Lin Mengwu's eyes were full of hatred.
Since she could not inherit the position of the Master, she would not let Lin Mengya have an easy time!
The expressions of the people around them changed when they heard what she said.
Especially the elders of the Gong Family, they even revealed a few sneers.
It was a joke to let a girl with no background take charge of the Gong Family!
However, they had forgotten that it was Lin Mengya's return that gave them the chance to act like a proper person and take advantage of their seniority.
Lin Mengya gave Lin Mengwu a slap on the face without any hesitation.
"Are you done talking?"
It was just four words, but it was cold to the bone.
Lin Mengwu's hair was messed up by the swaying hairpin. That slap had completely aroused her ferocity.
However, when she saw Su Mei's eyes, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head.
That gaze was too familiar. Lin Mengya!
She was the bitch who had been entangled in the depths of her soul. Since she was born, she had been suppressing her, making her unable to turn over a new leaf!
Even a dog of that bitch was like that bitch, riding on her head and acting like a tyrant!
"Gong Wu, you have disobeyed your superiors and slandered the Master. From today onwards, you will be imprisoned in the Gong Family and will not be allowed to step out of the room!"
Lin Mengya stood proudly in front of the malicious gazes of the people.
As for what she had said earlier, she did not bother to explain.
Because it did not matter to her whether these people misunderstood her or not.
However, her domineering behavior had caused some people to be dissatisfied.
"Su Mei, even if the Master was here today, he would have to give us a satisfactory answer. You …"
"When the Gong Family's old mansion was forcibly occupied by the Yu Family, why didn't you ask for an explanation from the Yu Family?"
Her eyes turned cold and she spoke without any politeness.
"You, you are crossing the line! It is not up to you, an outsider, to tell the Gong Family what to do! "
A hot-tempered person shed all pretense of cordiality on the spot.
However, Lin Mengya was already prepared. She glanced at that person with disdain and spoke calmly.
"You do have the surname Gong, but you are too incompetent. That is why everything has to go through me, an outsider. If you have any complaints, bring it up with the Patriarch. I'm only following orders. I don't even recognize my relatives. What kind of relatives are you? "
After being dissed by her, the few old fellows around them were so angry that their noses were almost crooked.
But when they wanted to say something, Gong Si didn't give them the chance.
"The Gong Clan has always been governed by the Zong Clan. Since when did it become your turn to speak? I think you've forgotten the rules, haven't you? "
Before this, Gong Si had always given others the impression of a modest gentleman, gentle as jade.
But they never knew that all these years of enduring hardships had long trained Gong Si's resolve.
Moreover, before he fell ill, Gong Si and Gong Bin seemed to be on the verge of taking charge of the household.
In front of him, these old things naturally lost a lot of their confidence.
He turned around and exchanged glances with his little sister. Gong Si restrained some of his coldness and walked out of the ancestral hall.
"I've let everyone see a joke today. I'm truly ashamed."
Actually, in the eyes of some people, the change in the Gong family today was an opportunity.
As long as the internal strife of the Gong family continued, the slightest carelessness would instantly lead to the collapse of the Gong family.
At that time, it might be a good opportunity for them.
Gong Si lightly swept his gaze around and knew that there were many people with such thoughts.
However, Ma Beichen, who was standing at the forefront, laughed heartily at this moment.
"What are you talking about, Fourth Young Master? We've seen too many of these clowns."
"You're right, Brother Beichen."
At this moment, a clear and cold voice echoed from the door.
Even Lin Mengya was a little surprised. Next, it should be Ma Beichen representing the Ma family to form an alliance with the Gong family on the spot to deter people with ulterior motives.
But who was this person?
She asked her fourth elder brother with her eyes, and the latter was obviously also confused.
Then, Gong Si's eyes lit up.
"Cheng Su?"
She saw a few people coming in from the door.
The leader was a thin, serious-looking young man.
That person's age was about the same as Fifth Elder Brother's, but when he walked, there was a unique sturdy calmness.
Looking at the somewhat familiar face, Lin Mengya suddenly remembered the identity of the other party!
He was from the Cheng family. It was said that he was the youngest son of Old Master Cheng.
Like her brother, Lin Nansheng, he had grown up in the army and followed the army for many years to gain experience outside.
Who would have thought that the person sent by Old Master Cheng would be him?
Seeing Gong Si, Cheng Su's tensed face relaxed a little.
Gong Si also came up to him with a smile. How could he not know that this was Old Master Cheng backing him up?
"Long time no see. Brother Cheng, you've made a lot of military achievements again. Congratulations."
Cheng Su was used to being in the army, so he was not good at making small talk with others.
After nodding, he said in a clear voice.
"Old Master Cheng specially asked me to come here to congratulate the establishment of the Si Tai Academy. Old Master Cheng said that among all the masters of the Gong family, he valued this master of the Gong family the most. He's young and promising, and he's really a role model for us. "
Who was Old Master Cheng?
In the past 50 years, he was also a well-known figure.
Even the families present at the meeting had fawned on Old Master Cheng a lot.
But now, the Cheng family had come to the Gong family to support them.
Some of the ideas that had just popped up also shrank back under the impact of this matter.
Looking at the two of them, Ma Beichen had already understood.
He strode up to Cheng Su. The two of them were old friends for many years.
"Uncle Cheng has always had a good eye. Before coming here, my old man also said that all these years, only Gong Ya, a junior of the younger generation, has been able to win his favor. Although you and I are men, I'm afraid we've been outshone by a woman now. "
However, Cheng Su only glanced at Ma Beichen.
"A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
Immediately, the smile on Ma Beichen's face trembled.
This blockhead really didn't know anything!
"Humph, playing the lute to a cow!"
The two of them hated each other and had been fighting since they were young.
If it weren't for the advice of the two old masters and the importance of the Gong family, how could they work together?
Fortunately, Gong Si had good eyesight. He immediately smelled something.
Moreover, they were his helpers, so he naturally couldn't neglect them. He could only smile apologetically.
"Young Master Cheng, you must be tired from your journey. Please wait for me in the inner chamber for a while. After I've dealt with my family, I'll thank you."
Cheng Su had a different attitude towards Gong Si. After nodding to show his respect, he followed the person appointed by Gong Si to the reception room of the Gong family.
"Young Master Ma, is your injury serious?"
Gong Si asked in a low voice. Ma Beichen immediately shook his head with a smile.
After all, Cheng Su was a guest, and he was a friend of the Gong family.
No matter what, he had to accompany them to the end of this matter.
He turned around and sat on the chair with a golden saber. From time to time, he would glance sideways.
With him and Cheng Su holding the line, who would dare to have any ideas?
At this time, the faces of Gong Tu and the others were already as pale as ashes.
The situation had already been decided. Even if they secretly bribed some of them, so what?
With the help of the Ma family and the Cheng family, those small families also had to weigh their own strength.
As for those big families, they were more cunning than foxes.
In such a situation, they would definitely not easily offend them.
"Today, everyone is here. I'd like to invite everyone to be a witness."
Gong Si looked around from above, and finally his eyes fell on Gong Tu.
"The Gong family only respects Gong Ya as the head of the family. The others have to listen to the orders of the head of the family. The head of the family is intelligent, farsighted, and kind-hearted. I didn't expect that he would raise such a group of disobedient people who wanted to depose the head of the family. Therefore, the head of the family has decided that from today onwards, all the collateral family members will be stripped of their surname Gong and be expelled from the family. From now on, they have nothing to do with the Gong family! "
After this announcement, not only Gong Tu, but also those collateral family members who had taken over the lucrative positions of the Gong family were dumbfounded.
"This, this is impossible! How can the head of the family do things so ruthlessly? "
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.
Lin Mengya snorted coldly and said.
"If you can imprison the old ancestor and depose the head of the family, why can't the head of the family expel you from the family? Do you really think that the head of the family can indulge you just because you have the surname Gong? "
The collateral family members were still dissatisfied, and even wanted to make trouble under the instigation of some people.
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya was not willing to give them this chance.
"I still have something here. I wanted to save some face for you, but it seems that I have to say it."
Then, she took out a small book.
It was densely packed, and there were a lot of things recorded in it.
And these were all evidence that the collateral family members had embezzled money and pocketed it in a short period of time.
From Gong Tu to the old guys, and even the compradors in the mansion, everyone had a share.
After she finished reading them one by one, she threw the book on the ground.
"Do you still care about the Gong family? According to the family rules, what should you do? "
This group of people were dissatisfied, and immediately, someone jumped out and said.
"We just took some money. Besides, this is the Gong family's money. Even if we took it, we won't be kicked out of the Gong family, right?"
"Moreover, we have been mistreated for so long. Now that the family is prospering again, we can't be allowed to live the previous hard life, can we?"
This kind of judgment was extremely shameless.
However, Lin Mengya was not angry. She narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly.
"Really? Do you need me to tell you in detail how the Gong Family declined? "
Her words were meant for Gong Tu and those old fellows to hear.
Immediately, Gong Tu's expression changed slightly, and he had no choice but to lower his head, which had been stiffly sticking out.
"No need. Since we are no longer members of the Gong family, it is meaningless to stay here. Goodbye."
None of the collateral relatives of the Gong family had expected Gong Tu to admit defeat so quickly.
