Unfortunately, the happy time of gossip was always so short.
They had just arrived at the territory of the Zhao Family, but the news flew to the ears of those who were interested.
Aunt Lan, who came uninvited, came to invite Fang Rao with an ugly expression.
"Elder Miss, Madam Jing has brought people to welcome us."
When she said this, Aunt Lan's tone was somewhat unhappy.
Madam Jing was just Elder Zhao's concubine, but now she put on the airs of an official Madam. What did she think of Miss Lin?
In the past, she and Miss Lin thought that she was very dutiful, but now it seemed that she was just a vixen who wanted to be promoted.
However, Fang Rao didn't seem to care.
She turned around and said to Lin Mengya gently, "You don't have to worry now that we are here. Take care of your injuries, I'll be back soon."
Thinking that this was a family matter, Lin Mengya didn't want to interrupt. She just nodded, indicating that she didn't have to worry about her.
Because she had to recuperate, although her ears weren't as sensitive as before, she still had the ability to read lips.
A few carriages away, she saw Aunt Fang and Aunt Lan talking to Madam Jing, who came to welcome them.
Although this wife and concubine looked amiable on the surface, in fact, they had secretly argued several times when they first met.
She was watching with great interest, but she didn't know why, but as the conversation went on, she became the topic of conversation.
Madam Jing covered her mouth and didn't know what to say.
The next moment, Aunt Fang's expression didn't look right, and even darkened, as if she was very dissatisfied with Madam Jing.
But looking at Madam Jing's fearless look, she knew that she must have come prepared.
Lin Mengya rested her chin on her hand, trying to guess her intentions.
What kind of evil plan was he harboring?
Soon, Long Tianhao arrived in front of her carriage.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and threw a look at the two parties who were negotiating in front of her.
Long Tianhao immediately understood and raised his head to tell his wife the truth.
"Madam Jing was ordered by the Zhao Family Elder to arrest the killer who tried to assassinate the Elder."
Killer?
Lin Mengya couldn't help but smile.
What a coincidence.
The killer could be arrested at any time, but why did they have to block his wife's carriage to search?
From this, it could be seen that arresting people was not an act, but finding fault with them was the real deal.
She knocked on the carriage to communicate with him. "Tell Aunt Fang that if they want to search, they can come and search. Anyway, if anyone dares to do anything under our nose, it's her own bad luck."
Long Tianhao couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice, "Madam is right."
Perhaps Long Tianhao had personally spoken to Aunt Fang. Although the negotiation between the two parties was not pleasant, they were the first to take a step back and accept the inspection.
Soon, someone went to search her carriage.
The person in the lead was a middle-aged man who looked quite shrewd. Aunt Lan followed closely behind him, her face calm as she repeatedly emphasized to the other party.
"This is my madam's niece. She's timid and doesn't know how to speak. Be quiet, lest you frighten our young lady!"
When those people heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little fearful.
However, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the lead flashed and he said, "Of course, but they are living people. The clan elder had said that strangers had to be more careful. Besides, we're just checking if she's the murderer. Naturally, we won't frighten people. "
Aunt Lan was quite displeased, but there was nothing she could do. She could only secretly note it down. When the elder came back, she would fiercely complain.
When the middle-aged man saw that it was a delicate little girl, he felt that this was really a great opportunity.
At that moment, he secretly gave his men a look.
The latter immediately understood and blocked him with his body.
The man gave Lin Mengya an inexplicable smile.
"You really can't speak?"
Lin Mengya tilted her head and blinked.
The middle-aged man continued to ask patiently, "If you can speak, just say it, and I'll let you go, okay?"
Listening to the man's child-like tone, Lin Mengya felt strange.
She pointed to her throat and shook her head.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face deepened.
"It seems that you really can't speak, but it doesn't matter if you can speak. Soon, you won't be able to speak anymore."
These words were full of danger.
Lin Mengya's whole body was on guard, but at this moment, she saw the man take out a tattered bloody robe, and then casually stuffed it into her luggage.
In an instant, she understood the man's intention.
This was a blatant framing!
But at this time, she had no time to react. She only heard the man suddenly say loudly, "Guards, I've found the assassin's bloody robe. Guards, take her down for me!"
The man's eyes flashed with a smug look.
On the contrary, his tone was urgent and vigilant, as if he was really facing a formidable enemy.
"How dare you resist stubbornly! Let's see where you can run this time! "
As he spoke, the man actually sinisterly pulled out a short knife hidden at his waist and pounced towards her.
It was obvious that he was ready to kill her!
At this moment, Lin Mengya, who was like a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered, suddenly revealed a faint smile.
That smile was really too strange. Even the middle-aged man, who had long made up his mind to kill, was shocked.
In such a short moment, a long silver sword broke through the window.
The woman holding the sword was several times stronger than the man's martial arts.
With a stab and a slash, the man's hand, which was still holding the short knife, was cut off by her.
"Ah — —"
A horrifying scream was heard.
Because the man's men were blocking the horse carriage door, everyone present did not know what had happened.
By the time they reacted, the man had already fainted.
And Baisu, who had a cold face, held a long sword and stood guard by Lin Mengya's side.
"What's going on? What have you done? "
Fang Rao was the first to object. She hurriedly ran over and started denouncing those lackeys.
"Let me tell you, everyone here is my family, and they are all elders! Now you don't even listen to the elders, what do you want? Do you want to rebel? "
Fang Rao's harsh words and stern expression made these people panic.
After all, this was different from the ending they had imagined.
For a moment, those people were stunned on the spot. One look and they knew that there was a problem.
The anger in Fang Rao's eyes was almost tangible.
Today, she finally understood. After all this time, as an assassin, this chase was all prepared for her.
Instantly, this madam who had been in charge of the Zhao Family's backyard for more than ten years finally lost her temper and scolded the group of people.
In the end, even Madam Jing tried to refute, but Fang Rao retorted in a domineering manner.
Go.
This was the first time that Madam Jing had been humiliated in front of so many people.
At that moment, she could not help but grit her teeth and bring out her backing.
"Sister, this is Fourth Uncle's order. Don't tell me that you don't even care about him? "
But this time, Fang Rao only laughed coldly and said mercilessly, "Is that so? Then let him tell me himself. Let me tell you, Old Master is the head of this family. Fourth Uncle, let him enjoy his old age! "
After all these years of suppressing her anger, it was not something that Madam Jing could withstand.
She saw with her own eyes that the middle-aged man was kicked out of the carriage by the maidservant who was holding the long sword. Then, it was the broken hand that was still holding the dagger.
At this moment, the man who had been sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a silver mask silently pressed down on the unconscious middle-aged man.
"Go back and tell your elders that if you dare to lay a hand on my wife, I will personally make you pay for it."
That voice was so cold that Madam Jing felt as if she was in the coldest winter.
As the carriage swaggered off, Madam Jing could not help but bite her lip. Her heart was beating wildly.
These useless things!
They could not even handle such a small matter.
"Carry him, let's go!"
In the end, she could only leave with the crippled man.
Along the way, they did not meet with any more obstacles.
There was still the smell of fresh blood in the carriage. She could not be bothered to stay in the carriage any longer and wanted to get out for some fresh air.
Pushing Long Tianhao's wheelchair, they walked and stopped along the way. They had a general view of this small town named "Chunfeng".
A small family like the Fang Family could not be compared to the Zhao Family. Even the Sheng Family was slightly inferior to the Zhao Family.
This was not only because of Zhao Yixuan's position in the Elders Council.
According to Aunt Lan, Elder Zhao Yixuan was actually a prodigy in business.
In just ten years, he had multiplied the Zhao Family's business several times.
Now, some of the economic lifelines of the Elders Council were in his hands.
It was no wonder that such a talent would be valued so much.
In Chunfeng City, everyone seemed to be living a good life.
However, when they arrived at Elder Zhao's mansion, she felt a little strange.
She tapped Long Tianhao's shoulder and asked, "Don't you think this Zhao Mansion looks a little familiar?"
Long Tianhao squinted and took a closer look. It was true.
"It looks a little like the old mansion of the Huo Family."
"It seems that Elder Zhao has really put in a lot of effort for Aunt Fang." She sighed.
However, Long Tianhao had a different view.
"What's the use of this? It will still make Madam Zhao think of him. If it were me, a dead person would be a dead person. I won't allow the heart of the person I love to be completely filled with a dead person. My greatest advantage is that I'm alive. "
Hearing this, Lin Mengya could not help but pinch him.
This person was really special!
Didn't they say that the dead were the most undefeatable? He was doing the opposite.
"Madam, you're finally back! Go and inform Old Madam that you're back! "
When the butler who opened the door saw Fang Rao, his face immediately lit up.
On the other hand, Fang Rao's face immediately darkened when she heard the words "Old Madam".
"Which Old Madam?" She asked.
The butler looked a little embarrassed and whispered, "It's Old Master's biological mother."
