Chapter 626 - 256 Tearing the Face Off (Part 2)
Only Xi Yu and a few maids like Xi Juan were stationed at the entrance. The maids from Ma’s Mansion were persuaded by Xi Yu and the others to wait outside the courtyard.
At first, the old nannies and maids outside could not hear clearly what was happening inside, only that Lian Family’s eldest grand master was very angry. However, a clanging noise abruptly made them all jump. Obviously, it was the sound of something being smashed.
An old nanny said, "We should still inform the Eldest Madam about this! If something goes wrong, we cannot bear the responsibility." Breaking things was a minor issue, but if Cousin Miss were to be harmed, they would all suffer misfortune as a result.
An old nanny hurried towards the Main Courtyard.
Overcome with anger, Lian Dongfang smashed a cup, and amidst the startled cries from outside, he quickly came back to his senses. Lian Dongfang composed himself and said, "I will take good care of him and will hire the best teacher for him, sending him to the best academy to study."
The scorn on Yueyao’s face was no longer hidden: "Eldest uncle, I’m about to be poisoned to death by Lady Mo, and yet you’re still covering for him. Will you truly educate Tingzheng properly? Eldest uncle, you have five sons, and the eldest and the second are both successful. Whether the other three succeed or not, you don’t care. But I cannot accept this, Tingzheng is the only bloodline of my father, my father needs him to continue the family line and inherit the family legacy."
Lian Dongfang almost lost his temper again, but he knew this was not the Lian family. Lian Dongfang said, "I’ve already said that once Tingzheng is brought back, he will be treated well. Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I agree to it."
Yueyao laughed coldly: "If you want us siblings to come home, you’d have to divorce Lady Mo." Yueyao wasn’t suggesting that Lian Dongfang have Lady Mo killed, but rather that he divorce her, which was an entirely different concept. Tingli might have been victim of rumor-mongering, but if he had a divorced mother, it would be hard to find a good marriage for him. For Lian Dongfang, who was eager to see his son succeed, this was absolutely unacceptable.
