An Zichen, who was on the verge of breaking down, forced himself to slowly rein in his emotions.
More than ten seconds later, An Zichen was still the gentle young man, but in Lin Mengya's heart, he had a different opinion.
It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
She gradually understood many things.
"I'm not that noble. My father was born in the Gong Family, but his status was not high. He married into the An Family. However, my grandfather appreciated his character and character. That's why I fought for this opportunity. Fourth Uncle and Ninth Uncle are like fire and water, and Uncle Dong is Fourth Uncle's right-hand man. I got rid of him so that my grandfather and Ninth Uncle would value me more. Everyone has their own selfish motives, and so do I. "
Lin Mengya pursed her lips and finally broke into a smile.
This man was so honest that he was a little cute.
Perhaps it was because he felt that using others to achieve his own goals was not what a gentleman would do.
That was why he smeared a layer of mud on his character.
A true gentleman was also a true villain. She'd never been able to bring herself to hate people like An Zichen too much.
But it was okay to take revenge on him.
But now was not the time.
"That's fine as well. They're trapped there and can't even beg for death. But aren't you afraid that they will collude with the local families and become the local overlords? "
An Zichen looked at her and frowned slightly. Then he saw the smile on her face, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"It seems that I have no choice but to agree to your conditions."
Lin Mengya smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
"I'll be honest with you. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I'm going to kill Uncle Dong and his gang. But you can't kill me. So, you'd better agree to my conditions as much as possible. "
"Are you threatening me?"
An Zichen did not know whether to laugh or cry. Who would threaten others like this?
"Yes, that's right."
Lin Mengya nodded, and the sincerity in her eyes was hard to ignore.
"Alright, I agree to your conditions. In fact, before I came here, my grandfather had told me to tell you the truth. The An family is now divided into two factions. One is the moderate faction led by my grandfather and Ninth Uncle. They advocate maintaining the status quo and supporting you to regain control of the Gong family. In this way, the two families were on good terms and fought against the foreign enemies together. The other faction is the radical faction led by Fourth Uncle. They want to seize the opportunity to annex the Gong family so that they can become the leader of the top ten families. "
The situation was a little tricky.
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask. Why didn't the Gong family send anyone over when they summoned me? Don't tell me they don't know that Fourth Uncle An's faction harbors ill intentions towards me? "
She didn't really care whether she became the family head or not.
However, if no one in the Gong Family was on her side, she would be like a lamb in a tiger's den, chewed to the bone.
"The Gong Family's power is no longer what it used to be. Even their fiefdom has been taken over by the surrounding families. And now, some of the branches of the Gong family were eyeing the direct descendants covetously. If they come out, they will only bring you more trouble. "
'This is really … tragic!'
Lin Mengya couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for herself. She still remembered that when she first came back, she was also poor and had nothing.
Now she finally had a chance to show off, but she was still a good-for-nothing.
Probably, she was born to be self-reliant.
"Alright, but I'm curious. Why do you answer me whenever I ask about the Gong Family's situation? But once I ask about the Gong Family's attitude towards me, you never answer me directly. "
"Ahem." An Zichen coughed slightly and moved his eyes to the other side guiltily.
"What you hear is false, but what you see is true. You'll know what kind of family the Gong Family is. "
It was the same answer. Lin Mengya even suspected that the environment in the Gong Family was so bad that even An Zichen could not bear to say it.
But after thinking about it, she felt that this guy's attitude was very strange.
It seemed that some things could only be known when she saw it.
She turned around and returned to the cabin where she lived.
She didn't know when Mo Yan had been sent back. At this moment, he was sleeping in a small cradle in front of her bed.
Lin Mengya took a few steps forward and threw herself in front of Mo Yan's cradle. She reached out and gently touched the boy's snow-white and delicate little face.
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to accompany me."
It had only been half a year since she last saw him. The change in this boy was amazing.
Even though she was asleep, her facial features still revealed a rare beauty.
He must be another little monster when he grew up.
She couldn't help thinking of the big monster and the smaller monster at home.
She missed them so much. The longing was like a sharp knife, which only tore her heart into pieces.
Sailing on the sea was a little boring, especially because of the conditions. In the sea near them, there was almost no trace of any ship.
In the beginning, Lin Mengya would remember the days one by one, so that later, she was too lazy to count.
Ten months passed in the blink of an eye.
They set off in the middle of summer and arrived at the beginning of summer.
When Jin told her the news with a smile, Lin Mengya was stunned.
Time really passed quickly.
"Aunt, aunt!"
Xiao Xiao's voice whistled in from outside the door and then crashed into her arms, shattering her daze.
She lowered her head and picked up the little red meatball.
Mo Yan pouted his red little mouth and kissed her face generously. Then, he showed her the thing in his hand like presenting a treasure.
"Aunt, Uncle Liang gave it to me. It's for you!"
In the little guy's snow-white palm, there was a small turtle cub.
Although the shell was not very hard, it had begun to take shape.
In particular, the crisscrossed red patterns on it were very rare.
After almost a year of getting along, the children of the An family on the ship all loved Mo Yan very much.
The little guy's appearance was also becoming more and more gorgeous. Lin Mengya often used rouge to put a little red dot between his eyebrows. It made his red lips and white teeth look even more attractive.
Even Baisu often couldn't help but praise Mo Yan after seeing him.
Especially when Lin Mengya held Mo Yan, one big and one small, they were both stunning and beautiful.
Mo Yan was also very attached to Lin Mengya, calling her "aunt" all the time. Even if they were not biological, they were better than biological.
"Since your Uncle Liang is giving it to you, you should accept it. Have you thanked Uncle Liang?"
Lin Mengya touched the little guy's head and said softly.
Mo Yan nodded, turned around, and put the little turtle into the bamboo tube on the table.
He turned around, ran in front of her again, and hugged her calf.
"Aunt, Uncle Zichen said that we're going to Weiguo soon. Are you happy?"
Yes, she didn't expect that so much time had passed.
Lin Mengya picked up Mo Yan and put him on her knees, but she didn't know where her eyes were.
"Probably happy. I look forward to arriving one day earlier every day, but I also hope that I won't arrive every day. Why are you still talking about this? Let's go, Aunt will take you out to have a look. "
There were a lot of people gathered on the deck. When Lin Mengya came with Mo Yan, she saw that their faces were all full of moving smiles.
For them, it was the way home, the home that they loved all their lives.
But for Lin Mengya, it was the root of her resentment.
Perhaps, this was also a reincarnation.
Her grandmother had tried her best to escape from here, but brought the dispute far away.
She, on the other hand, came with these grievances, just to put an end to it.
In the end, she didn't escape.
"We'll be at the port in less than three days. You'd better prepare in advance. The Gong family will definitely send someone to pick you up. Don't be afraid with us here. "
An Zichen had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were tired.
Although they didn't meet any enemies on the sea, they were all enemies of the sea, and it was the most difficult enemy to deal with.
Many times, they were surrounded by danger, and their safety was tied to the fragile hull of the ship in front of nature.
Fortunately, although they had experienced great storms, they still reached the other side.
There was also a little more trust and tacit understanding between her and An Zichen.
After all, they were now friends across the sea.
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Mengya tilted her head and smiled. Her eyes were as firm as An Zichen's.
They had to make this trip.
Their ship quietly docked at the shore five days later.
Although they should have arrived in three days, there were too many ships at the port, and they didn't want to alarm others, so they had to wait outside for two more days.
In the past, from An Zichen, she only had a preliminary understanding of Weiguo.
But after seeing it with her own eyes, she understood why Ah Jin said that they were frogs at the bottom of a well.
In the past, she had also seen the port of the Nation of Lintian.
Not to mention that most of them were fishing boats, she had never seen a big ship like this that could cross the sea.
But here, their boat was the most inconspicuous one among the many.
"These are all ships owned by the famous families. Our ship was hidden by someone when Grandaunt came, so it's a little shabby."
Obviously, An Zichen was used to this kind of scene, so he whispered in her ear.
Lin Mengya held Moyan in her arms and nodded in a daze.
The port in front of them was densely packed with ships, and they couldn't see the end of them at a glance.
There were all kinds of hulls and masts, but each big ship hung a different flag.
Whether it was a mighty jackal, wolf, tiger, or leopard, or exquisite flowers, fish, and insects. In short, they seemed to be shuttling through the world of ships.
They were small and inconspicuous.
With great difficulty, their boat finally reached the shore. After ten months, she once again set foot on land. She only felt that the air was mixed with the smell of the soil, and it was exceptionally refreshing.
Her heart, which was in the air, finally settled down.
