Lian Sheng was the commander of the Imperial Guards. If he took over this matter, it meant that he could mobilize all the Imperial Guards and search the whole city.
Even human traffickers had their own rules.
They didn't have the strength or courage to go against the entire Imperial Army.
Unless —
"If they've hidden them in a place where even the Imperial Guards can't find them, then there's nothing to be afraid of."
She pretended to mention it unintentionally.
In fact, she had thought of a place just now.
However, for Uncle Lian and Lian Sheng, it would be difficult for them to confirm that it was there.
Therefore, Lin Mengya felt that it was better for her to stop before going too far.
Master Lian furrowed his brows for a moment, but after seeing his wife's worried expression, his expression softened and he comforted her gently.
"Don't worry, Sheng 'er is very capable. He will take care of this matter."
Obviously, Madam Lian did not have her husband's keen intuition.
Right now, she was only worried about whether her son would be able to complete the mission and whether he would be blamed.
The atmosphere among them was a little gloomy because of this matter.
However, it was useless for them to be anxious here. Moreover, Lin Mengya knew that Uncle Lian must have understood something.
At least this way, they wouldn't be defenseless.
"The Dragon Capital is full of talents after all. I believe that those aristocratic families will be united by Young Master Lian. Since that's the case, I'm afraid there's nothing to worry about. "
Lin Mengya secretly gave Elder Sister Hui a look, and the latter immediately understood. She held Aunt Lian's hand with a smile and kept saying a few considerate words.
The whole family was concerned about Madame Lian. Everyone had the same goal in protecting her.
Mrs. Lian understood everyone's concern. She touched Shangguan Hui's forehead lovingly and gave Master Lian a reproachful look.
"You guys only know how to comfort me. I'm not the kind of person who would pester others endlessly. Don't worry, I know what to do. On the other hand, Xiaomei, now that Miss Pan has Aunt Tong's support, you shouldn't let your guard down. "
Madam Lian was a perceptive person. How could she not see that everyone was trying to make her feel better?
She could not interfere with the matters of the court, but she could not ignore the matters of the inner courtyard.
Today, she finally saw that Su Mei was smart, loyal, and capable.
Unfortunately, she was still too young and couldn't control the situation.
"Yes, we will trouble Madam with regards to the matters of the family in the future. We will definitely follow Madam's orders!"
She purposely stood up and playfully bowed to Aunt Lian.
Looking at her smiling face, Madam Lian's worries receded quite a bit.
Taking advantage of this, everyone immediately changed the topic.
Madam Lian inquired about Fourth Brother's "injury" in detail and instructed Lian Xing to be responsible for the internal and external security of the Gong Family at all times.
Only then, under Uncle Lian's urging, did he return to rest.
Lin Mengya and Fourth Brother walked them out. Just as Madam Lian was helped into the sedan by Lian Xing, Old Master Lian deliberately slowed down his footsteps.
Lin Mengya was also very tacit. The two of them fell behind the others, one in front and the other at the back.
"Did Gong Ya tell you about this?"
She furrowed her brows, but she soon understood.
With her current identity, it was impossible for her to know everything about Dragon City.
At that moment, he nodded quietly.
Even Old Master thought the same, so he wasn't surprised.
"She has always been sharp, but did she say anything else besides this?"
"The master only said that Eldest Young Master must plan this matter patiently and not rush."
Old Master Lian's eyes were filled with agreement.
The conversation between the two of them ended quietly without alerting anyone.
Standing at the door, Lin Mengya watched the group of people leave and could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
The affairs of the world were like a game of chess, no one could remain unaffected.
The identity of the Lian Family's Royal Attendant, which had been passed down for many generations, was about to change.
As the eighth day of the eighth month approached, Lin Mengya and Fourth Brother had to prepare more and more things.
The two of them were often so busy that Madam Lian and Elder Sister Hui had to personally escort them to their meals.
Otherwise, it was common for them to go hungry for a whole day and only have a belly full of cold water.
Fortunately, there was some good news. On the third day after the banquet in Scholarly Garden, her teacher sent a message saying that her great-grandfather and her brothers had finally woken up safely.
When she received the news, Lin Mengya slumped on the chair and let out a heavy sigh.
In the end, she did not lose what she cared about.
Immediately, she asked someone to bring a lot of nourishing things to them and agreed to secretly bring her great-grandfather and children back to the old house of the Gong Family on the sixth day of the eighth month.
After all, the school was the main venue on the eighth day of the eighth month. Once there were more people, there would be more things to do, and the security would be worse.
Now, with her and her fourth brother in the old house, and Uncle Lian Xing outside, it could be said to be impregnable.
Even Long Tianhao sent someone to complain that it was not convenient to climb over the wall at night.
But Lin Mengya just snorted at this.
Deserved!
Although they were busy, they paid attention to everything they should.
Therefore, when Lin Mengya learned that Miss Pan, who had been saying that she was ill and refused to go out, actually took the initiative to give up Scholarly Garden, she was a little surprised.
"She was so shameless and insisted on living there, but now she gave it up. She is really capricious and annoying."
Xiu was in charge of receiving the people sent by Miss Pan.
Naturally, they did not treat her well.
Lin Mengya looked up from a stack of documents, rubbed her sore temples, and asked.
"Other than moving, what else did she ask for?"
"How could she have the face to ask us for anything? But she did say that she hoped we could send someone to follow her, so that we could do a handover, lest there be any misunderstanding in the future."
This was normal. After all, there were many things in Scholarly Garden. Given their current dry relationship, it was understandable for them to ask someone to be a witness.
But this person … Lin Mengya looked at Baisu, Xiu, and Liu Qianrong.
They were careful, but unfortunately, most of them were already busy.
If she sent someone randomly, she was afraid that Miss Pan would make trouble.
While she was thinking about suitable candidates, Shangguan Hui, who came to help her and was responsible for watching her eat, stood up.
"If you can trust me, then leave it to me."
Lin Mengya looked at Elder Sister Hui in surprise.
Elder Sister Hui smiled gently at her and explained a little awkwardly.
"I just saw that you were all busy, and I'm stupid, so I really can't help much. I thought that I could at least check the number. Forget it, just pretend that I didn't mention it. "
"Don't say that. Miss Yue is so clever that we can't beg for her help. Baisu, go to the warehouse and bring the account book of Scholarly Garden to Miss Yue. "
Lin Mengya held Elder Sister Hui's hand and instructed her with a smile.
"I'll send a few people to go with you later. Remember not to be wronged by them. Just do it when it's time. Mrs. Lian and I will take care of it. We won't let you be bullied for no reason. Also, you can leave these trivial matters to others to handle. If there are any difficulties, send someone to tell Su Yan … "
"Okay." Elder Sister Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry and stopped her advice. With a smile on her face, she pinched her nose. "Why are you as long-winded as Ya 'er? Don't worry, I know what to do."
Lin Mengya was not worried that Elder Sister Hui would recognize her.
But she always felt grateful to Elder Sister Hui and wanted to protect her.
She asked Ning Liang to send two of his most capable people to follow Elder Sister Hui to the academy.
They didn't come back until it was getting dark.
She had wanted to thank Elder Sister Hui in person, but at the door, she only received the account book brought back by the servants.
"Where is Miss Yue?"
She took the account book and casually flipped through a few pages.
The records on it were very detailed. There were traces of damage or use, and they were carefully marked on it.
It seemed that she had done a good job.
After looking at each other, they replied, "Miss Yue said that she was not feeling well, so she went back first."
Lin Mengya furrowed her brows and closed the account book with a "snap".
"Did she suffer any grievances in Scholarly Garden?"
"No. Aunt Tong was busy today, and she was polite to us. And Aunt Tong said that she would compensate for the damage and used things in the courtyard according to the price. But after dinner, Miss Yue seemed to be a little absent-minded, so we didn't dare to ask in detail. "
The servants could only say what they wanted to say. And they did stay close to Miss Yue, and Miss Yue really didn't make things difficult for them.
This was strange. Elder Sister Hui always did what she started to do. Could it be that she really had some illness?
She waved her hand, let the servants go, and turned to Baisu.
"Put the account book away, and follow me to Elder Sister Hui's place."
Baisu immediately arranged everything quickly. When they arrived at the Lian Family, they saw a figure sneaking out of the gate of the Lian Family.
"Master, look!"
Baisu hurriedly asked the servants to stop the sedan chair quietly. At this critical time, all of them were nervous, so they naturally wouldn't act rashly and alert the enemy.
Lin Mengya lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, only to see a figure that was about to disappear. Without thinking, she got out of the sedan chair and followed Baisu.
They thought it was a thief, but with the father and son of the Lian Family, how could they let a little thief take advantage of them?
When they finally saw clearly who it was, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The man carried a bag and trotted all the way to a small bridge on East Fifth Street.
Although there were night clubs in the city, East Fifth Street was much quieter than other areas at night, because it was the residence of the rich in the city.
