As soon as he entered the main hall, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. The small hands that were tightly clenched loosened up slightly. He took a deep breath to calm his emotions and walked in.

When Lady Wang saw her enter, she smiled and said, "Lan Er's body isn't well yet. Why did she come out now? Aren't you afraid she'll get sick from the wind?"

Li Wanlan ignored her, only indifferently glancing at Aunt Liu before kneeling down. He was staring at Li Xiang Nan.

Li Rou Ping and Li Manting looked at each other with faint smiles in their eyes, but no one said anything. As for Li Die, her expression became more complicated as she looked at her kneeling on the ground.

No matter what, at this time and place, it was not a good time to talk about this matter. It was hard to tell if she was really confused or just pretending.

"Father, your daughter is already engaged to be married to the young master Lu Xinhai of Assistant Minister Cao's family. How can she be married to Lin Haozhi now?" Li Wanlan deliberately avoided looking at the now ashen Li Xiangnan and continued, "The ancient saying also says that a woman is not allowed to have a second husband. Now that father is like this, where is his daughter?"

"Lan`er is still young and inexperienced, Master, please don't lower yourself to her level." When Lady Wang saw Li Xiangnan's unfriendly expression, she seemed to be angered and quickly stood up to persuade him.

Li Wanlan, who was kneeling on the ground, disapproved, as if she didn't see Lady Wang's expression towards her. She then continued, "Moreover, our daughter and Young Master Lu truly love each other. Please don't break up the two of us." He bit his lips tightly as he tried to hold back the tears that had accumulated in his eyes. He didn't let them fall and kept rolling around in his eye sockets.

"I separated you?" Li Xiangnan was so angry that his face turned red, and his chest also heaved up and down. After a while, he continued, "If the ugly matter between you and Lin Hao had not caused an uproar, do you think I would have married you into the Lin Clan?" Remembering the look of disdain on Lin Taibai's face that day, his body trembled uncontrollably in anger.

"Father, please don't marry my daughter to Lin Haozhi. Nothing happened between us." Hot, teardrops the size of beans fell down one after another.

"Master, please reconsider. Sir Lin is not a good person, I hope that old master can break off this engagement! " When Aunt Liu saw her daughter begging like this, her heart was already in pain. She didn't care what the situation was anymore and kneeled on the ground to beg with him.

"You … "You …" Li Xiangnan was so angry that he pointed his trembling finger at the two men kneeling on the ground. His face was ashen, but he couldn't say a single word.

Lady Wang saw that he was so angry that he seemed to be unable to breathe, so she gently caressed Li Xiangnan's back, revealing a sweet and kind matriarch.

The corners of Li Rou Ping's mouth hooked into a disdainful smile as she looked at the chaotic Aunt Liu and her daughter. She lightly glanced at the silent Li Manting at the side before slowly saying, "Big sister, Daddy is doing this for your own good. How can you be so disobedient to Daddy?"

What she said actually sounded like she was thinking for her sake, but she was secretly accusing Li Wan Lan of disregarding filial piety and shamelessly openly discussing her marriage.

Li Die calmly glanced at Li Rou Ping and Li Manting with her eyebrows slightly furrowed. All of this was seen by Mrs. Wang. She sighed and looked at her with a complicated expression that made people not understand what she meant.

"That's right!" Elder sister, everything that father has said is for your own good, for the good of the Li Residence.

Even if elder sister was displeased, she could not allow her father to publicly make things difficult for him in front of so many people.

"Moreover, no matter what, the Lin Family is still a Grand Commandant. Moreover, Sir Lin is the direct descendant of the family. If Big Sis marries he will become the head's mother. In the end, our Li Family still has a high status!" Li Manting's words couldn't help but be harsh. In the past, she had underestimated her.

When he thought of how his twin sisters were also like this, how could there be any simple people in Scholar Han Lin's residence? Thinking of this, he could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

Right now, she really missed the time at her uncle's house. She didn't have so much scheming and scheming and scheming.

Now that she had returned to this place, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to live as she pleased, right?

Sure enough, after Li Xiangnan heard the words of Li Manting and Li Yuping, his face turned even darker. He was faintly suppressing his anger, making it hard for people to breathe.

"Sir, please judge clearly. This humble servant and young miss do not intend to disobey Sir, but Sir Lin has been out and out of the fireworks all year round. You truly are not a good person to choose from!" Although she had a weak personality, she was still a good judge of color.

Now that he had heard the words of the two girls, how could he not understand their motives? However, when he saw that his only daughter was going to marry such a person, he felt slightly bitter. However, this was the first time he felt so powerless in his heart. He couldn't even make the decision for his daughter's marriage was painful.

"Daddy, don't be angry. Big Sis just doesn't want to marry such an unskilled popinjay. She's only thinking about her own happiness. She definitely doesn't want to go against daddy." Li Die looked at the chaotic scene in front of her. She frowned slightly and sighed as she tried to defend her.

Li Rou's pair of resentful eyes had been locked on her body ever since she spoke up for Li Wan Lan, making her feel as uncomfortable as a venomous snake.

But Aunt Liu's eyes were full of surprise, and then they were full of gratitude. She could see the look in Lady Liu's eyes and knew that she was sincerely grateful to her. She was grateful to her mother for nothing else.

Perhaps the girls born inside the high school had long since lost the right to pursue their own happiness, but she just couldn't bear to see the loving couple of Li Wanlan and Lu Xinhai torn apart just like that.

"Bring this girl back and have a good look. Tell her not to take even half a step outside the door before she marries." Li Xiang Nan looked at Li Wan Lan, opened his mouth and spat out a few words before walking out of the hall.

Because the Second Young Master was busy socializing outside, he rarely ate with his family. Li Wanlan stared at Li Xiangnan's back in silence, but her empty and fierce eyes scared Li Die.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the complacent expressions of Li Manting and Li Rou Ping, but he secretly sighed and didn't go up to comfort her.
