Xie Tian had been taken advantage of in a significant way.
The Hong family was a matrilineal clan, where women held a slightly higher status than men, which meant that fellows like Hong Ren could only stand on tiptoe outside, peering in, while Xie Tian was surrounded by a throng of women.
Not only surrounded, but upon seeing Xie Tian, whom they viewed as a prize son-in-law, the Hong ladies, such as aunts and great-aunts in red, threw propriety to the wind.
So it was that they nearly touched him all over; if not for Yiyi, who was just about dying of embarrassment, Granny Gu Sha would not have coughed a few times to let Xie Tian preserve his innocence.
"It's too terrifying..."
Xie Tian shivered inwardly, then his bloody eyes shifted and scanning the grinning Hong Yong, he bowed to the approaching Granny Gu Sha, "Junior Xie Tian greets Granny Gu Sha."
"Ha ha, good child, get up, let Granny take a good look at you."
