Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1424 - 726: An Unexpected Matchmaker

During the second watch, pink powder was sought.

Old Master Lian took Lian Shouren out for several days of activities, yet they did not properly visit to discuss marriage. Old Master Lian’s mouth was so urgent that blisters formed around it, and he couldn’t eat any solid foods every day, only drink thin porridge, because his mouth was full of blisters. Old Master Lian was not confused; he knew the reason for the fruitless days was mainly due to Lian Shouyi and Lady He being disruptive everywhere.

That day, after the family had a silent dinner, Old Master Lian kept Lian Shouyi, Lady He, and Si Lang back.

"Second Brother, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you so happy to watch me and your elder brother’s joke? What good does that do you?" Old Master Lian asked, looking at Lian Shouyi.

"Dad, what are you saying?" Lian Shouyi grinned heartlessly, "Why don’t I understand?"

"Don’t play tricks with me!" Old Master Lian said with a stern face, "You’re sabotaging everywhere, ruining your brother’s reputation, thinking that’ll stop him from getting a wife. It won’t do you any good!"

"Don’t think of those twenty taels of silver; that silver is reserved for your brother to get a wife. If he doesn’t marry, the money can’t be for your spending. I’m saying it clearly now!"

Old Master Lian clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it on the kang in front of him, his eyes staring sternly at Lian Shouyi. It was his way of demonstrating his resolve and his authority as the head of the family.

Old Master Lian made it clear that he favored Lian Shouren, yet this time Lian Shouyi did not jump up. He already knew he couldn’t argue with Old Master Lian, so he was determined. While Old Master Lian made arrangements upfront, he would undermine them from behind.

Achieving something might be difficult, but damaging something is much easier.

Lian Shouyi’s big eyes rolled, and he grinned at Old Master Lian.

Old Master Lian raised his hand and massaged his temples. Lian Shouyi was slick and never did things by the book, cunning and fearless, thus extremely difficult to deal with. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Second Brother," Old Master Lian felt his mind swelling but still endured, easing his tone to speak earnestly to Lian Shouyi, "Why haven’t you figured it out yet? Let me break it down for you, don’t rush. Once your brother gets a wife, I’ll immediately find one for Si Lang. I won’t let you guys suffer."

"You don’t need to worry about the silver; our family has such a large estate, and there’s Old Fourth’s stake too. With my old face, it’s worth those few taels of silver? When the time comes, I’ll find a good match for Si Lang and have the wedding splendidly organized."

"Dad, can Old Fourth agree to lend you money, and will it not need repayment?" Lian Shouyi asked.

Old Master Lian, hearing Lian Shouyi say this, was delighted instead of angry, thinking Lian Shouyi wavered.

"If I borrow from him, will he dare say no?" Old Master Lian confidently said, "If it’s borrowing for your brother’s marriage, he might hesitate, but for Si Lang, his nephew, he won’t hesitate at all. With me here, what are you worried about? No need to worry about repayment either. With me, I’ll ensure it doesn’t burden you."

This statement implied that once borrowed, it wouldn’t need to be repaid?!

"When the time comes for a splendid wedding for Si Lang, the West Wing Room will be for Si Lang and his wife." Old Master Lian said, equivalent to giving Lian Shouyi another benefit.

"Second Brother, it’s just a matter of order. Since both have to marry, your elder brother is older; his wife should enter first. Otherwise, if people hear your brother has no one in his room when Si Lang gets married, it’s not nice."

"This is Dad’s last wish." Old Master Lian sighed, "Let Dad fulfill this wish, and Dad will arrange everything for you properly, so you won’t have to worry about anything in the future."

Old Master Lian’s final sentence held hidden meaning. Lian Shouyi’s eyes rolled, and he understood, grinning.

Old Master Lian, seeing Lian Shouyi like that, thought he had persuaded him, and let out a breath of relief.

"Dad, we’ll talk about future matters later. Right now, let’s first get a wife for Si Lang. Once we marry Si Lang’s wife, then you can do as you please. I’ll listen to you. You didn’t say you want to find a wife for my elder brother; even if you said one or two or three, I wouldn’t stop you." Who knew, after the grin, Lian Shouyi said again.
