"Father, I have remembered it," Lian Shouren hurriedly said.
"What about you all?" Old Master Lian asked Lady Gu and her daughters.
"Father/Grandfather, we have remembered it, too," Lady Gu, Lian Huahua, and Lian Duoduo said in unison.
"Good. This is how the descendants of the Lian Family should be. A family in harmony will thrive. You brothers must support each other well..." Old Master Lian let Lian Shouren stand up, took hold of one hand of Lian Shouren with one hand and brought over Lian Shouxin with the other, clasping the brothers' hands together. He was very moved as he gave them more lessons on fraternal respect.
After saying so much, Old Master Lian was exhausted, so he let everyone leave.
"Everyone go, but Eldest, you stay; I have something to say to you alone."
What Old Master Lian said to Lian Shouren, nobody knew, but when Lian Shouren came out from the east room, he was downcast, his face still streaked with tears, obviously having cried.
