While comforting Aunt Fang, Lin Mengya took the medicine bottle.
She pulled out the stopper and poured out more than a dozen dark red pills. Although each of them was only the size of a grain of rice, she would be completely reduced to a puppet if she consumed the whole bottle.
With a sneer on her face, she exerted a little force and completely crushed the thing that ruined people.
Aunt Fang was still unhappy.
She knew those people's style of doing things too well. They would not give up so easily. They threatened and tempted her, but they would not use such gentle means to others.
Although she did not want to doubt all the people left in the mansion, not everyone could withstand such a huge pressure.
If the life and death of one's family and friends were held in the hands of others, how many people would be able to keep their hearts?
"Don't worry, Aunt Fang."
She patted Aunt Fang on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't forget that I'm a doctor myself. If these things are put in my diet, I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat them."
"What if they don't just want to hurt you? Your husband and your child — by the way, little Moyan! Even if it's for the sake of this child, you can't be careless! "
Aunt Fang really cared about her and doted on Moyan.
Lin Mengya patted her hand. She couldn't say more, but after all, the family of three was not afraid of such sinister means.
But Lin Mengya still couldn't help but be angry with the two old things of the Zhao family.
Especially when she was already pregnant, they still wanted to control her with this kind of highly addictive thing.
Perhaps, in addition to controlling herself, they also wanted to indirectly control the Holy Hall through the baby in her belly!
If they wanted to harm her, she could still let them live. But if they wanted to harm her child and her man, then it was the same as completely destroying their own path to survival!
Although on the surface, it seemed that she did not take any action to fight back, in fact, from that day on, the two elders of the Zhao family had not seen her.
Even if they came to her door, Aunt Fang would follow Lin Mengya's instructions. She only said that she was not feeling well and would not see anyone.
After a few days, the two old guys of the Zhao family no longer came to see her.
Because they were busy welcoming a distinguished guest on behalf of the Zhao family.
"We didn't know that the Pei Family's Patriarch would grace us with his presence. Please forgive us for not going out to welcome you."
"The two of you can be considered elders of the Ancient Clan. There's no need to be so polite. Furthermore, I just happened to pass by and wanted to pay a visit to Elder Zhao. May I know where he is now?"
In front of outsiders, Pei Qianji had always been kind and gentle.
Compared to the arrogance of the Yue Zheng Clan, the Pei Clan, under the influence of the Clan Head, had won a lot of praise, at least on the surface.
Some people were even comparing the two families behind their backs.
Although Yue Zhengjia was of noble birth, it was also because of this that he was too eccentric and unsociable.
On the other hand, the Pei Family, which had always been close to the people, was more popular.
Of course, this was the result of Pei Qianji's painstaking efforts. Although he wanted to replace Yue Zhengjia, he didn't want others to say that he had used some underhanded means to get to his current position.
The best way was for the aboriginals to automatically and arrogantly welcome them. Then, he would show that he had no choice but to do so. In this way, even Yue Zhengjia wouldn't be able to resent them.
It had to be said that Pei Qianji was definitely an ambitious person who was proficient in the art of trickery.
However, it was a pity that he was too narrow-minded.
In her opinion, she really didn't care about the aboriginals.
Instead of playing tricks and fighting with them openly and covertly, it was better to leave the vast world and seek a new life.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the Gong Family was so determined to leave the aboriginals.
Second Great Master Zhao didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Pei Qianji. As an elder, he didn't need to be overly humble. However, he still had doubts about Pei Qianji's arrival.
"What a coincidence. I heard from my niece's wife that there was an accident at the Commerce Alliance's shop. My nephew is rushing to deal with it. If he had known that Patriarch Pei was coming, he would have left a few days later, so that Patriarch Pei wouldn't have made a wasted trip. "
Hearing this, Pei Qianji didn't show much disappointment.
This was originally just an excuse. Moreover, he didn't have much of a relationship with Zhao Yixuan.
"If that's the case, then I really came at a bad time. However, I happened to meet a member of the Zhao Family on my way here. She seemed to have some grievances to complain. Anyway, I wanted to pay Elder Zhao a visit, so I brought her here. Since he's not here, please uphold justice for our clansmen. "
As he spoke, he gestured for the girl to be brought up.
The two elders of the Zhao Family looked at each other. At the same time, they felt a little dissatisfied.
What did Pei Qianji mean by this? Since this was an internal matter of the Zhao Family, did he want to interfere?
However, the two elders didn't reject him easily. They would act according to the circumstances.
Soon, a skinny girl with a swollen face was helped out.
The girl looked very weak. Although her clothes were tidy, they didn't fit her well. The wide collar and sleeves couldn't cover the wounds on her neck and arms.
The two elders of the Zhao Family frowned.
They didn't need to guess to know that this girl must have encountered something bad.
But what did this have to do with the Zhao Family?
"Uh, where did you meet this girl, Patriarch Pei? Is she a member of the Zhao Family? "
The second elder of the Zhao Family asked carefully.
The smile on Pei Qianji's face faded, and his tone was full of pity.
"When I met her, she had just escaped from the jaws of death. She isn't a member of the Zhao Family, but her injuries were caused by someone from the Zhao Family. "
"That's impossible! How could the Zhao Family do such a thing? Patriarch Pei, this concerns the reputation of the Zhao Family. You can't speak carelessly! "
The third elder of the Zhao Family couldn't help but retort.
Pei Qianji didn't get angry when he heard that.
"Third Uncle Zhao, why are you in such a hurry to deny it? We just need to listen to what she has to say, right?"
The second elder of the Zhao Family shook his head at his younger brother, indicating that he shouldn't be so impulsive.
"Patriarch Pei is right. We should listen to what the victim has to say first."
Then, he looked at the girl who couldn't stop trembling and softened his tone.
"Miss, can you tell me who hurt you like this?"
The girl raised her head. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with fear.
"It's, it's the Zhao Family who hurt me! It's Zhao Xiaodie. It must be her. It must be her who wants to take revenge on me! It's her!
It's her! Ah! "
Then, the girl lost control of her emotions.
The Pei Family member who brought her here seemed to be very experienced. He stuffed a piece of rag into her mouth.
"This girl is too agitated. If we don't gag her, she might bite her own tongue."
The man explained, but the man did not answer.
However, the Pei Family member lifted her up with great force and carried her out.
The second elder of the Zhao Family's expression became more and more unsightly.
He didn't know who the other party was, nor did he know who Zhao Xiaodie was. However, this girl's reaction didn't seem to be fake.
"I'll have to ask her myself to know the whole story. I hope that Patriarch Pei can hand this person over to me. If it's confirmed that the Zhao Family did it, I will definitely give this girl an explanation and won't be biased towards the Zhao Family."
However, Pei Qianji said unhurriedly, "This is an internal matter of your family, and I shouldn't interfere. However, I came out this time to patrol the ancient clan on behalf of the Yue Zhengjia. You know that the Yue Zhengjia has always punished the clans that violate the rules of the ancient clan. This girl's experience is so pitiful, and I can't just stand by and watch.
How about this, I'll take care of her for now. The two of you can go back and investigate the matter. I promise I won't interfere. I just want to give Patriarch Yue an explanation when I return. What do you think? "
What do you think? Nothing!
The two elders of the Zhao Family were extremely annoyed.
For a family like theirs, this kind of thing was just a sesame seed or a mung bean.
They didn't expect to run into the Pei Family patrolling the ancient clan.
However, they couldn't help but feel lucky that it was the Pei Family. At least they could make an exception. If it was the Yue Zhengjia, the Zhao Family would be in trouble.
"If that's the case, we'll have to trouble Patriarch Pei. The two of us will definitely investigate as soon as possible and won't make things difficult for you. "
The second elder of the Zhao Family could only agree.
Pei Qianji nodded in satisfaction, but he was sneering in his heart.
The reason why the Zhao Family was so anxious to drive him away was probably because they wanted to monopolize the Gong Family.
A man who was never content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!
If it wasn't for Zhao Yixuan, the small Zhao Family would have declined ten years ago.
Now, he actually wanted a share of the profits from his hands. He was really getting old, and his brain was getting muddle-headed.
The two elders of the Zhao Family finally left resentfully.
Lin Mengya also heard that Pei Qianji was "passing by" with great fanfare.
However, compared to the Zhao Family, she wasn't familiar with the Pei Family.
Fortunately, Aunt Fang could provide her with relevant information in time.
"This Pei Family isn't simple. Fifty years ago, they were just a low-ranking clan among the upper flux clans. Later, after the development of the two patriarchs, they have become the second largest clan among the upper flux clans.
At the same time, they are related by marriage to the Yue Zhengjia, the head of the upper flux clans. The youngest daughter of the current patriarch is the concubine of the Yue Zhengjia. "
After listening to Aunt Fang's introduction, she could roughly guess the status of the Pei Family.
However, she was a little curious. Wasn't the Elders Guild the most powerful clan in the ancient clan? Why was there also the head of the upper flux clans?
Did the Elders Guild listen to the Yue Zhengjia? Or did the Yue Zhengjia listen to the Elders Guild?
Regarding this question, Aunt Fang gave her another answer that made her somewhat surprised.
"In the past, the ancient clans weren't independent. I heard from the elders in the clan that the oldest records of the ancient clans recorded that they had their own patriarch.
Whether it was the Yue Zhengjia, the Pei Family, or the Fang Family and the Zhao Family, they were all part of the same clan. However, later on, the patriarch disappeared for some unknown reason. The various clans also began to fight against each other for territory. In the end, because the strength of each clan was different, they were divided into upper flux clans and lower flux clans.
If the upper flux clans couldn't maintain a certain scale or even occupy a certain position in the Elders Guild, they would be kicked out of the upper flux clans. "
