After seeing her thunderous methods, An Jiarong became honest for a few days.
Contrary to her expectation, after the mother-in-law who had her tongue cut off was sent back to An's home, they didn't react at all.
This made everyone in the Gong family feel a little surprised.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya was still calm and collected.
"Girl, don't think that I don't know what your plans are."
Although Gong Si agreed with all her decisions on the surface, he still secretly came to her door.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at her fourth brother.
"It's not difficult for you to anger An Jia, but the method you used is too much of a loss."
If you must have a confidant in life, then the fourth brother is definitely the best candidate.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. In fact, I'm not as clever as you think. At least now, we don't know what happened inside the An family. By the way, I asked you to find An Zichen before. Did you have any clues?
What?"
Although she was indifferent to the An family as a whole, she was unusual for An Zichen.
After all, when they were on the ship, they shared the same sorrow.
Who knew that there was no trace of this person, which really made her feel strange.
"I also asked many people to investigate Zichen's matter. But the strange thing is that no one knows where he is. Speaking of which, he is probably the only upright person in the An family."
Gong Si couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned his childhood friend.
Although An Zichen was also educated by his family, his conscience was still intact and he looked much more pleasing to the eye than the rest of the An family.
"We still have to find him. He left in such a hurry. Something big must have happened."
The most important thing is that after these few confrontations with the An family, she found that the old head of the An family didn't know much about her affairs.
Otherwise, he would have made a fuss about it long ago.
Could it be that An Zichen never mentioned this matter to anyone in the An family?
Although a lot of things happened, the New Year still came as scheduled.
On the street, the snow sculptures are almost complete.
According to the emperor's decree, the snow sculptures will be exhibited to the public starting from the New Year's Eve until the first day of the first lunar month.
The Gong family's snow sculpture has also been completed. Compared with the last palace, this time it is a heavenly palace built on auspicious clouds.
The white color of the snow is perfectly combined with the craftsmen's ingenuity. The entire Snow Sculpture Heavenly Palace, like the cloud tops above the nine heavens, exudes a fairy spirit.
Of course, others are not bad either.
Xiaonian here in Longdu falls on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
In addition to the snow sculptures outside, everyone's home needs to be cleaned, the stoves are sacrificed, and the ingredients for the New Year are prepared.
Cleaning is natural She didn't have to. According to her great-grandfather's wishes, she had to participate in the stove sacrifice.
But Lin Mengya was lazy and said a lot of sweet words before she got rid of the job.
But seeing that everyone had something to do, she felt dizzy by herself. Fortunately, Murong Xi sent someone to deliver a letter to her.
There was only one sentence in the letter, which was to ask her to meet at Yuexin Tea House.
Lin Mengya, who was full of joy, dressed up, took Bai Su and sneaked out.
Far away, I saw Ning'er's little face exposed by the window on the second floor of the teahouse.
She kept walking, almost running, and ran to the baby's side.
"Didn't you say you were going into the palace? Why did you come out?"
She took the baby and kissed Ning'er's little face hard several times.
The little guy immediately clung to her neck obediently and looked at her with big eyes.
"Important matters are naturally handled by the prince. I want to accompany you."
Today, he dressed like an ordinary rich man.
Although her face is still too pretty, it has become a bit more friendly because she no longer has that cold and frosty expression.
Looking at the mother and son with soft eyes, his heart was softer than ever before.
"Then, let's go out for a walk. There are so many people outside, no one will notice us."
This is a civilian area, crowded and mixed.
Those dignitaries naturally refused to come here.
However, it is also convenient for their family of three.
Murong Xi nodded, and the three of them entered the street. Ning'er was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of goods.
Lin Mengya was also in a good mood, and she kept shopping with Murong Xi along the way.
In a short time, the guards following them had a lot of things in their hands.
"You hold the baby while I go over there to buy some rouge and gouache."
She doesn't like makeup, but many maids and daughters-in-law in the house like it.
Moreover, there are many varieties here and the quality is very good. In a few days, my great-grandfather and others can take them back and take them back to the old house as gifts or something.
It's just that there are too many women there, and my man's face is really too lethal.
In order not to hurt the innocent girl's heart, and for everyone to have a good New Year, she still has to be selfish for a while.
After buying almost all the varieties she could see, Lin Mengya stood next to the stall, waiting for the stall owner to wrap it up for her.
But inadvertently, he saw a familiar figure on the street corner.
Isn't that Elaine?
Even though the other party was wrapped tightly, Lin Mengya still recognized her at a glance.
After seeing the other party's figure disappear around the corner, she returned to Murong Xi with her things.
"Just now, I seemed to have seen Ailian. She was sneaky. Do you think she did something bad?"
Although the fourth brother and Murong Xi's people were monitoring Ailian, they did not receive any news when Ailian went out today.
Before Lin Mengya finished speaking, Murong Xi waved her hand, and several guards immediately followed her.
"Where has she gone?"
Lin Mengya pointed out the direction, and the guards immediately followed.
The three of them were tired from shopping for the time being, so they returned to the teahouse.
After a while, one of the people who followed him came over to report.
"Your Highness, we have gone to Lusheng Courtyard."
Nodding, Murong Xi's face looked a little strange.
"What's wrong?"
This was the first time she heard this name.
The latter pondered for a moment before speaking.
"This is a very secret place for fun."
After seeing his little girl's eyes clearly showing some evil, he hurriedly explained.
"I've never been there, I just heard it mentioned a few times by chance. It's said that as long as you have money and power, there's nothing you can't get."
"Then who usually goes here?"
"The head of the family, or the most powerful figure among the Three Kings. As far as I know, there are no more than ten people in the entire Wei Kingdom who are qualified to go here."
Lin Mengya was even more confused. If this was the case, how could Ailian be qualified to enter?
"I made a discovery."
She squinted her eyes and stared at her man.
The latter was very frightened by her, but because he was too magnanimous, he had nothing to feel guilty about.
"You seem to know a lot of secret things. I haven't had time to ask you, what is your current identity?"
Because she trusts her man, she never asks about anything about him.
But since she came to Longdu, any news about the three words "Murong Xi" has a sense of mystery.
This made her a little more curious.
It seems that Murong Xi only came to Longdu earlier than her. How come he had so many powers that she could not even reach without any effort?
Murong Xi thought for a moment and showed a rare smile.
"I am Murong Xi, just the Murong Xi you know."
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes. This kind of nonsense is too easy to fool people, okay? "Okay, let me tell you. In addition to being His Highness Xi, I am also the disciple of the Holy Lord."
It was still perfunctory, but Lin Mengya could tell that he didn't identify with these two identities that much.
"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to say it. As long as you remember, no matter what you do in the future, you have to think more about me and the baby."
She could feel that he was actually carrying an extremely heavy burden.
When people enjoy great power, they also have great responsibility.
Murong Xi smiled and touched her cheek gently.
"Thank you for appearing in front of me."
If she hadn't brought a touch of brightness to his life, I'm afraid he would never have experienced such a happy feeling in his life.
Lin Mengya, who had a thick skin, was finally shy for a rare moment.
Seeing her so cute, Murong Xi suddenly wanted to kiss her.
Unfortunately, Ning'er grabbed her father's sleeve at this moment.
"Um?"
A father lowered his head and looked at his son.
The baby pointed to his belly and then to the back hall.
Murong Xi, who had fully understood Baobao's intentions in the past few days, had no choice but to angrily put down the temptation of beauty in front of her.
"I'll take him to a convenience store and I'll be back in a while."
Lin Mengya sent the two men away with a smile, barely maintaining her master's dignity under Bai Suluo's somewhat teasing gaze.
Fortunately, she is not an ordinary woman, and the second person to report the news has also arrived.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, the person we were following has returned. But we saw her talking to someone at the door."
"who is it?"
The guard shook his head and said.
"I was too far away so I couldn't see her face clearly, but it should be a woman."
It is very normal for men and women to appear in places where they are looking for fun.
"Thank you for your hard work, you can go down first."
"yes."
However, Elen is not a simple character.
The fact that she went there secretly meant that she was not one of them.
But she was connected to that place and seemed to know the people there.
This made her feel that things were not that simple.
"What are you thinking about, being so serious?"
After returning with the baby, Murong Xi seemed a little disappointed.
After all, the best opportunities are missed.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking that after the Chinese New Year, I will leave for the temple."
