Lady Zhou, Lian Shouyi, and Lady He were making a huge commotion, yet everyone else in the room, including Old Master Lian, acted as if nothing was happening. At the old house, Lady Zhou's outbursts, manipulations, and scoldings had become so commonplace that everyone had grown accustomed to ignoring anything that didn't directly involve them.
This led to strange scenes at the old house. On one side, a few people would be calmly chatting, while on the other, someone would be getting a severe scolding from Lady Zhou.
One of the reasons for this situation was that, except for Old Master Lian, no one at the old house could reason with Lady Zhou. If anyone attempted to intervene when she was angry or tried to say a fair word for the person being scolded, they would only bring trouble upon themselves.
Sensible or foolish, no one in the old house would engage in such self-sacrificial acts.
