Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1188 - 606: Hidden Truths
First update, asking for pink fans.
*****
Upon hearing the news, the whole family fell silent.
When Lady Zhang and Xiao Qi accompanied Lian Manman back, since Lian Manman said she was unwell, naturally, they didn’t go to the old house. Later, Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang also returned home directly from the scene by the well. The secrets Yingzi revealed from the past shocked them greatly, and they just wanted to arrange things properly and return home as quickly as possible to gather with the family.
Although they didn’t go to the old house, Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang instructed those present from the old house not to tell Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou everything. This was mainly because Old Master Lian had recently had a stroke, and they were afraid he might be further agitated.
But in that short while, Old Master Lian regained the ability to speak and had Erlang call Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang to the old house.
Even someone as honest and filial as Lian Shouxin couldn’t help but feel suspicious in his heart.
The timing of Old Master Lian suddenly being able to speak again was just too coincidental. Yesterday, the whole family was there, pampering and pleasing Old Master Lian, and even Wu Lang wanted to invite doctors from town or even Imperial Doctor Wang, yet none could make Old Master Lian speak. In just one night, he suddenly recovered without medicine.
The one who came in to deliver the message was Xiao Xi. Seeing everyone in the room not speaking, she didn’t know what to do, so she just stood there waiting.
Lian Shouxin forced a couple of laughs and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but eventually closed it again.
"...Go and tell them we know and we’ll be over shortly." Wu Lang was the one to speak.
After sending Xiao Xi out to relay the message, the family exchanged looks.
"Ah, they must have gone back and told everything to the old master and old lady," Lian Shouxin sighed.
"Perhaps it’s for the best," Wu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Originally, I was afraid my grandfather would get worse if he knew. Now, not only hasn’t he worsened, but he’s gotten better and can speak. This is a good thing."
Why would Old Master Lian’s condition worsen now? He has to hold on, even if forced to. If his condition worsened, he naturally wouldn’t be able to speak. Lian Shouxin’s side would certainly not neglect inviting doctors and giving medicine. However, for whatever is happening now, Old Master Lian would be even less able to manage, leaving it to Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang.
How would Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang handle it?
Lady Gu’s body and Yingzi remained at the scene with people watching, so no one could touch them. Lian Duo was tied up and brought back to Lian Manman’s home. Clearly, Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang intended to pursue the matter seriously.
Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi returned to the old house, undoubtedly informing Old Master Lian about Lian Huahua and Lian Duo intentionally pushing Lian Manman toward the well and the reaction of Lian Manman’s family. They should be worried that Lian Manman’s family not only won’t let Lian Duo off this time but also intends to settle both new and old scores with them in a fit of rage.
Without making Old Master Lian speak, it won’t work!
"I’m not saying...Not all ten fingers are of the same length, and parental favoritism can’t be avoided. But to be this biased...This is too much...How they treat me, I don’t care as I’m an outsider. But to you..." Lady Zhang gave Lian Shouxin a glance and sighed, "The children are so devoted to their grandfather."
Lian Shouxin forced another smile. Although he didn’t say anything, he felt rather uncomfortable in his heart.
"Waiting a while to go is fine," Lian Manman, observing her family’s expressions, said, "No one from the yamen has come yet, so perhaps it’s better for my father and brother to wait until there’s a conclusion before going over, lest there’s no resolution and we keep my grandfather in suspense."
"That’s right," Lian Shouxin agreed.
The others naturally had no objections.
Lian Manman sighed quietly. Thinking back to how Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang treated Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou before, and now...
No matter the affection, it can’t withstand such erosion.
In the quiet room, a growling sound suddenly arose. Lian Manman looked in the direction of the sound and saw it came from Xiao Qi’s stomach.
"Hungry, I didn’t eat breakfast," Xiao Qi said a bit embarrassed, touching his stomach and laughing sheepishly.
With Xiao Qi’s mention, everyone remembered and started feeling a bit hungry.
"Of course, what time is it already? We actually forgot about eating. Everyone must be hungry," Lady Zhang said.
Everyone nodded; the unexpected events had made them forget about eating.
"At this time, let’s not divide breakfast and lunch, let’s eat together," Lady Zhang said, calling over Han Zhong’s Wife and asking her to quickly prepare the meal, specifically instructing her to make two dishes that Lian Manman liked.
