Chapter 563: Not Allowed to Share Rooms with Shu Yu
Shu Yu understood Hou Shi's concerns, and she also didn't want to live with the Shu family.
When they were at the manor earlier, she had wanted to confirm with Master Lan if she could rent a courtyard with her own money. But seeing the expression on Master Lan's face, Shu Yu dismissed the idea. There was a clear malicious intent in Master Lan's eyes, and if she were to mention having money, she feared that he would find an excuse to take it from her.
That person was not someone she could have a friendly conversation with.
So Shu Yu decided to keep a low profile for now and look for other opportunities in the future. Surely there were other administrators in this place besides Master Lan. If she encountered someone more reasonable, she could try to negotiate renting another place.
Shu Yu told Hou Shi, "Let's just stay here for now. We just arrived today, and we don't know anything about this place yet. Let's not stir up unnecessary trouble."
Hou Shi nodded, "Okay."
However, there were some people who didn't want to see Shu Yu get what she wanted.
While Shu Yu and Hou Shi were talking, the Shu family had already occupied all three rooms.
Fourth Miss stood in front of Shu Yu and Hou Shi, wearing a triumphant expression as if she was finally getting her revenge. She said, "You all denied being part of the Shu family, didn't you? Naturally, this courtyard has nothing to do with you. There is no place for you to stay here. Get out!"
Hou Shi's face changed, "Fourth Miss, this is the accommodation assigned to all of us by Master Lan. He made the rules clear before. If you kick us out without authorization, aren't you afraid we'll complain to Master Lan?"
Fourth Miss furrowed her brows, still a bit fearful since they had just arrived at Zhengdao Village.
After hesitating for a moment, she didn't mention kicking them out again.
"You want to stay here? Fine, but the rooms are not for you. Either you can go live in the outhouse, or squeeze into the storeroom. That way, you might find some place to stay."
"You..." Sixth Miss's face turned red with anger.
Shu Yu looked at Fourth Miss's smug expression and felt a headache coming on. Why did they always cause trouble whenever there was a chance?
She truly wanted to live a peaceful life, but these people just wouldn't let her be.
"What if we don't want to? What if we insist on staying in the rooms?" Shu Yu's voice dropped, and Fourth Miss couldn't help but burst into laughter. She raised her chin arrogantly and looked at Shu Yu, "Then you can try and see if you can have it your way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Shu family members behind Fourth Miss stepped forward in unison. Although they were still worn-out and weak, standing together as a united front gave them a certain aura.
Hou Shi and Sixth Miss pursed their lips. The three of them were outnumbered by almost three times.
Among the exiled female members of the Shu family, there were originally sixteen of them. Five were lost during the journey, and now excluding Shu Yu and the two, there were eight left.
The main wife of the first branch, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, Aunt Xue, and Aunt Li.
The main wife of the second branch, Fourth Miss, and Aunt Liu.
Regardless of their internal conflicts and rivalries in the past, at this moment, everyone had a common
goal: targeting Shu Yu, Hou Shi, and Sixth Miss.
Hou Shi tightly held Sixth Miss's hand, her lips pressed together.
Shu Yu, however, remained calm. She tried moving her right hand a bit and decided it would be better not to use it for a while. After all, her injury was still fresh, and if she didn't control her strength properly, it could easily aggravate the old wound.
