Seeing that Su Mei had stopped, Jin Yao thought that she had hit the nail on the head.
With some certainty, Jin Yao continued, "I heard that Gong Ya has always been ruthless to those who betray her. How could such a person tolerate others meddling with everything she has? Su Mei, you've tried your best to help her, but you ended up in a depressed state. Are you willing to accept this? "
Lin Mengya wanted to laugh.
It was hilarious to be egged on by others to deal with oneself.
But she had to continue to act so that she could find out Jin Yao's purpose.
She turned around and looked at Jin Yao with a straight face.
"You're saying all this just to sow discord between me and the master of the family. But let me tell you, the master of the family has been very kind to me. I will never betray her. "
"Betray? No, what you've done is more than enough to offset her kindness to you. "
Jin Yao softened her tone, as if she was trying to seduce her.
"Think about it, you've risked your life so many times to protect the Gong family. Even if she has done you a great favor, you've repaid it. But she doesn't care about your feelings at all. Once she comes back, she wants to take away everything you've worked so hard to protect. Why? Because she is Gong Ya? There shouldn't be such an easy thing in this world! "
Lin Mengya really wanted to cooperate, but she couldn't. She just couldn't put herself in her shoes.
She had no choice but to frown and pretend to be impatient.
"Why are you saying all this to me? Let me tell you, I will never betray the master of the family! Someone, send Miss Jin away! "
She looked as if she had flown into a rage out of humiliation, but Jin Yao stood behind her and said with certainty, "You will need me. Only I can help you protect everything you have!"
"Master, do you want me to find out more?"
Cai Ru asked in the room on the second floor.
Lin Mengya leaned against the window and shook her head as she watched Jin Yao leave.
"It's okay, she'll come back."
In fact, with her current status, she could ignore Jin Yao or Miss Pan if she wanted to.
However, one of them was backed by the Jin Clan, and the other by the Empress.
Now was the crucial moment for the Gong Family's development, so they couldn't spare their hands for the time being. They had to completely take in those two parties.
Since they wanted to start a fight between women, then he might as well play with them.
He quickly took care of everything here. When the people sent by his brothers arrived, the town was completely sealed off.
That poison was easy to detoxify, but after three doses of medicine, he just needed to rest well.
However, she was afraid that the same kind of poison would suddenly erupt in other places.
Fortunately, they had enough manpower now, and Lin Mengya had already prepared a way to deal with the plague when it really came.
For a time, countless antidotes were distributed everywhere.
If someone else was poisoned, he would deal with it immediately so that his life wouldn't be in danger.
Under her active actions, a poison disaster was eliminated before it could spread.
On the second day after the town was sealed, she returned to Feiye City.
The Gong Family was still quiet and peaceful. The two boys had been waiting at home for a long time.
Lin Mengya went back to take a bath and change clothes. After a long time of disinfection, she went to get close to the children.
The two little fellows, who already had the demeanor of a gentleman in front of the teacher, immediately turned into two little rice cakes the moment they saw their fragrant and soft mother, sticking to her side.
After chattering for a while, Moyan whispered in her ear, "Mother, why do those people in our family say that when our mother comes back, you won't have a good life?"
Ning 'er also lay on her lap and said in confusion, "Aren't you the only mother we have?"
Lin Mengya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In front of outsiders, the two babies always called her Auntie.
However, such a rumor had even spread in the family. She was afraid that people outside might not think so.
Apart from her relationship with Long Tianhao, few people knew that her identity as "Su Mei" had some conflicts of interest with "Gong Ya", the master of the family.
After thinking for a while, she comforted the children first.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. They say that because they don't know my real identity. The two of you must also be careful. Don't ever, ever, ever let Mother slip, understand? "
The two little guys felt that they were being looked down upon, so they immediately patted their chests and promised that they would definitely keep their promise.
However, as the news that the master of the Gong Family had returned became more and more certain, some people also had some thoughts.
After all, in the eyes of most people, they were just a substitute.
Since the real master was back, they naturally had to give up their position.
The next day, the shopkeepers and stewards happened to come to report.
As a bystander, Lin Mengya felt that something was wrong as she listened to them.
She looked around and felt that all these people today seemed to have something on their minds.
After reporting what had happened in the morning, she asked Ning Liang to stay alone.
"Chief steward, what's wrong with everyone?"
As one of the few people who knew about it, Ning Liang naturally didn't panic.
However, the same could not be said for the others.
At that moment, he said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, but everyone is afraid that after the master comes back, he will cancel the current benefits."
Under a series of simple, crude and efficient welfare policies from Lin Mengya, these shopkeepers had quickly gotten used to the high-load working mechanism of the Gong Family.
But all this existed because of "Su Mei".
If it were someone else, they would also panic. They were afraid that the new official would burn all these benefits.
After listening to him, Lin Mengya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm not a tiger who eats people. Why are you so afraid? Besides, it is clearly stated in the employment contract that during the existence of the contract, the treatment will never be changed without permission. Alas, these people always worry about this kind of useless things. "
Ning Liang understood the situation of these shopkeepers very much.
After all, if it were him, he would also worry about the change of ruler and the change of ministers.
"Miss, of course you are kind-hearted, but now there are all kinds of rumors outside. It's understandable for these shopkeepers to worry. "
"Oh, what are they saying about me?"
She just asked casually, but Ning Liang hesitated for a moment and then answered embarrassedly.
"It's nothing important, don't take it to heart, Miss."
This was strange. In the past, Ning Liang did not have such a hesitant temperament.
Lin Mengya looked at him and asked, "What is it that you can't say in front of me? It's just that the master of the Gong Family is back and Su Mei has to step down. Is there anything else? "
Ning Liang sighed and said helplessly, "Really, nothing can escape your eyes and ears. Indeed, I heard a few rumors outside, but I thought they were nonsense, so I didn't take it to heart. "
Lin Mengya put down the teacup in her hand and paused before she said, "You should pay more attention. Look, nothing has happened yet and people are already so anxious. If someone wants to take the opportunity to do something, we have to be on guard. "
After being reminded by her, Ning Liang also realized the seriousness of the matter.
How to appease the shopkeepers and stewards was not something she needed to worry about.
She thought about it and decided to walk around the streets herself.
Apart from these rumors, she also wanted to hear if there was anyone talking about the Poison Clan.
In Feiye City, there were many people who knew her.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya knew how to disguise herself. She only brought Baisu and Cai Ru with her and left quietly.
Feiye City was getting more prosperous day by day. Now, people were calling it Little Dragon City.
However, Lin Mengya did not like this name. It sounded like a traitor.
The three of them arrived at a library.
This was opened by Lin Mengya privately for fun. Books could be read for free on the first floor, but tea and fruits had to be paid.
Sometimes, there were people telling stories and singing songs here. It was a good place to pass the time.
The second floor was filled with famous books. Students of the Si Tai Academy could read them for free with their student cards.
However, the third floor was different. It was quiet and elegant. What was stored there were some extremely rare and incomplete books.
Moreover, this place was only open to a few people.
Currently, only she, her family, and a few masters from the academy could go to the third floor.
She would come here to read when she was free. After all, it would take a lot of time to move all the books from the Bai Family here.
Fortunately, she had the help of the system. She could read with everyone else.
Therefore, she would often write one copy herself and dictate a few copies for others to write.
While the teachers were amazed, they also found the fear they had when they were forced to copy books by their own teachers.
Although this place was newly opened, it had become a popular place for many people in Feiye City.
This time, Lin Mengya did not go to the third floor. Instead, she went to a private room on the second floor.
Compared to the bustling market below, the second floor was filled with the fragrance of incense and music. It was elegant.
She ordered a pot of tea and leaned against the window. She pricked up her ears to listen to the movements below.
"Do you think it's a good or bad thing that the master of the Gong Family is back?"
Finally, there was a discussion below. Lin Mengya heard it clearly.
"Oh, who knows. But, didn't they say that she and Su Mei are like sisters? "
"They are like sisters, but they are not biological sisters. Moreover, if the master of the Gong Family is back, Su Mei will probably hand over the power. It's hard to say what the human heart is like. "
She listened attentively. Basically, they were all similar comments.
This was a little strange. When she announced that she could take charge of the Gong Family, she had clearly said that even if the master of the Gong Family returned, everything would be the same.
And to prevent people from becoming uneasy, she always announced it in the name of the master of the Gong Family.
If that was the case, why would there be such rumors and make people feel uneasy?
She waved her hand and Cai Ru immediately leaned over.
"Go, find out where these rumors are coming from."
Once Cai Ru left, she continued to listen to the discussion.
But, the direction of the wind seemed to be getting more and more strange.
