Unfortunately, the time for happy gossip is always so short.
They had just arrived in the Zhao family's territory, and the news seemed to have wings and flew to the ears of interested people.
Aunt Lan came uninvited and came to ask Fang Rao for instructions.
"Miss, Mrs. Jing has brought someone to greet us."
When she said this, Aunt Lan's tone was a little unhappy.
Thinking about Mrs. Jing, she was just Elder Zhao's side wife, but now she is pretending to be a formal wife. Where does this put her young lady?
In the past, she and the young lady thought that the man was very responsible, but now it seems that he is just a coquettish person who wants to get the upper hand.
But Fang Rao didn't seem to care that much.
She turned around and said softly to Lin Mengya, "You don't have to worry when you get here. Take good care of your own injuries. I'll be back when I go."
Thinking that this was a family matter, Lin Mengya didn't want to interrupt, so she just nodded to indicate that she didn't have to worry about her.
Although her ears are not as sensitive as before due to recuperation, her ability to distinguish lip reading is still there.
A few carriages away, she saw Aunt Fang and Aunt Lan talking to Mrs. Jing who came to greet her.
Although the wife and concubine appeared to be harmonious on the surface, in fact they had secretly quarreled several times when they first met.
She actually enjoyed watching it, but for some reason, it got involved in her while talking.
Mrs. Jing covered her lips, not knowing what she said.
The next moment, Aunt Fang's face looked a little strange and darkened, as if she was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Jing.
But looking at Mrs. Jing's confident look, one knew that this guy must have come prepared.
Lin Mengya held her chin, wondering about the other party's intentions.
What kind of bad water are you holding back?
After a while, Long Tianyu arrived in front of her carriage.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two parties who were negotiating in front.
Long Tianyu understood immediately, raised his head and told his wife honestly.
"Mrs. Jing is here to catch the assassin who assassinated the elder of the Zhao family."
Killer?
Lin Mengya couldn't help but curl her lips.
What a coincidence.
When the killer can't be caught, he has to block his wife's carriage and search it.
It can be seen that arresting people is fake, and finding trouble is real.
She knocked on the carriage to communicate with him, "Tell Aunt Fang that they can search if they want. Anyway, if anyone dares to do anything under our noses, she will be in trouble."
Long Tianyu couldn't help but smile and chuckled in a low voice, "Madam is right."
It was probably Long Tianyu who personally conveyed the message to Aunt Fang. Although the negotiation between the two parties was not pleasant, after all, it was They took a step back and were inspected.
Soon, someone came to search her carriage.
The leader was a middle-aged man who looked quite shrewd at first glance. Aunt Lan followed closely behind her and repeatedly emphasized to the other person with a stern face.
"This is my wife's niece. She is timid and can't speak. Please be gentle, so as not to frighten our young lady!"
After hearing this, those people could not help but feel a little timid.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man at the head's eyes flashed, and he said, "This is natural, but they are strangers. The clan elders said that strangers must pay more attention. Besides, we are just checking whether she is the murderer, naturally not
It just scares people."
Aunt Lan was quite dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to make a note of it secretly, and wait until the elder came back to file a serious complaint.
When the middle-aged man saw the frail little girl, he felt that this was a great opportunity.
At that moment, he secretly glanced at his subordinates.
The latter immediately understood and blocked him with his body.
The man showed an unknown smile towards Lin Mengya.
"You really can't speak?"
Lin Mengya tilted her head and blinked.
The middle-aged man continued to ask patiently, "If you can speak, just say it and I will let you go, okay?"
Listening to the other party's coaxing tone, Lin Mengya felt something strange.
She pointed to her throat and shook her head.
I saw the smile on the middle-aged man's face getting deeper and deeper.
"It seems that you really can't speak, but it doesn't matter if you can speak. Soon, you won't be able to speak anymore."
These words are full of danger.
Lin Mengya was on guard all over, but at this moment, she saw the man take out a tattered bloody clothes from his arms, and then stuffed it casually into her luggage.
In an instant, she understood the other party's intention.
This is a clear frame-up!
But at this time, she had no time to react. She only heard the man suddenly raise his voice and say, "Come on, I found the bloody suit worn by the assassin. Come on, get him!"
The man's eyes flashed with pride.
On the contrary, there was urgency and vigilance in his tone, as if he was really facing a formidable enemy.
"You actually dare to resist! Let me see where you run this time!"
As he said that, the man secretly pulled out the short knife hidden in his waist and rushed towards her.
That way, he was clearly preparing to kill someone and silence him!
At this moment, Lin Mengya, who was as helpless as a lamb and could only be slaughtered by others, suddenly showed a faint smile.
That smile was so weird that even the middle-aged man, who had already made up his mind to kill someone, was startled.
In such a short moment, a silver sword broke through the window.
The martial arts of the woman holding the sword are several times stronger than that of the man.
With one stab and one slash, the man's hand that was still holding the dagger was sliced off by her.
"ah--"
A piercing scream was heard.
Because the carriage door was blocked by a man's men, no one present knew what was going on.
By the time they reacted, the man had already fainted.
Bai Su, with a cold face, was guarding Lin Mengya with a long sword in his hand.
"What's going on? What did you do?"
Fang Rao was the first to quit, and hurried over to confront those scoundrels.
"I tell you, these are all my relatives, and they are all the elders themselves! Now that you don't listen to the elders, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Fang Rao's harsh words made these people panic.
After all, this was different from the ending they had imagined before.
For a moment, those people froze on the spot, and they knew something was wrong at a glance.
The anger in Fang Rao's eyes could almost turn into reality.
She finally understood it today. The long-lasting fuss and the hunt for the killer were all prepared for her.
Immediately, the lady who had been in charge of the Zhao family's back house for more than ten years really lost her temper and scolded everyone.
In the end, even Mrs. Jing's repeated attempts to refute were rejected by Fang Rao domineeringly.
This is the first time that Mrs. Jing has been humiliated like this in front of everyone.
At that moment, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and moved out of her support.
"Sister, these are all orders from my fourth uncle. Can you even look down on him?"
But this time, Fang Rao just sneered and said without mercy, "Really? Then let him tell me himself. Let me tell you, my father is the master of this family. Fourth uncle, it is better to let him take good care of himself."
Good luck!"
Mrs. Jing, who has been holding back her anger for so many years, cannot resist it.
She saw with her own eyes that the middle-aged man was kicked out of the carriage by the maid holding the long sword, and then, the severed hand still holding the short sword.
At this time, the man who had been sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a silver mask silently pressed over the unconscious middle-aged man.
"Go back and tell your parents if you dare to My wife will take action, and I will personally collect this debt."
The cold voice made Madam Jing feel like she was in a cold weather.
As the carriage sped away, Mrs. Jing couldn't help biting her lip, but her heart was beating wildly.
Such rubbish!
He can't even handle this little thing.
"Carry the people up and let's go!"
In the end, she could only take that cripple and leave in despair.
Along the way, I never encountered any obstacles.
The carriage still smelled of blood, so she was too lazy to stay in it any longer and prepared to come down to get some air.
Pushing Long Tianyu's wheelchair, they stopped and walked along the way, and took a tour of this small town called "Chunfeng".
The Zhao family was not comparable to a small family like the Fang family, and even the original Sheng family was slightly inferior to the Zhao family.
And this is not just because of Zhao Yixuan's status in the Presbyterian Church.
I heard from Aunt Lan that Elder Zhao Yixuan was actually a business genius.
In just ten years, the Zhao family's fortune has doubled.
Nowadays, some of the financial lifelines of the Presbyterian Church are in his hands.
It's no wonder that such a talent is so valued.
In Fengchun City, everyone seems to be living a pretty good life.
But when she arrived at Elder Zhao's residence, she felt a little strange.
He tapped Long Tianyu's shoulder with his small hand and asked, "Do you think this Zhao Mansion looks a bit familiar?"
Long Tianyu squinted his eyes and saw that it was true.
"It looks a bit like the Huo family's old house."
"It seems that Elder Zhao has really taken great pains for Aunt Fang." She sighed in code.
However, Long Tianyu had a different view.
"What's the use of this? It's not to make Mrs. Zhao see things and miss people all day long. If it were me, a dead person would be a dead person. I won't allow the heart of the person I love to be completely filled with a dead person. When I live, I am
biggest advantage."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya couldn't help but pinch him.
This man is really special!
Isn't it said that dead people are the most unwinnable? It would be better for him to do the opposite.
"Madam, you are finally back! Go and inform the old lady that she is back!"
When the housekeeper who came to open the door saw Fang Rao, his face immediately showed an expression of surprise.
On the other hand, Fang Rao's face immediately darkened when he heard the words "Old Madam".
"Which old lady?" she asked.
The housekeeper said in a low voice with some embarrassment, "That's the master's mother."
