Lian Fang Qing was so aggrieved that she started to cry.
Angrily, she said: “These people are not good people! They are bad guys! Uncle, you insist that Third Aunt has to go with them, do you want to watch them bully Third Aunt?!”

“Presumptuous!” Lian Li’s expression changed abruptly and he was unable respond.

Frowning, he turned to Lian Che and said: “Qing’er is ignorant but you are someone who has gone to school and read a few books, so you wouldn’t make a fool of yourself like her, right?”

Lian Fang Qing pouted: “I haven’t! I haven’t been to school but I am also studying.
Uncle, you just don’t have a good heart!”

“How dare you talk to me like that!” Lian Li was so angry his veins were almost popping out of his forehead.

It was then that Lian Che said: “Uncle, you are wrong, why don’t we dare to say it? We have already made a clear distinction between our families, why did you come to our house without asking? You should put away your airs as an elder! It looks like we will have to keep two dogs in front of our house.”

Lian Li’s face turned red and white with angry, utterly embarrassed.

His heart was filled with grief and despair: The two sons of the second branch had really changed! There was no dealing with them anymore!

Madam Qiao glared at Lian Che and said: “Even if our families have broken, Lian Xiao Man is still our sister.
Can her eldest brother and sister-in-law not care about her affairs? Lian Xiao Man, let me make it clear to you today! You will follow your two sister-in-laws back to the Tian family immediately!”

 

Finally finding solid ground, Lian Li said half-heartedly: “Yes, we will make it clear!”

The two Tian couples smiled viciously but Lian Che and the others were blocked.

Third Aunt sighed silently.
This was it.
It was absolutely impossible not to go back with them now.
If she didn’t, they would find a way to kill her one way or another.

But she comforted herself in her heart that when Lian Fang Zhou came back, she would save her!

Lian Che’s words had given her a lot of confidence.
She was no longer someone who didn’t have the support of her family and no one could think of pouring dirty water on her for no reason!

“Just go back!” Lian Che said, rolling his eyes.
“Third Aunt has been in a bad state and it has gotten worse recently.
We can’t let her go back with you alone! What if she falls ill and there is no one to take care of her?”

Third Aunt stared at him blankly but Steward Qin had already caught on to Lian Che’s plan and immediately said: “Third young master is correct! The eldest miss told me to go in the city a few days ago but I forgot to get Third Aunt’s medicine.
She often has chest tightness, shortness of breath, headaches, and dizziness.
The doctor said she can only take medicine and can’t do any work, she needs to rest and recuperate!”

Saying this, he winked repeatedly at Third Aunt.

Third Aunt had finally caught on and quickly pretended to touch her forehead, moaning: “Oh, I’m so dizzy! My heart aches, oh, it really hurts!”

Anxious, Lian Fang Qing looked up and pulled on her, as if she was struggling to support Third Aunt’s body.
Concerned, she said: “Third Aunt! Third Aunt! Are you alright? Don’t scare me!”

Madam Song and Madam Ruan also cried out and rushed over anxiously to help.
They spoke to Third Aunt in a series of concerned questions and words of comfort in a very familiar way, which stunned the Tian and Lian couples.

“What, what are you pretending for?” Eldest Madam Tian said furiously, “You were obviously fine just now but now you’re so ill?”

“Third Aunt has lived with us for a long time now, wouldn’t we know better than you?” Lian Che said confidently.

“Really! Why didn’t I know about this?” Madam Qiao snapped.
Seeing everyone’s caring attitude towards Third Aunt, like the starts surrounding the moon, her heart couldn’t help but fill with acidic jealousy!

 

When did she get such a blessing? Why couldn’t such good things happen to her?

Steward Qin glanced at Madam Qiao and said lightly: “This is not your family’s business, you can be forgiven for not knowing.
Which family is ill and goes around talking about it with great fanfare?”

Thinking of Lian Che’s words just now, Lian Li was also choked.

“Since you are going back, hurry up and prepare! Otherwise, it will be too difficult to go if you leave too late.” Lian Che said.
Looking at Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian, who were gnashing their teeth speechlessly, he said: “Aunt Ruan, Aunt Song, I will have to ask you to accompany Third Aunt back.
I’m too embarrassed to let the Tian family take care of Third Aunt alone.”

Madam Ruan and Madam Song would not refused.
Nodding, Madam Ruan said: “Third young master can rest assured.
We will accompany your Third Aunt.”

Lian Fang Qing couldn’t help but giggle when she saw Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian’s faces.
Jumping up, she said: “I’m going too, I’m going too! It’s best if I go, I won’t be assured if I stay here.
I’ll bring Xiao Hui too!”

Third Aunt smiled, “Yes! Go, go, let’s go!”

She proudly glanced at Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian expectantly.

With Madam Song, Madam Ruan, and Lian Fang Qing with her, she was not afraid of the Tian family! Anyways, if that old woman wanted to bully her, she could just pretend to be sick!

As for what to do after pretending to be sick, Lian Fang Zhou would not abandon her!

Second Madam Tian grit her teeth with hatred and said coldly, “Our house is small and cannot accommodate so many people! Our family can’t afford idle people!”

“Don’t worry.” Lian Che looked at Madam Song and Madam Ruan like a little adult and said: “These two aunts, go back and pack up your clothes and bedding.
Bring anything else you need, don’t worry about the trouble.
I’ll call you in a while and have the carriage take you there.
Steward Qin, give them ten taels of silver from the account to take with them.”

Steward Qin agreed and Madam Ruan and Madam Song smiled.

Eldest Madam Tian and the others all heard Lian Che talk about giving ten taels of silver, his tone so casual it was as if he was talking about ten copper coins.
No it was even more casual than that!

The four of them couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes narrowing.

“That being the case, we will go back and pack.
We don’t dare to delay the effort.” Madam Song and Madam Ruan said, leaving with a smile.

Lian Fang Qing jumped up and pulled Third Aunt to the house: “Let’s go back too!”

“Okay! Let’s hurry!” Third Aunt laughed happily.

Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian moved to follow them but when they saw the servants standing behind Steward Qin with cold faces, they cursed the Lian family for being shameless.

 

Lian Che suddenly smiled at Lian Li and Madam Qiao.
“Third Aunt will go home soon and eldest uncle and aunt are her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Do you want to send some gifts for Third Aunt?”

“Thinking beautifully!” Madam Qiao, who wanted to follow but couldn’t get in, immediately widened her eyes and stared at him vigilantly.

This time, even Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian gave her a look of contempt.

Shocked and angry, Madam Qiao glared at Lian Che and shouted: “You!”

TN: Not going to lie, whenever the author says that Madam Qiao stares vigilantly, I get this picture in my head…
