Capítulo 1146: Chapter 494: Moved to Tears
When Tingyuan returned to the Lian family, he sensed sothing was wrong. As soon as he got back to his courtyard and before he could sit down, his father’s personal young servant ca over, saying the Old Master requested his presence.
Tingyuan’s face turned pale. This ti, even though he defied Lian Dongfang’s wishes, it did not an he wasn’t afraid of him. On the contrary, he was extrely fearful of this strict father. Upon hearing his father’s summons, Tingyuan’s hands trembled slightly. It was certain he wouldn’t escape this familial punishnt.
Lian Dongfang looked at his slightly pale-faced youngest son with an indescribable expression. He knew this youngest son’s temperant—good at studies but too weak in nature. He initially thought he would just visit Yuehuan, but unexpectedly, he decisively helped Yuehuan and Qian Tu divorce and quickly completed all the procedures. “Speak, who urged you to do this?”
Tingyuan lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Lian Dongfang said in a stern voice: “Speak…” Those people in the prison are like leeches; without soone managing things from behind the scenes, it would have been impossible for Tingyuan to accomplish everything in such a short ti, leading to a situation where everything was settled before they heard the news.
Upon hearing this, Tingyuan’s legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground, stamring: “No one urged . The Northwest is thousands of miles from the Capital City; in such cold weather on the road, sister would surely die. I don’t want fourth sister to die, so I went to plead with third sister.”
Lian Dongfang slamd his hand on the table with a thunderous sound: “What did you say?” It was Yueyao; his son actually went to plead with Yueyao? Could there be anything more humiliating?
Tingyuan was scared and trembled all over but continued speaking: “I begged you all to save fourth sister, but none of you paid attention to . I didn’t want my sister to die, so I had no choice but to plead with third sister.” Although he successfully rescued his sister, he felt deeply sorrowful. Tingyuan recalled pleading bitterly with his brothers and sister, but none of them paid any heed. Instead, it was his cousin, who usually ignored them, that lent a helping hand, leaving Tingyuan with mixed feelings.
Lian Dongfang frowned slightly; no one had inford him about this matter. Actually, it was also Lian Dongfang’s oversight. He just thought his youngest son was too weak to do anything even if he cared about his sister, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. How was he to know that in the blink of an eye, his youngest son would do such a thing: “Explain the whole process in detail.”
Tingyuan dared not disobey and recounted the events once more.
After listening to Tingyuan’s words, Lian Dongfang’s expression grew somber. After pondering for a mont, he said: “Go and bring your sister back imdiately. The Lian family won’t deny her a al.”
Tingyuan shook his head: “Father, I tried to persuade sister to co back, but she said she won’t return to the Lian family. Father, sister said she still wants to save Chenghong.” Tingyuan could plead with Yueyao to save Yuehuan because Yuehuan was family, but he didn’t have the audacity to ask Yueyao to rescue Chenghong as well.
Lian Dongfang certainly wouldn’t go personally to bring Yuehuan back, so he said: “Get your second brother to bring her back.” This was Lian Dongfang showing so concession.
Yueyao knew Yuehuan went to Sishui Alley but frowned and said: “Since Yuehuan is out, Uncle won’t let her live outside.” It wasn’t because Lian Dongfang adored his daughter, but for maintaining that ridiculous reputation.
Xiang Wei chuckled: “What does it matter if Lian Dongfang is unwilling? As long as Yuehuan insists on not returning to the Lian family, isn’t that enough?” You can’t make a cow drink water by forcing its head down.
Yueyao, however, thought further than Xiang Wei: “After we get Chenghong out tomorrow, send the mother and son to the manor.” She managed to separate from the Lian Mansion smoothly because, firstly, she was just a niece, and more importantly, she had her uncle’s support, but Yuehuan didn’t have the sa situation. If Uncle was determined to bring her back, Yuehuan would ultimately have to give in. The only solution was to avoid it.
Xiang Wei thought Yueyao worried too much: “You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore.”
Yueyao certainly understood Xiang Wei’s thoughts: “The Lian family’s affairs are not in my concern; you also don’t need to feel unjust for . Yuehuan is soone who knows how to be grateful; if you want to use Yuehuan, you should sincerely engage with her. Only this way will she wholeheartedly do things in the future.”
Xiang Wei laughed: “You’re clearly being soft-hearted but insist on giving a whole rationale like this. Fine, as you wish. Tomorrow, I will send them both away.”
Tingyuan took Tingyi to Sishui Alley.
The house Xiang Wei prepared for Yuehuan was very small, only four rooms and a small courtyard. The courtyard itself was also bleak and gray.
