After thinking through all of this, Bai Huaan and Bai Shi 'an's resentment towards the Gong Family had lessened significantly.
What they needed to do now was to figure out how to clean up the mess.
"Father, are we really going to agree to the Gong Family's terms for Jiarou?"
Bai Huaan had made his choice between the interests of the family and his daughter.
Bai Shi 'an did not say a word. Obviously, he had the same idea as his second brother.
The Bai Family Head thought for a moment. Then, he said unwillingly, "Haven't you noticed? When did we ever have the upper hand? "
He had only suddenly realized this after looking back at the events of the past few days.
On the surface, they had been pressuring the Gong Family and making mistakes again and again.
But the Gong Family could have resisted, but they always acted as if they had no other choice.
They could only say that they had reaped what they had sown.
The two Bai brothers could only sigh continuously.
Who asked them to be blinded and treat a tiger as a big cat?
Lin Mengya, who had finally won, was in a good mood.
They did not continue to wander around Fengyuan City. Instead, they returned to the place the Gong Family had prepared for them.
As soon as they entered, Uncle Lian came up to them worriedly.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, he quickly ran into the room to report the news.
"Old Master, Third Young Master, Miss and Young Master are back!"
In the main room, Gong Qianfeng, who was discussing the countermeasures with Gong San, immediately said, "It's good that they are back, it's good that they are back."
Although he knew that the Bai Family could not do anything to these two children, he could not help but worry.
The two of them paid their respects to their great-grandfather and reported everything that had just happened in full detail.
The more Gong Qianfeng listened, the angrier he became.
"How dare the Bai Family! How dare they scheme against my great-granddaughter. Hmph! I think that old man Bai has lived all these years in vain. "
"Don't be angry, great-grandfather. Don't worry, I have gotten back what I deserve. I believe that from today onwards, Bai Jiarou will not be able to stir up trouble. "
In fact, Bai Jiarou's actions did not affect her much.
Not to mention that Long Tianhao was not interested in her at all, in her eyes, none of the tricks that Bai Jiarou had used were worthy of her attention.
The reason why she didn't kill her was that she wanted to keep her alive so that she could get something for herself.
Speaking of which, they were the ones who had the upper hand.
"I don't know what's going on with the Bai Clan. Back then, Lan Zhi was willing to sacrifice her entire life to protect the clan. I don't know how that old man managed to raise such a girl. In the end, it's still not the same as before. "
His great-grandfather was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
He had stayed in the Gong Family for a long time and did not come out, so he naturally looked at his old friends with the same eyes he used to have.
However, he was greatly disappointed. He had the illusion that he had overturned the world overnight.
"Actually, it's just that they've been living in comfort for too long that they've lost their vigilance against danger."
She had to admit that the timing that the Immortal City picked was really just right.
Now, everyone only had their eyes on the aristocratic families and the existing distribution of power.
After the Immortal City quietly swallowed up their retreat, they only needed to provoke them, and the people on the ground would start to fight endlessly. Why would they need to do it themselves?
Thinking of this, she only felt a chill running down her spine.
Suddenly, her hand was held by a pair of warm hands. She looked up and saw the calm face of the man.
However, there was worry and comfort in his eyes.
Subconsciously, she held his hand tightly. Yes, she still had him. What was there to be anxious about?
After such a torment, the Bai Clan was obviously more proactive than before.
The next day, they sent the list of names.
After comparing and understanding with Third Brother, they knew that these people were indeed rare good material. After that, they temporarily accepted the sincerity of the Bai Clan.
However, to Lin Mengya's surprise, the person in charge of the handover this time was actually Bai Shi 'an.
Seeing that this person was not as frivolous and calm as he used to be, Lin Mengya could roughly guess something.
The Bai Clan was going to pull themselves together.
"Senior, Third Young Master, if both of you feel that there is no problem with the list, I will go back to prepare."
Because of the seniority of his great-grandfather, Bai Shi 'an only addressed him as senior, which was not considered impolite.
It could not be helped. Almost all the great-ancestors of other clans had entered the ancestral hall. Only her great-grandfather was left, so he still had the advantage of seniority.
After exchanging a look with his great-grandfather, Third Brother Gong said politely, "There is no problem with the list, but are you sure that you can invite all the people on this list?"
Bai Shi 'an pondered for a while.
"With my ability, I can probably persuade about 60 to 70 percent of them."
Lin Mengya estimated that according to the people on the list, 60 to 70 percent would be enough.
She took the list and circled a few people on it with a pen.
"The others can choose not to come, but please make sure that you can invite these few people, Third Master Bai."
Bai Shi 'an looked at her a little awkwardly, but she did not care.
When he saw the people she had circled, his expression became somewhat awkward.
"It's fine if it's the others, but forgive me for speaking bluntly about Sir Xunyang. Although he didn't mention what happened that day after he woke up, that doesn't mean that he can go to the Gong clan to teach. After all, this matter has caused such a huge ruckus that it can't be resolved with just a few words. "
Lin Mengya put down her pen and gave a graceful smile.
"It's precisely because of that storm that he must go. Only by doing so can he completely dispel those people's suspicions and doubts. "
Bai Shi 'an had also guessed at this point.
But while this seemed to be the most effective path, it was also the most difficult one.
When he thought of Sir Xunyang's stubborn temper, he felt his head hurt.
Lin Mengya asked even though she already knew the answer.
"Could it be that Third Master Bai cannot do it?"
Nonsense! If he could do it, why would he be grinding his teeth with her here?
Seeing that the man's eyes were gradually growing resentful, Lin Mengya smiled and sold him a favor.
"In truth, this matter isn't difficult. Sir Xunyang didn't pursue the matter because he also had his suspicions. As long as Third Master can clearly investigate the truth of the matter, everything will be easily resolved. "
Bai Shi 'an glared at her with a huff. He also knew about this matter.
But how could he investigate? If he could find out, he would have done so long ago, no?
Lin Mengya raised her teacup. Why hadn't she thought that this fellow was so stupid before?
"I heard that Xun Ziyang is still locked up in the guard camp's prison. This person didn't come back earlier or later, but just had to come back when we came. Truly, there's no story without coincidences. "
She had already said this much. If this idiot still didn't understand, then she could only do it herself.
Suddenly, realization dawned on Bai Shi'an.
Right! Sir Xunyang's poisoning definitely had something to do with Xun Ziyang!
"I understand. Please wait for the good news. This one will take his leave first!"
"Third Master Bai, take care."
She smiled as she sent him off. Once he was gone, she continued to look at the list.
Then, he picked out a few more people from the crowd and placed them in front of Third Elder Brother.
"Before coming here, I made some inquiries about the situation. The people I marked out either have old ties with the Gong family or don't have any connections here, so they aren't valued here. However, these people's knowledge and character are not bad. From tomorrow onwards, Third Brother will personally visit them. "
Gong San wasn't bashful. He took the list and memorized it.
The members of the Gong family had long developed the good habit of 'listening to his younger sister for everything'.
Gong Qian enjoyed the fruits of his labor. The more harmonious his children were, the more he, as a parent, felt at ease.
After all, in this world, they still needed to watch over and help each other.
"By the way, has Second Brother sent any letters in the past few days?"
Thinking about it, Second Brother should have already returned from sending off the Liao family.
Third Brother immediately remembered something and said in a low voice, "Second Brother seems to have run into some trouble. Everything is as you predicted. On the way there, someone tried to kill the Liao family. When Second Brother arrived, the head of the Liao family also sent people to receive him. The people who came were highly skilled in martial arts, and there were many of them. Second Brother had to put in a lot of effort to defeat them. "
"Was Second Brother injured?"
Hearing that, she immediately asked.
She knew Second Brother's martial arts.
Even Yu said that if he were to fight against Second Brother, he would have to suffer some injuries to defeat him.
If even Second Brother could not resist them, it seemed that the other party was really willing to pay a heavy price.
"Don't worry. Second Brother said that if you didn't give him the elixir, it would be more troublesome. However, he seemed to have discovered something. He said that it was not convenient to send a letter and needed to talk to you face to face. I think he should be here in a few days. "
Gong San was also worried about his brother, but he knew his second brother's character.
He was afraid that after letting his little sister out these few times, that wild horse would think more freely. Even if he were to come and get injured, he would play it down and not take it seriously.
Nevertheless, he understood his brother very well.
Compared to the days when he was sullen and depressed, it was more carefree to be a dragon in the sea and a roc in the sky.
Hearing this, she temporarily let go of her worries.
As Third Brother went out early and came back late every day to visit those people, he gradually became part of the small circle of scholars, and became busier.
Long Tianhao was also busy with his own affairs, and she did not see him for the whole day.
But she knew that every night when he came back, he would come to her bed to see her.
However, by the time she woke up, he was long gone.
Fortunately, she did not have much free time. She was so busy with the establishment of the big Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, she could only communicate with Eldest Brother by letter. It took her a few days to specify the entry rules and the membership regulations, and only then did she manage to customize the first version.
The only person in the family who was free was her great-grandfather, who had been busy all his life.
Every day, the old man just played with his two little great-grandsons, and did not care about them at all.
