After all the arrangements were made, Gong Yu looked at his little sister with a sad face.
"Fifth Brother, let's go to pick up great-grandfather!"
Lin Mengya didn't want to assign any task to Gong Yu. She had to find a bodyguard when Baisu was not around.
Gong Yu immediately became excited when he heard that they were going to pick up great-grandfather.
Although he couldn't share the burden of the family like his brothers, he could spend time with his little sister alone!
All of a sudden, he grinned and followed Lin Mengya to the house where they were temporarily staying.
The news spread faster than Lin Mengya had expected.
When she appeared on the street again, everyone looked at the two of them with a different gaze.
Especially Lin Mengya, the young master of the Gong Family, who came out of nowhere.
Gong Yu stood in front of his little sister and glared at anyone who looked at them. He even showed his sharp teeth at them.
She was his little sister. What were they looking at?
At the door of the outer house, Gong Yu's great-grandfather leaned against the door worriedly with the help of several juniors of the Gong Family, looking in their direction.
Lin Mengya immediately ran a few steps, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of great-grandfather.
"Great-grandfather, we're here to pick you up!"
Gong Qianfeng opened his turbid eyes and looked at the two children in front of him in disbelief.
"You, are you really …"
Gong Yu nodded heavily and smiled like a child.
"Yes, Great-grandfather. Little Sister has already led us to take back the house! You didn't see it just now. My little sister is very powerful. She made them give up the house obediently with just a few words. And, great-grandfather, you didn't see it. Today, our Gong Family finally vented our anger. Those who used to bully our Gong Family were all beaten down by us … "
Hearing Gong Yu's noisy words, Gong Qianfeng looked comforted.
At first, Lin Mengya was a little worried that great-grandfather would not agree with what she did. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, she was indeed a little rash.
But now it seemed that great-grandfather's reaction was good!
"You guys, you really have to thank Ya 'er properly. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid we could only live in vain for the rest of our lives. Ya 'er, you did well. "
Lin Mengya lowered her head in embarrassment. She felt much more relaxed.
In fact, she was still afraid that she couldn't completely control the Gong family. Although her great-grandfather was a man, he had great influence in the Gong family.
Although the Gong Family was in a state of disunity, if she really wanted to subdue them, her great-grandfather was the key.
Great-grandfather probably knew this as well. That was why he didn't express his opinion in front of others.
"Thank you for your praise, great-grandfather. This is all the work of our Gong family. By the way, Great-grandfather, do you know the whereabouts of our Gong family's plaque? "
The plaque of the Yu Family was thrown into the woodshed by Lin Mengya.
To the family, the plaque was their face.
Back then, the Yu Family had humiliated the Gong Family. Today, she had completely humiliated the Yu Family.
Gong Qianfeng was somewhat excited. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and waved his hand, gesturing for the youngsters to follow him to the rear courtyard.
The courtyard was already very dilapidated, and the small house in front of him was also trembling, as if it would be blown over by a gust of wind.
"Open it. The most important thing of our Gong family is inside."
Gong Yu took a key from Gong Qianfeng's hand.
When he opened the door, there was a shabby table inside.
The top of the table was covered with a piece of red cloth.
"Our plaque is here. When we were driven out of the old house, we only took this plaque with us. Now, it's finally time to go home. "
Lin Mengya carefully lifted the red cloth off.
The two big words "Gong Family" vaguely showed the glory of the past.
The simple and unadorned plaque had long since lost its former brilliance. However, it still represented the countless years that the Gong family's ancestors had lived through.
Unconsciously, she touched the two words.
The cold but warm touch made Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"You go out first. I have something to tell Ya 'er."
Unexpectedly, Gong Qianfeng drove the youngsters away.
Looking at the young master in front of him, who was sighing with emotion, Gong Qianfeng felt very gratified.
"Ya 'er, in fact, this plaque has other uses. You've heard that the reason why Yu Mingzhu forced us into this situation was to get the most important thing of our Gong family. "
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at her great-grandfather in confusion.
"Our Gong family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the wealth we have accumulated is endless. In addition, the previous heads of the family were good at business, so this huge amount of wealth has attracted the covetous eyes of some people. I'm afraid that even the emperor wants this wealth of the Gong family. "
This was true. She didn't know much about the emperor and the other families.
If the Gong family was so rich, it was no wonder that the others were like hungry wolves, eyeing the Gong family.
But the Yu family had been in the old house for so long, why hadn't they found any clues?
Gong Qianfeng seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and a gloating expression appeared on his face.
"Why do you think the other families let the clown of the Yu family get away with it? They just want him to be the first bird to find the thing of our family, and then fight for it. Unfortunately, they don't know that the wealth of the Gong family is actually buried under our ancestral house. And the key was on this plaque. Hmph, apart from me, no one else knows this secret. "
Blinking her eyes, Lin Mengya could not help but give her little old man a thumbs up in her heart.
It had to be said that old people were cunning. With his great-grandfather's age, if it wasn't for the absence of the family head, how could he have been bullied by a small Yu family?
"I guess great-grandfather doesn't know how to open this key either, right?"
Gong Qianfeng sighed and nodded.
"The Gong family hired countless skilled craftsmen to design that underground secret chamber. If he wanted to send something inside, he only needed to use a small mechanism in the Patriarch's house. With your mechanism, no living creature will be able to enter. Before the previous Patriarch passed away, she only told me that only the Patriarch would know the location of the key. In order to prevent others from being unable to live, the Patriarch asked me to keep a portion of it and continue to store the rest in the warehouse. Now, it has been returned to its rightful owner. "
Lin Mengya was full of admiration. If it were not for her great-grandfather, no one would be able to accept the wealth of the Gong Family.
Moreover, the wealth that such a large clan had accumulated over the past few decades was probably not a small number.
But in order to raise funds, her five brothers were asked to sell their private property, which meant that her great-grandfather did not abuse his power for personal gain.
If she could find this wealth, the Gong Family would once again become one of the top ten families.
She turned around and looked at the plaque carefully.
She did not know when her great-grandfather had disappeared from the door of the cottage, leaving Lin Mengya alone to study the mystery of the plaque.
But she did not know how many times she had looked at it and touched it, but she did not find anything special.
She could not help muttering in her heart.
There was no reason for her great-grandfather to lie to her. Even if they had evil intentions and deliberately wanted her to find the key, they should have told her the real news.
But she did not find anything, and even there was no mechanism on the plaque.
She really did not know what her great-grandmother was thinking.
It was getting dark outside, but Lin Mengya still found nothing.
Helplessly, Lin Mengya went out to ask someone to carry the plaque back to the old house.
"Be careful, this is the treasure of the Gong Family!"
Gong Yu instructed people to carry the plaque outside, and his eldest brother, Gong Bin, also sent a lot of people to clean up the things in the small courtyard and move in.
Along the way, Lin Mengya lowered her head and silently thought about the problem.
"Child, don't think about it if you really can't think of it. Don't make things difficult for yourself. The Gong Family will be the same without those things. "
Gong Qianfeng comforted this junior in a soft voice when no one was paying attention.
Lin Mengya exhaled, but found that they had arrived at the old house of the Gong Family.
She raised her head and looked at the empty door. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.
"Little sister, shall we hang it up now?"
Gong Yu personally pulled the cart and carried the plaque back, and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Mengya shook her head first.
"Put it in the courtyard first. The plaque of the Gong Family is as precious as the people of the Gong Family. Let's let great-grandfather choose a good time, and we will beat gongs and drums, set off firecrackers, and then hang the plaque up! "
Now, Lin Mengya's words were like an imperial edict, and no one dared to disobey.
Moreover, what she said made sense, and everyone also felt that they should not hang it up so easily.
Gong Qianfeng and Gong Yu carefully carried the plaque to the ancestral hall in the backyard.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, stood alone at the gate and looked up at it.
If it was what she thought, it should be right.
Feeling happy all of a sudden, Lin Mengya stepped through the gate of the Gong Family.
"First Miss!"
The young men in charge of guarding the gate were the main force in taking back the old house this time. Lin Mengya smiled at them and nodded.
"You must guard the gate of our house, and don't let any Tom, Dick or Harry break in, understand?"
Glancing in a certain direction outside the door, she purposely raised her voice so that the fellows hidden in the crowd could hear her clearly.
"Yes, First Miss, don't worry."
"Okay."
Walking into the courtyard, the five brothers of the Gong Family had been waiting for her in the main hall for a long time.
Speaking of which, it was also her first time coming here.
Candles illuminated the main hall, and it could be seen that many things had been rearranged, and should have been restored to their original state.
At least here, there was no ostentation or extravagance.
Everyone stood there, including Great Grandfather, looking up at her with his chest puffed out.
"Master, please take a seat!"
