Since the beginning of the counterattack, Lin Mengya and the others had helped Zheng Rongrong collect a lot of evil deeds of the Xu family.
In addition, with the help of Long Tianyu's men in secret, those who had been forcibly suppressed by the Xu family with their power and almost destroyed their families had a chance to make a comeback.
Many truths of that year were spread along with the rumors.
Now, not only in Shang Yang City, but also in the entire fief of the Zheng family, everyone knew about the crimes of the Xu family.
As she had expected, in addition to these rumors, some people tried to use what happened that day to discredit Zheng Rongrong.
They said that she was vicious and didn't care about her kinship.
But the truth had long been spread. So when these strange voices appeared, they were strangled in the bud by the general public.
Lin Mengya just smiled when she learned about the situation.
In a war of public opinion, the most important thing was to have an explosive point.
Although Zheng Rongrong's reputation was not bad before, over the years, she had been secretly made up by the second branch of the Zheng family.
Compared with the bad people doing worse things, of course, it was more interesting to see the collapse of a good person.
Now, the rumors had involved the second branch of the Xu family.
Some people said that Xu Liang's concubine was the most popular courtesan in a brothel.
But this Courtesan Maiden was later redeemed by Zheng Luxi later on.
In fact, it was impossible for others to know what Zheng Luxi had done. But the rumors were very convincing. Now, the image he had built up over the years was collapsing bit by bit.
Lin Mengya believed that when you pull out a radish, you will always bring mud.
Before long, without her sending people to draw out the truth, countless truths that had been covered up would be torn apart.
Don't underestimate the power of the people. Sometimes, the truth was often among the people.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Zheng family gradually became tense.
Zheng Luxi had broken everything in the room. In a rage, he even crippled a few servants.
On the other hand, according to the plan made by Lin Mengya, Zheng Rongrong rushed to admit her mistake after the eldest master of the Zheng family came back that night.
The butler was by the side the whole time. Naturally, he told the eldest master of the Zheng family the "truth" of the matter in full detail.
Looking at his weeping daughter and then thinking about that annoying thing, even if Old Master Zheng wasn't a biased person, he should be biased towards his daughter now.
"Your move is really useful. I've never won against that side in my entire life."
Sitting in the courtyard, Zheng Rongrong pouted at Zheng Luxi.
This girl was different now. It had only been a few days, but her complexion was better and she looked more spirited.
Lin Mengya put away the silver needles. Now they were not afraid of alerting the enemy.
Right now, the second branch couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they care about people like Doctor Sun?
"That's because you were stupid in the past. There's nothing wrong with tolerating it, but you have to tolerate it openly. Your father has always felt guilty towards you. If he knew that you suffered so much but still endured it for the sake of the family, he would naturally feel more sorry for you. "
To put it bluntly, Zheng Rongrong used to be a vegetarian bun.
He silently swallowed the bitterness. Fortunately, he had been given everything.
Time, how could there be such a cheap thing?
"But …" Zheng Rongrong lowered her eyes and looked at her slender fingers.
"In my father's heart, the family is still more important. This time, I can defeat Zheng Luxi, but what about the others? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyelids and looked at her, then quickly packed up the things in her hands.
"Then you have to let him know that only you can lead your family to glory. As the saying goes, it's best to attack the heart. Since you know that, just work hard to do it. "
She wasn't ready to say everything out loud.
She could help Zheng Rongrong for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Unless she had the intention to include the Zheng family's fief into the Gong family's territory.
Of course, it was not impossible. This world was a survival of the fittest.
Perhaps there would be someone behind her who could unify the whole Wei country with his own strength.
But it was not her, and it would not be now.
"Yes, Master!"
Zheng Rongrong smiled like a flower, and could still joke with her.
At this moment, the butler rushed in from outside and said to Zheng Rongrong, "Miss, Old Master has an urgent matter and wants you to go over."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Apart from spending time with her own people in private, Zheng Rongrong was always worried and submissive.
In the evening, Lin Mengya received the news sent by her messenger.
"It seems that Old Master Zheng really wants to change the successor."
Looking at the note, Lin Mengya raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
This was all expected. At least from the looks of it now, the Zheng Family could only send out Zheng Rongrong.
Long Tianhao took the note and saw that Old Master Zheng was going to attend the annual meeting of the aristocratic families with his daughter.
Unlike the Gong family, the Zheng family's fief could not be controlled by one family.
In this place, apart from the Zheng family, there were many other aristocratic families of different sizes.
However, they were generally not as powerful as the Zheng family, so on the surface, they all followed the Zheng family's orders.
And the Zheng family controlled all the economic lifelines in the fief, such as taxes, salt, iron, and trade.
With interests, there would naturally be disputes.
The reason why Old Master Zheng let Zheng Luxi take over the position of the head of the family was that he hoped to unite with the Gong family to suppress those aristocratic families that could threaten them.
From this point of view, Old Master Zheng was also forced to do so.
After all, Zheng Rongrong was a girl, and she was a weak and incapable girl.
If the Zheng family was handed over to her, it would undoubtedly fall into the hands of others sooner or later.
But now, Zheng Luxi's conduct was really not suitable for the next head of the family. In desperation, he could only choose his daughter.
"Oh, do you want to go?"
For a "big family" like Long Tianhao, the so-called "aristocratic family meeting" in the Zheng family's fief was almost like a child playing house.
Lin Mengya tilted her head and poked her husband's face.
"Just take it as a trip. By the way, great-grandfather and others should have arrived, right?"
Long Tianhao's expression softened a little when mentioning his family.
"Yes, they are about to arrive at the Bai family. Moyan and Ning 'er miss you very much. Those two little things are very clever. "
"I miss the children very much too."
Thinking of the two precious eggs, she smiled with her eyes and eyebrows curved.
The relationship between the four of them was very pure. Whether it was she or Yu, they would not sacrifice the precious family for interests.
She had already thought it through. In the future, she and Yu would not interfere with the development of the children.
As long as the children had a bottom line and their values were not broken, they could do whatever they wanted.
"I miss them a little bit."
She automatically got into Long Tianhao's arms and said in a low voice.
The latter hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"You will see them soon."
"Yes."
She had a hunch that the matter of the Zheng family would soon be solved.
Because some people had begun to eagerly seek death.
"What? Eldest Uncle actually wants to take her there? No, I don't agree! "
In the Taoist temple outside the city, Zheng Luxi's eyes were red with anger.
He could not wait to rush to the Zheng family now and strangle that bitch.
Second Old Master Zheng's face was also gloomy. He had long been indifferent to the past.
"You shut your mouth! If it weren't for you who lost your cool and took the initiative to give them something to use against us, would we still be so passive? "
Looking at his son, Second Old Master Zheng could not help but be disappointed.
The plan that he had been planning for so long was completely disrupted because of this unfilial son, and it might even be overturned. How could he not be angry?
"Hmph! That matter was not all my idea. Didn't you say that this was a good opportunity to get the thing while Xu Liang was making trouble in the Zhao family? Now that something has happened, you are pushing the blame to me? My good father, weren't you the one who planned all of this? "
"Are you blaming me now?"
Second Old Master Xu shouted coldly. Zheng Luxi, who had lost his mind in anger, forcefully suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"I have told you long ago that you must be decisive in doing things, and not leave any evidence for yourself. But you, in order to covet that little bit of money, set up checkpoints everywhere on the trade route. If you had taken the thing, it would have been good to kill all those people. But you let them all go. In this way, how could the Gong family not know about this? Do you know that the Gong family is far from what it used to be? "
Gong family! It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
Zheng Luxi had always been fanatical and greedy towards the Gong family that was as rich as a country.
As long as the time was right, he could marry the only head of the Gong family with the marriage contract.
At that time, whether it was reputation, wealth, or status, he would be able to obtain them all.
He absolutely could not let anyone ruin his great plan!
"Father, are you saying that the Gong family is behind this?"
"Don't forget when all of these things started."
With his reminder, Zheng Luxi suddenly remembered something.
It was probably from the moment those people he had lured were eliminated one by one, things started to gradually get out of their control.
However, if it was really the Gong family who did it, then wouldn't his plan be ruined?
"Could it be that the Gong family knows that I am deliberately targeting them? That's impossible. If they knew, they definitely wouldn't have dragged it out until now. Moreover, the date of the marriage is approaching. If they know that I am the one behind this, I'm afraid they won't let it go so easily! "
At this moment, Zheng Luxi realized the seriousness of the problem.
Back then, he came up with this idea to amass wealth because he thought that everything in the Gong family would belong to him in the future.
It was nothing for him to take some of it away now.
After all, when he became the head of the Gong family in the future, he would also have to set up checkpoints.
However, if the Gong family found out in advance, and when the date of the marriage was approaching …
In the next moment, Zheng Luxi's expression became extremely ugly.
Second Old Master Zheng looked at his own son disdainfully, thinking that he was really stupid.
Fortunately, he did not put all his hopes on this idiot.
