She really wanted to pat her chest and promise Li Man that she would cure her.
However, she couldn't do that.
When Li Man saw Master Gong lowering his eyes and not saying a word, she understood what was going on.
There was a touch of disappointment in her eyes, but more of indifference.
"I'm just an ordinary person. I'm afraid of losing, so I choose not to gamble."
Maybe the women of the Gong Family were born rebellious, so Lin Mengya never thought of retreating in the face of all kinds of crises.
Perhaps before this, she was extremely likely to think that Li Man's attitude of giving up without a fight was cowardly.
But as a mother and a wife, she could understand Li Man's choice.
If she didn't gamble, Li Man would still have time to say goodbye to her children and lover.
She raised her head and looked at Li Man's smiling eyes.
She was a woman who lived a different life. Even if the end was doomed, Li Man still chose to hold her short life in her hands.
Lin Mengya heaved a deep sigh and felt relieved.
"I'll make some medicine for you and try to delay it."
Li Man's eyes were a little surprised, and a gentle smile appeared on her thin and pale face.
"I don't know why I always feel like old friends with you. Maybe it's because of fate. "
Lin Mengya held her hand.
"I have the same feeling. It's like I've met you before."
The two brave women looked at each other and smiled. Then Li Man was picked up by Ji Fangcun.
Looking at the two men holding the woman's hand, the family of three slowly walked on the road. The sunlight elongated their backs, and in the mottled light and shadow, they blended into one.
Lin Mengya couldn't help sighing in her heart.
Even if a woman like Li Man's body would be taken away by the god of death, time could let her be engraved in the hearts of everyone who had met her.
She shook her head and only felt that she was too sentimental.
She turned around and saw her husband sitting in a wheelchair, listening to the report of his men.
She walked to Long Tianhao, who subconsciously looked back at her and continued to deal with his work.
When he left, a pair of slender arms gently wrapped around his neck.
Long Tianhao patted her hand gently. He could feel that his wife was a little depressed.
"You didn't persuade him?"
"Hmm?"
She buried her head in his shoulder and answered in a muffled voice.
Long Tianhao stroked her little head to comfort her.
"Everyone has their own destiny. Li Man is a smart man. He knows what to choose."
His comforting words were still sincere, but Lin Mengya liked them.
She lifted her head and stared at her man's side profile.
"I think of my mother."
This was also the reason why she was so determined to help Li Man.
Long Tianhao was well aware of this. He grabbed her little hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Mother-in-law is a meticulous person. Even I might not be able to do what she did."
It was not that he was being humble.
Come to think of it, Ya 'er's journey was filled with her mother's foreshadowing.
A person's life was limited, but the Gong family had used the lives of countless generations to leave a path of survival for their descendants.
No matter how powerful he was, he could not compete with the collective wisdom of those people.
Although his Ya 'er had an unfortunate childhood, she was extremely lucky.
Behind her, there were countless brave and wise mothers who supported her silently.
Lin Mengya leaned on his chest.
"Speaking of which, Li Man is really like my mother. My father said that when he first met my mother, she was a heroine who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. Maybe I take after the 'brave' part of her character, while Li Man is more like the 'gentle' part of my mother. "
She was a girl who was born with a destiny. She spent all her time fighting against her destiny.
Even at the cost of withering, her mother still chose to marry the man she loved and left a son and a daughter.
Although her mother's life was short, she had never treated her badly.
She closed her eyes, and the gentle sunshine fell on her body. It was like a mother's gentle embrace, with strong warmth.
Looking at her quiet little face, Long Tianhao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
It was just that none of them had expected that this tender affection would not last until the next sunrise.
"Master, something happened!"
At midnight, Baisu knocked on their door with a cold face.
She was not awake yet, but Long Tianhao suddenly woke up and asked Baisu to come in.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as he sat up, Lin Mengya crawled out of the quilt with sleepy eyes.
Baisu stood in front of the bed and said in a low voice, "Ji Fangcun's wife is gone."
She hesitated for a few seconds, and then her drowsiness disappeared without a trace.
"Impossible! I have checked her pulse. She has at least half a year to live, and I have given her medicine before. She will not die so easily! "
Baisu's expression became more complicated.
"Madam Ji did not die of an illness — she was murdered!"
For a moment, Lin Mengya was stunned.
"Who did it?"
"The Sixth Young Master of the Elders Association!"
"What?"
Lin Mengya put on her clothes and followed Baisu straight to Ji Fangcun's residence.
She could not understand why the woman who could talk and laugh with her during the day became a dead woman in the middle of the night.
Ji Fangcun's family of three did not choose to stay in the big house with other people, but returned to their home.
It was a small but clean courtyard, but now there were many people coming in.
Baisu stood beside her and said to the crowd, "Please make way, my master is coming!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately opened up a path for her.
As soon as Lin Mengya arrived at the door of the house, she heard a few suppressed sobs coming from inside.
She hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
The central room was very bright, and she could see clearly.
The man's tall back looked lonely at this moment. He sat on the ground with his back to her, holding his wife's body in his arms.
Lin Mengya felt sad in her heart.
She walked over and squatted in front of them, only to see that Ji Fangcun's eyes were no longer bright.
"Ji Fangcun, you still have a child!" She reminded him in a low voice.
At this moment, his dull eyes finally showed some signs of life.
He was still looking at her in a daze, which made her heart tremble.
"Child, child … Xiaobao!"
Lin Mengya nodded and grabbed his shoulder hard.
"Yes, Xiaobao! Now that Li Man is gone, you are his only support, and he is also Li Man's blood. You have to take good care of Xiaobao, so that Li Man can rest assured! "
Although others had advised her to say this, she did not know why she was the only one who said it.
When she came out, Ji Fangcun finally reacted.
He had been staring at Lin Mengya.
Then suddenly, he put down his wife and staggered to get up, but because his legs and feet were numb, he fell several times.
"Master Gong."
The man stood at the door and suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"Can you help me find the real murderer who hurt Xiaobao?"
Lin Mengya pressed her lips tightly, looking serious.
"I will definitely hand him to you, so that you can personally avenge Li Man!"
The man's body shook heavily, but he did not say anything and walked out of the room.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but sigh.
It was not easy to get through the hellish days, how could such a thing happen?
Outside the room, Cai Ru only left a few people who had rushed here first, so that their master could examine it later.
Qinghu and Long Tianhao stood behind the crowd, with a trace of a heavy expression.
"Who do you think did it?"
It was rare for Qinghu to ridicule him as soon as he opened his mouth.
In some ways, they were definitely comrades in the same trench.
Although they disliked each other.
Long Tianhao subconsciously stroked the armrest of the wheelchair.
"Baisu just said it was the Sixth Young Master."
"But we did not find anything unusual. There are so many people here, and with the Sixth Young Master's skills, it is impossible for him to come and go without a trace!"
How could Long Tianhao not know?
But in his heart, there was another conjecture, which was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
"What if it has something to do with 'those people'?"
His voice was very low, but it made the two people speechless at the same time.
After a long time, Qinghu opened his mouth with difficulty.
"But if it is them … why would their target be that woman from the Li family?"
This was also what Long Tianhao was puzzled about.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Let's wait and see."
Qinghu bit his lips and looked at Long Tianyu with a pleading look in his eyes.
"I know you have made a lot of preparations, but nothing can be guaranteed to go wrong. I only beg you, if those people really want to hurt her, can you escape with her? "
Of course, Long Tianhao understood the "her" that Qinghu mentioned.
He suddenly clenched his five fingers and pinched the armrest.
"I will ensure her safety."
This was his promise, and also his responsibility.
Qinghu faintly sighed.
"I hope, they have not found out …"
What he said next was hidden in the night wind.
However, Long Tianhao's expression did not relax at all.
With the ability of those people, did they really not find out?
He lowered his eyes and kept calculating in his mind how much confidence he had in this.
Lin Mengya, who was in the room, did not know that the two people outside who cared about her the most had at this moment decided to build a safety net for her at the cost of their lives.
On the ground, there seemed to be no pain on Li Man's face.
However, her entire body was severely damaged.
What surprised Lin Mengya more was that all the blood in Li Man's body had been taken away. Her entire spine and half of the back of her head had been cut off with a sharp knife.
It was no wonder that when she entered the room, she did not see a large pool of blood.
Maybe this was not the scene of the crime.
