Looking at Feng Chen's troubled expression, Lin Mengya knew that this matter could not be rushed.
"What about your adoptive parents?"
Feng Chen's face darkened, revealing a trace of sorrow.
"Three years ago, I was wrongly accused of murder. My adoptive parents did not believe that I would do such a thing, but they had no way to appeal. They must have suffered too great of a blow and passed away within a year. "
Now, the key witnesses were either dead, or had forgotten about what had happened.
Indeed, it was too difficult to reverse the verdict.
If the Bai family forced Xun Ziyang to admit it, they would be accused of using their power to bully others.
But she always felt that Song Xing would not believe that Xun Ziyang was his nephew for no reason.
"In that case, do you know how Xun Ziyang explained his origins?"
Bai Lu, who had been quietly listening at the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Actually, other than that copper seal, Xun Ziyang also took out another piece of evidence."
Seeing that everyone in the room was attracted by her, Bai Lu was not used to it.
After clearing her throat, she continued, "That was a coat that Sir's child was wearing when he went missing. That was also why I believed that he was Sir's biological son. "
Lin Mengya frowned. There was such a thing?
Feng Chen was stunned, and then said coldly, "If that was the case, then why didn't he take it out at that time? Instead, it made everyone think that I was trying to snatch everything that belonged to him. "
Indeed, if Xun Ziyang had taken out that coat, it would have been more proof that she was the real one.
She had already read the file before she came.
If not for Feng Chen's attempt to murder Xun Ziyang, then it would not have been so easy to confirm their identities.
"Because on the night before the two of you had an argument, Xun Ziyang came to me with that coat. He said that he had no intention to fight with you, and that if you and Sir could be happy, then he could keep this secret forever and withdraw. He even took out that coat, telling me that he really did not want to make a big deal out of this. That was why he felt that you … "
Bai Lu did not need to say the rest of the words, but Lin Mengya understood.
What a good way to advance by retreating. This Xun Ziyang had played the tricks of a little white lotus to the point of perfection.
First, he showed that he had nothing to do with the world, then he framed Feng Chen to kill him. Not to mention Bai Lu, even if it was her, before she understood the truth, she would also think that he was the victim, right?
But now, hehe!
If he really wanted to leave, wouldn't it be better to leave quietly by himself?
"I believe that Song Xing is convinced because of this, right?"
Bai Lu nodded at her, confirming her words.
On the other side, Feng Chen was silent.
He thought that Bai Lu did not differentiate between right and wrong, and even betrayed their friendship.
But now, it seemed that he had also been deceived.
Lin Mengya patted Feng Chen on the shoulder and sighed, "With such thoughts and means, it's not a loss for you to be defeated by him."
Then, she thought of an entry point.
"According to what you said, you didn't have a strong memory of your childhood because you were frightened and had a high fever. What I can be sure of is that Xun Ziyang must have obtained your keepsake and clothes at that time. And later on, he must have known all of your whereabouts, so he came here to put on a big show after you were recognized by Sir Xun Yang. "
In fact, there was another possibility. All of this could have been arranged by the person who had taken Feng Chen's things, or perhaps even the person who had deliberately abducted him.
But why did the other party go to such great lengths, even going so far as to plot for more than ten years?
She did not believe that the stubborn and stubborn Sir Xun Yang had this kind of value.
After instructing Bai Lu to protect Feng Chen, Lin Mengya and her third brother returned home.
When she got home, she sent a message to the branch hall, telling them to investigate the backgrounds of Feng Chen's adoptive parents and Xun Ziyang.
Her experience told her that perhaps there would be some unexpected gains.
On the other side, she instructed Bai Shi 'an not to pay too much attention to the old matters of the past, but to focus his firepower and solidify Xun Ziyang's crime of murder.
Only when his public persona had collapsed would everyone beat the dog while it was down.
Playing a war of public opinion with her was simply asking to be humiliated.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. Even though there were still people who spared no effort in spreading unfavorable public opinion about the Gong and Bai families, the two families were open and frank, not evading in the slightest. The waves they stirred were negligible and could not affect the overall situation.
These people were not stupid. The Bai family was still in charge of their rations.
If they offended them too much, would they have to drink the wind of West Wind?
The rumors that had been clamorous a few days ago had already lost their initial momentum. Lin Mengya's side, however, began to counterattack.
It was still the same restaurant where she had secretly met with Bai Shi 'an, but this time, they were open and aboveboard, not hiding in the slightest from other people.
Lin Mengya sat upstairs, narrowing her eyes at the busy people below. She seemed to be in a very good mood.
Bai Shi 'an, who had just entered the private room, saw the woman's sneaky smile, which was like that of a shrewd little fox.
For some reason, he found it somewhat difficult to shift his eyes away, so he stood where he was and looked at her.
Lin Mengya sensed that someone had come, so she casually turned around and greeted him.
Bai Shi 'an was startled, and awkwardly avoided her gaze.
Fortunately, the latter's attention was not on this, so she did not notice.
"What are you going to do?"
Bai Shi 'an suddenly remembered what he had wanted to say, and hurriedly asked.
Lin Mengya put down the teacup in a good mood.
"Of course, I'm going to take revenge. What kind of person do you think I am?
Don't I know how to talk back when I'm being chased and scolded? "
Bai Shi 'an indeed had a lingering fear when she mentioned this matter.
Although the main target of the other party's revenge had never been him, but after watching from the sidelines for a few times, he could be considered to have come up with a rule.
The golden rule was that no matter what, one should not provoke Miss Su Mei.
Otherwise, dying without a burial place would be considered a light punishment.
Little did he know that it was this rather vigilant rule that had become the foundation of his survival.
Subconsciously, he began to sympathize with those guys.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the private room.
Gong Er barged in carelessly, picked up a cup of tea from his little sister's hand, and gulped it down.
"Little sister, I've done what you asked me to do. I've long disliked these pedantic scholars. "
Lin Mengya did not speak, instead, she looked at the scene below with interest.
These few days, apart from the news in the city, she had also asked the people in the branch to collect all the rumors and slander for her, and even made a copy of them.
At this moment, it was posted outside the restaurant.
Moreover, it was written that the Gong Family was magnanimous.
If the person who said these words could produce evidence on the spot to prove that what he said was the truth, the Gong Family would immediately admit their mistake, and even reward the person with fifty taels of silver.
But if they did not say anything, it would be slandering the Gong Family!
Not only did they have to inform the Bai Family, but they also had to report to the emperor to prove their innocence.
Don't think that just because you moved your mouth, you would not have to take responsibility for your words.
She wanted to let those haters know that everyone had to be responsible for their words and actions. If they did not want others to know, they should not do it!
After knowing the truth, Bai Shi 'an shook his head helplessly.
Not to mention that few of these people dared to accuse the Gong Family to their face, the content of the rumors were all copied by the Gong Family themselves.
If there was really a mistake, would they let it out?
This move of Su Mei's put them in an invincible position, okay?
Sure enough, after the notice was posted, the group of people who used to join in the fun quietly left.
When they saw that the words that were not wrong were neatly displayed by the Gong Family, they instantly felt guilty.
Since they knew so clearly, they must know who said these words.
This group of people began to panic. They were afraid that the Gong Family would remember them and take revenge on them.
One should know that in front of the huge Gong Family, they were not even a fart.
This group of people were so scared that their limbs went limp, and the bolder ones decided to run away.
But what made them despair was that the next day, another notice was posted at the city gate.
The content was still the same as what they had said, but this time, even the time, place, and name were clearly stated.
The guards of the Bai Family openly stopped everyone who wanted to leave the city, and only allowed them to pass after verifying their identities.
This time, they really couldn't call for help from the heavens, nor could they call for help from the earth.
However, Lin Mengya ignored the fate of this group of people, and turned to talk to Bai Shi 'an about serious matters.
"Oh yes, how is the investigation on your brother?"
Although Lin Mengya was secretly investigating, out of trust for her ally, she still let Bai Shi 'an handle Bai Chunan's matter.
After all, this was a family matter, and she could not directly intervene.
When Bai Shi 'an heard this, a bitter expression appeared on his face.
He held the teacup in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Even if I beg you, can you spare my brother's life?"
There was a desperate plea in his voice.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and asked, "Give me a reason."
"He, he is my brother after all."
"But he is not my brother."
Lin Mengya's answer was almost ruthless.
But Bai Shi 'an knew that all this was his brother's own fault, and he could not blame anyone else.
After a long time, he sighed.
"Even if you don't do anything, he won't live for long. Your husband's attack almost severed all of his life force. Now, he is just barely hanging on. "
Of course, she knew about this.
But in the hands of Long Tianhao, those who tried to harm her, without exception, had all paid the price.
Even though some of them did not die, they could not escape from Long Tianhao's pursuit.
Among their enemies, it was already considered preferential treatment to be able to die a quick death.
"Forget it, I won't mention this again. I've checked all the people around my brother. Apart from a friend of unknown origin that he accidentally befriended a few years ago, there is no other suspicious person. "
