It was clear who was close or distant.
Even though Cai Ling was just a shy young man, the people of the An family still experienced the feeling of loss.
"Since he's a friend of the Gong family, he's also a friend of the An family. Who is this Young Master Cai? Perhaps our An Clan knows him. "
Fourth Master An's way of getting close to Cai Ling was almost shameless.
Lin Mengya knew that Cai Ling was shy, so she answered for him.
"Fourth Master, you don't have to ask. Cai Ling doesn't go to the An family often, so it's normal that he doesn't know him."
She had made it very clear.
Fourth Master An's face changed, but he didn't dare to say anything.
He was the one who was happy at that time.
The meal on the table was incomparably dull.
The An family felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and the Gong family was not happy either.
Seeing that their best friends had become like this, everyone's heart was filled with discomfort.
Finally, they finished the meal in silence, and Lin Mengya asked the servants to serve them digestive tea.
Even so, the Gong family did not say a word.
The master of the An family could stay, but the younger generation wanted to leave.
However, no one dared to leave without the master's permission.
"By the way, Brother Gong, I brought you a person this time."
The old master of the An family thought for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile.
"Oh, who is it?"
Gong Qianfeng raised his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to be in high spirits.
But the master of the An family wanted to keep him in suspense.
"Go and see if she's here."
"Yes."
Immediately, a smart junior of the An family ran out.
After a while, Lin Mengya heard someone shouting outside.
"Master, aunt is here!"
Aunt? Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, and saw Gong San almost smashing his teacup.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes walked in, looking a little arrogant.
However, she didn't look at anyone, but greeted the old master of the Gong family.
"My wife pays respect to the old master."
Unexpectedly, this person was the biological mother that Third Brother didn't want to see.
The old master of the An family seemed a little unhappy, but he soon adjusted himself.
"Jia Rong, your son has grown up. You should forget what happened in the past. From now on, take good care of this family. Consider it your contribution. "
Lin Mengya really wanted to throw the teacup in her hand at the old man's face.
What did it mean to take care of a family?
Did he want this woman to seize the Gong Family's property?
Dream on!
"Yes, Jia Rong will remember your teachings."
An Jiarong was about forty-five years old this year. Although she was no longer young, she was quite charming.
However, there was a hint of hostility between his brows. With one look, one could tell that he was a harsh and forceful person.
Of course, Lin Mengya did not welcome it. She was thinking of ways to turn him down when she heard Gong San snorting coldly.
"Humph, our Gong family doesn't have a daughter-in-law like the An family. My mother is Madam Fang, not Madam An. "
Madam Fang was Gong Er's biological mother.
Hearing her son's words, An Jiarong immediately frowned and criticized.
"How could you hurt my heart like this! Do you know how difficult it was for me to bring you brothers into this world? "
She didn't expect Gong San to explode the moment she mentioned it.
"Crash!" The teacup was smashed into pieces.
"Mother? You don't deserve it! If you hadn't despised our father for being incompetent, we wouldn't have gone back to your mother's family three days after giving birth to us. Do you know how long father had been kneeling in front of the An family's gate with us in his arms? If mother hadn't pitied us and adopted us with Second Uncle, I'm afraid we would have starved to death! "
Gong San was very emotional, and the elderly master of the An family didn't look very good either.
After all, if the An family hadn't indulged their daughter, they wouldn't have been so embarrassed today.
An Jiarong pointed at Gong San, her eyes widened and her body trembled.
However, she was angry.
Because her son had disobeyed her. That was all.
"Third brother, when this happened, your mother was still young, so she did something wrong. Can't you forgive her?
The elderly master of the An family tried to smooth things over, but Gong San refused to give in.
"Young? Hmph, yes, you were young at that time. Then what about Yu Mingzhu and Gong Lian? Was it also because you were young and ignorant? "
Actually, hearing one's own son expose one's past would be a very embarrassing thing for anyone.
What made Lin Mengya more curious was that with An Jiarong's temper, she should have left in a huff.
Why was she trembling with anger, but still standing here and being criticized by her own son?
She couldn't understand this point.
"Gong Lian … I did it for his own good. Who knew he would be so disappointing! It's just Yu Mingzhu, why did he ruin his future? "
Lin Mengya was even more confused at this point.
Beside her, Gong Wu secretly tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear.
"Back then, it was this aunt who insisted on matchmaking the Yu Family and Brother Gong Lian's marriage."
Oh, I see.
Lin Mengya finally understood why Gong San was so angry with his mother.
He didn't care about being abandoned when he was young, but after he was brought up by his second aunt, his brother was betrayed by his mother.
This enmity would be huge.
They were not mother and son, but enemies.
"Yes, we're useless, so you don't have to go back to the Gong family. The Gong family doesn't have a daughter-in-law like you! "
Gong San's attitude was very firm.
But Lin Mengya didn't think that Gong San was heartless.
It was because the Gong family valued friendship so much that they wouldn't forget the kindness of others.
At the same time, they wouldn't easily forget the pain of being hurt and betrayed by others.
This was a clear distinction between kindness and hatred.
"Well … you've grown up and learned to talk back to me. Well, well, today I'll kill myself in front of you, and let you see how you forced your own mother to death! "
An Jiarong had a strong temper.
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya couldn't be threatened by others.
The people of the An family grabbed An Jiarong, and the elderly master of the An family looked at the old master of the Gong family anxiously.
But it was a pity that the Gong family was now watertight.
"Let go, Aunt An. Why do you have to do this?"
Lin Mengya got up, and all the people of the Gong family looked at her.
And An Jiarong was also looking at her warily.
Everyone could see that the real master of the Gong family was Gong Ya, the eldest daughter of the Gong family.
"Gong Ya, you're a sensible person. Jiarong is your third aunt. You can't treat her like this. "
Lin Mengya glanced at the elderly master of the An family and smiled gently.
"Of course."
Gong San was a little impulsive, but he immediately calmed down when she gave him a look.
"I knew that someone in the Gong family would know what's right and wrong. I've done so much for my son, but he's such an ingrate. Gong Ya, you have to talk to him. "
Lin Mengya glanced at An Jiarong with a complicated expression.
She nodded and turned around.
"Great-grandfather, there's something I don't understand. Please tell me."
"Go ahead."
"Although I'm not married, I know that marriage requires a marriage certificate. May I ask, Aunt An, where is your marriage certificate? "
This question rendered An Jiarong speechless.
She was so angry at the marriage certificate that she tore it up and burned it. Who would have thought that the Gong family would have such a time?
However, he heard someone from the An family say.
"The marriage certificate is recorded in the imperial court. You can find it by checking it."
Lin Mengya looked at the young man and continued.
"With the marriage certificate, you can prove that you're our daughter-in-law. But I remember there's a day in the Law of David. If a woman gets married without the permission of her husband's family or has lived in her parents' home for three years, she will be regarded as divorced. Aunt An, how many years have you lived in her parents' home? "
Gently and skillfully, he shut everyone's mouth.
At that time, everyone knew that Gong San's biological father had waited at the door of the An family for more than half a month with his infant son in his arms.
If An Jiarong hadn't been so heartless and refused to see him, the real third uncle of the Gong family wouldn't have died at such a young age.
Lin Mengya didn't know these things, but someone knew.
As soon as she finished speaking, an uncle of the Gong family stood up and said disdainfully.
"I'm afraid you've forgotten how Third Brother begged you at that time. In the world of ice and snow, Third Brother's body was weak. But you, a cruel woman, not only didn't come out to see him, but also asked someone to pour water on him. Now, how dare you ask your son to recognize you! "
Once the Gong family spoke, the An family fell silent.
Sometimes, honest people held grudges, but they didn't want to care too much.
However, who could easily forget the blood and tears that had been shed?
"I didn't! I didn't! He was useless, not my fault! I just, I just … "
An Jiarong was still denying responsibility and refusing to repent. This was the kind of person she was talking about.
And Lin Mengya finally understood the purpose of the An family.
It seemed that they really needed a lesson.
"What happened in the past is no longer important. Master An, I respect you as a senior, so I've been patient. But if you insist that I accept this aunt, we'll have to settle our old and new grudges at the same time. Our Gong family has lost two good sons in a row. I wonder, how are we going to settle this debt? "
She was clearly smiling, but there was a kind of coldness emanating from her bones.
That Family Head An had completely lost his arrogance. On the other hand, An Jiarong still didn't want to let the matter rest.
Lin Mengya turned around and looked at her calmly.
