Although Long Mengru still looked angry, she became much calmer in front of her grandfather.
Shangguan Lei's thoughtful eyes turned to his granddaughter, but after a moment, he turned away.
I really don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but compared to the useless grandson, this girl turns out to be more like her mother, a person, and more capable.
If Mengru were a man, then he wouldn't have to think about it anymore.
"I understand what your mother means. Your uncle did this in private. I have already punished you. You can go and report to your mother, and she won't have to worry about this matter."
Although Shangguan Lei said that he had punished his son, his tone did not feel that he had made any mistakes.
Long Mengru's delicate brows furrowed slightly. For many years, her grandfather had been away from home, but she had not cared about family affairs and allowed her mother to make the final decision.
Now, what does this mean?
"What do you mean by this? Don't you know, grandpa, that this matter is enough to give my father the reason to eradicate our Shangguan family? Don't you know how hard my mother has been to maintain these years?
What?"
Long Mengru was a little excited, but what she was actually more concerned about was that if the Shangguan family suffered a heavy blow, then her position and that of her mother would also be implicated.
Because I was excited, my words became much more intense.
However, when he saw his grandfather's eagle eyes, like a stranger's, he froze in his tracks.
Long Mengru suddenly became speechless.
That look was definitely not the way a grandfather would look at his granddaughter.
It's more like he is sizing up his opponent.
In a very short moment, alarm bells rang in Long Mengru's heart.
Although the chill in Shangguan Lei's eyes was fleeting, Long Mengru, who was born to be extremely sensitive to such things, still sensed something from her grandfather's attitude.
In my heart, I suppressed my anger and trembling.
Over the years of living in the palace, she has already perfected her ability to disguise herself.
Even though she noticed something, there was no flaw in the expression on Long Mengru's face.
Perhaps, in the eyes of her grandfather, she was just a willful princess.
Then, let them think like this forever.
"If you respond like this, your mother will naturally understand. She has worked hard for so many years. So, I came back to help her. Okay, you can have someone send her back. There are many people in the palace, don't let her be
People discovered it.”
As the patriarch of the entire family, Shangguan Lei's words are naturally the most weighty. Even the old lady of Shangguan has to obey her husband's orders.
Holding her granddaughter's hand, Mrs. Shangguan naturally knew that her always stubborn granddaughter was naturally dissatisfied with this outcome.
Not now, they have no choice but to accept Shangguan Lei's arrangement for the time being.
Being pulled by her grandmother, Long Mengru had a look of resentment on her face and arrived at the inner courtyard where the family members lived.
Stepping into the courtyard where her grandmother lived, the fragrance of orchids made the expression on Long Mengru's face slightly relieved.
She often came here to play when she was a child, but because she was young and her skin was tender, she rarely got bitten by small insects.
Therefore, my grandmother asked her servants to cultivate this kind of orchid that can repel insects except in winter.
As soon as her nose smelled this smell, which was deep in her memory, Long Mengru's mood naturally improved a little.
Here, my grandmother is the only one who truly loves her and my mother.
He took his granddaughter to the inner hall, waved his hand, and sent away all the outsiders in the room.
Under the bright candles, Mrs. Shangguan's noble and proud face could only be seen doting on her granddaughter at this moment.
"Grandma, look at my grandfather. Others don't know how hard it was for my mother to get through this today, but you know everything about it, don't you?"
As she clung to her grandmother's side aggrievedly, Long Mengru knew very well that her grandmother and grandfather were not of the same mind.
Sure enough, her grandmother stroked her hair lovingly, but the soft whisper that came into her ear made Long Mengru feel a slight shock in her heart.
"Your grandfather, he let those people lose his mind. I have long said that nothing good can come out of an actor's belly. Alas, it's a pity for Zhu'er and Qing'er. If it weren't for me, a mother-in-law,
Incompetent, even your uncle can’t do it”
Long Mengru also knew a lot about this matter.
My grandmother came from a wealthy family, and she and my grandfather were the right match.
However, my grandmother was not lucky when she was young. After giving birth to two daughters, her own mother and her aunt, she gave birth to a sickly baby boy.
Since childhood, her uncle had grown up soaked in potion.
Although he has an extraordinary mind, his body is a sickly thing that shakes when the wind blows.
This would be a drag on an ordinary family, let alone a family of military commanders like theirs?
Therefore, my grandfather took in several more concubines.
Fortunately, my grandmother was very powerful and my grandfather also respected her, so these concubines did not cause any trouble.
However, the sons they gave birth to were tougher than the last.
Now that the son is older, if it weren't for the mother's gain, I'm afraid those concubines would have wanted to climb over the grandmother's head and dominate her.
"Hmph, how dare you, a humble concubine, compete with your uncle for position? Now, you want to extend your hand to the palace, damn it!"
In Long Mengru's heart, she did not regard those guys as her uncles.
Since he is a concubine, he is destined to become a stepping stone for noble descendants like them.
But now, these dogs dare to climb on their owner's head. How can she endure this!
"So, you and your mother must be careful. Now, I haven't been with your grandfather for a long time. Those charming people must not be a good thing in his ears. At home, I can still suppress it for the time being.
It's up to you to live in it, but it will be difficult in the palace from now on."
What Mrs. Shangguan is most worried about is of course her daughter and grandchildren.
He nodded thoughtfully, if his mother and he lost the support of his grandfather's family now, then there would be many more obstacles on the road to seizing the legitimate heir.
A sinister cold look flashed across those bright eyes.
If they are really in the way, then you have to make some preparations in advance.
No one can block his own way. If they don't understand, then he can only send them to meet the ancestors of the Shangguan family!
Tonight, no matter where we are, is destined to be unstable.
Lin Mengya had only slept for half an hour when she opened her eyes in the dark night.
She sighed quietly, ever since she and Long Tianyu became husband and wife, she always fell asleep in his arms.
Now, without his embrace, Lin Mengya felt that she was not used to it.
After lighting the night candle, she discovered that at some point, a dark figure stood in front of the door.
Just as he was about to call someone, Qinghu's worried face gradually appeared in the candlelight.
"I'm scared to death. It's so late. What are you doing here without sleeping?"
Lin Mengya patted her chest gently, and then, a piece of clothing that was still warm from Qinghu's body was draped on her back.
"When I went to Shen's Mansion today, I found some clues. The deaths of these people may be related to the Zhulong Society. Therefore, I think it is best for you and your father not to get involved in this matter."
Qing Fox God The look is solemn, without the participation of the Zhulong Society, Lin Mengya would be safe.
But now, there are some abnormalities in the relationship between him and the Candle Dragon Society.
As a result, he now no longer has a clear understanding of the actions of the Candle Dragon Society. Naturally, he has even more worries in his heart.
"It's the Candle Dragon Society again, what do they want to do?"
This lingering thing is now even more involved in this matter.
But aren't they secretly colluding with the prince and the queen?
Could it be said that the destruction of the entire Shen family was the instruction of the Queen and the Crown Prince?
Lin Mengya thought for a moment, but still felt that she had missed something.
Seeing her thinking so hard, Qinghu didn't bother her anymore.
After all, Lin Mengya has her own plans, and the people in the Zhulong Society also have their own ways of doing things.
As long as she is not exposed, Lin Mengya's safety can be barely guaranteed.
However, the premise is that she is not on the Candle Dragon Society's mission list.
"Father said that later a group of people went to Shen's house to look for something. Did you see what they were looking for?"
Qinghu thought for a while, but shook his head.
"They searched very carefully, but when I looked at it later, I really couldn't see any clues. Oh, by the way, if there is anything missing, it is a hairpin on Mrs. Shen's head, which seems to be missing. It disappeared after that. Because before, Mrs. Shen’s head was the only one with eyes closed and a peaceful face. So, I remember it very clearly.”
Compared to martial arts, my father may be better than Qinghu.
But for such details, my father may not be as careful as he is.
"There is only one hairpin missing, are you sure? Do you still remember what the hairpin looks like?"
Qinghu tried hard to recall, after all, he just glanced at it.
For a long time, Qinghu could only shake his head, expressing his powerlessness.
He can remember it, which is already very good. If you want him to remember it, it is really difficult.
"Maybe it's just a group of thieves taking advantage of the situation."
Lin Mengya herself would not believe this reason.
But she has no extra clues. Now everything is controlled by the emperor's people. Even if she wants to participate, he is afraid that the emperor will not agree.
However, now she is trapped at home. If she had not run home by herself, I am afraid that now she would have to be a canary in captivity in the palace.
She must do something to help her father and Long Tianyu.
