"I don't know either. Well, it's so noisy outside. We'll know tomorrow morning. Go to sleep."
Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, Long Tianhao had to press her into his arms.
They were tightly pressed together. Soon, the warm and familiar smell of Long Tianhao made her sleepy.
Thunder was rolling outside, but it was quiet and warm inside the room.
She slept until it was too bright.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the conversation between Long Tianhao and someone in the yard.
"After such a thing happened, the elderly master is also a little uneasy. If it's convenient, Your Highness, can you come with me to comfort the elderly master? "
Last night, the forbidden area of the Gan family was struck by lightning, which was indeed not a good omen for the Gan family.
Long Tianhao nodded and agreed to it.
He turned around and saw his wife, who was dressed in new clothes, stretching herself. Her eyes were red and she looked not very energetic.
"How did you sleep?" He pushed himself over and asked softly.
She nodded.
"Not bad. By the way, why did the elderly master of the Gan family look for you?"
"Oh, probably because he was uneasy, so he wanted me to help him suppress the flame poison."
The thing he brought was called "Dark Ice Iron Jade". Although it was an extremely cold thing, it could only be found in extremely hot places.
Therefore, this thing could suppress the flame poison, but it would bring a sense of warmth when it was extremely cold. If it was not used for a long time, it would not easily cause frostbite.
This couldn't be better for the current elderly master of the Gan family.
But Long Tianhao had always been cautious.
He didn't trust the Gan family because of what happened to the second elder of the Gan family.
Therefore, he told the elderly master that this thing must be done step by step and confirmed before he could give it to him.
The elderly master was also anxious, so he agreed to his request.
However, he didn't lie.
Old Patriarch Gan might have looked comfortable the first time, but as time went on, the effect of this thing became more and more limited.
If he really wanted to live for two more years, he still hoped that his wife would take care of him.
"Then I'll go with you."
Lin Mengya was not afraid to see the second elder of the Gan family.
If she disappeared now, she was afraid that everyone would know that it was the second elder of the Gan family.
In this way, she would be much safer.
When the two of them entered the Gan family's old patriarch's courtyard, it was slightly different from the last time.
Lin Mengya looked around and whispered in Long Tianhao's ear, "I didn't see these people guarding the door last time, and the two people who stopped me are gone."
How should I put it?
The last time he was here, this place looked like an ordinary place for the elderly to rest.
But this time, he had the grandeur of a head of a family.
Just as she was curious about these changes, Gan Pei, the old patriarch's most trusted steward, also came over with a smile.
"My family's patriarch has been waiting for you for a long time. Your Highness, please follow me."
Long Tianhao nodded slightly and let her push him in.
As a servant, Gan Pei was one step behind Lin Mengya.
"Little brother, I'm really sorry for what happened last time."
Was he talking about Second Elder Gan imprisoning her?
Lin Mengya shook her head cautiously.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, this little one can be at ease."
Gamper smiled kindly at her.
"You're right. Since it's a misunderstanding, it's better to clear it up. By the way, I've prepared something for you to calm down. Now it's here.
Your room is ready. "
Lin Mengya was even more surprised.
"I dare not. Steward Gan, you don't have to spend so much money."
"Of course, of course. Little brother, you're broad-minded and don't want to haggle over it, so you should accept our gifts."
In the end, she had to accept it.
But she couldn't help feeling suspicious.
What was wrong with the Gan family? Why were they so polite to her, a nobody?
They were totally different from Second Elder Gan's attitude before!
Soon, the two of them arrived at the inner room.
The old patriarch of the Gan family looked a little dispirited until he saw them, or to be exact, he saw the small wooden box in Long Tianhao's arms.
"Little friend Murong, you're finally here!"
The way he addressed her was so intimate that it gave her goosebumps.
Although she knew that they would be friends despite the age gap.
But the old patriarch's friendliness made her feel inexplicably embarrassed.
Obviously, the old patriarch was in the same generation as her master and they had dealt with each other before.
Even if they hit it off, he shouldn't lower his seniority in this way.
In the end, he just coveted the benefits that her man could bring to her.
"Is the old patriarch well?" He asked calmly.
"Alas, how can I be well? Our family is unfortunate, so God punished us. I, I don't know how to face our ancestors! "
In the forbidden area of the Gan family, in addition to some things that were passed down from generation to generation, there were also ancestral tablets.
But this time, the lightning struck the house, so that the ancestral hall where the tablets were kept was completely destroyed.
Now, they had lost their ancestors.
For the Gan family, especially the old patriarch, it was more painful than death.
Long Tianhao also sighed.
"My condolences."
"I know. I only hope that Old Ancestor can put all the blame on me. Don't implicate my Gan Clan because of this."
It was not appropriate for the old patriarch to talk more about this topic.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Long Tianhao's bodyguard personally treated him this time.
Lin Mengya also stood behind the old patriarch with the guard.
Under the gray clothes, the old patriarch was emaciated. It was obvious that he could not bear the torture.
What was even stranger was that his entire back was an unhealthy greenish-gray color.
Yu said that when the old patriarch was young, he often slept on a special ice bed in order to restrain the flame poison.
Over the years, his blood was always in a low temperature environment, so it was easy to have poor blood circulation. In the worst case, it might even cause necrosis.
But the flame poison was still raging in his body, torturing him constantly.
"Hiss —"
The old patriarch couldn't help but take a deep breath when the Dark Ice Iron Jade touched his back.
Then, his body trembled slightly.
"What's wrong, Patriarch?"
Gan Pei was a little anxious.
The old patriarch didn't react like this last time!
The old patriarch waved his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Nothing. Sorry to trouble you. Let's start."
The young man nodded and continued to massage the acupoints.
Lin Mengya could spy on the symptoms of the old patriarch when the poison acted up.
His skin, which was greenish-gray just a moment ago, was now faintly dark red.
Then, red or purple dots began to appear on his body.
The guard
The young man sped up.
As the Mysterious Ice Iron Jade pressed down, the dots gradually disappeared.
But there would be a small white mark on the old patriarch's skin.
Was this the flame poison that had tortured the old patriarch for a lifetime?
Lin Mengya stared at his back, not daring to miss any details.
On the other side, as the burning sensation caused by the flame poison subsided, the old patriarch's tense expression gradually relaxed.
He asked Long Tianhao to play chess with him to divert his attention.
After they set up the chessboard, the old patriarch let out a long sigh.
"I really envy the Old Hall Master for having such a talented person like you as his successor. If the descendants of the Gan family could be one percent as good as you, I wouldn't have to worry about them at this age. "
These words were not entirely flattery to Long Tianhao.
Although before he fell, he already had a few candidates in mind for the position of successor.
But without experience, he still didn't know that these people were simply spoiled by the family.
If the Gan family was handed over to them, it would not be far from being swallowed by others.
"Old patriarch, you are being modest."
Long Tianhao picked up a black chess piece and gently placed it down.
"Everyone has their own fate. You don't have to worry. Just take good care of yourself."
"I also want to! But look, such a big thing happened in the family. What else did they do apart from making a fuss? "
Speaking of this, he was angry.
"I originally thought that the second elder was a stable person, but now it seems that he is also ambitious!"
He entrusted the wrong person, especially his own brother.
This made the old patriarch even angrier, so he triggered the flame poison in advance.
Long Tianhao lowered his head and fixed his eyes on the chessboard.
"Second Master is your brother, so you should know him the best. Besides, how can there be overnight hatred between brothers? "
The old patriarch of the Gan family's expression changed several times.
In the end, he could only shake his head with a sad look.
"You may know a person for a long time, but you don't know his heart! Ouch! "
The old patriarch's painful cry scared Gan Pei half to death.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
As he supported the elderly patriarch, he saw that the kid who had behaved so obediently on the way here was actually poking the elderly patriarch's back with his finger.
"What are you doing?" Gan Pei asked angrily.
Lin Mengya looked up blankly and said, "Nothing. I saw the old patriarch sweating, so I wanted to help him wipe it."
His expression was as innocent as it could be.
Finally, the old patriarch waved his hand.
"Gan Pei, forget it. It's not your fault if you don't know. Little lad, my flame poison is too powerful. When the poison takes effect, you can't stand any heat. "
Lin Mengya nodded.
"I'm really sorry, please forgive me, Old Patriarch."
The old patriarch did not want to make a fuss about it, for fear of ruining the relationship with Long Tianhao, so he let it go.
But Lin Mengya was driven back behind Long Tianhao by Gan Pei's look.
She lowered her head silently, and on the surface, it seemed that she was sincerely repentant.
But in fact, she was communicating with him in Morse code behind his back.
"The old patriarch's flame poison is really strange. Try to delay as much as possible. I just got some data, and now I'm using the system to analyze it."
After learning of her request, Long Tianhao's hand, which was on the chessboard, responded gently.
"Okay."
The chess game began to become more and more intense. This time, the old patriarch of the Gan family did not dare to be distracted.
