Chapter 1,696 Assassination in the middle of the night
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed with light. Fortunately, she had made some preparations before and was able to bring things back to a situation that was favorable to them in time.
"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Ning'er grabbed the hem of her skirt softly and waxy, her big black eyes full of expectation.
He gently touched the child's little face. No matter what, he couldn't say any words of rejection.
"Okay, mommy will sleep with you tonight."
"That's great, brother Mo Yan, mom can sleep with us!"
Ning'er immediately showed a big sweet smile, turned around, and told her brothers the great news.
Mo Yan also showed an expression of surprise, and glanced at the sun outside with big eyes, wishing it would get dark soon.
"Okay, there's nothing to do here. You go and play with the children for a while."
The teacher smiled and said, "He really loves these children, especially the two from the student's family. They are extremely smart and are more loved than ordinary children."
Lin Mengya smiled apologetically at the teacher, and then let the children pull her away.
The four children were so happy that they kept telling her about what happened after they came here.
From the children's fragmentary narrations, she also learned that the children had been relatively happy and carefree since arriving here.
At the end, Ning'er fell into her arms, and the three older children also held her clothes and fell asleep.
Lin Mengya kissed the children's little faces and felt that at this moment, no matter what she did, it was worth it.
"It's a cold night, let me help you carry the baby in."
Xiao Yi walked out of the room next to him.
In the afternoon he saw her sitting there with the children.
The sunshine was gentle, and even though she was wearing that inconspicuous mask, it still exuded a holy radiance.
The children's noise was mixed with her gentle response.
For some reason, this scene made him stare at the window all afternoon.
It wasn't until the sun set that he gradually woke up from his intoxication.
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a surge of bitter regret.
After thousands of sails, he finally tasted what he wanted.
Even the original Ya'er, even though she was an idiot, was still childish and cute.
If he had
He shook his head and got rid of this outdated idea.
This should be the best now.
Lin Mengya raised her head and saw Xiao Yi? She nodded with a smile.
She held Ning'er and carried Mo Yan on her back.
The other two children are both in Xiao Yi?'s arms.
After sending the children into the room and covering them with quilts one by one, Xiao Yi stared blankly at her busy schedule.
After she was settled properly, Xiao Yi? quickly withdrew his gaze without letting her notice at all.< br>
"Master Xiao, do you have something to say?"
For Xiao Yi?, she always felt a sense of intimacy like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
What's more, he is devoted to his children.
Even Yu often praised Master Xiao for his good teaching.
As a parent, she naturally has to respect her children's teachers.
Xiao Yi, on the other hand, was not used to it. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head.
"The children are all well-behaved. It doesn't matter if they are naughty occasionally. At this age, it is the time to play. But you, how are you doing lately?"
"Me? I'm fine. Everything outside is going smoothly."
After saying that, the two fell into silence again.
Xiao Yi didn't know what to say, while Lin Mengya was thinking about where to start.
"How are your great-grandfather and his family doing now?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Yi? He only thought about greeting the ancestors and their situation.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a little regretful.
Obviously you see him every day and sometimes help take care of him, so why are you asking about him?
Lin Mengya just thought he was asking about his illness and said softly, "It's going well. He should wake up soon. What are Mr. Xiao's plans next?"
Planning? Xiao Yi? gave her a puzzled look.
Staying here as a gentleman and recruiting and helping the refugees from Jin is what he will do in the future.
But, does she have other plans?
"I think it's a bit humiliating for the master to stay in this college. Of course, the college has unlimited development prospects in the future, and the master can naturally achieve what he wants here. I want to ask the master, if you have any intention, come and help me
?”
A person's power is ultimately limited.
Lin Mengya knew what she was about to face, so she had to make plans in advance.
Although Xiao Yi is a civil servant, he is extremely resourceful and understands the sentiments of the people.
When he was in Da Jin Dynasty, he was highly used by the two brothers Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan.
If she wants to build her own power, such people are indispensable.
Otherwise, if she had to make decisions about everything big or small, even with Xiao Yao's help, she would die of exhaustion sooner or later.
Xiao Yi had a suitable identity and outstanding abilities, so he became the target of her wooing.
"good."
Without almost any consideration, Xiao Yi agreed to her.
Lin Mengya was a little surprised by his straightforwardness. She had seen this man look like he knew everything about the world before.
"The storm is about to come, how can I survive alone? I am willing to go to pieces for the sake of everyone in the world."
For a moment, Lin Mengya seemed to see the high-spirited young master of the Xiao family from before.
It seems that the fire in my heart has not been extinguished even though my ambition has not been fulfilled.
She raised her lips and showed a sincere smile.
"From then on, we will be companions who advance and retreat together."
My heart was touched by her words.
Advancing and retreating together, that is to say, will they be tied up in the future?
Even though it was just a little bit, it was enough to make him willing.
"good!"
The candlelight flickered, and Xiao Yi looked at the woman in front of him seriously. From now on, he would let go of all the thoughts between men and women.
Some, it is just the loyalty of a scholar to the death for his bosom friend!
She wanted to spend one more day with the children, but before dawn, the yard slave knocked on her door.
"Sir, someone from the Gong family is here and they want you to go back immediately. There is something urgent."
Lin Mengya woke up immediately, and after giving a low response, she tucked the children into bed, immediately cleaned herself up, and went to the yard.
At this time, Bai Su also left the house one step ahead of her.
She lowered her voice and asked "What happened?"
"I don't know either, but last night, someone seemed to have broken into Ruxinyuan."
He frowned, and now the person living in the courtyard was Long Tianyu's fake princess.
Still not sure, something happened to her?
It was dark and bright, and she and Bai Su were walking along another road, one that only the slaves in the courtyard could know.
Just outside the wall, people's voices were rising and falling, and it was very lively.
She and Bai Su quietly left the college and got on the sedan from the back door.
The robbery road that should have been silent and deserted now had many guards appearing.
If they weren't familiar with the alleys in the city, they might not be able to avoid being searched by those people.
She opened the sedan curtain and looked outside.
In the end, what happened?
When I got home, the house was still quiet.
But Ning Liang and Gong Ping were waiting at the door.
As soon as she stepped out of the sedan, she asked, "What happened?"
Compared to Gong Ping's uneasiness, Ning Liang was more calm.
"Replying to sir, the princess was assassinated last night."
"What? When did it happen and who did it?"
Ning Liang shook his head, he had just received the news.
Several people rushed to the fourth brother's study. The fourth brother must have just woken up, so his face was a little pale.
As soon as he saw her, he immediately kicked everyone out, leaving only a few reliable people.
"Little sister, did you do that?"< br>
"Me? You mean, the assassination of the princess?"
Gong Si's eyes were a little uneasy, after all, the younger sister acted differently from them.
Based on her relationship with His Highness Xi, it is really possible that she would do such a thing.
If it was really his little sister who did it, he would probably help her smooth over the matter.
Seeing the worry in the fourth brother's eyes, Lin Mengya almost laughed angrily.
"How is it possible! I want to kill her. There are ten thousand ways to make her die silently. How is it possible that such a commotion would be made?"
Sita College, that is her territory.
If she really wanted that princess' life, she would naturally have many ways to remove her without anyone noticing, and completely distance herself from the Gong family.
Gong Si finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not her.
"As long as it's not you."
Lin Mengya looked at her fourth brother's attitude, and something seemed not right.
"I'm afraid that Fourth Brother is not going to raise an army to hold me accountable, but is he going to help me destroy my body and eliminate all traces?"
Unexpectedly, the fourth brother actually nodded.
"That princess stole your husband first, and then came to our territory to show off behind her. If you really want to teach her a lesson, I think it's just right. It can also let others know that our Gong family is not that easy to bully.
.”
No wonder, according to my great-grandfather, women from the Gong family have a very high status in their husband's family.
With such a tough mother-in-law, how many people are not afraid of her?
"So, if the fourth brother stays behind closed doors, just pretend that he doesn't know?"
"Besides, I also want to avoid suspicion."
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed, and she immediately understood what her fourth brother meant.
They knew the news so quickly because someone in the college had been monitoring Ruxinyuan.
But if the Gong family reacted too quickly, they would be suspected of calling for a thief.
It's better to wait until the right moment and just pretend.
"This matter is all decided by the fourth brother. We must deal with this princess carefully. But don't worry, His Highness has nothing to do with her. He even wants to pull her down."
After she expressed her position on Long Tianyu's behalf, it was also possible for her fourth brother to know how to grasp this measure.
Gong Si raised his eyes, and there was a bit of coldness on his face.
"I see. No wonder she is so arrogant. She wants everyone to know that she is His Highness Xi's princess. She has been making trouble for a long time because she wants the three of them to become tigers. It is fake and real."
Seeing that her fourth brother understood, Lin Mengya knew that she didn't need to say too much.
Then, Gong Si seemed to have remembered something and immediately gave the order.
"Ning Liang, Gong Ping, you two, go find some capable people and search your house for anything that can hide something. Especially in the past few days, there are connections with the outside world.
