These words were like a wake up call for Xu Lan. Previously, Tan Jing was very unhappy about the fact that Wu Min left the house to Xia Zhe and would always come to Xu Lan to complain about it both openly and covertly. As time passed, Xu Lan also felt that there was something wrong with this decision and even wanted to move into the courtyard house herself. However, if she gave it some careful thought now, was this not Tan Jing's scheme?
If Xia Fang had not managed to stop them at that time and Xu Lan and Tan Jing had successfully moved into the courtyard house, then all the relatives of the Tan family would have come to take their share of the loot. By then, Xu Lan would not be able to reject them even if she wanted to.
It was not as if the family did not support Tan Jing's decision to adopt a child, but it was not the right time now. Also, it was really difficult to find a child of the right age with a good personality.
