The little thing in Lin Mengya's arms couldn't stand it anymore. He had already fallen asleep on Lin Mengya's lap.
"This little thing is really good at picking places. I think he likes to stick to Miss."
Shang'er joked. She smiled and took the child. Together with Baisu, they carried the child into the bedroom.
Lin Mengya and Gong Wu sat in the front hall. They both knew that the two of them had something important to talk about.
"Do you know who they are?"
In the month before the New Year, the aristocratic families and the royal family would arrive one after another.
The reason why they were so busy these days was that they had some clues.
Gong Wu also put away his leisurely expression. There was a sharpness between his handsome eyebrows.
"So far, they seem to be Prince Yue's men."
"Seems?"
Lin Mengya pondered over this word. It seemed that they were not sure which force these people belonged to.
"Although I don't know what kind of evidence you have, whether Prince Yue is involved or not, remember, don't act rashly."
Gong Wu nodded slightly. There was a touch of maturity on his young face. It was totally not in line with his age.
Lin Mengya glanced at him. She was afraid that everyone was mistaken.
The person who was really difficult to deal with in the Gong family was actually Gong Wu.
"Send people to pay attention to the Baili family. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise waiting for you."
She deliberately kept them in suspense. Although Gong Wu didn't understand why she did this, he had a kind of blind trust in everything Gong Ya said.
Of course, this didn't mean that he was stupid. He always had a strong confidence in Gong Ya.
"Did Prince Yue bring Princess Xianghua with him this time?"
"I didn't hear that Princess Xianghua was here. But I heard from Lian Xing that the Crown Prince mentioned it by chance the day before yesterday. He said that the Imperial Highness wants him to marry Princess Xi this year. I think this Xiang Hua Commandery Princess will also come. After all, if they want to get married together, they don't have to leave if they come now. Princess Xi and the Crown Prince's marriage can't be sloppy. "
Marriage? Dream on!
Actually, Lin Mengya didn't have a bad impression of Princess Xianghua.
But this engagement … she had heard Long Tianhao mention it once by chance.
Although he had already proposed to her, the last time she heard him mention the afterlife, it seemed that he attached great importance to this engagement with Xiang Hua Junzhu.
Everything about Murong Xi was fake. However, whether it was his fiancée or his so-called godson, they all had convincing reasons to believe him.
She had to figure out what Long Tianhao had been through.
"Alright, you have to be careful. If there's any problem, don't try to show off. Fourth Brother and I will always be able to help you. "
Gong Si knew that she was worried and agreed to her words without hesitation.
The next morning, when Lin Mengya just got up, she received a message sent by Gong Si.
The An Clan would arrive in two days, and Fourth Elder Brother had already met up with the An Clan without attracting anyone's attention.
That was for the best.
Just after lunch, the news of consecutive victories was sent over.
At this moment, Lin Mengya was very clear about how many people had come to the An family, who they were, and where they were going to stay.
The next step was to prepare a banquet to welcome their arrival.
In recent days, Dragon City had become much more lively because of the arrival of these people.
Walking on the street, people in different clothes could be seen wandering on the street.
Although everyone's accent was different, the expressions on their faces were the same.
Lin Mengya deliberately chose the Yuqing Restaurant as the place for the banquet.
For one thing, it was Cai Ling's territory, so it was much safer and more convenient.
For another, the standard and grade of this place were indeed much better than other places, so it was very prestigious.
And Cai Ling also attached great importance to her reservation. In order to make room for her, he did not receive any guests the day before.
Anyway, the staff of the Yuqing Restaurant were good at talking and doing things, so they almost appeased the guests.
When the day of the banquet arrived, Lin Mengya arrived at the Yuqing Restaurant early. Gong Wu and the others had also changed. They looked completely different.
"Fourth Brother has sent a message, saying that they have entered the city now and are rushing here."
Gong Si reported in advance so that Lin Mengya could make all the preparations.
The staff of the Yuqing Restaurant received the order from their boss, so they were even more energetic. They wanted to perform well in front of the eldest daughter of the Gong family and would never embarrass her.
Soon, a few horses came running not far away.
When the people on the horses arrived in front of them, they jumped down and saluted.
"Greetings, eldest daughter of the Gong family, greetings, Fifth Young Master."
Those people weren't young, but their figures were light and graceful, and Gong Wu seemed to know them.
"Uncle Mao, Uncle Kun, you're here too!"
Gong Wu smiled and greeted the two people. Only then did Lin Mengya remember that she had read about the An family before. It was written that the old master of the An family had a pair of very capable right-hand men. It seemed that it was them.
"Hello, uncles. I wonder if the old master is well after a long journey?"
They could treat Gong Wu as a nephew.
But they did not dare to be rude to the eldest daughter of the Gong family.
Instead, they treated her as an equal.
"Thanks to you, the old master is well. They'll be here soon. We came to see if we need any help?"
Uncle Mao asked with a smile. He had a kind face, and people could tell that he was a very kind person.
Lin Mengya immediately shook her head and said.
"Everything is ready. We're just waiting for the old master of the An family to arrive. When will they arrive?"
However, there was a hint of awkwardness on their faces.
In the end, it was Uncle Mao who explained with a smile.
"The old master was going to come to see the eldest daughter first, but unfortunately, he met a few acquaintances at the city gate. You know that as people get older, they become more and more sentimental. It's not easy for us to persuade him, so we came first to inform the eldest daughter. Maybe they'll be a little late. "
In the end, they were intercepted.
How could Lin Mengya not guess the cause and effect of this?
However, there was nothing she could do about it.
After all, she was not considered a powerful person in Dragon City.
"It's okay. We're all family. Why should we care about these superficial etiquettes? I just don't know who the old master is visiting. Please don't misunderstand. Isn't my Fourth Elder Brother here as well? There are some urgent matters waiting for him to deal with at home. "
Hearing that Gong Ya was not angry, the two of them finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's not an outsider. It's His Highness King Yue. As you know, His Highness King Yue and our old master are in-laws. "
It was actually His Highness King Yue?
Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but it quickly dissipated.
This was understandable. After all, they rarely saw each other a few times a year.
It was understandable for them to reminisce about the past.
"If that's the case, I'm relieved. Uncles, please express my gratitude to the old master when you go back. This meal can be eaten anytime. There's no hurry. "
The two of them naturally agreed and left in a hurry on their horses.
Lin Mengya and Gong Wu stood at the entrance of the Yuqing Restaurant, but their faces slowly darkened.
"Do you think they did it on purpose?"
Gong Wu's tone was a little unfriendly. Lin Mengya glanced at him and asked.
"Who are you talking about?"
"We obviously made an appointment with the An family and King Yue first, didn't we?"
Since he had promised to come, but he was interrupted by them on the way.
If this happened to any aristocratic family, it would be enough to make them angry.
After all, this was equivalent to playing with their good intentions.
However, Lin Mengya shrugged her shoulders, the gloominess on her face gradually dissipating.
"I don't dare to say for others, but the old master of the An family won't. He's not stupid. He's smart and naturally knows what this means. Do you think he really dares to completely offend the Gong family? "
Lin Mengya also saw this matter very clearly.
"So, this was done on purpose by King Yue?"
"You can't say that. If King Yue is really unable to refuse his kindness, it's understandable."
"Then why are you angry?"
Gong Wu didn't understand these things, but he understood Gong Ya.
The more this girl looked like she didn't care, the more it meant that she was angry.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes, looked in the direction where the two people disappeared, and said in a low voice.
"If King Yue has already known the news of our invitation in advance, this is a provocation."
Gong Wu looked at Lin Mengya, and a faint smile gradually spread at the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, forget it, let's wait for Fourth Brother to come and see what he has to say."
"Okay."
The dinner in Yuqing Restaurant lasted from noon to night.
However, it was not the guests of the An family who came, but the Fourth Young Master of the Gong family who was sent back first because they couldn't drink.
"Miss Gong, Fifth Young Master Gong, we'll go back now."
It was the An family who sent them back. Lin Mengya saw that there was a little joy on their faces. It seemed that something good had happened.
She didn't ask much, just thanked them, and let them go.
"Look at their glowing faces. They must have gotten lucky, right?"
Gong Wu said with some sarcasm. However, before he finished his words, the Fourth Young Master of the Gong family, who should have been unconscious from being drunk, woke up.
"How can I not be happy? The future Crown Princess and the future Princess Xi had a good talk when they met for the first time. In the future, I'm afraid the An family will have the final say in Weiguo. "
Gong Si took the teacup in front of him and drank the hot tea in one gulp.
Lin Mengya looked at the night sky outside, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became colder.
