The next day, a scream that pierced the heavens erupted at the entrance of Duke Lin's mansion, immediately drawing a crowd.
Lin Mengzhi was covered head to toe in all sorts of insects, and was sticky and slimy.
The insects crawled on her face and head, biting her everywhere.
"Wuwuwu—"
"Help!"
Lin Mengzhi was woken up by the biting insects. She struggled to open her eyes, looked down, and saw countless insects crawling all over her body and on her face. She cried out in fear.
Passersby, seeing Lin Mengzhi hanging at the entrance of Duke Lin's mansion, also curiously gathered, pointing and chattering…
"Who is this person? Why is she hanging at the entrance of Duke Lin's mansion? And covered in all sorts of disgusting insects." a passerby muttered.
"This person is a woman, and she's wearing a night-blooming outfit. Could it be that one of Duke Lin's concubines was caught by Duke Lin last night while having an affair and was hung here?" another passerby scoffed.
The crowd burst into laughter: "Haha—"
"What you said is possible. I have a relative whose relative works in Duke Lin's mansion. He told me that Duke Lin recently took many young and beautiful concubines, but Duke Lin is not young anymore and must be powerless in bed. One or two must be sneaking out for some fun. Hehe!"
"Haha…"
The crowd laughed again.
What the man said was utterly indecent, but Lin Mengzhi dared not reveal her identity in front of these people. Otherwise, if these people knew her identity, who knows what unpleasant things they would say, and she would wish she were dead.
At this moment, more and more insects crawled onto Lin Mengzhi. Many even crawled on her eyelids. She was extremely panicked.
"Wuwuwu—"
Why aren't those damn guards coming out to open the door yet?
Once this county princess is rescued, I will definitely kill those guards, and that damn Leng Ruo Li.
"Someone, hurry and let me down!!!"
"I'm being bitten to death!"
"Wuwuwu—"
"Who is it, making such a racket at the entrance of my Duke Lin's mansion so early in the morning."
At this time, two guards from Duke Lin's mansion slowly walked out, grumbling and still drowsy.
He opened the gate of Duke Lin's mansion and saw a person dressed in black hanging at the entrance, covered in crawling insects that made one's scalp tingle, which startled them both.
"Hurry and let me down!"
Lin Mengzhi roared at the two guards.
"Who are you? How dare you come to the entrance of Duke Lin's mansion to court death." one of the guards said.
"If you two want to live, hurry and let me down," Lin Mengzhi said through gritted teeth.
The other guard found Lin Mengzhi's voice familiar. He looked up and took a closer look at Lin Mengzhi, and was greatly shocked.
"This… this seems to be the County…"
The last character "Princess" was not spoken. This guard immediately thought of something and stopped.
Lin Zhenfei and Madam Lin, upon hearing the commotion outside, also came out and were stunned to see the figure hanging at the entrance.
Isn't this Mengzhi?
Why was she hung at their doorstep? And covered in insects.
"Quick, quick, quick, go get a ladder and quickly let her down."
Madam Lin, upon recognizing her daughter, hurriedly urged the servants to bring a ladder and let Lin Mengzhi down.
The previously foolish guard, upon seeing the person being brought down, trembled all over.
Good heavens, this person covered in insects was their County Princess.
Wuwuwu…
The two of them were surely finished this time!
After the servants brought Lin Mengzhi down, Madam Lin rushed forward to help her daughter remove the insects, but there were too many, and she was so slimy that her hands couldn't catch them all.
Lin Zhenfei, standing by the side, had not yet recovered from the shock.
What is going on?
His daughter was actually hung on their door lintel.
A moment later, after Lin Mengzhi recovered, she stood up, walked to a guard standing beside Lin Zhenfei, drew his sword, and stabbed each of the two guards who had opened the door with a sword.
This made the onlookers scream loudly, but it quickly quieted down.
Everyone secretly thought: This woman is too vicious!
Then, with a gloomy expression, she ran back to her courtyard and ordered the servants to bring more than a dozen buckets of hot water to bathe. She almost scrubbed off a layer of skin, yet she still felt insects crawling on her.
After Lin Mengzhi cleaned herself and put on her clothes, she walked to the dressing table and looked at her face. Seeing her face covered in red bumps, she collapsed and screamed, immediately pushing all the gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments on her dressing table to the ground.
"Ah—"
"Leng Ruo Li, I will kill you!"
Outside the room, Lin Zhenfei and Madam Lin, hearing Lin Mengzhi's voice, quickly pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing their daughter's face swollen like a pig's head, they were also greatly frightened.
Their once beautiful daughter was harmed to this state, how could she live?
"Wuwuwu—"
Madam Lin walked forward, hugged Lin Mengzhi, and burst into tears.
Lin Zhenfei was also furious, wishing he could tear apart the person who had disfigured his daughter.
Lin Mengzhi was his most proud daughter. Not only was she intelligent, but she was also very beautiful. Most importantly, she could connect with that person, which was very useful to him, Lin Zhenfei.
"Mother, it's all that bitch Leng Ruo Li who harmed me like this," Lin Mengzhi cried hysterically.
"What? It's that little bitch again. I, your mother, will personally go settle the score with her."
Madam Lin, upon hearing Leng Ruo Li's name again, was almost angered to death. This little bitch had harmed both of her children in one night. She, Qin Minzhi, would never let this go.
"Wuwuwu—
"Mother, with me looking like this, how will I ever face people again!"
Lin Mengzhi cried sadly.
This made Madam Lin angrier the more she thought about it.
After coaxing Lin Mengzhi to sleep, she immediately took a group of people towards General Leng's mansion.
Even Lin Zhenfei followed Madam Lin to General Leng's mansion. He wanted to ask Leng Jin Yu how he raised his daughter.
When Madam Lin and Lin Zhenfei arrived at General Leng's mansion with a group of people, Leng Jin Yu and Leng Ruo Li were both practicing martial arts in their respective courtyards.
Butler Qi, who was instructing the servants to clean the entrance, saw the group of people entering from the entrance and quickly understood their purpose for coming to the General's mansion, but he still had to pretend to be oblivious.
"May I know the important matter that Duke Lin has come to General Leng's mansion for so early in the morning?"
Butler Qi stepped forward and asked politely.
"Where is Leng Jin Yu? I want to see him!" Lin Zhenfei said angrily.
"My General is practicing martial arts in his own courtyard."
Butler Qi replied to Lin Zhenfei with a calm expression.
Lin Zhenfei: "Call him out for me!"
Madam Lin: "Also call out that little bitch Leng Ruo Li!"
Lin Zhenfei and his wife were like they had swallowed explosives, their tone of voice was very aggressive.
After Butler Qi led the couple into the main hall, he instructed a servant to call Leng Ruo Li, and personally went to Leng Jin Yu's Xilin Courtyard.
