Lian Manman waited until the carriage came to a complete stop before getting off and looking into the courtyard, just in time to see this scene unfold.
Lian Shouren and Lady Gu, who had been so calculating earlier, now had to display their filial piety in front of others, pretending to be so concerned and anxious to see Old Master Lian. Lady Gu even scolded Lian Duoduo for walking too slowly, dragging her along the way.
The one stopping Lian Shouren's beating was Lian Shouyi, who continued to hit and berate Lian Shouren for his lack of filial piety.
With the cleverness and enthusiasm to show filial piety, even a little bit of genuine concern would have spared Old Master Lian from vomiting blood and collapsing. Lian Manman looked down on this pretense, so she didn't rush. She settled the fare with the coachman before slowly walking into the courtyard.
