Frankly speaking, Ailian's dress and appearance are indeed very fairy-like, making people forget about vulgarity.
But the more obvious some things are, the more artificial they become.
For example, Mrs. Lian, although she is not dressed as exquisitely and attractively as Ailian, she makes people feel like a spring breeze.
He felt that she was kind at first glance, and naturally he felt a certain affinity towards her.
Although Ailian does not walk in such a people-friendly style, her face can be considered gentle, and she does not have the aloofness to repel people thousands of miles away.
When sitting in front of them, it can be said to be elegant and generous.
But Lin Mengya just didn't like her. It had nothing to do with whether Ailian was Lian's old lover. It was just that she didn't suit her at first sight.
The three of them were sitting in the small hall drinking tea, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
It didn't matter to Lin Mengya and Ailian. The key point was that Mrs. Lian always felt uncomfortable when facing such an occasion for the first time.
Ailian is a thoughtful person. After looking at the two people over there, she smiled softly.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, madam. I heard a few days ago that the second young master is very brave and brave. In this way, he can be regarded as complementing each other."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Mengya captured the man's thoughts hidden in his words.
Madam Lian only found out about this after listening to Gong Wu, but Ailian said she had known it for a long time.
Then who told her
Sure enough, Lin Mengya saw the sadness on Mrs. Lian's face.
This woman is really powerful, a casual word can hurt Mrs. Lian's heart.
However, Lin Mengya was not someone to be trifled with. She picked up the tea cup on the table and took a small sip.
"Aunt Ai is really well-informed. It's no wonder that His Majesty ordered people to post the notice on the day he was granted the title of Jin. It's a pity that my uncle and Second Young Master Lian were so busy that they said they didn't step out of the palace for several days. One step."
Ailian has channels for information, is it possible that she doesn’t
They must be too busy to let their hands and feet go, otherwise even if Master Lian didn't have time for someone to deliver the letter, Lian Xing would still send someone.
This woman clearly came here to stir up trouble, how could she let Elian succeed
"That's right. I don't know about Lian Lang..."
Ailian's expression changed, as if she realized something was wrong with her, and immediately changed her words.
"I mean Master Lian must be very busy. Madam, please don't blame him."
Hey, you look like you are thinking about Master Lian, but who is the original wife
"It's natural. My aunt has always been a virtuous and kind person. She always puts my uncle first in everything. I can't do unreasonable and messy things with a character like my aunt. After all, she comes from a wealthy family, so some things... You have to see through it better than others.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was keenly aware of the coldness in Elian's eyes.
What does it mean to grab someone else's sore spot and step on it? Ai Lian, a noble woman who regards herself as the flower of the mountain, must have certain things that are her Achilles heel.
For example, origin.
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Bailian's eyes turned red.
A pair of big eyes quickly filled with tears, and he looked at Mrs. Lian opposite.
"Madam, are you blaming me?"
"No, don't worry."
Mrs. Lian was indeed a little sad just now, but she really didn't have any resentment towards Elian.
Although she is not as knowledgeable as her husband and son, she still has a clear love and hate for the men in their family.
What else would Lin Mengya say? If we are not a family, why don’t we enter the same family
But Xiao Bailian didn't know that Lin Mengya looked at her acting with cold eyes and only wanted to know the purpose of her coming today.
"I know that all this is my fault. I should also know that the relationship between Lian Lang and I should have ended more than 20 years ago. But... But, we can't help ourselves. . In the past few days, I have been unable to sleep peacefully. I just want to ask Madam to fulfill our wish. Madam, please, out of consideration of the friendship between you and Lian Lang for many years, please grant our wish!"
Xiao Bailian burst into tears. Unknown to her, she thought she was the one who suffered.
Lin Mengya had to admire these words.
What an explosive outlook on life. Today, she gained some experience.
He really is shameless and invincible.
She sneered in her heart, and just when she was about to reply, Mrs. Lian spoke.
"You shouldn't ask me about this, but you should ask him."
"Madam, Ailian knows that it is very difficult for you. Ailian does not want to snatch Lian Lang away, but over the years, Ailian really cannot bear to see Lian Lang suffer from the pain of lovesickness. Ailian assures you, Even if Lian Lang marries me in the future, I will not compete with you for your favor. Ailian only hopes that you can help us."
Over here, Xiao Bailian acted so pitifully.
She was just a poor woman who risked her life for love, but on the other side, although Mrs. Lian could see that she was extremely sad, she still spoke seriously and tried to reason with Xiao Bailian seriously.
"In the final analysis, this matter is not about me. Speaking of which, this is your business. Everything between me and him is our business. I have nothing to do with you. No matter what I want to marry you , or whatever, this is his own decision. I think you should go to her, not to me."
Lin Mengya was stunned because she didn't expect that Madam would be so calm.
Xiao Bailian was stunned. She must have seen someone with more upright thoughts than Mrs. Lian.
Therefore, she neither cried nor begged, and just stared at Mrs. Lian eagerly.
"Madam, do you agree to this?"
Mrs. Lian shook her head and said seriously.
"I'm not qualified to make this decision, you should ask my master."
"Madam is still angry with me. I... I, Elian, swear that I will never quarrel with Madam. You are the principal wife, and I... I am just a concubine."
Mrs. Lian sighed, stood up and stepped forward in person, handing her handkerchief to Xiao Bailian.
"Let me tell you again, that is the relationship between you, and there is no room for me to comment. Therefore, the person who makes the decision should not be me, but you and him. As for what happened before me and him , the relationship between me and him has nothing to do with you. Now, do you understand? "
Lin Mengya didn't know whether Xiao Bailian understood it or not. The only thing she knew clearly was that Xiao Bailian was completely defeated.
Until now, Xiao Bailian has not realized the ideological gap between her and Mrs. Lian.
No, perhaps it is more appropriate to say it is a natural chasm.
"You'd better go back first. When my master is free, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. This is the Gong family, so we can't trouble others too much."
Mrs. Lian was serious. In fact, she had no other ideas.
But Ailian's eyes widened as she was invited out by Uncle Rong.
"Ya'er, tell me, did I do something wrong?"
Turning back, Mrs. Lian looked at Gong Ya doubtfully.
The latter gave her a thumbs up.
"No, you are right about everything. It's amazing. It seems that all my worries were unnecessary."
No wonder Master Lian didn't rush to explain. After a long time of fussing, he must know better than she does that Mrs. Lian is a woman with very peculiar ideas.
Not to mention the little white lotus, even the senior green teas who were several levels above her would have to be defeated by Mrs. Lian's strange logic.
However, even though she found it funny, Lin Mengya did not relax her investigation of Xiao Bailian.
The past between her and Mr. Lian is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is his adopted son who appeared out of nowhere as Long Tianyu said.
Even if Long Tianyu wanted to accept his adopted son, he shouldn't have done so before he lost his memory.
I'm afraid there's something fishy in this.
"Bai Su, tell them to keep an eye on Ailian. Don't relax. Be careful and don't let her find out."
Bai Su nodded and left with her order.
The truth will always surface one day.
After Ai Lian left, the Gong family completely stopped.
Gu Pan still wanted to talk to her, but Princess Ma felt that the situation outside was too chaotic and would not let her run around at will.
Therefore, Gu Pan left a message for her, inviting her to visit the palace in three days.
Lin Mengya readily agreed to this, and Shangguan Hui's condition also improved.
After burning for a whole day, she finally woke up.
Standing in front of the bed, Lin Mengya didn't dare to get too close, for fear of irritating Shangguan Hui and causing her to lose control of her emotions again.
"I...where am I?"
The voice was thin and hoarse, which made Lin Mengya's heart ache, and he held her hand gently and tentatively.
"Don't be afraid, you are in my home, you are safe here."
Shangguan Hui shrank, but still looked at her timidly.
After a long time, she gently shook Lin Mengya's hand.
"I... I recognize you. But... I can't remember your name."
Lin Mengya knew that Shangguan Hui's current situation was not very good.
The physical pain was on the one hand, but mainly the mental pain seemed to have been very severe.
The person is not crazy, which already shows that Shangguan Hui's willpower is beyond ordinary people.
Lin Mengya didn't ask Shangguan Hui to remember it now. She nodded and stuffed her hand back into the quilt.
"It doesn't matter, I will always remember it. You have a good rest and don't worry."
She comforted Shangguan Hui softly, but the latter stretched out his slender hand and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"You...you have to be careful. Someone...someone wants to harm you."
These words shocked Lin Mengya.
"Sister Hui, did you remember something? Don't be anxious, think slowly."
But Shangguan Hui frowned, looking extremely painful.
"Someone kept hitting me, it hurt... it hurt..."
Lin Mengya realized something was wrong and immediately pierced Shangguan Hui's acupuncture point with a silver needle.
The man immediately became quiet, his eyes gradually closed, and he fell into sleep.
"Quick...run..."
Intermittently, Lin Mengya heard the murmurs in her dream.
Even though her consciousness was confused and her body was so weak, Shangguan Hui still firmly remembered that someone was trying to harm her.
It seemed that the person who wanted to harm her must be extremely dangerous.
After all, who could it be
