Of course, the truth was not as extravagant as those people thought.
At least that secret room was originally used to store important things in the Huo family. Although there were traces of it being used, it was actually empty.
It was also thanks to Uncle Huo and Huo Xiao's strong assistance.
She originally wanted to find a place with fewer people to blow up the secret room. She just needed to attract most of the attention.
However, the father and son strongly insisted that the place be the secret room of the Huo family.
In their own words, "Even if the Huo family's things were thrown to the ground to rot, they would not let that dog take them away so easily!"
As for why they chose this critical time to set up the Pei family, of course, it was to take revenge on the Pei family for taking their ancient books.
Lin Mengya could only say, "Well done!"
At this time, as they expected, the Pei family was in a terrible situation.
"Useless! You're all a bunch of useless people! "
Pei Qianji's eyes were red as he scolded these unimportant people in front of him.
However, the matter of the Huo family's inheritance had caused a lot of trouble before.
Even if he denied it now, he was afraid that it would be useless.
The only thing they could be thankful for was that the place where the Pei family's secret room was blown up happened to be an empty secret room. As long as the door of the secret room was not opened, it would not affect the outside.
But this matter was finally exposed.
The reason why those people did not make a move now was that they had not yet agreed on how to divide the wealth.
If they came to an agreement, then what awaited the Pei Family would be the fate of being skinned alive.
At the thought of this, Pei Qianji's old face could not help but continue to show cruelty and viciousness.
No way!
He had tried his best to get to where he was today.
No matter what, he could not stop now!
But unexpectedly, outside the door, his confidant stumbled in.
"Master, master! Bad news! Those people came to the Elders' Assembly and said that they want us to take back all the things that we have taken from the Huo family over the years, so that the Elders' Assembly can redistribute them! "
In the end, the solid wood square table that had been carrying too much couldn't escape the fate of being smashed into pieces.
"Boom!" Sawdust flew everywhere.
The sharp wooden splinter brushed past Pei Qianji's cheek, drawing out a bright red line of blood. However, it made his expression look exceptionally ferocious.
"That group of short-sighted trash! When have I ever mistreated them all these years? Ha! Those things from the Huo family are nothing. If it wasn't for … "
Even though he was so angry that he almost lost his mind, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
But when he thought of his true trump card, his expression changed again.
In the end, he was no longer so flustered and exasperated, but in his eyes, there was a hint of gloating.
"It doesn't matter. Tell the people below that they can come if they want. It's just that these years, they've eaten a lot of my offerings. If they really want to kill me after I've outlived my usefulness, I'll fight them to the death! "
However, he was very confident.
He had already seen through it long ago. The aboriginals were nothing but empty shells.
In the past, he had good intentions. That was why he thought that after he became the leader, he would at least help his own clansmen.
Who asked them to be so ungrateful to him?
Alright.
It was time to teach them a good lesson.
Thinking of this, Pei Qianji sat back in his armchair as if nothing had happened.
He looked as if he would not be affected by the storm.
He just had to wait for the aboriginals to stir up this pool of stagnant water even more.
.....
Due to the Chief Elder's illness and the incident in the secret chamber of the Huo family, the clan meeting, which was supposed to be of utmost importance, was postponed for the first time.
But compared to the aboriginals who had racked their brains to get a share of the Huo family's inheritance, Lin Mengya and her people were much more composed.
But Lin Mengya's heart was already itching to stir up trouble.
Just at this moment, she welcomed two friends whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Jinzi! I've missed you so much! "
Qian Jinzi, who was travel-worn and his face was covered in dust, received a warm welcome from Lin Mengya the moment he arrived.
But the lesson he had learned made him take a few steps back and hide behind the mute man.
Lin Mengya's smile froze on her face.
Tsk, what did this mean?
"I'm warning you! I don't even have a single tael of silver on me. Why don't you find someone else to scam? "
Then, he covered the money bag for the mute man.
"He doesn't have any more!"
Lin Mengya stopped where she was and thought for about five seconds. Suddenly, she calmly pulled out a jade pendant from her waist.
"Then you don't want this either, do you? Then I'll … "
Qian Jinzi, who had been avoiding her a moment ago, was like a cat that had smelled dried fish. His eyes lit up and he rushed towards her jade pendant.
Lin Mengya laughed coldly and kept the jade pendant.
"You want it? It's too late!"
Qian Jinzi had lost all his dignity at this moment.
She immediately smiled and bowed down.
"Oh, Sister Gong, you're treating me like an outsider! We're old customers here. Who's with whom? Aren't we? "
Lin Mengya said, "I remember you used to call me boss, right?"
However, Qian Jinzi said ingratiatingly, "We're strangers at first, but then we'll get to know each other better. What I value the most is maintaining a relationship with my employer. Look, when you sent a letter this time, we almost broke several horses' legs. We rushed here as soon as we could. This affection can't be measured by money, right? "
Lin Mengya said, "Humph! I'll be surprised if I believe you! "
She took back the jade pendant without hesitation.
Although Qian Jinzi felt wronged, he did not dare to say a word.
He could only follow Lin Mengya timidly, with his head down, as depressed as he could be.
Zheng Yuan, who was watching from the side, laughed.
However, he had no sympathy for his good friend at all.
Let him decide for himself, serves him right!
After entering the courtyard, Qian Jinzi and Zheng Yuan were sent back to the room where they were staying.
Inside, there was already a steaming hot bath water and a clean change of clothes.
Zheng Yuan had just unbuttoned his clothes when he heard a burst of laughter from the room next door.
"Hahahaha, I knew it. Sister Gong is so generous that she would definitely give me a welcome gift!"
Zheng Yuan's movements paused, and his expression gradually softened.
Because his room was also filled with the fragrance of the medicine that helped him calm down.
Moreover, it was from the bathtub.
One look and they knew that Master Gong was considerate.
They were a little nervous just now, but when they saw the room that Lin Mengya had prepared for them, they calmed down.
At least here, they were not just cold partners.
They could be counted as friends.
After dinner, Lin Mengya asked the servants to take away the things.
Although they could not welcome Qian Jinzi and Zheng Yuan, they were familiar with each other. After dinner, they became familiar with each other again.
Lin Mengya officially entrusted the safety of the two babies to Qian Jinzi and Zheng Yuan.
"I have no problem with looking after the babies, but …"
Qian Jinzi hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly, "You know, the Pei family is my former employer."
There were some things that he did not find difficult to talk about.
But he was very clear that he had committed too many sins in this life. He did not think about it in the past because he felt that this was the end of his life.
It was better to live more freely, so that he would not regret it on the day of his death.
But now, there was a glimmer of hope in life.
But he could not bear to die, and he could not bear to let this glimmer of hope disappear.
Perhaps, the only right thing that he had done was to feel compassion for Little Fubao.
And this little bit of compassion became his greatest salvation in this life.
But in the end, he still had to be punished.
He felt a little more at ease when he mentioned his former employer.
"The Pei family is not as clean as it looks. They have done a lot of shady business in private. If we don't kill them in one shot, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble. "
His words made everyone's hearts tense up.
Lin Mengya glanced at Yue Zhengzitan.
The latter was thoughtfully looking at Qian Jinzi's side profile, wondering if he had seen him before.
"Ahem, Second Young Master." She called out to him.
Yue Zhengzitan looked over and saw Lin Mengya mouthing to him — medicine box.
So, she wanted to let Qian Jinzi see the medicine box that he risked his life to get?
Instinctively, he wanted to refuse.
But when he thought of how he had almost missed the best time to cooperate with Gong Ya because of his wild suspicions, he hesitated for a moment.
Then, after thinking for a while, he nodded gently.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief, and then she took out the two small medicine boxes that she had reserved.
"Take a look first, do you recognize this thing?"
Qian Jinzi's relaxed face changed instantly when he saw the medicine box in her hand.
Everyone present could feel that this person had suddenly become a thousand miles away from everyone.
Especially the hatred in his eyes, as if that thing was his father's murderer!
"Where did you get it?" He squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
Lin Mengya looked at his expression and was about to speak, but Yue Zhengzitan spoke before her.
"I stole it from the Pei family."
"Impossible! You're lying! "
Qian Jinzi suddenly fell into a rage.
He took a few steps to stand in front of Yue Zhengzitan, and grasped his collar tightly with both hands.
"The Pei family would never give this to their own people! Where did you get it, tell me! "
Qian Jinzi's words were filled with bone-deep hatred.
Now he seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes were wide open, and his grip became tighter.
