"However, no matter how weak the Crown Prince is, he doesn't need the support of the Yu Family, right? Or does the Yu Family have some special ability? "
It was not that Lin Mengya looked down on the Yu Family. In fact, when she came to ask for the house, she had a backup plan.
If the Yu Family was weak, she would take the opportunity to get the house back.
However, if the Yu Family was a very powerful family, then she would definitely quit while she was ahead.
Reality proved that the Yu Family was nothing more than a paper tiger.
"It's true that they don't need the support of the Yu Family, but Yu Mingzhu is very powerful. She has a close relationship with the most favored daughter of Prince Xiao. For the past three years, she even lived in Prince Xiao's mansion. But recently, Prince Xiao's legitimate daughter came back from the experience, and the daughter of the concubine was also suppressed, so she returned to the main family. "
There was such a relationship.
Lin Mengya understood that with such a background, Yu Mingzhu could be considered a powerful opponent to be able to survive until now.
It seemed that there were some things that she had to consider at length.
"Where is that brother now?"
Hearing her words, Fourth Prince Gong's face was a little gloomy.
There was some hesitation in his eyes. Lin Mengya understood that she had touched on his wound.
"Sorry, forget it. Why should I mention him —"
"He, he's missing."
Lin Mengya replied with an "oh" and did not dare to ask further.
According to the ranking, that person was the real Fourth Prince Gong. But she could not even mention him now. She was afraid that he had done a lot of evil in the past.
"Speaking of which, I've met a few uncles."
Although she had taken the surname of the Gong Family, she did not forget the etiquette.
The worry on Fourth Prince Gong's face did not diminish. Lin Mengya realized that she seemed to have asked something that she should not have.
"I … well … Anyway, I'm sorry."
Was it because he had eaten too much tonight that his brain started to stop working?
Why didn't she think of such an obvious problem?
If the elders of the Gong Family were still around, great-grandfather would not have to force himself, and the five sons of the Gong Family would not have to suffer such grievances.
"15 years ago, my father and uncles died on the battlefield."
His tone was soft and gentle. Even though fifteen years had passed, the sadness in his heart did not weaken in the slightest with the passage of time.
When her father and brother were stationed at the border, she should have felt the same way.
"At that time, the Gong family's situation wasn't good. Other than the An family, all the other families wanted a share of the pie. At this time, the vassal states that had always been under his control began to rebel. The Emperor wanted to dispatch elite troops to suppress them. My father and the others, in order to give the Gong family a chance to breathe, volunteered themselves. I think they also felt that they had died a worthy death. "
Lin Mengya blinked her eyes. To be honest, she still couldn't understand why they could sacrifice so much for their own families.
But if it was for her family, perhaps she would have made the same choice.
To them, the Gong family was everything.
Although she didn't agree, she couldn't say that they were wrong.
"The Gong family won't forget what they've done for us. Actually, I didn't want this position in the first place."
"Little sister, you can't leave us behind!"
"Let me finish."
Seeing that her fourth brother was about to get agitated, Lin Mengya immediately comforted him.
"Back then, my grandmother left. There must be a reason behind it. But fourth brother, why can the position of the Gong family only be passed down to females and not males? Don't be in a hurry to talk about the old rules. Rules are set by people and can be changed by people. Why didn't you think about it in the past fifty years? "
Others thought that the Gong family couldn't give birth to a daughter was a warning, but Lin Mengya felt that it was more like a hint from God.
Since a woman could be the head of the family, why couldn't a man?
Men and women should be equal. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Gong family would suffer a fatal blow because of the incompetence of the head of the family.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, the capable one should be the head of the family. This was the secret of a family's prosperity.
But all good things must come to an end. Sooner or later, the Gong family would disappear in the long river of history, but not now.
"This was set by the first head of the family. Little sister, you'd better not worry about this. Anyway, we're all happy that you're the head of the family. "
Looking at the silly smile on her fourth brother's face, Lin Mengya felt a little headache.
Well, to them, this idea of equality between men and women was probably a little ahead of their time.
Since this was the case, it was better for her to influence them subtly.
"They won't give up on the Yu family so easily. But I think the Baili family won't stand up for them so easily. The most important thing now is to seize the time and subdue all the forces that we can control. Fourth brother, what's the current situation of the Gong family? "
In fact, it was best to ask the eldest brother, Gong Bin, about these things.
But Gong Bin still had many things to do. It seemed that her fourth brother was the most suitable.
Fourth Brother Gong had nothing to hide. After thinking for a while, he answered her.
"Originally, there were twelve prefectures in our fief. But the surrounding families forcibly took over four of them. As for the remaining eight, except for the North Mountain State, which is still under our control, the rest have their own camps. Only a small part of our shops and land are still in the hands of our own people. As for the rest, they are either obeying in public but opposing in private. It's really hateful. "
Lin Mengya had long expected this situation. In the past, the Gong family was very prosperous, so those people were not so thoroughly exposed.
Now that the Gong family had become a sick tiger, those people who had disloyalty would definitely jump out to be a clown.
Fourth Brother Gong reported the rest of the matters to Lin Mengya in detail.
On the first night in the Gong family, Lin Mengya almost did not sleep.
She discussed with Fourth Brother Gong about some countermeasures overnight. Only when the sky was bright did she remember to stretch her sore limbs.
"It's all my fault. How could I forget that you just came back? It's still early. Go to sleep first. "
Fourth Brother Gong saw that his sister's face was a little haggard and he blamed himself.
"I'm fine. In the past … Forget it, I'll go to sleep for a while. If there's anything important, call me."
Rubbing her swollen eyes, Lin Mengya entered the master's inner room.
All the bedding here was new. The things brought from the small courtyard were also properly arranged.
The bedroom was very spacious, and every item used here had been carefully selected.
The chair was made of yellow rosewood, the table was made of red sandalwood, the incense burner was gilded, and even the teacups on it were crystal clear green jade.
Unfortunately, she did not have the time and mood to appreciate and play.
After taking off her coat, she threw herself into the soft quilt and fell asleep.
Lin Mengya woke up with a wet little mouth. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Moyan's delicate and lovely little face magnified in her sight.
"Haha, boy, how dare you sneak up on me!"
She hugged that little brat in her arms and pinched his cheeks that felt so good to the touch.
Moyan had never been angry with Lin Mengya. He was not angry when she pinched him. He just giggled, but his little body arched into her arms.
Perhaps it was because he had been abducted before, although this child did not know anything, he knew who was closest to him.
He hadn't seen his aunt for only a day and a night, but he already missed her so much that he couldn't eat or sleep.
After a while, before Lin Mengya could coax him, the little boy leaned on her arms and fell asleep soundly.
Lin Mengya carefully withdrew her hand, stuffed Moyan into the quilt, and continued to sleep comfortably.
After getting up and tidying up her clothes, Lin Mengya walked out of the door of her room.
"Master."
She was startled by the familiar voice of Baisu. When she came to her senses, she saw that her loyal little Baisu was guarding her door like a pine tree.
"Baisu, you're finally here. Did An Zichen make things difficult for you? Have you eaten yet? "
Lin Mengya, who had just woken up, was relatively slow to react.
Apart from other things, Baisu, who was like an ice beauty, looked murderous, which was not the standard state after a reunion.
"Little sister, your maid is too arrogant!"
A few steps away, Gong Yu, the fifth young master of the Gong Family, looked angry.
He had just wanted to wake his little sister up for breakfast, but he was blocked by this guy.
What was worse was that this little maid dared to draw a sword against him.
He could defeat her, but his fourth brother had told him that this maid was brought back from the other side and they were very close.
If it weren't for the fear that his sister would be sad, he would have taught her a lesson.
Seeing Gong Yu's aggrieved face, Lin Mengya guessed what had happened.
However, Baisu was her good sister, so she naturally had to side with Baisu.
She looked at her fifth brother with a smile. Baisu was new here, so she didn't want to make enemies.
"Fifth brother, you wronged my Miss Baisu. I used to be in poor health and weak. If I didn't sleep well, I would get dizzy easily when I got up. Baisu didn't let you in because she was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable. It's all my fault that I didn't make things clear. "
These reasons were not important. As soon as Lin Mengya called him Fifth Brother in a sweet voice, Gong Wu had no more complaints in his heart.
"I see. I remember. Miss, I'm sorry, I was reckless. "
Baisu was stunned. She didn't expect that the young master of the Gong Family, who was also an aristocratic family, would be so polite.
"It's okay."
However, Baisu was used to being cold, especially in an unfamiliar environment.
Lin Mengya knew this girl's character. After asking Gong Yu if there was anything important, she brought Baisu to the bedroom.
"Master, did they do anything to you?"
