After curling his lips, Menzi lazily entered to look for someone.
The two men immediately lowered their heads and leaned to the side, looking humble and timid, not attracting any attention at all.
If Jiang Ruqin wasn't stupid, she should be able to understand what they meant.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the doorman brought someone out.
"Is she the one you are looking for?"
Menzi pushed the person outside at will. The latter was unprepared and staggered a few steps.
Ah Er immediately stepped forward to greet him. Lin Mengya quickly raised her head and took a look, then quietly tugged on Ah Er's sleeve to signal.
"That's right! Niece, I am your second uncle!"
Jiang Ruqin understood immediately and shouted with tears in her eyes: "Second uncle, is it really you?"
"Yes, yes, I am your second uncle, and this is your cousin, have you remembered?"
He must have been tired of seeing such a scene of relatives gathering together. Menzi stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Ruqin's collar, raised his eyelids and said, "You've seen it, why don't you go back and do your errands!"
Ah Er immediately stopped the man and tried to please him by stuffing money into Menzi's hand.
"Please, sir, please be accommodating and let us have a few words before we leave."
Menzi put away the money and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Oh, who makes me soft-hearted? I hate others begging me the most. If I do, I will give you a quarter of an hour. However, you can't go too far. Also. You are not allowed to inquire about our family affairs, otherwise, I will let your family reunite in the underworld, do you understand?"
The three people immediately nodded submissively, looking very frightened.
"Don't dare, don't dare, we are just talking about ourselves, please give me some advice!"
Menzi obviously enjoyed the feeling of being treated like a big shot.
He waved his hand and let the person go.
But he didn't eavesdrop. After all, in his eyes, how could ants like them have the courage to inquire about Baili's family
Soon, the three of them arrived at the corner.
After confirming that no one was watching, Ah Er immediately changed his attitude and walked aside to watch.
The two people pretending to be cousins also quickly let go of their hands.
"We don't have much time, what's going on?"
Lin Mengya asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ruqin didn't have time to put on airs, so she had to quickly explain the situation between her and her aunt.
"You mean, they imprisoned my mother, but they didn't do anything bad to her?"
Jiang Ruqin nodded and said: "I don't know about others, but apart from me, my aunt doesn't even have a guard here. If you want to save people, it's not that difficult."
But Jiang Ruqin didn't know that the reason why their small courtyard was unguarded was precisely because their location was at the deepest part of the inner courtyard.
The night before, even her scan didn't touch there. It was not easy to enter and save people.
"What about my father? Do you know where he is?"
Jiang Ruqin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
She only cares about her aunt, how can she care about other people.
Afraid that Lin Mengya wouldn't be able to help, she hurriedly said: "Aunt is old, and I'm afraid she won't be able to survive the lack of food and clothing here for a long time. I think you'd better rescue your aunt and me first. As for your father, wait until later. It’s not too late to save him.”
This is reasonable and reasonable, but Jiang Ruqin, apart from a few injuries on her body, is also better dressed than ordinary people.
She didn't know if the Baili family would abuse their servants, but since the Baili family kept her mother-in-law in custody, she thought that even if she didn't know her identity, she should know that she was a useful bargaining chip.
Therefore, Jiang Ruqin said this probably because she wanted to leave Baili's house as soon as possible.
"I will find a way, but it may have to wait a while."
"Why wait?"
Jiang Ruqin was a little anxious, grabbed her hand and asked in a low voice.
"You don't want to abandon your old love because you have a new love, right? Lin Mengya, if you dare to ignore us, I will tell your fiancé that you have lost your virginity and are a wanton woman!"
Listening to the other party's threat, Lin Mengya's expression turned cold.
As expected, a person's nature cannot be changed easily. Even if Jiang Ruqin is temporarily on her side now, he is not a kind person after all.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen. I have other important things to deal with, and I won't ignore my mother's side."
It seemed that her mother-in-law was not so reassured about her, so she did not explain Long Tianyu's current situation.
Regardless, the more people like Jiang Ruqin know, the more disadvantageous it will be to them.
After hearing her promise, Jiang Ruqin snorted coldly.
"Hmph! I guess you're still a little embarrassed. You can leave if you want, but give me a thousand taels of silver first."
Lin Mengya frowned.
"What do you want so much money for?"
The latter glared at her and said angrily: "I'm not as ruthless as you. I paid for my aunt's food and drink here. I only have so much silver in a month, what's enough?" Yes? You don’t want to give it, do you? Alas, it’s a shame that my cousin was so kind to you back then!”
Ah Er's cold eyes had already turned around.
Lin Mengya estimated that if Jiang Ruqin continued to be aggressive, A'er and someone hiding in the dark would rush up and strangle her to death.
It was only a thousand taels of silver, and it was not like Lin Mengya could not afford it.
She took out the banknote, and Jiang Ruqin was about to take it, but she took it away again.
"What do you mean?"
"I have plenty of silver. I can't give you this thousand taels."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruqin stared at her and questioned.
"Then what nonsense are you talking about?"
"but-"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and put the banknote back into her pocket in front of the other party.
"The identities we use are just two poor relatives who came from the countryside. One thousand taels is too much, which is too eye-catching. Okay, I will give you a piece of silver first, and you can use it first. If it's not enough, go to Mingji Trading Company in the city to get it in the name of visiting relatives. Remember, it's a fur goods business, and your 'second uncle' and 'cousin' both work here."
Jiang Ruqin grinded her teeth in anger and hatred.
Isn't it just a thousand taels of silver? This stinky woman was obviously unwilling to give it to her!
"This little thing is not enough to buy a cotton-padded coat for my aunt!"
Lin Mengya smiled and looked at the greedy Jiang Ruqin.
"Don't talk about cotton-padded clothes, I have to afford even mink fur. But I'm not someone who takes advantage of others for blackmail. You can use any amount of money you want. But there must be a note written by my aunt, otherwise, you will be Don’t even think about getting any money from me.”
"You! You are clearly trying to embarrass me on purpose! Anyway, you are so ruthless and unjust, why should I be considerate for you? The head of the Gong family is a ruined man. Such news must be worth something in the Baili family. Silver..."
But before she could finish her words, Ah Er squeezed her neck.
Jiang Ruqin slapped A'er's arm in horror, but it was firmly restrained by his other hand and could no longer move.
"It seems that you have forgotten some of the lessons I taught you in the past."
She took a step closer and looked at him with cold eyes.
"You think you said I could let you go? As you said, now I am the head of the Gong family and equal to the Baili family. If I want to kill you, it is as simple as crushing an ant."
Although the appearance of the woman in front of him was concealed, her dark eyes were enough to drag Jiang Ruqin into the hell where life was worse than death.
"I-I was wrong, no, don't kill me!"
Hearing her begging for mercy, Lin Mengya glanced at A'er.
The latter immediately let go, and at the same time covered Jiang Ruqin who was about to cough.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and looked at the woman slumped on the ground.
"Take good care of my mother. If you let me know that you are talking nonsense, I will let you experience things that are a hundred times more painful than before. You are not a relative of the emperor here."
Jiang Ruqin nodded quickly.
Seeing that she understood, Lin Mengya asked A'er to let go.
Jiang Ruqin, who finally breathed fresh air, hurriedly put away the silver coin and prepared to leave.
But he was stopped by Lin Mengya.
"The play must be performed in full so that no one will doubt it."
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Ruqin, clearly feeling the other person, and shivering because of it.
Very good, so that the other party will be aware of it.
"Sister, my father and I will visit you often in the future. You must be more sensible when you are in other people's homes, and you must never be willful again. Do you understand?"
"I, I know sister."
"Well, be good."
Turning the corner, she and Ah Er quickly got into character.
And Jiang Ruqin's eyes were red because of what happened just now, as if she had cried.
Menzi was used to this kind of thing, so he said impatiently: "Stop dawdling, we didn't raise you just for you to chat with the family!"
Jiang Ruqin lowered her head and ran back to the door.
Lin Mengya and A'er waited until the figures disappeared before leaving together.
After crossing several streets, the two stopped.
At this time, another person silently landed in front of her.
"Have you seen everything?"
Long Tianyu nodded slightly.
Just now, he was by the side, protecting her safety.
Lin Mengya took off her disguise, got into the carriage that had been prepared in the alley, and changed back into her own clothes.
Through the window, discuss with him how to rescue her mother-in-law.
"Jiang Ruqin is not reliable. We have to find a way to find a trustworthy person to protect our mother."
"Yeah, I'll do it."
This matter is related to his mother, and Long Tianyu is naturally responsible.
Lin Mengya changed her clothes, stuck her head out of the window, and said with a smile: "I still remember the time when she cried and shouted that she wanted to marry you as a concubine. If the rescue of my mother is successful this time, you, my cousin, can't say anything I want you to repay my kindness with your body."
After hearing this, Long Tianyu instantly turned dark.
He hugged her over and kissed her red lips fiercely.
"impossible!"
He swore in a low voice and was categorical.
Lin Mengya was just teasing him, but now her eyes were covered with moisture.
"I'm just kidding you."
"I don't want anyone but you."
Her endless love words made her legs tremble and numb.
How can this person be so good
