Lian Manman saw Lian Shouxin like this and realized that he had not thought some things through. She had stayed behind specifically for this reason.
"Dad, did you know that my aunt intended to speak of a proposal while at the back courtyard, but my mom stopped her?" Lian Manman said, glancing at Lian Shouxin.
"Really? I didn't know that," Lian Shouxin exclaimed in surprise, "By that logic, your aunt shouldn't have brought it up with me again."
"Dad, when my aunt mentioned it to you, didn't you ask if she had discussed it with my mom first?" Lian Manman asked.
"No, I didn't," Shouxin honestly admitted.
"Dad, why didn't you think that my aunt had been with my mom in the back courtyard for half the day, yet she didn't bring this up with her. My uncle brought it up to you, she should have brought it up with my mom. Why did they both come to you? Why, when my mom had already closed the topic, didn't she say anything but still brought it up with you?" Lian Manman asked.
