“That’s no good!” Second Madam Tian grumbled, rolling her eyes.
“It’s none of our business whether your sister are here or not! All I know is that my mother-in-law has asked us to bring our third sister-in-law back! Don’t talk if you don’t know what you’re talking about! You have a stupid mouth!”

Since Lian Che had decided to speak, of course he had some back up arguments.
“Although Third Aunt’s surname is Lian, she is also a guest in our home.
When a guest leaves, they have to say goodbye to the host, right? Eldest sister and second brother are in charge of the family and I will not let her say goodbye when they are not here.
It’s just a day or two, what are you so impatient for? Third Aunt has been at our house for so long, what is a few more days? My eldest siblings will explain it to your mother-in-law, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

“That’s right!” Lian Fang Qing exclaimed, holding Third Aunt tightly.
“Anyways, you aren’t allowed to take Third Aunt away! If you dare to mess around, don’t blame Xiao Hui for being rude!”

Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian’s expressions were very ugly.

 

Second Madam Tian glanced at Third Aunt and smiled politely: “I say, Third Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? What does it matter if you leave now or later? If you anger your mother-in-law over this, hmph, its you who will suffer in the end.
It’s up to you!”

Third Aunt’s face went pale and she hesitated.

In this matter, she really wasn’t sure… could Lian Fang Zhou really protect her? If it didn’t work, it would be her that was the most miserable in the Tian family in the future.

Seeing her hesitate, Second Madam Tian sneered proudly: “You better think carefully.
Can you afford to be disobedient to your elders? If you make your mother-in-law mad, will we step in? Ha, we won’t spare you!”

“You!” Third Aunt’s teeth were itching with hatred but she was speechless.

Of course she knew Second Madam Tian’s personality.
She was the best at framing others and pushing the blame around.
Even it wasn’t her fault, they would push the blame to her and no one would speak up for her.

Third Aunt couldn’t help but feel sad in her heart.
Why was her life so bitter!

Lian Che glanced at the arrogant Eldest and Second Madam Tians and said with great conviction: “The Lian family is the maternal family of Third Aunt, we will not watch people bully and frame her.” He turned to Third Aunt.
“Third Aunt, we will never stand idly by! Even if you sue the yamen, you must return your innocence!”

Third Aunt’s eyes lit up and her waist straightened! She looked at Lian Che with red eyes and murmured: “Good boy, good boy…”

Eldest Madam Tian’s heart trembled but she forced herself to calmly spit: “Who are you trying to frighten?” But her previous fangs and claws were nowhere to be found.

Lian Che did not need to open his mouth to argue with her at all.
He glanced at her and said to Steward Qin: “Steward Qin, see off the guests.
It’s not early and they need to hurry home.”

“Yes, Third young master!” Steward Qin bowed slightly and gathered a few people to help drive the four Tian members away.

Of course Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian were unwilling, wouldn’t it be shameful if they were driven away like this?

“What are you doing! What do you want to do?” Eldest Madam Tian shrieked, “Relying on numbers to bully people!”

“Our Tian family is not without people!” Second Madam Tian echoed, “You just try it! Third sister-in-law, you are bullying your own brother-in-law and sister-in-laws! Don’t forget you are also from the Tian family!”

 

While they made a fuss, a figure suddenly appeared at the door and opened his arms to protect Second Madam Tian behind her and shouted: “Hurry up and stop! Our Lian family is going to lose face because of you! We don’t have bullies in our family!”

A male voice also called: “If you have something to say, don’t say it with your hands!”

Steward Qin immediately had a headache: This day was really cursed!

Nowadays, no one dared to come and watch the fun at the Lian house, what happened inside could not be heard from the outside.

So how did the Lian couple know to come over?

Eldest Madam Tian and Second Madam Tian were overjoyed and broke free, coming to stand behind Madam Qiao.

Crying tearfully, Second Madam Tian complained: “Elder brother-in-law, elder sister-in-law, you came at just the right time! Does your family have no rules? We came to pick up Third sister-in-law to go home but they blocked us! Is there such a thing in the world?”

Which eldest branch didn’t have conflict with the second branch? The second branch of the Lian family was so prosperous, she was sure that the eldest branch had become uncomfortable long ago!

“This is no such thing!” Lian Li said majestically, opening his eyes wide to glare at Third Aunt.
“This is your fault! Don’t say that the Tian family came to pick you up, even if no one came, you should have taken the initiative to go back! It’s almost New Year’s Eve, it’s not proper for you to stay at your maternal family’s home!”

Although she no longer expected anything from her older brother and his wife, after listening to his sanctimonious words, Third Aunt’s heart was very cold.

Trembling in anger, she told Lian Li: “Are you my eldest brother? Are you really my eldest brother? Do you know what kind of life I lived at my in-law’s house? Do you know why I came back to my parent’s home? In front of thse people, it’s fine if you don’t speak for me but how dare you help outsiders to bully me!”

Lian Li didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong and at all, instead he thought that it was Third Aunt who was being too disrespectful to her eldest brother in public.

His face darkened and he said coldly: “What are you saying? What are these words? I’m doing this for your own good! Xiao Man, look at things in the long run! What’s the point of this quarrel? Will you never go back to the Tian house in the future? Confused! Stupid!”

“That’s right! No common sense, no understanding of people’s good intentions!” Madam Qiao added happily, seeing the miserable expression on Third Aunt’s face.

Madam Qiao was very similar to Third Aunt’s sister-in-laws and mother-in-law.

With an addition of a person like Madam Qiao, it was not surprising to be miserable.

Eldest Madam Tian was so happy she clapped her hands and said: “Yes! At last, someone who understands the rules! Third Sister-in-law, don’t waste time.
Come back with us now! You heard your eldest brother!”

“No way!” Lian Fang Qing grabbed Third Aunt’s arm tightly and shouted: “My sister isn’t back yet, Third Aunt can’t leave!”

“Qing’er, don’t make a fool of yourself!” Lian Li snapped, his face purpose.
“What do you know, you’re just a child! What does Third Aunt leaving have to do with your sister returning home? Does she need your sister’s permission?” He was obviously the elder, so naturally he had the final say?

Why did they always only have that dead girl, Lian Fang Zhou, in their eyes?

 

Such a little girl actually dared to ride on his head, was he worst than her?

His heart filled with a useless fire, Lian Li was even more determined that Third Aunt had to go back to the Tian family today!
