Everyone thinks I'm a wealthy doctor's son-in-law

Early the next morning, everyone who had breakfast followed the plan, and a group of people wandered around the west courtyard.

After this period of contact, Lu Ming became a celebrity in the West Courtyard. Many people admired him and greeted him politely.

Knowing that Lu Ming wanted to visit the West Courtyard, these people put down their work and followed them to tell the history of the Shangguan family.

More and more people gathered from this, and a long line followed behind Lu Ming and others.

Half an hour later, Lu Ming gave Xiao Linglong a hint, and she pointed to the side knowingly, and said, "Go over there for a walk!"

Soon, everyone came to a bridge.

The bridge spans both sides of the river and is the only way to connect to the East Court.

"Why is there a bridge here! Everyone, go over there." Xiao Linglong suggested.

Hearing this, everyone in the Shangguan family took a step back in unison. This bridge is the level boundary they cannot cross. The east courtyard is beyond the bridge, and only the direct descendants of the Shangguan family can live there!

Those concubines, and their descendants, are not qualified to pass.

This traditional concept and extremely strict system have long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone.

At this time, Shangguan Yanran stepped forward and said: "This bridge, this river! It divides the east courtyard and the west courtyard of the Shangguan family, and also divides the ranks of Shangguan family members! People in the west courtyard are not qualified. East courtyard!"

The spearhead was raised at this moment, and Lu Ming said with great interest: "They are all human, and they are all from the Shangguan family. Why are there such clear boundaries?"

At this moment, on the street of the East Courtyard, a man rushed over in a hurry.

Shangguan Xianyun!

Ever since Lu Ming took everyone wandering around the West Courtyard, someone had spread the news to Shangguan Xianyun's ears. When he came to the West Courtyard and saw people daring to take the blame, Shangguan Xianyun knew that something was wrong, so he sent someone to secretly watch with.

The people who followed Lu Ming and Shangguan Mu last night were also sent by Shangguan Xianyun under the order of the old man.

"Mr. Lu!"

Shangguan Xianyun walked over quickly, and after stepping on the bridge, he quietly glanced at the people in the west courtyard behind Lu Ming, and immediately said with a smile on his face, "Why do you have the leisure to come here?"

"Can't you!" Lu Ming smiled faintly, pointed to the opposite side of the bridge, and asked, "Can't they go over?"

Shangguan Xianyun nodded with a smile, and said: "The so-called state-owned state law, family has family rules! There is no rule without rules, and the rules were set by the ancestors. The concubine and the direct line need to share food! Live separately, eat separately, It's normal for families to have distinctions of superiority and inferiority, Mr. Lu should hurry back, something happened today..."

Before Shangguan Xianyun could say anything, Shangguan Yanran snorted coldly: "Do you have one more nose than us, or one more eye?"

Upon hearing the words, Shangguan Xianyun immediately glared at her.

Don't dare to challenge Lu Ming, maybe he can still be ridden on the head by a junior from Shangguan's family.

Shangguan Xianyun had a gloomy face, and scolded: "Presumptuous, you don't have the right to speak here! If it weren't for the presence of distinguished guests in the family, blood should not be seen in the family! Just the fact that you betrayed the family is enough to put you to death Already!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming and Xiao Linglong looked at each other, the conflict intensified, and the next thing was to look at Shangguan Yanran's performance.

She had no expression on her face, and asked: "What is betrayal of the clan? You can give me a reason! If you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to do it. Just rely on your empty teeth, don't you treat the people of our West Court as human beings? Say you will be executed!" just die?"

"Bold! How dare you talk back to me."

Shangguan Xianyun was so furious that he was about to hit him, but Shangguan Yanran kept her waist straight and stared at him.

The raised slap did not come down in the end, Shangguan Xianyun glanced at Lu Ming, and then withdrew his hand.

"If it's not for Mr. Lu's sake, I can't spare you today!"

Lu Ming hurriedly shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me! And I also really want to know, why did she betray the clan?"

Shangguan Yanran turned to look at the people in the west courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I, Shangguan Yanran, have been at Shangguan's house for these years, gathering less and leaving more! I am in charge of guarding Shangguan City and Shangguan Jinxiu's tomb. Everyone knows about this, right?"

A group of people nodded upon hearing the words, there were as many as six to seventy people, most of them were in their 70s, and only a few young people were involved.

Now that they are old and decrepit, they have gradually lost the value of being used. The Shangguan family gradually neglected them. Only their heirs are still working hard for the Shangguan family, and how much those heirs pay directly determines their status in the Shangguan family. treatment.

All of this has long been the anger of heaven and people, but they dare not speak out.

Shangguan Yanran said again: "I, Shangguan Yanran, firstly did not betray the interests of the family! Second, I did not hurt the lives of the family members, so why did I betray the family? Some people, on the other hand, treat us as human beings at all. Just hit! And if you want to kill, kill!"

Everyone started to get a little angry, and some people even whispered to each other.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Shangguan Xianyun scolded: "Shangguan Yanran, do you know what you are talking about! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be expelled from the family completely, and your parents' graves will also be exhumed and punished!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yanran's face darkened suddenly, and she shouted: "What qualifications do you have? My parents died for Shangguan's family! After death, the bones can't be put into the ancestral grave, but only in the partial grave on the west hill! People, those didn't die for the Shangguan family! But look up, the ancestral grave of the Shangguan family is over there! And we still have them, why are they separated there!"

The ancestral graves of the Shangguan family's direct descendants are on the hill behind the East Courtyard, while those of the West Courtyard people are on the wild hillside to the west.

"This is the family's rule? Apart from giving us the shackles of this surname, what else did the Shangguan family give us? We can't even return to our roots after spending our whole life. Why should we work hard for you!"

Shangguan Yanran's words immediately resonated with everyone.

Except for the surname of Shangguan, they have never been respected and recognized by the Shangguan family.

"You're looking for death!" Shangguan Xianyun clenched his fists and squeaked loudly, "You dare to question the rules set by our ancestors!"

"The old ancestor is dead, why don't you die!" Shangguan Yanran replied.

Everyone's emotions were quite complicated, some were relieved by Shangguan Yanran's words, some were moved by her words, and now they were more afraid that she would offend the fourth master and cause death.

Shangguan Xianyun couldn't bear it any longer. He had lived for dozens of years since he was a child, and no one from the West Court had ever dared to talk to him like that.

Raising one hand with the sound of howling wind, he slapped Shangguan Yanran's face and shouted: "Kill you, you disobedient thing!"

Snapped!
But before his hand dropped, Shangguan Yanran grabbed his wrist.

Shangguan Yanran scolded: "I've had enough of this pedantic thinking and pedantic rules! Why should we work so hard and be treated like this by your so-called direct descendants!"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yanran shook off Shangguan Xianyun's hand, and then slapped it.

Snapped!
This slap was thrown on Shangguan Xianyun's face, but at the same time it resounded in the hearts of everyone in the West Courtyard.
