Lin Mengya had a thorough understanding of the ancient race's development history.
It turned out that the ancient race had once been a whole entity.
But later, it fell apart due to various reasons.
Some people wanted to advance, but unfortunately, they didn't have enough power and couldn't make all the clans submit to them.
Therefore, they could only push out a chief clan.
But this way, there were still other clans that weren't satisfied, so they created an elder council.
The relationship between the elder council and the chief clan could be considered to be mutual checks and balances.
However, over the years, the lower flux clans' weight in the elder council became smaller and smaller, and because of the suppression of the upper flux clans, they had few opportunities to turn things around.
The upper and lower strata were basically fixed.
And the struggle for power and resources was carried out by the upper flux clans.
As for the lower flux clans, they could only wait to pick up the scraps.
It was no wonder that the Li and Gan clans were so anxious. After all, they had been forced into a corner.
"The reason why the Fang clan wanted to attack the Huo clan was probably because they fancied the Huo clan's wealth and wanted to raise their status."
The moment Lin Mengya asked this question, she cursed inwardly.
But Aunt Fang's face didn't show any sadness.
"At that time, the Fang clan was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Even if they annexed the Huo clan, they wouldn't be able to protect it. It was just that my father couldn't see these things clearly and kept daydreaming, which led to a big mistake.
In fact, over the years, the Zhao clan had already emptied the Huo clan through the Fang clan. The Fang clan was just making a wedding dress for someone else. "
Aunt Fang clearly recognized the most fatal problem of the Fang family.
Lin Mengya nodded.
In fact, she had already discovered that the Fang clan was only outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
However, Aunt Fang's father, the current head of the Fang clan, couldn't see the situation clearly and felt that as long as he held onto the Zhao clan's thigh, he would be able to rest easy. But this was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.
Thus, the Fang clan would be swallowed up sooner or later. It was just that their arrival had catalyzed this process.
"So, this Pei clan is indeed powerful, but I don't think that they came just because they were passing by."
Lin Mengya was well aware of this.
There could never be so many coincidences in the world.
She had been in the ancient race for several months and had met many people from the elder council, but she had never heard of this Pei clan.
Moreover, this was after she had exposed her identity.
Passing by?
Heh, I'm afraid it's intentional, right?
Aunt Fang was obviously aware of this as well, and she could not help but feel her heart grow heavier.
Over the years, she had been carefully developing her own forces in secret.
However, there were some places that were beyond her reach.
For example, the Pei family and the Le Zheng family.
These two behemoths of the Ancient Clans seemed to have no weaknesses at all.
She had also asked her fellow fluxer clansmen whether there was anyone in these two clans who had the same regret as them.
But the result was meaningless.
These two clans had never heard of anyone marrying outside the clan.
After all, this was almost impossible.
Back then, the Huo family's status in the aboriginals wasn't low. In fact, before she married Huo Lang, there were many clans that were even more prominent than the Huo family that expressed their intentions to form a marriage alliance with the Huo family.
But in the end, Huo Lang chose her.
For some reason, those beautiful scenes from the past unconsciously surfaced in his mind.
Only then did Lin Mengya notice that Aunt Fang's expression was not quite right.
At first, it was nervous and worried, then it was contemplation, and finally, it was rippling?
She really did not want to use such an unsteady word to describe Aunt Fang.
But this affection that could not be concealed clearly showed that Aunt Fang was recalling some beautiful memories. Lin Mengya was sure that it had something to do with Uncle Huo!
Lin Mengya did not want to continue disturbing Aunt Fang, so she secretly closed the door and ran away.
She could understand that the two of them had been separated for so long. Although they could not relax and live together, at least they still had something to look forward to, right?
Unfortunately, Aunt Fang's relaxed and happy mood did not last long.
The two elders of the Zhao family were anxious to clarify the matter. After leaving Pei Qianji's place, they directly rushed to the Zhao mansion.
As soon as they entered the door, they directly asked Fang Rao, "Who is Zhao Xiaodie? Call her out!"
Fang Rao was originally dissatisfied with them, and now her attitude became even more unyielding.
"Zhao Xiaodie's body is not convenient right now. If you have something to say, just say it to me."
"Say it to you? It seems that you are very familiar with this Zhao Xiaodie? "
The second grandfather of the Zhao family looked at her unkindly.
Although Fang Rao was afraid of them, she was not afraid to the extent that she would be obedient.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaodie was a weak girl. Even her biological mother had died. What trouble could she cause?
She was determined to protect this person!
"She just gave birth a few days ago, so she can't see guests. Why are you looking for her, uncles?"
Another one who gave birth!
The second grandfather of the Zhao family had been holding back a lot of anger because of Lin Mengya.
Now, when he heard that Zhao Xiaodie also looked down on him because she gave birth, his face immediately darkened.
"She just gave birth to a child. Women are born to do this. As long as she is not dead, call her out!"
What was this?
Fang Rao couldn't help but sneer. "That person definitely wouldn't come out to see the two uncles. However, I'm familiar with her. No matter what she did or what mistake she made, I can apologize to the two uncles on her behalf."
"Do you think you can replace him? She has offended the master of the Pei family! Fang Rao, I have tolerated you for the sake of my nephew. Don't be unable to tell what's good for you!
If you annoy the master of the Pei family, not to mention you, even if you bring out the whole Fang family, it will not be enough to make the master of the Pei family angry! "
Fang Rao was surprised that this matter could be related to the Pei family.
She pursed her lips. Then she could not hand Xiaodie over to them.
"Uncles, may I ask if there's a misunderstanding here? Zhao Xiaodie is docile and obedient. Since the snow closed the door, she has been waiting at home to give birth. I guarantee with my life that she will not do anything evil! "
Fang Rao did not believe that Zhao Xiaodie could anger the Pei family.
Such a weak and pitiful person couldn't even take revenge on the death of her own mother, let alone hurt other people.
But the second grandfather of the Zhao family said coldly, "After hearing what you said, I suspect that Zhao Xiaodie has ulterior motives. She is at home, but she can secretly instruct others to do evil. She is very vicious! "
The more Fang Rao listened, the more she frowned.
"No matter what the two uncles say, I still believe that Zhao Xiaodie is innocent!"
The third grandfather of the Zhao family was also very impatient. He shouted angrily with a sullen face, "Do you really think that you can hide it from us? We have already found out that the only person who has enmity with Xue Lanfang is Zhao Xiaodie! Her mother was killed by Xue Lanfang's aunt, and Xue Lanfang almost stole her husband.
So she harbors hatred and is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge! "
Fang Rao's heart suddenly trembled.
"Uncles, you mean …"
"Xue Lanfang was humiliated by Zhao Xiaodie! The master of the Pei family happened to see this. Fang Rao, do you know that this matter is enough to ruin the whole Zhao family? "
It was so serious!
In the end, Fang Rao clenched her teeth and refused to hand over Zhao Xiaodie.
The two elders of the Zhao family were also very angry.
They gave her an ultimatum that she must hand over Zhao Xiaodie tomorrow. Otherwise, they would not be polite and come to arrest her themselves!
Lin Mengya also found out about this matter a little later.
Aunt Fang was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. Moreover, they all knew that Zhao Xiaodie must be innocent. If they really handed Zhao Xiaodie over, in order to please the master of the Pei family, the two elders of the Zhao family would definitely want to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
So the best result was to force Zhao Xiaodie to confess!
What awaited her would be the fate of reuniting with her mother in the underworld.
"I've already made the necessary arrangements. We'll be able to send them away immediately!"
Aunt Fang was still the same as before. If she could not afford to fight, she would hide.
As long as she was alive, nothing else mattered.
But Lin Mengya exposed Aunt Fang's plan.
"They must have taken precautions. Not to mention that the Zhao family is not easy to deal with, do you think the Pei family will let them go easily?"
The Pei family came with a purpose.
If they could not achieve their goal, they would definitely not give up.
Moreover, if Zhao Xiaodie's mother fell into the hands of the Pei family, she would naturally become a hostage, which would be more dangerous.
"I was so anxious that I became muddle-headed. Yes, we can't go!"
Aunt Fang calmed down.
Too many things had happened recently, so she had not come to her senses until now.
But after all, she was not a housewife who would only panic when things happened.
She thought about it for a while before she realized that if she really secretly sent them away, it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth. She would really be harming them!
"I think the most important thing now is to figure out this matter."
Lin Mengya knocked on her smooth forehead.
"Didn't Zhao Xiaodie's mother come to make a scene before, saying that Xue Lanfang had been kidnapped? How could it be such a coincidence that the Pei family would run into her? "
Lin Mengya did not pay attention to this matter before, because she thought it was not important.
But she did not expect that someone with ulterior motives would bring it up.
Aunt Fang was also thinking about this matter.
"I don't think it's such a coincidence. Why don't we go to see Xiaodie first, and then find out who this Xue Lanfang is from the side?"
Lin Mengya nodded. It seemed that this was the only way.
The two of them went to the small courtyard where the pregnant women were resting.
No matter how tense the situation outside was, it was still warm and comfortable here, revealing Aunt Fang's intentions as the owner.
Lin Mengya browsed around and had a small idea in her mind. If Aunt Fang and Uncle Huo left in the future, she could consider cooperating with Aunt Fang to set up a confinement center or something.
In fact, the market prospects were good.
After all, except for a few families who would treat the pregnant women harshly, most families with a little bit of money were very willing to give the pregnant women and newborns.
Her confinement center could also be divided into several grades according to the different services.
Moreover, the Gong family did not have much else, but they had a lot of real estate.
Moreover, in the name of the big chamber of commerce, she had people buy a lot of real estate all over the country.
It seemed that these things might be useful in the future!
Moreover, the confinement center was not the most important thing, but she could use it to build her own network all over the country.
Don't underestimate the role of a madam in communication. Sometimes, a word from the person next to you could be worth more than ten thousand taels of gold!
Lin Mengya, who was thinking about going astray, came to her senses after a long time and listened to Aunt Fang talking to Zhao Xiaodie.
