Lin Mengya's expression was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning after she sent away Jin, who was puzzled by her.
Baisu knew that her master had something on her mind when she saw her frown.
She deliberately went out and walked around, only to find several sneaky figures in the corner.
She deliberately did not make a sound and just went back.
When she returned to the room, she saw Lin Mengya sitting by the window and drinking tea. There was a solemn look in his eyes.
After seeing her return to the room, Lin Mengya put down the tea coins in her hand and said after a moment of hesitation.
"Baisu, let's go out for a walk to digest the food."
"Yes."
The master and servant stepped out of the door and casually played in the north courtyard.
Finally, there was no one around to disturb them. Lin Mengya lowered the volume and whispered to Baisu.
"Is there someone watching us?"
Baisu also acted as if nothing had happened.
"There are at least three people, but they don't seem to be from the An family. Master, do you know something about what happened last night? "
It seemed that they had sent a few cannon fodder.
"Indeed, I did it. Don't make a sound and let them continue to watch. Anyway, they don't know what happened. "
Yesterday, she had expected that Uncle Dong and his men would not be at a disadvantage, so she put the flower ghost outside the bed when she went to bed at night.
Baisu was always by her side, and she had the pills made by her teacher, so the flower ghost naturally would not attack Baisu.
As for those who wanted to sneak in with evil intentions, they deserved to be unlucky.
The reason why Uncle Dong did not pursue it was very likely that it was not his order.
Thinking about it, if Uncle Dong had done this kind of dirty trick, he would have done it in a more ingenious way.
The reason why he did not make a sound was that he did not want her to know what these people wanted to do.
They must bear this silent grievance!
After wandering outside for a while, when she returned to the room, An Zichen suddenly came to visit at this time.
"Childe An, why are you in such a hurry?"
As soon as she sat down, Jin hurriedly came in to report. Then, An Zichen almost could not maintain his proper demeanor and walked quickly to her.
"Did you hear anything strange last night?"
Lin Mengya shook her head innocently.
"No, Baisu and I slept very soundly. We almost slept until dawn. We even met a mouse. Why? Is there a problem?"
Only then did An Zichen calm himself down and sit to the side as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"That's good. You and Baisu must be very careful these days. I'm afraid that some uninvited guests have already entered the house. "
"Was it because someone died last night?"
Lin Mengya thought for a moment, thinking that he was talking about this.
However, An Zichen's expression was dark and gloomy. After a long while, he finally answered her question.
"It's true that two people died for no reason, but I heard from the people around Uncle Dong that someone else died last night. However, the corpse had disappeared. Uncle Dong has been concealing this all this time. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on. "
He didn't expect there to be such an inside story.
It seemed that the An family was not the only one who had been thinking about her and Baisu last night.
"Thank you for telling me. You don't have to worry about me and Baisu. You, on the other hand, should pay more attention to our supplies on the ship. After all, if you and I die in the sea at the same time, it will save a lot of trouble for others. "
An Zichen agreed with a solemn look on his face. Lin Mengya knew that An Zichen was more anxious about this matter than she was.
After all, An Zichen and An Jin's trusted subordinates were the only ones on the ship who sincerely hoped that she could return to the Gong family safely.
This ship might not be so stable.
Just as An Zichen had said, Uncle Dong still did not make any moves, but the disciples of the An family who came and went were no longer as frivolous as before.
They were forced to stop partying at night, and many of the women who depended on them had mysteriously disappeared.
Everyone in the house felt insecure.
And this was only the first day after the incident.
At night, Lin Mengya and Baisu went to bed early as usual.
When they were half asleep, they suddenly heard loud shouts from outside.
Baisu was alert. She immediately picked up her sword and dashed out of the door.
At the same time, Lin Mengya got up and put on her clothes.
"How is it?"
Baisu immediately jumped onto the eaves and returned to her side after taking a few glances.
"It seems that a place is on fire. Master, shall we go and have a look?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya felt that there would definitely be trouble in the chaos.
But they might not be safe here. To be safe, it was better for her to stay with most of the people.
"Let's go and have a look. Take everything with you and lock the door."
"Yes."
Along the way, there were many people trying to put out the fire.
Lin Mengya and Baisu walked along the wall so that they would not be conspicuous or in the way.
Soon, they arrived at the scene of the fire and found out that the place of the fire was a warehouse in the backyard.
"Hurry up, go and put out the fire!"
Around them, there were people yelling.
From afar, Lin Mengya saw Uncle Dong, who was angry, and An Zichen, who seemed to be calmer.
It seemed that what she had expected was right.
"Uncle Dong, Master An."
They also saw her. Lin Mengya came over to greet them and found that Uncle Dong looked unfriendly.
"It's okay, the fire is under control. Sorry to disturb you."
An Zichen did not look disheveled. Although the fire happened suddenly, he was fully dressed, unlike the people beside him, whose clothes were mostly unbuttoned.
"It's okay, where is this place? How could there be a fire?"
"How dare you ask! If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have happened! It's okay that you're from a lowly family, but don't get us into trouble and can't go home! "
A man beside Uncle Dong shouted. Obviously, he was so angry that he could not care less about pretending.
Lin Mengya was not angry, nor was she in a hurry to talk back. She just glanced at him indifferently and smiled.
"I didn't invite you here. You came here willingly. What does it have to do with me? You know what you're here for. Don't blame others when something happens. Otherwise, you'll fall into their trap without knowing it. "
Her words were cold. Even the temperature of the people beside them could not warm them up.
The man was about to say something dirty, but Uncle Dong waved his hand and asked someone to hold him back.
"Miss Lin is right, but this matter is really strange. To ensure your safety, let's talk in the house."
Lin Mengya was not afraid of him at all.
Uncle Dong glared at the man who spoke without any care, turned around and led his men into the main house of the south courtyard.
This place was much better than the north courtyard, but Lin Mengya could not put her heart into it.
She found a place and sat down.
Uncle Dong did not ask others to come in, but only An Zichen and Jin followed her.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and knew that this Uncle Dong was really a cunning man.
"My nephew was rude just now, please don't blame him, Miss Lin."
"How dare I blame him? Now everyone is just giving me a way out. If I blame him, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"
Uncle Dong was not angry. He was not a junior, so he naturally knew what was important and what was not.
"Miss Lin, there is obviously a hidden meaning in your words. Now that there are only a few of us here, you can speak your mind."
Indeed, everyone in this house, for whatever reason, hoped that she could return to the Gong Family.
Although Uncle Dong did not get along with An Zichen, he knew that An Zichen was upright and would never set Lin Mengya up.
Therefore, Lin Mengya felt that Uncle Dong was an old fox.
But for the sake of the big picture, she had to choose to cooperate with him.
"I met a group of people on my way here. I won't say much, but I killed one by mistake. This person is definitely from the An Family. "
An Zichen was stunned. He knew that she was talking about the green jade pendant.
He immediately took it out and presented it to Uncle Dong.
"This is, damn it!"
Uncle Dong's expression changed as he crushed the jade pendant, which was not expensive at all.
Obviously, he had recognized who it belonged to.
"I heard from An Zichen that only the families can build a boat that can cross the sea. But without an accurate map, it is very easy for the boat to get lost on the sea. If they are faster than you, such a big boat will definitely be discovered by you. If they are slower than you, they will lose the chance to attack if they miss you. Unless they arrive at the same time as you, and you can't detect them. "
From the moment the identity jade pendant of the An Family appeared, Lin Mengya had a seed of suspicion in her heart.
If the An Family did not betray them, it meant that there was a spy among them.
"It doesn't matter whether we can return to the Gong Family or not. What's important is that what they burned today should be the supplies we need for the journey, right? In this way, they will have enough time to destroy the boat. By that time, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life, and I will become their target. "
Lin Mengya was no stranger to this kind of tactic, which was to harm one's own people.
In fact, she could not have warned them and sneak away with Baisu.
This was still her territory, and it was easy to hide from these people.
However, as long as she was alive, someone would come looking for her.
In this case, she might as well help them to get rid of them.
"Hmph! That's easy. If the boat of the An Family can be destroyed so easily, they are underestimating us. "
Although Uncle Dong was angry, he was too confident in the An Family.
Lin Mengya shrugged helplessly.
"They don't have to destroy it so thoroughly. I'm sure they know that it's not easy to catch me on land. But if I'm alone on the sea, as long as the ship sinks, won't I be finished? "
This was the most vicious way. If she had to do it, she would choose to do it.
