Chapter 871 Pretending to be Dancers

It was impossible for that person to like him. However, Wanyan Yu did not reveal this matter. He just pursed his lips to show his delight and continued to accept the compliments of those people.

Although he was young, his mind was more mature than that of ordinary people.

Xiaoyu accepted all those sweet words with stings in them word for word.

He pretended to be innocent on the surface, but in fact, he had seen through these people’s tricks at a glance.

“Your Highness, the group of singers and dancers you brought has arrived. I don’t know if we can let them in now.”

A guard reported respectfully in front of Xiaoyu, whose eyes crossed with a slight surprise.

He had never invited any singer or dancer. Could it be them—

“Well, you can bring them in. I’ll go and have a look in person later. This is a gift I present to my uncles.”

He seemed to be relaxed, but only Xiaoyu himself knew how nervous he was.

It seemed that Baisu failed to stop his sister.

A touch of scruple swept over his heart. There were so many people here. If his sister was recognized, they would only be more dangerous.

Or later, he would find a chance to cover his sister and the others to let them leave first.

“This way, please.”

The guard brought them to a very elegant parlor. With a strange look in his eyes, he glanced at the three people and then drew back his sight.

He must have never seen dancers dressed like this.

“I’ve already sent someone to report to the Ninth Prince. Please wait here. The Prince will come here soon.”

Lin Mengya nodded. The guards of the Xin Family were even stricter than she had imagined.

Although she had Xiaoyu’s token in her hand, she was still kept out of the gate.

But also because of Xiaoyu’s token, the guard was willing to inform Xiaoyu in the room.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to enter the door.

The guard closed the door and gradually left the parlor.

After making sure that there was no one outside, Baisu dared to lean over Lin Mengya’s ear and talked to her quietly.

“Miss, is it really okay for you to dress like this?”

She looked up and down at her Miss, outside in a moon-white brocade gown with a loose skirt that just barely covered her ankles.

This was not the worst, but the clothes the Miss was wearing underneath—

“Could it really be called clothes? If the Prince knew that Miss was so bold, he would definitely tear her apart.”

“What could be wrong with that? A dancer should look like a dancer. What’s wrong with wearing a costume? Are you afraid that I can’t handle it?”

The white veil covered her beautiful face, but today, Lin Mengya looked a little different.

Her clear and bright eyes were now delicately drawn into slightly upturned eyes.

Her silver-gray eyeliners made her eyes look particularly striking and seductive.

In particular, when the Miss looked back unintentionally, it could be called charming and astonishing.

“Was it really okay for such a Miss to appear in front of others later?”

“My little girl, could you slightly change your plan? That dress is really not suitable for you. How about putting it on me?”

Qinghu, who was also dressed in a moon-white gown, had changed his usual look today. He was dressed like a man.

However, his face was also covered with the same style of makeup as Lin Mengya’s.

If there was any difference, it would be that his long hair was carefully tied on his head, which made him look cold but elegant.

Of course, the premise was that the glint of obvious mockery at the corner of his eyes was eliminated.

“Get out of my way! Don’t judge my costume with your perverted fetish for women’s clothing. If you mess it up later, I’ll take you down when I go back!”

Lin Mengya tripped Qinghu unscrupulously. The tense atmosphere before was ruined by this guy.

But fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long. A slender figure came in a hurry.

Lin Mengya, as rehearsed in advance, asked Baisu and Qinghu to pay their respects to Xiaoyu loudly with exotic dialects.

“Your Highness, we are here to receive orders and are at your disposal.”

After all, they didn’t have much experience, so Lin Mengya was mainly responsible for those important words.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu had the wit to react quickly and immediately understood what Lin Mengya meant.

After glancing at a corner, he held back his desire to help his sister up.

“Why do you come so late? The banquet is almost halfway through. Don’t you want to embarrass me by coming here now?”

Xiaoyu said in a disgruntled manner. Lin Mengya and the other two looked frightened.

After they led Xiaoyu into the room, the people outside could not hear what they were saying.

“Sister, didn’t I tell you to stay at home obediently? Why do you come here? This is not the place where you should come.”

Seeing that Xiaoyu was even scolding them, Lin Mengya was not anxious or annoyed.

“Xiaoyu, I don’t want to come. But you know that there are some things that you can’t hide from me for all your life.

“In this case, I don’t want you to do anything against my will.”

That Ningqiu was willing to be the chosen witch was already of great help to them.

How could she let Ningqiu become her scapegoat for the sake of temporary peace?

She didn’t want to do it, and she would never do it.

“I know, but it’s all for your own good, my sister. You don’t know how vicious and cruel these people are. If they catch you, you’ll get hurt for sure!”

Xiaoyu felt very wronged. He did this all because he was worried about his sister.

But why couldn’t his sister understand his painstaking efforts?

“I know you’re worried about me, but Xiaoyu, you should know what you’ll do if they really catch Ningqiu. Will you abandon her or save her as if you saved me?”

Xiaoyu froze. In fact, he had thought about this question before.

Although the relationship between Ningqiu and him was not bad, the master-servant relationship between them was actually nothing to him at all compared with his relationship with his sister.

In this case, it would be better to—

“Xiaoyu, wake up! If you really abandon Ningqiu, it means that you have abandoned the kindness in your heart. If one day, you and I can only choose one to live, who will you choose?”

Of course, he would choose Lin Mengya. On this point, Xiaoyu was very confident.

But Lin Mengya shook her head and said, “Abandonment is a habit. Once you get used to it, your family and friends will be abandoned by you when they become your burden.”

Xiaoyu knew that Lin Mengya was right, but he was still unwilling to admit it.

“I won’t abandon you, my sister. Definitely not!”

Lin Mengya touched his head, and said softly, “I know you’re a gentle child, so, in order to protect your tenderness, we can’t let the matter of Ningqiu end like this. You haven’t told them about her relationship with you, have you? In this case, it’s not too late. Xiaoyu, please listen to my words.”

He couldn’t refuse. Even if he had already persuaded himself, he still couldn’t resist Lin Mengya’s request.

He could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed that what his sister said was right. He was a little short-sighted.

“However, I still need to thank you.”

When Wanyan Yu heard Lin Mengya’s brisk voice, he thought that he was going to be hated. But instead, he saw his sister’s gentle smile.

“I know you’re worried about me, but I’m also worried about you. So, we should be all right. Let’s just follow the original plan. You don’t have to worry about other things.”

Their original plan was to announce to the public that Ningqiu and Xiaoyu were a pair of twins. For various reasons, Xiaoyu had to be kept outside before.

But Ningqiu, as a daughter in the royal family, had to bear the fate and be a little maid in the palace.

Had it not been for the return of the Ninth Prince, their secrets wouldn’t have been discovered.

Fortunately, Madam really liked Ningqiu very much before, so the dramatic story of her background was detectable.

“That’s OK. What I didn’t expect was that Ningqiu seemed to be exceptionally popular but I didn’t say anything.”

Xiaoyu spread out his hands to show that he was also very helpless.

Lin Mengya immediately pushed him back to the banquet to prevent Ningqiu from being bullied or framed.

The rest three of them continued to study how to get out later.

If they didn’t want to alert the enemy, it would be best to go back the way they came.

But they came here in the name of dancers. And now they had to leave without dancing once.

Not to mention those guards, even Lin Mengya felt that their group was a little suspicious.

“Are you the dancers invited by the Ninth Prince? I’m too abrupt. Now the banquet is at its peak. So may I invite you to sing and dance to liven things up?”

As soon as Lin Mengya pushed the door open, she saw a middle-aged man who was slightly thin but very energetic.

This man was very strange to her. Lin Mengya could not figure out his identity for a while.

But since he could come here, he could not be a simple person.

After bowing down, she squeezed her voice to a high pitch and said, “Thank you so much, Your Excellency. Lian’er, quickly serve some tea.”

In order to sneak into the mansion of the Xin Family safely, they each got another name.

“Yes, master.”

Baisu, who had taken the name of Lian’er, poured tea out on the table and Lin Mengya immediately presented it with both hands.

But the man didn’t drink it or take it. He just stared at Lin Mengya straightly.

“Is there anything wrong with my face?”

With a veil over her face, it was impossible for ordinary people to see anything.

But her charming and intriguing eyes stunned Xin Mu slightly.

“Was this woman really just a dancer?

“Wasn’t her a little too glamourous?”

“There’s nothing inappropriate. Please get ready. Don’t let us down.”

Although the pair of bright eyes made Xin Mu lose his mind for a moment just now, after all, he was the patriarch of the Xin Family.

So, Xin Mu soon came to his senses and returned to normal.
