With the help of the Lian Family, the Gong Family was tightly guarded both inside and outside.
To the public, it was said that the Fourth Master of the Gong Family was seriously injured. However, the Ma Family, the Cheng Family, and the Lian Family seemed to have discussed it and guarded the Gong Family every day.
Every single one of their subordinates was like a fiend. If anyone took a second glance at the Palace, they would chase after them and shout at them.
After a few days, there was no disturbance in Feiye City.
And everyone heard that the person who stabbed the Fourth Master of the Gong Family was also the assassin who visited the Princess at night.
The subtle atmosphere made everyone guess how the two parties would deal with this matter.
The Princess's Mansion, which was bustling with carriages a few days ago, was now deserted.
Five days later, someone knocked on the door of the Gong Family.
"Master, the Princess of Scholarly Garden has sent someone here."
Lin Mengya put down the account book in her hand and looked up at Baisu who reported back.
"Oh? Did she say why she came to see me? "
Baisu's face was cold and it seemed that she was not happy.
"She said that the Princess wants to see the person in charge of the Gong Family."
The person in charge?
Lin Mengya picked up the teacup. She had been reading the account book in the mansion for several days, and it was time to go out and walk.
At this time, there were several people sitting in the hall of the Gong Family.
The leader was an old maid in black, followed by two maids, who looked like a competent steward in a big family.
But compared with the servants of the Gong Family, they were not good enough.
However, their arrogant look made the people of the Gong Family very unhappy.
When Lin Mengya walked in with Baisu, the old maid glanced at her.
Then, as if she had just seen her, she stood up with a smile and said.
"I think this is Mr. Su Mei, right?"
"I am."
Lin Mengya still smiled gently and pretended not to see the rude behavior of the old maid.
It was no wonder that she was a little embarrassed now, and she was not the person they wanted.
After the servants made two cups of tea, the old maid in charge got to the point.
"With your intelligence, you must know why I am here, right?"
"I don't know. What are you talking about? Did Princess Consort move into Scholarly Garden without the permission of the Gong Family? Or are you the princess's guards bullying people in the Gong Family? "
She seemed to be amiable, but her words were sharp.
The old maid's face changed, but she remembered her master's order and could only suppress her displeasure.
"Mister's words are a bit biased. Given my Princess's status, the only reason why I had to lower myself to stay in Scholarly Garden was because I didn't want to make things difficult for the Gong Family. After all, your family head will be our princess's sister in the future. Now that all of you are pestering endlessly like this, it will make things difficult for your family's Patriarch in the future. "
The supervisor narrowed her eyes and said threateningly.
She didn't know who gave them the confidence to say such words in front of her.
"Our Master didn't say whether we are sisters or not. Princess, please don't say such things casually, lest you embarrass yourself in the future. However, Feiye City was the Gong Family's territory. Even if you're the Princess, you'd better behave yourself and not do anything that will put the Gong Family in a difficult position. If that happens, it will be difficult for everyone. "
The old maid didn't expect that the people of the Gong Family were people who were unmoved by force or persuasion.
At that moment, she was so angry that she secretly scolded these people for not knowing how to appreciate favors.
"Humph! In that case, there's no need for me to continue to talk nonsense with you. My princess has said that she can be lenient with the assassins. But you must let my Princess know your sincerity. Otherwise, if the Empress knows about this, I don't know how your Gong Family will end up! "
She finally knew to use the Empress to suppress her.
The smile on Lin Mengya's face remained unchanged, but a certain sharp look made the old maid slightly afraid.
"Sincerity? What sincerity do you mean by that, Princess? "
The old maid thought that she was afraid, so she couldn't help being a little arrogant.
"My Princess is tired after a long journey. Although Scholarly Garden is good, it is not worthy of my Princess's dignity.
But I think this place is the only decent place in Feiye City. "
"How dare this fake try to occupy the Gong Family's place?"
Lin Mengya almost couldn't keep the expression on her face. Over the years, she had seen a lot of shameless people, but it was really rare for her to be so shameless.
"Dream on!"
Baisu scolded in a low voice, but the old maid looked at them with a sneer.
"I'm afraid that you two girls can't make the decision. Sir, you'd better think about it. After all, do the Gong Family have the ability to offend my Princess? My Princess is already very magnanimous to do this. "
She didn't want to live in another place. It was obviously a slap in the face of the Gong Family!
At this time, Lin Mengya's face also darkened.
"What if I don't obey?"
"Don't obey? Then the Gong Family, wait for the Empress's thunderous anger! At that time, I'm afraid that your Gong Family can't bear the consequences! "
"Okay, then I'll wait. Come on, see the guest out! "
The old maid didn't expect that the Gong Family's attitude would be so tough.
She gave Lin Mengya a fierce look.
"You! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! In the future, even if you want to apologize to my Princess, you won't have the chance! "
The old maid turned to leave, but Lin Mengya stopped her.
"Wait."
The old maid thought that Lin Mengya regretted. When she was about to say a few more words, she heard Lin Mengya say slowly.
"Since the Princess doesn't like Scholarly Garden, then please give it back to me. Ning Liang, take some people to keep an eye on it. Don't let the bitch in the yard climb up the Princess's dignity. When the princess leaves, smash everything in the yard for me. "
"How dare you!"
The old maid was completely dumbfounded.
She had thought that a family like the Gong Family would at least care about their dignity.
Unexpectedly, the Gong Family didn't play by the rules at all.
"Why don't I dare? I'm afraid that your Princess has forgotten that this is the Gong Family's fief. Everything would be decided by the Gong family. Whatever your Princess wants, she can go to Prince Xi's fief to get it. "
What a joke.
In the fief, even the emperor and the Empress's edict could be disobeyed, let alone a little Princess.
The old maid was so angry that she trembled all over, while Ning Liang, who was behind her, looked calm and composed.
He followed her back to the academy and repeated Su Mei's order loudly at the gate of Scholarly Garden.
Although he didn't really drive them away, he made everyone laugh at him.
At this moment, the princess consort in Scholarly Garden had completely lost her face.
After saying that, Ning Liang left. He didn't know how lively it was inside.
But from now on, everyone thought that the Princess was a joke.
On the second day, no one knew what the princess was thinking, but she actually sent out invitations to a few ladies of high status to have tea.
However, their men missed their target.
Because these people were all invited to the Gong Family by Madam Lian.
They were all old acquaintances, so they had a lot to talk about.
Especially Madam Lian and Sister Hui, who were both smart people, the atmosphere was very warm.
Lin Mengya was also formally introduced to the ladies by Madam Lian.
Lin Mengya sat quietly at the side, treating herself as a human background.
Gong Ping watched as Auntie Lian brought the furen around the garden, tasted some tea, and ate some exquisite fruits and snacks before he walked to her side and told her about Wang Fei's invitation to these furen.
"Sir, the Princess would like to invite Madam Lian to attend the banquet in Scholarly Garden with you."
After saying that, he handed her an invitation.
Lin Mengya raised her eyelids. She knew that the Gong Family invited these ladies, but she still dared to send an invitation to her.
It seemed that the Princess was very angry.
She thought for a while, got up, went behind Madam Lian, and told the matter to Aunt Lian.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Aunt Lian's face.
"If she wants to invite us, then let's go."
Lin Mengya nodded. She thought so too.
After Gong Ping went to respond, the tea party went on smoothly.
He accompanied these madams until their faces were almost stiff from smiling. Only then did he send them off.
Lian Xing also came to visit Madam Lian, but Elder Sister Hui took advantage of the time when everyone went out to grab her sleeve.
"Miss Mei, please give this letter to Ya 'er."
Lin Mengya felt something being put into her hand.
She covered it with a wide sleeve, then nodded slightly to Elder Sister Hui, indicating that she would bring it to her.
Seeing that Elder Sister Hui got on the carriage and left, Lin Mengya immediately returned to the West Garden and opened the letter.
But the content of the letter surprised her.
There was only one thing written in the letter, which was that Elder Sister Hui had forgotten about her and Ning 'er after being brought to Weiguo because of the shock.
After reading the letter, Lin Mengya looked a little serious.
After thinking for a while, she burned the letter to ashes.
Sitting on the chair, she looked at the darkening sky outside and sighed deeply.
"Master, are you worried about going to the banquet in Scholarly Garden?"
Baisu happened to come in and asked with concern.
Lin Mengya shook her head and tried to keep her emotions in check.
Forget it, she would deal with it when it came.
She didn't believe that there was any problem in this world that couldn't be solved.
"Nothing. By the way, help me pick out a gift. I'd like to see what tricks this princess has up her sleeves!"
Thinking that she was about to see the princess, Lin Mengya only sneered in her heart.
If what Elder Sister Hui said was true, there was a big problem with the existence of the princess.
She wanted to cut the Gordian knot, but now things were obviously more interesting.
The next evening, Lin Mengya followed Aunt Lian to Scholarly Garden.
There were many people around, but they all arrived at about the same time.
They communicated with each other tacitly for a moment, and then entered the yard.
"Greetings to all the madams. Our princess has been waiting for a long time. Please take your seats."
