Lady Zhou was furious. She felt that Lady He's beating of Liulang was a show of defiance, not putting her in her eyes as the mother-in-law. Of course, if Lady He didn't beat Liulang, she would think that Lady He was indulging the child and not taking her seriously either.
"Are you beating him to death to show me?" Lady Zhou pointed at Lady He and scolded, "If you kill him, there will be meat for tomorrow. A good child has been led astray by you, a gluttonous and lazy woman, and now you have the audacity to take credit..."
The ruckus outside was getting louder, with both Liulang and Si Lang crying loudly, and Lady He and Lady Zhou slapping their hands and sobbing plaintively.
Old Master Lian, along with other members of the Lian Family, also came out of their houses. Everyone stood in the courtyard, preventing Lady He from hitting Liulang any further, and at the same time trying to soothe Lady Zhou.
