Ma Beichen thought for a while and waved his hand at her with a smile.
"This is what I should do."
Cheng Su glanced at him. He had heard about it on the way here.
This lad was working so hard, he must be up to something big.
Su Mei didn't say anything and sat down with her fourth brother.
The two of them also felt that since she was currently representing the Gong Family's Patriarch, she should be present since it was a matter of an alliance.
Gong Si ordered the servants to serve tea. The atmosphere at this time was somewhat depressing.
She exchanged a glance with her fourth brother. In the end, it was her fourth brother who spoke first.
"Thanks to the presence of the two of you, we have saved a lot of trouble today. Please stay with the Gong Family for the next few days so that we can do our best as hosts. "
There were many people who came to congratulate them, but the Gong Family had arranged for them to stay in Ye City.
As for the truly distinguished guests, they naturally had to stay with the Gong Family.
After pondering for a while, the two of them agreed to it.
Cheng Su looked at them and asked in a low voice.
"The two of you, my father asked me to come here not only to help the two of you, but also to send a few juniors of the Cheng Family to the Si Tai Academy. May I know when the ceremony will be held? "
Cheng Su couldn't stay for too long. This was also the reason why the Cheng Family had sent someone over.
He only needed to show up at the most critical moment. After that, he had to rush back to the army.
Gong Si immediately replied, "We had originally set it to be on the 27th of July, but after this incident, I'm afraid it will have to be postponed. However, it won't be later than the 15th of August at the latest. Is it convenient for you, Brother Cheng? "
Today was the 2nd of July. The opening ceremony of the Si Tai Academy was also the opening ceremony of the Si Tai Academy. Moreover, the treasury that had been built previously was about to be completed with Long Tianhao's support.
Therefore, after a series of celebrations, it would be good if it could be completed by the end of August.
Cheng Su frowned slightly when he heard that.
Ma Beichen, who was standing aside, smiled mockingly.
"I'm afraid a boorish man like you won't fit in such an elegant place like the Si Tai Academy. I think you'd better leave quickly, lest you make a fool of yourself and embarrass your Old Master Cheng. "
"No matter how embarrassing it is, I have you to back me up."
Although Cheng Su was imposing and unmoving, the words that came out of his mouth were extremely piercing.
Ma Beichen's face darkened.
"Idiot Cheng, are you deliberately targeting me?"
Cheng Su snorted coldly and cast a sidelong glance at Ma Beichen as if he was looking at a retard.
"Let me tell you, don't think that I won't dare to beat you up in the Gong family!"
Ma Beichen flew into a rage out of humiliation and warned Cheng Su fiercely.
Unexpectedly, the latter didn't say anything at all. He just tossed the sword at his waist onto the table.
The disdain in his eyes was quite obvious.
The back and forth of these two people made her and her fourth brother feel extremely awkward.
"Cough cough, the two of you have worked hard today. I'll have someone bring the two of you to rest."
Cheng Su nodded at his Fourth Elder Brother and left with his men.
Ma Beichen, on the other hand, looked indignant as he stared at Cheng Su's back and cursed in his heart.
Lin Mengya was smart enough to drink tea at the side. The Ma family and the Cheng family had a close relationship. It was obvious that they had grown up together.
There were some things that she couldn't be a fool to mediate.
"This idiot Cheng has been silly since he was young. By the way, Mr. Su Mei, can you tell me about Gong Ya's recent situation? "
Could it be that this man was thinking of his previous image of infatuated man?
Lin Mengya smiled politely and said perfunctorily.
"Master is fine."
"Oh, that's good. My wound is still a little uncomfortable. I'll take my leave now. "
She was a little surprised that he didn't pester her.
She originally thought that this man would not listen to her questions, but she didn't expect that he only said such a sentence, which was even more perfunctory than her.
What happened to his so-called infatuated man? Did he just give up like that?
"Little sister, in fact, Ma Beichen is not as simple as he looks."
Gong Si saw that she was lost in thought and said in a low voice.
Lin Mengya immediately turned around with a gentle smile.
"I know. Otherwise, how could the Ma family be at ease to let him out? But now that the Ma family and the Cheng family are our allies, we will have to cooperate with them in the future. "
The Gong family's situation was not good before, but the Ma family and the Cheng family still chose to come forward at this time, which showed their full sincerity.
In the future, the three families must advance and retreat together.
"That's right. But the burden on our shoulders has become heavier."
Seeing that his little sister was not fooled by Ma Beichen, Gong Si was a little relieved.
Lin Mengya thought of another thing.
"Have you sent someone to keep an eye on Gong Tu?"
At the mention of this traitor, Gong Si's face was full of resentment.
"Of course. He is ambitious. How can he admit defeat so easily?"
"It's better to keep an eye on him. Gong Tu is cunning. If we don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future."
Although she and her fourth brother took control of the Gong family again, it was beyond their control. There were many loopholes in many places.
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Her fourth brother immediately went to make the arrangements. When she returned to the East Courtyard, she saw Gong Ping rushing in.
"First Miss, a corpse was fished out of the lake in the courtyard. You'd better go and have a look."
Lin Mengya had not even sat down when she came to the lake in the courtyard with Baisu.
By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of people surrounding the place.
When they saw her coming, they all made way for her.
"This way, please, sir."
Ning Liang had basically taken control of the situation. The corpses that he had fished up were also covered with sheets that he had sent for.
Lin Mengya squatted down and gently lifted a corner of the sheet. She frowned deeply.
"Tell everyone to leave. Don't tell anyone what happened today."
Ning Liang and Gong Ping immediately dispersed the crowd, while Lin Mengya ordered someone to carry the corpse to the pavilion by the lake.
After making sure that there was no one around, she slowly lifted the sheet.
It was a corpse that had become white and swollen, and had begun to rot.
Gong Ping was young and had never seen such a scene. He could not stand it and his little face turned pale.
Even Ning Liang's expression changed instantly. But Lin Mengya and Baisu, who were closest to the corpse, did not react at all.
"The corpse was thrown into the lake after it died. It had been soaking for a few days. How did you find it? "
Ning Liang exhaled heavily. He tried not to look at the corpse before he had the strength to open his mouth.
"The servant who was responsible for cleaning the bottom of the lake found it. The corpse floated up by itself, under the rocks under the pavilion."
"Well, that person must have been frightened. Give him more money for me and ask the doctor to prescribe some soothing medicine for him."
Suddenly seeing such a corpse, he must have received a lot of shock.
Lin Mengya looked at the limbs of the corpse and found that there seemed to be many wounds on the woman's body.
Baisu also found it and couldn't help asking in a low voice.
"Were these bitten by the fish in the lake?"
She looked at it and shook her head.
"Although fish eat rotten flesh, there isn't a single wound on her body that was bitten by a fish. Before she died, she was fed with a large amount of medicine, but … "
Although she had been soaked in the water for so long, it did not affect her sense of smell too much.
But the smell of medicine on the corpse was a little faint.
Obviously, it was because of the medicine that she did not eat fish and prawns.
She seemed to have thought of something and pressed the stomach of the corpse.
Unexpectedly, his stomach collapsed all of a sudden, as if his stomach was empty.
She immediately lifted the corpse's clothes and saw a horrifying scene.
"What, what kind of beast did this bite?"
Baisu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
There was a big hole in the abdomen of the corpse.
The internal organs had all disappeared.
But after Lin Mengya checked the edge of the wound, she shook her head with a serious face.
"It's not the bite mark of a beast, but a knife cut. The wound is very smooth."
Only then did she begin to examine the corpse's face. Although it was already beyond recognition, with Xiao Yao's help in restoring it in the system, a delicate and pretty face was soon pieced together.
"It's her!"
She said in a low voice, while Baisu looked puzzled.
"Master, do you know this person?"
She nodded and looked a little speechless.
"Ning Liang, do you remember the girl who was scared out of her wits when she saw the water ghost?"
Both of them were stunned. Of course they remembered.
But didn't they hear that the servant girl had been driven out of the mansion?
Could it be …
"That's right, this is her."
Speaking of which, although the servant girl was hateful, she had helped Lin Mengya by a freak combination of factors.
So after that, Lin Mengya asked someone to secretly send her some sedative medicine, so that there would be no sequelae.
Who would have thought that he would actually die here, and in such a pitiful manner?
Hearing this, Ning Liang suddenly seemed to think of something.
"I heard that Second Miss didn't make things difficult for her, and even gave her family a lot of money. Miss, I'll go and find out about this. "
"Go ahead."
She had a bad feeling about this.
If it was really Lin Mengwu who did it, she might have wanted to kill her.
But why did she kill in such a cruel way?
She carefully examined the body again and found that there were many small knife wounds on the body.
The wounds were not big, but they were so deep that the bones could be seen.
There were also many wounds on the face of the corpse.
That was why it was so difficult to identify.
After the examination, she cleaned the corpse, covered it with a sheet, and asked Gong Ping to find a place to bury it.
The next morning, Ning Liang brought another piece of news.
The servant girl's family had disappeared.
According to the neighbors, they had received a large sum of money, but for some reason, they moved away overnight.
