He didn't sound guilty at all.
Even the Patriarchs of the other aristocratic families revealed looks of dissatisfaction.
Obviously, they felt that she was too meddlesome.
However, Lin Mengya glanced at him unhurriedly and then looked away.
"Speaking of which, although the Chaoyun Brocade is expensive, it can be bought at the price of a thousand taels of gold. But the pattern of the Chaoyun Brocade on Patriarch Jiang's clothes is not recognized by ordinary people. Since Patriarch Jiang is wearing it, you must know the meaning of it, right? "
Hearing her words, the crowd noticed that the pattern on Jiang De's clothes was indeed uncommon.
They could barely see the pattern of auspicious clouds on the cuffs and collar, but few of the people present could recognize the pattern on the lapel.
On the other hand, an inconspicuous little family head sitting in the corner stared at it carefully for a long time before his expression changed slightly.
He seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought, which attracted the attention of the people around him.
"What's the matter, Brother Hong? Do you see any clues?"
The family head next to him was an impatient person. When he saw them, he anxiously shouted out.
At this time, Patriarch Hong's face turned red and he regretted it too much.
The Hong Family was a small aristocratic family, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Just when he was trying to find a way to avoid it, he heard Jiang De questioning him with displeasure, "Why are you hesitating? Just say it, don't be so wishy-washy! "
Lin Mengya also turned to look at the person who spoke.
Unlike Jiang De, she wasn't bossy and bossy. Instead, she revealed a kind smile.
"Whatever you think of, just say it. I'm sure everyone here would like to hear your opinion. "
Patriarch Hong was like an arrow on the bowstring. He gritted his teeth and stood up, trembling with fear.
"The pattern on the cuffs and collar of Patriarch Jiang is the pattern of auspicious clouds, but the pattern on his clothes is the pattern of a lotus seat."
The Hong Clan Head's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear him clearly.
Those who were quick-witted also understood in an instant.
The pattern of auspicious clouds and lotus seat was the pattern of the shroud prepared by the elderly in many aristocratic families.
Jiang De obviously realized it too, and he subconsciously looked down.
When he first saw this design, he and the people around him all felt that the cloth was incomparably gorgeous, and the design was also dignified and grand.
But if this pattern was really for shrouds, then the tailors in his mansion would not dare to measure for him.
"Humph! You're just a lowly aristocratic family, yet you dare to come here and spout nonsense. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "
Jiang De's disdainful tone instantly caused the Hong Clan Head to be ridiculed.
That person also lowered his hands, but his hands were tightly clenched, revealing some grievance and unwillingness.
Lin Mengya looked coldly at those people who had tried to curry favor with her before, but immediately changed their target when they saw that there was no profit to be made.
"The head of the Hong Family has excellent eyesight. That's right, this pattern is indeed a lotus seat. However, it's not an ordinary lotus seat. I designed it myself and the Fourth Young Master personally drew it. It's a birthday gift to the Old Ancestor. "
As soon as these words came out, the entire room was silent.
The older the people in Weiguo were, the more they had the custom of preparing shrouds and coffins in advance.
This was not bad luck. On the contrary, the more diligent the future generations were in preparation, the happier the old people would be, to show that their affairs before and after were very satisfactory.
Jiang De's expression changed a little quickly.
However, he still stiffened his body in an unnatural manner, forcing himself to maintain his dignity.
"Maybe there are such coincidences in the world, but it's just a trick. Maybe the cloth merchant saw that the pattern was exquisite, so he secretly imitated it and sold it. "
"If that's the case, the cloth merchant is really hateful."
She was clearly smiling, but everyone present seemed to feel an overbearing chill emanating from her body.
"It's a pity that the cloth merchant died. This batch of cloth should have been sent to the Gong Family at the beginning of last month, but until the end of last month, we didn't receive an inch of cloth. Oh yes, there's a hidden word 'Palace' on the lotus seat. If the cloth merchant really changed his mind, he wouldn't have dared to print the word 'Palace' on it openly, right? "
Each of her words were like gongs and drums, striking on everyone's hearts.
If they said anything to evade now, it would just be a slap on their faces.
Especially Jiang De, now he could not wait to take off this damn robe and throw it away. But in fact, from the first sentence he said, there were some things that he could not escape from.
Jiang De pursed his lips and stared at the woman in front of him with hatred.
"At the beginning of this month, the cloth merchant's family found the man's skeleton under a cliff. The man died miserably. He was stabbed several times and his bones were broken. He was also bitten by the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards in the mountains. He really died without a whole body. But if he took the things of the Gong Family and sold them, he would get what he deserved. But I'm curious, it's just a few bolts of Chaoyun Brocade. What kind of buyer was so cruel that he even killed people? "
The whole hall was very quiet, and the masters of the aristocratic families all shrank like quails.
Lin Mengya went along with them from the beginning to the end. Every head of an aristocratic family who had been "taken care of" by her eyes couldn't help but shiver.
"Even the caravan appointed by the Gong Family was like this, not to mention other caravans. This time, the master sent me here to ask for an explanation from all of you here. Although the Gong Family never bullies others, if anyone thinks that we are weak and can be bullied, then they are very wrong! "
"Crash!" She swept the teacup in her hand to the ground.
That voice instantly made the aristocratic families in the room tense up their lazy skins.
Only now did they realize that in this world where strength reigned supreme, even if they could summon the wind and summon the rain in their own little worlds, in front of a true colossus, they were like ants without the slightest ability to resist.
And they finally understood that the Gong Family was not here to visit, but to ask for repayment.
Master Chen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and groaned in his heart.
"Mr. Su, everything can be discussed. Why did you do this?"
"I'm sorry, Master Chen. I have a bad temper and broke your things. Here is a banknote of one thousand taels of silver as compensation. "
She casually threw out a huge sum of money. Her carefree manner was obviously more of a playboy than Jiang De.
And her meaning was very clear. She was not short of money, but she had to give face.
This also stopped some people from thinking of compensating with money.
No matter how rich they were, could they be richer than her?
"It's just a teacup. Mr. Su, you don't have to be so polite."
Even the Chen Family's Family Head, who had always been eloquent and resourceful, had no room in his words at all.
At this moment, the surrounding fence-sitters were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat.
They all lowered their heads, but in their hearts, they could not help but hate the ignorant master of the Jiang Family.
Now, the new clothes had really become the shroud.
"This matter, it's the fault of the people in my family. But ignorance is not a crime. I was also deceived. I believe that even if Old Master Gong was here, he would not pursue the matter. "
Jiang De's face was livid, and in a few words, he put all the blame on his servants.
"Of course, my clan's ancestor won't look into it. According to his seniority, even the Baili clan's clan head has to address him as ancestor. He doesn't have the time to deal with such a small matter."
Lin Mengya did not even raise her eyelids. She disgraced Jiang De with just a few words.
Don't think that you can do whatever you want among the aristocratic families just because you are connected to the Baili Family.
Even the old man of the Baili Family was defeated by her, wasn't he?
Being insulted by a woman over and over again, Jiang De was so angry that his veins were bulging.
"Then what are you going to do? I've already worn the clothes. Do you want me to pay for it with my life? Humph! The Gong Family is so extravagant that you killed people. I was just deceived. Mr. Su, don't you think you are being unreasonable? "
"You are the one who is twisting words and forcing logic!"
Now, even Zheng Rongrong could not sit still. She stared at him and retorted angrily.
"It was you who coveted the beauty of the Chaoyun Brocade, so you wanted to kill people and rob them!"
"Miss Zheng, please be careful with your words! If your father was here, he would not dare to talk to me like this. "
"You!"
Zheng Rongrong finally understood what it meant to be invincible when one was shameless.
She was not powerful enough, and Lin Mengya did not want her to argue anymore. She reached out and gently pulled her arm.
"According to the financial resources of your small aristocratic families, the life of the Gong Family can indeed be described as extravagant. But this is the matter of the Gong Family, and it is not up to you, an outsider, to make irresponsible remarks. Since you wore it, you are disrespecting the Ancestor of the Gong Family, and also disrespecting the Gong Family. Don't coax me by saying that you were deceived. The Gong Family has never been a reasonable place! "
It seemed that she was too gentle in the past.
These people had forgotten that the one with the biggest fist here was the one who had the absolute right.
Jiang De suddenly stood up, and his face was as dark as ink.
"In that case, I won't accompany you. Master Chen, you don't have to count me in the aristocratic family meeting in the future. Goodbye. "
"Stop, did I allow you to go?"
Before Master Chen could stop him, Lin Mengya flew into a rage.
Jiang De didn't pay any attention to him. He gathered his courage and rushed out. But before he could take a step, he felt that his knees were suddenly hit by something.
With a plop, he knelt on the ground in embarrassment.
Then, he gritted his teeth and turned to the woman behind him. She stood up gracefully and walked slowly to him.
"You want to run away after taking the things from my family? Why don't you ask the King of Hell if he allows you to take away his family's oil pan? "
"What, what do you want? Let me tell you, I am the in-law of the Baili Family … "
"In-law? Even the old man of the Baili Family trembles when he sees me. Who the hell are you? "
