An Zichen, who was about to collapse, slowly calmed down his emotions that were about to spill out.
Ten seconds later, An Zichen was still the gentle young man, but in Lin Mengya's heart, he had a different assessment.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late.
She also gradually understood many things.
"I'm not that noble either. My father was from the Gong family and his status was not high. He came to the An family as a wife. However, his character and quality were highly appreciated by my grandfather. That's why I won this opportunity. Fourth Uncle We are already on the same level as Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Dong is the right-hand man of Fourth Uncle. I got rid of him to make my grandfather and Uncle Jiu value me more. We are human beings and have selfish motives, and so do I."
Lin Mengya pursed her lips and finally burst out into a smile.
This guy is so honest and cute.
Probably he feels that it is not the behavior of a gentleman to use others to achieve his own goals.
Therefore, he put a layer of mud on his character.
A true gentleman is also a true villain. She has never been able to feel too much resentment towards people like An Zichen.
But a small revenge on him is still okay.
Only, not now.
"That's fine. They are trapped there. They really can't survive or die. But aren't you afraid that they will collude with the local families and become the local overlords there?"
An Zichen looked at her, frowning slightly, and then looked at the smile on her face, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"It seems that I have to agree to your conditions."
Lin Mengya smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Let me tell you the truth, whether you agree or not, I will kill Uncle Dong and his gang. However, you can't silence me. Therefore, you should try your best to agree to the conditions I put forward. good."
"Are you threatening me?"
An Zichen couldn't laugh or cry. How could he threaten others like this
"Yeah, that's right."
Lin Mengya nodded, her eyes so sincere that he could not ignore them.
"Okay, I agree to your request. In fact, before coming here, my grandfather also told me to tell you the truth. The An family is now divided into two factions. One faction is the moderate faction headed by my grandfather and Uncle Jiu. They advocate Maintain the status quo and support you to regain control of the Gong family. In this way, the two families will have good relations for generations and jointly resist foreign enemies. The other faction is the radical faction led by the fourth uncle. They advocate taking the opportunity to annex the Gong family so as to become the leader of the ten families."
The situation is really a bit tricky.
"I still have something to ask. Why didn't the Gong family send anyone to come back to me this time? Don't they know that the Fourth Uncle An's group has bad intentions towards me?"
In fact, she didn't care whether she was the head of the family or not.
But if no one from the Gong family looks after her, then she will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth, chewed until no bones are left.
"The power of the Gong family is not what it used to be. Even their fiefdoms have been usurped a lot by the surrounding families. And now, some branches of the Gong family are eyeing the descendants of their descendants. If they come out, they will only give you Calling will cause more trouble."
It's really... miserable!
Lin Mengya couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for herself. She still remembered that when she first came back, she was also in a state of poverty.
Now that he has finally achieved great success, he is still the same person.
Probably, she was born to be self-reliant.
"Okay, but I'm curious. Why do you answer me whenever I ask about the Gong family's situation? But when I ask about the Gong family's attitude towards me, you never answer me directly?"
'Cough cough' An Zichen coughed slightly and moved his eyes to the other side with a guilty conscience.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. You will know what kind of family the Gong family is when you experience it yourself."
With such an answer again, Lin Mengya now even wondered whether the environment in the Gong family was too bad, and even An Zichen couldn't bear to say it.
But after thinking about it, I felt that this guy's attitude was very weird.
It seems that there are some things that you really have to see for yourself to know.
Turning around, she returned to the cabin where she lived.
Mo Yan didn't know when he was sent back. At this moment, he was sleeping in a small cradle in front of her bed.
After taking a few steps, Lin Mengya rushed to Mo Yan's cradle, stretched out her hand, and gently touched the boy's snow-white and delicate face.
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to come and accompany your aunt."
We haven't seen each other for only half a year, and the changes in this kid are amazing.
Even though she was asleep, her facial features showed a rare beauty.
He must have grown up and become a little monster again.
I couldn't help but think of the big monster at home and the smaller mini monster.
Missing them so much, missing them was like a sharp blade, which only tore her heart into pieces.
The voyage on the sea was a bit boring, especially because of the constraints of the conditions. There were almost no traces of any ships in the sea near them.
At the beginning, Lin Mengya would still remember the number of days day by day, so that later on, she was too lazy to count.
In a flash, ten months passed.
They set out in midsummer and arrived in early summer.
When Ajin told her the news with a smile, Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment.
Time really flies by.
"Aunt, aunt!"
A small voice roared in from outside the door, and then ran into her arms, breaking her daze.
He lowered his head and picked up this little red meatball.
Mo Yan pouted his bright red mouth, kissed her face generously, and then showed her the thing in his hand as if it were a treasure.
"Auntie, Uncle Liang gave it to me, here it is for you!"
In the little guy's snow-white palm, there lay a tiny turtle hatchling.
Although the shell is not very hard yet, it is beginning to take shape.
Especially on it, the criss-crossing red patterns are very rare.
After almost a year of getting along, the children of the An family on the ship all loved Mo Yan very much.
The little guy's appearance became more and more gorgeous. Lin Mengya often used rouge and put a little red on his eyebrows. His lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was as charming as a monster.
Even Bai Su often couldn't help but admire Mo Yan after seeing him.
Especially when Lin Mengya held Mo Yan in her arms, both the big one and the small one looked stunning and charming.
And Mo Yan was also extremely clingy to Lin Mengya, calling her "auntie, auntie" all the time. Even if she wasn't her biological child, it was better than being her biological child.
"Since your Uncle Liang gave it to you, accept it well. Have you ever thanked Uncle Liang?"
Lin Mengya touched the little guy's head and said softly.
Nodding, Mo Yan turned around and placed the little turtle in the bamboo tube on the table.
Turn around, run to her again, hugging her calf.
"Auntie, Uncle Zichen said that we will all defend the country soon. Are you happy?"
Yes, I didn’t expect that time has passed so long.
Picking up Mo Yan and putting it on her lap, Lin Mengya's gaze was directed to someone unknown.
"I'm probably happy. Every day I look forward to arriving earlier, but every day I look forward not to arrive. What are you talking about? Come on, aunt will take you out to see it."
There were many people gathered on the deck. When Lin Mengya brought Mo Yan here, she saw moving smiles on their faces.
For them, the road ahead is their return home, the home they love for their entire lives.
But for Lin Mengya, it was the source of her resentment.
Probably, this is also reincarnation.
Grandma tried her best to escape from here, but she brought the dispute far away.
She came here with these grievances, just to settle them.
After all, there was no escape.
"We can arrive at the port in less than three days. You'd better prepare in advance. Someone from the Gong family will definitely come to pick you up. Don't be afraid while we are here."
An Zichen lost a lot of weight, and his eyes couldn't hide the fatigue.
Although they did not encounter any opponents while sailing on the sea, the sea was the most difficult enemy.
How many times have they been in danger, tying their own safety to the fragile hull of the ship in the face of nature.
Fortunately, despite experiencing strong winds and waves, they still reached the other shore.
There was a little more trust and understanding between her and An Zichen.
After all, their friendship now spans the ocean.
"Well, I'm done."
Lin Mengya turned her head and smiled, with the same determination as An Zichen in her eyes.
This time, they must go.
Their ship quietly docked five days later.
Although it should have arrived in three days, there were too many ships at the port and they didn't want to disturb others, so they had to wait outside for two more days.
In the past, she only had a preliminary understanding of Weiguo from An Zichen's words.
But after seeing it with her own eyes, she understood why Ajin said they were frogs in the well.
She had also seen the port of Lintian Kingdom in the past.
Not to mention most of them were fishing boats, but she had not seen any such large boats that could cross the sea.
But here, their ship is the most inconspicuous one among them.
"These are all ships owned by famous families. Ours was a little dilapidated because my aunt had it hidden when she came here."
An Zichen was obviously used to this kind of scene, so he explained in a low voice in her ear.
Lin Mengya hugged Mo Yan and nodded confusedly.
The port in front of you is so densely packed with ships that you can't even see the end of it.
The hulls of various colors echo the masts, but each large ship flies different flags.
Either the mighty jackals, tigers and leopards, or the delicate flowers, plants, fish and insects. In short, they seem to be traveling through the world of the ship.
Small and inconspicuous.
Finally, their ship docked. Ten months later, she set foot on land again. She felt that the earthy air was particularly refreshing.
A heart that had chosen to be in mid-air finally settled down.
Sure enough, she is still suitable for living on land!
