Although Lin Mengya wanted to see Elder Zhao as soon as possible, she still knew to avoid people.
This was the path she took every time she met Elder Zhao. It was remote and deserted.
She did not expect that the path that brought her convenience in the past had now become the perfect place for someone to harm her.
Lin Mengya realized that she was being followed when she was halfway through the path.
She had always been careful. Even if she was distracted by the fact that Yu could stand up again, she would definitely notice that she was being followed.
Unless they saw her by chance.
She continued to pretend that nothing had happened and quickened her pace without leaving a trace.
The person following her also quickened his pace.
He probably wanted to get rid of her before she walked out.
Her mind was racing. Just when she reached a corner, she suddenly dodged to the side.
The person following her also quickened his pace. Just when they caught up, Lin Mengya suddenly made a move.
She was extremely fast. She raised her hand and several silver needles burst out.
The two people did not have time to dodge and were immediately hit.
Then there were two muffled sounds. A man and a woman fell in front of her, caught off guard.
Lin Mengya heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the two guys had completely lost consciousness.
She finally had the time to take a closer look.
The man looked very unfamiliar. But judging from his clothes, he did not look like a servant of the Zhao Family.
As for this woman, she knew her.
She was the wife of one of the kitchen stewards.
Every time she went to ask for information, this wife would also be there.
But every time, this woman was like her, quietly listening to others and never interrupting. Her presence was also very low.
Who would have thought that this seemingly honest and slow person would have the guts to meet with another man in the backyard in secret?
But the two of them were neatly dressed and did not look like they were up to no good.
After thinking for a while, she put away the silver needles and left quietly.
But she did not know that not long after she left, Miss Xu 'er came late.
"I asked you two to go after someone. Why did it take so long?"
She was muttering with some dissatisfaction. But when she followed the traces to find the two people, they were already unconscious.
Startled, he hurriedly went forward to wake him up.
The two of them were also dumbfounded. They had no idea what had just happened.
Until Xu'er asked them if they had found the person who was eavesdropping on their conversation.
The two of them stammered for a long time before reluctantly expressing that they did not see what the person looked like.
They only saw that the woman who was eavesdropping was wearing the clothes of a maid of the Zhao Family, and her figure was slightly slender.
Xu 'er's face darkened.
"No matter what, we can't let anyone else know about this."
She ordered the housekeeper's wife, "You, help me find that troublesome girl."
Once he found the culprit, he naturally had to kill him to silence him.
The housekeeper's wife didn't dare to say anything. After all, this was related to the lives of her entire family.
Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a little regretful.
If, if he hadn't coveted those silvers, he wouldn't have been controlled by others.
She walked out of the path and arrived at the door of Elder Zhao's study.
She looked around to make sure that no one was around, and then, as promised, knocked on the door rhythmically.
Soon, Elder Zhao opened the door and welcomed her in.
The study was obviously more messy than before. Even if she did not deliberately look at the extra things, she could see that there were some old account books spread out.
Elder Zhao did not hide anything from her, but his eyes were a little bloodshot and there were dark circles under his eyes.
Obviously, he had not been having a good time these few days.
"Why did you come at this time?"
Elder Zhao asked her to sit on the only empty chair, but he stood by the desk and stretched his sore limbs and waist.
Lin Mengya calmed down.
Elder Zhao suddenly remembered that her throat could not speak, and hurriedly found a blank piece of rice paper for her, but failed.
"Don't bother, I can speak now."
Elder Zhao was taken aback.
Although the voice was very hoarse and a little unclear, he could hear it clearly.
He looked at Lin Mengya with a surprised face, "Your voice has recovered?"
She shook her head, "I can barely speak, or it may be like this for the rest of my life."
Therefore, in front of others, she still would not open her mouth.
Elder Zhao nodded his head regretfully.
To be honest, he admired this young man very much.
After thinking for a while, he struggled to find a few clean rice papers from the layers of account books and put them in her hand.
"It's better to take care of it."
Lin Mengya smiled and thanked him for his kindness.
She quickly wrote down the purpose of her visit on the Xuan paper. At the same time, she told him that Duan Ruxuan's savior was Long Tianhao.
Elder Zhao was not surprised to know that the man was sitting in a wheelchair, but he was very afraid of him.
In fact, he also wanted to leave everything and go to find his wife.
Therefore, he could more or less understand the other party's feelings.
"What do you want the hot spring for?"
Zhao Yixuan casually asked after reading the words on the paper.
Lin Mengya gave him a simple explanation.
In fact, it was to use the buoyancy of the water to reduce the pressure on Long Tianhao's legs.
In this way, he could minimize the damage to his legs when he exercised.
Moreover, the hot spring also had a healing effect on his injuries, so it was the most suitable for the initial recovery treatment.
"I didn't expect that he could stand up. It's really a double blessing! I remember there's a hot spring not far from the city. I'll ask someone to send him there tomorrow. You can come back every two days, and I'll arrange everything for you. "
In fact, he had found the hot spring long ago to please his wife.
But at that time, his wife was so tired of him that she refused to be nice to him, so naturally, she did not go there.
Although it was a pity that someone else got there first, it was better than no one showing interest in it.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.
Unexpectedly, Elder Zhao waved his hand and looked at her with burning eyes.
"I heard that the master of the Gong Family is a business genius, so it's not difficult for you to manage the accounts of the big chamber of commerce, right?"
Lin Mengya was about to nod, but she suddenly stopped.
Wait!
When did she reveal her identity in front of Elder Zhao?
Moreover, with Zhao Jian's matter, she and Aunt Fang had already discussed that they would only confess to Elder Zhao when they had concrete evidence in their hands.
Who would have thought that she would fall off the horse now?
This was too sudden!
The shock on her face seemed to please Elder Zhao.
He could not help but laugh a few times, looking very pleased.
"You youngsters, do you really think that I'm old? Actually, when Zhao Jian was killed, I had already sent people to investigate all of you. Your husband, Murong Xi, is also the Lord, and because of his leg injury, he has been sitting in a wheelchair. And you, the master of the Gong Family, Gong Ya, are very beautiful, but your methods are very strange, and you often do things that don't make sense. "
Since she had been exposed, she might as well admit it openly.
"You're right, but about Zhao Jian —"
Lin Mengya's explanation was interrupted by Elder Zhao.
"If I still had some doubts about you before, after seeing you, I don't have any doubts anymore." His tone was serious, and it seemed that he was telling the truth.
Lin Mengya was confused.
Elder Zhao said in a low voice, "If you want to kill that useless Zhao Jian, I'm afraid there are thousands of ways that we won't be able to find out. Moreover, I also want Zhao Jian's life. "
The last few words seemed to be filled with deep hatred.
Lin Mengya did not know about the internal conflicts in the Zhao Family, but she was surprised that Elder Zhao trusted her and her husband so much.
"Oh yes, since we've been honest with each other, Miss Gong, can you do me a favor?" Elder Zhao suddenly asked.
Lin Mengya nodded.
Then, she saw Elder Zhao as if he had found his savior, smiling as he piled the account books on the table in front of her.
"Then please help me check the account books, Miss Gong!"
Lin Mengya lowered her head and saw the thick pile of account books, and her throat tightened.
"That …"
She was just about to find an excuse when she heard Elder Zhao say helplessly, "I know this is indeed a little difficult for Miss Gong, but my energy is really limited. Moreover, we're in the same boat, Miss Gong, you don't want to see me die of exhaustion, do you? After all, I'm also at the age where I know my destiny. Sigh, with this body, I don't know how much longer I can last. "
The resentment in her tone, if one did not know better, would think that she had done something unforgivable.
Moreover, Lin Mengya glanced at the other party's still strong and healthy body, she could not help but despise this kind of forceful act of taking advantage of his seniority.
However, the other party could be considered as her elder, and the number of account books was really too large.
Most importantly, he had just agreed to help her, she could not burn the bridge after crossing the river, right?
Pursing her lips, she casually picked up the account book and helplessly wrote.
"Alright, alright, I'll help you. May I know what you want to check?"
Seeing that the strong worker was in place, Elder Zhao was immediately overjoyed.
"Thank you Miss Gong! Actually, what I want to check is very simple, these are the accounts that I've recorded since I took over the business between the Zhao Family and the Elder Guild. I've told you before that the artificial limbs are most likely custom-made through the Elder Guild. But that family did not make them for free, and even if they relied on the quota of the Elder Guild, the annual maintenance fees would also be sky-high. I think that such a large sum of money can't have appeared out of thin air, right? "
Lin Mengya understood what he meant, but at the same time, she had a question.
"How can you be so sure that the money for the artificial limbs will be paid from your income?"
Hearing her words, Elder Zhao's face gradually darkened.
