Master. She said she never regretted giving birth to you, and she was willing to have you born safe and sound at any cost.”

Lin Mengya felt tightness in her chest.

She had never felt the joy of being with her mother for even a moment, but now she understood a mother’s love for her child.

Back then, Zuo Shuqing must have risked her life to give birth to her daughter.

Perhaps she could travel to this space from another space back then just because God couldn’t bear to see the owner of this body, who was given birth at the cost of her mother’s life, die.

Lin Mengya was not sad because everything about her mother was still around her all the time.

Even though her mother had passed away, she had arranged everything for her about her entire life.

Lin Mengya suppressed those sad emotions in her heart, and she suddenly recalled a detail told by Ms. Tian.

“Nanny, you just said that my mother had saved a lady from dying of a difficult delivery, right? Did my mother tell you how she managed to save that lady? And they all said that my mother died of giving birth to me. Do you still remember the details?”

Looking at Lin Mengya, who suddenly became so shrewd, Ms. Tian felt relieved.

She did not mention the past because she was afraid of bringing up the sad memories of Lin Mengya.

Now that Lin Mengya had grown up, it was natural for her to feel relieved to tell her something.

Upon hearing Lin Mengya’s question, Ms. Tian thought for a while before replying slowly.

“It was said that because of the abnormal fetal position, that lady couldn’t deliver to the child for a long time. Madam said the lady was exhausted, so it was difficult for her to give birth. Later, after the lady took the medicine prescribed by Madam, she regained her strength and finally delivered the baby safely. Back when Madam gave birth to you, she also took this medicine, but she suffered metrorrhagia, and the physicians in the city couldn’t help her. As a result, she passed away three days later after she gave birth to you.”

At this moment, Lin Mengya was beginning to feel suspicious after hearing what Ms. Tian said.

People always thought it was easy for women to give birth, but in fact, it could be really dangerous.

It was as if putting one foot in the grave.

“Delivery could be really different for different women. Perhaps I’m being too suspicious,” Lin Mengya thought to herself.

She massaged her temples. Since she came back from the Nation of Lintian, she had become more suspicious and thoughtful.

Thinking of this, she forced a smile. She was afraid that she would suspect everyone she met of being a schemer.

“The anniversary of my mother’s death is in a few days. I want to offer incense to her. Nanny, I’ll have to trouble you to arrange for this.”

Ms. Tian naturally agreed. With her taking care of everything, there wouldn’t be any mistakes.
