She followed Lian Xing into the inner chamber. The warm fragrance inside was pleasant, making one's heart calm down involuntarily.
"I'm Gong Yu. Greetings, Uncle Lian, Aunt Lian, Brother Lian Sheng."
Gong Wu was still a little reserved, but when a lady came up to greet him, he became less distant and more intimate.
"Look, this child has grown so big. The last time we met, you were still a child. "
As soon as she entered the room, Lin Mengya noticed that there was only one woman in it.
Now that she was closer, she could see more clearly.
She was a lady with a beautiful face, and one look at her would make people unconsciously have a good impression of her.
Mrs. Lian looked very similar to Lian Xing. Lian Sheng, on the other hand, did not look like his mother.
As Lin Mengya looked at her, Mrs. Lian looked at her as well.
"Is this young lady the young mistress of your Gong family?"
The gentle Madam Lian walked in front of her, held her hand, and carefully looked at her.
"Mother, you don't know this, but this Miss Gong is smart and kind. She has helped me a lot!"
Lian Sheng called out to his silly brother when he saw him beaming with joy.
"Lian Xing."
Lian Xing immediately quietened down like a mouse meeting a cat.
"Hmm, you look like a good kid. Have a seat. Don't be shy. Make yourself at home."
Madam Lian's attitude was neither overly warm nor distant.
Perhaps she did not want to disturb her because it was her first time here.
However, she could see the love and appreciation Mrs. Lian had for the younger generation in her eyes.
Growing up in such a family, it was no wonder that Lian Sheng and Lian Xing would develop such personalities.
"This is your first time in Dragon City. Are you used to everything?"
Mrs. Lian asked her with a smile. Her voice was filled with anticipation.
"I'm used to everything, Mrs. Lian. It's just that it's too cold to go out. Otherwise, my brother and I would have visited long ago. "
Lin Mengya was well-behaved and elegant. Her good upbringing and temperament won Mrs. Lian's favor very quickly.
"There's no need for such courtesy between our families. I don't know why, but the snow this year is really worrying. Is it convenient to eat and dress in your house? Why don't you come stay at our residence? My family is full of boys, and I don't even have someone to talk to. Sigh, it's really tough. "
As she spoke, Madam Lian touched the corner of her eyes and secretly glared at Master Lian, who was sitting upright and still.
It was as if he was blaming the other party.
But who would have thought that Master Lian, with his upright and serious face, would actually avoid Madam Lian's resentful gaze!
Furthermore, there was a suspicious blush on her cheeks!
Lin Mengya was dumbfounded. What … what was going on?
Why was he being stuffed with dog food before he even said a few words?
On the other hand, Lian Sheng, Lian Xing, and her fifth brother were incomparably calm. It seemed like this was not the first time.
"There's no need to trouble Madam Lian. The things at home have already been prepared. If Madam doesn't want me to bother you, I can come to the residence at any time and chat with Madam to relieve your boredom. "
Madam Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she was looking at her anxiously.
"This is what you said. You can't go back on your word."
Lin Mengya naturally nodded. In fact, she liked this kind woman very much.
"Sister … sister, do you want to reconsider?"
Gong Wu winked at her, and there was a hint of pity in his tone.
Lin Mengya did not react for a moment. Other than her fifth brother, even the Lian brothers were looking at her sympathetically.
This made Lin Mengya a little confused. Did she agree to something important just now?
After chatting for a while, the housekeeper of the Lian Residence came to report that the family banquet was ready.
Madam Lian held her hand affectionately and walked to the small hall next door.
Perhaps it was because of the heavy snow in winter and the extremely low temperature.
Most of the wealthy families in Dragon City would use semi-transparent glass to seal off the veranda. That way, people would not slip and fall from the cold when walking in the courtyard.
Of course, the veranda was not completely sealed. Usually, there would be a small door in the middle, so people could go out and enjoy the snow at any time.
However, the veranda here was a little different from the one in Princess Chong Hua's Mansion.
The veranda here was half sealed, and the top was not completely sealed. It was just a little more sheltered from the cold wind than outside.
The Gong Family's mansion was not sealed.
Perhaps it was because there were no women in the family.
From this point, it could be seen that the three men in the Lian Family really cared about Madam Lian.
Lin Mengya liked Madam Lian the moment she saw her character. Moreover, she was a member of the Lian Family.
The small hall was not decorated, but it was very warm.
It seemed that this was not a place for them to entertain guests. This was not a disrespect to them. On the contrary, it was a sign of closeness.
Madam Lian and Master naturally sat in the main seat. Lin Mengya was supposed to sit in the guest seat next to her brother, but unexpectedly, Madam Lian pulled her to sit next to her.
"Huarong, don't make things difficult for Miss Gong."
It was rare to hear Master Lian say something, but Madam Lian glared at her master angrily.
"When I first saw this girl, I didn't know how to like her. It turns out that in my husband's eyes, you are deliberately making things difficult for her."
Her words were aggrieved and made people fall in love with her. Her tone was so sad!
"You know I'm not like that. This is the first time the girl has come to our family. I just think it's fine. Miss Gong, I'll have to trouble you to forgive me, I thank you. "
Lin Mengya did not expect that Master Lian would personally ask her for help.
Moreover, this was not a big deal.
"Uncle, you don't have to do this. I like Madam Lian very much. If we can get closer, I can't ask for more. "
Hearing her words, Madam Lian was even more pleased.
The others seemed to be used to this kind of situation. The guests and the host were all enjoying themselves at the family banquet.
After the banquet, Lin Mengya personally sent Madam Lian off. When she returned, she saw that everyone was still waiting for her.
She quietly sat next to her Fifth Brother. Talking about business, she naturally had to look like she was talking about business.
"Miss Gong, I heard from Lian Sheng that you were the one who came up with the idea for the snow hut and the medicine for frostbite?"
Lin Mengya nodded, then shook her head.
"These two things were already there. I was just a middleman. It's really not a big deal."
Master Lian seemed to be dissatisfied with her answer and frowned.
"I know that. But Lian Sheng also said that you wanted to make a snow lantern. May I ask, what are you planning to do? "
The main topic that she was invited to today's banquet was here.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and thought for a while before choosing the best answer.
"I don't dare to hide it from you, Uncle. If this was just a flash of inspiration and a moment of playfulness, then now I'm giving them a chance."
"Who?"
"The people who want to kill me and destroy the Gong family."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Lin Mengya looked at Master Lian calmly, as if she did not think that her words were alarmist.
"What do you know?"
Master Lian did not look surprised. This was also within Lin Mengya's expectations.
The Lian family was the Emperor's servant. They knew everything in Dragon City.
What's more, this was already a semi-public secret.
Master Lian frowned and pondered for a moment.
"This matter is extremely dangerous for the Gong family. At the same time, it is extremely disadvantageous for Dragon City. If you insist on doing this, then I have no choice but to offend you. As for this favor, the Lian family will repay it. "
Sure enough, the way he rejected her was similar to Lian Sheng.
Of the two brothers, one was very much like her father, and the other was very much like her mother.
However, Lin Mengya was not discouraged. If she could convince Lian Sheng, she could also convince Master Lian.
"Father, I think this is feasible."
She did not expect that Lian Sheng would be the one to plead for her.
Lin Mengya was a little surprised. After all, Lian Sheng was a very serious person.
Didn't he reprimand her for wasting money and manpower? Why would he plead for her now?
"Lian Sheng, don't be silly. The Winter Solstice is a big festival. There will be many people coming to watch the ceremony. The Emperor and the Crown Prince will also be traveling. If there is chaos, can you be responsible for the safety of the Emperor and the Crown Prince? "
Master Lian looked at his son and said in a reprimanding tone.
However, Lian Sheng did not back down.
"Father, that's not what I meant. However, I feel that this might be a good opportunity for us. You know that the three kings are ready to make trouble, and those clans are harboring evil intentions. If they want to harm the Emperor and the Crown Prince, even you and I will not be able to stop them. "
"Go on."
Master Lian knew his eldest son very well. He knew that he would not ignore his responsibility for his own selfish reasons.
Therefore, he did not stop Lian Sheng. However, he did not look too good.
"Father, Gong Ya was appointed by the Crown Prince to come to Dragon City. Moreover, her identity is special. Not only is she the daughter of an aristocratic family, but she is also the next master of the Gong family. If something happens to her in Dragon City, what do you think will happen to the Gong family? Will they really fall apart as the aristocratic families wish? I don't think so. "
She could not help but look at Lian Sheng a little longer.
Along the way, almost everyone thought that the Gong family was a bunch of weaklings. If they killed her, the Gong family would be finished.
However, they did not think that even without her, the Gong family had survived for so many years.
Her position as the master of the Gong family was just a spiritual symbol.
