Even Jiang Yishui, who had always been kind and gentle to her, was like this.
It seemed that her identity as the head of the Gong Family did have a special meaning to them.
But why?
She was full of doubts and even a little wronged.
However, she was no longer a greenhorn. She wouldn't be so blind as to pester him without letting him go.
"Okay, since you don't want to work with me anymore, then we'll forget about what happened before."
She expressed generously, but then changed the topic. "But are you all going to overstep your boundaries and make decisions for Elder Zhao regarding the Zhao Family's matters?"
"Well …"
Jiang Yishui hesitated.
Someone couldn't help but slap the table and stand up.
"You, what did you do to Brother Zhao?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, thinking that Brother Zhao would probably change his surname to Huo when he wakes up.
But she and Aunt Fang tacitly kept quiet about this matter.
"It's not that I did anything, but Elder Zhao is suffering from an acute illness. No one can cure him except me."
"How is that possible?"
Someone immediately refuted her.
"Brother Zhao is strong and healthy. In my opinion, it might be someone who is cruel and unscrupulous, working together to murder him!"
"What do you mean by that?" Aunt Fang asked coldly.
But that person didn't let it go. He even felt that it made sense and started to yell even louder.
"Who else could it be if not you? Ask yourself, how has he treated you all these years? How have you treated him? Fang Rao, even if your heart is made of stone, he has covered it for so many years. It should have warmed up long ago, right? "
Fang Rao's eyes instantly turned red when she mentioned all the suffering and pain she had suffered all these years.
She gripped the corner of the table tightly. "You all think that he loves me deeply, but I don't know what's good for me, so he wasted so many years. Don't you know that he owes me a life?! "
Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Fate made fools of people.
They were a perfect couple, but now they had become a pair of bitter lovers.
"My child had just been born, and he died in the womb! How do you know how long I cried and how long I was in pain? You all think that you are righteous and blame me. Then what about my son's life? How could Zhao Yixuan compensate me? "
Fang Rao's accusation rendered everyone present speechless.
Lin Mengya glanced at them and said in a warning tone.
"It's true that all of you are Elder Zhao's close friends, but this matter concerns Elder Zhao's family, so please do not add oil to the fire."
Jiang Yishui let out a long sigh and raised his hand to signal everyone not to get involved in other people's family matters.
As Zhao Yixuan's most trusted friend, he naturally knew who was in the right and who was in the wrong.
Alas, what a pity.
"Patriarch Gong is right, but this matter concerns the life and death of my good friend. May I ask Patriarch Gong to tell me what illness my old friend is suffering from?"
Before her voice died away, all eyes were on Lin Mengya.
Although it wasn't too obvious, she could feel some hostility mixed in it.
He furrowed his brows. The feeling of being treated as an enemy overnight was really terrible.
Hence, his words were less courteous.
"Elder Zhao's illness is very special. It's useless even if I tell you."
"You're just being perfunctory! Old Jiang, I don't think there's any need to talk nonsense with her. I don't believe that her medical skills are that good. I think she's just bluffing! "
Someone jumped out to accuse her again. Lin Mengya was also annoyed.
Too bad.
No matter who it was, to be slandered again and again, one would not have a good attitude to deal with it.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you want him to die now, I'll get someone to send him back immediately. Also, do you really think that the Gong family has no one or no money? I, Gong Ya, don't care about the Zhao family's money! "
These people hesitated again when it really concerned Zhao Yixuan's life and death.
To put it bluntly, they were only Zhao Yixuan's friends and not his closest relatives. Hence, they didn't dare to make such a conclusion for him.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yishui, hoping that he could make a decision.
Jiang Yishui didn't see their expressions, but he already had a plan in his heart.
"How about this, since Patriarch Gong is confident that he can cure Brother Zhao, then we won't waste your time."
Even though they were worried, everyone really didn't want Zhao Yixuan to die because of this.
"That's good, but I don't want anyone to disturb me while I'm treating Elder Zhao."
She looked around her with a cold look.
"If you want to stay here and wait for news, I don't care. But please be broad-minded and don't always think of making things difficult for a woman like Aunt Fang. Don't you think it's embarrassing for so many men to target a weak woman?"
Her obvious contempt made these old fellows even more dissatisfied.
Jiang Yishui lowered his eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
This group of old fellows was really becoming more and more useless.
Seeing this, Lin Mengya knew that there was no need to stay any longer, so she turned around and walked out.
But just as she walked out of the Zhao mansion, she heard Aunt Fang's voice coming from behind.
"Wait, Miss Gong, let's go together."
She turned around and looked at Aunt Fang, who was carrying a bag, and Aunt Lan, who was dressed similarly.
Her heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that the situation that Elder Zhao was most worried about had happened.
She asked even though she knew the answer, "Aunt Fang, where are you and Aunt Lan going?"
Fang Rao's emotions had already calmed down a lot. She had probably thought it through, and her eyes were also clearer.
"I want to move in with the children first. When he gets better, I'll leave this place."
Leave.
This was Fang Rao's strongest thought in the past ten years, other than avenging the Huo family and finding Huo Xiao.
She had suppressed herself and sacrificed herself for the family, for the children.
Now that she was tired, she had also thought it through.
Regardless of whether he was from the Zhao family or the Huo family, in the past ten years, he seemed to have become the master of her life.
She didn't want to live for others anymore.
She wanted to see the remaining decades of her life on her own.
Lin Mengya understood Aunt Fang's thoughts.
She chose to respect her and provide as much help as she could.
"Alright, I'll send you there. But everything in the Zhao family has your blood, sweat, and tears. Are you really willing to part with it? "
Fang Rao turned around. There was nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes, but there was also weariness and exhaustion. In the end, these emotions were melted away by a ray of light called liberation.
"There's nothing to be reluctant about. I've lived in this small world for most of my life and become a bird in a cage. I think it's time for me to leave. "
Not everyone had the courage to leave love and hatred.
Aunt Fang did it, so she finally let her go.
"Let's go."
She insisted on taking Aunt Fang's package, holding her arm, and left the cage that had trapped Aunt Fang for half of her life.
Everyone was surprised by Aunt Fang's return.
Lin Mengya didn't explain too much about it.
And those people had a kind of crazy trust in her.
Apart from the initial shock of how Fang Rao 'came back from the dead', they quickly accepted Fang Rao's existence.
Lin Mengya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Not everyone is heartless. Look at them. Even if they know who you are, they might not bite the hand that feeds them and treat you as their enemy."
Aunt Fang made a simple arrangement and said to her with a smile.
Lin Mengya turned around and smiled at Aunt Fang.
"I never worry about that. Whether they thank me or hate me, that's their business. "
Hearing this, Fang Rao shook her head and sighed.
Even she was confused. She didn't understand why Jiang Yishui and the others would treat her as their enemy.
After all, this child had also saved their lives, hadn't he?
It was getting late, and Lin Mengya still had to rush back to the hot spring villa.
Mo Yan and Zaizai pestered her to go back with them, but Lin Mengya still bribed them with some benefits to make them give up the idea.
Because this was the only place that was completely under her control, and it was also the safest place she could guarantee.
After repeatedly promising that she would come back to see him tomorrow, Lin Mengya got into the carriage and went to the hot spring villa.
It was dark and the road was slippery, so the carriage only dared to trot steadily.
She sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest, while Cai Ru was on guard, paying attention to the wind and grass outside.
Until —
The sound of the arrow piercing through the air came. The force of the arrow was so strong that it instantly pierced through the wooden board of the carriage.
"Be careful, Master!"
Cai Ru was as fast as a leopard and pounced on her.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a sudden sound of slightly messy footsteps around.
The enemy came from all directions, and their target was only her!
"What's going on?" She asked in a low voice.
Cai Ru didn't dare to open the window, so she could only observe the situation outside through the gap.
There were about a dozen people slowly approaching the carriage.
"Master, don't look. The Jackdaw Guards are following us."
Cai Ru lowered her voice and reported.
Lin Mengya's heart gradually calmed down.
In the next moment, twelve guards dressed in black and wearing white hats appeared around her carriage, protecting her tightly, not leaving a single gap.
The atmosphere was tense, and it could be triggered at any moment.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to harm my master? "
The leader of the Jackdaw Guards questioned coldly.
A path appeared in the crowd.
Not long after, a short and stout figure walked over.
"Master Gong."
The voice was cold, but it was not unfamiliar.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly. She recognized that it was the one who had criticized her in the mansion during the day.
Could it be that this person had come to stop her at night because he hadn't had enough fun during the day?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately asked Cai Ru to step back, opened the carriage door, and asked impolitely, "You really have nothing to do. Why? Are you worried about Elder Zhao, so you want to visit him? You don't have to make such a big fuss, do you? "
Seeing her come out, the man's eyes fell on her.
"Zhao Yixuan is a good friend of mine for many years. Of course I'm concerned about his life. It's just that I have something more important to discuss with you, Patriarch Gong. "
"Discuss it here?" Lin Mengya said coldly, "Why do I feel that you're here to kill me?"
