The gatekeeper curled his lips and lazily went in to look for Lin Mengya.
The two immediately lowered their heads and leaned aside, looking humble and timid, not attracting any attention at all.
If Jiang Ruqin was not stupid, she should be able to understand what they meant.
After waiting for nearly an hour, the gatekeeper came out with a person.
"Is she the person you are looking for?"
The gatekeeper pushed the person out casually. The person was not prepared and staggered a few steps.
Ah Er immediately went to greet him. Lin Mengya also quickly raised her head and looked at him. She quietly pulled Ah Er's sleeve to signal.
"Yes! Niece, I'm your Second Uncle! "
Jiang Ruqin immediately understood and cried out with tears, "Second Uncle, is it really you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm your Second Uncle, and this is your cousin. Do you remember?"
The gatekeeper must have been tired of such a scene of family reunion. He stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Ruqin's neckline, raised his eyelids, and said, "You've seen her. Hurry up and go back to your work!"
Ah Er immediately stopped him and fawningly stuffed money into the gatekeeper's hand.
"Master, please make an exception for us. At least let us say something before we leave."
The gatekeeper put away the money and pretended to be embarrassed, "Alas, I'm a soft-hearted person. I can't bear to see others beg me. OK, I'll give you a quarter of an hour. But you can't go too far. And you're not allowed to inquire about our family affairs. Otherwise, I'll let your family reunite in the netherworld. Do you understand? "
The three immediately nodded submissively, looking very frightened.
"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare. We're just saying some intimate words. Please understand, Master!"
The gatekeeper obviously enjoyed the feeling of being regarded as a big shot.
He waved his hand and let them go.
But he didn't eavesdrop. After all, in his eyes, people like ants like them didn't have the courage to inquire about the Baili family's affairs.
Soon, the three came to the corner.
After making sure that no one was watching them, Ah Er immediately changed his attitude and walked to one side to keep a lookout.
The two pretending to be cousins also quickly let go of their hands.
"There's not much time. What's going on?"
Lin Mengya asked with a low voice.
Jiang Ruqin didn't have time to put on airs. She had to explain the situation of her aunt and herself.
"You mean to say that they didn't do anything harmful to Mother when they imprisoned her?"
Jiang Ruqin nodded and said, "I don't know about the others, but there are no guards here except for me. If you want to save them, it won't be difficult. "
However, Jiang Ruqin didn't know that the reason why there was no one guarding their courtyard was that they were in the deepest part of the Inner Courtyard.
Last night, even her scan did not touch that place. It was easier said than done to enter and rescue people.
"What about my father? Do you know where he is? "
Jiang Ruqin was stunned for a second and then shook her head.
She only cared about her aunt, how could she care about anyone else?
Fearing that Lin Mengya would not help, he hurriedly said, "Aunt is old, and there is a shortage of clothes and food here. I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it for a long time. I think you'd better save my aunt and me first. As for your father, it won't be too late to save him later. "
Jiang Ruqin's words were reasonable. But except for some injuries, Jiang Ruqin's clothes were better than ordinary people.
Lin Mengya didn't know whether the Baili Family would mistreat their servants, but since the Baili Family had imprisoned her mother-in-law, even if he didn't know her identity, he should know that she was a useful bargaining chip.
Therefore, Jiang Ruqin said that because she wanted to leave the Baili Family as soon as possible.
"I'll think of a way, but it may take some time."
"Why do you have to wait?"
Jiang Ruqin was a little anxious. She grabbed Lin Mengya's hand and asked in a low voice.
"Don't tell me you're abandoning your old love because you've found a new one? Lin Mengya, if you dare to ignore us, I'll tell your fiancé that you've lost your virginity and are a loose woman! "
Hearing her threat, Lin Mengya's face turned cold.
Indeed, a leopard cannot change its spots. Even if Jiang Ruqin was on her side for the time being, she was not a kind person after all.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I have other important things to deal with, and I won't ignore my mother. "
It seemed that her mother-in-law didn't trust her so much, so she didn't tell her about Long Tianhao's current situation.
Well, the more people like Jiang Ruqin knew, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Hearing her promise, Jiang Ruqin snorted coldly.
"Humph! You're still a little cold-blooded. You can leave, but give me one thousand taels of silver first. "
Lin Mengya frowned.
"What do you want so much money for?"
Jiang Ruqin glared at her and said in a strange tone, "I'm not as heartless as you. Aunt's food and drinks here are all paid for by me. I only have a small amount of money every month. What's enough for me? You don't want to give me money, do you? Alas, the tea cools down when people leave. Luckily, my cousin treated you so well! "
Ah Er turned his cold eyes to her.
Lin Mengya guessed that if Jiang Ruqin continued to be arrogant, Ah Er and someone hiding in the dark would directly rush up and strangle her to death.
It was just one thousand taels of silver. Lin Mengya could afford it.
She took out the banknotes. When Jiang Ruqin was about to take them, she took them away.
"What do you mean?"
"I have plenty of money. It's not that I can't give you one thousand taels of silver."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruqin stared at her and questioned.
"Then why are you still talking nonsense?"
"But —"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and put the banknotes back into her pocket in front of Jiang Ruqin.
"We're just two poor relatives from the countryside. It's too eye-catching to give you one thousand taels of silver at once. Well, I'll give you one ingot of silver first. You can use it first. If it's not enough, you can go to the Mingji Trading Company in the city to get some in the name of visiting relatives. Remember, it's a leather goods business. Your 'second uncle' and 'cousin' work here. "
Jiang Ruqin was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"It's just one thousand taels of silver. Obviously, this bitch is not willing to give it to me!"
"It's not enough to buy a cotton-padded coat for aunt!"
Lin Mengya smiled and looked at the greedy Jiang Ruqin.
"Not to mention a cotton-padded coat, I can even afford a marten coat. But I'm not a sucker for extortion. You can use as much money as you want. But you must have a note from my aunt. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a penny from me. "
"You! You're obviously making things difficult for me! That's fine. Since you're so heartless, why should I be considerate for you? The news that the head of the Gong Family is a widowed woman must be worth some money in the Baili Family … "
But before she could finish her words, Ah Er twisted her neck.
Jiang Ruqin slapped Ah Er's arm in horror, but she was firmly held by his other hand. She couldn't move anymore.
"It seems that you've forgotten some of the lessons I taught you in the past."
She took a step forward and looked at him coldly.
"Do you think I'll let you go if you tell me? As you said, I'm the head of the Gong Family now. I'm on equal footing with the Baili Family. If I want to kill you, it's as easy as killing an ant. "
Although the face of the woman in front of Jiang Ruqin was covered, her dark eyes were enough to drag Jiang Ruqin into the hell that was worse than death.
"I, I was wrong. Please, don't kill me!"
Hearing her begging, Lin Mengya gave Ah Er a look.
Ah Er immediately let go of Jiang Ruqin, who was about to cough.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and looked at the woman sitting on the ground.
"Take good care of my mother. If I find out that you're talking nonsense, I'll make you suffer a hundred times more painful than before. You're not a member of the royal family here. "
Jiang Ruqin nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that she understood, Lin Mengya asked Ah Er to let go of her.
Jiang Ruqin finally breathed some fresh air. She hurriedly put away the silver ingot and was about to leave.
But Lin Mengya stopped her.
"You have to put on a good show so that people won't suspect you."
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Ruqin's arm and obviously felt that Jiang Ruqin was trembling.
Good, in this way, Jiang Ruqin would be conscious.
"Sister, father and I will come to see you often in the future. You must be more sensible in our family. Don't be willful, understand? "
"I, I understand, sister."
"Okay, good girl."
Turning the corner, she and Ah Er quickly got into their roles.
And Jiang Ruqin's eyes were red because of what had happened just now, as if she had cried.
The doorman was used to this kind of thing. He said impatiently, "Don't dawdle. We didn't raise you to chat with our family!"
Jiang Ruqin lowered her head and ran back to the door as if she was escaping.
Lin Mengya and Ah Er deliberately waited until the figure disappeared, and then they left together.
They walked through several streets before they stopped.
At this time, another person silently landed in front of her.
"Did you see it?"
Long Tianhao nodded gently.
Just now, he was by her side to protect her safety.
Lin Mengya took off her disguise, got into the carriage that had been prepared in the alley, and changed into her own clothes.
Through the window, she discussed with him how to rescue her mother-in-law.
"Jiang Ruqin is not a reliable person. We have to find a way to find a trustworthy person to protect mother."
"Okay, I'll do it."
This matter was related to his mother, so Long Tianhao was naturally duty-bound.
After Lin Mengya changed her clothes, she poked her head out of the window and said with a smile, "I still remember that she cried and begged to marry you and be your vice concubine. If we succeed in rescuing mother this time, your cousin might ask you to repay her kindness by marrying her. "
Hearing this, Long Tianhao's face instantly darkened.
He held her in his arms and kissed her hard on her red lips.
"Impossible!"
He swore in a low voice and resolutely.
Lin Mengya was teasing him, and now her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
"I'm just joking with you."
"I don't want anyone except you."
His soft words made her legs tremble and numb.
How could this person be so good?
