Lin Mengwu was beautiful, and she had been raised like a princess by Shangguan Qing since she was born.
As the daughter of the Lord Protector's Mansion and the niece of the Queen, she had an extraordinary bearing.
Today, she could finally hold her head high and victory was within her grasp. Her face was brimming with the radiance of confidence.
Her black hair was tied up, and she wore an eight-colored phoenix coronet made of gold and jade.
As she walked, the tassels swayed, and the phoenix wings, which were as thin as cicada's, trembled slightly, as if she could fly in the sky in the next second.
The dress she was wearing was embroidered with the pattern of the Gong family.
The dark golden pattern was vivid like flowing water, as the light changed.
The Gong family was rich and overbearing.
Only Lin Mengya's face darkened a little.
She recognized the dress and the coronet. It was the dress that every master of the Gong family could wear at the succession ceremony.
But the dress was too expensive, and it meant more than the dress itself.
Under normal circumstances, it was worshiped in the ancestral hall.
Then, every master of the family would choose a few similar elements to make their own dress and coronet.
He didn't expect Lin Mengwu to wear it on him.
She was a little angry at that moment.
Since she wanted to occupy the family property, she should at least show some respect to the ancestors.
Wasn't this a public humiliation to the ancestors of the Gong family?
However, on second thought, Lin Mengya turned her eyes to Gong Tu.
Gong Tu knew the meaning of these things, but he let Lin Mengwu wear them.
She pondered for a moment, then decided to wait and see for now.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Mengwu walked to the door of the ancestral hall.
She raised her head proudly and looked at Gong Tu, who was gloomy and unhappy. She pursed her red lips and showed a cold smile.
"Uncle Tu, today is my big day. It's not good for you to behave like this. "
Gong Tu looked at her deeply for a few times and said coldly.
"Do what you have to do. It's not your place to interrupt."
"Don't be so stubborn. Don't forget that I will be the master of the family in the future!"
After saying that, Lin Mengwu walked into the ancestral hall.
Gong Tu, who stayed behind her, showed a creepy smile.
Then, he followed her in.
Lin Mengwu followed the procedure. After kneeling to the ancestors of the Gong Family, she expressed her loyalty.
She had memorized this set of words for a long time, but none of them came from her heart.
The ceremony had also progressed to the most crucial step, which was to 'question the masses'.
Inside the ancestral hall, eight stewards of the Gong family sat down.
Gong Tu looked around and gestured to them one by one before he asked.
"Everyone, do you have any objections to Gong Wu taking over as the next clan leader?"
The eight of them looked at each other before the old man in the lead opened his mouth.
"Gong Wu, if you inherit the position of Patriarch, how will you treat the Gong Clan?"
Lin Mengwu was also very confident about this question. She pretended to be very sincere.
"Naturally, I will do my best for the Gong Family until the day I die."
The old man nodded. It seemed like he was quite satisfied with her answer.
After that, the second person asked the same question, and Lin Mengwu's answers were all pretty words.
It was not until she answered the last person's question that Gong Tu's tense face relaxed a little.
Gong Wu probably did not know that once she became the clan leader, she would immediately be taken over by him.
Lin Mengwu, on the other hand, was very proud of herself. She felt that the entire Gong Family would soon be in her hands.
Just when Lin Mengwu and Gong Tu were thinking about their own thoughts, Lin Mengya clenched her fists quietly.
"Now, who else objects to Gong Wu becoming the clan leader?"
Everyone expressed that they had no objections, but a cold voice of objection came from the crowd.
"She can't be the clan leader!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.
They saw a thin figure standing up slowly.
He had handsome features and a gentle temperament, like the breeze and the moon.
Although his cheeks were thin, his eyes were bright and full of expression.
He walked step by step to the outside of the ancestral hall. The people inside had different expressions.
"Gong, Gong Jiao?"
The people inside widened their eyes.
They did not expect that the smartest Fourth Young Master of the Gong Family would appear here.
Gong Si, on the other hand, coldly glanced at these people and directly walked in front of Gong Tu.
"Who gave you the right to do such a rebellious thing? Do you have the right to change the clan leader? "
Gong Si's sudden appearance caused an uproar.
Everyone knew that this branch of the Gong family had always been in charge of the family.
No matter how high Gong Tu's seniority was, it was unjustifiable for him to be the clan leader when Gong Si was still around.
Moreover, they had not completely controlled the Gong Family until now.
That was why they kept the people of the Gong Family alive so that it would be convenient for them to act.
But Gong Tu and Lin Mengwu did not expect that Gong Si would wake up and act up at this time!
Immediately, Gong Tu glared at Gong Si.
How dare this little bastard ruin his plan!
"Gong Jiao, you have not recovered yet. I think you'd better not participate in today's matter."
As he spoke, Gong Tu signaled his subordinates with his eyes.
Immediately, someone wanted to rush up and grab Gong Si by force.
Who would have thought that at this moment, someone would rush forward and protect him.
"If you want to touch Fourth Young Master, you have to step over me first!"
Gong Tu looked at the person and was even more furious.
That person was Gong Ping, who had been helping them to prepare for the succession ceremony.
Immediately, he gnashed his teeth and scolded.
"Gong Ping, are you going to make trouble too? Gong Jiao is not sober. Are you also muddle-headed? "
But unexpectedly, Gong Ping, who had always been silent, looked at him with eyes as sharp as a knife.
"I am from the Gong Family. Naturally, I have to protect my master. No matter who he is, it has nothing to do with me! "
At this time, Lin Mengya secretly gave Gong Ping a thumbs-up.
It seemed that Gong Ping had completely grown up.
Gong Tu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. But the situation was not completely out of control, so he immediately shouted.
"Why don't you help Fourth Young Master down? Gong Jiao, you are a junior. It's not your turn to speak here. "
Those people were ready to make a move. At this moment, Lin Mengya stood up leisurely.
"Let's see who dares to make a move. Gong Tu, from today onwards, you will be expelled from the Gong Family. You will never be allowed to step into Ye City!"
She was obviously a delicate woman, but her aura was extraordinary.
She walked over step by step, but seemed to carry the pressure of thousands of mountains.
Everyone looked at such a change and didn't know what to do.
They saw that she walked to the entrance of the ancestral hall and confronted Gong Tu.
Gong Tu looked at the woman in front of him with a cold smile and said in an unfriendly tone.
"You still dare to come? You colluded with outsiders and plotted to murder the old ancestor of the Gong Family. I have already given you face by not holding you accountable! It seems that you have walked right into the trap! Men, take care of this venomous woman for me! "
"Are you qualified to punish me? Gong Tu, you keep saying that you want to punish this and that. Let me ask you, what is your status in the Gong Family? Master, or in charge? Or are you a fox assuming the majesty of a tiger and taking advantage of your seniority? "
Her tone was not polite at all.
Especially what she said just happened to poke at Gong Tu's sore spot.
"I'm the elder of the Gong Family, so of course I have the right to do so. You are just an outsider, so it's not your turn to speak! "
"Elder? The Gong Family has always respected the Master, not those old and frivolous elders. I have a secret letter written by the Master. If you dare to touch me and Fourth Young Master today, you will be expelled from the Gong Family! "
She took out a letter from her sleeve.
Gong Tu's eyes narrowed, and then he shouted coldly.
"She's lying. Hurry up and arrest her!"
Gong Tu did not care whether she really had a secret letter or not. He only knew that now everything was under his control.
His subordinates were really blinded by the desire for power. They actually wanted to rush up and arrest them.
But before their hands could touch the hem of Lin Mengya and Gong Si's clothes, they were pushed away one by one.
"How dare you disobey the orders of the Master. I think you must be tired of living!"
The man in the lead was tall and strong. He sent one of them flying with a single punch and spat at that person.
"You, you're rebelling? I'll expel you from the Gong Family now. Get out of here! "
Lin Mengwu, who was ruined, was so angry that her face twisted.
Lin Mengya glanced at her and said with a cold smile.
"Lin Mengwu, if you still want to live, you better behave yourself."
Her tone was extremely indifferent. Hearing this, Lin Mengwu was startled.
"What, what did you call me?"
"The Master wrote to me about what happened to you. I think you've really forgotten the lessons she taught you. "
Lin Mengwu gritted her teeth and glared at her. In her heart, she wanted to tear Lin Mengya, that bitch, into pieces.
"So what if she told you? I'm her biological sister. What evidence can she take out? Even if she can, she can't even protect herself. The Gong Family will be mine sooner or later! "
Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Lin Mengya knew that she was hopeless.
"It's that bitch who asked you to come, isn't it? I knew that she would never let me be happy. Then she'll kill me. At that time, everyone will know that she killed her sister for the position of the Master! At that time, she won't have an easy time! "
Lin Mengwu had gone crazy.
Jealousy became the fire that tempered her and gave her the heart of a devil.
Lin Mengya wanted to ignore her, but Lin Mengwu suddenly laughed crazily.
"You've all been deceived by her. What Master? She's obviously a bitch who can sleep with anyone and is immoral. You still don't know that the adopted son of Prince Xi is the son of that bitch! In order to get the position of the Master, she slept with the five young masters of the Gong Family! Otherwise, why would everyone listen to her! "
