Even the heads of several aristocratic families around him showed dissatisfied looks.
Obviously, he felt that her control was too lenient.
But Lin Mengya glanced at him unhurriedly, and then withdrew her gaze.
"Speaking of it, although this Chao Yun brocade is expensive, if you ask for it for a thousand gold, you can buy it. But the pattern of the Chao Yun brocade on the Jiang family is not something ordinary people can recognize. Since the Jiang family wears it,
, you must also know its meaning, right?”
When she mentioned it, everyone noticed that the pattern on Jiang De's clothes was indeed unusual.
The cuffs and neckline could barely be seen to be the pattern of auspicious clouds, but few people present recognized the pattern on the skirt.
On the other hand, an inconspicuous young master sitting in the corner, after staring at it carefully for a long time, his expression changed slightly.
The look on his face that he was hesitant to speak attracted the attention of the people next to him.
"Why, Brother Hong, can you see any clues?"
The owner of the house next to him was very impatient, so he yelled in panic when he saw it.
The head of the Hong family suppressed his blush at this time and regretted it endlessly.
The Hong family was originally a small aristocratic family, and he couldn't afford to offend either of those two people.
Just when he was about to think of a way to evade, Jiang De asked very displeasedly, "Why are you so hesitant? Just say what you said, mother-in-law!"
Lin Mengya also turned her head and looked at the speaker.
She was not as bossy as Jiang De, but instead showed a kind smile.
"No matter what you think of, just say it. Everyone present must also want to hear your opinion."
The head of the Hong family was already on the verge of an arrow. He gritted his teeth and stood up tremblingly.
"The cuffs and collar of the Jiang family are patterned with auspicious clouds, and the pattern on the clothes is in the shape of a lotus seat."
The Hong family head's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
My brain was quick and I understood it instantly.
The lotus seat with auspicious clouds is the pattern of the shrouds that many elderly people from wealthy families prepare for themselves.
Jiang De obviously realized it, and he looked down subconsciously.
When he first saw this pattern, he and the people around him felt that the fabric was extremely gorgeous and the pattern was solemn and majestic.
But if this pattern is really that of a shroud, then the tailors in his house would not dare to tailor it for him.
"Humph! We're just from a small and low-class family. We dare to come here and talk nonsense without fear of being laughed at." >
Jiang De's disdainful tone immediately caused the head of the Hong family to laugh a lot.
The man also lowered his hands, but they were clenched tightly, showing a bit of grievance and unwillingness.
Lin Mengya looked at those losers with cold eyes. They had been flattering her before, but when they saw that there was no profit to be made, they immediately changed their targets.
"The head of the Hong family has extraordinary eyesight. Yes, this design is indeed a lotus seat. But it is not an ordinary lotus seat. It was designed by me personally and drawn by my fourth son. It is dedicated to the birthday gift of my ancestor."
As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with silence.
The older the people in Weiguo were, the more customary it was to prepare shrouds, coffins, etc. in advance.
This is not bad luck. On the contrary, the more carefully the offspring are prepared, the happier the old man will be, showing that his life and death are all perfect.
Jiang De's expression also became a little quick.
But he still stiffened his body unnaturally and tried to maintain his dignity.
"There may be such coincidences in the world, but they are just tricks. Maybe the fabric merchant saw the exquisite pattern, so he copied it and sold it privately."
"If that's the case, then the cloth merchant is really abominable."
She was clearly smiling, but everyone present seemed to feel an aggressive chill radiating from her body.
"It's a pity that the cloth merchant died. Originally, this batch of cloth should have been delivered to our palace at the beginning of last month, but until the end of last month, we did not receive an inch of cloth. By the way, the Xumizuo of this lotus seat
There is a word 'palace' hidden on it. If the cloth merchant really had a change of heart, he shouldn't have dared to print the word 'palace' on it openly, right?"
Every word she said was like a gong and a drum, hitting everyone's heart.
If they say anything to evade now, they will just slap themselves in the face.
Especially Jiang De, now he wants to take off this damn robe and throw it away immediately, but in fact, from his first sentence of differentiation, there are some things that he can no longer escape.
Pursing his lips, Jiang De stared at the woman in front of him bitterly.
"At the beginning of this month, the family of the cloth merchant discovered this man's skeleton at the foot of a cliff. The man's death was really miserable. He was stabbed several times, and his bones were smashed to pieces. He was also killed by jackals in the mountains.
The tigers and leopards gnawed it, and it was true that there was no whole body left. But if he took the things from our palace family and sold them, it would be regarded as evil retribution. But what I am curious about is just a few pieces of Chao Yun Brocade, what does it look like?
buyers, so
Cruel and cruel, not even sparing anyone?"
The whole hall was extremely quiet, and the heads of the aristocratic families all shrank into quails.
Lin Mengya followed her from beginning to end, and every head of the aristocratic family who had been "taken care of" by her eyes couldn't help but wince.
"The caravan designated by my Gong family is like this, let alone other caravans. This time the family leader sent me here to ask for an explanation from everyone present. Although my Gong family never bullies others, if anyone thinks that because of this
Because my Gong family is weak and can be bullied, that would be a big mistake!"
With a "crash", the tea cup in her hand was swept to the ground.
That voice instantly made the aristocratic families in the room tense up.
Only then did they realize that in this world where strength is paramount, even though they could control the wind and rain in their own small world, they were like ants with no room for resistance in front of a truly behemoth.
And they finally understood that the Gong family was not here to visit at all, but to collect debts.
The head of the Chen family wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly complained in his heart...??.
"Mr. Su, everything is easy to discuss, why are you doing this?"
"I'm sorry, Master Chen. I have a bad temper and broke your things. This is a thousand taels of silver notes as my compensation."
She casually tossed out a huge amount of money, and her energy was so calm that she was obviously even more dandy than Jiang De.
And she understood what she meant very clearly. She was not short of money, but she had to give her face.
This time, some people's idea of using money to compensate was blocked.
No matter how rich they are, can they be richer than her?
"It's just a tea cup. Mr. Su doesn't need to be so polite."
Even the head of the Chen family, who has always been eloquent and good at dancing, spoke so dryly that there was no room for him.
The people on the fence around them were even breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment.
They all lowered their heads, but in their hearts they couldn't help but hate the ignorant head of the Jiang family.
Now, the new clothes have truly become a shroud.
"This matter is due to the fact that the people in my house do not know each other. But those who do not know are not guilty. I was also deceived. I believe that even if Mr. Gong is here, he will not pursue it."
With a livid face, Jiang De put all the blame on his servants in a few words.
"Of course my ancestor will not pursue it. According to his seniority, even the head of the Baili family has to respect him as ancestor. He doesn't have the time to deal with such trivial matters."
Lin Mengya didn't even raise her eyelids, and she broke Jiang De's head with just a few words. face.
Don't think that just by climbing into a Baili family, you can walk sideways among these aristocratic families.
Even that old guy from the Baili family is still defeated by her, isn't he?
Jiang De was so angry that his veins popped out after being insulted by a woman over and over again.
"Then what should you do? I have worn these clothes, so is it possible that I have to pay you with my life? Huh! Your palace family is so extravagant and lustful that you kill people. I am just being deceived.
Mr. Su is too strong-minded, right?"
"You are the one using strong words!"
Now, even Zheng Rongrong couldn't sit still. She glared at her eyes and retorted angrily.
"It's obvious that you are coveting the beauty of Chaoyun Brocade, and that's why you want to kill people and steal goods!"
"Miss Zheng, please be careful what you say! If your father were here, he wouldn't dare to talk to me like this."
"you!"
Zheng Rongrong finally knows what it means to be shameless and invincible.
Her skill was not enough, and Lin Mengya had no intention of letting her argue anymore, so he reached out and gently held her arm.
"Based on the financial resources of small aristocratic families like you, the life of our Gong family can indeed be called extravagant. But this is our Gong family's business, and it is not your turn as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks. You
Since you are wearing it, it is disrespectful to my ancestors of the Gong family, and it is also disrespectful to our Gong family. Stop trying to coax me with words that are deceived by others, our Gong family has never been a reasonable place!"
It seems that she was still too polite before.
Let these people forget that whoever has the biggest fist here has the last word.
Jiang De suddenly stood up, his face as dark as ink.
"In this case, Jiang will not accompany me. Master Chen, from now on, Jiang will not be included in the family gatherings. I will take my leave."
"Stop, did I let you go?"
Before the head of the Chen family could stop him, Lin Mengya got mad.
Jiang De ignored him and boldly rushed out. But before he took a step, he felt that his knees were suddenly hit by something.
With a "pop", the person knelt on the ground in embarrassment.
Then, he gritted his teeth and turned to the woman behind him. He saw her stand up gracefully and slowly walked in front of him.
"You took my things and you wanted to run away? Why didn't you ask King Yama if he would let you carry his oil pan?"
"You, what do you want to do? Let me tell you, I am an in-law of the Baili family."
"In-laws? That old man from the Baili family trembles when he sees me. How about you?"
