Lian Shouyi looked at the cane with some fear in his heart, following the belief that a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. With money now in hand, he slowly moved towards the east wing.
"...What about the peanuts and sesame cakes promised to us?" Lady He saw the situation and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Give them to her!" Old Master Lian turned back and instructed, "Give her more so she can take them back to eat."
Lian Shouyi and Si Lang held money in their hands, while Lady He carried freshly roasted peanuts and sesame cakes. The three of them slowly retreated back to the east wing, shutting the door behind them.
Old Master Lian let out a sigh of relief, knowing that this crisis was temporarily over.
Just as he settled down, the Woo Family brothers came to the door with their people. Old Master Lian, accompanied by Lian Shouren, personally went out to welcome them and led them to the Upper Room.
