Old Master Fang was still reading the letter. After a while, he opened his mouth.
"Yes."
"Do you have any other orders, Master?" the butler asked eagerly.
Old Master Fang ignited the letter and threw the ashes into the teacup.
"Our young mistress should be back by now, right?"
The housekeeper said with a smile, "Yes, I heard that Master Gu also brought the young master along this time. I don't know how long he will stay with us this time. "
At the mention of his daughter and grandson, a smile finally appeared on Old Master Fang's face.
But he seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of coldness leaked out from his eyes.
"It's too chaotic out there recently. Don't let anyone leak anything that Rao shouldn't know."
The butler knew his master's taboo, so he said cautiously, "Don't worry, Master. No one will mention this to Young Mistress."
"That's good. You can leave now."
After the butler left, Old Master Fang was still sitting in his chair, thinking about the information he had just received in the letter.
"That bastard from the Huo family. Hmph, he was lucky to not die back then. How dare he come to the aboriginals!"
The next moment, Old Master Fang turned the mechanism on the bookshelf.
Then, the entrance to a secret room appeared in front of him.
He quickly walked in.
The door was tightly shut once more. No one knew just how many bloodstained conspiracies were hidden inside.
After sending the Fang family away, Lin Mengya and the others couldn't let their guard down.
The person they had let go had been taken away by his companions.
Although their people had been watching closely from behind, they still had no way of finding out who that person was for the time being.
What surprised her the most was that the person didn't continue to pester them. Instead, he chose to leave.
But something happened that made her heart sink.
Those people actually had contact with the Zhao family!
"They must have recognized us, so they want to take us to the Zhao family to exchange for the reward!"
Wu Ying was still worried.
But it was useless. The two big Buddhas didn't move, especially Lin Mengya.
Not only did she not look like she wanted to escape, but she also started to plant flowers excitedly.
"What's the rush? We'll deal with it when it comes. Wu Ying, what do you think of my flowers? "
Wu Ying was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat. He was not in the mood to appreciate her flowers.
"No, I have to tell Boss about this and let him help you think of a way."
Looking at his hurried back, Lin Mengya couldn't help shaking her head with a smile.
"To think that he's a military adviser. He can't even keep his cool."
Beside her, Long Tianhao was carrying a large basin of water.
He looked at his wife tenderly.
"Ignore him. My wife really has a pair of deft hands. It's clearly just an unremarkable wildflower. How is it that in your hands, it's even more beautiful than a peony?"
"Right! You have good taste. "
Lin Mengya did not know the meaning of modesty at all. She even felt a little complacent.
After watering all the flowers, she took her husband to wash his hands and returned to the Huo family's study.
"I didn't expect those people to be in contact with the Zhao Clan. But that's fine too. The friend of our enemy is our enemy. If they dare to come, I'll cook them all in one scoop. "
Long Tianhao's words sounded heroic, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't think they would dare to come here directly."
Lin Mengya glanced at her man.
"Boring."
She thought that she could tease her man like Wu Ying did.
But that person didn't give her a chance at all!
"That's enough. I have telepathy with you, Madam."
Lin Mengya pretended to be disgusted, "Who wants to have a telepathic connection with you?"
Long Tianhao smiled and said nothing.
In fact, it was easy to guess.
The other party's men were very familiar with the Huo Clan, but they sent a group of thieves to steal from the Huo Clan.
Obviously, they didn't want others to notice the secret of the Huo Clan.
Those thieves didn't know anything. Even if they were caught, there was no way to tell who the mastermind was.
Even if the other party knew the Zhao Clan, so what?
Unless they wanted to share the secret with the Zhao Clan.
However, those thieves and the last assassin were here to silence them.
This showed that the other party's purpose was to take everything for themselves.
Therefore, although they had to guard against the other party's sneak attack at any time, at the same time, the other party would also keep this secret.
It had to be said that in some aspects, their enemy wanted to keep this place a secret more than they did.
After being pointed out by Lin Mengya, Wu Ying suddenly realized that he was a little too impatient.
He locked himself in the room and after a good reflection, he finally regained his lost reason.
At the same time, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao also learned some new information.
"The Sheng Clan was not divided by those families, but taken back by the Elders. As for those families, I don't know why they all agreed. "
Long Tianhao's news came in time.
After Lin Mengya heard it, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"I thought they would fight because they couldn't divide the loot evenly. Now it seems that the Elders are quite capable."
Although their people had spread a lot of news, after the Elders Council personally arrived, those families received orders from their respective Patriarchs.
Now, although they still fought over some loot, the situation had basically stabilized.
This was what they didn't want to see.
"They are just exchanging a greater benefit for their immediate benefit."
Long Tianhao had seen this kind of trick many times when he was a child.
Lin Mengya was also a little curious.
"How great the benefit is that they gave up this opportunity?"
Long Tianhao shook his head.
These things were too confidential, and they were ordered by the masters of each family to come with the Elders.
It could be imagined that the reason why the Elders Guild had arrived so late was because they had gone to persuade the various families.
"What about the Zhao Family?" This was what she was most concerned about.
Now that the Zhao Family believed that they were the murderers, they were looking for them like mad dogs.
Long Tianhao stroked her long hair.
"Don't worry, they can't find us."
Lin Mengya leaned her head on her husband's shoulder.
"We don't have any evidence now, otherwise I wouldn't be afraid of them."
If they fought head-on, they might not lose.
But if they did so, they would be hated by the aboriginals.
This was not what she wanted to see.
"There will be."
Long Tianhao kissed her forehead with a firm look in his eyes.
As long as it was something that his wife wanted to accomplish, he would get rid of all obstacles.
No one could stand in her way.
In the next few days, the Huo Family's old house was peaceful.
After six days, everyone's injuries were almost healed.
The Fang Family sent someone to ask for money again.
But this time, the person brought a piece of news.
"What? We can only stay here for another five days? Why is that? "
Lin Mengya was a little surprised.
According to the other party's greed, the longer she stayed here, the more money he would get.
How could he be willing to chase them away?
The person looked at the money and felt his heart ache.
One should know that the money this time could last them for half a year.
For this reason, he secretly revealed a piece of news to Lin Mengya.
"It's not that we want to chase away the living god of wealth, but our Eldest Miss wants to come here to pay her respects. Sigh, the Fang Family is a big family with a lot of rules. Please forgive us, Miss. "
Although she had already guessed it, she still asked, "Who is your Eldest Miss?"
"Fang Rao is also the Zhao Family's madam. She is our Eldest Miss."
The person looked quite proud when he introduced her.
But Lin Mengya was a little surprised.
Aunt Fang was the Zhao Family's madam!
How much did she know about Zhao Jian?
"Alright, I got it. Don't worry, we will disappear without a trace. "
The person thanked her profusely and left.
Lin Mengya told the news to Long Tianhao and Wu Ying.
Long Tianhao was still calm, but Wu Ying was surprised.
"I only knew that Aunt Fang got married again, but I didn't expect it to be the Zhao Family!"
Long Tianhao knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair subconsciously and said, "Does the Zhao Family know about the relationship between Huo Xiao and Fang Rao?"
Wu Ying immediately reacted and his face became more and more gloomy.
"I'm not very sure either. Uncle Huo and Aunt Fang's marriage was seen as a disgrace by the Fang Family and was not allowed to spread it. So apart from us, not many people know about it. "
If the fortune-tellers knew about it, then it was not a secret.
The Fang Family had Fang Rao, but the Zhao Family might also have someone who married outside the family.
If the Zhao Family knew about the relationship between Huo Xiao and Fang Rao, it would not be easy to send Zhao Jian to deal with Huo Xiao.
"Should we leave?" Long Tianhao asked for Lin Mengya's opinion.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said, "These days, we will find a way to meet Aunt Fang secretly. I think she will help us."
She had to find out how Aunt Fang felt about the Zhao Family first.
And what was the relationship between Zhao Jian and Aunt Fang?
The Zhao Family might have something to do with the Zhao Family.
If Aunt Fang was willing to help them, wouldn't it be easier for them?
After the three of them discussed, Wu Ying took Long Tianhao to find a more secluded place to stay for the time being.
Lin Mengya took Qinghu to the Fang Family.
It was only half a day's walk from the fortune-teller town to the Fang Family.
But along the way, Lin Mengya felt a vague sense of alienation from Qinghu.
"You …"
When she was about to speak, Qinghu took out a pot of water and handed it to her.
"You must be thirsty after half a day's journey. Have a sip of water first, I'll go ahead and explore the way. "
Seeing that it was near the Fang Family's territory, Lin Mengya did not object.
But she held the pot, and her eyes fell on Qinghu, who was getting farther and farther away.
She was sure that Qinghu had recovered.
But why was he not as close to her as before?
There seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them.
She tried hard to break through, but Qinghu was consciously avoiding her.
