Instantly, that person's face turned from white to red, and then to deathly pale, but he didn't dare to speak again.
They finally realized that the two people in front of them weren't like that refined Third Young Master of the Gong family.
"You're just using your power to bully others. What does that count for?"
Some people hid in the crowd and muttered in fear, but she couldn't pretend not to hear them.
She openly met those people's gazes, but her words weren't polite at all.
"If you want to talk about using your power to bully others, I'd like to ask for some advice from you. My Gong family only has a few people, and we live here as guests in a foreign land. Moreover, there are also elderly people here. But every time you come here to cause trouble, your words are fierce, and you disturb my family's old master. Don't tell me that you're not relying on your numbers? "
"We're here to demand justice! Your Gong clan has so humiliated us scholars and even forced Sir Xunyang to linger on his sickbed. If your Gong family still has the slightest conscience, you should apologize to Sir Xunyang in front of everyone, and not hide away and shirk responsibility! "
These people weren't the least bit vague when it came to changing the subject.
The person who had been rebuked by Lin Mengya also began to join in the commotion. It was obvious that he'd forgotten the pain now that the scar had healed.
Long Tianhao's gaze enveloped that group of people.
In an instant, those fellows who had been happily causing a ruckus just a moment ago all felt a little guilty.
It was as if their thoughts had been seen through by that tall man.
Lin Mengya naturally knew what it was like to be stared at by her own man.
"Just what happened? Were any of you present at the time?"
She didn't directly refute them, but instead followed along and asked questions.
The crowd was quiet for a while, and then two people walked out.
These two people were clearly gentle and weak scholars, but the anger on their faces was much more real than that of the others.
"We were present at the time. It was your family's Third Young Master who refused to repent and contradicted my family's teacher that caused this!"
"That's right! Teacher just wanted an explanation from the Gong family. I didn't expect that he would suffer such humiliation. Today, we definitely won't retreat because of anyone! "
Lin Mengya swept her gaze over them. With one glance, she could tell that they had studied too much to be used.
"Fine. Since you say that it was my Third Young Master who was disrespectful to your teacher, then I'll give it to you. Then I would like to ask you, what did your husband say at that time? "
The two scholars, who were less observant, immediately shouted out loud.
"Naturally, I'm talking about how the head of the Gong Family disregarded the dignity of a scholar and disrespected us. Moreover, he used all means to insult scholars. Shouldn't such a person owe us an apology? "
Heh, what a shameless fellow.
After hearing this, Lin Mengya's expression turned cold, and there was even a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"I've heard everything you've said. It was that Sir Xunyang of your clan who publicly criticized my clan head in front of my clan's third young master. And according to your logic, our Third Young Master should go along with them and curse at our Patriarch for that to be considered righteous? I didn't know that the book's morality, righteousness, and honor were actually like this. "
Just as those people were about to retort, she rebuked them.
"The two of you both say that you saw it with your own eyes, that it was my family's Third Young Master who angered your family's Sir Xunyang. Fine, let's just say that seeing is believing. But your family's Sir Xunyang, one, has never seen my Patriarch, and two, he has never seen my Patriarch's so-called evil deeds. Just based on a few rumors, he judged my Patriarch guilty. Moreover, my family only defended my Patriarch with a few words, yet they said that we were unrepentant and contradicted your Master. My Gong Family is truly unable to bear this accusation. If everyone feels that my Gong Family's conduct is biased, then why don't we invite the Venerable Saint and the Venerable Emperor to come up and judge for both sides? I'm not using my power to oppress others, but besides the Venerable Emperor and the Venerable Saint, no one else would be able to judge my Patriarch guilty. "
She didn't speak harshly, but every word, every sentence, pressed down on the hearts of these people.
The Bai Family treated them like honored guests, but it gave birth to these people's arrogance and conceit. They thought that everywhere in the world was their father and mother, that everyone had to respect them.
Little did they know that in the eyes of the heads of aristocratic families, they were nothing more than a flock of domesticated birds.
If the Bai Family and the Gong Family truly became enemies, did they think that the Bai Family would let them off?
A scholar should just study properly. Why did he have to learn from others and play tricks?
These words completely extinguished the fire in the crowd.
Even those two fellows who had spoken so eloquently just now were somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
In the past few days, they had been swayed by anger. Moreover, because the Gong Family had closed their doors every time, they felt that the Gong Family was in the wrong.
But now that they had been publicly ridiculed, they couldn't refute a single word, so they truly felt rather sullen.
Lin Mengya had also guessed what they were thinking, so she slightly eased her attitude.
"I know that all of you are here to seek justice for your teacher. Heaven, Earth, Monarch, and Master, those who understand human relations naturally have to protect them. You respect and love your teacher, while my Young Master protects his younger sister. What wrong is this? However, if this matter is blown up, it won't be a good thing for either side. Those who know will say that both sides have their reasons, while those who don't will only say that both sides have violated human relations and are unable to distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, Teacher Xunyang is still sick, so the most important thing to do right now is to treat Teacher's illness. At the very least, no one will say behind his back that you're using Teacher as an excuse to gain an undeserved reputation. "
She had used both the carrot and the stick, but she had clearly dealt with this group of people.
No matter how much malice these people harbored, if they continued to make a fuss, it would feel as if they were doing it on purpose.
This point was extremely disadvantageous to them.
Especially those two at the front. They had truly come to Teacher's aid to fight for justice.
Now that they had been spoken of in such a manner, their faces instantly flushed red.
"This, this is utter nonsense! When did we make a fuss for an undeserved reputation? Absurd, simply absurd! "
"I know what you two are feeling, but bystanders might not know. Why don't the two of you think about it carefully? The reason why Teacher Xunyang dared to criticize my clan head in front of so many people is presumably because he is a frank and candid person, an upright and upright person. If his esteemed self wants everyone to pressure him, he definitely won't let his emotions affect his old illness. Thus, I think that the two of you should think about it carefully. You mustn't go against Teacher's teachings. "
She deliberately put on a pained and hateful expression, tricking the bookworm in front of her into a daze.
These two people didn't seem very worldly or experienced. Presumably, after the incident, they were also the type that wholeheartedly wanted to settle accounts with them.
However, it was definitely someone else who could do such a shameless thing.
Moreover, she had deliberately said that Teacher Xunyang's old illness had relapsed, and those two people hadn't said anything to refute her.
It seemed that it was just as she had guessed. All of this had been deliberately instigated by someone in the dark.
"We're not the kind of people who fish for fame. Miss's words just now weren't without reason. But we were also anxious, so we acted in a moment of haste. "
The calmer and more reserved of the two people had already somewhat taken in her words.
Lin Mengya knew when to stop and then ordered Uncle Lian to bring out some of the valuable medicinal ingredients they had brought.
In front of everyone, she personally handed those things over to those two people.
"My family's Third Young Master has always conducted himself mildly, but this matter concerns the head of my family. I presume that the two of you understand that in a noble family like ours, the head of the family is even more important than the parents. Thus, it truly wasn't a big mistake for him to speak out in defense. As for the other matters, once Teacher Xunyang's health is a little better, we will naturally pay him a visit to explain. We definitely won't do it half-heartedly. My Gong family's head will definitely not tolerate this matter! "
Those two people originally didn't want to accept the gifts, but the gifts represented the Gong family's kind intentions.
Moreover, every word this Miss Su said was reasonable. Although her attitude was rather cold, she truly didn't put on any airs.
The main reason was that the eyes of the man standing behind her were too frightening. In just a few moments, they felt their scalps go numb and didn't dare to disobey.
Once those two people accepted the gifts, Lin Mengya calmly looked at the crowd.
"Today, I represent the Gong family and make a promise in front of everyone. My Gong family will definitely investigate this matter and return the truth to my family head and Teacher Xunyang. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Bai family to act on your behalf. I dare to guarantee that my Gong family's words carry enormous weight and are definitely not the kind of vile people who secretly harm others. From now on, if anyone is secretly harmed in the name of the Gong family, they can report to the Gong family. We will investigate this matter and not let them off! "
In the crowd, the expressions of some people quietly changed. None of these people had escaped Long Tianhao's keen perception.
He and Ya'er, one quiet and the other active, had a tacit understanding of each other.
After that group of people left, he called over his secret guards and described the appearances of those people.
When the two of them returned to the manor, Lin Mengya briefly reported this matter to her great-grandfather and then urged him to go rest.
In the end, he was getting on in years and worrying about these matters for the past few days wasn't good for his health.
Gong San also volunteered to take on the task of comforting her great-grandfather and instead urged them to go rest.
After a long journey, the two of them finally returned to their room.
The two babies were waiting for them. When they saw the two of them arrive, they immediately threw themselves at her.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
His childish voice almost melted her heart into a pool of water.
The two babies were very considerate. They held her hand and led her to the bathroom next door.
Long Tianhao, who followed closely behind, was "cruelly" rejected outside the door.
Listening to the laughter of the two boys and his wife coming from inside, Long Tianhao only felt a sour and bitter feeling in his heart.
Stinking brat, that soft and fragrant woman was his wife.
Unfortunately, now he was in a favorable position at the right time and place.
Feeling extremely helpless, Long Tianhao could only choose to go back to his room to wash up.
