"Sister, do you know that person?"
In front of outsiders, Xiahou Mo would respectfully address Lin Mengya as First Mistress.
But in this kind of situation where only the two of them were together, the little girl would call her sister.
Lin Mengya was called back by Shang 'er. She lowered her head to look at the cute Shang' er and smiled gently.
"Of course, she used to call me that too."
"Isn't that your sister? If so, why would she want to harm you? "
Shang 'er was smart and guessed correctly.
Lin Mengya shook her head. She didn't expect that the person who 'exposed' her with the Phoenix Hairpin was Lin Mengwu!
How long had it been since they last met? She didn't expect it to be like this when they met. It was very ironic.
"What happened between us can't be explained in one or two sentences. I'll tell you when I have the chance. Shang 'er, you have to be careful of this person. She's scheming and vicious. Back then, I almost died in her hands. No matter what happens in the future, you have to be careful, understand? "
Shang 'er nodded immediately, her big eyes full of caution.
But Lin Mengya was more worried about why they would meet Lin Mengwu here.
Moreover, Lin Mengwu seemed to know everything about her.
This was definitely not a coincidence. It seemed that she had come with ill intentions.
When she came back from outside, she took a look. Gong Lu wasn't there.
The few people from the Gong family did not ask about her whereabouts. Presumably, Gong Si had already made arrangements.
Lin Mengya was still leaning on the bed, but she wasn't as calm as before.
Lin Mengwu's arrival meant too many things that were beyond her expectations.
This wasn't good news for her.
"Since you're not feeling well, why didn't you tell Third Brother?"
She looked up and saw her third brother's concerned face.
Lin Mengya was stunned. Then she remembered that this was probably an excuse Fourth Brother gave her.
She smiled apologetically. She knew that Third Brother and Fourth Brother both trusted and protected her. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
"It's nothing. I'm just not acclimatized. It's probably because there are too many people here. My chest feels a little stuffy, but it's okay. "
Gong San grabbed her arm without any explanation and placed it on her slender wrist. After carefully feeling her pulse, he was slightly relieved.
"It seems like there really isn't a problem. It's my negligence. It's your first time here, so you must not be used to it. Why don't you return to the inn first? There's nothing to see here anyway. You can come back on the last day. "
She wanted to refuse, but she saw Gong San's insistence.
Helpless, Jiao Hao nodded in agreement.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother and I will take Little Sister back first. She's not feeling well and needs to rest. "
Standing up, Gong San greeted the others.
They didn't say anything. They just came over one by one and told her not to force herself and to have a good rest when she got back.
Lin Mengya had no choice but to agree. However, she declined Gong San and Gong Wu's good intentions. Looking at their disappointed faces, she lowered her eyes and explained.
"Big Brother and Fourth Brother have been running around outside for the past few days, so they really do need a good rest. Moreover, it's okay for the auction these few days. Everyone just needs to take turns to keep an eye on it. If there's anything urgent, you can send someone to call us. "
What she said made sense. Indeed, although the things she proposed to put on a show were not rare, they were pressed for time, so Gong Bin and Gong Si had to arrange them personally.
Now, it was time for them to have a good rest.
"You must protect Little Sister, do you understand? Little Sister, if anyone dares to bully you, you can call someone to look for me. I'll definitely beat them up! "
Gong Wu actually wanted to be by her side, but he wanted to stay here more, so he could only warn her worriedly.
"Okay, I know. If there's a fight, I'll look for my Fifth Brother, right?"
Lin Mengya blinked and said playfully.
The others laughed, but Gong Wu nodded seriously.
"That's right! Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let my little sister suffer any grievances. "
The others laughed, but Gong Bin seemed to be thinking about something.
Lin Mengya tiptoed and touched the cute little brother's head.
Her Fifth Elder Brother was a genuine little wolf dog. She nodded with a smile, then left with Gong Bin and Gong Si under Gong Wu's reluctance to part.
Fortunately, everyone's eyes were focused on the auction house now.
Their departure did not attract much attention. From the unsurprised look of the steward at the door, she could roughly guess some of it.
Perhaps the heads of those aristocratic families had already left.
That's true. Big clans need to have this kind of style.
The eye-catching sedan chair could not be used, and Lin Mengya's red dress was quite eye-catching.
Fortunately, the auction house had prepared a sedan chair for them.
Soon, the group returned to Tai Ning Inn.
As soon as they entered the door, Gong Si pulled Gong Bin. He knew that Gong Ya must have something to say to them when she called them back.
"Little Sister, I'm still worried about your health. Why don't I take you to the city to see a doctor?"
Gong Si's words were for everyone to hear.
Lin Mengya nodded gently and said that she would go to change her clothes. Then, she returned to her room with Shang'er.
"Eldest Miss, you're back!"
At the door, Gong Ping was standing there seriously, guarding the door for her.
"You've worked hard. Come in with me, both of you."
As soon as she entered the door, Lin Mengya immediately looked around to see if there was anything suspicious.
Gong Ping also closed the door. Although he didn't know what had happened, the Big Missy had instructed him not to let anyone step into her room before she left.
Before coming out, the Old Ancestor had told him that Eldest Miss's orders must not be careless.
Therefore, he did not dare to leave her room.
"Did anyone come to the house after I left?"
After making sure that there was nothing unusual in the room, Lin Mengya sat on the chair and asked Gong Ping.
"There were no strangers, but a few rough women came to the backyard. Eldest Master arranged it. Don't we have a lot of women? Eldest Master thought that it was okay for them to stay in the backyard, but it was really inconvenient for some things. So, he called some people over. But don't worry, Eldest Miss, they are helping in the backyard. They would never dare to come here! "
The people recruited by Gong Bin were temporarily reliable, but she knew Lin Mengwu's character too well.
Since Lin Mengwu wanted to deal with her, she would definitely use all kinds of despicable means.
She had to prevent some things in advance.
"From today on, whenever I go out of this room, one of you must stay in the room. The door and window must be bolted, and no one is allowed to open it unless I come back with Sister Baisu. If you're hungry or out of the house, make sure to lock the door as well. Remember to sprinkle a thin layer of jasmine powder on the doorsill before you go out. I will also try my best not to go out these days. "
Gong Lu must have hidden Lin Mengwu. As for whether Gong Bin knew about it, Lin Mengya was not sure.
She was not afraid of poison, but she was afraid that Lin Mengwu would use more insidious means.
She must get rid of Lin Mengwu before she went back. Otherwise, the old house of the Gong Family would be in danger again after a few days of peace.
"Yes."
Shang 'er and Gong Ping responded in unison. Seeing that she was so nervous, the two children also became nervous.
But they were not afraid. Lin Mengya could even see the eagerness in their eyes.
It seemed that she was really old. However, to them, this was indeed a good experience.
She had changed into a set of light clothes and no longer wore those heavy fake bun and hair accessories on her head. The enchanting young lady in the morning had instantly turned into an elegant and beautiful woman.
Gong Bin and Gong Si also changed their clothes. After the three of them went out of the door of the inn, they turned into ordinary young masters of rich families who were strolling around.
Jincang City was indeed prosperous, and because of the development of the maritime industry, it was more warm and open than any other city that Lin Mengya had been to.
But at the same time, it also meant that the security here was not very good.
In less than an hour, Fourth Elder Brother had already caught several hands that were reaching for his pouch.
Those who were caught just giggled, bowed, and ran away like mudfish.
No one around looked at them, as if they were already used to such a situation.
"I think we should stay here. We've been busy so early in the morning, and we don't even have time to eat. Is there anything special here?"
The atmosphere between the three of them was a little awkward.
Lin Mengya had never been a stingy person, so she took the initiative to suggest.
"That's a good idea. Jincang City is near the sea, and there are many marine treasures. Why don't we go and have a try? "
Gong Si immediately suggested, and the other two also agreed with his arrangement.
The three of them walked to the most popular restaurant in Jincang City with their attendants.
"Yunhai Canglan, the name of this restaurant is not bad."
After a while, they arrived at the famous restaurant in Jincang City.
"This is the property of the Xu Family. Let's go in."
Gong Si knew this place like the back of his hand, and Lin Mengya was immediately interested when she heard that it was the property of the Xu Family.
She had met Rong Luyi, and knew that he was a tough guy.
But because the Rong Family and the Xu Family changed the auctioneer once a year, this time the Xu Family was not here to take charge of the auction.
If she wanted to meet the Xu Family, she might have to start from this restaurant.
"Distinguished guests, please come in!"
Yunhai Canglan was not a small restaurant, and the people who came and saw them off were all rich people.
The waiters were all shrewd people, and they had long been trained to be eloquent, so they used different ways to make people happy.
Since they came in, the waiter had not stopped talking.
