Although Long Mengru still looked angry, in front of her grandfather, she was much calmer.

Shangguan Lei's meaningful eyes turned to his granddaughter, but after a while, they were diverted.

I really don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, compared to the grandson who is not successful, it turns out to be this girl, more like her mother, a person, and more means.

If Mengru is a man, then he doesn't have to think about it anymore.

"What your mother means, I understand. This matter was done privately by your uncle. Man, I have already punished. You go back to your mother, and she doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Although Shangguan Lei had punished his son, he didn't feel that he had any mistakes in his tone.

Long Mengru's delicate brows furrowed slightly, for many years, her grandfather had been away from home, and she didn't care about the affairs in the family, and let her mother make the decisions.

What does this mean now?

"What do you mean by that? Don't you know, grandfather, that this matter is enough to give my father a reason to eradicate our Shangguan family? Don't you know how the queen mother has worked hard to maintain herself over the years? ”

Long Mengru was a little excited, but she was actually more concerned about if the Shangguan family suffered a heavy blow, then her position with the queen mother would also be implicated.

Because of the excitement, the words were much more intense.

However, when I saw my grandfather's eagle eyes, he was like a stranger and froze himself.

Long Mengru, but suddenly, there were no words.

That look was definitely not the look of a grandfather looking at his granddaughter.

It's more like looking at your opponent.

A very short moment, but it made Long Mengru's heart alarm bells ring.

Although the chill in Shangguan Lei's eyes was fleeting, Long Mengru, who was naturally extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, still sensed something from his grandfather's attitude.

In my heart, I suppressed anger and trembling.

Years of life in the palace have long cultivated her perfect camouflage methods.

Even if he noticed something, the expression on Long Mengru's face was not the slightest, and there was no flaw.

Perhaps, in the eyes of her grandfather, she is just a willful princess.

So, let them think like this forever.

"If you reply like this, your mother will understand. For so many years, she has also worked hard. So, I'm back to help her. Okay, you can have her sent back. There are many people in the palace, so don't let her be discovered. ”

Shangguan Lei, as the patriarch of the entire family, naturally had the most weight when he said it.

Even the old lady of Shangguan has to obey her husband's orders.

Holding her granddaughter's hand, Mrs. Shangguan naturally knew that her granddaughter, who had always been stubborn, was naturally dissatisfied with this result.

No, now, they have to accept Shangguan Lei's arrangement for the time being.

Pulled by her grandmother, Long Mengru looked resentful and went to the inner courtyard where her relatives lived.

Stepping into the courtyard where her grandmother lived, the smell of the fragrance of orchids made the expression on Long Mengru's face slightly relieved.

When she was a child, she often came here to play, but because she was young and her skin was delicate, she rarely had to be bitten by small insects.

Therefore, my grandmother asked people to cultivate this kind of orchid that can repel insects except in winter.

As soon as he smelled this smell in his nose, which was hidden deep in his memory, Long Mengru's mood naturally improved slightly.

Here, my grandmother is the only one who really loves her and her mother.

took his granddaughter to the inner hall, waved his hand, and sent away all the outsiders in the house.

Under the bright lights and candles, the noble and proud face of the old lady of Shangguan is only doting on her granddaughter at this moment.

"Grandmother, look at your grandfather. At the beginning, how difficult it was for my mother to survive to be like this, others don't know, but you, you know everything, don't you? ”

Snuggled up to her grandmother aggrievedly, Long Mengru knew very well that her grandmother and grandfather did not have the same heart.

Sure enough, her grandmother caressed her hair lovingly, but the soft whispers that came into her ears made Long Mengru's heart shake slightly.

"Your grandfather, you made those people confused. I have long said that there can be something good that crawls out of the belly of the play. Alas, it's a pity for Zhu'er and Qing'er. If it weren't for my incompetence, your uncle wouldn't have been..."

Long Mengru also knows a lot about this matter.

My grandmother was born in a wealthy family, and she was a good match with my grandfather.

It's just that my grandmother was not blessed when she was young, and after giving birth to her own mother and two daughters with her aunt, she gave birth to a sick and weak baby boy.

Since childhood, this uncle of hers has grown up like he was soaked in potions.

Although his mind is outstanding, his body is a sick seedling that has to shake three times when the wind blows.

This will still be a drag on ordinary people, not to mention, is it a family of military generals like them?

So, my grandfather took in a few more concubines.

Fortunately, my grandmother is very powerful, and my grandfather also respects him a lot, so these concubines have not been able to stir up any waves.

It's just that the sons they gave birth to are tougher than one another.

Now that the son is older, if it weren't for the queen mother's gains, I'm afraid that those concubines would have wanted to climb on the head of the grandmother for a long time.

"Hmph, do you dare to compete with your uncle for the position? Now, I want to stretch my hand into the palace even more, damn it! ”

In Long Mengru's heart, he didn't treat those guys as his uncles.

Since they are concubines, they are destined to become stepping stones for their noble concubines.

But now, these dogs actually dare to climb on the head of their owners, this is called her, how can she endure!

"Therefore, you and your mother must be careful. Now, I haven't been with your grandfather for long, and those foxes must not blow any good wind in his ears. At home, I can still hold it down for the time being, but you will be in the palace in the future, but it will be difficult. ”

The old lady of Shangguan is most worried, of course, her daughter and grandsons.

nodded with a heavy heart, if now, the queen mother and herself lose the support of her grandfather's family, then there will be a lot of obstacles on the road to winning the heir.

A vicious cold color flashed through those bright eyes.

If they are really in the way, then they have to prepare in advance.

No one can block their way, if they don't know each other, then they can only send them to see the ancestors of the Shangguan family!

Tonight, no matter where it is, is destined to be unpeaceful.

Lin Mengya had only slept for half an hour, and the person, in the dark night, opened her eyes.

sighed faintly, since he and Long Tianyu became husband and wife, he was always held in his arms and fell asleep.

Now, without his embrace, Lin Mengya only feels that she seems to be a little unaccustomed.

lit the night candle, but she found that there was a dark shadow standing in front of the door at some point.

Just wanted to call someone, Qinghu's worried face was gradually revealed in the candlelight.

"I'm scared to death, it's so late, what are you doing here without sleeping?"

Lin Mengya patted her chest gently, and then, a warm shirt with Qinghu's body draped over her back.

"When I went to the Shen Mansion today, I found some clues. The deaths of these people may be related to the Candle Dragon Society. Therefore, I think it is better for you and your father not to get involved in this matter. ”

Qinghu's expression was solemn, if it were not for the participation of the Candle Dragon Club, Lin Mengya would be safe.

It's just that now, the connection between him and the Candle Dragon Society has some anomalies.

As a result, he now, he has no exact understanding of the actions of the Candle Dragon Society. Naturally, there are more worries in my heart.

"It's the Candle Dragon Society again, what the hell do they want to do?"

This haunting thing is now even more involved in this matter.

But aren't they secretly colluding with the prince and the queen?

Could it be that the destruction of the Shen family was the instruction of the queen and the crown prince?

Lin Mengya thought for a moment, but she still felt that she seemed to be missing something.

Seeing that she was thinking so hard, Qinghu didn't bother anymore.

After all, Lin Mengya has her plans, and the people of the Candle Dragon Club also have their way of acting.

As long as she is not exposed, Lin Mengya's safety can be barely guaranteed.

However, the premise is that she is not on the mission list of the Candle Dragon Society.

"Father said that later another group of people went to the Shen family to look for things, have you seen what they are looking for?"

Qinghu thought about it, but shook his head.

"They rummaged very carefully, but when I looked at it later, I really couldn't see any clues. Oh yes, if anything, is missing. It was a hairpin on Mrs. Shen's head, which seemed to disappear after that. Because before, Mrs. Shen's head was the only one with her eyes closed and her face serene. So, I remember it very clearly. ”

Compared to martial arts, his father may be better than Qinghu.

But for this kind of detailed thing, my father may not necessarily be careful with Qinghu.

"There's only one hairpin missing, are you sure? Do you remember what the hairpin was like? ”

Qinghu tried to recall, after all, he just glanced at it.

After a long time, Qinghu could only shake his head, indicating that he was powerless.

He can remember, it's already very good. If you want him to remember, it's really hard for some strong people.

"Perhaps, it's just a gang of thieves who take advantage of the fire to rob."

Lin Mengya herself will not believe this reason.

But she has no extra clues, and now everything is in the hands of the emperor's people, even if she wants to participate, I am afraid that the emperor will not agree.

It's just that now she is trapped at home, if she hadn't run home by herself, I'm afraid that now she can only be a captive canary in the palace.

She had to do something to help her father and Long Tianyu.
