Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 317 Forming an Alliance
In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Fifth Young Mistress agreed to accompany Luo Yunrui to visit Sixth Young Mistress without saying a word.

Because the Dongyuan had been destroyed by fire, the old lady and the sixth young mistress, mother and son, lived together in the guest courtyard.There should be quite a few people in the original family, or in other words, more than a hundred years ago, the family must have been a large and prosperous family.But yes, if the population at that time was not prosperous, it would be impossible for the two teams that made mistakes to be expelled from the family together.

Of course, since there is no need to worry about what happened back then, no matter whether it is Qin Shaotian's branch or the other branch, they will not argue over the disputes that happened more than a hundred years ago.Anyway, the form of the family is fairly fair, and there is no need to frame any members of the clan.

Although the courtyard of our family was extremely luxurious more than a hundred years ago, after all, so much time has passed, and even recently it has been repaired, but the guest courtyard is obviously not within the scope of repairs.

The guest courtyard is not small, and it seems to be twice as big as the original Dongyuan, but most of the houses look dilapidated, except for a few wing rooms near the door that can barely accommodate people.

Luo Yunrui scanned the guest courtyard and subconsciously glanced at Fifth Young Mistress.

The expression on the face of the Fifth Young Mistress was more surprised than that of Luo Yunrui. She had only heard that the long room had moved from Dongyuan to the guest courtyard, but in fact she had never been here, even this time The maidservant led the way, she just had the right to accompany Luo Yunrui.

"This... this courtyard is really wonderful." The fifth young lady stared for a long time, and finally said this, and then looked at the gatekeeper coldly: "I didn't know that there was not even one person in the house. The better yards are gone.”

My family's house is very large, and a lot of yards have been repaired before.Although the guest courtyard is not within the scope of repairs, there are quite a few vacant courtyards that have been repaired.Besides, even if there is no good yard, the big deal is to squeeze with others. Anyway, there are only three masters in the long house, so there is no need to let the masters live in the dilapidated house, while the maids and women in the other rooms live in it. tidy house.

Luo Yunrui also restrained her smile and looked at the woman in the guest courtyard.

The old woman was seen with a bright face, and under the urging of the fifth young lady and the two maids, she stepped forward and replied: "Fifth young lady, this is not arranged by the old slave. The old slave has been staying here before. , responsible for looking after the guest house, I heard that the sixth young lady is coming to live here, and the old servant even cleaned up the two best rooms."

Fifth Young Mistress's complexion was very ugly. From the perspective of her status, she looked down on the sect of the long house.One is the old lady who was abandoned by the old man, and the other is the sixth young lady who was brought up by the maid.But even so, she doesn't bother to treat them harshly, at most she can take advantage of her lip service once in a while.In particular, it's not just the old lady and the sixth young mistress who live in the guest house, but also their serious and serious brother-in-law.

No matter how low the Sixth Young Mistress's status is, since her status has been determined now, there is no doubt that the elder brother she gave birth to is a direct descendant.

"Really? Then tell me, who arranged these things?" Fifth Young Mistress also understands that if an old woman guarding the door can't control her master, then the only possibility is that someone among the masters is deliberately embarrassing her. The long room faction.

"Yes...it's the Eighth Young Master." The old woman guarding the door hesitated for a long time, but finally told the truth.Although the eighth young master is the master, this one in front of him is also the master.It's okay for the masters to have conflicts, but if she, a servant, offends the Fifth Young Mistress, she has no way to justify it once she is sold out.

"Hmph, a bastard dares to attack the eldest son!" Fifth Young Mistress's face was livid with anger, but she was not completely complaining about Sixth Young Mistress's injustice, but felt that Sixth Young Mistress's present was her future.Fortunately, the sixth young lady gave birth to a son, but she only had a daughter.Today, the eighth young master dared to attack the long house without the support of males, why would he not attack them in the future?

"Fifth Young Mistress, don't be angry, why don't we go in and take a look first?" After all, it's a family matter. Although Luo Yunrui really hoped that the other team could fight each other, she didn't want to provoke so obviously.

Food should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done slowly one by one.

"Rui'er, you are right, let's go see the sixth sibling first." Fifth Young Mistress took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the resentment in her heart.No matter what, their faction and the eldest house are not supported by adult males. Even if they have the title of a descendant, it will be useless for future competition for family property.

However, after entering the door, Fifth Young Mistress' complexion became even worse.

From the outside, these two houses are slightly better than the other dilapidated ones, at least they look tidy.As long as the house is tidied up properly, it's okay to live here for a while.

But the fact is not the case at all.

The house was kept clean, or should I say very clean.Except for a table and a few stools, there is nothing else in the outer room.The door of the inner room is open, and there is an earthen kang in the lee, and there is nothing else on the kang except a bedding and a small wooden table.

Luo Yunrui looked at the Sixth Young Mistress who was sitting on the kang with her back to them, and really didn't know what to say.Instead, the old lady sitting at the end of the kang suddenly raised her eyes and looked at them: "Are you here to see a doctor, or to see a joke?"

Sixth Young Mistress was startled, she turned her head abruptly, but almost fell off the kang.She managed to stabilize her body, but there were tears in her eyes: "Where is the doctor? I beg you to help us find a doctor."

"This, this..." The Fifth Young Mistress's face was distorted, God knows that since the Dongyuan caught fire a few days ago, she was busy taking care of her daughter, and didn't care about the long room at all.At the same time, she also knew that the third wife and the third young mistress probably wouldn't come to visit.One is that he has never had a good impression of the long room, and the other is that he feels that there is no need to make a single move many times.

They originally thought that even if the Dongyuan on the Changfang side was burned down, they would be resettled well.As for doctors and tonics and the like, there will be no shortage.But she never expected that Luo Yunrui's whim would allow her to see such a scene.

"Rui'er, stay with them, I'll go back and tell my mother-in-law." Fifth Young Mistress didn't know what to say, she wanted to lose her temper instinctively, but found that there was no one who could make her vent her anger.That's all, these things are definitely not up to the servants to decide, and it is probably the eighth young master's good deeds!
Seeing that the Fifth Young Mistress was about to leave, Luo Yunrui stopped her: "I'm afraid it's useless to tell the third wife about it." It can be obtained for a while, but it cannot be hidden forever.Since the Eighth Young Master dared to do this, it means that he is not afraid of being known, at least he is not afraid of the woman in the back house.

"Then what should I do?" Originally, it was just a momentary impulse. After the fifth young lady was stopped, she thought about it carefully, as if it was really the case, and she was a little discouraged at the moment: "Should we let them continue to be so arrogant? No matter what , they are all just concubines, if there is a concubine, it depends on the face of the concubine."

"But, telling the third wife won't help anything." Luo Yunrui glanced at the raised quilt next to the sixth young lady, and the person lying there should be the elder brother of the sixth young lady. He really is a poor child.

"Then I don't care. They bullied the long house today, and they will drive us all to death tomorrow? I am just a beloved daughter. If one day they want to sell my daughter, I will sit idly by." ? Humph, they just bully the boys who don’t even have grown-ups in our room!”

This is no longer just a case of the eldest room being bullied. Although the fifth young lady is only two years older than Luo Yunrui, she is not the kind of person who only cares about immediate interests.She still understands the simple truth of the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox.

Luo Yunrui patted Fifth Young Mistress's hand reassuringly. At this moment, Luo Yunrui had made up her mind. Since she wanted to divide the interior of the other branch, she might as well start by buying people's hearts.

"Fifth young lady, I think so. Since some people think that there are no grown-up men in your room, that's why you want to do this. Why don't you unite?" Luo Yunrui's tone rose slightly, with A hint of provocation: "As for the matter of standing up for the sixth young mistress, you don't need to go there in person. Today I came here with Shaotian. He is talking to the clan elders now. When I go back, either Help me to ask, if my family is short of money, if it is a relative, we should also help."

The fifth young lady's heart moved, and she thought about the matter quickly, and soon she found that Luo Yunrui's doing so would be of great benefit to her, but she didn't have to pay any price, so she nodded happily: "If Rui'er is willing to help, then naturally It's excellent."

"Rui'er, I have to thank you, old lady." Sixth Young Mistress still looked at them in a daze, but the old lady came back to her senses.She said that before when she was angry. After all, there are not many people here who come to visit her these days.It's just that this visit turned into a joke, which made her angry for no reason: "You don't mind what I said just now, those bastards have come to torment us these two days."

Naturally, Luo Yunrui wouldn't mind, as long as she could split the other branch's interior and make them fight each other, it would be nothing if they were just a little angry.As for the Fifth Young Mistress, even if she had some concerns in her heart, she would not say it directly. She cared more about her and her daughter's future.
