Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 551 No Room

More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages blocked the yard.

Rong Jin glanced at Pei Rongyu, whose eyes were a little blue, and turned his eyes away in disdain. It seemed that the lesson he taught him at the post station had been remembered by him.

It was just that on the day of rest, the other party was a little too hard. He took out a bunch of keys from the room, threw them to Pei Rongyu, and asked Qingzao to take them to the house next door.

The next day, when Rong Jin and Hua Lei were on duty, the easternmost house was still quiet. Even the maids and servants hadn't gotten up yet. So Rong Jin and Hua Lei went straight to work.

Originally, he thought that since the yard was given to Pei Rongyu and his wife, he would have nothing to do. Unexpectedly, when he came back from work in the afternoon, Pei Rongyu and his wife were standing in his yard again. However, the second young master Qian and his wife did not come.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Pei Rongyu and Qian stepped forward to greet them first.

"Why are you here? Have you finished your dinner?" Rong Jin glanced at Pei Rongyu and asked. These days, the county government was busy, so even if it was time to go off duty, he might not be able to leave.

When Hua Lei returned to the county government office today, it was already dark. In order for Rong Jin to wait for Hua Lei to come back together, it was already six quarters past the hour of the twilight.

"No...no." Rong Yu stammered.

Rong Jin looked at the sky, frowned, and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you eaten yet? Did you have a late lunch?" Rong Jin thought that it was the first day Rong Yu and the others arrived, and they slept late in the morning, so they had late breakfast and lunch.

"Brother..., sister-in-law, let's eat together later."

"Brother, sister-in-law, which row of rooms do we live in? Let's eat and live together in the future?" Rong Yu and Qian said at the same time.

Rong Jin and Hua Lei frowned at the same time.

Hua Lei glanced at Qian and remained silent. Old Madam Pei had made it clear to her face that she could take all the deeds of the houses and shops and just give Pei Rongyu and his wife a place to live.

I have already reserved a house for them that is exactly the same as mine, so why do they want to come and share it with me?

Although they could definitely stay together, Hualei was not happy about it. Besides, Qian was obviously a fool and she was not the same kind of person as herself. If they lived together, there would be trouble in the future.

Moreover, the house that he gave to Pei Rongyu was one that could only be chosen by an official, and Pei Rongyu was just a clerk without an official position.

If I didn't have this set at the time, Pei Rongyu would not have lived here. Now they want to live with me?

According to Qian's idea, the house on the east side was for her legitimate brother and his wife to live in alone? That was a beautiful thought. He had no relationship with Qian's family, so he was not so kind as to pay the difference in monthly rent and let an unrelated person live there.

Looking at the two of them, Rong Jin asked Rong Yu, "Is that house uninhabitable? I asked Qing Zao to check it out, and there's no problem."

Rong Yu looked at Rong Jin and swallowed involuntarily.

I originally thought that after getting married, I would no longer be under Rong Jin's control and would be free. However, for the past month and a half, I have been living and eating with Qian's second brother and his wife. The discomfort I felt was even more uncomfortable than facing Rong Jin's ugly face.

At the beginning, when the two mansions were using the ingredients from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, the second sister-in-law's face was fine. However, after the carriages of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were empty.

When we started using the ingredients from the Minister's Mansion, the second sister-in-law's face started to look a little ugly. At first, she just had a cold face, but after a few days, she began to make sarcastic remarks.

Later, when it was my turn to work, when I came back late, there were only some leftovers. Qian and I had just gotten married, so I was too embarrassed to say it.

So I didn't eat well and sleep well during this period. Moreover, my brother-in-law was only a seventh-rank official, and he looked down on me every day, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Although Rong Jin would often teach me a lesson, and sometimes even hit me when he was displeased, he never looked at me the same way as his brother-in-law looked at him.

So, I thought that I would eat with Rong Jin Hualei in the future and go back to sleep at night. This way, I would meet my wife's brother-in-law less often, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Qian wanted to live in this house because her second sister-in-law told her in the afternoon that the house was too small and would not accommodate the two families if they lived together.

Besides, Rongyu was a stranger to her and was not suitable for living together, so she let Pei Rongyu and Qian live in Rongjin and Hualei's house.

However, the servants of Qian and Rong Yu could squeeze in with the servants of the Minister's Mansion. So, the brainless Qian came over.

After knowing the purpose of the two people's visit, Hua Lei was really angry and laughed. Rong Jin's face was already dark, and he directly ordered the guards behind him.

"Tie Ying, Tie Hu, take a few people to the house next door and drive the second young master Qian and his wife and all the servants of the minister's residence out of the house. Zi Yun, Zi Yan, you also go and help with the women's belongings."

"Hey, brother, what do you mean?" Qian was confused.

"Brother..." Rong Yu shrank back a little.

Rong Jin pulled Hua Lei into the main room.

"No, brother, then...then my second brother and sister-in-law..." The second half of Qian's words was interrupted by Rong Jin's glance.

"Pei Rongyu, are you a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family? Or are you under a spell? When did you become so cowardly? Don't forget that you are a descendant of the second-rank Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and the eldest son of the third-rank Dingbei General.

What are you doing now? The house was allocated in my name, and I paid the difference. If you can't make decisions about the house I gave you, you can just sleep on the street.

It's just right, patrolling during the day and sleeping at night, which saves you the trouble of going on and off duty." Rong Jin must have been furious, so he picked up an empty bowl and plate on the table and threw it at Pei Rongyu.

Pei Rongyu dodged instinctively, and the dishes broke into pieces on the ground. The bouncing fragments flew to Qian's feet, scaring Qian so much that she trembled all over and her face turned pale.

"Get lost!" Seeing the two people still standing there stupidly with no intention of leaving, Rong Jin shouted again.

The two people who were already frightened took three steps back in shock. Even Hua Lei, who was sitting at the table, was startled.

Pei Rongyu and his wife turned around and went back to their house in the east.

Rong Jin smiled at Hua Lei apologetically, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg for Hua Lei, and the two began to eat.

"Maybe it's because my second brother just got married and he can't bring himself to do it." Looking at Rong Jin who still had an annoyed look on his face, Hua Lei tried to comfort him.
