She pulled her master to look at him from head to toe for hundreds of times. Lin Mengya felt goosebumps all over her body as she stared at him until she finally stopped.
"I'm fine. The Gong family is very nice to me. But you and Moyan didn't have any accidents, did you? "
Lin Mengya didn't want to tell Lin Mengya that everyone in the Gong family was a sis-con.
However, Baisu was also a smart person. When she saw how her master got along with the fifth childe of the Gong family, she knew that they treated her well.
The worry in her watery eyes also dissipated a little.
"I'm glad that you're fine. Moyan and I are also fine. Before An Zichen left, he left us some money. We stayed in the inn yesterday and didn't go out. "
"He left? Then how did Fourth Brother find you? "
According to An Zichen's character, she entrusted Baisu and Moyan to him. At least before she sent someone, An Zichen would protect them.
"Childe An didn't say, but I feel that he should have something to deal with. He left in a hurry and only said that he left a message. Only the Gong family could find me. The fourth childe of the Gong family found us with one of your hairpins. Fortunately, you're fine, master. "
To be in such a hurry, could it be that something had happened to the An family?
With Baisu's help, Lin Mengya casually changed her clothes.
The Gong family was in a bad situation before, so the fabric of the clothes was not luxurious.
But it was very exquisite. It could be seen that a lot of thought had been put into it.
As for the treasures of her brothers, Lin Mengya didn't intend to accept them, so she still wore the simple hairpin.
But when she wore more than half of it, it immediately shone brightly.
"Fifth brother, where are eldest brother and second brother?"
In the main hall of the eatery, because there were a lot of things to discuss recently, Lin Mengya decided that everyone would eat in the eatery first.
As soon as she came in, the eyes of the remaining three brothers were glued to her.
"What's wrong with me?"
She looked at herself. Fortunately, the style of clothing in Weiguo was not much different from that in Jin State.
The only difference was that the fabric was lighter, the color was brighter, and the style was more complicated.
However, the one she was wearing today was a pea green plain dress, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.
"Alike, they're really alike!"
Fifth Brother Gong walked in front of his little sister as if he was sleepwalking. He stretched out his hand and carefully touched her arm.
"Like what? Fifth Brother, are you alright? "
She waved her hand in front of Gong Wu. She felt that the atmosphere was a little too strange.
It was Gong San and Gong Si who were more knowledgeable. The two of them stepped forward and pulled Gong Wu, who was in a trance, over.
"Ignore him. Your fifth brother is always like this. Other than fighting, he didn't have any brains. Little sister, what he meant was that you really resemble the previous family head. "
Gong San stroked Lin Mengya's hair and said softly.
"Was the previous clan head my maternal grandmother's sister?"
She remembered that there were still girls in the Gong family at that time.
But Gong San shook his head and explained to her.
"She's your great-grandmother. The rest are just substitute clan heads, not the real clan heads. Just like Great Grandfather, we are all waiting for you to come back and return the position of Patriarch to you. "
Great-grandmother? To be honest, she had completely lost the concept.
"You, have you seen her?"
Gong San shook his head and looked into the distance.
"When we were born, the previous clan head had passed away. However, there is still a painting of hers left in the family. You'll see it when the Gong family in Beiling Province brings it here. "
Beiling Province was the last hope of the Gong family, and the few remaining industries were used to support the remaining members of the Gong family.
Moreover, Gong Si had told her last night that most of the members of the Gong family living in Beiling Province were underage children, like their mothers.
As long as the men of the Gong family had the ability to make a living, they would make a living on their own.
Just as she had said, the twists and turns this time were not entirely a bad thing.
At least, the members of the Gong family were much better than those from aristocratic families who lived like princes.
"By the way, you haven't told me where Eldest Brother and Second Brother are. Why don't I see Great Grandfather?"
Gong San and Gong Si exchanged glances with each other, and the corners of their lips curled into a sneer.
But Gong Wu, who was straightforward, did not hesitate and rushed to answer.
"It's all because of your heroic deeds yesterday. Today, the news has spread throughout the fief of the Gong family. However, those small families think that the Gong family is not doing well. How dare they send an invitation to the new master of the Gong family? However, Great Grandfather said that it's not good to offend them now, so he took Eldest Brother and Second Brother to deal with them. Tell the public that you're tired from the journey and want to rest at home. "
After hearing this, Lin Mengya was not surprised at all.
Those small families who relied on the Gong family to survive in the past had probably turned to another master because of the decline of the Gong family.
She could not blame them. After all, the world had changed, and loyalty also needed capital.
But it was thanks to them that they could send an invitation to her.
As the master of the Gong family, how could he not choose a suitable occasion to amaze the world with a brilliant feat?
"That's good. Tell Great Grandfather not to be too polite. It's not easy to be a fence-sitter. How much benefit they gained from stepping on us that day, they will have to suffer in the future. The Gong family is not so easy to deal with. "
Hearing this, the eyes of the three of them lit up instantly.
This younger sister of hers was truly amazing. Every single word and sentence she said had struck the bottom of their hearts.
"I'll tell Great Grandfather now!"
Gong Wu had now completely adapted to the role of an errand runner, and he was very happy to run.
Watching that guy leave in a hurry, the rest of them could only shake their heads.
However, the family really needed a lively person like him.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, have you heard what happened to the An family?"
Gong San and Gong Si shook their heads together, but Gong Si thought carefully and seemed to remember something.
"I heard that the master of the An family fell ill a few days ago. However, the old master is only in his fifties and has always been healthy. I don't know why he fell ill so suddenly."
Lin Mengya could not help but look at Gong Si again. They were all in decline, but it was obvious that the fourth brother of the Gong family was much more well-informed than the other brothers.
It seemed that she had not misjudged him.
"Sick? What illness? "
Gong Si frowned slightly. Obviously, his ability was also limited.
"Baisu said that An Zichen left in a hurry that day. Could it be that the master of the Gong family …"
Her meaning was obvious, but it was denied by Gong San and Gong Si.
"Impossible. Although the An family is not as powerful as before, they still have some status among the top ten families. If the old master of the An family was really seriously ill, it would have been spread widely. An Zichen does not have a high status in the An family. In my opinion, there must be something else. "
Obviously, the Gong family was familiar with An Zichen.
Moreover, on the dock that day, although Gong Wu looked like he was going to kill him, she deliberately took a look later and found that the one who was being beaten seemed to be acting, and the one who hit him did not really use all his strength.
They might be related by blood, so it was normal for them to know each other.
What could it be? Lin Mengya had always been sensitive to this kind of thing.
Speaking of which, it was the master of the An family who made her come back.
Therefore, after she came back, the An family would definitely want to do something to her.
But now, obviously, the An family was not the same.
She could not help but feel a little uneasy in her heart. Could it be that something bad had happened?
There were indeed many people who invited her, or in other words, wanted to confirm whether the master of the Gong family had returned safely or not.
Lin Mengya did not have the time to go out for a walk with Baisu until the lamp was turned on.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Mengya and Baisu walked to the front yard.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Mengya suddenly pulled Baisu to the side.
"Let's go out to the front gate. Don't alarm anyone."
Baisu nodded. They had a tacit understanding. Obviously, it was good to do this kind of thing many times in the past.
Baisu took Lin Mengya and jumped over the high wall. They sneaked to the front gate. Looking at the dark gate in the night, Baisu took a deep breath and jumped up to the roof with Lin Mengya.
The gate of the Gong family was quite magnificent. At least, they could not see it if they did not look carefully.
"Wait for me here. I'll go down and have a look."
Lin Mengya was very agile. In addition, Baisu was ready to rescue her at any time. She climbed down to the direction of the plaque in the dark.
There were gateposts around, so there was a place for her to stand.
But the light was too dim, so she could not see it very clearly.
She reached out and touched it carefully. Finally, she found that there seemed to be a small groove in the place where the plaque was hung.
Eh? Why did it feel a little familiar?
The more Lin Mengya touched it, the more surprised she became. A trace of joy twined in her heart. But when her heart itched, her feet became unsteady.
"Alas …"
Before she could say anything, she missed her step and fell to the ground.
"Master!"
Baisu shouted and instantly floated down.
But Lin Mengya was already below her, so it was obvious that she could not move fast enough.
In a split second, Lin Mengya closed her eyes and prepared herself for the great pain.
"Oh, my God!"
Uh … it did not seem to hurt as much as she had imagined.
What was that sound just now?
Lin Mengya opened her eyes and found that one of her feet was caught by Baisu.
It was at most half a meter away from the ground.
But why did she feel paralyzed under her body …
"Miss, what are you doing? What if you scare people to death in the middle of the night? "
The voice was very strange. Lin Mengya, who was still in shock, looked at the person in front of her in a daze.
It seemed to be a man. She seemed to have seen him somewhere.
"You are …"
