Second watch, seeking pink.
*********
The arrival of Lian Manman and her group immediately changed the situation in the Lian Family Old Mansion.
"Tie them up." Wu Lang instructed Han Zhong and the long-term workers.
Han Zhong led the way and, with the help of the Old Mansion's men and Chunzhu, tied up all the people Zhao Xiue had brought with strong ropes. Zhao Xiue's sister-in-law, although shouting loudly, also couldn't escape being bound.
The spirit of the people in the Old Mansion changed instantly. The first was Lian Shouyi, who had been subdued and unable to move earlier, his face disheartened, now immediately became elated, cursing as he raised his foot to kick one of the tied men twice viciously.
At the Upper Room's door, Old Master Lian furrowed his brows but now relaxed them, and Lady Zhou, holding onto the door frame, stopped trembling, her face regaining some color.
