"Miss, the medicine is here."
Inside the room, there was another screen.
This one was much more lively than the previous one.
There were some paintings of flowers and birds on it. The brush strokes were excellent, which made it more elegant.
The colors weren't that intense, and they were indistinct. From the outside, only a few outlines could be seen, and it wasn't too clear.
Zheng Rongrong was a little surprised when Lin Mengya came in with the bowl of medicine.
Fortunately, she was a smart person. After recovering from her shock, she looked down and put the scroll in her hand to one side.
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
"You're welcome, Miss. Today, you have to drink the medicine in small mouthfuls. If you feel something wrong, you have to stop immediately."
She looked at the bowl in her hand. No one could see her expression.
Zheng Rongrong felt that something was not quite right. Could it be that there was something wrong with the medicine today?
She felt a little uneasy, but her intuition told her that the person in front of her would never hurt her.
Picking up the bowl, Zheng Rongrong saw that the person had no reaction at all. She could only put her doubts in her heart for the time being.
According to the person's words, Zheng Rongrong sipped the medicine in small mouthfuls, which was even more meticulous than drinking tea.
But the maidservant could not stand it anymore. The medicine smelled sour and bitter. It would be less painful if she drank it in one mouthful. But if she drank it slowly, she would feel terrible in her mouth.
Immediately, the maidservant brought a plate of red fruits with sugar to her mistress.
"Miss, have a fruit to change your taste."
Zheng Rongrong frowned slightly. Although the medicine was not the worst she had ever drunk, it was indeed uncomfortable.
She picked up a fruit and saw the person, who had no reaction just now, now raised his head. His eyes clearly showed two words — Don't eat it.
Afraid that she had seen it wrong, she tried to put the red fruit to her lips.
Sure enough, the person kept staring at her. Although he did not do anything else, she felt it more strongly.
After thinking for a while, she put the red fruit back on the plate.
The person immediately lowered his head, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Miss?"
The maidservant asked in confusion. At this time, Zheng Rongrong also had some guesses in her heart.
"Let's not eat for now. I'm not a child. Can't I take this little bit of hardship? Besides, didn't you forget what the doctor said before? If you eat it carelessly when taking the medicine, it will damage the medicine. Let's take him away first. We have to be more cautious about what happened yesterday. "
Lin Mengya praised Zheng Rongrong's intelligence in her heart.
The girl must have received her signal and thus gave up on the red fruit.
Outside, Famous Doctor Sun was a little frightened.
Yesterday, he had discovered that it was because of the fruit, but what made him even more anxious was that the fruit had indeed flowed out from his hand.
The person asking for the item was Zheng Luxi, a life-threatening thing. If someone found out about it, the eldest master of the Zheng family would definitely not let him go, and that Zheng Luxi would definitely put the blame on him.
Therefore, he could only swallow the bitter pill in secret and clean up that Eldest Young Master's mess.
Since they all wanted Zheng Rongrong dead, it didn't matter who did it.
Today, he adjusted the prescription. Unlike yesterday, he took the path of gentle nourishment. If Zheng Rongrong took the Sparrow Blood Fruit again, there would definitely be no abnormalities.
But he did not know that his secret had already been seen through by Lin Mengya.
At this time, she also used her own method to secretly warn Zheng Rongrong.
Soon, Zheng Rongrong finished drinking the medicine, but still did not eat the red fruit. Instead, she asked the maidservant to get water to rinse her mouth.
After that, she asked through the screen, "May I ask the two doctors, can I recover from this illness?"
Most people who are ill have asked this question.
Long Tianhao was still cold, but Doctor Sun wanted to win more trust from Zheng Rongrong, so he said, "Miss, although your illness was brought about in your mother's womb, it will not be a problem if you take good care of it. Although my medical skills are not good, I will try my best. Miss, please don't worry too much. "
"With your words, Doctor Sun, Rongrong can rest assured. Oh yes, previously my father heard that medicinal cuisine can nourish people, so he wanted to make some for me. But the cooks at home are not even one ten-thousandth as good as you. I wonder if Doctor Sun would do me the honor to give Rongrong a few prescriptions and let the servants make them? "
Of course, Doctor Sun was unwilling, but in order to achieve his goal more smoothly, he could only accept it politely.
And Zheng Rongrong was naturally "very happy", and even asked Doctor Sun to go to the kitchen to teach those people how to deal with the herbs and ingredients.
After he left, Zheng Rongrong sent the servants away with the reason that she was tired.
When only she and her confidants were left in the room, Zheng Rongrong immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Miss Yang, what's going on?"
Lin Mengya did not tell her her name, so Zheng Rongrong and the others only took her alias as her real name for the time being.
"Your condition yesterday is all because of this red fruit. I'm afraid Zheng Luxi is the mastermind behind this. "
He finished explaining the key points in an extremely fast manner.
Zheng Rongrong looked at the plate of red fruit angrily, raised her hand, and wanted to hit the harmful thing.
But Lin Mengya held her hand.
"Don't be anxious. Since Zheng Luxi dares to send this thing here, he will have a way to mix it into your food. It's better to let it go first, so that they can be numb. "
Zheng Rongrong was very angry, and her eyes were slightly red.
She clutched her bedsheets tightly, and the grievances she had suffered for more than ten years surged up like a tide.
"When did I want to fight with him? It's him who didn't give me a place to stand! I hate that I'm not a man, otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed him to hurt me like this! "
Lin Mengya knew that Zheng Rongrong had been tolerating it, but someone just wanted a mile when given an inch.
"If you're a man, I'm afraid you'll end up like your unborn brother. The most important thing now is to calm your father down. I can see that although he cares about the family, he also cares about you. Zheng Luxi might be touched by what he did. "
"So what? In my father's eyes, the family is far more important than his daughter. No matter how useless Zheng Luxi is, he will never hand over the family to me. "
She saw a trace of despair in Zheng Rongrong's eyes.
In this generation, no matter how talented a woman was, it was difficult for her to escape the fate of being imprisoned in the inner chamber.
"If he doesn't give it to you, won't you fight for it?"
Lin Mengya's words were loud and clear, as if it was a matter of course.
"Fight? How can I fight against him? I hate it so much, but I hate that I'm a woman! "
"So what if you're a woman? Have you forgotten your idol, the master of the Gong family? "
She swore that she was definitely not taking the opportunity to brag.
Indeed, this was the only example that could make Zheng Rongrong accept it.
Lin Mengya blushed and continued, "To tell you the truth, the reason why I'm helping you is to help the Gong family get rid of the unfavorable factors. Previously, the master of the Gong family only knew that the caravans that came by land were all extremely expensive. After investigation, he found out that it was because the Zheng family had exploited them too much. There were more than a dozen checkpoints on a trade route. Moreover, those checkpoints were guarded by local ruffians. If they were not careful, they would rob the entire caravan of its belongings. In the long run, it will definitely affect the Gong family's fief. If Zheng Luxi continues to act against the rules, what do you think will happen? "
Lin Mengya knew that she was never a good person.
She was a person with a strong sense of purpose. She was the kind of person who would not get up early without benefits.
If Zheng Rongrong really failed, then there was only one way for her to go.
That was to solve the problem with force, so that the Zheng family would not dare to fight back!
But in this way, both the trade route and the academy would be affected.
For the Gong family, which was still in its initial stage, it would be a heavy price to pay.
Therefore, she had to ensure that the Zheng family would be an ally and not an enemy for a long time in the future.
At the same time, Zheng Rongrong also understood something.
"If the Zheng family really falls into the hands of the father and son, the people will lose their reputation in less than five years. Miss Yang, I know you're a capable person. I also know that Gong Family Head is very powerful. Please, for the sake of those innocent commoners, help me! "
If Zheng Rongrong had done all those things and made preparations just to protect herself, then it would be different now.
But now, her eyes finally lit up with the light of hope.
Passive resistance and active resistance were two completely different effects.
Lin Mengya had to ensure that her ally had the determination and courage to move forward.
Zheng Rongrong's motivation was to avenge her mother.
But this was far from enough.
But now, it was starting to look like it.
"I'll help you, but at the same time, you have to trust me."
"Okay, I'll definitely trust you!"
"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, ask those who are absolutely loyal to you to come and see me. But don't tell them my identity first. I need to start the screening. Then, we'll plan the next step. "
Zheng Rongrong nodded in agreement.
It was necessary for her to do so.
Not to mention that there was something wrong with the Paihong Fruit, there was something wrong with the thing that came from Zheng Luxi and was placed on Zheng Rongrong's desk.
Everyone in the mansion knew the relationship between them. It was just a plate of hawthorn preserved in sugar. Why did they have to serve it to Zheng Rongrong?
If they wanted to act freely in the mansion, they needed subordinates.
Therefore, they could not allow a traitor to leak the secret.
"By the way, has anyone been watching you these days?"
Zheng Rongrong was a little hesitant, and her face was a little apologetic.
Lin Mengya immediately reacted and raised her eyebrows.
"Were you the one who sent him here?"
"No, no, no!" Zheng Rongrong shook her head completely, as if she was afraid that Lin Mengya would misunderstand.
"I didn't send them. It's my uncle. He has always been worried about me at home, so he pays more attention to everything. "
