"She's not that kind-hearted!"
Aunt Fang complained bluntly. She was going to be a mother-in-law in the future, so she judged others by her own standards. If Huo Xiao brought her a daughter-in-law in the future, she couldn't treat him like that no matter whether she liked it or not.
"It's her niece who's missing! She's willing to be someone's concubine. What good can she be? I think she might have run away with someone because Zhao Yongcai doesn't care about her. "
Lin Mengya still didn't know that Aunt Fang was definitely a great prophet.
However, she was also curious. Although Zhao Yongcai locked his mother and cousin at home, he didn't say that he did anything bad to them.
His cousin was a girl. Where could she go in such weather?
"Could he have been kidnapped and sold by someone?" she asked.
Although Aunt Fang was reluctant, she had to think about others.
"I'll arrange for people to patrol day and night. Really, it's not as easy as when the road was blocked by the heavy snow a few days ago."
Aunt Fang's complaint was reasonable.
Since the road was cleared, many unfamiliar faces quietly poured into the small town.
What made people speechless was that they all thought that they were keeping a low profile and wouldn't attract the attention of others.
They didn't know that the others thought the same.
This situation was very awkward.
They didn't know each other and thought that the other was the indigenous people here.
Only the indigenous people silently watched these strangers testing each other. It was realistic and lively, and they thought that there was something wrong with these people's brains.
However, Lin Mengya and Aunt Fang didn't let down their guard.
Even if those people who came earlier might just be the vanguard, who could guarantee that this wasn't an act to numb the Zhao family?
The greatest danger was always hidden in the deepest part.
If they underestimated their enemies because of this, they would be digging their own graves.
In such a situation, the small town welcomed the first batch of evil guests on the surface.
Even Lin Mengya and Aunt Fang didn't expect that the first people to jump out to take the fruit would be the Zhao family.
They really didn't know if they had a death wish or if they thought that they had the ability to take all the credit.
In short, Lin Mengya felt that the Zhao family was probably digging their own grave.
"Madam, the first branch and the second branch have both sent people over this time. The second and third branch have both come. This old servant sees that they are so aggressive, I'm afraid that they will come to find trouble with you. "
Si Cui's brows furrowed again.
After knowing that people from the ancestral clan were coming, she was very worried and didn't sleep well for a few days.
As someone who had been by Madam's side for a long time, she naturally knew that the ancestral family had yet to accept Madam.
However, their master's attitude had always been unyielding, so they had no choice but to temporarily suppress their thoughts.
He was probably here to cause trouble for Madam.
Unexpectedly, Fang Rao, who was worried, was very calm.
"What are you afraid of? Ten years ago, I wasn't afraid of these old things. Ten years later, why should I be afraid of them? He's already an old man with only a few days left to live. Aren't you afraid of dying on the way? "
Lin Mengya, who was playing chess with Aunt Fang, glanced at Aunt Fang.
In front of her, Aunt Fang was just a woman trapped by love, a mother who loved her child but also felt guilty.
She had almost forgotten that the "reputation" of this couple could make people tremble in fear.
Now, she had the chance to see it.
"Madam, although this is the case, after all, Fourth Elder and Young Master Xun died in our house. This old servant is afraid that they will use this as an excuse to make things difficult for you. Now that Master is not at home, this old servant is afraid that you will be at a disadvantage! "
Aunt Fang narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Fourth Elder Zhao died in the hands of others. Even if they want to blame it on me, they have to have conclusive evidence. As for Zhao Xun — "
Lin Mengya put down a chess piece, took a sip of tea, and then continued unhurriedly.
"Since they are concerned about me, then send Zhao Xun over. Oh, yes, remember to send his wife and concubine over too. Also, I spent a lot of effort to save him. Send me the bill while you're at it. "
Si Cui saw that she really couldn't persuade these two people who had ideas, so she could only go out with a heavy heart and do as she was told.
In the room, Fang Rao poked her forehead.
"You're really bad. Even at this time, you still don't forget to put the blame on others."
"I'm speaking the truth. If it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be any bones left of Zhao Xun now. Since I'm the one who saved him, I have to make a big fuss and let the whole world know of my contribution. "
If it wasn't for the fact that Fang Rao knew what happened, she would have been tricked by her.
But speaking of which, Lin Mengya was indeed Zhao Xun's benefactor.
It was just that things weren't as she said, no matter how kind she was.
In fact, Fang Rao even felt that if it wasn't for Lin Mengya wanting to watch a good show, she wouldn't even bother to save Zhao Xun.
But this move was indeed effective.
The people from the Zong Clan still had brains. They didn't directly visit, but chose to stay in an inn.
However, before their butts could even warm up from their seats, someone from the outside came bustling with activity and delivered a big gift.
"Greetings to Third Elder and Fourth Elder. I'm from Elder Zhao's clan. My madam said that since the two of you are here, then she can rest assured and hand Young Master Xun over to you two.
The two of you still don't know, but Young Master Xun suffered greatly a few days ago. If it wasn't for Miss Ya who was a guest in our clan, Young Master Xun would have died young.
My mistress said that both of you are elders who are well-mannered. She, as a woman, is unable to make the decision. I wonder when both of you would have the time to come over and discuss with my mistress how to reward Miss Ya. "
My madam said that since Miss Ya saved Young Master Xun, she is also the benefactor of our Zhao Clan. Hence, the gift can't be too light. She's afraid that she won't be able to grasp the scale, so she wanted to give Miss Ya a thousand taels of silver as a red packet. As for the rest, when the two of you are free, you can discuss it with my madam. "
It was unknown who chose this little brother. His speaking speed was extremely fast, and his enunciation was clear. Most importantly, his voice was loud and clear. The moment he opened his mouth, he was like a loudspeaker at the entrance of a village.
The two old masters in the inn almost choked to death.
Where the hell did this loudspeaker come from? What kind of words were these?
Third Elder Zhao had a fiery temper. He blew his beard and glared at the little brother, wanting to send someone to teach him a lesson.
However, he was stopped by Second Elder Zhao.
"What's the use even if you kill him now? That wife of Yixuan's has never been on the same side as us. She's afraid that we'll use Zhao Xun as a prelude to settle scores with her. Hence, she wants to make the first move to gain the upper hand.
If you go out now, he'll definitely have a hundred more words waiting for you. I'm already so old, I can't afford to lose face like this. "
"Second Brother, are we going to allow this brat to make a ruckus outside?"
Third Elder Zhao was still unwilling.
When they were in the main clan, they relied on the fact that their seniority was the highest and were very domineering.
Even if it was the main wife of the main clan leader, they would still have to be docile and obedient, calling them Second Uncle and Third Uncle respectfully, let alone that unchaste and uncle-married girl.
When did it become a whore's turn to scheme against them?
"There's no hurry."
Second Elder Zhao was dressed in a greenish-gray Daoist robe. He himself had white hair and a white beard, exuding the air of a transcendent being.
However, a person's eyes couldn't lie.
Second Elder Zhao's eyes were too cunning and shrewd, as if he could see through the other's little tricks in an instant.
"She only sent a nobody to make an appearance, and you're already so furious. Think about it, don't you feel ashamed?"
Third Elder Zhao couldn't be persuaded by anyone, especially in recent years. His temper was like a firecracker, exploding at the slightest provocation.
However, only Second Elder Zhao could persuade him.
With just a few words, Third Elder Zhao temporarily regained his calmness.
"That slut is indeed treacherous! Second Brother, what do you think we should do now? "
Second Elder Zhao glanced at the window and said, "She's making such a big fuss because she doesn't want us to have anything to use against her. Since that's the case, then we'll take her move first. "
"But Fourth Brother —"
"They can't deny it even if they want to. As for Zhao Xun, I also want to ask him what's going on. "
Second Elder Zhao made the final decision. That loud mouth bro's mission could be considered completed.
However, this fellow was also naturally sensitive.
He had to wait until the people from the Zhao Clan came out to take over before he smacked his head and said loudly, "Look at me, I even forgot such an important matter."
The people from the Zhao Clan who came to take over felt their hearts skip a beat. Just as they wanted to cover that loud mouth bro's mouth, the speed of his mouth was much faster than the speed of their hands.
"This is the bill for Miss Ya's treatment of Young Master Xun. Aiya, it's a total of a few thousand taels of silver! My Madam said that this is a life-saving grace, and it's not good to renege on the debt. So, I'll hand it all over to you. "
He handed it over with a smile, but the faces of the other side all darkened. No one wanted to take it.
Who knew that the loud mouth bro would continue to attack.
"Don't tell me you guys want to renege on the debt? Before we came, Miss Ya specially told me that she had encountered people who wanted to renege on the debt, and they even accused her of being a quack.
However, Miss Ya is really a good doctor. Many of us here have been treated by her. If you guys want to renege on the debt, don't use this as an excuse. It won't be good! "
The people from the Zhao Clan: So you know that it won't be good!
But under the gazes of everyone, especially those who were watching from the side, they really started to discuss how good Miss Ya's medical skills were.
The people from the Zhao Clan wanted to cry but had no tears.
They had no idea where Elder Zhao dug out this loud mouth bro from. Leaving aside the fact that he didn't have a filter on his mouth, the main point was that he was very accurate with his attacks.
"Enough! Quickly scram! "
The person in charge of taking over the debt snatched the bill from the other party's hand and chased him away with a dark expression.
The loud mouth bro still felt a little unsatisfied, but the moment he opened his mouth, the other party glared at him, causing him to feel very wronged.
"My Madam said that if the two of you are not tired, it's better for you to enter the residence as soon as possible."
The young man said this very carefully.
When the people in the surroundings heard this, they thought that the two old masters of the Zhao Clan were very hard to please and didn't want to go to the elder's residence!
The person in charge of taking over the debt felt his vision turning black. He forcefully suppressed the urge to beat the other party to death.
Why didn't he say this sentence out loud?
Instead, he put on a pitiful look. No, the one who was truly pitiful should be him, alright?
After the loud mouth bro finished his task, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Only the people from the Zhao Clan were left behind, gritting their teeth and cursing.
This heartless thing truly had an ulterior motive!
However, they couldn't ignore Zhao Xun and the other two who were carried back.
"Men, carry Young Master Xun in!"
They would definitely get revenge for this debt!
