The Du family's mansion is also a high-rise building, just like other big families.

Du Meilan, who had been locked up in the boudoir for several days, was finally led to her own meeting hall.

The relationship between the Du family is much more complicated than that of the Masha family.

The Ma family was an ordinary family before Ma Zili became a marquis, and Mrs. Ma was a teacher - in this magical world, Mr. Teaching is relatively abundant, especially the older Mr. Teacher.

However, the abundance of Wood alone did not allow the Ma family to form its current size.

The Ma family was established from Ma to become a local wealthy family.

Therefore, the relationship between the Ma family is relatively simple, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma have the right to speak, and the final decision is still made by Ma Zili.

If Ma Zili is filial, he will take the words of his parents seriously, and if he is not filial, he will not listen to the second elder, and no one can do anything to him.

The Du family is different.

The Du family is already a famous family for five generations, and the whole family is intertwined, and when they eat a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner during the New Year, they must be arranged by special people, and if they don't pay attention to it, something will go wrong, causing all kinds of relatives who say that they can't clean up and mess up.

In order to let the bigwigs in the clan have a place to discuss things and distribute benefits, the Du family still has a meeting hall, and the Ma family, as a "nouveau riche", does not have this thing, and generally uses the living room on the floor where Ma lives as a meeting room.

This is impossible in the Du family.

In the living room of any house, other families will have opinions, and they can only do this thing on a separate floor. Surrounded by a place to pass the time for juniors who could not participate in the deliberations, as well as a huge tea and snack room, this entire floor became the core power seat of the family.

Now Du Meilan walked into the council hall, first looked at her father Du Risheng, and then looked at the four old men sitting in front of the north wall of the council hall.

Four Taishi chairs and three tables for eight immortals.

In the entire conference hall, only these four old men could sit on the luxurious Taishi chair with armrests, and the rest of the people, even Du Risheng, the "uncle" who actually controlled the most industries in the clan, could only sit on a chair without armrests.

Du Meilan bowed to the four old men: "Hello, grandfathers." ”

"How are you doing these days?" The old man sitting on the left side of the Eight Immortals table in the middle asked.

"I'm doing well. Excuse me, is Laifu back? ”

Du Risheng immediately scolded his daughter: "Presumptuous, Grandpa asks you before you can speak." ”

"Don't be so serious." The old man sitting on the outermost side waved his hand, "Laifu didn't come back, we called you here because the family made a new decision." ”

The old man glanced at Du Risheng, and it seemed that he had given the task of explaining the situation to his daughter to this father.

"The situation of Ma Houye's family has changed, and now we think that marrying them may be detrimental to the family." Du Risheng said without the slightest hesitation, "So ......"

"Are you going to break the marriage?" Du Meilan grabbed the white road.

"No, that looks too deliberate, and it's not good for reputation. Anyway, after this turmoil, the Ma family will not exist nine times out of ten, and it doesn't matter if the marriage contract is dissolved or not. However, you can't have more contact with the Ma family from now on. ”

"If you don't dissolve the marriage contract, but let me ignore the Ma family at this time?" Du Meilan asked again.

"Yes, that's the way it is." Du Risheng nodded, "However, I am well aware of my daughter's temper, so from today onwards, you can't leave the house for half a step, and you can't use any communication spells." ”

Du Meilan pursed her lips and glared at her father.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Du Risheng changed his tone to a much more soothing tone: "I have already taught you, in a family like ours, marriage is just a tool for the exchange of interests, in this situation, if you want to be happy, you must control yourself and not invest in your feelings in marriage." ”

"You've shown her too many romance comics!" The old man on the far right of the three Eight Immortal Tables said, "That kind of garbage made by the tributary state is not beneficial to the education of children!" ”

Du Meilan: "I see, excuse me, how long will my house arrest end?" ”

"It depends on when the Ma family perishes, and it won't be a long time to wait." Du Risheng said, then turned to the old people, "Is this okay?" ”

The old man on the right side of the Eight Immortals table in the middle nodded slightly.

So Du Risheng waved his hand to his daughter.

Du Meilan turned and walked towards the door of the council hall, where the two maids were already waiting.

This is not Du Meilan's usual personal maid, but a "temporary worker" drawn from other branch families, and the family has also done enough to prevent Du Meilan from secretly contacting Marsha.

Out of the conference hall, Du Meilan glanced at her personal maid "Emerald", who was stopped by two family members on the other side of the aisle, and did not say anything more.

In fact, she had expected such an unfolding, and she had already paid the mouth trust to Marsha to the maid Xiaolu early.

Surrounded by the maids she didn't know, Du Meilan walked towards her boudoir.

For some reason, her stomach was tumbling and her chest was uncomfortably tight.

- but he saved him once.

- I ...... too It's so immature.

The seventeen-year-old girl walked quietly savoring the mixture of entanglement and worry in her heart, with a little sweet and sour feelings.

**

On Marsha's side, she is studying the list of family treasures stolen by the little girl.

"This T-shirt with the permanent ironclad looks good." He muttered softly, "But what kind of spell is Iron Armor?" ”

Ma Xiaomei: "I don't know, it should be a more advanced defense magic against physical effects." ”

Marsha wanted this thing very much, and now he wanted anything that would increase his survival rate.

However, I should still prioritize finding something that will increase my freedom of movement, such as an invincible item like the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter that can directly allow Harry to move around the school without hindrance.

Of course, it's a good map that shows the professors' locations.

Marsha looked at the booklet that the little girl had stolen as if he were looking through the GUNPLA catalogue on Earth.

The little girl said beside her: "That T-shirt is not like a powerful baby, it is placed in the warehouse managed by the bookkeeper, and it can be taken out as long as there is an order from the housekeeper, and there is no need for my father's instructions." ”

- Is that so?

"How about you just tell me which part of this booklet started as a powerful treasure?" He looked at the little girl.

The little girl spread her hands: "Didn't I say, the best treasure in our family is your father's imperial sword." Our family has only been rich for a generation, no, my dad and your dad were not rich when they were young, so they should be regarded as half a generation of wealth, even if they began to collect all kinds of treasures from the feudal marquis, it has only been more than ten years now, where are there so many treasures. ”

Masha pouted.

He had to admit that the little girl had a point.

However, it is better to have treasures than nothing.

Masha closed the small notebook and decided to steal the T-shirt with iron armor that he had just taken a fancy to string first.

- No, maybe you don't need to steal it, just now the little girl said that this is a treasure managed by the bookkeeper, and the housekeeper can lend it if he agrees.

- Maybe I'll just go to the housekeeper and say I'm going to borrow it for a week, and that's it.

Marsha decides to go to the housekeeper.

But just then, he received a request for psychic communication.

The other party introduced himself as "Du Meilan's personal maid emerald".
