She knew what Uncle Yan meant. He felt that Ning Liang's position as the chief butler was not "legitimate".
Even after receiving her affirmation, Uncle Yan still felt that it was not the truth.
"Master, I, Gong Feiyan, am considered an elder in the Gong Family. My loyalty to the Gong Family can be proven by the sun and moon. If anyone wants to threaten the Emperor to order the nobles, I will be the first to not let him off! "
She glared at Ning Liang fiercely. The threat in her eyes made Ning Liang smile bitterly in his heart.
Although Uncle Yan was dissatisfied with him, he did not neglect any of the things that he should do.
Because of this, Ning Liang trusted this troublemaker more.
Lin Mengya also understood what Uncle Yan meant. It seemed that some rumors still affected these people.
She cleared her throat and said solemnly, "I know, other than Uncle Yan, everyone here is the meritorious minister of the Gong Family. Therefore, I feel that it is better for us to talk about some things openly. "
She glanced at Ning Liang, who was standing humbly beside her.
"Ning Liang is the chief butler that I personally promoted. Like all of you, he is the person that I trust the most. I know that all of you have heard some rumors recently. If there is anything else that you want to know, you can say it now. "
Her words caused the stewards of the outer court to become somewhat submissive.
Although Gong Ya was young, she was a straightforward person.
Previously, they had heard some rumors about her.
At that moment, they became timid.
Gong Feiyan looked left and right and stood up in a fit of pique.
"Master, I want to know, is it your idea or Su Mei's idea to be the chief butler of Ning Liang?"
These words were extremely bold.
The surrounding stewards couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Lin Mengya looked up at Uncle Yan with her sparkling eyes.
"It is my idea."
"But everyone outside said that Su Mei coveted the position of the master of the Gong Family. Don't be afraid, no matter who conspired with Su Mei, I will only recognize you as the master of the Gong Family! "
Uncle Yan patted his chest, but he had the attitude of a protector.
Lin Mengya could not help but secretly shook her head. This stubborn little old man was quite cute sometimes.
However, this was definitely not a reason for him to doubt her.
"Uncle Yan, I want to ask these questions. Are you the one who wants to ask these questions, or is this what everyone else is thinking?"
The stewards looked at each other and nodded in unison.
His attitude was very firm.
"Alright, then I'll tell you the truth. From the beginning to the end, Su Mei is my woman. I don't think I need to say anything else, right? "
Her expression was serious and solemn, and her pretty face carried traces of killing intent. She had a dignified bearing.
All of a sudden, the stewards were stunned by her.
Even Uncle Yan was speechless for a long time.
"If that's the case, then why are there still these rumors?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "I don't know. But I know that if it wasn't Su Mei, but any one of you, I would also protect him. If I don't even have this little bit of trust, then I'll be letting down everyone's loyalty to the Gong Family. "
For a time, the stewards of the outer court were silent.
Actually, from another perspective, wasn't Su Mei the same as them?
To Gong Ya and the Gong Family, most of them were considered outsiders.
However, they were entrusted with important tasks by Gong Ya.
Thinking about it carefully, if one day, they were also wronged by others, and the Master still believed in them so firmly, if it was them, they would probably shed tears of gratitude and do their utmost for the Master until the day they die, right?
Gong Feiyan was also stunned. Then, he looked at Ning Liang with a complicated expression.
The latter did not hold any grudges and smiled at him.
To be honest, ever since this steward took over, the Gong Family had indeed become more prosperous day by day.
As the steward of the outer court, he generously delegated power to him.
Moreover, Ning Liang was fair and reliable, and all of his actions were for the Gong Family.
Even if he did not trust him, he could not find any fault with him.
Now that he thought about it, he was really a little narrow-minded.
He sighed, walked in front of Ning Liang, and actually saluted.
"You can't."
Ning Liang quickly held onto Uncle Yan, but the latter was very insistent.
"Uncle Yan, what are you doing?"
Ning Liang was a little speechless, and he refused to let go.
"Steward, I'm a short-sighted old man, and did not see the good in you. From now on, if you say one, I won't do two. Let's work together and do this job well! "
Lin Mengya smiled. It was obviously very rare for Uncle Yan to admit his mistakes and correct them.
Although Ning Liang refused no matter what, their relationship was considered to have broken the ice.
The rest of the stewards of the outer court also heaved a sigh of relief.
And they were even more dedicated to her, the Master.
An internal conflict was resolved by her without a trace.
Although she could not guarantee that all the stewards and stewards did not have evil intentions.
But as long as everyone still had trust in each other, then the Gong Family would not fall into internal conflict again.
After seeing everyone off, she asked Uncle Yan to stay behind to talk to him.
Without outsiders, Lin Mengya no longer put on the airs of a master, and smiled warmly.
"My great-grandfather has been missing you recently. Uncle Yan, why don't you stay in the inner court for a few more days?"
Although Uncle Yan was the steward of the outer court, he was also a steward of the academy.
Therefore, he not only had to deal with the affairs of the whole family, but also worry about the affairs of the academy.
Fortunately, Uncle Yan was quite capable. These days, there was no trouble at all, which was very rare.
Uncle Yan waved his hand and said, "No need. There are too many things to do in the family, plus the new batch of teachers in the academy. Even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep, I will be too busy. Thank you, Old Master, for still thinking of me. "
She curled up her lips, and there was a little more kindness in her smile.
"A few days ago, I went to the academy to have a look, and I heard that there are some conflicts between the instructors recently."
Uncle Yan touched his nose and let out a long breath.
"In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that the batch of instructors who stayed here before can't get along with the new teachers for the time being. "
"Oh? Why is that? They are treated much better than the new teachers. "
Speaking of this, Uncle Yan actually had a headache, and couldn't help but complain a few more words.
"Isn't that right? Our previous batch of instructors is the best in terms of salary and treatment. But all day long they complained that these gentlemen who came after them were taking what they had. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that they have gone too far. These two groups are now like fire and water, and neither is willing to submit to the other. "
While listening to Uncle Yan's complaints, she was also thinking of a solution.
To be honest, this result was out of her expectation, but it was reasonable.
It was a well-known fact that the teachers of the Gong family were treated well.
But people were always greedy.
After getting a part of it, they would think about other things.
If they were allowed to develop like this, wouldn't they be able to run amok in the academy in the future?
"Then how did my third brother deal with it?"
At the mention of this, Uncle Yan's eyebrows relaxed a little.
"Our third young master is really smart. Previously, he talked to the people from these two groups. Although they didn't come to an agreement, because of this, there was a competition. "
"Oh? What competition? "
"Third young master said that since no one is willing to submit to the other, then they should teach their own students. Every other year, a competition will be held. The winning group will have the priority to choose the next year. But there is one rule, which is that they are not allowed to hurt each other, or take revenge in public, which will affect the operation of the whole academy, and they are not allowed to expel the other group from the academy. Now, they don't have time to quarrel. They all want to win the first competition! "
Lin Mengya didn't expect that her third brother would come up with such a trick.
She had to admit that this was a brilliant trick.
If she wanted to completely appease one group, she was afraid that she would completely offend the other group.
But now, she just turned it into a competition within the academy.
As long as she guided it well, it could become a benign mechanism to promote the progress of the students and teachers.
Sure enough, her third brother was the most suitable person for that position.
"Patriarch, do you need me to remind Third Young Master?"
Uncle Yan said tentatively, for fear that his master would be unhappy because of this.
Lin Mengya shook her head, with a comfortable smile at the corner of her mouth.
"No, I don't need anything. Uncle Yan, you just need to do your best to cooperate with my third brother. This is a good thing, a great thing. "
It was only then that Uncle Yan felt relieved.
He just thought that the master would be angry at Third Young Master for making the decision on his own.
"By the way, is the women's yard also excluded?"
Mentioning this, Uncle Yan's face was a little pale.
"It's not really excluded. But recently, some people from small aristocratic families wanted the academy to abolish the women's yard. They said that it was immoral for women and men to coexist in the same school. But I refused them one by one. How could they make irresponsible remarks about our Gong Family's affairs? "
Lin Mengya knew the meaning of Uncle Yan's words.
Not to mention other things, the Gong Family was an aristocratic family run by women.
Those people had a problem with the women's yard. To put it bluntly, they had a problem with her.
She was afraid that if she agreed to abolish the women's yard today, the next step would be to be accused of being a womanizer and messing up the moral code.
Since it didn't work in the Gong Family, they wanted to use public opinion to suppress her?
In their dreams!
"If they want to say it, let them say it. I think there's no need to put the women's yard in a separate place. "
Uncle Yan was shocked. Could it be that the master was so angry that he became muddle-headed?
Then, Gong Ya's words made Uncle Yan realize that it was over. His master was crazy with anger.
"What men's yard and women's yard? They are all students of our Si Tai Academy. So from tomorrow onwards, male and female students can go to school in the same classroom. Except for the living area, they can all stay together. "
