If you calculate the age of the third brother, you will know that the Gong family was in a pretty good situation at that time.
Although it is declining, at least it still has the airs of a big family, so it's not too ugly.
"When we first came through the door, we felt that these three ladies were really too powerful, but the eldest wife and the two ladies were still there at that time, so the family was not controlled by the third lady alone. Later, when the third lady was pregnant,
The third master fell ill. Alas, he almost lost half his life. Fortunately, he got better day by day, but the third wife disliked the third master for being useless. She just gave birth to the child and returned to her parents' home."
The mother-in-law's words made Lin Mengya gradually understand what happened back then.
My family members have mentioned before that the eldest and second masters of the Gong family are both brave and good at fighting. Although the fourth master is young, he is very resourceful.
Although the third master was smart, he died in depression because of his weak constitution.
"But, aren't our family and the An family family friends? How come the third aunt didn't dislike her before she walked in, but she disliked her after she walked in?" ??
Lin Mengya asked curiously.
The woman smiled a little reluctantly and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Isn't it because after the old patriarch passed away, it was difficult for the acting patriarch to convince the public? Later, the family also considered letting a man succeed as the patriarch. However, the ancestor did not agree, which is why this turmoil arose."
Although the mother-in-law didn't elaborate, she roughly understood.
An Jiarong is arrogant and arrogant. In addition, she grew up in front of the wife of the head of the An family, so she is extremely sensitive to these matters.
The reason why she chose to marry her third uncle was because she felt that his third uncle was easy to control.
If there was secret help from the An family, wouldn't the position of the head of the family be a matter of hands?
It's a pity that no one from the Gong family is so easily manipulated.
Perhaps it was for this reason that An Jiarong returned to the An family in anger.
However, only the parties involved can know the details.
But it can be seen from this incident that the An family's desire to encroach on the Gong family can begin at that time.
She suddenly realized why the An family sent those people when they sent people to pick her up.
If An Zichen hadn't been there, he would have been in a very bad situation.
"It's okay, we are all family members, so you don't need to be so restrained when talking. By the way, do you know what disease my third uncle is suffering from?"
The woman was obviously relieved when she heard what she said.
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head.
"I really don't know this. I only know that the third master seemed to have caught wind and cold and had a high fever for several days. At that time, I consulted many doctors, but there was no solution. But later, the third master also became auspicious.
Slowly I got better. But my body became empty from then on."
Lin Mengya felt a little regretful, if the third uncle If Uncle and the others could still live to this day, the Gong family would not have been bullied to this extent.
She wanted to continue asking about this topic, but today was New Year's Eve, and it was not a particularly appropriate time to bring up these sad things.
After making dumplings in the kitchen, she washed her hands and returned to the living room.
Inside, everyone sat around to watch the New Year's Eve.
It was probably the first time for Ning'er to have such a lively New Year. Her little face was flushed and she stared closely at the snacks in everyone's hands.
The family also loves to tease him. If Lin Mengya hadn't repeatedly forbidden them from feeding the baby before leaving, I'm afraid his hands would be full of things by now.
The little man seemed to hear her footsteps. Before he entered the door, he turned around and looked towards her.
He gave his mother a big smile without any hesitation. She was so cute that people just wanted to pick her up and kiss her again and again.
And Lin Mengya will naturally not let the baby down.
I picked up the baby and stuffed a sweet and sour orange into his mouth. The baby immediately narrowed his eyes because of the beauty.
"Come quickly, my great-grandfather said just now, why haven't I seen you for so long?"
Gong Si immediately stood up to greet her. The whole family was enjoying themselves, which was much more interesting than watching any Spring Festival Gala.
"The dumplings will have to wait a while to be cooked. I heard that tonight, all the snow sculptures in the city are lit up. Why don't we join in the fun and go take a look."
When they went out that day, they didn't see everything, and some of the lights weren't lit yet.
I heard from people who went out in the afternoon that it was like a fairyland outside and it was so beautiful.
The ancestor of the Gong family originally didn't want to join in the fun, but this was the first time the family was so whole, and everyone wanted to have a lively New Year, so naturally they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Great, let's go get ready and we'll set off in a moment!"
Gong Wu is the happiest one. He has a lively temperament, loves to play, laugh and be lively.
But Gong San seemed a little gloomy, and while everyone was walking out, Lin Mengya whispered.
"Third brother, let's go out together."
"Forget it, I'm not in that mood."
Nowadays, the person with the most complex thoughts in the family may be Gong San.
After all, that person was his biological mother. He said he didn't care, but in his heart he couldn't let go easily.
"Today is New Year's Eve, how can I leave you alone at home? Come on, come with us for a walk, maybe there will be a surprise!"
She blinked her eyes, and Gong San sighed.
, can only nod.
After all, he didn't want to disappoint his only sister.
The family dressed up and walked onto the street. As soon as they went out, she was fascinated by the outside world.
If last time it was a world of ice and snow, then now it is a fairyland of snow.
Various colorful snow sculpture lights bloom with dazzling brilliance at this night.
No matter how big or small, they all hold new hopes for the coming year. .??.
Lin Mengya held the baby in her arms, pointed at the lights, and explained to him the fairy tales that brought them to modern times.
When they were talking about the Little Mermaid, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and took her in his arms.
Lin Mengya stopped and felt the man's warm and even breathing on her neck.
In the whole world, you are the only one who cannot detect when that person arrives.
Because they are so familiar, even the sophisticated system recognizes them as a whole.
"It's so cold, why don't you know how to wear more clothes?"
His deep voice came to my ears.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but smile and rested her back on the man's chest with relief.
"With you, I'm not cold."
The man smiled happily and finally took the baby from his arms.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw that the man's face was covered with a mask.
"What are you"
"I came out with Huang Zun. I don't want to be discovered by them, lest they go back and lecture me again."
This complaint is really a bit enviable.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him and said softly.
"You are so blessed that you don't know how lucky you are. How many people are so smart that they might not get this opportunity."
In fact, she had felt it from his attitude before.
Long Tianyu didn't hate the Emperor and the Queen, and even showed some respect for them.
This is already an extremely rare thing for a person like him.
"okay, I get it."
He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, but made her shut up.
How come this guy knows more and more how to deal with her?
Suddenly I remembered that my family seemed to be still around.
He immediately walked around in a panic, only to find that at some point, he and his family had become separated.
"It was Gong Si who did it."
There was a hint of pride in his tone.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the fourth brother was a hard-spoken but soft-hearted person.
She was afraid that her family would discover this secret, so she lured them away.
I am afraid , he can also justify himself.
"Well, I will thank him properly later."
"Thank him for what he did. If he hadn't been so troublesome, why wouldn't I be able to see you every day?"
How does this plaintive tone sound like the wise and powerful His Highness Xi from their family?
Clearly, he is just a resentful husband.
"Okay, don't act like a good boy when you get an advantage. If the fourth brother hadn't helped us, I'm afraid you and I would have been discovered long ago."
Come to think of it, the two of them are quite courageous.
Unexpectedly, that person didn't care at all.
"When I find out, I find out. I wish I could marry you as soon as possible."
Lin Mengya's heart was as sweet as honey, but in the blink of an eye, it was cast into another shadow.
"We both still have to be careful, after all."
"I know what you're worried about."
Murong Xi took over her words and spoke in a low but firm voice.
"No one can manipulate me, don't worry, now I can let anyone know that you are my woman."
Her heart moved slightly, and she felt that her heartbeat was a little nervous and too fast.
"What do you know?"
He lowered his head and looked into her eyes seriously.
"Although I still know nothing about the past, I know that I can seize the present and the future. I will protect both Liangyu and me."
This sentence contains too many things.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but her eyes turned red. Although he didn't say anything, she could hear his efforts.
"Don't cry, be good."
Unknowingly, tears fell and were gently wiped away by his free hand.
Lin Mengya leaned into his arms gently and let out a long sigh.
"Thank you, but you also have to protect yourself, understand?"
This time, she finally understood what fear felt like.
Therefore, she cannot lose either him or Ning'er.
Murong Xi hugged her in his arms, smiled softly, and agreed to her.
"By the way, do you know that there is a man named Prince Yu?"
Lin Mengya raised her head from his arms and looked at the man suspiciously.
"Of course I know!"
"Who is he? Where is the prince from?"
"He is Ning'er's biological father, the prince of Jin."
After a moment of silence, Murong Xi's expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong? Why did you remember to ask about this person?"
"I could have killed him."
Lin Mengya pinched her thigh hard and barely managed not to laugh out loud.
