This was originally a small city near the border of the Zhao Family's territory. However, after Zhao Yixuan chose to make this his base camp, this place gradually surpassed the main city of the Zhao Family.
Now, who in the aboriginals didn't know that the Zhao Family could be so proud because of Zhao Yixuan, Elder San Hui?
Unfortunately, this backing wasn't so stable.
Therefore, the elders and young masters of the Zhao Family had been thinking of ways to take back all of Zhao Yixuan's power and make it truly the property of the Zhao Family.
And Zhao Yixuan had never had a biological child. This was also what the elders of the Zhao Family were happy to see.
Especially now, he had already said that he would groom Zhao Xun as his successor.
This way, the Zhao Family could finally heave a sigh of relief.
But now, there was a twist in the matter that they felt was in the bag.
With the appearance of the carriages carrying Zhao Yixuan's best friends, the Zhao Family, which had been deserted for a few days, became lively again.
Early in the morning, Lin Mengya was busy receiving guests with Elder Zhao.
Standing at the door, she looked at Zhao Zifei who was following behind Elder Zhao, trying to make his presence known. She only felt that it was ridiculous.
"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect that when we meet again, it would be because of Sister-in-law's sudden death. You have to take care of your body. Don't be too sad. "
The first guest to arrive was considered Zhao Yixuan's sworn brother.
Zhao Yixuan had a stomach full of words that he wanted to tell his friend, but he could only pretend to be sad on the surface.
Lin Mengya saw that although the other party's body was round, his movements were very nimble when he got off the carriage. She was a little curious.
When that person got off the carriage, he held his brother's hand tightly and sighed about the injustice of God.
In the end, it was Elder Zhao who couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him.
"Brother Jiang, it's cold outside. It's really not a good place to chat. Let's go inside and talk. "
Jiang Yishui immediately shrunk his neck and nodded in agreement to his suggestion.
"Aiya, such a cold day is really killing me."
He turned around and saw a young woman with her face covered standing at the door of his friend's house.
As his thoughts turned, he looked at his brother with a hint of reproach.
"Although I shouldn't interfere in your family affairs, Sister-in-law just passed away. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"
Zhao Yixuan was stunned for a moment before he understood what his friend meant.
Yes, this was a misunderstanding.
He quickly explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"This Miss Ya is the niece of my Lady. I thought that there was no one in charge in the mansion, so I brought her over to help me handle things for the time being. My feelings for my wife can be witnessed by the heavens. Brother, don't talk nonsense. "
"Oh, oh, oh!" Jiang Yishui patted his head and apologized to Lin Mengya with some annoyance.
"Little girl, don't blame me! That's how I am. I'll say whatever I want to say. If I've offended you in any way, please forgive me. "
In fact, Lin Mengya did not hate this chubby middle-aged man.
From the fact that he could reprimand Elder Zhao for remarrying at this time, she knew that at least this uncle was a person who understood propriety, justice, and honor.
Moreover, this was just a small misunderstanding, so there was no need to haggle over it.
He shook his head and made an inviting gesture.
"Uncle Jiang, please come in. I've already ordered people to prepare hot soup to drive away the cold, as well as a charcoal stove to keep you warm. You won't feel cold once you enter."
When Jiang Yishui heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Aiyo, this little girl is so considerate! I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of the cold. When the weather turns cold, I feel the chill drilling into the cracks of my bones. It's really unbearable! "
As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Mengya could tell that he was really afraid of the cold.
At that moment, she couldn't help but suggest, "Since your body is afraid of the cold, then don't drink cold wine when you drink."
Jiang Yishui was a little surprised, "Little girl, how do you know that I'll drink cold wine? And isn't that wine to warm my body? Why am I getting colder the more I drink? "
Lin Mengya felt that this Uncle Jiang was really a little cute.
"Wine can indeed warm your body. If you put some herbs that can open up your meridians and activate your collaterals, it will also be very beneficial to your body. But your body is originally cold. If that wine is cold, it will also be cold in your stomach. Even if it has the effect of warming your body, with your alcohol tolerance, I'm afraid you'll get drunk.
Think about it, in the summer, even a mouthful of cold water will cause a person's stomach to suffer, let alone in the winter when you're troubled internally and externally. If a mouthful of cold wine goes down, won't you feel cold both internally and externally? "
Cai Ru's voice was a little hoarse. Now that she was speaking so slowly, it made people feel that it was soft and appropriate.
After listening to her words, Jiang Yishui was a little curious about this clever junior.
"How do you know that my alcohol tolerance is not good?"
Lin Mengya sniffed and said, "I smell the alcohol on you. It's not strong, and your face is red. If your alcohol tolerance is good, I'm afraid you can't even stand now. So, you should have the kind of body that blushes when you drink, right?"
Jiang Yishui was even more surprised.
"I only drank a cup of wine. You have such a sharp nose!"
In fact, Lin Mengya had only come to this conclusion through observation.
But she couldn't openly reveal her medical skills, so she could only use the most obvious things to help prove her judgment.
Lin Mengya lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I've shown off in front of Uncle Jiang. It's worth it to make you smile."
Jiang Yishui was originally a person with a more lively personality.
At that moment, he smiled and waved his hand.
"Aiya, I'm just very envious of Brother Zhao. With such a clever junior like you, I think he won't feel too bad."
Speaking of the sister-in-law that he had never met, Jiang Yishui was still a little worried about his brother.
"Erm, Miss, has anything special happened to your uncle recently?"
Lin Mengya was leading people to the inner courtyard. Hearing this, she shook her head and lowered her eyes.
"Uncle is a strong person. It's just that we've arrived. Uncle Jiang, please go in and rest."
Seeing that she wanted to say something but stopped, Jiang Yishui obviously thought of some possibilities.
He sighed and said to Lin Mengya in a low voice, "Sigh, your uncle is a stubborn person. Although your aunt is gone, he still has to live well, right? Alright, if you have time, help me persuade him. "
Lin Mengya nodded in agreement.
It seemed that Jiang Yishui was really concerned about Elder Zhao.
She personally welcomed the guests so that she could be aware of all the guests.
In this way, when Elder Zhao went to rope in their helpers, she could also be a little more cautious.
"You're still a smooth talker. What, your aunt took my mother's position, and now you want to take mine?"
She was blocked in the middle of the road.
Cai Ru was already a little impatient and wanted to push him, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
Zhao Zifei, whose cheeks were red, was fuming.
He stood in front of her.
Ha, he came here early in the morning to pretend to be filial, but he was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
Even if she wasn't here, Elder Zhao definitely wouldn't look at him directly, right?
"Do you really think this is your home?"
With her ridicule, Zhao Zifei's face looked even more vicious and manic.
"This place originally belonged to me! It was your aunt, that shameless b * tch, who stole my father! "
Lin Mengya's eyes turned cold, and she couldn't help but increase the strength of her fingers that signaled to Cai Ru.
"Ha, then why don't you dare to question your instigator father? If I remember correctly, he was the one who insisted on marrying my aunt.
Also, after my aunt married into the family, she also brought innumerable wealth into the family. At least half of uncle's private property business is managed by my aunt.
I don't care if you and mother want to enter the family, but don't you dare to touch my aunt's painstaking efforts! "
Zhao Zifei didn't expect that when the woman in front of him was tough, even he felt the pressure.
But how could he be reconciled?
He wanted to win a chance to show his face behind his mother's back, at the risk of falling out with her.
He didn't expect that it would be ruined by this woman.
Thinking of this, the viciousness in his eyes became stronger.
It wasn't that Lin Mengya didn't see his eyes, as if he wanted to eat her up, but so what?
All the embarrassment was caused by himself, and he couldn't blame others.
"Please move aside, I have to go out and help entertain the guests."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Zifei turned around and ran away.
This made Lin Mengya very surprised.
Just now he said some harsh words to her, why did he leave so easily?
"Master, why did you stop me just now? This kind of person, if I don't teach him a lesson, he will really think highly of himself. "
Cai Ru was very puzzled.
At the same time, she couldn't stand him using that kind of presumptuous look to stab her master.
Lin Mengya just looked at his back in confusion.
Based on her understanding, Zhao Zifei was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily.
Just now he left in such a hurry, either he had other plans to plot against her, or he saw someone he didn't want to see.
"Zifei, you've really grown up. Even as your mother, I didn't expect you to be so promising. Are you still thinking of being a filial son to that dead person? "
The corner of Madam Duan's mouth was slightly raised, and it looked like she was smiling, but the flickering cold light in her eyes made Zhao Zifei tremble with fear.
"Mother, no, it's not what you think! I can explain, in fact, all of this is — "
"Pa!" All his excuses were interrupted by Madam Duan's slap.
"Kneel down!"
With Madam Duan's stern shout, Zhao Zifei reflexively knelt down.
The hard bluestone floor was piercingly cold, and he just knelt down suddenly, now he only felt that the dull pain was almost unbearable.
But he dared not say a word.
For many years, as long as he made a mistake, his mother would punish him to kneel down.
Whether it was the hot summer or the cold winter, or whether there were servants around to serve them.
"I gave birth to you to be obedient and help me achieve my wish, not to make trouble!"
Another slap fell on the other side of his face.
