The engagement was confirmed, and this time, she would officially marry Long Tianhao according to the common etiquette.
However, her brothers were obviously more concerned about this matter than she was.
On the second day, they chased Long Tianhao out on the grounds of insubordination.
But this time, he surprisingly didn't resist. Instead, he smiled meaningfully.
The smiles on the faces of the Gong brothers, who thought that they had finally won, did not last past the next evening.
This was because Long Tianhao had ordered people to move all the things into the mansion next to theirs.
Looking at that fellow ordering people to carry the furniture and decorations next door, Gong Erxian couldn't help but go to the door.
"What do you mean?"
Long Tianhao stood at the door, but his eyes never left the gate of the Gong family.
Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "I'm going to marry a wife. Naturally, I have to make some arrangements."
"My little sister won't leave home."
"Then I can consider marrying into the Gong family. Men, send everything to the Gong family."
"Stop!"
Gong Er glared at him with a sullen face. In the end, he could only turn his head and go back in a huff.
Beside them, Long Tianhao narrowed his eyes in a good mood.
Heh, you want to copy the Queen Mother of the West and break up a couple? Dream on!
Lin Mengya was not surprised by the result.
Long Tianhao was a man who would either not do anything, or once he decided to do something, it would be watertight.
Although her brothers were also outstanding among their peers, there was still a gap between them and Long Tianhao.
For the past few days, she had been busy with building blocks.
Batches of building blocks of different specifications had been sent to the academy, but the first batch of beneficiaries were not the students, but the teachers.
From Xiao Yixin? Judging from the feedback, it seemed to be pretty good.
With the exception of a few inflexible teachers, the rest of the faculty found it extremely interesting.
That was good. Things had to be done slowly. No one could get fat in one bite.
Things were progressing smoothly at first, but who knew that after a few days, another storm would arise in Feiye City.
At noon, she was resting on the bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her brother knocked on her door.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Nansheng's expression didn't look good.
"Little sister, something has happened to the academy. A female student was found dead in the back of the mountain. She was seen by a few people who went up the mountain to cut firewood this morning. The corpse is already in the academy. Do you want to take a look? "
Her eyebrows twitched. She had a bad feeling about this.
She had always paid attention to the school's safety. When Bai Lu arrived, the first thing he did was to reinforce the school's defenses.
How could anyone die?
As the dean of the female house, she quickly arrived at the scene.
The corpse was parked in a wing of the female courtyard. She had just entered when she was stopped by a few angry people.
"You must be the female dean!"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his fifties.
That person's face couldn't be considered kind, and his eyes were too scheming. One look and one could tell that he was a very shrewd person.
Everyone here knew her identity. She had nothing to hide, so she nodded and admitted it.
The woman behind the man immediately made a ruckus.
"It's all your fault! Give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter! "
The woman's appearance could be considered delicate and pretty. However, she had been howling the whole time and didn't shed many tears.
If it was really their daughter who had died, then this pair of parents would not be as sad as they appeared.
She didn't say anything and walked past them to enter the door.
The corpse was placed in the middle of the empty space. A faint stench of a corpse made one feel nauseous.
Lin Mengya walked over and saw a small hand under the white bedsheet. She couldn't help but be shocked.
It was a very small and delicate woman's hand. However, the five fingers were at a very strange angle, as if they had been broken by someone.
Moreover, there was an old crescent-shaped scar between the thumb and the index finger.
She walked over and slowly lifted the bedsheet.
A delicate and pretty face with a hint of immaturity appeared in front of her.
But in an instant, her eyes widened.
How, how could it be her?
"Who found the corpse? Where did they find it?"
She turned around and questioned in a stern voice.
The person in charge was the dean of the female house.
When he saw that something had happened to a student, he also felt that it was very troublesome. Hence, he had asked about it in detail.
"I've asked those people, but they only said that they found it in the back of the mountain. And when they found it, the girl was naked. "
The latter half of the sentence was very soft, but it was like a heavy hammer that hit her body.
She looked at the face of the corpse. It was a face that was as warm and bright as the spring sun when it smiled.
Now, it was frozen forever.
"Xuerou, my poor daughter! Mother regretted sending you here! "
Outside the door, the woman began to wail again.
Lin Mengya had no time to care about it. She just looked at the corpse and felt very sad.
Seeing this, Lin Nansheng immediately came forward and said, "Don't worry, the murderer will be caught."
But she looked at her brother with a complicated expression and said softly, "I know her, brother, I've seen her."
Lin Nansheng's heart trembled and he looked very worried.
He thought of Yue Ting.
The woman whom he had let down the most in his life, but he could not make up for it.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, he held his sister in his arms.
"It's not your fault, Ya 'er. Don't blame yourself."
He knew how much Ya 'er had suffered after Yue Ting's accident.
Maybe he was selfish, but he did not want his sister to be so sad.
Lin Mengya looked at the girl and closed her eyes tightly.
Maybe she was not a good teacher, and could not fulfill the girl's wish.
But she would definitely find the murderer!
She gently pushed her brother away, indicating that she would be fine.
"From now on, I'll take over this matter. The rest of you must keep this secret and maintain order in the school. "
She had never been weak. Even when her heart was injured, she could still fight with the group of people from the Lin family. It was enough to show that she was very strong.
She had only met Huang Xuerou once, but she could not bear to see her killed and the murderer get away with it.
She immediately cleared the place and wanted to check the corpse herself. But she heard crying and noises coming from outside.
The woman rushed into the door, pushed her away and stood in front of the corpse.
"What are you doing? My daughter is dead, and you still want to humiliate her? "
Lin Mengya looked at the woman in front of her calmly. Her facial features were indeed similar to Huang Xuerou's.
"I just want to find the murderer who killed your daughter."
Madam Huang laughed coldly and said, "Pfft! You make it sound so nice! My daughter was sent to you with a clean record, but now she has died in such a dubious manner. You must give me an explanation! "
Lin Mengya nodded and said, "You're right, Madam Huang. Apart from finding the murderer, what else can I do for you?"
The woman did not expect her to be so easy to talk to. She looked at her from head to toe and rolled her eyes.
"Tell them to release my master first, and I'll let him go. Let me tell you, my master is a respectable person. Don't try to fool us! "
Lin Nansheng waved his hand and the people outside let go of the door.
Master Huang quickly followed them in, but he did not even look at his poor daughter. He only stared at her with a cold face.
"The royal family will not let this matter rest!"
Lin Mengya took a deep breath and bowed deeply to them. She said apologetically, "This is our negligence. We're very sorry that you lost your daughter. If we can, we'll try our best to make it up to you. "
Hearing this, the Huang couple's eyes were filled with pride.
Old Master Huang looked at them haughtily. After thinking for a while, he said somewhat unwillingly, "Since my daughter died in your academy, this responsibility should naturally be shouldered by your academy. However, the Huang family is also a well-educated and reasonable family. You only need to give us three thousand taels of silver and two shops on the main street of Ye City. "
As soon as this was said, everyone who heard it was dumbfounded.
Three thousand taels of silver? And two shops on the main street?
Had this couple gone mad?
Lin Mengya did not reject them immediately. She said, "I can give you the money, but not the shops. That's the Gong family's private property and has nothing to do with the academy. "
However, Master Huang was very dissatisfied and his face darkened.
"If you don't give me the money, you'll be in court! I'd like to see who dares to study here in the future! Men, bring Miss Lin's body along. I don't believe that there's no place in this world where justice is served! "
The husband and wife quarreled and insisted on taking their daughter's corpse with them.
The people around them were getting anxious. After all, if this matter were to spread, it would affect the academy's reputation.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at the couple in front of her.
They claimed that their daughter had died unjustly, but now, they were trying to make a fortune out of her daughter's death.
She could not help but pity the young girl even more. She no longer had a good impression of this couple.
"Director, are we really going to let them go?"
The Dean asked quietly.
"Yes, go and tell them that they either have to bring their daughter's body away or ask for the three thousand taels of silver. Go ahead."
On this matter, she had to compromise a little.
After all, they were the girl's parents. If they insisted on taking her away, she had no reason to stay.
The matter was so simple that it made her heart ache.
The pair of pragmatic parents agreed to take the three thousand taels of silver. However, Madam Huang had accidentally spoken her mind.
The reason why they were so eager to take the girl's body away was so that they could sell it to a merchant as a wife in the afterlife.
She had also learned about Huang Xuerou's background from a student who knew her.
Her family was a small one with only a few acres of fertile land.
As a daughter, she was born to be used as a bargaining chip.
Now that she was dead, she was still a commodity in the eyes of her parents.
If Lin Mengya had not offered a higher price, Huang Xuerou would have married a man who had died young in the name of a stranger's wife.
