There was such a loud movement at the door, so Li Renyu naturally knew it immediately. He felt that this niece was a little rude and disrespectful, so he had to ask the servants around him to ask Li Qin to receive Lianyi.

Ripple's carriage drove into the courtyard and stopped. Ripple ordered Manager Li and Mrs. Li beside the carriage:

"You two go and ask the mistress of the house which courtyard you will allocate for me to stay temporarily. I will go wash up first and then go visit my uncle and aunt. This will not be disrespectful."

The two looked at each other quickly and immediately went to see Li Qin. They had a lot to say.

Li Qin experienced the disappearance of her son, whose life and death are still unknown, and she has long resented Lianyi. She felt that if the old guy Wu Youcai hadn't died, his son would not have gone to Jiangnan, and he would not have disappeared if he had not gone to Jiangnan.

She had no choice but to settle the score with Wu Youcai, but the father's debt was paid by the son, and the Wu family's daughter was the target of her revenge. The family property she inherited originally belonged to the son.

If Lianyi knew the other party's thoughts, he would only feel disgusted. This ability to rake someone down is top-notch. It is their Li family who wants to occupy the orphan girl's property! He actually had the nerve to say such things.

After listening to the report from Manager Li and Mrs. Li, Li Qin's slightly haggard face turned ferocious for a moment, and she dropped the teacup in her hand, frightening everyone to the point of not even raising their heads.

"Madam, don't be angry, think about the young master and the master's instructions."

The eldest maid Chaoyun could only remind her bravely.

Li Qin calmed down, opened her eyes, and said to Chaoyun

"I understand! When arranging for Miss Biao to go to Liuyun Courtyard, she said that they have a long journey and are not in a hurry to see her today. They will settle down in their place first and I will take a rest tomorrow and then come over to see you."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Li Qin waved her hand and asked Chaoyun to go do the work, leaving Manager Li and Mrs. Li behind to ask about what happened along the way. She knew very little about this cousin of the Li family.

Chaoyun took Lianyi and his entourage to Liuyun Courtyard, but she never saw the cousin's true face, so she had no intention of getting off the carriage.

Looking at the slightly dilapidated yard, the soft ripples of voice reached Chaoyun's ears:

"It seems that life at my uncle's house is indeed not as good as it used to be. There is no one to maintain the yard. Since you have invited me to be a guest, why don't you tidy up the yard in advance? Is this to welcome me? Or is it to show off to me?"

Chaoyun's expression changed. She knew this was Li Qin's intention. Just as she was about to explain, she heard the other party continue:

"That's all, I can't ask any of your servants.

Aunt Wen, let’s stay at an inn. Let Minmin go and book an inn!

I will visit my two uncles again tomorrow. "

"Yes, miss!"

Aunt Wen glanced at Chaoyun, the disdain in her eyes was not concealed at all, she still wanted to embarrass her young lady with her modesty.

When Chu Liangchen saw the yard, he was unhappy. Is this a place where people live?

Now, after listening to the lady's instructions, he pulled the horse's head, turned the carriage, and headed straight for the gate. At this time, the gate was not closed, mainly because the door bolt was kicked off.

As soon as Chaoyun saw that something was wrong, he ran away and immediately reported to Li Qinshi.

At this time, the people picking up money in front of the door had not yet dispersed. They saw the carriage that had just entered the door come out again less than a quarter of an hour ago. They all looked around curiously. Minmin had an angry look on his face. The money was neither big nor small, but everyone around him was An audible voice complained:

"What does the Li family mean? You have invited the lady to come as a guest, but why haven't you even set up a decent yard? If you don't have money to maintain the yard, the lady will arrange for someone to buy a yard to live in in advance. Why should you suffer from such idleness? !”

"Okay, let's just spend one night today and see my uncle tomorrow. You can go and book an inn."

Wen Lu said neither salty nor bland.

"yes!"

Minmin turned around and ran away. Some of the onlookers were kind enough to point out the direction, saving the little girl a detour and finally getting a reward from others.

Chu Liangchen watched all directions and listened in all directions. He immediately took the lead in driving the carriage and followed Minmin in the direction he left.

By the time Li Qin heard Chao Yun's report, Lianyi and his party had already left the Li Mansion. Li Qin was so angry that she fell back and her eyes turned black.

"This damn girl shows no mercy at all!"

However, Chao Yun lowered his eyes and said nothing. No person with any sense of integrity would accept living in a yard overgrown with grass. Besides, he was very wealthy and rented an inn directly. Maybe he would buy a yard the next day.

Chaoyun didn't expect that her momentary slander would actually become true the next day.

Li Renyu was the last to know the whole story. He angrily went to Li Qin's yard, slapped him in the face as soon as he entered, and said angrily:

"Do you still think that there are too few people who are watching the joke? You are hosting the central feed. Don't you still know the situation in the mansion? Now that you have finally coaxed people to come, it would be better for you to push them out again and let the people around you People say we can’t even clean up the yard where a cousin lives.”

Li Qin covered her face from being slapped, her momentum had weakened by half. Now the house was demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall to make ends meet. The cost of food and clothing could no longer be reduced. Where would the money come from those abandoned gardens? Trim?

They finally waited until Wu Lianyi's three-year observance of filial piety was over and invited him over. How could they let him leave before they had even scraped any money from him?

"I'll ask the boy next to me to deliver the post. You remember to talk well tomorrow and find a good reason to appease the other person so as not to ruin things again."

Li Renyu waved his sleeves and left the main courtyard directly, going to his concubine's house.

Li Qin was so angry that she smashed another cup. Finally, the arrival of her youngest son made her stop losing her temper.

Holding her youngest son in her arms, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes. She must seize the Wu family's property. Her husband was unreliable, and she only had her youngest son.

Lianyi didn't care about the Li family's fight, so she took a flower petal bath and went to bed early.

After breakfast the next day, Wu Meng and Wen Lu came to see her.

"Miss, yesterday the two of us inquired about the housing prices in the capital, and through a broker we found a two-story house. The buyer asked for 5,000 taels of silver, and all the furniture inside was left. The property can be transferred at any time, but the price cannot be lowered."

"What do you think?"

Ripple asked nonchalantly.

"Miss, the layout of the yard is good, the flowers, plants and trees are well taken care of. There is a two-story boudoir on stilts in the second yard. The lady will like it. The furniture in the room is 80% new. If the landlord hadn't been in such a hurry, If you sell it, the price will be higher.”

"Okay, you can inquire secretly to see if there are any hidden problems in this house. If not, buy it!"

Then she asked Luo Ying to follow Wu Meng to do errands. After she got dressed, she took Minmin, Luo Huai and Wen Lu and took the car to Li Mansion again.

This time the concierge saw Chu Liangchen driving from a distance, opened the door and respectfully welcomed the person in.

The carriage didn't stop until it reached the entrance of the second courtyard. Luo Huai helped Lianyi get out of the car and slowly entered the main hall of the Li family.

At this time, many people had gathered in the hall, all waiting to see this legendary cousin.
