"Oh, that's probably a coincidence. May I know why you two are looking for me? "
When Lin Mengya wanted to coax someone, she could even boil a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg into boiling water. But if she wanted to ignore the other party, she could end the conversation in minutes.
The second great-grandfather choked on her words.
He became increasingly dissatisfied. The Gong clan was getting worse with each generation. This youngster didn't have any manners at all.
He had thought that he could use this as an excuse to arouse the other party's curiosity and easily open up the situation during the questioning.
Who knew that the other party would be so direct?
The smile on the second great-grandfather's face faded. Since the other party didn't know how to appreciate favors, he should put on the airs of an elder.
"According to the rules of the aboriginals, people who have been abandoned cannot easily return. If you want the aboriginals to accept you again, you need a clan with enough power to act as a guarantor.
But this guarantee can't be done by just anyone. Moreover, the clan that acts as a guarantor must bear a certain amount of risk. I believe that your elders should have already told you about these matters. "
The second great-grandfather stroked his beard, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"You finding our Zhao clan can be considered as fate between our two clans. But a favor is a favor, and the matter still has to be handled according to the rules.
As for how much the insurance fee is, that will depend on your sincerity. Moreover, after your Gong clan returns, you can only become a low flux clan. In view of the fact that your Gong clan's territory has already been given to others, our Zhao clan is willing to take you in. But our Zhao clan has a large population, so after your Gong clan returns, you can only become a subsidiary clan of our Zhao clan. "
Lin Mengya was stunned by the second elder's shamelessness.
Although she was sure that she could understand every single word he said, when put together, it was as difficult as reading a book from the heavens.
"Wait a moment. Although I don't understand why you're telling me this, I think you're mistaken about something.
"Our Gong Family is doing well outside. We have houses, land, money, and people. Why do we have to come back here to squeeze with you?"
"There's one more thing you're mistaken about. I didn't come to the Ancient Race of my own volition. Instead, your Elders Guild coerced me into coming here."
"If this is your aboriginals' goal, then I'm sorry, but I refuse."
Lin Mengya spoke without the slightest hesitation.
What kind of joke was this?
Their Gong Family didn't want to be the big brother outside. Why did they have to come to this small place to be the little brother? And they even had to be taken advantage of?
Was the brains of the Gong Family people flooded with water, or were their days too good that they had to come and flatter others?
When the Second Great Grandfather heard this, his face darkened.
He felt that he had been tricked by this brat!
However, the Second Great Elder Wen was not a brainless person.
He was just momentarily blinded by the benefits at his fingertips.
Clenching his fists tightly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his attitude became much colder.
"Oh? If that's the case, your Gong family has grown up. Are you looking down on us ancient clans now? "
Lin Mengya would not jump into this trap.
She shook her head. "I don't think you need to dwell on this issue. The Gong family is no longer the Gong family of the past. Even though she used to be a member of the aboriginals, everyone in the Gong family had been living outside all these years, so everyone in the Gong family was unfamiliar with the aboriginals.
For example, if an old friend came, we would be more like new friends. I know that Second Great Master is not a petty person, so why should we hold on to the past? "
However, the Second Great Elder did not want to let it go so easily.
"Hmph! It's fine if you don't consider yourselves to be aboriginals, but I would like to ask Miss Gong, as an outsider, why did you kill a descendant of the Zhao family? Could it be that you think the Zhao family is easy to bully? "
As expected.
There was still a trap waiting for her.
If she admitted that she was an aboriginal, then the Second Great Elder could use the rules of the clan to suppress her.
If she did not admit it, then he would use Zhao Jian's death to punish her.
No matter what, she had to pay a price today. Otherwise, she would not be able to get rid of these two old fellows.
"My two uncles, this matter …"
Fang Rao, who was at the side, was just about to explain on her behalf when the Third Elder Grandfather said in a booming voice, "Fang Rao, you are a member of the Zhao Clan. Who gave you the courage to exonerate an outsider?
Could it be that Zhao Jian's death has something to do with you? "
Fang Rao's expression changed. She knew that the other party was using this opportunity to make things difficult for her, but she still could not watch Lin Mengya being bullied like this.
"Madam Zhao only wanted to speak up for me. Please don't misunderstand."
Lin Mengya took the opportunity to give Aunt Fang a look, telling her not to get involved for the time being.
It was obvious that these two old fellows had come prepared. If she did not handle this well, not only would they bite off a piece of flesh from her, she might even implicate Aunt Fang.
No, Aunt Fang had already helped her so much. That was enough.
She cleared her throat and said unhurriedly, "Even if the two of you did not come to find me, I would have personally paid a visit.
Regarding this matter, I also have many questions in my heart. Since the two of you are here, I would like to invite the two of you to help me solve my doubts. "
Lin Mengya's attitude was seen as her last struggle by the Second Great Elder.
"Oh? Looks like Miss Gong is not going to admit it? "
Lin Mengya spread her hands and said generously, "I have always been a person who dares to take responsibility for my actions, but I will not admit what I did not do."
The Third Great Elder shouted impatiently, "Second brother, why are you still wasting words with her? It's not up to her to decide whether she did it or not. Since she refuses to admit it, then come back to the Zhao Family with us. We will naturally find out the truth. Do you dare to do it? "
Of course she dared.
If the Zhao family could really treat this matter fairly, she would not be afraid to go.
But now, it was obvious that the Zhao family was plotting against her.
She was afraid that if she went this time, the Zhao family would swallow her up along with her bones.
The Second Great Elder looked at her calmly, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was certain that she would accept this unfair challenge.
But Lin Mengya did not show the anger or guilt that they imagined she would.
"Since the two elders have said so, then according to common sense, I should naturally go with you. If I don't go, it would seem that I am guilty. "
"So, Miss Gong is prepared to return to the Zhao family with us?"
The Second Great Elder was in a good mood.
"Don't worry, Miss Gong. The Zhao family will naturally not be impolite to a distinguished guest like you. As long as Miss Gong is willing to go with us, I promise to get to the bottom of this matter and give you justice. "
But at this moment, Lin Mengya gently covered her belly, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Of course I really want to go, but it is not very convenient for me now."
The Third Great Elder could tell that this girl was playing with them!
He immediately stood up and was about to grab Lin Mengya's shoulder with a gloomy face.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a figure appeared even faster and slapped him away.
Cai Ru held a long sword and guarded Lin Mengya's side.
"Miss Gong, you better not refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! The Zhao family's status in the ancient clan is also very important. If you want to go back on your words, don't even think about taking a step out of the ancient clan in the future! "
The Second Great Elder also threatened her with a gloomy expression.
But Lin Mengya
Had an innocent expression on her face.
"Two old masters, please calm down. I have always been a person who keeps my word. Unfortunately, the little thing in my stomach is not easy to serve. It is not afraid of any bumps in the road, but I am afraid that this little thing cannot endure any pain. "
The two old men were stunned when they heard this.
Then, they looked at her slightly bulging stomach.
"You, what do you mean by this?"
The Second Great Elder was in disbelief.
But Lin Mengya was very pleased and moved her stomach forward.
"I already have a baby in my stomach, and it is almost five months old now."
In an instant, the two old men's faces turned ashen.
There was a baby? Who was it? How could it be so coincidental?
Lin Mengya seemed to be able to read their minds. She touched her stomach and said gently, "I believe both of you know that I am already married to The Lord. That's right, this child is mine and His Highness's child. Do you still think that you should bring me back to the Zhao family? "
Of course, they should not!
If Lin Mengya, the head of the Gong family, was looked down upon by others because she was previously an abandoned clan, then the Divine Temple's high status would make them hesitate to take action.
After all!
The Divine Temple was not like the aboriginals who were already struggling.
The Divine Temple was growing stronger day by day. Even the emperor, who was on par with The Lord, had been conquered. How could they be offended?
If they "accidentally" killed the head of the Gong family, The Lord might not go to war with them.
After all, with that status, what kind of woman could he not have?
But not a child.
If anything happened to this child, they were afraid that they would really become enemies with the Divine Temple!
At that time, would the Elders Guild come forward to protect them?
The two old masters felt that it was impossible just by thinking about it.
The aboriginals were not the same as before. The Elders Guild was growing stronger day by day by using the resources in their hands to win over the other clans.
If they did not have other ways to obtain resources, they would eventually become the vassals of the Elders Guild and be completely controlled by it, just like those small clans.
They did not blindly obey the Elders Guild, but they did not dare to disobey it either.
That was why they coveted the Gong family.
If they could obtain everything from the Gong family, they would no longer have to worry about being controlled by the Elders Guild!
The two old masters thought for a while. Finally, Second Great Grandfather Zhao gave Third Great Grandfather Zhao a look.
"So that's how it is."
Second Great Grandfather Zhao immediately revealed a smile. It seemed like he was also a ruthless person who knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
"This is a joyous matter. Miss Gong, you have to be careful. How about this, since Miss Gong's body is not suitable for labor, I will ask someone to make a few more trips and settle this here. This way, His Highness will not blame us. "
Lin Mengya laughed coldly in her heart.
Who exactly gave them the confidence to think that they could bully the Gong family, but not the Divine Temple?
But now, she was too lazy to argue with them.
Anyway, she could not hide her pregnancy for long. She might as well use this opportunity to put a protective talisman on herself so that they would not act against her.
"Then I will have to trouble the two old masters. But I am not feeling well recently. If anything happens, I will have to trouble the two of you to settle it as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, let's do as Master Gong says!"
Second Great Grandfather Zhao agreed without hesitation.
However, the way he looked at her was a little more disdainful.
Ha, in the end, a woman could not support the family business. Didn't she have to rely on a man to settle down?
