From the direction of the second floor, a woman slowly walked down.
She was not wearing any expensive silk or satin, but only a pea green gauze dress.
Like a fairy from a painting, Qingyan Mandala arrived gracefully.
Her long black hair was draped behind her, and she only wore the simplest jade hairpin on her head.
But her eyes were a little fierce, and her face was a little pale and sickly.
Seeing her coming down, the people of the Gong family were a little shocked, but they hid it very well in a moment.
Gong Bin immediately pretended to be angry and concerned. He walked forward and scolded the woman in a low voice.
"Why did you come out? Didn't you say you were not feeling well?"
It seemed that he did not want the woman to come out.
The woman glanced at him indifferently, walked around him, and sat on the master's seat.
She glanced at the faces of those people, and finally fixed her eyes on Xu Yanqing.
Her face was slightly cold, and the words that came out of her cherry lips were not polite.
"I've always respected the elders, but if they don't respect themselves, I won't back down. Uncle Xu, I will inform the head of the Xu family of what you said today, word for word. If the Xu family doesn't care, I'll report it to the Holy Temple. If the Holy Temple doesn't care, I'll report it to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't care, I'll put up a notice and let everyone in the world hear it, so that they can have a taste of the Xu family's good upbringing! "
Her sharp words made Xu Yanqing's old face turn pale and then red.
However, he couldn't bring himself to scold a junior, especially a woman.
Fortunately, he did not dare to do so. Otherwise, with Lin Mengya's strength, he would be so angry that his eyes and mouth would become crooked.
Lin Mengya's appearance instantly changed the situation that was about to collapse.
"Uncle Xu, you must not mean it. Miss Gong, why don't you let it go?"
Seeing that someone came out to smooth things over, Lin Mengya should have let it go.
But that person shouldn't have said everything he said to that old donkey of the Xu family.
Who was Lin Mengya? She was a person who refused to be at a disadvantage in terms of words or anything else. How could she be so easily fooled?
After a cold snort, she said without batting an eyelid.
"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes the king. Now, anyone dared to jump out and smooth things over. It seemed like Uncle Xu was really getting old. Our Gong Family knows the rules. We clearly remember what we should say and what we shouldn't say. "
Although the men in this room were all well-known figures in Wei Country, they were all very powerful people.
However, they had all grown up under the education of aristocratic families, so they had never seen such a vulgar and sharp-tongued woman.
The sisters in their family were either gentle and introverted, or generous and dignified.
The only exception was the one in front of him. You could say that she was rude, but she spoke softly and her actions revealed a very good upbringing.
But if you say she's a lady from a respectable family … that's an insult to all the ladies in the world.
In short, she was like a piece of hot meat.
Everyone wanted to step on her, but if anyone dared to stretch out a foot, she would definitely bite them.
This fellow was not to be trifled with.
"Sister Gong is indeed powerful. However, for the sake of Uncle Xu's seniority, don't make him angry."
Lin Mengya knew who the person was when she heard the forthright voice.
Naturally, that person was the rumored "lecher", Ma Beichen.
As expected, that person sat on the chair carelessly and opened his mouth, laughing without any care for his image.
Lin Mengya couldn't refuse that person's ardent gaze, so she just ignored him.
"Miss Gong, we're not here to see your eloquence today. I believe you've heard about what happened yesterday, right? I hope you can give us an explanation for this matter. "
Rong Luyi didn't look too good. She also had a rough idea of the reason why Xu Yanqing spoke rudely.
The Jincang Port had always been jointly managed by the Rong Family and the Xu Family. After this incident, the two families would definitely suffer a heavy loss.
Moreover, this matter had seriously affected their reputation and would bring them a lot of trouble.
Therefore, they were naturally anxious. It was not easy to get some useful information, so how could they not hold on to it like a life-saving straw?
Right now, the Gong Family was the most suitable and easiest target to bully.
That was why they gathered these people and came to the Gong Family with great fanfare to demand an explanation.
What a joke. It seemed like they hadn't suffered enough.
"Explanation? What explanation do you want? "
She looked at Rong Luyi fearlessly with her big clear eyes.
Rong Luyi was much more composed than Xu Yanqing, but at this moment, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"When I was investigating, I heard that the strange man riding on the tiger was sent by the Gong Family. We're just here to demand an explanation, but your family is evading responsibility, which makes us suspicious. "
Lin Mengya looked at him and smiled gently.
"Heard? May I ask where did you hear it from, Childe Rong? Why do you know more than us about something that we don't know? Oh, I know, maybe it's from hearsay? Tsk, I've always heard that Childe Rong is cautious and watertight. Now that I've seen it, it's just an exaggeration. "
Rong Luyi's face immediately darkened.
He had always cared about his reputation, because among the children of the aristocratic families, he had always heard about them before he saw them.
Gong Ya had touched his reverse scale, so how could Rong Luyi not hate this arrogant woman in his heart?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he continued.
"Miss Gong, what you said makes sense, but we have witnesses and material evidence. Someone, bring him here. "
A trace of nervousness rose in her heart.
It was very chaotic at that time, and she did not know if Gong Ping had taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
If it was him, it would not be easy to handle.
But when she saw that person, she felt relieved again.
"Eldest Miss, tea."
At this moment, Gong Ping came over with the flower tea that she liked to drink.
The young man still looked reserved, but when his back was facing the crowd, the young man smiled at her.
Sure enough, little Gong Ping was quite clever.
After taking a sip of the hot tea, she completely calmed down.
"Miss Gong, do you know this man?"
There was a man kneeling in the hall.
The man was tied up and looked very embarrassed.
But she could barely recognize that his clothes were gray.
Of course, she recognized him. Wasn't he one of the people who blackmailed her?
"I don't know him. Who is he? Your relative?"
The more friendly she was, the more Rong Luyi felt suffocated.
However, Lin Mengya acted as if she didn't notice anything and withdrew her gaze.
It was impossible for that person to recognize her true face, so as long as she stubbornly refused to admit it, it would be fine.
"This man is the notorious leader of the thieves in Jincang City. According to his confession, you once offered to buy the strange man and beast from him for 20,000 taels of silver. Miss Gong, is this true? "
Oh, the villain is the first to complain?
Lin Mengya was not angry or surprised at all. She flicked the non-existent dust off her skirt and looked at Rong Luyi with a smile.
"Yes, I wanted to buy it. Unfortunately, he didn't sell it to me. Why, am I guilty? "
She spread out her hands to show her innocence.
Rong Luyi's breath was stuck in his throat and he almost passed out.
This woman! She obviously did it on purpose!
Lin Mengya leaned back leisurely. This guy was playing psychological warfare with her.
If she had denied it just now, the other party would have an opportunity to take out something related to her. She would not be able to explain herself.
But now, she admitted it.
She admitted it openly, which made those people almost bite their tongues.
If that was the case, she would have room to maneuver no matter what the other party took out.
Rong Luyi almost crushed the teacup next to his hand. This woman was indeed not on the same side as the Gong family!
"Miss Gong, why did you buy the strange man and beast?"
It was not Rong Luyi who almost suffered internal injuries who spoke.
Instead, it was Muyucheng who sat aside with an unfathomable aura.
She knew that this man was also very interested in Xiaoyu and the others.
His purpose of getting involved in this mess should be to get his hands on the three little guys.
Tsk, childish.
Lin Mengya had never spat out what she had swallowed.
"Guarding the house. You all know that the Gong family is straightforward and we don't have any bad intentions. So we can only get two obedient dogs to guard the house, in case someone wants to take over our house. It's such a pity for the two little babies. If I bought them and trained them, they would eat one of them. If there are two of them, they would eat a pair of them. It would also save us the effort of digging a pit to bury the corpses. It's killing two birds with one stone. "
No matter how harsh her words were, not everyone felt the same way.
The inconspicuous Yu Family, who followed behind the crowd, immediately changed their expressions and became as black as ink.
In fact, many people had looked down on the Yu Family for their behavior.
Although they all wanted to take over the Gong family, they did not have to do it in such an unsightly manner.
Even Lin Mengya had to admire the thickness of Master Yu's skin for being able to sit there under the gaze of the crowd.
"The Gong family is so elegant! But it's not good to be a tiger or a wolf. If Miss Gong needs a home, why don't I give you a few trained hunting dogs? It's said that a good wolf can't resist a pack of dogs, don't you think so? "
Ma Beichen was still in high spirits, but Lin Mengya felt that he was implying something.
She tilted her head to look at him and felt the vigorous secretion of male hormones in his body.
"What Childe Ma said makes sense, but tigers and wolves are tigers and wolves. No matter how the dogs provoke them, they can't resist the ferocity of tigers and wolves. Thank you for your kindness, Childe Ma. "
The faces of the people around them did not look good. Looking at the arrogant Miss Gong, it was obvious that she was saying that they were tigers and wolves.
Then what were they? A pack of dogs!
At that moment, everyone was condemning Ma Beichen, who was full of lust.
