"Phew …"
Gong Si let out a breath and shook his head. His face revealed a look of relief.
"So, you've already seen through it."
His smile was still elegant and gentle, but there was an emotion in it that Lin Mengya couldn't understand.
In short, her previous intuition was correct.
Among the five sons of the Gong family, Fourth Brother was the most scheming one.
But that didn't mean that the others were stupid. It was just that each of the five sons of the Gong family had their own strengths.
"If he was really in a hurry to find An Zichen and the An family's current situation, he wouldn't have given us this letter. But when he was talking to Great Grandfather, he covered his chest with his hand and glanced at it three times, as if he was not paying attention. He did all of this very cleverly. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it, but it might not be the case for our Fourth Brother. "
Gong Si nodded his head and agreed to her words.
They thought that they knew An Ruchu very well, but how could An Ruchu not know about their situation? Therefore, if An Ruchu wanted to scheme against them, it would be as easy as flipping her hand.
"Then why did he do such a thing? Could it be that he forgot about his parents' tragic death and went to seek connections with the rich and powerful? "
With a thud, Gong Wu's hand smashed heavily on the table.
They were pure and kind, and they had their own understanding and persistence for their families, relatives, and friends.
Therefore, they looked down on those who sold their everything just to climb up the social ladder.
But sometimes, principles were not the most important thing.
Although she didn't like it, she had no right to judge whether it was right or wrong.
Everyone who lived in this world had their own difficulties, and they also had their own choices.
The only thing they could do was to stick to their hearts.
"I think he didn't want the Gong family to get involved."
Gong Bin, the eldest son of the Gong family, who had been silent all this while, got to the point.
"Did he really betray the head of the An family and Uncle An Jiu?"
Gong Er furrowed his brows tightly. Apart from their personal relationship, the Gong Family and An Family were also allies that were interdependent.
Once Fourth Uncle of the An family became the head of the family, it would only bring harm to the Gong family.
The current Gong Family could not afford to be tormented by enemies from all sides.
"I don't think so. An Ruchu isn't even in the hands of the Gong Family's Old Master. Moreover, she's in the hands of the cunning and treacherous Fourth Uncle An. I think he probably has other plans. "
Gong Si looked at Lin Mengya and voiced out his doubts.
Lin Mengya agreed with Gong Si. Betrayal was the stupidest choice for An Ruchu.
The fourth son of the An family may not be able to accept him sincerely, and the old man of the An family will definitely not let him go.
As long as he still had a brain, he would be able to understand the situation.
"Then, what does he mean?"
Gong Wu scratched his head and said in confusion.
Lin Mengya and Gong Si looked at each other and then said slowly.
"When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. An Ruchu just wants to obtain a higher position in the forces of the old master of the An family. This time, if he could turn the tide or make a great contribution, he would be able to make a great contribution. Maybe he will have a chance to compete for the position of the head of the family. "
An Ruchu was tightly bound by his family background. There were many things he could do in this life, but there was one thing that he could never do no matter what.
That was to become the head of the An family.
But sometimes, human desires were just that strange.
He knew that he could not do it, but he still tried his best to get the moon in the mirror.
Usually, people like this were the so-called smart people.
An Ruchu was such a smart person.
"Wishful thinking. He didn't think about the current situation of the An family. If he becomes the head of the family, the An family will become the next Gong family! "
Gong Er spoke bluntly, but he was telling the truth.
Gong San was more pragmatic than them. He did not interrupt for a long time. But after seeing the reaction of his brothers, he had to ask Lin Mengya.
"Little sister, what should we do now?"
Yes, no matter what happened to the An family, the most important thing now was how the Gong family would deal with it.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya said tentatively.
"What will you do if I'm not here?"
The five sons of the Gong family looked at each other. Finally, the eldest understood what she meant.
"You mean, no matter what purpose An Ruchu has, he is plotting against the Gong family. Moreover, there are only five of us in the Gong family. "
Lin Mengya nodded with a smile. She felt that it was not a bad thing to have five brothers around.
"That's right. Just do what you need to do and pretend that I'm not here. However, there was one thing he needed to do, which was to pay close attention to the movements of others. Apart from the An family, we need to see what the other families are doing. "
Her eyes flickered. She was like the little demon girl who had plotted against the monarchs of several countries.
However, after the five sons of the Gong family heard her words, a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
"Well … little sister."
"Hmm? What's wrong? "
The eldest of the Gong family rubbed his hands, and the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.
"It's not that we don't want to do it, but … even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. What we eat and use now is still left behind by the Yu Family. When the people from the Northern Mountain State come, we have to find a way to provide for them. So, we are really short of money now. "
Lin Mengya suddenly understood. She thought it was something serious.
"Don't worry about money. In less than half a day, the Gong family will become the Gong family of the past. Oh yes, tomorrow morning, all five of you will go out to order some things. Whether it was food or necessities, they had to buy the best in Weiguo. If there's anything in the city, choose the best. If there's nothing in the city, get a caravan to order it for us. "
This … The five young men's hearts tightened at the same time. How much money would it cost!
Lin Mengya understood at a glance. These guys didn't know that they were guarding a mountain of gold and silver.
It was no wonder that the situation of the Gong family had been deteriorating for the past 50 years. They were used to living a hard life, and suddenly became rich. The psychological gap was too big.
"Money, no matter how much it is, is just a number. We have to learn to control it and not let it control us. "
The five of them lowered their heads at the same time, regretting that their thinking was not as good as his little sister's.
"We understand, little sister. We won't let you down!"
Gong Bin took the lead to promise, which made Lin Mengya happy again.
However, Lin Mengya, who had just educated her five brothers, soon realized that it was too early to say anything.
Otherwise, her face would hurt.
"Baisu, pinch me."
Lin Mengya, who would not change her expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
Baisu, who had the same expression as her, did not bear to pinch her. Instead, she pinched her own leg.
"It hurts, Master, it's real!"
Lin Mengya did not know whether she heard it or not. Anyway, she felt like she was in a dream and took three steps forward.
"Clang!" The crisp sound of metal colliding came from her feet.
Lin Mengya finally regained her consciousness after letting out a cry of pain. She hesitated for a while and felt a sharp pain in her toes.
She covered her feet and sat on the ground. Lin Mengya rubbed them and grinned.
"Now we're rich!"
Even Baisu was overwhelmed. There was so much gold and silver!
In front of them, there were two real mountains of gold and silver.
It was not an exaggeration, it was indeed a mountain.
Although it was messy, the scale was very impressive.
At the very least, the height of the two of them added together could barely reach the top of the tree.
And the things that hurt her toes just now were a few heavy gold nuggets!
Pure gold, not adulterated!
"Master, I think we can buy the whole Lieyun with this money!"
"Not only that, I think even Dajin could not withstand such a fierce attack!"
Lin Mengya had seen a lot of things in her life, but this was the first time she had experienced such a strong visual impact.
In front of her, there were many mountains of gold and silver like the one in front of her in the endless secret underground room.
They walked inside and found a sandalwood box on the shelf against the stone wall at the door.
They took one out and opened it. It turned out to be real estate and land deeds!
It was really an eye-opening day for them today.
In fact, it was a coincidence that they found this secret room. After sending off the five sons of the Gong Family, they secretly climbed over the wall to the front door after a discussion.
But this time, Lin Mengya was very cautious. Not only did she ask Baisu to tie her waist with a rope, but they didn't use any lanterns during the whole process. They even put out the lights on the gate in advance.
This time, Lin Mengya, who was firmly fixed on the door, stretched out her hand and carefully traced the position of the groove.
The more she touched it, the more familiar it felt.
She seemed to have seen this length and width somewhere.
Yes, the things left by her mother!
Her grandmother knew that the Gong Family valued her daughter. So if she took those things away, they would definitely be passed on to her daughter.
Fortunately, when she traveled all over the country, she was used to keeping the things left by her mother close to her body.
Now that she got it from Baisu, Lin Mengya clenched the small seal hard.
That thing had opened the box on the back of the Dragon Turtle in the small pond of the Lin Family.
If she could open this thing again, then she would never doubt her identity as a descendant of the Gong Family.
She carefully placed the seal into the seal. With a crisp sound, Lin Mengya felt that her heart trembled.
Then she felt that the wooden board under her hand seemed to be a little loose.
