Zhao Heng was sincerely grateful to her, but she still followed Zheng Rongrong's seniority and only called him Uncle Heng.
"Uncle Heng, when I interrogated Xu Liang, he told me that the reason why the Xu family treated Aunt Han this way was to get you to give them a treasure of your own accord. Do you have any impression of it?"
Zhao Heng was stunned when he heard this.
Over the years, Xu Liang had tortured Xiao Han and threatened the Zhao family again and again. He just thought that it was a misfortune for the Zhao family and that his little sister had met a bad man.
But when it came to the treasure, he thought carefully and said hesitantly, "Speaking of which, the Xu family mentioned it once when they gave my little sister the betrothal gift. They said that the Xu family was a famous family in Shang Yang City, and they hoped that the Zhao family could give them something real to keep up appearances. But my parents didn't like the Xu family, so the Qin family just added a lot more to my little sister's dowry. Moreover, I've never heard of any treasure in the family. "
Lin Mengya nodded and took out the small mirror.
"Uncle Heng, do you know what this is?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng's body trembled and he almost went forward to snatch it.
"Where did you get this thing? Did you, did you go to our ancestral hall? "
"I didn't." She shook her head and presented the bronze mirror with both hands.
"When the fire was burning, my husband saw a thief enter the ancestral hall to steal it. I guess you already know that the guards of the ancestral hall were killed, right? "
Zhao Heng's reaction just now was because he was too shocked, and he didn't really suspect her.
After hearing this, he came to his senses and looked at the person in front of him apologetically.
"I was confused. Yes, the guards in charge of guarding the ancestral hall were killed. I was wondering why they went to the ancestral hall, but I didn't expect that it was for this thing. "
Looking at the bronze mirror in his hand, Zhao Heng's expression was a little complicated.
"This is my sister's relic, and it was also the keepsake she exchanged with Rongrong's father. Later, before my sister passed away, she specially asked someone to send this back, probably because she didn't want my parents to miss her too much. "
After a woman married, unless she was divorced, she would be a member of her husband's family. After death, she could only leave her memorial tablet in her husband's family.
Seeing how much the two elders of the Zhao Family doted on Zheng Rongrong, one could tell how much they loved their daughter.
Therefore, Mrs. Zheng was afraid that her parents would worry too much, so she sent the bronze mirror back.
"In that case, there shouldn't be anything special about this copper mirror. Then why do people still want to steal it? "
Zhao Heng was puzzled by this as well.
"He's probably trying to cover it up."
That was what she thought at the beginning, but Lin Mengya felt that it was not so simple.
The fact that the Xu family was in cahoots with Second Elder Zheng was definitely not an impromptu idea.
Since that was the case, they must have come for the Zhao family's treasure.
However, Zhao Heng didn't have to hide it from her. Moreover, the assassin didn't steal anything else but this bronze mirror.
She had a feeling that their target might be the copper mirror.
"Can I have another look?"
Zhao Heng immediately handed the bronze mirror to her. She looked at it carefully for a while, and even the System checked it.
But there was nothing wrong with this thing.
"Master, there's nothing special about this bronze mirror. Apart from the simple design, it's no different from the bronze mirrors on the street. "
Lin Mengya asked, "You even know the design?"
"Why didn't I know?" In the System, Xiao Yao chattered as if her tail had been stepped on, "In addition to analyzing the medicine, I also collect some basic information about the local customs. In this era, the bronze mirrors used by the rich have flower carvings on them, but they are all peonies, peonies, lilies, and other rich flowers. Moreover, although the carving is from this era, the design is different from the popular bronze mirrors in the world. "
After saying that, as if afraid that Lin Mengya didn't believe her, she made a comparison with the pictures she had collected.
"These are all the information I have collected. At least, I haven't seen such a mirror in the fief of the Gong family. "
Xiao Yao's words and the pictures caught her attention.
But she remembered that this was something from more than ten years ago, so naturally it was different.
But she was caught off guard just now, so she blurted it out.
Zhao Heng, who was looking at the mirror attentively, was stunned when he heard what Xiao Yao said. He thought that she was asking him.
"Miss Su, you really have a good eye. The design is indeed different. When the Zheng family sent it here, even my mother said that she had never seen such a bronze mirror. You should know that my mother was a sea merchant, so the things she had seen at home were far beyond that of ordinary people. "
After hearing Xiao Yao's words and Zhao Heng's explanation, Lin Mengya became even more confused.
According to what they said, it was possible to investigate the origin of this mirror.
"Since it's Mrs. Zheng's relic, please keep it safe, Uncle Heng. We can't let go of the ancestral hall. If the purpose of those people is really this bronze mirror, I think they will have other tricks up their sleeves. "
Zhao Heng nodded solemnly.
While they were talking, Zheng Rongrong followed Tang Corps into the room to change Zhao Han's clothes.
At the thought of his sister's current state, Zhao Heng gritted his teeth in anger.
"Miss Su, how are you going to deal with those two bastards?"
Lin Mengya put aside the matter about the mirror and looked at Zhao Heng.
"I'm going to kill them, but they can't die yet."
Zhao Heng was the same. His face, which had always been kind and intelligent, now revealed a hint of viciousness.
"Not only do I want them dead, I want the entire Xu family to pay for what happened to my sister."
"To tell you the truth, there's something that you need to know."
"What is it?"
"The Xu family has a close relationship with Second Old Master Zheng. The death of your sister, Mrs. Zheng, must have something to do with Second Old Master Zheng's family."
Zhao Heng was stunned.
"How, how could this be possible? Even if they covet the position of the head of the Zheng family, they wouldn't dare to lay their hands on my sister! My brother-in-law may be a good-for-nothing, but he is sincere to my sister. All these years, the second branch of the Zheng family has indeed treated Rongrong harshly, but when my sister was around, they behaved themselves. "
"Do you know where Doctor Sun came from?"
When the fire started, Doctor Sun was not in the same courtyard as them, so he was not affected much.
Zhao Heng went to comfort him once and gave him a lot of gifts.
"Rongrong said that he was sent by the second branch of the Zheng family."
"Yes, but I suspect that he was behind Mrs. Zheng's death. Because he knows what's going on with Miss Rongrong's illness. "
Traces of coldness rose from the soles of his feet.
Zhao Heng had a feeling that once the truth was revealed, it would bring them a bloody reality.
"What, what happened?"
"She was poisoned. They did it when Miss Rongrong was still in her mother's womb. If it weren't for the magical medicine you sent, Mrs. Zheng would have been killed by them when she was giving birth to her first child. But at that time, no one, including Mrs. Zheng, knew the truth, which led to the tragedy. "
In an instant, Zhao Heng felt as if his heart was burning.
Within a day, he found out that both of his sisters had been plotted against.
Such an outcome made him, as a brother, feel as if his internal organs were burning.
"Why? Why did they do this to my sister? "
"It's probably because Mrs. Zheng was in their way. Uncle Heng, let's not tell Old Master and Old Madam about these things. But if we want to bring down the Xu family, the second branch of the Zheng family must be buried together with them. "
Zhao Heng was in a daze.
He clenched his fists helplessly. He could not serve his parents well, and he could not protect his sisters and niece. What kind of man was he?
"It's all my fault. If I wasn't so useless, if I, if I had power in my hands, perhaps this wouldn't have happened to them. Perhaps, this wouldn't have happened to them. It's all my fault, my incompetence! "
Zhao Heng was in tears. He was such a steady man, but at this moment, he was crying even more sadly than a child.
Lin Mengya sighed. If possible, who wouldn't want to have a pair of Fiery Eyes of the Great Sage to distinguish between evil and evil?
Unfortunately, people's hearts were unpredictable.
"Uncle Heng, the dead are gone. Since the Zheng family owes me, Mrs. Zheng, we have to get it back for Rongrong. "
"That's right!" Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "The Zheng family owes us two lives. I must get back what they deserve for my sister and my unborn nephew!"
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I chose to cooperate with Miss Rongrong is that the Gong family wants to open up a trade route. As our neighbor, if the Zheng family can work together with us, both of our families will benefit. So, from now on, your enemy is also my enemy. I will do my best to help you. When the time comes, I hope that you can keep your promise and work together with the Gong family. "
Lin Mengya was not trying to take advantage of the situation. In fact, she felt that it was a sign of sincerity to list out the interests of both parties before the cooperation.
After all, who would believe those people's good intentions for no reason?
Instead of harboring evil intentions, it was better to make it clear from the beginning.
In this way, the cooperation between both parties could be intimate.
"Rest assured, Miss Su. If this matter is successful, the Zhao family is willing to work for you!"
"Uncle Heng, you are too serious. Miss Rongrong is a good partner to cooperate with. Moreover, with the support of the Zhao family, many things will be convenient in the future. "
However, Zhao Heng felt that such a bargaining chip was not enough.
Now, for the sake of revenge, he was willing to go all out.
"I'm afraid you don't know, my wife is from the Tang family. Although she is taking care of her husband and children now, her family has been in the horse business for generations. To open up a trade route, I'm afraid that horses are indispensable. In the hands of my father-in-law, there is an unknown breed of horse that is comparable to the Ferghana horse. It has more endurance than the horse. "
