Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1674 - 854: After the Fear (Part 2)

"My dad was there, and still offended someone." Lian Yeye said angrily again, "Yaya’s dad complained about my dad in front of those people. Said my dad didn’t speak up for him, didn’t take his nephew seriously or something. Who did my dad provoke?"

"Did he say that in front of others?" Lady Wu Wang thought for a moment and said, "Then maybe he wasn’t blaming your dad, but talking for the visitors to hear."

"But he must have developed a grudge against my dad too. They can’t provoke others, so in the end, my dad takes the blame." Lian Yeye said.

Both Lady Wu Wang and Lady Zhang said it wouldn’t happen, although they knew in their hearts that Lian Yeye wasn’t wrong.

Lian Yeye thought the same as they did. The reason she agreed with Lian Shouxin to avoid today’s matter was that she thought of this too. And Lian Shouxin’s voluntary avoidance was not without this consideration.

Lian Shouxin was not only disgusted with Lian Shouyi, the hostility between Si Lang and Lian Lanlan, and the ruining of young people’s reputations. After yesterday, he should have guessed the final outcome.

If Lian Shouxin was present, Old Master Lian would inevitably use Lian Shouxin to suppress Lian Shouyi and Si Lang.

Now that Lian Shouxin isn’t there, Old Master Lian can still suppress Lian Shouyi and Si Lang, actually borrowing Lian Shouxin’s influence.

"Your dad wouldn’t say anything, once the visitors reconcile, he should come back." Lady Zhao said slowly.

"It was my grandpa who told him to stay there." Lian Yeye said, "My grandma still planned to have my mom go over to help with the cooking, as if my dad dining with them was a loss for them, and they had to have my mom over to make up for it a bit."

Saying this, Lian Manman had already had the table set and the dishes served. Everyone then washed their hands and sat around the table to have lunch.

Over at the Old Residence, after lunch, Lian Lanlan and her husband took a carriage back to the county town, and the two visitors left as well.

Though the matter was resolved, Old Master Lian sat on the heated bed, still troubled.

Si Lang had not yet returned. Before the meal, Old Master Lian had successively sent Liulang, Lian Jizu, and Lian Shouli to find Si Lang, but to no avail. Old Master Lian then asked Lian Shouyi and Lady He to search. Yet, the couple just sat there, unmoved, saying that since so many people had already searched and not found him, they wouldn’t find him either.

Lian Shouyi even said that it would be better if Si Lang was gone and never returned, so the family would have one less mouth to feed, wouldn’t have to spend money for his wedding, and could take revenge for Lian Lanlan and Yin Suo.

"In my mom’s words, it would be best if he died elsewhere, removing a source of worry. We should be setting off firecrackers and celebrating, haha." Lian Shouyi said with a grin.

The words tasted wrong. Old Master Lian had to say a few words to Lian Shouyi, but his tone was extremely gentle. Lady Zhou naturally wouldn’t stay silent, but unusually didn’t blow up and just made a few remarks before letting it go.

Since there were still visitors, and Lian Lanlan and her husband had to return home in the afternoon, they decided to stop delaying mealtime for Si Lang any further.

However, Old Master Lian still specifically instructed Lady Chiang to save a good meal for Si Lang. Normally, Old Master Lian wouldn’t bother with such matters.

Now, everyone had dispersed, and as it grew darker, Si Lang had still not returned. Not only was Old Master Lian worried, but even Lady Zhou couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

"This kid is quite temperamental, hope he doesn’t do anything foolish..." Old Master Lian said to Lian Shouren, Lian Shouli, and Lian Jizu. Lian Shouyi and Lady He, after finishing their meal, had returned to the east wing room.

"Probably not." Lian Shouren said.

Lian Shouli and Lian Jizu also echoed him.

"Then why couldn’t any of you find him after searching everywhere?" Old Master Lian said anxiously.

"He’s probably hiding somewhere. He’s a big boy now; he’ll come back after dark." Lian Shouren said again.

Lian Shouren, Lian Shouli, and Lian Jizu all comforted Old Master Lian, saying that Si Lang wouldn’t have an accident, yet Old Master Lian didn’t feel better in the slightest.

"... Where did he go?... The kid is gloomy and a bit ruthless, hopefully, he doesn’t intercept Lanlan and her husband on the road..." Lady Zhou, using a large handkerchief to wipe her mouth, said worriedly.

Old Master Lian was worried Si Lang might harm himself, while Lady Zhou feared Si Lang would harm Lian Lanlan.

No matter what, Old Master Lian still had some thoughts and concerns for Si Lang, but to Lady Zhou... Si Lang truly held no place in her heart. Of course, Si Lang wasn’t alone in this; his brothers, including siblings and cousins, were all equally valueless in Lady Zhou’s heart. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"No way!" Lian Shouren was startled by Lady Zhou’s statement.

"It’s so late already, he should have returned wherever he went. He’s not out robbing, right? Did he go to the city? At Lanlan’s, only Jin Suo and Yin Suo are home; did he go after Yin Suo? With his uncle, there’s nothing he can’t do; killing and arson included..."

Lady Zhou grew more worried as she spoke, increasingly fearful.

"No way." Lian Shouren said.

"What nonsense are you spouting, isn’t it chaotic enough!" Old Master Lian glared at Lady Zhou and said.

"I’m not spouting nonsense; if something really happens, you’ll regret it." Lady Zhou twisted the large handkerchief in her hands and looked at Lian Shouli, sitting on a stool, "Old Three, you follow the road to the city, see if anything’s wrong... if you catch up with your big sister and her husband, follow them into town, make sure they’re home, and see if Si Lang is with them; if not, come back."

"Also tell your big sister to be extra careful at all times!"
