She had been resentful and hateful, and now she could not stop feeling sad.
But she knew that since some things had already happened, even if she indulged in the sadness of the past, it would not help.
It was better to put these things aside first, at least not to delay other things and cause more damage.
"Sister Su is looking for you."
At this moment, Old Master Zheng noticed Su Mei standing beside him.
He smiled helplessly at her and stepped aside.
"Please come in, Mr. Su."
The disappearance of his son was a heavy blow to Old Master Zheng.
In fact, until now, he still found it hard to believe.
He had clearly hidden the child well. How could he have been unknowingly replaced by someone else without even knowing it?
He blamed himself, but more than that, he was worried about his son.
Lin Mengya did not want to beat around the bush with the exhausted father and daughter, so she chose to go straight to the point.
"If Old Master Zheng trusts me, maybe I can help you find your child."
The father and daughter did not expect her to say this.
Especially Old Master Zheng, his eyes widened in an instant, and he looked extremely excited.
"Is what Mr. Su said true?"
"I'm not 100% sure, but it's better than doing nothing."
Now, the only thing she was sure of was that the young master of the first branch of the Zheng family was definitely the key to immortality.
Although she still didn't know what method he used to achieve immortality, there was one thing that she understood.
The so-called Art of Immortality was to transplant one's own consciousness or memory into another's brain, so as to achieve the goal of a new life.
But in this way, there was a very big flaw.
To replace the other person, the original consciousness of the body had to be erased.
From the previous failed products, in the end, it failed because the two consciousnesses could not coexist, or the original consciousness could not be completely erased.
Based on the results that she had come into contact with so far, she did not think that such an absurd method could succeed.
In fact, she always felt that there seemed to be some other problems in it.
But at present, she had too little information. Even if the system was heaven-defying, it could not do anything.
And the most troublesome thing was that she had to avoid direct contact with the people of Immortal City.
Therefore, she could only try to start from other aspects.
"If you can save my son, I, Zheng, will agree to any condition!"
In Zheng Congen's heart, nothing was more important than a pair of children.
He had already been wrong so many times. He could not afford to be wrong again.
"My condition is very simple. At the same time, this is also a way to save your son."
"What?"
Lin Mengya looked at Old Master Zheng solemnly and said word by word, "Let Zheng Rongrong inherit the position of the head of the family."
In an instant, the two of them were stunned.
Obviously, none of them had expected that she would make such a request at this time.
But this time, Old Master Zheng did not object directly. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
"This matter is too important. I can't make a decision right now. How about …"
"If you still want your son to inherit this position, then I can only say that you should give up. Even if you find your son, he won't be the same anymore. "
The other party's goal was obvious. He wanted to use the body of the Zheng family's young master to inherit the Zheng family.
No matter what happened now, as long as Zheng Congen still had this idea, the other party would definitely succeed.
Unless the position of the head of the family was taken away, the other party would be forced to reveal himself.
And the young master of the Zheng family would be temporarily safe.
"What do you mean, Mr. Su?"
"Someone swapped your son because he wanted to use this child to completely control the Zheng Family. So even if your son comes back, the Zheng family will fall into someone else's hands. Why don't you cut off this possibility from the root? Then, you can save your son. "
She guessed that if the other party wanted to rely on this child to inherit the position of the family, then he must make sure that nothing would go wrong before he took action.
Otherwise, what could he do even if he swapped his body? In the end, it would all be in vain.
But if Zheng Rongrong inherited the position of the head of the family, then the other party would at least think about how to pull her down from the position.
Because even if he swapped his body now, without Old Master Zheng's support, all his efforts would be in vain.
"This … I …"
Seeing that Old Master Zheng was still hesitating, Lin Mengya was a little impatient.
"It's up to you whether you want to or not. But you have to know that Zheng Rongrong is different from you. She has no way out. Even if her brother inherits the position of the head of the family, I'm afraid that he can't protect her. Do you want to completely sacrifice this daughter, or do you want to protect the possibility of the siblings? It's your choice. "
She got up and was about to leave.
No matter what, she had to hand the Zheng family to Zheng Rongrong.
Otherwise, all the things she had done before would be in vain.
But before she walked out, Old Master Zheng said hurriedly, "Okay, I promise you, I'll let Rongrong inherit the position of the head of the family!"
She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and sneered at the man.
"What I mean is to let her become the real head of the Zheng family, not a puppet that can be replaced at any time. Do you understand what I mean, Old Master Zheng? "
Old Master Zheng, who had been seen through again, looked a little depressed and uneasy.
But when he saw the disappointment and sadness in his daughter's eyes, he was shocked.
What on earth had he done all these years?
For the sake of the family, reputation, and status, he had even hurt the people closest to him.
And all this was just for the position of the head of the family.
"I know, this position should have been Rongrong's. I made these mistakes because I was muddle-headed. So this is the punishment given to me by God. "
Although his words sounded dejected, there was a vague sense of relief.
Lin Mengya also knew that Old Master Zheng had really thought it through this time.
She turned around and sat back, and the smile on her face became more sincere.
"Since this is the case, we still have to make some plans. But the Gong family will do our best to support Miss Rongrong. I can guarantee this. "
Zheng Congen smiled helplessly.
He had to admit that Su Mei, as an outsider, had a clearer view of these things than he did.
Unfortunately, he was the frog at the bottom of the well, who had been bitterly clinging to some broken old rules.
Now that he had thought it through, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for this as soon as possible."
Lin Mengya felt more at ease with his promise.
Then, she thought of something.
"I heard that the Second Old Master came today?"
She seemed to mention it casually, and Old Master Zheng did not hide it from her.
"Yes, he heard that Zheng Luxi had done something wrong, so he wanted to plead for mercy. I just said that I didn't see him, and sent him back. "
"That's it?"
She was a little surprised. Was she really wrong?
"Yes, although that child is disloyal and unfilial, he is the only adult in the second branch. Of course, they will miss him."
"Isn't he the only one in the second branch?"
"Now he is the only one. I don't know what happened at that time, but none of his younger brothers and sisters survived. It is also because of this that my second brother's heart is dead. "
Something flashed through her mind, but she did not catch it.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, saying that it was Zheng Rongrong's order to bring dinner for Old Master Zheng.
But Lin Mengya was slightly stunned.
She quietly watched the waiter put out the food one by one. It was just a small clay pot of rice porridge and a few side dishes.
Seeing his daughter being so considerate, Old Master Zheng could not help but feel sad.
He had wronged his daughter all these years.
By right, Lin Mengya should have stood up and left, but she still sat at the table.
After the waiter left, she picked up the spoon beside her.
"Sister Su, you are …"
Zheng Rongrong was a little surprised. After all, this behavior was very impolite.
"There is something wrong with the porridge. Pour some into the vase over there."
Now, the father and daughter were obedient to her.
After looking at each other, Zheng Rongrong immediately did as she said.
And Old Master Zheng also understood what she meant.
But this porridge was prepared by Zheng Rongrong.
Could it be …
Suddenly, his face became a little pale.
"Rongrong, do you know that the porridge is poisoned?"
She suddenly asked. Zheng Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and then she was confused.
"Impossible! How could the porridge be poisoned? "
Seeing that Zheng Rongrong did not look guilty at all, and her body was clean, without any reaction of poison, Lin Mengya believed that she was not the culprit.
Then, Zheng Rongrong pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and put it into the porridge, but there was no reaction.
She could not help but look at Su Mei with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Not all poisons can be tested with silver. This poison is very powerful. Once taken, there is no cure, and there is no time to leave a last word. "
But it was not enough for her to see.
Hearing this, the father and daughter of the Zheng family both revealed horrified expressions.
If Su Mei was not here at this moment, they would be …
Immediately, Old Master Zheng felt very lucky that he had made a wise choice. Not only did he protect his family and children, but he also let himself escape.
"Then, then who did this? Could it be that the masters of those aristocratic families want to hurt my father? "
Zheng Rongrong was angry, but Lin Mengya shook her head.
"If they did that, it would be a slap on my face. After what happened to Jiang De, who would dare to do that? "
"Then who could it be?"
Lin Mengya looked at Old Master Zheng, who was thinking about something, and asked with a smile, "Who do you think it could be, Old Master Zheng?"
Zheng Rongrong also looked at her father, who was silent for a long time, and then let out a sigh.
