Chapter 1850: Thief in the middle of the night

 She watched Long Tianyu carefully stuff the dough into it, then put it on the fire and bake it carefully for a while.

The smell of wheat as the dough was being dried actually made her feel a little hungry.

Fortunately, this torture ended quickly, and Long Tianyu carefully pulled out the half-dried dough.

Lin Mengya looked at the marks on the dough, her brain running rapidly.

Because just now, Xiaoyao discovered that the symbols on it might be the kind of symbols that the system can decode.

It was also the first time for Long Tianyu to see such a thing, and he frowned slightly. He looked over and over, but still couldn't figure it out.

Because the traces don't look like handwriting, nor do they look like paintings, but rather like some kind of pattern.

"Is it a painting or a family crest?"

Long Tianyu wasn't sure, and Lin Mengya didn't have any concrete results.

"This should only be part of it. The decoding function in my system shows that it may be some kind of text, but it is not complete."

She explained in a low voice. After hearing this, Long Tianyu became more cautious.

After kneading the dough into a ball three times, five times and two times, reinstall the mirror.

"In that case, you'd better keep it well first. When you get back, I'll have someone make an identical handle for you."

This man is always more attentive to her matters than anyone else.

Lin Mengya put away the bronze mirror properly. She got a lot of useful news today.

At least the marriage certificate, which might have caused disputes, was now back in her hands.

Although she didn't know how many holes her ancestors had dug for her, at least she had a near miss.

The two fell asleep together, and Long Tianyu would always hold her in his arms as a protector.

The night was dark and the world seemed to have become quiet.

But it didn't take long for Long Tianyu to notice the sound of the rubble on the roof being stepped on.

He opened his eyes suddenly and stood up quietly, but he startled her in his arms.

"I'll go out and take a look."

Showing her the lip-syncs, Lin Mengya immediately woke up from her daze.

I huddled under the quilt obediently and watched him leave.

After releasing the detection function, she found four people hiding on the roof.

With Yu here, she didn't worry that the other party was coming for her.

But these four people were heading towards the southeast corner of the inn.

It seems that the Zheng family lives there.

After the people on the roof left, she quietly got up and put on her clothes.

Yu must have noticed their movements, otherwise he wouldn't have checked the situation.

She waited for a moment, but Yu did not show up easily.

Instead, they excited the guards of the Zheng family in advance. After a period of chaos, the group of intruders left without fighting.

This time and again, the people in the inn were thrown into disarray.

But there is no shortage of people on their side.

She didn't think that those people just came to have a look and then left.

After a while, Long Tianyu returned to the house with a cold face.

"Zheng Congen is missing."

"What?"

"That group of people should have come for Zheng Rongrong, but I just went in to check, and Zheng Congen was not in the inn at all. My people didn't see him coming back either."

Because of Zheng Congen's special status, there must be accompanying guards around her, so she and Long Tianyu did not bother to send anyone to protect her.

But just because of this, those people have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Sister Su, my father, he, he"

Outside the door, Zheng Rongrong burst in with eyes red from crying.

The girl who had been able to endure all kinds of suffering in the fiefdom before, burst into tears after learning that her father might be in danger.

Lin Mengya patted her back gently, took out a dry and soft cloth, and gently wiped her tears.

"Don't be afraid, your father will be fine. Axiu, call our people and search for him with the Zheng family. Also, don't alert other people."

At this time, if it is known that the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Zheng family are unknown, then Zheng Rongrong's situation will be much more dangerous.

Those aristocratic families are all eyeing the power of the Zheng family.

If they are given the opportunity, they will inevitably not have evil thoughts.

Although the people of the Zheng family were panicked, fortunately with Zheng Rongrong as the backbone, and with the help of the people of the Gong family, things were not too messy.

Until dawn, their people still found nothing.

Zheng Rongrong had already fainted from crying once, and Lin Mengya was also frowning.

There is no way to continue like this. They don't know what the other party's intention is.

According to the memories of the secret guards who were guarding the inn last night, Mr. Zheng left on his own initiative.

He only had his confidant butler with him.

As for where he went and who he met, there is no news at all.

On the bed, Zheng Rongrong was about to wake up and looked at her expectantly.

"My father, is he back?"

Although cruel, Lin Mengya could not lie to her.

"Not yet, maybe there will be news in a while."

In an instant, hope left those watery eyes.

Zheng Rongrong lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly.

"Maybe, maybe if I hadn't

If I followed my father, maybe if I had listened to them, my father would not have disappeared."

Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she felt that her eye sockets were burning and stinging.

Lin Mengya could not be comforted any more.

The missing ones are Zheng Rongrong's relatives, and only she can understand the feeling.

Others' easy explanations couldn't help her get out of the corner.

Lin Mengya walked over and firmly held Zheng Rongrong's cold hand.

"We will look for it together with you. Now, don't give up in a hurry, okay?"

The woman's gentle words seemed to be the only life-saving straw that Zheng Rongrong could grasp now.

She raised her head anxiously, like a frightened deer.

Lin Mengya held her in her arms and patted her shoulders gently.

Outside the door, Long Tianyu, who had been looking for someone all night, received a letter.

To be precise, it's a blackmail letter.

"There's news."

As soon as he stepped into the room, Zheng Rongrong rushed up to him.

"Is there any news about my father? Where is he? When will he come back?"

Long Tianyu did not answer, but put his heart on the table.

At one glance, Lin Mengya saw the dark color hidden in Yu's eyes.

"They, how could they do this! For the sake of the position of the head of the family, don't they even care about the slightest bit of family affection?"

After reading the letter, Zheng Rongrong was so angry that she trembled.

Lin Mengya saw that something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to take the letter.

I only saw a few lines of words written on the thin page of paper.

"If you want Zheng Congen to survive, take the Zheng family's secret treasure to Sanliting outside the city at midnight tonight, otherwise we will wait to collect his body!"

The secret treasure of the Zheng family? Could it be that it is the marriage certificate between the Zheng family and the Gong family?

In an instant, she understood.

Under the circumstances last night, the only person who could ask Zheng Congen out was an acquaintance.

And because he returned the marriage certificate and the bronze mirror to himself, he probably felt relaxed.

But I don't want to, so I offend people who really care about these things.

"What should I do? The secret treasure, even I don't know where the Zheng family's secret treasure is. How can I save my father!"

Zheng Rongrong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but fortunately Lin Mengya still maintained her sense.

"Don't be impatient. Let me ask you, did your father tell you anything when he left last night?"

"When my father left, he seemed to have told me that from now on, he would never let me be wronged again. It must be Zheng Luxi who did it. No one except him would care about the Zheng family secret.
precious."

She knew the cause and effect, and it was not difficult to guess that it was the second roommate of the Zheng family who did it.

But Zheng Rongrong knew at a glance that she was kept in the dark. How did she guess it?

"Because, only by obtaining the secret treasure of the Zheng family can one be considered the true head of the Zheng family. Over the years, although my father has cultivated him as an heir, he has never given him the secret treasure. Therefore, he must be angry from embarrassment!"

So that's the case, no wonder Zheng Luxi acted so boldly and arrogantly, but still didn't dare to break up with Mr. Zheng.

Seeing the girl crying anxiously, Lin Mengya had a plan in mind.

"Yu, come out with me for a moment."

The inn rented by the Zheng family suddenly became quiet after being bustling for a whole day.

This made the other aristocratic families who had been watching from outside look confused.

They wanted to find out, but the Zheng family was very strict.

The people from the Gong family also followed him everywhere, leaving them no chance at all.

Just when I was scratching my head, I suddenly heard that someone from the Zheng family had gone to the Chen family to report that Mr. Zheng had caught a cold occasionally due to the rush and had not seen visitors for the past few days.

The head of the Chen family was also full of suspicion, so he could only send someone to visit first.

Across the door, the man only said a few words to Mr. Zheng and was sent out.

However, it was also confirmed that Mr. Zheng was indeed just ill.

When the news came out, those who had their thoughts had to suppress it for the time being.

In addition, Mr. Su from the Gong family was not someone to be trifled with, so this group of people no longer stared at the Zheng family like leeches.

"Is this really okay? Otherwise, I'd better go by myself!"

In Zheng Rongrong's room, she looked at Lin Mengya sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing her own clothes, with some uneasiness.

The latter used some unknown method. In just one day, he not only disguised himself as her, but also imitated her voice so perfectly that even when someone from the Chen family came to visit, Sister Su was able to imitate the real one.

, making it impossible for anyone to detect even the slightest flaw.

If she hadn't had something on her mind, she would have pestered him now to learn these strange and obscene skills.

Lin Mengya adjusted her face slightly.

Time was tight this time, so she couldn't make the exact same mask piece by piece.

Fortunately, she has acupuncture techniques that can temporarily change the direction of the facial muscles.

However, it cannot be used frequently, otherwise the muscles will be damaged and her beauty will be ruined.

"Since I want to go for you, I have my own reasons. Just be obedient. After I go out in a while, you will hide in the house. When I come back, you will come out again."
