章節 426: Chapter 220 New Year_2

```

"Really?" Lian Manman expressed her skepticism.

Zhao Xiu E seemed completely indifferent to being sent back home, let alone scared. In Lian Manman's view, there could only be two reasons for Zhao Xiu E's behavior. Either she had something to rely on, perhaps a generous dowry, that subdued Erlang? But if the Lian family elders made up their minds, that reliance would be useless. The Lian family could live without her dowry, and Erlang still depended on the family for his livelihood; he couldn't make decisions on his own.

Or maybe, Zhao Xiu E never liked this marriage at all. This wasn't just wild guessing from Lian Manman; watching Zhao Xiu E's attitude toward Erlang, there was no "subduing," nor could she see any deep affection.
