She watched Long Tianhao carefully put the dough in, and then put it on the fire to bake for a while.
The smell of wheat when the dough was drying made her feel a little hungry.
Fortunately, the torture soon ended, and Long Tianhao carefully pulled out the half-dry dough.
Lin Mengya looked at the marks on the dough, and her brain was working fast.
Because just now, Xiao Yao found that the symbols on it might be the kind of symbols that the system could decode.
It was also the first time that Long Tianhao saw such a thing. He frowned and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't figure it out.
Because the marks were not like handwriting or painting, but some kind of pattern.
"Is it a painting or a clan pattern?"
Long Tianhao was not sure, and Lin Mengya didn't have a specific result.
"This should only be a part of it. The decoding function in my system shows that it may be some kind of words, but not all of them."
She explained in a low voice. Hearing this, Long Tianhao became more cautious.
After kneading the dough into a ball, he put the mirror back in place.
"In this case, you'd better keep it. When we go back, I'll ask someone to make an identical handle for you. "
This man was always more careful about her matters than anyone else.
Lin Mengya put away the bronze mirror properly. She got a lot of useful information today.
At least the marriage contract, which might cause a dispute, was now back in her hands.
Although she didn't know how many traps her ancestors had dug for her, at least it was more daunting than dangerous.
The two of them slept together, and Long Tianhao would always hold her in his arms as a protector.
The night was dark, and the world seemed to be quiet.
But not long after, Long Tianhao noticed that the rubble on the roof was being stepped on.
He suddenly opened his eyes and got up quietly, which startled her in his arms.
"I'll go out and have a look."
He mouthed to her, and Lin Mengya immediately woke up from her daze.
She obediently curled up in the blanket and watched him leave.
She released the detection function and found four people hiding on the roof.
With Yu around, she didn't worry that they were coming for her.
However, these four people were heading towards the southeast corner of the inn.
It seemed that the people living there were from the Zheng family.
After the people on the roof left, she quietly got up and put on her clothes.
Yu must have sensed their movements. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to check the situation.
She waited for a moment, but Yu did not show himself.
Instead, it agitated the guards of the Zheng Clan in advance. After a period of chaos, the group of invaders left without any hesitation.
This back and forth caused the people in the inn to be thrown off their feet.
But on their side, no one was missing.
She didn't think that the group of people just came to take a look and left.
After a while, Long Tianhao returned to the room with a cold face.
"Zheng Congen is missing."
"What?"
"That group of people should have come for Zheng Rongrong, but I just went in to check, and Zheng Congen wasn't in the inn at all. My men didn't see him return either. "
Because of Zheng Congen's special identity, he must have guards accompanying him. Therefore, she and Long Tianhao did not send anyone to protect him.
However, it was precisely because of this that those people were able to take advantage of the situation.
"Sister Su, my father, he …"
Outside the door, Zheng Rongrong's eyes were red from crying, and she suddenly rushed in.
Back in the fief, the girl who could endure all kinds of pain and suffering was now crying her eyes out after learning that her father might be in danger.
Lin Mengya patted her back gently, took out a dry and soft cloth, and gently wiped her tears.
"Don't be afraid, your father will be fine. Xiu, call our men and look for him together with the Zheng Clan. Also, don't alarm others. "
At this time, if people knew that Master Zheng's whereabouts were unknown, Zheng Rongrong would be in a much more dangerous situation.
Those aristocratic families were coveting the power of the Zheng Clan.
If they got the chance, they would inevitably have evil thoughts.
Although the Zheng Clan was anxious, fortunately, they had Zheng Rongrong as their backbone, and with the help of the Gong Clan, they did not panic too much.
Until dawn, their men still found nothing.
Zheng Rongrong had fainted from crying once, and Lin Mengya was also frowning.
This was not the way to go on, because they did not know what the other party's intention was.
According to the recollection of the secret guards around the inn last night, Master Zheng took the initiative to leave.
He only took his trusted butler with him.
As for where he went and who he met, there was no news at all.
On the bed, Zheng Rongrong was about to wake up and looked at her with a hopeful face.
"Is my father back?"
Although it was cruel, Lin Mengya could not lie to her.
"Not for the time being. Maybe, there will be news in a while."
In an instant, hope was drawn away from her watery eyes.
Zheng Rongrong lowered her head and bit her lower lip with her teeth.
"Maybe, maybe if I didn't come with my father, maybe if I listened to them, my father would not have disappeared."
Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she only felt a burning pain in her eye sockets.
Lin Mengya could not comfort her more.
The missing person was Zheng Rongrong's family, and only she could understand the feeling.
It was impossible for her to walk out of the dead end even if someone else tried to comfort her.
Lin Mengya walked over and firmly held Zheng Rongrong's slightly cold hand.
"We will look for him with you. Now, don't give up in a hurry, okay?"
The woman's gentle words seemed to be the only life-saving straw that Zheng Rongrong could hold on to.
She looked up anxiously, like a frightened deer.
Lin Mengya held her in her arms and gently patted her on the shoulder.
Outside the door, Long Tianhao, who had been looking for them all night, received a letter.
To be exact, it was a blackmail letter.
"I have news."
As soon as he stepped into the room, Zheng Rongrong rushed up to him.
"Is there news of my father? Where is he? When will he come back? "
Long Tianhao did not answer her, but put his heart on the table.
At a glance, Lin Mengya saw the darkness hidden in Yu's eyes.
"How, how could they do this! For the position of the master of the family, do they not care about the family at all? "
After reading the letter, Zheng Rongrong was so angry that she trembled.
Seeing that something was wrong, Lin Mengya immediately stepped forward and took the letter.
She only saw a few short lines of words on the thin piece of paper.
"If you want Zheng Congen to live, bring the Zheng family's secret treasure to the Three Miles Pavilion outside the city tonight. Otherwise, wait to collect his corpse!"
The Zheng family's secret treasure? Was it referring to the marriage certificate between the Zheng family and the Gong family?
In an instant, she understood.
In that situation last night, only an acquaintance could have asked Zheng Congen to leave.
And because he had returned the marriage certificate and the bronze mirror to her, he probably felt relieved.
But he did not want to anger the person who really cared about these things.
"What should I do? The secret treasure, even I don't know where the Zheng family's secret treasure is. How can I save my father? "
Zheng Rongrong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Fortunately, Lin Mengya was still rational.
"Don't panic. Let me ask you, did your father tell you anything when he left last night?"
"Before my father left, he seemed to have told me that from now on, he would never let me suffer any more grievances. It must be Zheng Luxi. Other than him, no one would care about the Zheng family's secret treasure. "
She knew the cause and effect, so it was not difficult for her to guess that it was done by the second branch of the Zheng family.
But Zheng Rongrong knew that she was kept in the dark. How did she guess it?
"Because only the one who gets the Zheng family's secret treasure can be the real master of the Zheng family. All these years, although my father has cultivated him as his successor, he has never given him the secret treasure. So, he must be angry out of humiliation! "
No wonder Zheng Luxi did not dare to fall out with Old Master Zheng even though he was so bold and arrogant.
Seeing that the girl was so anxious that she was crying, Lin Mengya thought of a plan.
"Yu, come out with me."
In the inn booked by the Zheng Family, after bustling for an entire day, it suddenly quieted down.
This made the other aristocratic families, who had been watching from the outside, confused.
They wanted to find out, but the Zheng family was very tight-lipped.
The people from the Gong family also followed them like shadows, so they could not find any chance.
Just when they were feeling anxious, they suddenly heard that someone from the Zheng family went to the Chen family to tell them that Old Master Zheng had caught a cold because he was in a hurry and would not see guests for a few days.
The master of the Chen family was also full of doubts, so he could only send someone to visit him.
Separated by a door, the person only said a few words to Old Master Zheng before he was sent out.
However, it also proved that Old Master Zheng was indeed sick.
When the news came out, those who had evil thoughts had to temporarily suppress them.
Moreover, Mr. Su of the Gong family was not someone to be trifled with, so these people did not keep a close eye on the Zheng family like leeches.
"Is it really okay to do this? Why don't I go by myself? "
In Zheng Rongrong's room, she looked anxiously at Lin Mengya, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and wearing her own clothes.
She did not know what method the latter used, but in just a day, not only did she disguise herself as her, but she could also imitate her voice vividly. Even when the Chen family came, she could pass off Elder Sister Su's voice as the real one, and no one would be able to hear any flaws in her voice.
If not for the fact that she had something on her mind, she would definitely pester Lin Mengya to learn these lewd tricks.
Lin Mengya adjusted her face slightly.
Time was tight this time, so she could not make the exact same mask bit by bit.
Fortunately, she had acupuncture skills, so she could temporarily change the direction of the muscles on her face.
However, she could not use it often, or her beautiful face would be ruined if her muscles were damaged.
"Since I want to go on your behalf, I naturally have my reasons. Listen to me, after I go out later, hide in the room obediently, and come out only when I come back."
