Dowager Gu swallowed, but didn't dare to raise her head.
She knew very well that she was here to be used as a knife to kill people, but she had no other choice.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and stared blankly at the Gan Family's Patriarch.
"Yes, it was this old man who hired me. He told me to take good care of his daughter."
Dowager Gu's voice grew softer and softer, but her words caused the expressions of the Gan family to change slightly.
The Fourth Great Grandfather glanced at Patriarch Gan smugly, as if certain that victory was already in his grasp.
"What's the name of the girl he asked you to take care of? Where is she now? "
Dowager Gu hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said, "The child's name is Yu Hua. She's about thirty-five or thirty-six years old this year."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Who was Yu Hua?
It was clearly written on the tablet that she was the wife of the Gan family's second old master.
But if what Dowager Gu said was true, then the marriage between the Gan family's second old master and Yu Hua had broken the rules.
To the Gan family, it would definitely be a devastating scandal.
For a moment, the Gan family's expressions were very interesting.
As for the person involved, Family Head Gan, he had a bitter expression on his face.
The Fourth Great Grandfather glanced at the two brothers.
"Patriarch, do you admit to this matter or not?"
The facts were already in front of him, and there were even witnesses.
No matter what, Patriarch Gan couldn't deny it.
He closed his eyes, and all that was left in his heart was guilt towards Yu Hua and her daughter.
If he hadn't retreated back then, he wouldn't have what he had now.
"That child, indeed …"
"Patriarch Gan."
Just as Patriarch Gan was about to reveal the secret that had been hidden for many years, a clear voice interrupted him.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a delicate-looking little medicine boy.
The person walked forward with a polite and gentle smile on his face.
"This is your family's matter, and His Highness didn't want to interfere. However, seeing that you've been wrongly accused, and even ruined the reputation of the second madam, His Highness felt that he couldn't stay out of this. "
How could Patriarch Gan not know that His Highness wanted to help him?
However, this matter was already set in stone. He shook his head with a sour expression.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for speaking up for justice, but …"
"But do you really think that Second Madam is your daughter? Forgive me for asking, but before Second Madam married to Second Master, did you not see Second Madam for many years? "
Lin Mengya's attitude was very calm.
Seeing her like this, Gan Family Head actually had some hope.
With that thought in mind, he nodded.
"That's right. Regardless of what reason you had for abandoning them back then, I'm sure you'll understand. Before Second Madame and Second Master got to know each other, none of you knew about it. That being the case, I felt that though it was unreasonable, no one could be blamed for it. In my opinion, it's all fate's fault. "
After hearing her words, some of the more rational members of the Gan Family came to their senses.
But this was not the result that the Fourth Great Grandfather wanted.
He stared at Lin Mengya with an unfriendly look and said coldly, "Where did you come from? This is the Gan Family's business. How dare you butt in?"
"It's not someone else's turn to manage my people."
Neither did Long Tianhao.
It was a polite reply.
What could the Fourth Great Grandfather do?
As long as his wife wanted to do something, even the Jade Emperor could not stop her!
"Fourth Great Grandfather, don't be anxious."
Lin Mengya said with a fake smile.
She had long disliked this old man. He was obviously up to no good, but he still wanted to drag innocent people into it.
His methods were too dirty and could not be shown in public.
So, she could not help but take action.
"Everyone, the reason for the dispute today is because of the doubts about Second Madam's identity. May I ask, Fourth Great Grandfather, how can you be so sure that Second Madam is Master Gan's daughter? "
"Is there a need to ask?"
Gan Tonghai finally recovered, but it was a pity that he could not speak clearly, which made him even angrier.
"This old woman has already said that she was hired by Master Gan to take care of the mother and daughter. Don't tell me they can deny it? "
Lin Mengya shook her head and squatted down to look at Old Woman Gu.
"Granny, can you clearly tell everyone if that Second Madam Yu Hua is really Clan Head Gan's biological daughter?"
She deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence.
Sure enough, the old woman's eyes were a little flustered, and she finally said, "Of, of course, the Old Master himself said that she was his daughter."
"That's right, Master Gan entrusted you to take care of his daughter. But what happened after that that made you so bold to pass it off as the truth? "
"I, I don't understand what you are saying!"
The old woman was even more anxious, and her body trembled as she denied her words.
Lin Mengya was not angry, but pointed to the bright red words on the tablet and asked, "Then can you tell me what color the words are?"
Old Woman Gu trembled.
"I can't read."
"It doesn't matter if you can't read, but you should know the color, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes … I don't know, I don't know!"
Old Woman Gu did not know why she asked her this question, but her reaction made everyone feel very strange.
According to the Gan family's rules, the name on the tablet should be red for the first three years after entering the ancestral hall, and then black for the next three years.
Now, only Yu Hua's tablet was red, which should be known to everyone.
But why did the old woman react like this?
Lin Mengya smiled, stood up and looked at Dandan.
"Then, Dandan, tell me, what color are the words?"
Dandan looked at it for a while, and said very firmly, "They are gray!"
Everyone was surprised again.
Then Lin Mengya said a series of red objects, but Dandan did not get it right.
This made everyone dumbfounded.
On the other hand, Second Elder Wen's eyes flickered, but he resisted the urge to shout out loud.
"Master Gan, what color do you think it is?"
Old Master was also confused, and now he was very cautious and asked tentatively, "It is vermilion, right?"
"I think most of the people here know that it is vermilion. But why didn't the old maid and Dandan recognize this color? "
In fact, Lin Mengya had known that Dandan was blind to red and green.
Although Dandan could not distinguish between red and green, because of this, her vision was better than that of ordinary people in low light conditions.
Because of this, Dandan knew that someone wanted to harm her at night, and thus escaped countless schemes.
When Second Madam entered Childe Tu's body, Lin Mengya had unintentionally heard her sigh that the color of blood was red.
Color blindness was hereditary, and Second Old Master's vision was obviously normal.
Then the source of Dandan's color blindness must be Second Madam's.
Similarly, Master Gan's vision was normal, which meant that Second Madam's color blindness was inherited from her mother.
Of course, it was also possible that Yu Hua's mother had color blindness.
However, she discovered that Old Woman Gu and Dandan's facial features bore some resemblance to each other.
This made her have a bold guess.
As expected, she had guessed correctly!
"Master Gan, may I ask if Second Madam's mother could not recognize red like Dandan?"
Master Gan was quick-witted, and he had already figured it out.
He had already regained his composure. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Old Woman Gu with an uneasy expression.
"I remember that you have a son and a daughter, right? I don't know where they are now. You did a great job taking care of Yu Hua and her daughter for me. Why don't you bring them to the Gan Family? I have to thank you properly. "
At the mention of her children, the old woman could not stand it anymore, and she kept kowtowing.
"Master, please spare my life! Yes, it's because I was possessed and let my daughter replace Miss Yu Hua's position. I didn't mean it! "
The truth was revealed.
Second Old Master could not stand it any longer. He looked coldly at Fourth Old Master and Gan Tonghai, who had deliberately come to stir up trouble.
"Ha, have you two had enough? I think you are more like liars than witnesses! "
Old Woman Gu was also regretful, and she knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Second Old Master, Yu Hua is your wife after all. Even if you don't give me face, I have no other choice. My son is a failure, and he owes a lot of gambling debts. Please save our family on account of the fact that he and Madam came from the same womb! "
When it came to being shameless, this Old Maid Gu was well versed in it.
She had just been Fourth Old Master's accomplice, but in the blink of an eye, she was claiming to be related to Second Old Master.
Second Old Master could not be bothered with this heartless fellow.
He signaled to his confidant with his eyes, and the latter immediately stepped forward and dragged him out of the room.
With Old Woman Gu's confession, the Fourth Elder Master had lost his most powerful weapon.
However, it was clear that Patriarch Gan would not give him such a chance.
"What happened today is also related to my mistake."
The Gan Family Head looked at his younger brother with a relaxed expression.
"I have not been a good Master, so I have decided to step down. As for my younger brother, Gan Yi, although he is a little impulsive, he has been handling all the Gan Family matters while I have been recuperating in seclusion all these years. He is a fair and strict person, and is indeed someone who can take on great responsibility. From now on, he will be the new Master of the Gan Family. "
Gan Yi was stunned.
He did not expect that after so many things, his elder brother would still be willing to trust him.
But Gan Tonghai and Fourth Old Master would not let it go so easily.
"No way! The position of Master is very important, how can we let an illegitimate son of unknown origin inherit it? What's more, he had once wanted to rebel. Are you going to pretend that it never happened? "
Gan Tonghai's words were full of jealousy.
Who did not want the position of Master of the Gan Family?
The others had no objection, and Master Gan was in no position to explain for his younger brother.
At this moment, Long Tianhao, who had been in the background, smiled.
