After that, Uncle Jiang, who was bold and couldn't help but be curious, lifted the tablecloth in front of him.
He saw a protrusion under the table. He touched it and found that it was some kind of thick tanned animal skin.
Through the animal skin, he only felt that the temperature was not hot.
No wonder, no wonder he didn't feel cold even though he was afraid of the cold.
And the chair was also padded with a super warm fur cushion.
At that moment, his face was full of wrinkles, and he couldn't help but say "Good" to Lin Mengya.
"What a coincidence! I, Old Jiang, admire you now. If the younger generation in my family were half as considerate as you, I, Old Jiang, would have accumulated good karma from my ancestors! "
He was most afraid of going out in the winter.
Before going out at home, Madam had warned him again and again, for fear that he would suffer from the cold outside.
Now in the Zhao Family, with this little girl around, the old woman would feel more at ease when he went back.
At that moment, he directly expressed his gratitude to Lin Mengya, regardless of the looks of others around him.
"Good girl, remember, in the future, no matter in your uncle-in-law's house or after you get married, if anyone dares to bully you, I, Uncle Jiang, will definitely help you."
Lin Mengya didn't expect that such a small change could directly win Uncle Jiang's favor.
She smiled, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that curved into crescents.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang. These are all my uncle-in-law's wishes. I'm just helping him out. It's my uncle-in-law who cares about your friendship, so everything is done properly. "
Indeed, if it wasn't for Elder Zhao's intentional reminder, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to come up with such a perfect plan.
But Elder Zhao smiled and waved his hand.
"You're really considerate. If you didn't ask me, I'm afraid I would have forgotten about these old things."
Elder Zhao had the intention to praise her, and as he spoke, he pushed all the credit to her.
When the group of old friends next to him heard what he said, they couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
At that moment, the atmosphere became much more lively.
But in the midst of it, some people couldn't help but feel jealous.
"I'm afraid that someone is deliberately trying to curry favor? Ha, you're so servile. You have no backbone at all. "Li Chengyuan glared at Lin Mengya and mocked her with disdain.
Everyone stopped talking and laughing.
If Jiang Yishui was arguing with Li Chengyuan because of the "old grudge" just now, now there were already a few old friends who couldn't help but speak up for Lin Mengya.
"Younger Brother Li, your words are too harsh. Miss Ya is so considerate of us out of her filial piety towards her uncle. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but how can you put down your pride and make things difficult for a little girl time and time again? "
The one who spoke was an old man with white hair and a beard.
Furthermore, he had always been a prudent and fair person, and had quite a bit of prestige among his old friends.
Now that even he had spoken, it could also prove the standpoint of most of the people present.
However, Li Chengyuan still spoke righteously.
"It's fine if she wants to be filial to uncle, but I'm afraid that's not what she's plotting, right?"
Lin Mengya could tell that there was a hidden meaning in his words.
In fact, she also felt that this matter was fishy.
A person she had never met before, yet he was speaking to her in such an overbearing manner.
Obviously, the other party probably knew something.
However, she thought that she was magnanimous and had never coveted the Zhao Family's things.
Moreover, with her wealth, would she even care about the Zhao Family's things?
Everyone was also surprised for a moment.
After all, in their opinion, Li Chengyuan's actions were indeed abnormal. If there was no reason for it, no one would believe it.
However, Jiang Yishui glanced at Li Chengyuan with disdain.
"I think some people are just worrying about nothing. Brother Zhao is such a smart person. Besides, with such a sweet and obedient niece, I can't wait to snatch her over to be my obedient daughter. So what if Brother Zhao dotes on her a little? How is it a hindrance to others? "
Lin Mengya didn't expect Uncle Jiang to directly point out the hidden meaning in the other party's words, and at the same time, he also said a few words to the other party.
Taking advantage of this time, she stepped forward and bowed to everyone.
"Uncles, since it has come to this, then I will say it clearly. I am here purely because my uncle is too busy and personally wrote to my parents, begging me to come here to help.
And my parents also clearly said in the letter that I am here to attend my aunt's funeral, and also to show my filial piety to my uncle. Indeed, my uncle's family is rich, but my husband's family is also rich, and my mother's family is not bad either. Everything that you have used today is my filial piety to my uncle.
If anyone still thinks that I am up to no good, then I am really wronged. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look slightly guilty.
Actually, they were led astray by Li Chengyuan just now.
However, they were not like that guy, who had the cheek to comment on other people's family affairs.
Now that they heard this lady say this, they immediately felt that Li Chengyuan, that bastard, was not a plaything.
The smile on Elder Zhao's face also faded.
Although he understood that this was all out of Li Chengyuan's good intentions, he really couldn't stand outsiders humiliating his relatives and juniors like this.
"Looks like my residence is too small and can't accommodate Elder Li's esteemed self. If Elder Li feels wronged, then please take your leave first. "
Being asked to leave by the host in front of everyone, Li Chengyuan's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.
"I'm doing this for your own good!" He said resentfully.
But Zhao Yixuan's expression was still very cold.
"Isn't Elder Li being too nosy? Moreover, you're in my residence, slandering and making things difficult for my wife's juniors, do you still have any respect for me as the host? "
Li Chengyuan felt that he had spoken indiscreetly, but he saw it in his eyes and was anxious.
Facing his good friend's cold expression, he felt even more aggrieved.
"Zhao Yixuan, don't tell me you still don't understand? She's doing this because she doesn't want to let your biological son into the family! "
Also anxious, Li Chengyuan directly roared out.
In the next moment, Elder Zhao's expression changed.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Chengyuan was also somewhat flustered and exasperated, feeling that his good friend was simply bewitched.
"Don't you know that the Zhao Clan is eyeing you covetously? They forced you to marry that woman. Later, that woman didn't give birth for more than ten years. You had no choice but to find someone from the Zhao family to be your heir.
But have you ever thought that if they really succeed, then everything you have in this life will be handed over to them? What will you do then? "
Huo! Lin Mengya did not expect that today's game would be more than
It was just a meeting between old friends, but it had turned into an old gossip.
She silently took two steps back, preparing to be a glutton.
Unfortunately, this Li Chengyuan was Elder Zhao's drug addict. He was determined to drag her, a CP fan, down with him.
"She's the chess piece left behind by that woman! I heard that it was because of her sowing discord that you didn't allow your own son to marry into the family.
Are you muddle-headed? If you hurt that child's heart, it will be too late to redeem it! "
Lin Mengya watched as Li Chengyuan pointed at her with an agitated expression and complained about her desperately.
Ha, he married into the family just like that!
Not only did he destroy her CP and ruin her reputation, but he also tampered with her gentle, considerate, pure and innocent image. This was intolerable.
"Elder Li, do you have any evidence for what you said? When did I sow discord? Ever since I came to my uncle's house, I've been suffering from typhoid and it's difficult for me to speak. How can I be so eloquent? If you want to compete in eloquence and stirring up discord, I have to admit defeat to you. "
Everyone had not recovered from Li Chengyuan's shocking revelation. When they heard her words, they couldn't help but secretly laugh in their hearts.
Although this lass's voice was hoarse, her temper was not small.
Now that he thought about it, he must have been angered to the point of disregarding everything to counterattack.
Just now, she didn't want to argue with Li Chengyuan.
Now that she was being unforgiving, Li Chengyuan naturally wouldn't be so condescending.
"What a sharp tongue you have! Don't you want evidence? Then let me ask you, why did you repeatedly humiliate Elder Zhao's biological son and do everything possible to prevent Brother Zhao from reuniting with his son, just like your aunt? "
Did this fellow really think that she was the one at fault for all these old scores?
Lin Mengya was also calm and steady, and she fought back with a powerful voice.
"First, my aunt has been married into the Zhao Family for many years and has never given birth. If my uncle has a son outside, it's a lie and betrayal to my aunt. Even if I want to make things difficult for him, it's to seek justice for my aunt. It's only right and proper.
Secondly, you keep saying that my uncle's husband has an illegitimate child outside. That means that my uncle's crime of being heartless, unjust, disloyal, and disrespectful is confirmed. What's more, my aunt's corpse hasn't even turned cold yet. You can't wait for my uncle to choose a wife and marry someone else. You want me, your niece, to happily watch my uncle welcome an illegitimate son into the family. Aren't you afraid that my aunt won't die in peace? "
She was an extremely domineering person in her bones.
No matter what method Madam Duan and her son used to win over Li Chengyuan, if she kept explaining, it would make people think that she was hypocritical.
It was better to prove the accusation.
So what if he was bullied? Anyway, she had a good reason to do it. Even the Emperor couldn't do anything about it.
After hearing her rebuttal, people didn't think that this girl was twisting words and forcing logic.
What she said made sense, didn't it?
No matter what the late wife was like, she was Elder Zhao's legal wife. It was okay for Elder Zhao to take concubines, but he really shouldn't have a child with someone outside.
After that, the late wife left in a hurry for a month, and Elder Zhao brought the illegitimate son in without considering the old relationship.
There was really something wrong with this person's character.
Although this group of people couldn't be called gentlemen, they knew the principle of dealing with people and had basic moral concepts.
For a moment, almost everyone, except Li Chengyuan, was on Lin Mengya's side.
Li Chengyuan's face turned livid because of her refutation.
"You, you're quibbling!"
