Having seen that the Lian Family seemed to be gearing up for a family meeting, Old Lady Chen said to Zhong Yide, "Let's leave first, let them speak freely. We'll sit in the lobby for a while."
Old Master Zhong nodded, supporting Old Lady Chen, and left the banquet hall.
"Now that there are no outsiders here, if those tricks your elder brother used were applied to your own child, could you still stand here making indifferent remarks?" the old lady asked her second son as the doors to the banquet hall closed, "Why does it seem like you protect your own child in private, but when it comes to your sister's child, you don't care as much?"
"Don't say Shi Xiu hasn't lived with our Lian family, hasn't used a penny from the Lian family. Even if he were born into our Lian family, whom he chooses to marry is his own freedom. Even now, could you still be applying your elder brother's standards as the family creed?"
Lian Zhongjin was suddenly lost for words.
