He didn't expect that the news that his father brought would make the Shen family's massacre even more confusing.
Now, his father had found out that the 15 members of the Shen family were all killed by the unique skill of the Shangguan family. It seemed that even if it was not Shangguan Lei who did it, the real murderer must be from the Shangguan family.
It was a pity that Lord Shen was dead, and the capital governor blocked the matter in time.
Whether the injustice of Lord Shen's family could be cleared, at present, it all depended on the Emperor's decision.
Now, it seemed that in order to temporarily stabilize the Shangguan family, the emperor might turn this matter into a small one, and it was more likely to turn a small one into nothing.
"It seems that the matter of Uncle Shen's family is not as simple as it seems. It seems that we still have to pay attention to this matter secretly. Father, don't worry. I've sent more people. No matter what the government does, we will know immediately. "
Lin Mengya comforted her father, but she had her own plan.
Shangguan Lei was indeed vicious and merciless in this matter. However, there were also many repercussions.
She believed that they would do something to temporarily offset the possible impact of this matter.
What she should do was to seize this opportunity to completely cut off Shangguan Lei's way out!
"I, Lin Muzhi, am irreconcilable with the Shangguan family!"
His father gritted his teeth, and his eyes were already filled with the light of hatred.
The Shangguan family murdered his beloved woman first, and then plotted against his only daughter. Now, in order to warn those colleagues who were on good terms with him, they did such a crazy thing.
He would kill them with his own hands while he was still alive!
"Father, don't worry. I will help you."
Lin Mengya's expression gradually became cold. Speaking of which, the Shangguan family and her family really had a deep hatred.
Lin Mengya would never forget this entanglement!
In the darkness of the night, the father and daughter of the Lin family gradually lost their last scruples. All that was left was a sharpness that had been polished by hatred.
At this time, the old house of the Shangguan family was also not peaceful.
Compared with the quiet and elegant Lin family, the Shangguan family, which was the mother's family and had many family members holding important positions, was obviously more imposing than the Marquis Zhennan's Mansion.
In the darkness of the night, the solemn old residence was still brightly lit. The huge courtyard with three entrances was perimeter and spacious. Even though it was located outside the walls of the Imperial City where the rich and powerful gathered, it was still like a giant. Set off by the mansions of the princes and dukes, it showed its extraordinary status.
However, the extremely wealthy Shangguan family was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere.
In the courtyard, when all the servants saw the figure wrapped in a pure black cloak, they would immediately bow their heads respectfully and silently kneel on the ground.
Those who were timid had already started to tremble.
That was because everyone knew that whenever this fiend was in a bad mood, this place would become her hunting ground.
No matter who it was, they would not be able to escape the palm of her hand.
Today, this God of Death did not seem to be in a good mood. Therefore, they did not know who among them would become the human target of this big shot today.
He knelt there in fear, fearing that misfortune would befall him.
However, the black figure walked past them in a hurry.
She had no time to care about these worthless trash.
A pair of fair and slender hands suddenly pushed open the door of the Shangguan family's assembly hall.
The people gathered inside all turned their heads and looked at the young girl standing at the entrance with a frosty expression.
"You are courting death!"
The girl's voice was cold and seemed to be a little angry.
Inside the door, all the core members of the Shangguan family were sitting.
Sitting in the seat of honor was a white-haired old man in a light cyan robe. His facial features were resolute and heroic.
Even though his face was full of wrinkles, he still gave people a feeling that he could not be underestimated.
He was the real person in charge of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Lei. Even though he was over 70 years old, his body was still strong and strong.
It was also because of this that the Shangguan family, which was controlled by him, could rise steadily and finally become an existence that everyone looked up to.
The girl's shout made everyone's expression change instantly.
However, Shangguan Lei, who was sitting in the seat of honor, just glanced at the girl indifferently. Then, he became calm.
"Cousin Mengru, what are you talking about? Is there any misunderstanding? "
In the hall, a handsome young man standing in a conspicuous position greeted them with a warm and flattering smile.
The young man was fair-skinned and tall, so he had always been the idol of many girls in the family.
It was just that he was usually very arrogant and never took anyone seriously.
It was already very rare for him to take the initiative to flatter a girl.
"Shangguan Lin, get out of my way! I don't want to see your hypocrisy. I'm the princess. Who do you think you are? Don't think that you can be my cousin just because this is my maternal family! "
Who would have thought that the girl would not give him face at all?
The man named Shangguan Lin instantly froze on the spot.
After his expression changed slightly, he finally retreated indignantly under the gloating gazes of the crowd.
The girl took off her cloak. She was dressed in a light pink palace dress, which made her look delicate and lovely.
However, her little face, which was full of arrogance, did not make people treat her as an ordinary girl at all.
She walked to the seat beside Shangguan Lei, where there happened to be an empty seat.
She sat down impolitely, looked around, and glared fiercely at those dissatisfied gazes.
"Humph, don't try to play tricks with me here. Although my mother is in the palace, she is not completely unaware of what is going on outside. Today, I'll say the ugly words here. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation about the matter of the Shen family, my mother will definitely not let you get away with it! "
The young lady's gloomy tone made everyone in the meeting hall suck in a cold breath.
She was the most distinguished princess in the palace, Long Mengru.
Others might not know, but the people of the Shangguan family knew it very well.
If the Empress sent her most trusted daughter to denounce them, it meant that the Empress was really angry.
This time, it would be difficult to handle.
Long Mengru snorted coldly and sat upright on the chair, not giving face to anyone.
This afternoon, the Empress' mother learned that the Shen family had been exterminated.
Moreover, their people also learned from the coroner that the cause of death of 15 people was the unique skill of her maternal grandfather's family.
In this way, anyone with a little brain would know that it was done by the Shangguan family.
Although her mother had helped them cover up a little so that they could make progress in this matter, if not, she would have been the one standing here today.
"Mengru, don't be rude. Your maternal grandfather is still here. How can you be so impolite? What a scandal! "
The one who spoke was Old Madam Shangguan, who was sitting next to Shangguan Lei.
In this family, she spoiled this intelligent granddaughter the most, so she had the best relationship with Long Mengru.
Now, only her words could make Long Mengru listen to them.
Since her maternal grandmother, who had the best relationship with her, had said so, Long Mengru could only suppress the anger in her heart.
However, this matter was not over yet. She was just giving face to her maternal grandmother for the time being.
Seeing that Long Mengru had shut up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They all knew that once this little princess, who was like a devil, lost her temper, she would not care about anything.
Everything that was to be discussed in the meeting hall had quietly come to an end.
Shangguan Lei glanced at the family members who wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, then he waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Everyone could not wait to immediately retreat under the little girl's terrifying gaze.
In the blink of an eye, the meeting hall, which was crowded with people, was completely empty.
Long Mengru still sat there, too lazy to look at anyone.
Finally, there were only the three of them left here.
Long Mengru looked impatient, but she couldn't lose her temper because the other party was her maternal ancestor.
"Girl, why did you come out in the middle of the night? If your father finds out, won't he punish you again? "
Since there were no outsiders, Old Madam Shangguan's expression also faded from her serious face.
She got up, held her granddaughter's hand lovingly, and reproached her with a face full of worry.
"Grandma, you love me so much. I didn't want to come out so late. You don't know how angry Mother was. Even I was reprimanded. If I didn't come to ask clearly, what if Mother got sick because of anger? "
In front of others, Long Mengru was an existence that made people tremble in fear.
But in front of her grandmother, she still showed the appearance of a little girl who liked to act like a spoiled child.
She pouted her little mouth aggrievedly and told her grandmother about her difficulties.
"I really pity my granddaughter, and your mother is also so pitiful. It's just a small matter. How could you vent your anger on my granddaughter? One day, I'll personally vent your anger on her. "
Hearing her grandmother's words, Long Mengru finally put on a smile on her face.
Since she was a child, her grandmother had doted on her the most. If she made a mistake, her grandmother would use all kinds of reasons to keep her at home, and then let her go back to the palace when her mother's anger subsided.
Now, most of the grievances in her heart had dissipated. She was not as cold as she had been a moment ago.
She smiled coquettishly and helped her grandmother to sit down, and she became much more obedient.
"What did your mother say about this matter?"
However, Shangguan Lei did not spoil this granddaughter too much.
However, when he talked about his eldest daughter, who he was so proud of, a hint of worry flashed across his sharp eyes.
The pupil had surpassed the master. She was the daughter he was most proud of, but at the same time, she was also the daughter he was most afraid of.
Long Mengru, who was comforted by her grandmother, sighed softly and then said in a low voice.
