"Looks like you're not that stupid after all."
Lin Mengya walked in with a cold smile on her face.
The elder of the Jun family jumped up in agitation when he saw her. He pointed at her through the fence and yelled, "You're the one who started this! Just you wait, the Jun family will fight you to the death! "
But Lin Mengya only glanced at him. Her words were directed at Jun Wuzhao.
"I found this in your family's elder's room. Do you want to take a look?"
She handed a stack of letters to him as she spoke.
The elder's expression changed drastically when he saw the letters.
"Young … Young Lord, she's the one who framed you. You can't fall for her tricks!"
Jun Wuzhao opened the letters with a livid expression. The contents made him gnash his teeth in hatred.
He couldn't stand it any longer after reading a few lines. He clenched the letters tightly and glared at the elder whom he'd once respected so much.
"I'm only asking you one question. Is this letter real or fake? Have you colluded with those people? "
The elder tried his best to deny it, refusing to admit it no matter what.
But Jun Wuzhao had already recognized the handwriting. It was indeed the elder's, and there was even his personal seal on it.
"I might have believed you a little if it was my family's official seal on it, but you've never taken it off yourself. No matter how powerful Gong Ya is, she can't take it away from you. Besides, she didn't even know about the engagement between the Jun family and the Holy Temple! Are you still going to deny it now? "
Jun Wuzhao's merciless questioning infuriated the man.
"I'm doing all this so that the Jun family can continue to prosper. You're too young to understand the importance of this. "
Jun Wuzhao couldn't help but sneer at the unrepentant elder who still thought he was doing all this for the good of the Jun family.
His eyes were cold, and no one could understand the bitterness in his heart.
"My father has told me how important the Jun family's affairs are since I was born. I've always been cautious and conscientious, never daring to relax. I didn't expect you to think that I'm just a puppet that can be manipulated! If that's the case, why do you still need me as the young lord? "
When the clan elder heard this, he only felt that he was a child who had not grown up yet, willful and willful.
However, Lin Mengya, who was standing at the side, could not bear to listen to them. She could not help but interrupt, "You keep saying that he is the Young Master, but in fact, none of you are willing to look up to him. Such an important matter, but you are not willing to tell him. Instead, you have made a secret agreement with him. I think as a clan elder, you are much more powerful than him as the Young Master."
The Jun Family Elder glared at her and said angrily, "You don't need to sow discord here. This is our Jun Family's own business. The Young Lord will certainly understand my good intentions. I can guarantee on my conscience that I have no selfish motives in this. Everything I have done is for the sake of helping the Jun Family out of its current predicament. "
"Oh, is that so?"
Lin Mengya could not help but sneer at his words.
"If you're really so selfless, why don't you let your granddaughter be the experimental field? Borrow his seed? What do you take them for? Were they pigs, sheep, dogs, or other animals that could be taken out and slaughtered at any time? Yeah.
To put it nicely, you're doing this for the future of the Jun Family. To put it bluntly, you're using this matter to monopolize the Jun Family. If you succeed, you'll be the benefactor of the entire Jun Family. When that happens, won't they worship you? Whether it's the Jun Family or the Young Lord, who can surpass you? You've really played your cards very well! "
Those dirty thoughts that couldn't see the light of day were suddenly brought to light, and the old faces of the Jun Family flushed red.
"You … You're talking nonsense! You're clearly slandering me!"
"I'm sure you know very well whether or not I'm slandering you. Besides, I don't think the conditions discussed in this letter are necessarily what the Jun Family needs. "
She narrowed her eyes and delightfully exposed the Jun Family Elder's thoughts.
"Although the Jun Family doesn't have many members, it's already very rich after several generations of operation. Since that's the case, why do you still want ten thousand taels of gold in the letter?"
She slowly removed the Elder's disguise and laid it out for Jun Wuzhao to see.
She wanted him to know how unbearable the people he trusted and protected were.
A person wouldn't grow without experiencing hardships.
Whether he would live or die, break or rise, it all depended on his own choice.
"Moreover, the Lord was the one who arranged the marriage with you. The one who will inherit the position of Lord is also his disciple. Why do you still want to please the Deputy Lord if that's the case? Do you not know that the Deputy Lord is disloyal? Or do you think that he's more suitable to fulfill the Jun Family's marriage than the Lord? "
She stared at the Elder so that the guilt in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Let me guess. The Deputy Lord must've promised you that he'll give you an explanation after he inherits the position of Lord. But didn't the marriage contract state that the next Crown Prince of Wei Country must inherit the position of Lord in order to resolve the crisis of the Jun Family? Why did you make such a private agreement with the Deputy Lord? Of course, you can choose not to tell me now. I have plenty of ways to make you obediently tell me the truth as long as you don't scream in pain. "
The Elder's face was covered in cold sweat.
If these letters hadn't been dug out, he could've said that the other party had wrongly accused him. But now that the evidence was irrefutable, no matter how he quibbled, he would give himself away.
So he chose to keep his mouth shut.
Jun Wuzhao didn't want to care about these people anymore. He watched coldly as Gong Ya unraveled the Elder's plot bit by bit. The more he listened, the more powerless he felt.
He had lost all reason to persevere. Whether it was the clansmen, the marriage contract, or the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, it was all a lie.
He was a pathetic and laughable young master. He was just a useless piece of trash who was being played around by others.
Lin Mengya took out an envelope from her sleeve and waved it around. Sure enough, the Elder's face showed signs of nervousness.
"These things aren't enough to convict you. The most important thing is in this letter, right?"
The Elder suddenly rushed over and clawed at her through the fence.
"Give it to me! Give it to me! I'll agree to anything. Just give it to me! "
Looking at him, Lin Mengya knew that she had grasped his weak point.
From where she stood, he wouldn't be able to reach her no matter how hard he tried.
She opened the letter with ease. Then she curled her lips and said coldly, "Oh my, I didn't expect the Elder to be so dirty. You're really ruthless."
Even the despondent Jun Wuzhao was attracted by the Elder's words. He looked at her in confusion.
Lin Mengya pinched the thin piece of paper in her hand. Then, as if she was toying with him, she slowly said: "So your purpose is to seize the body of the Jun Family's young master, and openly take over everything of the Jun Family. The price you'll have to pay is that after you take over everything in the Jun family, you'll have to serve the deputy leader forever. "
The words on that piece of paper were enough to make Jun Wuzhao collapse.
His face darkened. "I didn't know that you coveted everything in the Jun family. Why did you do this? Did the Jun family do you wrong? Or did my father not value you enough? "
Jun Wuzhao had nothing to hide now that things had come to this. He tore off his disguise and shouted, "What do you mean by not value me enough? To put it bluntly, he's high and mighty, and I'm just his servant. Why does he have to monopolize the entire Jun family? Why is it that you're a respected young master when you're born, while my son was beaten to death because he made a small mistake? He made me cut off the last of my roots, so I will also destroy all of his hopes! He killed my son, so I want his body. It's only fair. "
Jun Wuzhao couldn't believe what he was saying. He said indignantly, "Your son didn't just make a small mistake. He killed an entire family for his own selfish desires. If my father doesn't punish him, how will he be able to face the spirits in heaven? He only has himself to blame for what happened to him. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Your son's life is important, but the lives of others aren't? "
His words made Lin Mengya think more highly of Jun Wuzhao. It seemed that even though he was hindered by his family's mission, he wasn't an idiot who had lost his conscience.
Just because of this sentence, she decided to give him a clear path.
However, the Family Elder was still stubbornly shouting, "Killing those lowly commoners is fine, but he is my son! Our Jun Family is noble by birth! How can the lives of those lowly commoners be compared to my son's life?"
Jun Wuzhao was so angry that he almost went berserk.
He pointed at the elder angrily, but he was so emotional that he couldn't say a word.
Lin Mengya said coldly, "According to your logic, your life is worthless in my eyes, so I can kill you. Come on, do it. "
She said it so casually, but the elder was so scared that he shouted, "You can't kill me! I'm an elder of the Jun family! If you kill me, you'll be going against the entire Jun family!"
Lin Mengya shrugged and pretended she didn't care. "So what if I have to go against the Jun family? No one knows you're here. Even if they do, the Gong family is like the sun in the sky. How many times do you think the Jun family can deal with us? "
She deliberately showed a disdainful look, as if the lives of the people in front of her were like ants on the ground that she could stomp on at any time.
The elder had always been high and mighty, waiting for people to beg him. This was the first time he felt fear.
He clearly realized that his life was in the hands of this woman in front of him.
"No, you can't kill me. I promise you, as long as you let me go, I'll do whatever you want!"
