Oddly, in the Lian Family, a large household, not a single person stepped in to stop the fight. Could it be that everyone was out? That seemed impossible. They had just finished dinner. Old Master Lian, Lian Shouyi, and Lian Shouli had gone to look at the fields; Lady He had gone out visiting neighbors. But Lian Shouren and his family were definitely all at home.
It was Lian Shouren who had taken the group into town, with the plan devised by someone in the main house. If any of them came out to stop the fight, wouldn't that just redirect Zhao Xiue's anger toward them? Zhao Xiue had a sharp tongue, and nobody knew what unpleasant words she would hurl next. The members of the main house were all clever people; why would they step in to mediate the fight?
