However, when Gong Bin heard her reply, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
He wanted to say something several times, but he held it back.
"That's good."
He touched Lin Mengya's head, giving her the feeling that he was a father.
"Brother, actually I …"
"Silly girl, I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied."
Gong Bin smiled honestly, but all her words were stuck in her throat.
Family members should trust and support each other.
Therefore, Lin Mengya chose not to listen or ask.
"Don't worry, Brother. If someone wants to bully me, they have to see if Fifth Elder Brother agrees."
Gong Bin nodded with a smile, feeling gratified.
"Do you know what happened outside last night?"
Lin Mengya thought for a while and guessed that it might be about those people besieging her and Long Tianhao.
"It's not peaceful these days. Be careful when you go out. Also, don't mention what happened last night to others. Do you understand? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, thinking that she and Long Tianhao had been discovered.
Unexpectedly, Gong Bin sighed and continued to say.
"I heard that those people last night were taken down by the imperial guards. Alas, what's going on? How could such a thing happen under the heavens? "
"Brother, why did the imperial guards get involved?"
Gong Bin looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you know? Last night, the servants of Princess Chonghua's Mansion defected. "
"What?"
"I thought you knew. Last night, the servants of Princess Chonghua's Mansion burned the steward of the mansion and escaped. They ran amok on the street and injured many people. "
Lin Mengya frowned. This happened too suddenly.
"How is Princess Chonghua now?"
"I heard that she was frightened and escaped alone. At this moment, she has already been taken into the palace by the Empress."
She had heard Long Tianhao mention it a few days ago.
The Emperor did not want to see Princess Chonghua at all. He only asked her to wait in the mansion and send her back when it was time to deport her.
Now that such a thing had happened, the deportation would be delayed.
"What about the slaves? How are they now? "
Gong Bin shook his head. To the people of Wei Nation, slaves were not even considered people.
Furthermore, he was a slave who had betrayed his master and injured others.
The odds were against him.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Mengya glanced at her eldest brother. There were very few servants in the Gong Family, and all of them stayed voluntarily. The Gong Family would not punish them, so there was no hidden danger in the Gong Family.
However … The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
"I think that Princess Chong Hua must be at a loss for what to do after encountering such a calamity. This time, the Exalted One will definitely take pity on her again. "
Gong Bin also thought so. After giving Lin Mengya some advice, he went out to deal with other things.
"Master, how could it be so coincidental?"
Baisu had been by her side for a long time, so she naturally had extraordinary insight.
"Yes, Ning 'er was raised as a slave by Zhong Hua. Last night, the appearance of that female slave was probably not an accident. Oh right, where is she? "
"He died on the spot, and his body was taken away by His Highness' men."
She did not remember what happened at that time, but fortunately, Baisu must have seen what happened.
Otherwise, she would not have known to cover for her.
"Okay, I got it. You can go out first. I'm going to the Lian Family."
Although the two families were very close, the Gong Family still sent many people to escort her all the way.
When she arrived at the Lian Family, Lian Xing, a busy man, was at home, but he still stayed by Mrs. Lian's bed.
When he saw her coming, he immediately stood up to welcome her.
"You're here. Sit down!"
Now, almost everyone in the Lian Family treated her as one of their own.
Even though Lian Xing had once said something crazy, Lin Mengya didn't take it to heart. Lian Xing was also frank and open.
There was nothing awkward between the two of them.
"Why aren't you on duty today?"
Out of habit, she felt Mrs. Lian's pulse and gave her acupuncture treatment.
Although Mrs. Lian had been in a coma, her condition had actually stabilized.
This made Lin Mengya even more curious. She had treated her with detoxification, but she did not expect that it would really work.
But at the same time, it made her even more confused.
This method was one of the unique skills that her teacher had studied all his life. Although there were many different poisons, the root of the problem was that the drug would clash with the human body.
The so-called detoxification, in most cases, played a role of neutralization.
Based on this foundation, her teacher created a detoxification method.
But he had not had time to try this method.
Moreover, this method was very gentle and could only be used on poisons that were not strong.
Who would have thought that it would actually work?
It seemed that Mrs. Lian was indeed poisoned.
But her Shen Nung system had not failed. How could she not sense it?
"I'm off today. The Emperor sympathizes that no one is taking care of my mother, so he specially allowed my father to be on duty for me."
The Emperor attached great importance to Mrs. Lian's illness.
In addition to sending imperial physicians to treat her, he was considerate in every aspect.
Of course, for the favored officials, this was nothing.
But the Lian Family were people who knew how to repay kindness. They were very grateful for all the arrangements made by the Emperor.
"Have you heard about what happened last night?"
In fact, she had originally wanted to ask Lian Sheng about the situation.
Although she was not on good terms with Princess Chonghua, she could not ignore what happened last night.
"Well, are you talking about the defection of Princess Chonghua's servants?"
Lin Mengya nodded and put away the silver needles.
"Do you know anything about the situation at that time?"
Lian Xing said as he wiped his mother's hands.
"According to my brother, when he arrived, those servants had all gone crazy. They beat everyone they saw, and even injured several innocent passers-by. Later, the imperial guards joined forces with those people to subdue them. However, a few of them managed to escape. Now, they are wanted in the whole city. "
Unexpectedly, there were some who escaped.
Her intuition told her that there was something fishy about this matter.
Especially the woman who snatched her child, she was even more abnormal.
"You seem to be very concerned about this matter."
Lin Mengya came to her senses and looked into Lian Xing's eyes.
It had only been a while, but the innocent and cheerful lad had such a sharp look in his eyes.
Lin Mengya smiled and did not answer his question.
"Are you really not going to consider the matter I mentioned before?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at Lian Xing solemnly.
The man's tone sounded as if he was talking about buying cabbage.
"Lian Xing, I know that Lian Sheng and Uncle Lian must want me to marry you. The Gong Family and the Lian Family are on good terms. If I marry you, our two families will be even closer. Aunt Lian likes me and will love me like her own daughter. As for you, whether it's for the sake of the Gong family or our friendship, you won't mistreat me. So as long as I am not stupid, I should know that marrying you is a better choice. It is better than marrying someone I have never met and don't know anything about, right? "
Lian Xing nodded. His father and brother had mentioned this to him.
And he agreed with them very much.
But Lin Mengya shook her head and said with a smile.
"You may not have a girl you like now, so you think that marriage is actually a tool that can be used. But I know you are doing this out of kindness, so I thank you in advance. "
"Since you know, why don't you agree? Or do you have any dissatisfaction with me? "
Lian Xing still didn't understand, but Lin Mengya knew better than anyone else.
"It's not your problem, but mine. Lian Xing, I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to marry a man I don't like. "
Looking at his puzzled face, Lin Mengya felt that it was too difficult to explain the freedom of marriage and love to an ancient person.
So she decided to make a long story short.
"Perhaps you think that the woman that people like us marry will be beneficial to our family. However, Lian Xing, humans are not emotionless blocks of wood. One day, you will meet the woman that you admire. And if you marry me at that time, where will you put the girl you like? If you like her, you will betray me. If you give up on her, you will betray your heart. You are very lucky, because your father and brother don't need you to consolidate the power of the family. Me too. I won't use my marriage as a bargaining chip. Do you understand? "
Lin Mengya knew that Lian Xing would not understand this kind of thing in a short time.
She smiled, turned around, took her things, and was ready to leave.
"What if I promise that I won't fall in love with any other girl?"
She said without looking back.
"But I can't."
No matter whether he had figured it out or not, she had tried her best to say and do what she should say and do.
"Miss Gong, why are you leaving as soon as you arrive?"
In the yard, she met Lian Yue, who went to get medicine.
Lian Yue was not the same as she used to be.
She was no longer the smart and quick-witted young mistress who had to deal with those people for her own sake when she was in Jin Nation.
Now, Shangguan Hui was more virtuous and gentle.
Looking at her, Lin Mengya felt a little warm in her heart.
"I come to see my aunt. How is she these days?"
Lian Yue also liked talking to her. He quietly asked someone to send the medicine in, and decided to accompany her.
"Madam's condition is still very stable, but I have something to ask you."
Lin Mengya nodded, and Lian Yue was a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he said.
"Do you believe in what people have dreamed in their dreams?"
"Dreams?" Lin Mengya suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked tentatively.
"Did you see anyone in your dreams?"
Lian Yue immediately looked at her in surprise.
