Chapter 3: The Aftermath of the Power Struggle
On the carved bed, Little Luoyu was struggling to grab her own little toes, but her round and plump body was too weak, and she didn't succeed.
Seeing Luo Yu's strenuous little appearance, Lin Mo burst out laughing; "What is the little treasure doing?"
Xiao Luoyu was taken aback: Can I tell my mother that I'm practicing yoga to improve my flexibility? If swords and knives come flying, I can just bend down and dodge them. Without good innate qualities, I can only work harder on my body.
To avoid this topic, Xiaolu Yu asked in her mother's arms: "How are the second and third sisters of the main house now?"
Lin Mo gently patted Luo Yu's back and said slowly: "Your ninth sister is fine, but your fifth sister woke up yesterday and couldn't remember anything. The clan leader's wife was anxious and searched the whole city for a doctor to diagnose her. Since there was no one around when it happened, no one knows what really happened. Ninth sister only said it was an accidental fall into water, but fifth sister can't remember. The clan leader's wife had ninth sister under house arrest in the courtyard, originally planning to make her kneel in the ancestral hall, but was stopped by the third elder, saying they would wait until fifth sister recovered before making a decision."
It is said in the book that Huang Luo Yi was not lenient, saying that when Luo Xue fell into the water, she pulled her in. The inside story is something that anyone with a clear mind can understand, but considering the identity of the tribe's eldest daughter, it was determined that Luo Xue had accidentally pulled Luo Yi down and was punished by having her spiritual stone medicine allowance confiscated for a year.
Thinking of this, Luo Yu simply gave up and didn't care anymore. It turned out that she was still worried about how to deal with the relationship between these two people. She might as well hug the female lead's thigh, but it's not like the female lead would look down on her poor qualifications. Of course, playing the affectionate card is still worth a try, but she's also afraid of being killed off by the female supporting character before she can even get started. If she doesn't make an effort, with her poor qualifications, she won't be able to achieve anything and can only wait for death. As for the female supporting character, it's as far away as your dreams are, you can just roll over and die.
Didn't want to wait for a few more days, news came that this matter was an accidental fall into the water, both parties received warnings, and it ended there.
Luo Yu was taken aback for a moment, and the whole thing had an eerie atmosphere to it.
Huang Luoxue's father and the current patriarch are half-brothers with the same father but different mothers, plus the third elder who is also a descendant of the upper-ranking patriarch. Among the three, Huang Luoxue's father, Huang Daiming, had the best qualifications, with two spiritual roots in gold and water, and his cultivation was at the middle stage of the Golden Elixir; next was the eldest son, Huang Daqiang, who is the current patriarch, with three spiritual roots in fire, wood, and water, and his cultivation was at the early stage of the Golden Elixir; then there was the third son, Huang Dajun, with three spiritual roots in gold, wood, and earth. Apart from these, the previous patriarch had several other children, but their qualifications and cultivation were not good, they were just ordinary direct line descendants and could not enter the family's power institution. If no new talent appeared in the next generation, and their cultivation did not exceed the Golden Elixir, then they would slowly become a side branch and move out of the main house. Of course, if someone from a side branch cultivated to the level of the Golden Elixir, they would be listed as an elder and their direct relatives would be incorporated into the direct line descendants. After understanding this system, Luo Yu nodded secretly, this relatively fair mechanism could allow the family to constantly emerge with new vitality, and not let the increasingly large family devour the limited resources completely. Although there were imperfections, this was just a world where the strong preyed on the weak, so Luo Yu had no dissatisfaction with only being able to allocate less than 1/100 of the resources from the main house each year.
The story goes back to the right track. In those years, Luo Xue's father was the strongest candidate for the position of clan leader, but he brought back a mortal woman during an outing and demanded to marry her as his wife. The old clan leader had already negotiated with the neighboring city of Zhao about the marriage between his second son and Zhao San Niang, who was in the middle of building her foundation, but unexpectedly, his second son slapped him hard. Let's not mention what happened in between, such as love triangles or quadrangles, or loving beauty but not power. In the end, the eldest son married the Zhao family's daughter and became the clan leader; the second son was given a noble title to fight for his beloved wife.
It's said that everything should be joyful, but the old patriarch was furious and banished his second son to a cold palace. The eldest son obtained the position of patriarch, but he also felt suffocated in his heart. It is still unknown who will ultimately take over the position of patriarch. Everyone says it's because you let me down, and even made me marry Zhao's daughter for your sake, how humiliating! Zhao's daughter secretly pinched her fingers, thinking that she had given up everything for this ordinary person, how shameful! In order to please the old man, Luo Xue's father decided to go to a secret place to find an opportunity to exchange for the old man's forgiveness. As a result, less than half a year after their wedding, Huang Daming left Wang Shi and went out. However, just a few days later, Wang Shi discovered that she was pregnant. With joy in her heart, she waited for her husband to return home, but until Luo Xue was born, she had not received any news from her husband. When Luo Xue was one year old, Huang Daming's soul lamp went out.
Not to mention how the lonely and helpless Luo Xue mother and daughter suffered in the big family, only when Luo Xue measured the pure Tianling root with a good quality of 95%, everyone congratulated Luo Xue for surpassing her predecessor, but it made the original Tianzhi Jiao girl Huang Luo Yi jealous to madness.
Originally, on that day, in order to show apology to the Zhao family of Xuanzhou, after the eldest son married a woman from the Zhao family, the old patriarch immediately stepped down and yielded to virtue, and required the second son to wait for 1 year before marrying a woman from the Wang family. The woman from the Zhao family became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter named Huang Luo Yi in the same year of marriage. According to the rules of the Huang family, children are confirmed to have spiritual roots only after they turn 5 years old, and then formally enter the ranking. Huang Luo Yi had dual spiritual roots of water and wood, with water at 80 and wood at 60, which was the best among her peers, and even among the older generations, there were no such good spiritual roots. As a result, she received excessive love and slowly developed some spoiled habits.
The book says that Huang Luo Yi was unwilling to let the halo that originally belonged to him fall on others, especially Huang Luo Xue, whom he had always looked down upon. So he thought about how to make Huang Luo Xue see some strength. Unexpectedly, Huang Luo Xue successfully cultivated her Qi on the first day of school, just like she did 10 days ago, and was already being praised as a once-in-a-century genius. With old grudges accumulated, Huang Luo Yi pushed his annoying ninth sister into the water, but unexpectedly got pulled in by Luo Xue instead. Luo Xue was originally a 95% pure Water Spirit Root, and in the water, she was like a fish in water, easily crawling up to the shore. Unfortunately, Huang Luo Yi had almost drowned, and although he was rescued and only pretended to be unconscious for half an hour, he still rested in bed for several days.
It turned out that Huang Luo Yi was in a coma for a day and night, and even Huang Zi Xun's little friend went to visit her. What's more important is that Huang Luo Yi actually lost her memory? Little Luo Yu suddenly sat up straight, isn't this a sign of being transported through time and space? Ah, no way?! But if it really was the case, then it would explain why this legitimate young lady changed her personality. If 'Huang Luo Yi' arrived in a strange place without understanding the situation, she would probably choose to adopt an attitude of avoiding trouble.
After a few more days, news came from the main house that Huang Luo Yi had slowly regained his memory. Hmm, what's going on here, could it be that he just really bumped his head? Maybe so.
Xiao Luoyu didn't know that regarding Huang Luo Yi's memory loss issue, the elder had discussed and suspected it was a case of soul snatching. If it was indeed soul snatching, there would always be some incoordination between the soul and body, and as long as one's cultivation level was two levels higher, they could inspect it. So the tribe leader personally went to check, but unexpectedly didn't find anything unusual, and Huang Luo Yi also slowly recovered his memories, so the elders also confirmed that it was just a false alarm.
