Just after dinner, Sister Hui arrived with Uncle Lian and the rest.
The few of them all had tired looks on their faces. It must be because they were covered in dust from the journey and didn't have a moment to rest.
Madam Lian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her husband and son.
Gong Si was still unconscious, leaving only the women in the house. How could they not be worried?
"Master, you're finally here! Are you tired? Are you hungry? Did you have a smooth journey? "
When Master Lian saw the worry in his wife's eyes, he immediately revealed a gentle smile.
"Everything is fine. How are you?"
"Me too."
Madam Lian was a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head and said softly.
The relationship between the two of them grew stronger as time went on. It was simply enviable to the onlookers.
Lian Xing, who was blind, grabbed his mother's arm and acted like a spoiled child.
"Mother, Xing 'er is here too. Why don't you ask if he's tired?"
At this moment, Madam Lian remembered her youngest son.
Dotingly tapping Lian Xing's forehead, Madam Lian looked around but did not see Lian Sheng's figure.
Lian Xing knew that his mother was looking for his eldest brother and immediately said.
"Mother, Eldest Brother has something to do. He can't come for now."
Hearing this, Madam Lian was relieved.
The three of them arrived at the East Courtyard. After everyone sat down, Madam Lian introduced them.
"This is Su Mei, whom Ya 'er mentioned in her letter."
Lin Mengya could not help but feel nervous when she saw her old acquaintance.
Uncle Lian had sharp eyes and she was afraid that he would see through her.
She could only lower her head and greet him.
At the same time, Ning Liang and Gong Ping were also introduced by Madam Lian.
Old Master Lian glanced at them without saying a word. Lian Xing, on the other hand, looked Lin Mengya up and down.
Seeing that she did not react, he shifted his gaze to Madam Lian.
"Mother, I heard from Sister Yue that someone in the Gong family is causing trouble and even implicating Fourth Brother Gong?"
Madam Lian sighed helplessly when she heard Lian Xing's question. She told him everything that had happened to the princess consort.
"What do you think His Highness Xi is trying to do? Isn't he bullying us? "
Seeing Madam Lian's indignant expression, Master Lian immediately comforted her.
On the other hand, Lian Sheng wanted to say something but hesitated. His eyes were also moving quickly.
"Xing 'er, do you have anything to say?"
"This … Mother, this Princess is indeed Prince Xi's wife!"
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. The women in the room all stared at him in surprise.
"That's impossible! How did you know about this? "
Madam Lian immediately asked. Lian Xing looked at his father for help, but his father ignored him.
Since he was the one who caused the trouble, he had to settle it himself.
Helpless, Lian Xing could only swallow his saliva and force himself to speak.
"After Mother left, the Honored Ones suddenly gave the order to betroth a woman to Your Highness as your second wife. It was so sudden that it caused quite a commotion in Dragon City. However, His Highness has never responded, and the two of them have never gotten married. "
Lin Mengya immediately knew what was going on.
It would take at least a month to travel from Dragon City to the Gong family's fief, just like Madam Lian.
However, the news came only after Madam Lian had left.
This meant that Madam Lian should be very far away from Dragon City, or else she would have received the news.
Moreover, the Princess had arrived right after Madam Lian.
This meant that the person already knew about the Exalted Being's decree.
There had to be a deeper meaning behind his impatience.
Madam Lian, on the other hand, was extremely shocked.
"How could the Honored Ones do this?"
Madam Lian frowned, thinking that if this was really the Honored Ones decree, it would be difficult to handle.
Everyone else had the same thought as Madam Lian, except for Lin Mengya, who was getting calmer and calmer.
"Madam, you don't have to worry about this."
Madam Lian looked at Miss Mei. For some reason, she felt that Miss Mei did not seem to be worried at all.
Lin Mengya smiled and comforted her.
"Second Master Lian, this decree was issued by the Honored Ones alone?"
Lian Xing nodded. The decree was posted at the city gate, and he saw it clearly.
"Madam, the engagement between Master and His Highness was decided by the Emperor himself, and it was also His Highness's decree. But isn't this equivalent to slapping the Emperor's face? "
The Emperor and the Honored Ones were now like fire and water.
The reason why the Honored Ones issued the decree was probably to make things difficult for the Emperor, and at the same time, to provoke Long Tianyu.
Madam Lian did not react, but Lord Lian, who had been an official for many years, understood the meaning of her words.
But because of this, he frowned.
"But in this way, won't the Gong Family become the bargaining chip between the Emperor and the Honored Ones? This is not good for the Gong Family. "
"Lord Lian, to put it bluntly, even if the Emperor and the Honored Ones gave the decree, who among the ten aristocratic families would sincerely obey?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Lord Lian's eyes.
But soon, it was replaced by helplessness.
These words sounded harsh, but they were also the truth.
The status and power of the royal family were not as good as before.
"The Emperor decreed the marriage to win over the Gong Family. The Honored Ones decreed the marriage to drive a wedge between the Gong Family and His Highness. So, this decree is like a joke, and only a fool would take it seriously. "
If this decree was issued by the Emperor, Lin Mengya believed that she would immediately fall out with him.
But because it was issued by the Honored Ones, she did not take it seriously.
Although the Honored Ones made a big fuss, it was only because she was the Honored Ones.
And this move of hers was nothing more than to provoke Long Tianyu, so that she could legitimately remove Long Tianyu's position as the heir.
In any case, the Honored Ones were doing this for their son.
But some things, no matter how much they loved their son, they should not act recklessly.
Hearing that she dared to speak so boldly, Lian Xing could not help but sweat.
After all, his father had always been a loyal and patriotic man.
In Dragon City, no one dared to say anything wrong about the royal family.
This girl was going to be in trouble.
He was thinking about how to help this girl out, but he had a bellyful of words to say.
He waited and waited, but why did his father not get angry?
"Master, Miss Mei is just outspoken."
Madam Lian advised cautiously. After living together for so many years, she naturally knew her husband's temper.
But other than looking a little worse, Master Lian did not seem to have any other reaction.
"Yes, I know."
Lian Xing's breath was stuck in his throat. Was this the end?
He stared at his father for a few times, and found that his father was really not going to speak anymore.
He could not help but feel a little guilty, and looked at his father in confusion.
This, this was obviously not right!
He turned his head and looked at Su Mei as if he had seen a ghost.
What kind of magic did this girl use to make his father not get angry?
"Second Childe Lian, don't look at me. Master Lian is a loyal official."
Lin Mengya smiled and pointed at Lian Xing.
The latter scratched his head, still not quite clear.
In the end, Master Lian could only stare at him with disappointment.
Why did this child not have any spiritual Qi like others?
"In this case, this princess can't stay in Feiye. Master Lian, Madam Lian, it is not convenient for the master of my family to do this, and the ancestors have not recovered yet. So, I can only rely on you two. "
She spoke with sincerity, and Master Lian and Madam Lian nodded with a serious look on their faces.
If the princess was really instructed by the Her Highness to come here and ruin the relationship between Gong Ya and Her Highness, they naturally could not let her go.
After all, if the two of them were to become enemies, then it would probably cause an upheaval.
This was fatal to the royal family.
That was why Master Lian agreed to it.
The Her Highness must have gone crazy.
Did she think that by dragging Murong Xi down with her, her son would be able to sleep peacefully?
Even Master Lian and the others had a hard time rushing over.
Lin Mengya brought them to see Fourth Brother, and then personally sent him to Madam Lian's courtyard.
Because Madam Lian had been implicated by her today, she had secretly sent more people to protect Madam Lian.
When she was done, Lin Mengya returned to Fourth Brother's room.
At this moment, only Ning Liang was in front of the bed.
"Fourth Brother, she has left, you don't have to pretend anymore."
She lifted the curtains, and the person inside immediately sat up. He was full of energy, and did not seem to be injured at all.
"Little sister, I heard about what happened today. You did well."
Just now, Ning Liang took advantage of the time when no one was around and told him everything.
Gong Si looked at his little sister with a smile. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his little sister was really amazing.
Lin Mengya shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
"In the future, it's better to avoid this kind of thing. I am really not suited for acting. There were many times when I was afraid that I would be exposed. "
"Miss, you are too humble."
The corners of Ning Liang's mouth almost couldn't hold back when he heard her complaints.
Miss's acting skills were not amazing? Then they would not have to live anymore, okay?
If he did not know about it beforehand, he would have believed it.
Gong Si naturally knew what kind of person his little sister was. He gently flicked her forehead and asked softly.
"What you did today, you have shed all pretense of cordiality with the princess. What are you going to do next? "
Although that was what he said, Gong Si and Lin Mengya were not afraid at all.
She propped up her chin and blinked her big watery eyes.
"The princess must be half dead with anger. She will not let it go so easily."
"Yes, no matter what, she still has the title of the princess. Although we do not think that she is real, no one can prove that she is fake. "
This was also the reason why the princess dared to be so brazen.
Lin Mengya revealed a smile and snorted coldly.
