Unfortunately, the time for happy gossip is always so short.
They had just arrived in the Zhao family's territory, and the news seemed to have wings and flew to the ears of interested people.
Aunt Lan came uninvited and came to ask Fang Rao for instructions.
"Miss, Mrs. Jing has brought someone to greet us."
When saying this, Aunt Lan's tone was a little unhappy.
Thinking about Mrs. Jing, she was just Elder Zhao's side room, but now she is pretending to be a formal wife. Where does she put her young lady
In the past, she and the young lady thought that man was very responsible, but now it seems that he is just a coquettish person who wants to get the upper hand.
But Fang Rao didn't seem to care that much.
She turned around and said softly to Lin Mengya: "You don't have to worry when you get here. Take good care of your own injuries. I'll be back when I go."
Thinking that this was a family matter, Lin Mengya didn't want to interrupt, so she just nodded to indicate that she didn't need to think about him.
Although her ears are not as sensitive as before due to recuperation, her ability to distinguish lip language is still there.
A few carriages away, she saw Aunt Fang and Aunt Lan talking to Mrs. Jing who came to greet her.
Although the wife and concubine appeared to be harmonious on the surface, in fact they had secretly quarreled several times when they first met.
She enjoyed watching it, but for some reason, it got involved in her while talking.
Mrs. Jing covered her lips, not knowing what to say.
The next moment, Aunt Fang's face looked a little strange and darkened, as if she was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Jing.
But looking at Mrs. Jing's confident look, she knew that this guy must have come prepared.
Lin Mengya held her chin, wondering about the other party's intentions.
What kind of bad water are you holding back
After a while, Long Tianyu arrived in front of her carriage.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two parties who were negotiating in front.
Long Tianyu understood immediately, raised his head and told his wife honestly.
"Mrs. Jing was ordered by the Zhao family elder to catch the assassin who assassinated the clan elder."
Killer
Lin Mengya couldn't help but curl her lips.
What a coincidence.
When the killer couldn't be caught, he had to block his wife's carriage and search it.
It can be seen that arresting people is fake, and finding trouble is real.
She knocked on the carriage to communicate with him: "Tell Aunt Fang that if they want to search, they can search. Anyway, if anyone dares to do anything under our noses, she will be unlucky."
Long Tianyu couldn't help but smile and chuckled in a low voice: "Madam is right."
It was probably Long Tianyu who personally conveyed the message to Aunt Fang. Although the negotiations between the two parties were not pleasant, in the end they took a step back and accepted the inspection.
Soon, someone searched inside her carriage.
The leader was a middle-aged man who looked quite shrewd at first glance. Aunt Lan followed closely behind her and repeatedly emphasized to the other person with a stern face.
"This is my wife's niece. She is timid and can't speak. Please be gentle, so as not to frighten our young lady!"
After hearing this, those people couldn't help but feel a little timid.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man at the head's eyes flashed and he said: "This is natural, but they are strangers. The clan elder said that strangers must pay more attention. Besides, we are just checking whether she is the murderer, naturally It just won’t scare people.”
Aunt Lan was quite dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to make a note of it secretly, and wait until the elder came back to file a complaint.
When the middle-aged man saw that she was a frail little girl, he felt that this was a great opportunity.
At that moment, he secretly gave his subordinates a look.
The latter immediately understood and blocked him with his body.
The man showed an unknown smile towards Lin Mengya.
"You really can't speak?"
Lin Mengya tilted her head and blinked.
But the middle-aged man continued to ask patiently: "If you can speak, just say it and I will let you go, okay?"
Listening to the other party's coaxing tone, Lin Mengya felt something strange.
She pointed to her throat and shook her head.
I saw the smile on the middle-aged man's face getting deeper and deeper.
"It seems that you really can't speak, but it doesn't matter if you can speak. Soon, you won't be able to speak anymore."
These words are full of danger.
Lin Mengya was on guard all over, but at this moment, she saw the man take out a tattered bloody clothes from his arms, and then stuffed it into her luggage casually.
In an instant, she understood the other party's intention.
This is a clear frame-up!
But at this time, she had no time to react. She only heard the man suddenly raise his voice and say: "Come on, I found the bloody suit worn by the assassin. Come on, get him!"
The man's eyes flashed with pride.
On the contrary, there was urgency and vigilance in his tone, as if he was really facing a powerful enemy.
"You actually dare to resist! Let's see where you run this time!"
As he said that, the man secretly pulled out the short knife hidden in his waist and rushed towards her.
That way, he was clearly preparing to kill someone and silence him!
At this moment, Lin Mengya, who was as helpless as a lamb and could only be slaughtered by others, suddenly showed a faint smile.
That smile was so weird that even the middle-aged man, who had already made up his mind to kill someone, was startled.
In such a short moment, a silver sword broke through the window.
The sword-wielding woman's martial arts was several times stronger than the man's.
With one stab and one slash, the man's hand that was still holding the dagger was sliced off by her.
"ah-"
The piercing screams came.
Because there were men's men blocking the entrance of the carriage, everyone present did not know what happened.
By the time they reacted, the man had already fainted.
Bai Su, with a cold look on his face, was guarding Lin Mengya with a long sword in his hand.
"What's going on? What did you do?"
Fang Rao was the first to quit and hurried over to confront those scoundrels.
"I tell you, these are all my relatives, and they are all the elders themselves! Now that you don't listen to the elders, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Fang Rao's harsh words made these people panic.
After all, this was different from the ending they had imagined before.
For a moment, those people froze on the spot, and they knew something was wrong at a glance.
The anger in Fang Rao's eyes could almost turn into reality.
She finally understood it today. The long-lasting fuss and the hunt for the killer were all prepared for her.
Suddenly, the lady who had been in charge of the Zhao family's back house for more than ten years really got angry and scolded everyone.
In the end, even Mrs. Jing’s repeated attempts to refute were rejected by Fang Rao domineeringly.
go.
This is the first time that Mrs. Jing has been humiliated like this in front of everyone.
At that moment, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and moved out of her support.
"Sister, these are all orders from Fourth Uncle. Can you even ignore him?"
But this time, Fang Rao just sneered and said without mercy: "Really? Then let him tell me himself. Let me tell you, my father is the master of this family. Fourth uncle, let him be good. Live your life to the fullest!"
Mrs. Qujing couldn't resist the anger she had held in for so many years.
She saw with her own eyes that the middle-aged man was kicked out of the carriage by the maid holding the long sword, and then, the severed hand still holding the short sword.
At this time, the man who had been sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a silver mask silently pressed over the unconscious middle-aged man.
"Go back and tell your elders that if you dare to attack my wife, I will personally collect the debt."
The cold voice made Madam Jing feel like she was in a cold weather.
As the carriage sped away, Mrs. Jing couldn't help biting her lip, but her heart was beating wildly.
These rubbish!
Unexpectedly, even this little thing can't be done well.
"Get the people up and let's go!"
In the end, she could only take that cripple and leave in despair.
Along the way, I never encountered any obstacles.
The carriage still smelled of blood, and she was too lazy to stay in it any longer, so she prepared to get down to get some air.
Pushing Long Tianyu's wheelchair, they stopped and walked along the way, but they took a tour of this small town called "Chunfeng".
The Zhao family was not comparable to a small family like the Fang family, and even the original Sheng family was slightly inferior to the Zhao family.
And this is not just because of Zhao Yixuan's status in the Presbyterian Church.
I heard from Aunt Lan that Elder Zhao Yixuan was actually a business wizard.
In just ten years, the Zhao family's fortune can be doubled several times.
Nowadays, some of the financial lifelines of the Presbyterian Church are in his hands.
It's no wonder that such a talent is so valued.
Everyone in Fengchun City seemed to be doing well.
But when she arrived at Elder Zhao's residence, she felt a little strange.
He tapped Long Tianyu's shoulder with his little hand and asked, "Do you think this Zhao Mansion looks familiar?"
Long Tianyu squinted his eyes and saw that it was true.
"It looks a bit like the Huo family's old house."
"It seems that Elder Zhao has really taken great pains for Aunt Fang." She sighed in code.
However, Long Tianyu had a different view.
"What's the use of this? It's not to make Mrs. Zhao see things and miss people all day long. If it were me, a dead person would be a dead person. I won't allow the heart of the person I love to be completely filled with a dead person. When I live, that's who I am. biggest advantage."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya couldn't help but pinch him.
This person is really special!
Don't they all say that dead people are the most invincible? It would be better for him to do the opposite.
"Madam, you are finally back! Go and inform the old lady that she is back!"
When the housekeeper who came to open the door saw Fang Rao, his face immediately showed an expression of surprise.
On the other hand, Fang Rao's face immediately darkened when he heard the words "Old Madam".
"Which old lady?" she asked.
The housekeeper whispered with some embarrassment: "That's the master's mother."
