"What do you mean, Fourth Brother?"
"I'm afraid that this is a trap set up by someone."
A ray of light flashed across her eyes.
Indeed, this was the Gong Family's fief, and the Si Tai School also belonged to the Gong Family. Moreover, everyone knew about the relationship between the Master of the Gong Family and Prince Xi.
If something happened to the princess, they would be the first to be suspected.
She had not come to look for trouble, but someone dared to look for trouble with her!
"Wait!"
She stopped Ning Liang. Fourth Brother was about to explain, but Lin Mengya continued.
"There must be no traitor in our family. But with so many things happening these days, it's inevitable that there will be a mistake. But what if our family was also burgled? No matter what we find, it must be the work of the thief. "
Fourth Brother's eyes lit up. He had to admit that Ya 'er's idea was better.
"Also, I was attacked by the thief and am bedridden now."
Fourth Brother said calmly. Lin Mengya secretly praised Fourth Brother for being so smart.
In this way, no one would dare to suspect that they were the culprit!
After the deployment, Lin Mengya and Baisu immediately returned to the East Courtyard.
They took off their clothes and took a nap on the bed. Then, they heard a commotion outside.
After exchanging glances with Baisu, they pretended to be in a hurry and ran outside.
At this moment, the house was already bustling.
"What happened?"
There were many people coming and going in the courtyard, and many of them were unfamiliar faces. Lin Mengya asked while knowing the answer.
"Bad news, our house was broken into last night! Fourth Young Master was injured and was just sent back to his courtyard! "
"How did this happen? Baisu, let's go and have a look! "
By the time they arrived at Fourth Brother's courtyard, Ning Liang was already very busy.
Seeing Lin Mengya, he immediately came up to her as if he had found his backbone.
"Sir, Fourth Young Master was seriously injured. You have to make a decision on this matter!"
The surrounding people all looked at her.
She pretended that she did not see anything, looked inside, and asked anxiously.
"What's going on? How did Fourth Young Master get injured all of a sudden? Is it serious? Have you called for a doctor? "
Ning Liang wiped the sweat off his face and said with self-blame.
"It's all my fault! If I had been more vigilant and discovered the intruders earlier, Fourth Young Master wouldn't have had to suffer so much. It's all my fault! "
"Alright, you can't be blamed for this. Quick, invite Madam Lian over. I can't make the decision on my own. "
She pretended not to notice the strangers in the yard. After instructing Ning Liang to invite them, she pushed open the door and walked in.
There was a bloody smell in the room.
She quickly walked over to her fourth brother's bed and looked at his pale face. There was a large pool of blood on his abdomen. She couldn't help but cry out.
"Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Master! What's wrong with you? Which blind thief hurt you like this? "
She said in a panic, trying her best to look panicked and helpless.
Soon, Madam Lian and Sister Hui arrived.
They were so anxious that they didn't bother to dress up. They just put on their simple coats and rushed to Gong Si's bed.
Madam Lian asked angrily when she saw Gong Si on the verge of death.
"How did you guard the Gong Family? Who hurt your fourth young master? "
Lin Mengya knelt in front of Madam Lian and cried.
"Madam, I don't know. Fourth Young Master was still fine last night. How did he … "
"Alright, let's talk about this later. Ning Liang, have you invited a doctor? "
Ning Liang, who was following closely behind, immediately reported, "Yes, he will be here soon!"
Madam Lian rubbed her eyebrows. Although her eyes were full of worry, she had been through a lot and quickly adjusted her mind.
"It's useless for you to stay here. Leave a few capable men to serve. The rest of you, go and catch the culprit!"
Because the master had given the order, no one dared to disobey Madam Lian's orders.
Madam Lian leaned over to check on Gong Si's injury. The expression on her face became more serious.
Soon, the doctor rushed over.
Seeing that Gong Si was being treated, Madam Lian felt a little relieved.
She then noticed that Su Mei was still kneeling by the side and softened her tone.
"Alright, get up first."
Lin Mengya immediately stood up and obediently stood beside Madam Lian, her gaze glued to the Fourth Young Master.
The doctor took his pulse and examined the wound.
After dealing with it for a while, he stood up and said.
"Madam, Fourth Young Master only injured his stomach. The wound isn't deep, but it looks scary. Wait for me to prescribe a few doses of medicine. Young Master, if you change it into a top-notch medicine for wounds, you will be fine. "
Once they heard that Gong Si's life was not in danger, they all let out a sigh of relief.
Madam Lian inquired about a few things to take note of before sending the doctor away.
Only then did Madam Lian notice that there were a few strangers standing in the courtyard.
Yesterday afternoon, Ning Liang purposely showed her all the capable people in the house in batches.
Indeed, she had never seen these people before.
"Su Mei, are those people outside from your residence?"
Hearing that, Lin Mengya immediately looked up and shook her head.
"He's not someone from the manor."
"Then who are they?"
"I don't know. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed."
She acted as if she was out of her wits.
Madam Lian didn't suspect anything. She just called her maidservant to inquire about it.
After that, the maidservant reported.
"Madam, they are from the Princess's side. They said that someone saw the assassin who tried to assassinate the Princess last night coming to the Gong Family. "
Madam Lian, who loved Gong Ya as her own daughter, immediately darkened her face when she heard the word "Princess".
She already felt sorry for Gong Ya, who had a home to return to. Now, there was another person who wanted to steal her husband. She felt that Gong Ya had suffered a great injustice.
Therefore, she didn't like the Princess.
She didn't expect that this matter was also related to her.
"Assassinated? Could it be that the assassin injured Gong Si? "
"Well, I didn't hear it from them. Oh yes, they want to search for the assassin here. "
Madam Lian was a little displeased.
But the culprit who injured Gong Si was very likely this assassin.
"Alright, tell them that they can search, but they have to follow the people in the mansion. Get a few guards to search with them. "
"Yes."
Lin Mengya, who was standing at the side, knew that things were going according to her plan after hearing Aunt Lian's instructions.
About ten minutes later, a quick-witted servant ran in.
"Madam Lian, quickly go and have a look! The Princess's guards found the assassin's night clothes and weapons in our mansion. At this moment, they are fighting with the Chief Steward! "
"What?"
Madam Lian was shocked and angry. But soon, she thought of something.
Her face darkened, and she looked like an enraged beast.
"How dare they use such a despicable trick. Yue 'er, your father and brother should be here. Go to the city gate to welcome them. When you get them, come here directly. Also, send someone to inform the Ma Family and the Cheng Family that someone is going to harm the Gong Family! I'd like to see who dares to touch my daughter's things! "
Lin Mengya was touched to hear that Madam Lian was so protective of her.
She looked up and felt that the more she looked at Aunt Lian, the more she liked her.
Such a gentle and dignified mother made her feel like she was being protected.
She followed behind Madam Lian to the place where the stolen goods were found.
Sure enough, it was in the woodshed in the backyard.
Since she cleaned up the Gong Family, the inner courtyard was like an iron wall. Not even a fly could fly in.
Because there were people going in and out of the backyard every day, it was easier to attack.
"The things were found in the Gong Family, which means that the assassin is from the Gong Family! No matter what, you have to hand over the people today! "
"Don't slander me! Your Princess is just frightened at most, but our Young Master is going to die soon! "
"Humph! Our Princess is of noble status. How can anyone be compared to her? I advise you to be sensible, lest His Highness gets angry! "
"So what if he gets angry? We are already angry! Before you came, we were all fine. Why is there an assassin when your Princess is here? Moreover, since the assassin was after your Princess, why is she safe and sound, but hurt our Young Master! "
"That's because we are protecting him. How dare you curse the Princess like this?"
"Who doesn't know that your Princess stole our Master's man, and now she came here to show off! In my opinion, the assassin was just a disguise. You wanted to take advantage of our master's absence to get rid of our young masters, so that your princess could have a good night's sleep! What a vicious method! His Highness Xi must be blind to let her be the Princess! "
"Shut up!"
Lin Mengya was the one who gave the order to counterattack.
She hid in the crowd and listened to the quarrel. The corner of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
Who didn't know how to create public opinion? They were the local tyrants and the biggest victim, so they had a natural advantage.
The Princess's guards were already seething with anger. Just as they were about to use force, they were surrounded by the servants of the Gong Family.
"The Princess's guards are so arrogant!"
Madam Lian's face darkened when she heard this.
It seemed that it was similar to what she had guessed.
When the people of the Gong Family saw Madam Lian, they immediately retreated.
The Princess's guards were obviously not aware of Madam Lian's status.
They just narrowed their eyes and shouted in an unfriendly tone.
"Who are you? You have no right to speak here! "
Madam Lian snorted coldly. She was getting more and more annoyed with the Princess.
Lin Mengya immediately stepped forward and held Madam Lian's hand, glaring at the guard.
