CHAPTER 1310: CHAPTER 669: HUMAN SENTIMENTS

The second watch, pink double, ask for pink

*****

To be fair, both the Luo Family and Luo Xiaoyan’s conditions are not very good, even ordinary families might not favor such a marriage. Let alone Lian Shouyi and Lady He. This couple is not simple, honest folks. Although they agreed to the marriage, they will surely show no kindness to the Luo Family and Luo Xiaoyan.

Luo Xiaoyan comes to kowtow, and this couple gives her a hard time, which was predictable.

"Why was her brother crying, and what about her?" Lian Manman asked Lian Yeye.

"She didn’t cry out loud, but I saw her eyes were red, she was holding back, and kept signaling to her brother, as if afraid he would cause a scene." Lian Yeye recalled the scene, "Yaya’s parents didn’t say a single good word, they just scolded her. I can’t even repeat those words."

Lian Manman could guess some of it without Lian Yeye saying. In the Lian Family Old Mansion, Lian Shouyi could be said to have truly inherited Lady Zhou’s talent for scolding. In the old mansion, he rarely showed it, but even an occasional word or two exhibited this tendency. And Lady He, she was never one to hold back her words and always wanted to act like a domineering mother-in-law bullying the daughter-in-law.

But what can you do? In this era, once a daughter marries out, she belongs to her husband’s family. Not only will she not be responsible for her siblings, she won’t even have the responsibility to care for her parents in their old age. Luo Xiaoyan, having something against her, and Old Luo Family unable to support themselves, they had to rely on the married daughter dragging her husband to help support, and even help marry off a daughter-in-law, which left them with no bargaining power.

Lian Shouyi and Lady He would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to mock the Luo Family and Luo Xiaoyan, naturally including Luo Xiaoying.

However, despite everything, they all had to pass through this trial. Otherwise, even if they say Erlang and Luo Xiaoyan were married, it wouldn’t be properly recognized.

"Have they left now?" Lian Manman asked.

"When I left, they hadn’t yet." Lian Yeye replied, "Yaya’s parents hadn’t let Luo Xiaoyan get up, they hadn’t finished scolding, I got tired of watching and came back."

"Were they scolding in the Upper Room, in front of our grandfather?" Lian Manman thought for a moment and asked again.

"No, it was in their own room where they had Luo Xiaoyan kowtow to them." Lian Yeye said.

"Oh." Lian Manman nodded, if it were in front of Old Master Lian, he’d at least say something, wouldn’t let them go too far.

As they were talking, they saw Xiao Qing quickly walking in from outside.

"Miss, that Luo Xiaoyan is coming here." Xiao Qing reported to Lian Manman, "It seems she’s coming to kowtow to the master and madam."

A new bride entering the door and kowtowing to the uncle and aunt is considered a ceremony.

"Go and see if she’s headed to Yeye’s household," Lian Manman instructed, sending Xiao Qing out.

After that, Lian Manman went to Lady Zhang’s room. Lady Zhang had also received the report from outside and knew Luo Xiaoyan had come.

"Your father isn’t home, and we aren’t prepared." Lady Zhang said to Lian Manman. Erlang and Luo Xiaoyan didn’t have a wedding or a banquet, not even a family banquet to arrange. Everyone overlooked the possibility of Luo Xiaoyan coming over to kowtow.

Or maybe, it wasn’t considered a big deal in the first place.

"Whether she comes or not, we won’t say much. If she comes, mother, just meet her. Handle the situation as it comes." Lian Manman said.

With Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang not at home, but since this wasn’t a big deal, with Lian Manman present, Lady Zhang felt reassured.

After a while, Xiao Qing ran in again.

"Miss, I went out to check, she didn’t go to Yeye’s household, she came straight to our house. She’s at the front now, I asked her to wait a moment." Xiao Qing reported to Lian Manman.

Lian Manman thought for a moment, then whispered a few words to Xiao Qing, sending her out to bring Luo Xiaoyan in.

Lian Zhizhi and Lian Yeye heard the news and came over from the west room. Lady Zhang sat properly on the kang, and Lian Zhizhi, Lian Manman, and Lian Yeye sat beside her.

Shortly after, Xiao Xi and Xiao Qing led Erlang and a man and a woman in.

As soon as they entered, Erlang led the woman to kneel in front of Lady Zhang, calling "Fourth Aunt" as he knocked three loud kowtows. Erlang kowtowed very genuinely, and the slightly dark-skinned woman, obviously Luo Xiaoyan, kowtowed just as sincerely.
