In front of outsiders, Xia Houjun would respectfully call Lin Mengya the eldest lady.
But in this situation where there are only two people alone, the little girl will call her sister.
Called back by Jun'er's name, Lin Mengya lowered her head, looked at Yuxue's cute Jun'er, and gently showed her smile.
"Of course, she also called me that."
"Isn't that your sister? If so, why would she harm you?"
Jun'er is very smart and can guess right.
Lin Mengya shook her head. She did not expect that the person who came to 'expose' her with the phoenix hairpin was actually Lin Mengwu!
How long had it been since they last met? I didn't expect that this would be the case when they met, which made people feel very ironic.
"The things between us cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. I will tell you again when I have the opportunity. Jun'er, you have to be careful about this person. She is scheming and vicious. I almost died because of her back then.
In your hands, you have to be careful no matter when in the future, you know?"
Jun'er nodded immediately, Shuiling's big eyes were full of caution.
But what Lin Mengya was more worried about was why they met Lin Mengwu here?
And Lin Mengwu seemed to know everything about her.
This is definitely not a coincidence. It seems that the person who came here is evil.
When she came back from outside, she took a special look and found that Gong Lu was not there.
Several members of the Gong family did not inquire about her whereabouts. It seems that Gong Si had already made arrangements.
Still leaning on the couch, Lin Mengya's mood was not as stable as before.
Lin Mengwu's arrival meant too many things that were beyond her expectation.
This is not a good thing for her.
"Since you feel uncomfortable, why don't you tell third brother?"
Looking up, what he saw was the concerned face of the third brother.
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this was probably the excuse Gong Si gave her.
She smiled apologetically. She knew that Gong San, like Gong Si, believed in her and protected her, and she couldn't help but feel warm and warm in her heart.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little acclimated. Maybe it's because there are too many people here. I feel a little tight in my chest, but it's okay."
Gong San, however, couldn't help but grabbed her arm, put it on her slender wrist, and carefully cut her pulse before feeling relieved a little.
"It seems that there is really no problem. It was my negligence. You must be a little uncomfortable when you come here for the first time. Why don't you go back to the inn first. There is nothing to see here anyway. You can come back on the last day."
She wanted to refuse, but she saw Gong San's persistence.
In desperation, Zhi Hao nodded in agreement.
"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and I will take the little sister back first. She is unwell and needs to rest."
Getting up, Gong San greeted the others.
They didn't say anything, they just came over one by one and told her not to force herself and that she must have a good rest when she got back.
Lin Mengya had no choice but to agree, but she declined Gong San and Gong Wu's kindness. Looking at their somewhat disappointed faces, she could only lower her eyes to explain.
"The eldest brother and the fourth brother have been working hard these days, and they really need a good rest. Besides, the auctions these days don't matter, everyone can just stay here and keep an eye on them in shifts. If there's anything important, send someone to call us.
That’s it.”
What she said made sense. Indeed, although the things she suggested for ostentation were not hard to come by, time was of the essence and Gong Bin and Gong Si arranged almost all of them themselves.
Now, it's time for them to take a good rest.
"You must protect my little sister, you know? Little sister, if anyone dares to bully you, call someone to come to Fifth Brother and me, and I will beat them until they are full of teeth!"
Gong Wu actually wanted to follow her, but he wanted to stay here even more, so he could only warn her uneasily.
"Well, I understand. When there is a fight, just go to my fifth brother, right?"
Blinking, Lin Mengya said playfully.
Everyone else laughed, but Gong Wu nodded seriously.
"That's right! Fifth brother, even if I risk my life, I will never let my little sister suffer any injustice."
Several people laughed, but Gong Bin was thoughtful.
Lin Mengya stood on tiptoes and touched the head of her cute little brother.
Her fifth brother must be a tight little wolfdog. He nodded with a smile, and then followed Gong Bin and Gong Si to leave the scene while Gong Wu was reluctant to leave.
Fortunately, all eyes are now focused on the auction house.
Their departure did not attract many people's attention, and she could probably guess something from the unsurprised look in the doorkeeper's eyes.
I'm afraid that the heads of those aristocratic families have already withdrawn.
Also, what a big family wants is the style.
The eye-catching sedan chair is no longer available. Lin Mengya's red dress is quite eye-catching.
Fortunately, sedans were prepared for them in the auction house.
Soon, the group returned to Taining Inn.
As soon as he entered the door, Gong Si grabbed Gong Bin.
Knowing that Gong Ya single-handedly asked them to come back, he must have something to say to them.
"Little sister, I'm still not worried about your health. Why don't you take your brother and me to see a doctor in the city later?"
Gong Si’s words were meant for everyone to hear.
Lin Mengya nodded meekly, said she was going to change clothes, and followed Jun'er back to her room.
"Miss, you are back!"
At the door, Gong Ping was standing there seriously, guarding the door for her.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two come in with me."
As soon as she entered the door, Lin Mengya immediately looked around to see if there was anything suspicious.
Gong Ping also closed the door. Although he didn't know what happened, the eldest lady had told him before when she went out that she must not let anyone step into her room.
Before coming out, the ancestor had warned him that the eldest lady’s orders must not be taken carelessly.
Therefore, he dared not leave even an inch.
"Has anyone been at home since I left?"
After making sure there was nothing unusual in the room, Lin Mengya sat on the chair and asked Gong Ping.
"There are no strangers, but a few rough ladies came to the backyard. It was arranged by the eldest son, and we have many more women, aren't we? The eldest son thinks that it is okay for them to be in the backyard, but some things are really inconvenient. So,
, so we recruited some people. But don’t worry, eldest lady, they are helping in the backyard, they will never dare to come here!"
The manpower recruited by Gong Bin is reliable for the time being, but she knows Lin Mengwu's temperament very well.
Since Lin Mengwu wanted to deal with her, he must have used any despicable means.
There are some things that she must prevent in advance.
"From today on, whenever I leave this house, you two must leave one person in the house. The doors and windows must be locked. Unless I come back with your sister Bai Su, no one is allowed to open them. If
If you are hungry or going out, the door must be locked. Remember, before going out, sprinkle a fine layer of jasmine powder on the threshold. I will also try to reduce the time I spend out in the past few days."
Gong Lu must have hidden Lin Mengwu. As for whether Gong Bin knew about it, Lin Mengya was not sure.
She is not afraid of poison, but she is afraid that Lin Mengwu will use more sinister methods.
She must take advantage of the opportunity to deal with Lin Mengwu before going back, otherwise, the Gong family's old house will become dangerous again just after it has been quiet for a few days.
"yes."
Jun'er and Gong Ping responded in unison. Seeing how nervous she was, the two children also became nervous.
but they are not It was fear. Lin Mengya even saw the beating eagerness in their eyes.
It seems that she is really old. But for them, this is indeed a good experience.
After changing into light clothes and no longer wearing those heavy wig buns and hair accessories, the enchanting daughter in the morning instantly transformed into a beautiful lady.
Gong Bin, Gong Si also changed their clothes, and after the three of them walked out of the inn's door, they transformed into idle children of wealthy families wandering around.
Jincang City is indeed prosperous, and because of the development of the navigation industry, it is more welcoming and open than any city Lin Mengya has ever visited.
But at the same time, it also means that the security here will not be very good.
Less than half an hour after he left the house, the fourth brother caught several hands trying to reach into his pocket.
The person who was caught just laughed, bowed and ran away like a loach.
There will be no one around to see, as if this situation is no longer strange.
"I don't think we should leave. We have been working so hard so early in the morning and haven't even had a meal. Is there anything special about this place?"
The atmosphere between the three people was always a bit awkward.
Lin Mengya has never been a stingy person, so she took the initiative to propose.
"This is a good idea. Jincang City is close to the sea and there are many sea treasures. How about we go try it?"
Gong Si immediately suggested, and the remaining two people also agreed with his arrangement.
The three people took their attendants with them and walked to the most popular restaurant in Jincang City.
"Yunhai Canglan, the name of this store is quite good."
In a short time, several people arrived at the famous store in Jincang City.
"This is the property of the Xu family. Let's go in."
Gong Si knew this place very well, and when Lin Mengya heard that it belonged to the Xu family, she immediately became interested.
She had met Rong Luyi before and knew that he was a ruthless person who was not easy to mess with.
But because at the auction house, the Rong family and the Xu family change once a year, so the people from the Xu family are not here to take charge this time.
If you want to get to know the Xu family, you probably have to start at this restaurant.
"A few distinguished guests, please come inside!"
The scale of Yunhai Canglan is not small, and the people who welcome it are all wealthy owners.
The waiters are all talented people. They have long developed a clever mouth and can make people happy in various ways.
From the moment they came in, the guy never stopped talking.
No matter what they say, the waiter can answer it fluently, and by the way, he can talk about it in his own restaurant.
