Lin Mengya knew the hesitation and pain in her heart. She couldn't bear to ask more questions. She had to take it slow.
"Maybe it's because you've been separated for too long and you're not used to it. Sister Yue, why don't you calm down and think about it? "
Hearing this, Shangguan Hui could only nod.
But in her heart, she had some strange ideas.
Although there were some people who changed their temperament after the accident, Nan Sheng was very determined.
But with Nan Sheng's firm will, how could he have fallen to such a state?
What exactly went wrong?
Lin Mengya saw her look and found she had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
She took Sister Hui's hand and went to see the dishes prepared by the servants.
After checking every detail, Lin Mengya accompanied Elder Sister Hui back to the East Courtyard.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Mrs. Lian pondering, as if she was thinking about something.
The two of them obediently sat in front of the madam, who looked at them with a loving smile on her face.
"Seeing you two, I thought of Ya 'er. That child is the benefactor of our family. Without her, there would be no family. "
Shangguan Hui nodded. She was also very grateful to Ya 'er. Lin Mengya felt her face was burning, but she had to cooperate.
"I thought about it. I'm afraid that the thing about the fake princess will affect Ya 'er's reputation. I don't know what will happen in this ceremony. "
Mrs. Lian's thoughts were reasonable.
Although the previous thing didn't destroy the Gong family, it also exposed the shortcomings of the Gong family.
Compared with those prosperous aristocratic families, the previous 50 years not only made the Gong family dispirited, but also made them lose their most substantial strength.
Fortunately, the Ma family and the Cheng family helped them. Otherwise, how could those aristocratic families watch the Gong family prosper?
Once the academy was built, it meant that the Gong family would have a chance to prosper again.
How could those aristocratic families be willing to do that?
"You're right. Take the thing that Gong Tu slandered me for killing the Ancestor. If no one secretly added fuel to the fire, how could he have such great power? "
Lin Mengya said coldly.
At that time, although the Gong family seemed to be controlled by Gong Tu, in fact, some of the vital forces were still in her hands.
But what happened? She was the one who almost became a street rat, and everyone wanted to beat her up.
Also, why were there so many people rushing to flatter the princess?
They just wanted to step on her face and make the Gong Family lose the advantage of joining forces with Her Highness Xi.
These people were hiding in the dark and fanning the flames. They only wanted the Gong family to have internal strife so that they could reap the benefits.
He was afraid that on the day of the Start-of-Term Ceremony, they would definitely make some noise so that the Gong Family would never be able to rise again.
Madam Lian's expression did not look too good.
The future of the Gong family was related to Ya 'er's honor and disgrace.
However, there were some things that she couldn't stop even if she wanted to.
"It's not appropriate for Old Master and I to step in. We can protect you for a while, but we may not be able to protect you forever. If Ya 'er was here, she would definitely think the same way. Xiaomei, you're a good person. The Gong family will have to rely on you. "
Madam Lian patted her on the shoulder and Lin Mengya could not help but feel touched.
Whether it was her, Gong Ya or Su Mei, Aunt Lian and Uncle Lian, they all sincerely loved and supported her.
Lin Mengya could not repay their kindness.
"Don't worry, Madam. Since I dared to invite them here, I'm not afraid that they will make trouble. They can do whatever they want to do. If they succeed, then we don't have to think about reviving the Gong family anymore. Isn't it better to just let them have it? "
Madam Lian looked at the girl and saw that her eyes were firm and her attitude was calm. She looked really confident and did not look like she was trying to be brave.
She did not know why, but she felt that this girl was trustworthy, as if every word she said could come true.
Her heart, which was hanging in the air, was finally relieved.
Since Ya 'er chose to believe her, she must have her reasons.
"Good, you're all good children. In the future, whether it is the Lian family or the Gong family, we will have to rely on you children."
Looking at the group of children, Madam Lian could not help but feel gratified.
Lin Mengya and Shangguan Hui looked at each other and smiled. They both had people they wanted to protect, so naturally they would become stronger.
Today's time passed quickly.
From the evening of the seventh day of August onwards, the whole academy was brightly lit.
When the sky just turned dark, there was a continuous stream of carriages carrying guests to the academy.
Everyone looked at the academy in front of them curiously. Ning Liang, the chief steward of the Gong family, was standing at the gate in a neat new suit, welcoming guests from all directions.
However, except for some young madams who came with their children, most of the guests were the younger generation of each aristocratic family.
This was a warm-up activity organized by Lin Mengya, called "Night Tour Academy".
In fact, it was to invite the young people of each family to visit the academy first.
On the one hand, it could let all the families know about the academy first. On the other hand, because the academy first recruited these people, naturally, it was necessary to attract their interest first.
"There are so many people here. What if something goes wrong tomorrow?"
In the Scholarly Garden, Gong Si and Lin Mengya sat on the second floor and looked at the lively garden party outside. He could not help but feel a little worried.
Lin Mengya poured herself a cup of tea, which sounded like the sound of spring water hitting the wall of the cup. After a while, she said faintly, "There must be something wrong."
"Then why …"
"Fourth Elder Brother, instead of letting them come secretly, it's better to make things convenient for them."
Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the dark night sky.
Gong Si sighed helplessly and followed her example to pour himself a new cup of tea.
"Sometimes, I really wonder what's in that little head of yours. If this happened to others, they would be on guard against it, and I'm afraid that there would be a little problem. But you, on the other hand, opened the door wide. If they don't make some trouble, I'm afraid they'll feel sorry for you. "
Sticking out her tongue, Lin Mengya's eyes were attracted by a certain place in the crowd.
"Strange, why is he here?"
There were so many people below, but she only felt that person's gaze. It seemed that he was also looking at her.
Among the crowd, a tall and slender greenish-gray figure stood there.
He was originally incompatible with the surroundings, but inexplicably made people not want to touch him. So when he suddenly stopped, no one behind him was stupid enough to bump into him.
"What's wrong, Young Master?"
The confidant serving beside him only saw his Young Master looking somewhere.
They subconsciously looked over, but they didn't see anything.
"Nothing, I'll go over there to have a look."
The man turned around and resolutely walked in a direction.
The confidant dared not disobey his order, so he had to stand aside, and his eyes never left his Young Master.
He walked to the outside of a courtyard and looked up, only to see three big words "Scholarly Garden" written on it.
When he was about to walk in, a guard next to him stopped him politely.
"Young Master, you can't enter here without permission."
The guard did not scold him, and his tone was very polite.
He could only stop, but his eyes were closely following a figure on the second floor.
A trace of confusion appeared in his black eyes, but in the next moment, it disappeared without a sound.
He took a few steps back and glanced at a window on the second floor.
His eyebrows buried under the mask slightly frowned. In the end, he left.
On the second floor, Lin Mengya heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed her tense shoulders.
Gong Si's observation was very detailed.
Just at that moment, his little sister in front of him was like a little hedgehog who had sensed the danger, opening all her sharp teeth to face the unknown fear.
He was a little worried and looked outside, but all he saw was the flickering lights and the flickering shadows of people.
"Is there anything wrong? Ning Liang is still downstairs, should I call him over? "
Lin Mengya realized it later, and wiped the sweat on her neck.
She also did not know what was wrong with her, but why she had an instinctive sense of resistance to that person.
"It's okay, Yu should be here, I'll go down to meet him."
In the past few days, Long Tianhao had been extremely busy with the matter of cutting the stone jade.
Because it involved a lot of secrets, many things had to be done by himself.
Apart from breakfast every day, it was a little difficult for them to see each other.
Yu knew that she had arranged these night trips to the academy, so he wanted to take her to relax in the midst of his busy work.
Even if there would be huge waves tomorrow, she should not let go of the fun today.
Sometimes, Lin Mengya felt very lucky that the person who accompanied her in this life was a person who understood her completely.
As soon as she went out, she saw Xue Hua waiting outside.
"When did you come? Where is he?"
Xue Hua, who was dressed in white, smiled and did not say anything, but only handed her a mask.
She took it and saw that it was the face of a fairy in a painting, but on the left corner of the forehead, a blooming rose was carefully drawn.
Lin Mengya immediately recognized that it was Yu's painting.
She felt sweet in her heart, but she did not know what this person was doing. Although she was confused, she still put the wooden mask on her face.
The rose was enchanting and bright. Although it covered her face, it strangely integrated with her own temperament.
It was as if she had turned into the rose fairy, step by step into the mortal world.
Xue Hua led her to the gate of the courtyard.
She looked around, but did not see any familiar faces.
For no reason, she was a little nervous, and her two small hands subconsciously twisted together, but in the next second, she was held by a big hand.
"I'm here."
He said in a low voice in her ear.
In just an instant, the uneasiness and nervousness flew out of her mind.
"You want to take me …"
