Lin Mengya pulled Zheng Rongrong over with a smile. She didn't hide her importance to her in front of everyone.
"Miss Zheng is such an intelligent girl, so everyone naturally likes her. In the future, you can come to me if there's anything you're not used to in the academy. "
As for Zheng Rongrong herself, she had a flattered look on her face.
Her big eyes were watery, and the joy in them was definitely not a lie.
Looking at his daughter's overjoyed look, Old Master Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I have arranged a place for you to stay in advance, please do me the honor, Mr. Su."
With his daughter's relationship, Zheng Congen's invitation was much more confident.
Lin Mengya also wanted to figure out the reason why Old Master Zheng did this, so she nodded and excused herself to the master of the Chen family before leaving with them.
Lin Mengya didn't care how many envious eyes were behind her. Anyway, she didn't come here to pretend to be courteous.
When they arrived at an inn that had been booked in advance, Old Master Zheng personally sent them to the best room.
"The conditions here are limited. I don't know if Mr. Su can get used to it."
After a rough glance, it was actually not bad.
Moreover, she was not here for sightseeing this time.
Lin Mengya sat calmly on the chair and looked at Old Master Zheng with a faint smile.
"I like people who get straight to the point. Patriarch Zheng, why did you go through so much trouble to invite me here?"
Obviously, the person in front of him was only a 20-year-old girl, but Zheng Congen's heart had been on tenterhooks since the beginning.
He had been in charge of the Zheng family for many years, so he knew too well about the intrigue within a big family.
Moreover, it was a family like the Gong family.
Zheng Congen smiled bitterly and looked a little dispirited.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Su had already seen through it. Indeed, I invited you here this time because I have something important to ask of you. Mr. Su, please help me this time for the sake of the past relationship between our two families. "
Lin Mengya didn't answer immediately.
She was considering, and also waiting for Zheng Congen to reveal his intentions.
The atmosphere was a little silent. Xiu, who was standing by the side, gently held Zheng Rongrong's shoulder.
"When you go to the academy in the future, I can show you around. Now that I'm here, shouldn't Miss Zheng take me out to have some fun? "
Zheng Rongrong was a little worried, but she understood that there were some things that she could not meddle in.
He had no choice but to follow Xiu out of the room.
When there were only the two of them left in the room, Zheng Congen sighed faintly.
"I wonder if Mr. Su has heard of the agreement between the Zheng family and the Gong family?"
As expected, it was because of this matter.
Lin Mengya continued to maintain her composure. Zheng Congen hesitated for a long time before he spoke cautiously.
"Originally, this matter was just a joke between the ancestors of the two families. It was only because the ancestor of the Zheng Clan had preserved an item for the ancestor of the Gong Clan that this agreement was made. Now, it was time to return it to its rightful owner. I don't expect the Gong Clan to fulfill their promise. I only hope that the Gong Clan can help us when necessary, on account of the fact that the Zheng Clan keeps our promise. "
Lin Mengya couldn't help but think highly of Old Master Zheng.
Originally, she thought that the reason why Zheng Congen was willing to let his daughter be wronged and let Zheng Luxi inherit the position of the head of the family was that he coveted the power of the Gong Clan.
But now, she changed her mind.
In the face of great interests, it was extremely rare for Old Master Zheng to keep his heart and not think about the great wealth.
Such a person was indeed worthy of being friends with.
"What are you talking about, Master Zheng? Our two families are close neighbors. My master often talks about the help that the Zheng Clan gave us when we were in trouble. My master will definitely agree to any request you have. "
"Originally, the ancestors of the two families had decided on a marriage. To tell the truth, even the marriage certificate had been written. Now, I've brought the marriage certificate and returned it to the Gong Clan. I only ask for the safety of the Zheng Clan. "
It seemed that Zheng Congen was determined to break off the engagement.
Solemnly, he took out an object wrapped in red cloth from his arms.
After peeling off the slightly old red cloth layer by layer, what was revealed was the bronze mirror that he had seen in the Zhao Clan.
"This is …"
"This is what the ancestors of the Gong Clan asked the ancestors of the Zheng Clan to keep."
Zheng Congen held the bronze mirror in his hand, feeling a little complicated.
For so many years, since the day he became the head of the family, this thing had become a steel knife hanging over his head.
The previous heads of the Zheng Clan had been waiting for this day to come.
However, they only saw the wealth and power of the Gong Clan, but failed to see the hidden danger behind this power.
With the status of the Zheng Clan now, they could no longer withstand such torment.
It was like an old patient who was given strong medicine. It was not luck, but a disaster!
Zheng Congen calmed down a little, held the red cloth carefully, and put the thing on the table.
Then, he pressed the bottom of the handle, which was inlaid with a ruby.
With a crisp "crack", the handle and the oval mirror broke into two.
Lin Mengya stared at his movements curiously. She saw him take out a small straight tube from the handle.
"This is the marriage certificate. Please verify it, Mr. Su."
Lin Mengya took it gently.
The material of the marriage certificate was not ordinary paper. Although it had been through many years, it was still very tough in her hand.
She slowly opened it, and a line of clear words appeared in front of her eyes.
It was written clearly that she was a member of her generation, and she wanted to unite with the Zheng Clan by marriage in exchange for the mirror.
She looked at the marriage certificate, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Before this, everyone told her that the ancestors of the Gong Clan were intelligent people with supreme wisdom.
But when she saw the marriage contract, she realized that almost everything in the future had been planned by her ancestors without any loopholes.
She was like a small ball, and according to the established track, she activated the mechanisms that had been set up long ago.
Although this kind of feeling was a little awkward like being a marionette, there was also a kind of respect that arose spontaneously in his heart.
After all, they wanted the future generations to escape from the distorted fate, not just for themselves.
She solemnly put away the marriage certificate, stood up, and bowed deeply to Zheng Congen.
"The people of the Zheng Clan really live up to the expectations of the ancestors. Master Zheng, please rest assured that from now on, the Gong Clan and the Zheng Clan will be one. "
Zheng Congen finally let out a sigh of relief.
He knew that for the current Gong Clan, instead of using the marriage certificate to threaten them, it would be more convenient to exchange for more benefits.
He smiled and pointed to the bronze mirror.
"From now on, the mirror will be returned to its original owner. My daughter still needs to be taken care of, Mr. Su."
"Of course. But the marriage certificate says that if the next head of the family is a woman, she will marry the man of the Gong Clan. But if she is a man, she can marry the head of the Gong Clan. I wonder what the Zheng Clan is planning. "
At the mention of this, Zheng Congen suddenly lost his smile.
Lin Mengya did not rush him, but waited quietly for Old Master Zheng's answer.
"I am also pedantic. Letting a woman be the leader is never the reason for the destruction of a family. What do you think of Rongrong? "
Lin Mengya was a little surprised.
To be honest, until now, she did not think that Old Master Zheng would really pass the position of the head of the family to Zheng Rongrong.
But now, she was not so sure.
"Although Miss Zheng looks a little weak, if she is trained carefully, she may be able to take on a big role."
She pondered for a long time before saying these words.
In fact, it was nothing more than telling Zheng Congen that if he wanted Zheng Rongrong to be the head of the family, then she could help him.
Zheng Congen did not directly answer her, nor did he continue to talk about this issue.
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Zheng Congen left with a heavy heart.
Lin Mengya was not in a hurry to take out the bronze mirror to study it. Instead, she calmly received many people who wanted to curry favor with her. Then she asked someone to guard the door and took out the bronze mirror to look at it repeatedly.
"What's the difference between this one and the previous one?"
It was no surprise that someone suddenly appeared in the room.
Lin Mengya waved at Long Tianhao, who immediately sat down beside her.
"Look, the handle of this bronze mirror doesn't match the surface of the mirror."
Long Tianhao also looked at it, and even took it over and carefully rubbed it with his thumb for a while.
"Indeed, the materials of these two objects are not exactly the same."
"Oh?"
Lin Mengya did not notice this.
The reason why she made such a guess was that she saw some subtle differences between the patterns of the handle and the surface of the mirror.
But Long Tianhao was much more knowledgeable, and naturally had better eyesight than her.
"This handle, compared to this mirror, takes a lot more time to make. Moreover, they are made with different techniques. "
About this, Long Tianhao could almost be sure.
Lin Mengya touched her chin. If it was just a bronze mirror, the ancestors of the Gong family did not need to make such a big promise to the ancestors of the Zheng family to keep it.
She looked at the handle and the surface of the mirror, and somehow felt that she seemed to have overlooked something.
Moreover, an old handle was inlaid with a new bronze mirror.
The patterns on the handle were also not very beautiful and rare, so it was unnecessary to make such a move.
Unless, the real hidden thing was this handle!
She picked it up again and looked inside and outside.
She put her finger into it, and when she was about to touch it to see if there was anything inside, she suddenly felt that the middle part of the handle was a little uneven.
"It seems that there are words carved inside!"
She exclaimed, and Long Tianhao also stared at the handle.
But the inside of the handle was dark, and she could not feel it no matter how hard she touched it.
Long Tianhao saw that she was in a dilemma, and seemed to think of something, so he hurriedly left.
After a while, he came back with a small bowl.
Lin Mengya looked inside, and it turned out to be a lump of kneaded dough.
