Gong San, on the other hand, saw that he had come with ill intentions. His eyes darkened and he subconsciously stood in front of them.
"Yes, what can I do for you, Third Master of the Bai family?"
Bai Shi'an sneered at Gong San's obvious protection. He pointed his folding fan at the two of them.
"Is it really the two of you? Third Master Gong, although there was some friction between the Bai family and the Gong family, the Bai family treated you with courtesy. I didn't expect that some people would take advantage of you and dare to bully the Bai family! Today, I am here to seek justice! "
His words were very serious. Bai Shi'an's face was filled with righteous indignation. Although he had some doubts, he still wanted to protect his sister.
He puffed out his chest and said in a tough tone, "The Bai family is really good at twisting words and forcing logic. What the Gong family said and what they did, Third Master Bai, why don't you just say it? The court will decide who is right and who is wrong. Why are you so aggressive? Are you trying to use your power to oppress us?"
In terms of momentum, Third Master Bai was not at a disadvantage.
Bai Shi'an's face stiffened. He thought that there were few people who would not listen to him.
Bai Shi'an snorted and looked at them mockingly. He seemed to think that they would not give in until they saw the coffin.
"Well, if that's the case, let me ask the two of you. Did you go to the Bai family today and see my niece? "
Lin Mengya glanced at Long Tianhao and thought to herself, "Is my man so likable?"
To be honest, she still didn't know what Long Tianyu had done to make the girl so worried.
But now that they had come to her, she would not refuse.
"We did go to your house to visit, but we did not do anything to offend Miss Bai."
"Did not offend? Since you left, my niece cried so much that she almost fainted. You call that not offending? Today, I want to ask the two of you, what did you do to my niece? "
Lin Mengya was a little confused. So, this man came here to question them in such an imposing manner just because his niece could not stop crying?
Suddenly, she felt a little unhappy.
"If your niece cries, just ask her what she has done. You haven't even figured out your own family's situation, yet you're here to question us. Could it be that in Third Master's eyes, our Gong Family is so weak that we can be bullied? "
In fact, no matter what happened, as long as Bai Shi'an did not implicate the two families, Lin Mengya wanted to take a step back and keep the peace.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the two clans was in a mess, and the slightest carelessness would cause others to gossip about them.
They had no choice but to be serious.
Bai Shi 'an was furious when he heard Gu Xijiu's words. He pointed at her and shouted, "How dare you accuse me first! That little niece of mine is the most gentle and kind. She can't even bear to step on an ant. You must have made her sad. Now that I'm here, you still refuse to admit your mistakes. How stubborn! "
Before Gong San could say anything to Lin Mengya, Long Tianhao dashed forward and grabbed Bai Shi 'an's wrist.
"Kacha!" The valuable folding fan broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
"What, what are you doing?"
Bai Shi 'an did not have time to feel sorry for Long Tianhao, because he realized that there was coldness in the man's eyes.
He could not help but shiver. He had an illusion that if Long Tianhao wanted to, he could be killed in a moment.
"Next time, it'll be your wrist."
Long Tianhao warned expressionlessly and let go of his wrist.
Bai Shi 'an immediately took a few steps back, looked at him warily, and checked his wrist.
He did not feel anything when he was grabbed, but now he felt a burning pain in his wrist.
The bruise on his wrist made him not dare to doubt the truth of what he said just now.
His face became even more sullen, but he was not as agitated as before.
Seeing the current situation, Gong San immediately walked in front of both parties, and his attitude was much more relaxed.
"I think there must be some misunderstanding. Third Master Bai is not an unreasonable person. Why don't we sit down and clarify things, so that we don't hurt each other's relationship?"
Bai Shi 'an did not continue to argue, but when he looked at Long Tianhao, his eyes were hiding, and he looked a little afraid.
After listening to Gong San's suggestion, he thought about it and nodded reluctantly.
The group of people finally quieted down. They entered the main hall, and after ordering for tea to be served, the atmosphere began to calm down.
Compared to his previous anger, Bai Shi 'an had hidden his dissatisfaction with them from the surface to the bottom of his heart.
Gong San looked at his calm sister, and then at Bai Shi 'an, who was angry but did not dare to speak. It seemed that he had to be the peacemaker, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.
"Xiaomei, what happened today? Tell me everything in detail."
Lin Mengya nodded and told him everything that had happened today from beginning to end.
At the same time, they also told him how they met Bai Jiarou.
At first, Third Master Bai snorted disdainfully, obviously not believing it.
But later on, he realized that the girl named Su Mei did not take the opportunity to explain herself.
In the end, Bai Shi 'an really felt that she did not know what she had done wrong.
But Bai Jiarou was indeed the most gentle and obedient girl in his family. If what they said was true, how could she have cried so much?
Lin Mengya did not expect her words to dispel Bai Shi 'an's doubts.
Moreover, she felt that Bai Shi 'an must not have asked Bai Jiarou.
But he was an uncle, how could he know what his niece was thinking?
"May I ask, Third Master, when you came, did Miss Bai tell you that we bullied her?"
This … Bai Shi 'an felt a little guilty.
In fact, when he returned home, he heard from the servants that Rourou had cried for the whole afternoon, so he ran to his niece's courtyard.
When he heard from her maidservant that she was really crying her heart out, he thought that someone must have bullied his niece.
But after hearing Su Mei's words, he felt that he had made a mistake.
Bai Shi 'an's mood swings and changes did not escape Lin Mengya's eyes.
She had long heard that the Third Master of the Bai Family was a foppish playboy, but there were no rumors about him having a problem with his character.
Compared to his two elder brothers, he did not need to inherit the family business, and he was not short of money. He was more straightforward than the other children from aristocratic families.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to them and made a ruckus just to stand up for his niece like this.
Lin Mengya knew that he must have thought of something, so she continued, "I also know that Third Master must be concerned about the younger generation, that's why he did that. Moreover, there's something I want to talk to you about in private. "
Bai Shi 'an did not believe what they said, but he more or less realized that he had been rash today.
Therefore, he nodded with a straight face.
He got up and walked a few steps to the door with Lin Mengya. After making sure that only the two of them could hear, he looked at her inquiringly.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and said softly, "Don't be nervous, Third Master. I just remembered that before I left, a personal maidservant of your lady ran to my husband, crying and begging. She said that Miss Bai thought that my husband hated her, and that was why she was so sad. Not only that, she also begged my husband to visit Miss Bai personally, and she wanted him to say that he did not hate her. "
In an instant, Bai Shi 'an's expression changed.
Even though he had always been unrestrained, he knew that if this matter was spread out, Rourou would not be able to live anymore.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My niece has been well-behaved since she was young. She would never do such a thing that would ruin her reputation!"
"You're right, Third Master. But yesterday, not only did your lady come personally, but she also said that she wanted to see my husband. Today, she even sent us a name card and invited us to meet her. I only think that Miss Bai has a pure heart, so she must not have thought too much about it. But I can't guarantee that someone did not see the big picture and twisted Miss Bai's intentions. That would not be good. "
She did not directly blame Bai Jiarou. Instead, every word and sentence was directed at the maidservant.
She did not think that what happened today was instigated by Bai Jiarou.
Moreover, Bai Shi 'an had also said that he had asked the maidservant, and only then did he know that the two of them had gone to the mansion today.
As an uncle, it must be difficult for him to even enter the house, so how would he know what Bai Jiarou was like?
Moreover, when they were at the Bai Family, even if Bai Jiarou was really in pain because she felt that Yu hated her, according to the upbringing of the Bai Family, how thick-skinned must Bai Jiarou be to ask her maidservant to come out and beg her husband to meet her?
Perhaps Bai Jiarou was a silly and sweet girl, but not everyone around her was like her.
Bai Shi 'an was a smart man. He thought for a while and understood what the other party meant.
Now that he thought about it, the maidservant had said a lot of sorrowful things, but they were all blaming Su Mei and Su Yan for bullying Rourou.
However, the maidservant didn't say anything about the specifics.
Compared to Su Mei, it was obvious that she was trying to sow discord.
His face darkened. He did not expect that he, Third Master Bai, would be fooled by a little girl.
"Thank you for not making this matter public. I, Bai Shi 'an, may not be a good person, but I know what's good for me. When I get home, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. "
Lin Mengya did not care about what he thought. Apparently, Bai Shi 'an had a good impression of her because she had concealed this part just now.
She did not say anything, but just nodded slightly at him.
Bai Shi 'an's face darkened, and he apologized to Gong San. He looked at Long Tianhao with fear, and left in a hurry, just like how he came.
Gong San shook his head and sighed in surprise.
"This Bai Shi 'an is really too unsteady."
As a fellow disciple of an aristocratic family, Gong San did not really admire Bai Shi 'an, but he did not hate him either.
He just felt that how could such a person revitalize the family in the future?
