Taking into account her third brother's age, she knew that the Gong Family was doing quite well at that time.
Although there were signs of decline, at least they still had the airs of a big family. No matter what, it wouldn't be too ugly.
"When we first married into the family, we felt that Third Madam was too powerful. But First Madam and Second Madam were still there, so Third Madam could not control the family alone. Later, when Third Madam was pregnant, Third Master fell ill. Alas, I almost lost half my life. Fortunately, he got better, but Third Madam despised Third Master for being useless. After giving birth, she went back to her parents' home. "
The old maid's words made Lin Mengya gradually understand what happened at that time.
Her family had mentioned that First Master and Second Master of the Gong Family were brave and good at fighting. Although Fourth Master was young, he was smart.
Third Master was smart, but he died of depression because of his weak body.
"But aren't we friends with the An Family? Why didn't Third Aunt despise us before marrying into the family, but after marrying into the family? "
Lin Mengya asked curiously.
The old maid smiled reluctantly and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"That's because … after the death of the old master, the substitute master couldn't convince the others. Later, the family thought of letting a man inherit the position. But the ancestor didn't agree, so there was a storm. "
Although the old maid didn't explain it in detail, she roughly understood.
An Jiarong was proud and arrogant. Besides, she grew up in front of the wife of the An Family's master, so she was very sensitive to these things.
The reason why she chose to marry Third Uncle was that she thought he was easy to control.
With the help of the An family in the dark, the position of the family head would be a piece of cake for him.
Unfortunately, the people of the Gong Family were not so easy to be manipulated.
Maybe it was for this reason that An Jiarong returned to the An Family in a fit of anger.
However, only the people involved would know the details of the matter.
But from this matter, it could be seen that the An Family's intention to encroach on the Gong Family could have started at that time.
She suddenly realized why the An family would send those people to pick her up.
If it weren't for An Zichen, she would have been in danger.
"It's fine. We're all family, so there's no need to be so reserved. By the way, do you know what illness my third uncle has? "
Hearing her words, the old maid was obviously relieved.
After some thought, he shook his head.
"I'm really not sure about that. I only know that Third Master seems to have caught a cold and has been running a high fever for several days. At that time, he had sought many doctors, but none of them could do anything. But in the end, Third Master was blessed by the heavens, and he slowly recovered. It's just that my body has been empty ever since. "
Lin Mengya felt that it was a pity. If Third Uncle and the others were still alive, the Gong family would not have been bullied to this extent.
She wanted to continue to ask about this topic, but today was New Year's Eve, and it was not particularly appropriate to bring up these sad things.
After wrapping dumplings in the kitchen, she washed her hands and returned to the living room.
Inside, everyone was sitting together in a circle, waiting for the New Year.
It was probably the first time that Ning 'er had such a lively New Year. His little face was flushed, and he stared closely at the snacks in everyone's hands.
The family also loved to tease him. If Lin Mengya had not repeatedly forbidden them to feed the baby before she left, his hands would have been full of food by now.
The little baby seemed to be able to hear her footsteps. Before entering the door, he turned around and looked in her direction.
He gave his mother a big smile without hesitation. He was so cute that people just wanted to pick him up and kiss him again and again.
And Lin Mengya naturally would not let the baby down.
She picked up the baby and stuffed a sour and sweet piece of orange into his mouth. The baby immediately narrowed his eyes in joy.
"Come quickly. Great-grandfather was just talking about you. Why haven't I seen you for a long time?"
Gong Si immediately stood up to welcome her. The happy family was much more interesting than watching the Spring Festival Gala.
"The dumplings have to be cooked in a while. I heard that the snow sculpture lanterns all over the city are lit tonight. Why don't we join in the fun and have a look?"
When they went out that day, firstly, they did not see everything. Secondly, some lanterns were not lit.
According to the people who went out in the afternoon, it was like a fairyland. It was so beautiful.
The old ancestor of the Gong family did not want to join in the fun, but it was the first time that the family was so full. Everyone wanted to have a lively New Year, so he naturally nodded and agreed.
"Great, let's go get ready. We'll set off in a while!"
Gong Wu was the happiest one. He was originally lively and liked to play, laugh, and be lively.
But Gong San looked a little unhappy. When everyone went out, Lin Mengya said in a low voice, "Third Brother, let's go out together."
"Forget it. I'm not in the mood."
Now, the most complicated person in the family was probably Gong San.
After all, that person was his mother. Although he said that he did not care, how could he let it go so easily in his heart.
After all, that person was his biological mother. Although he said that he didn't care, how could he let it go so easily in his heart?
After all, that person was his mother. Although he said that he did not care, how could he let it go so easily in his heart? Let's go out to relax. Maybe, there will be a surprise! "
She blinked her eyes. Gong San sighed and could only nod.
After all, he did not want to disappoint his only sister.
The whole family dressed up and walked on the street. As soon as they stepped out of the door, she was fascinated by the outside world.
If it was a world of ice and snow last time, then it was a fairyland of snow now.
On this night, all kinds of snow carved lanterns blossomed with dazzling splendor.
No matter how big or small they were, they all carried new hope for the coming year.
Lin Mengya held the baby in her arms, pointed at the lanterns, and explained to him the fairy tales brought from the modern world.
When she was talking about the little mermaid, a pair of hands reached out from behind and held her in his arms.
Lin Mengya stopped and felt the warm and even breath of the man on her neck.
In the whole world, only she did not notice the arrival of that man.
Because they were so familiar with each other, even the sophisticated system recognized them as a whole.
"It's so cold. Why don't you wear more clothes?"
Beside her ear, came his low voice.
Lin Mengya could not help smiling and leaned her back against the man's chest with relief.
"I'm not cold with you around."
The man chuckled delightedly and took the baby from his arms.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw that the man was wearing a mask.
"What are you …"
"I came out with the Emperor. I don't want to be discovered by them, in case they scold me when they go back."
This grumbling was really enviable.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him and said softly, "You don't know how lucky you are.
"You really don't know how lucky you are. How many people don't get this opportunity even if they have their brains sharpened?"
In fact, she had felt it from his attitude before.
Long Tianhao did not hate the Emperor and the Empress. He even had some respect for them.
For a person like him, this was an extremely rare thing.
"Okay, I got it."
He gently kissed her on the forehead, which made her shut up.
Why did this guy know how to deal with her more and more?
She suddenly remembered that her family was still around.
He immediately turned around in a panic, only to find that he had been separated from his family at some point in time.
"It was Gong Si."
There was a hint of complacency in his tone.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Fourth Elder Brother was a man who was tough in speech but soft in heart.
He was afraid that her family would find out the secret, so he led them away.
He would probably be able to justify himself.
"Well, I'll thank him later."
"Don't thank him. If not for his meddling, I wouldn't be unable to see you every day."
How was this sorrowful tone like that of their family's wise and heroic Highness Xi?
He was obviously a resentful husband.
"Alright, don't take advantage of us. If it weren't for Fourth Elder Brother's help, you and I would have been discovered long ago. "
Come to think of it, they were both brave people.
Unexpectedly, that man did not care at all.
"So be it. I can't wait to marry you as soon as possible."
Lin Mengya's heart was as sweet as honey, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with a layer of shadow.
"We still have to be careful, after all …"
"I know what you're worried about."
Murong Xi took over her words and said in a low but firm voice, "No one can manipulate me.
"No one can manipulate me. Don't worry. Now, I can let everyone know that you are my woman."
Her heart skipped a beat. She could feel her heart beating too fast because of nervousness.
"You … what do you know?"
He lowered his head and looked into her eyes seriously.
"Although I know nothing about the past, I know that I can grasp the present and the future. I'll protect Liangyu and me. "
There were too many things contained in this sentence.
Lin Mengya's eyes reddened. Although he did not say it, she could hear his effort.
"Don't cry, be good."
Unknowingly, tears fell from her eyes and were gently wiped away by his free hand.
Lin Mengya gently leaned into his arms and let out a long sigh.
"Thank you, but you also have to protect yourself, understand?"
This time, she finally understood the feeling of fear.
Therefore, no matter if it was him or Ning 'er, she couldn't lose them.
Murong Xi held her in his arms and smiled in a low voice, which meant that he agreed to her.
"By the way, do you know someone called Prince Yu?"
Lin Mengya raised her head from his arms and looked at the man suspiciously.
"Of course I know!"
"Who is he? Which prince is he? "
"He is Ning 'er's father, the prince of Jin State."
After a moment of silence, Murong Xi's expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong? Why do you want to ask about this person? "
"I … may have killed him."
