Chapter 628 - 257 From Martial (Part 1)
Zhuang Ruolan hurriedly arrived and was told by the old nanny that Lian Dongfang had already left. When Zhuang Ruolan entered the courtyard, she found it eerily quiet. She asked Nanny Hao, who was standing at the door, "Where’s Yueyao?" What had the child done to make the Lian Family’s eldest grand master so angry?
Nanny Hao didn’t dare to let Zhuang Ruolan in on her own and called out from outside, "Miss, the Eldest Madam has come to see you." Nanny Hao’s face had also turned pale from fright, but she didn’t have the courage to go in herself.
Hearing Nanny Hao’s call, Yueyao stood up, straightened her clothes, and then came out of the room.
Zhuang Ruolan looked her over from head to toe to make sure Yueyao was truly unharmed before feeling relieved. Then she asked, "My subordinates reported that Old Grand Master Lian came storming over in a rage and even smashed things in the room. Yueyao, what happened?" If there had been no issue, Lian Dongfang wouldn’t have come over so furious.
Yueyao lightly dismissed the concern, "Cousin-in-law, don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I was just planning to send Tingzheng to follow Uncle Li on his assignment. I think it’s good for a boy to broaden his horizons. It’s just that my uncle didn’t agree and scolded me."
Zhuang Ruolan was taken aback, as this was indeed inappropriate.
Xiang Wei added from the side, "Lian Family’s eldest grand master said if Miss doesn’t listen to him, he would disown both Miss and Young Master Tingzheng."
Zhuang Ruolan’s expression changed drastically. Being disowned from the clan was a serious matter. She said angrily, "This Old Master Lian is too absurd. For such a small issue, he wants to disown you from the clan? Is being disowned from the clan something that can be said so lightly?" Although Yueyao making the decision to send Tingzheng to Guangdong and Guangxi with Li Guoxing was not very appropriate, it was not a matter that warranted disownment.
Zhuang Ruolan sighed to herself, no wonder the Lian family was controlled by the Lady Lian. It was all due to the indulgence of the Lian Family’s eldest grand master.
Yueyao chuckled, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, my uncle was just speaking off the cuff, you shouldn’t take it seriously. If he truly wants to disown me from the clan over this, then that would be wishful thinking."
Zhuang Ruolan was at a loss for words, wondering if being disowned was something that could be mentioned so casually. She said, "Without Old Grand Master Lian’s permission, you unilaterally decided to let Tingzheng go to Guangdong and Guangxi with Li Guo Xing. Yueyao, you were inappropriate in doing so." As long as there was no open confrontation, Lian Dongfang was still their uncle, and if Tingzheng followed Li Guoxing to Guangdong and Guangxi, it would completely strip Lian Dongfang of his dignity.
