It was already the fourth watch of the night, and Ruoyan continued to ask for support.

Everyone knew that Old Master Lian was about to scold Lady Zhou, and as the younger generation, it was quite awkward for them to stay in the room, so they left one after another. Lian Xiuxiu, considering herself an older unmarried daughter, did not move. Lian Yeye stood beside Old Master Lian and did not leave either. Lian Manman felt it was inappropriate to stay and followed Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang out the door, but as soon as she turned around, she leaned against the door, intending to eavesdrop.
Lady Zhang took a couple of steps and did not see Lian Manman follow; she turned back and saw Lian Manman pressing her small body against the door, even lifting a corner of the door curtain with her hand, staring inside without blinking. Lady Zhang wanted to pull Lian Manman away but then thought that Lian Manman definitely did not want to leave, so she let it be.
