Nowadays, the situation of the Lian Family is clear to anyone with eyes. Their foundation is the imperial-bestowed archway, and the younger generation at home is promising, visibly thriving, with limitless potential. For such a family, there is only flattery, affiliation, and befriending; no one would be so foolish as to oppose the Lian Family. Because doing so yields no benefit, only harm.
Therefore, to deal with Lian Manman, they can only act covertly, in secret.
For this reason, the mother and daughter of the Qian Family chose Yan Daopo to act as their knife. Their original plan was to have Yan Daopo lure Lian Manman outside and set a trap to ruin her maiden reputation. However, what they did not anticipate was that Lian Manman held no regard for Yan Daopo; she had never even visited Yan Daopo's Taoist Temple. Furthermore, whenever she went out, her entourage was meticulously strict, leaving no opportunity for exploitation.
