Chapter 1622: Helpless

"I was planning to tell everyone about my love affair." Liu Yan'er said, "But now grandpa is ill in bed, it's obviously not a good time to talk about it, so I want to wait until grandpa recovers before talking about it. Now that uncle and second uncle are so concerned about my private affairs, I told you about it."

"No, I don't agree." Liu Bailiang said immediately after hearing Liu Yan'er's words.

"I don't agree either!" Liu Baiyun said immediately.

Liu Baiming looked at his two brothers, then at his daughter, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This matter is indeed not well considered by Yan'er, but Yan'er is so old, it's normal to have a love affair."

"Third brother, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" Liu Bailiang said.

Liu Baiming's face changed slightly. He naturally understood the meaning of his two brothers' words, but he also wanted his daughter to be happy, so he pretended to be confused here.

"Uncle, uncle, you haven't even met my boyfriend yet, why do you deny it?" Liu Yan'er said with a cold face: "Besides, my love affair is my own business, I don't need you to listen to your opinions. My father didn't say anything, so it's not your turn to object."

"Third brother, look at your daughter, this is the daughter you disciplined? No respect for the elders! Does she still have me, the uncle, in her eyes?" Liu Bailiang was angry at Liu Yan'er's words, and his face was very ugly.

"I shouldn't have let you go to Jiangzhou in the first place. As a result, not only did you play wild, but you even secretly found a man in Jiangzhou. Do you still have our Liu family in your heart?!" Liu Baiyun said.

"Uncle, uncle, do you still want to restrict my freedom?" Liu Yan'er said.

Maybe because she grew up in the Qingyu League, Liu Yan'er has a weak relationship with her uncle and uncle. She respects them, but that is just out of respect for the two elders, and she is definitely not afraid of them.

If she is afraid, Liu Yan'er has never been afraid of anyone in these years.

"You..."

Liu Bailiang was about to scold Liu Yan'er, but at this moment, Zong Ning came out of Old Man Liu's room. Liu Bailiang immediately stopped scolding Liu Yan'er and hurried towards Zong Ning.

The rest of the Liu family in the hall also surrounded Zong Ning, including Liu Yan'er. In the minds of the entire Liu family, Old Man Liu's affairs are now the most important thing for the Liu family, and other things can be postponed.

"Master Zong, how is my father?" Liu Bailiang asked hurriedly.

Zong Ning's face was very ugly. He looked at everyone in the Liu family, shook his head and said, "Old Man Liu's situation is not optimistic. His body functions have deteriorated by more than half. I am incompetent and helpless."

This...

The Liu family, who had originally expressed some hope, suddenly collapsed when they heard Zong Ning's words, as if the old man had been sentenced to death and the sky had fallen for their Liu family.

"Master Zong, in your opinion, how long can the old man hold on?" Liu Baiyun asked without giving up.

"About half a year." Zong Ning said.

Another half a year?

It seems that this half a year is a hurdle for the old man, and it is not so easy to get through. Several powerful doctors and alchemists have similar judgments on the old man's condition. It seems that the old man really can't survive for half a year.

"Master Zong, do you have any way to make the old man hold on longer?" Liu Bailiang asked.

Zong Ning shook his head again and said, "I believe you have also asked other people to see Mr. Liu's condition before. The pills that Mr. Liu has taken over the years are not bad. It is difficult to find a better pill than what he took before."

Zong Ning's words completely defeated the last expectation of everyone in the Liu family.

"Yan'er, send Master Zong back." Liu Bailiang looked at Liu Yan'er and said, at the same time, he glared at Liu Yan'er with his eyes, warning her not to make trouble.

If the old man could hold on longer, then Liu Bailiang might be able to indulge Liu Yaner, but now the old man's condition is not optimistic, and there is not much time left, and there is not much time left for their Liu family. Liu Bailiang must make a decision and has no time to dawdle with Liu Yaner.

Liu Yaner understood the warning in Liu Bailiang's eyes, but she didn't take it to heart. In terms of her feelings, she didn't intend to make any concessions.

However, Zong Ning is a member of the Qingyu League after all, and she was invited by him, so sending Zong Ning back is also a courtesy.

Therefore, Liu Yaner did not refuse Liu Bailiang's arrangement. She looked at Zong Ning and said, "Master Zong, please come this way."

Zong Ning nodded. Before leaving, he looked at Liu Bailiang and others and said, "I'm sorry that I can't help."

Liu Bailiang said, "This is none of Master Zong's business. Master Zong, take care."

Zong Ning nodded again, and then, under the eyes of everyone, he followed Liu Yaner out of the hall.

After Zong Ning left, everyone returned to the hall and sat down again. The whole hall seemed unusually quiet, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

"Old Third, when Yan'er comes back, you persuade her." After a long while, Liu Bailiang spoke to Liu Baiming.

Liu Baiming opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Liu Bailiang spoke first: "I know you can't bear to see your daughter suffer. To be honest, I don't want to see Yan'er suffer. After all, she is from our Liu family. But you know what the Liu family is like now. You also know how many eyes are staring at us around the imperial capital. At this time, we can't make any mistakes. In order for the Liu family to overcome this difficulty, all of us Liu family members should work together. Yan'er is also a member of the Liu family. She should understand this."

"Yes." Liu Baiyun also said: "Sacrificing Yan'er can make our Liu family gain a powerful ally. Yan'er's sacrifice is worth it. What's more, Situ Kai is the grandson of the elder of the Qingyu League. He is talented and a good person. It's not wronged for Yan'er to marry him."

"Uncle, second uncle, Qingyu League has been very close to our Liu family in recent years. We are allies. Is it necessary to sacrifice Yan'er's happiness?" Liu Yan'er's mother asked.

"Heh." Liu Bailiang sneered, "It's true that our two families have been close over the years, but the relationship is not solid. It was Yan'er who acted as a matchmaker before, but the connection is not stable. If Yan'er can marry the grandson of the chief elder of the Sunny Rain League, the situation will be completely different. Yan'er will have the support of two elders in the Sunny Rain League, including the chief elder. Then, her say in the Sunny Rain League will be even more important. At that time, the Sunny Rain League will not abandon our Liu family easily."
