If it were in the past, Lin Mengya would not have said such harsh words.
However, this Fifth Lord had chosen her out of all people. It could only mean that he was unlucky.
"Miss, you're really brave. Come on, bring out the Ganoderma of Phoenix Feather. I'd like to see how much she will offer."
Obviously, the Fifth Lord had been pushed to the extreme by Lin Mengya. Now he could not leave, and he would be humiliated.
He could not defeat her, and the girl in front of him was highly skilled in martial arts.
Left with no choice, he could only grit his teeth and take out the most precious item in the shop.
"Fifth Lord, this …"
The servant hesitated for a moment, and then went out with an embarrassed look.
"Miss, this Ganoderma of Phoenix Feather is one of the three treasures of the Dongfang family. If you really bring it out, it may not end well today. "
Baisu whispered in Lin Mengya's ear, but her eyes never left those people.
The Fifth Lord of the Dongfang family had a bad reputation.
His means were despicable, and he liked to play dirty tricks.
It would be fine if they were sensible today. But now Lin Mengya made it clear that she was going against him. How could he not hate her?
Even though Lin Mengya knew this, she still chose to do so.
Even if the Fifth Lord wanted to let it go, she would not give in.
While they were confronting each other in the inner room, there was a burst of noise outside.
Lin Mengya had excellent hearing. Naturally, everything outside could not escape her ears.
The general content was that the Fifth Lord's servant wanted to snatch the treasure of the shop by force.
And from the shopkeeper to the assistants, they all said all kinds of good words to fool these masters.
After all, some items were the lifelines of their store, and not just anyone could take them away.
After a long time, Lin Mengya looked at the Fifth Lord of the Dongfang family in front of her, and his face turned from white to green, and then from green to white.
The corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile. This time, he had boasted too much, hadn't he?
"Fifth Lord, I've been waiting for so long. Why haven't you brought your things here yet? Oh, is it because you can't make decisions for others after taking their things? "
Lin Mengya's ridicule made the Fifth Lord's face darken.
His eyes were practically spitting fire, and he couldn't wait to break the neck of the woman in front of him.
However, he had forgotten that he was the one who had brought this upon himself.
"It can't be that you're thinking of slipping away, right? I'll say the ugly words first. If this Phoenix Feather Divine Ganoderma is taken out and you're unable to name a price, its medicinal strength will be greatly reduced. At that time, don't blame me for being impolite. "
Compared to her understanding of herbs, she was not afraid of a hundred bullsh * t Lord Fives.
"If I didn't remember wrongly, the Divine Phoenix Feather Ganoderma is harvested from an extremely hot place, and the fresh product harvested is already comparable to the hardness of gold and jade. Moreover, if this medicine wants to be preserved well, it must be placed in an extremely dry place. Oh, right. Every summer, it was best to place it under the sun on a sunny day to ensure the medicinal properties. Don't tell me you don't want to bask in the sun? Aiya, it's going to grow moldy! "
Lin Mengya pretended to be surprised and looked at the guy in front of her. His words made the Fifth Lord speechless.
How dare he defame her? Dream on!
"You … So you're an expert. I'm sorry for my rudeness. Both of you, go together. "
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Now, except for Lin Mengya, everyone else could hear it clearly.
No matter how thick-skinned the Fifth Lord was, he couldn't stand it anymore.
His eyes were full of viciousness towards Lin Mengya and Baisu. Although he looked a little creepy, Lin Mengya was not afraid of him.
"Who dares to make trouble here!"
Finally, a cold shout came from outside.
The chaotic outer room finally calmed down temporarily.
The curtain leading to the inner room was lifted, and a face that Lin Mengya was very familiar with appeared.
"It turns out — it's you."
At this time, Dongfang Xu was no longer dressed as he was in the caravan at that time.
He was dressed in a deep purple robe. Compared to the merchant, he looked more like a decisive general who had fought on the battlefield.
"I'm He Lan. Nice to meet you, Mr. Dongfang."
Xiu would definitely tell the news of her coming to Lieyun to Dongfang Xu.
As one of her few acquaintances in Lieyun, and Dongfang Xu was close to Xiaoyu, Lin Mengya was not surprised to see him here.
"Come on, send Miss He Lan to the fourth floor. Fifth Lord, you're too insensible. "
Even the Fifth Lord felt extremely surprised. It should be known that every floor of the Dongfang Family's medicine shop had a special meaning.
Except for the first floor, anyone could enter.
From the second level onwards, only those with a certain status could enter.
And the fourth floor, only members of the royal family with power could enter.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that this woman was actually a member of the royal family?
"Thank you, Mr. Dongfang."
He nodded slightly. The next thing would be the internal strife between their families.
As an outsider, it was not suitable for him to get involved here.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Dongfang would come. In the past, although their families made a lot of trouble, Mr. Dongfang didn't easily intervene. "
The stairs were very spacious. Dongfang Xu's men led the way in front and politely kept a certain distance from Lin Mengya and Baisu.
Hearing Baisu's whisper in her ear, Lin Mengya actually had no fewer questions in her heart.
"Who knows? Maybe it's because they made a lot of trouble recently."
Lin Mengya said casually. In fact, every big family would more or less have some private secrets.
Even the Lin Family was not a monolithic block.
What was more, Xiu had told her about the disputes between these people. She was afraid that the Dongfang Family must be experiencing turmoil now.
But this was also good. Only when the old and the new were replaced could they be revitalized.
Lin Mengya was not worried about others, but about Xiu.
How could Lin Mengya not worry about her when she found out about her family background and her temperament?
When she walked to the fourth floor, Lin Mengya only felt that her eyes lit up.
On such a large floor, there were only a few chairs and a square table.
The windows on all sides were open, completely eliminating the possibility of eavesdropping.
"Miss, please."
The attendant was extremely polite. After settling them down, he turned around and went out.
After a while, fragrant tea and refreshments were served, and he left again.
"I didn't expect that Lord Dongfang would put us here. To be honest, it's my first time here. "
Baisu looked around in case someone put something in the dark.
However, it was so spacious here that even an ant might not be able to hide.
Lin Mengya also felt relieved. There was nothing wrong with being careful.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Mengya felt a little nervous.
Dongfang Xu treated her so politely, firstly because he knew her real identity, and secondly because of Xiu.
Others might not say it, but Dongfang Xu was the person who really cared about Xiu.
If he asked her, how should she answer?
She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Alas, why did she always encounter such tricky problems recently?
"Miss, you seem to be a little different from before."
Seeing Lin Mengya frowning and sighing, Baisu couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong?"
Turning her head, Lin Mengya didn't feel that she had changed.
"I just feel that although you were good in the past, you lacked a trace of worldly temperament. I always feel that you can see everything so clearly, and no matter what happens, you can't escape from your control. Now you seem to have something to worry about, just like us. "
Hearing Baisu's words, Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
She wanted to say that everything was Baisu thinking too much, but on second thought, she found it was true.
In the past, she didn't have too much sense of belonging to this strange world. She just regarded herself as a passer-by.
Since she knew that this was her home, she seemed to have calmed down a little.
A touch of warmth flashed across her heart. Suddenly, Lin Mengya felt that something in her heart was quickly taking root and sprouting.
Her heart, which was a little sour and painful because of feelings and responsibilities, seemed to have a chance to breathe.
"Baisu, I have to thank you."
Lin Mengya let out a sigh of relief, and her face relaxed.
Thinking about her previous uneasiness and embarrassment, she realized that it was actually because she put herself in a position that didn't match her.
Who was she? She was just the most ordinary person in the world.
It was only because of a coincidence that she had to bear some of the responsibility.
If not for her, there would be someone else.
Therefore, she didn't need to panic or put too much burden on herself. She just followed her nature and tried her best.
Previously, she was afraid that she was lost and weak.
She always thought that she could protect the people she should protect and accomplish what she had to do if she always maintained the appearance of a battle goddess.
But after all, she was an ordinary person. Why couldn't she be lost and weak?
Only when there was fear in the heart could one be more cautious.
The reason why she didn't dare to directly ask Long Tianyu about it was that she was afraid that she was not the only one for him. She was afraid that her feelings would be played by him, wasn't it?
The possibility that she couldn't have children was just an excuse for her subconsciously to avoid being hurt.
If Long Tianyu really loved her, why couldn't she accept it?
Lin Mengya suddenly felt that her previous cowardice and sadness seemed a little ridiculous.
In the medicine shop of the Dongfang family, Lin Mengya's heart finally completed the transformation from a little girl to a mature woman.
There came the sound of someone walking up the stairs outside the door. Lin Mengya adjusted her mind and naturally knew who it was.
She stood up to greet him. Dongfang Xu's figure at the door was mixed with an overbearing momentum that was difficult to be ignored.
It was probably because he had just finished dealing with family affairs.
