The so-called grudges between the Bai and Gong families were only the matters of the past between the two old men.
But presumably, the elders of the two families would not bring these matters up to the public and let the younger generation do some shady things behind their backs.
Moreover, even if the Bai family wanted to discredit her did so for Mister Xunyang.
But they should not have focused their firepower on her.
After all, the grudge between Mister Xunyang and Third Brother was only a small matter.
If she was dragged into the water, it would be a major matter that would affect the relationship between the two families.
She believed that the head of the Bai family would not be so foolish.
Deliberately insulting the head of a family was a public declaration of war against that family.
Not to mention the subtle relationship between the Bai family and the Gong family, even if the two sides were at odds, like the Baili family, wouldn't they only be able to secretly make a few undetectable plots and schemes?
That was why she felt it was strange.
"Is there any other news?"
Long Tianhao continued to ask without batting an eyelid.
The secret guard hesitated for a moment before replying, "This subordinate sensed that other than the Bai family, there is another force secretly adding fuel to the fire. But it is difficult to trace the source for now. "
He did not expect that there would be other things involved.
Long Tianhao nodded. After ordering him to continue investigating carefully, the secret guard left.
Leaning against the window, Lin Mengya sorted through the information she already knew.
It was now very obvious that someone in the Bai family wanted to target them.
Perhaps from the moment Mister Xunyang stood out to criticize them, they had fallen head first into this trap.
Right now, there was no point in blaming anyone.
She only wanted to know why the Bai family was doing this.
Long Tianhao stood behind her and gently stroked her long hair.
Surrounded by a familiar aura, her complicated emotions gradually calmed down.
She naturally leaned against the chest of the person behind her and joked in a tone that sought joy in the midst of suffering.
"Do you think that the characteristics of the Gong family's geniuses are inherited?"
Long Tianhao raised his eyebrows. His intuition told him that it was better to keep his mouth shut.
Lin Mengya lazily rubbed against him and said with a smile, "I realized that no matter what happens in Weiguo, our Gong family is involved. Do you think that the ancestors of my family are the same as me, unable to rest for a day? "
Long Tianhao let her lean on him and wrapped his arms around her weakly.
"The ancestors of the Gong family were all smart people."
She nodded in agreement.
"That's right. It's obvious that they have a place in this patriarchal society and are able to stabilize the Gong family as one of the top ten families. Naturally, they have to work hard."
The Gong family was run by proper women.
Every single patriarch had absolute control over the entire Gong Family, unlike what the outside world had speculated, where they relied on their brothers and husbands as puppets.
Therefore, when she came back to inherit the position of the head of the family, there were no objections from the Gong family.
Of course, this was also related to the situation of the Gong family at that time.
However, it was also because their ancestors had set an example that the Gong family had been influenced imperceptibly.
In addition, she gradually understood how many things the ancestors of the Gong family had done, things that she didn't even dare to think about. As a result, she felt even more respect for those ancestors who had already passed away.
They were the ones with great wisdom.
The two of them remained silent, enjoying the rare moment of warmth.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door.
"Is Mr. Su Yan inside?"
It seemed to be Uncle Lian.
After the two of them looked at each other, Long Tianhao pressed her down on the chair and turned to open the door.
Seeing him come out, Uncle Lian immediately said, "Sir, someone is looking for you outside."
"Who is it?"
"It's … a miss of the Bai family."
Speaking of this, Uncle Lian's eyes flickered slightly.
As one of the few people in the family who knew the inside story, he knew that the man in front of him was not only a teacher of the college, but also the husband of his miss and the biological father of the two babies.
However, as soon as this man arrived, a miss of the Bai family came to look for him by name, which was somewhat inappropriate.
Long Tianhao, who didn't know that he was almost branded as a "cheating scumbag", was also a little surprised.
He didn't go to meet her immediately, but continued to ask, "Which miss of the Bai family is looking for me?"
Uncle Lian quickly raised his head and glanced at him before replying gently, "It's Miss Bai Jiarou. She said that you left something in the shop and she personally brought it back to you. I've already invited her to the main hall. Would you like to see her, sir? "
Something?
Long Tianhao immediately remembered that he had forgotten to take the little gold crown when he was in the gold shop.
But the shopkeeper didn't take his money, and those things were all free, so he didn't want to ask for them back.
Anyway, he could find a better one for his wife in the future.
"Forget it, just let her go. Just tell her that I don't want this gold crown. "
When Uncle Lian heard that he refused without hesitation, his mood instantly improved a lot.
"Okay, I'll go and tell her now."
Lin Mengya, who was in the room, also heard their conversation clearly.
Wasn't this Miss Bai a little too courteous?
If she continued to give gifts in this way, the Bai family would be emptied sooner or later.
But this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't think about it anymore.
To her surprise, the next day, Miss Bai sent them an invitation card, which indicated that she and Long Tianhao were invited to visit the mansion.
Lin Mengya looked through the card in her hand and frowned slightly.
She could understand why Bai Jiarou gave them free of charge at that time. After all, this happened in the Bai family's shop. If they made a fuss, they would suffer a greater loss.
But it was obviously not easy for her to know their identities so quickly and come to deliver the gold crown and invitation card in person.
Could it be that she wanted to talk to her about something else with this excuse?
If that was the case, then they had no choice but to accept this appointment.
She told this matter to her third brother and great-grandfather, who were familiar with Miss Bai Jiarou.
"Miss Bai is a very gentle person. When we were being criticized at the Bai Clan, only she stood up for us and said a few words."
Gong San recalled the scene that day and felt grateful to Bai Jiarou.
Lin Mengya didn't doubt this.
From Bai Jiarou's behavior in Zhenlong Workshop that day, it could be seen that this Miss Bai was not a stupid person.
Therefore, she felt that Bai Jiarou might be using this as an excuse to resolve the grudge between them.
Therefore, the two did not delay. After a little tidying up, they entered the city with the invitation card in hand.
When they arrived at the old house of the Bai family, they saw Bai Jiarou waiting for them at the door with her maidservant.
"Mr. Su, you're finally here."
There was a gentle smile on Bai Jiarou's face, and there was a hint of sincerity in her tone.
Lin Mengya exchanged a few words with her and entered the old house of the Bai family under the guidance of Bai Jiarou.
The courtyard of the Bai family was the same as the outside. It was simple and unadorned, but not luxurious.
Bai Jiarou led them to a small hall. The interior was exquisitely decorated, and one could see the care in every aspect.
Thinking about it, this should be the place where the young ladies of the Bai Family received guests.
The three of them took their respective seats, and Bai Jiarou ordered the servants to serve tea.
"In fact, I took the liberty to invite you here mainly to resolve the grudge between our two families."
Sure enough, it was as she had expected.
But Lin Mengya was not in a hurry. She was afraid that Bai Jiarou did not mean what she said.
Nevertheless, she could get some useful information out of them.
"This matter is also the wish of our patriarch and ancestor. There have been many misunderstandings in this matter. I wonder if Miss Bai could introduce us to your patriarch so that he can meet with us so that we can express our grievances and bury the hatchet. "
Bai Jiarou frowned. It was clear that this matter was beyond her ability.
After thinking for a while, she said, "It might be a little difficult to meet my patriarch now. In fact, I feel that it would be better for your family to apologize first. That way, things can take a turn for the better. "
If she had them apologize, wouldn't that be the same as confirming those crimes?
But she was not angry. In the end, Bai Jiarou was a member of the Bai family. Her starting point was naturally biased towards the Bai family.
"Miss Bai, it's not that we don't want to apologize, but this matter concerns the innocence of our patriarch. And you also know about the rumors outside. If we apologize before the matter is clear, won't we be confirming those groundless crimes? Miss Bai, please understand that we cannot comply. "
Bai Jiarou bit her lip and sincerely said, "I know that this matter has definitely caused you to suffer some grievances, but Sir Xunyang still hasn't woken up. I feel that this matter can be considered even, right?"
Lin Mengya froze. What did this mean?
Bai Jiarou's eyes carried a hint of worry as she sincerely persuaded the two of them.
"Even if Sir Xunyang is at fault, in the end, he still did it to protect his student. Moreover, his old illness has relapsed and he's bedridden. I truly can't bear to see this. Since that's the case, why don't you both take a step back? If Sir Xunyang's illness worsens, I believe that both of you will feel uneasy. "
Lin Mengya's eyes slowly turned cold.
How could there be such logic in this world? It was clearly Sir Xunyang who had caused trouble first and her Gong clan who had been humiliated later. Why did Bai Jiarou's words sound like they were in the wrong?
"Miss Bai, you mean that because Xunyang fell sick first, we should apologize?"
Bai Jiarou's eyes reddened and she hurriedly shook her head.
"No, I'm not saying that you're in the wrong. Rather, I feel that Sir Xunyang is too pitiful right now. Is it really so important who's right and who's wrong? Could it be that it's more important than someone else's life? "
What did she say? Was Bai Jiarou about to cry?
Fortunately, Bai Jiarou's eyes only reddened and no tears fell. It was just that her forceful appearance made it even more difficult to bear.
