Lin Changfeng still had to go to the provincial city for the imperial examination hence he had to defend against the desperate measures of the Zhou family.
"Alternatively, we could act pitiful, after all, we are the weaker party."
"Shut up!"
Zhou Jitang's face was burning with embarrassment at this moment, wishing he had never given birth to this son.
Furiously listening to his daughter-in-law's brazen words, he was about to raise his hand to slap her. Fortunately, he had some sense of reason, so he didn't make a further fool of himself.
If he and his wife fought openly at the Lin Family, wouldn't that be an even greater loss of face?
"Zhou Liang, you are a calamity! As a dignified scholar, you've committed such misdeeds, see if I don't break your legs when we get home!"
He waved his sleeve at his son before turning to face Ms.Lu of Lin Family.
"Aunt Lin, I'm truly sorry. Our Zhou family has produced such a disaster, we are indeed unworthy of Sangsang. Lets end this engagement, in accordance with the Clan Chief Lin's will."
He shook his head, although he was deeply dissatisfied with the Lin family, he couldn't do anything about them and could only lower his head to apologize.
"Father, regarding this matter..."
"Enough, enough. How could such a disaster continue to publicly disgrace us? Sister Lu, I accept this cancellation of betrothal agreement, let's go."
Never in his life had Mr.Zhou felt so humiliated. Every scornful and disgusted gaze provoked homicidal tendencies in him.
But what could he do about the anger? It was his own action, and he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
"Just like that, it's over?"
As Mr.Zhou was about to leave with Zhou Liang and other members of the Zhou family, an unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears.
"You are..."
He frowned in displeasure, looking at the man who leaned against the courtyard gate exuding a chilly aura, relaxing comfortably.
"Oh, yes, Auntie Qiubo, I was close to Brother Molian and I heard some of their conversation. However, there are so many people here, I am not sure whether I should speak out or not, this..."
On hearing Ya Molian's words Ya Enxi quickly interjected.
"Is there anything you can't say? Speak quickly, we need to leave." Zhe Mei shoots Enxi a glare.
It's this rascal who's responsible for turning my precious son into his current state! I'll make him pay for this! And now he is here, making a scene again. Can't he see that we're about to leave?
"You..."
Mr.Zhou and Zhou Jitang tried to interrupt Ya Enxi at the same time, but it was too late.
"Yes, Brother Molian and I heard those two in the bamboo forest say that the reason why Sister Caisang was sold was due to Second Auntie Liu being instigated by Liu Yushui. They had planned this long ago. Liu Yushui is even worse, he blamed her mother for not being thorough in her actions and for not burying Sister Caisang alive!
In the end, Zhou Liang even said that even if she hadn't been buried alive, a divorced woman who had brought about the death of her husband was just wasting food by being alive. Heaven will take care of Caisang for them."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Ya Enxi's words, everyone gasped out loud in shock.
Even members of the Zhou family were appalled by these words, unable to comprehend how their family could produce such a wicked descendant!
"Zhou Liang, Liu Yushui, you..."
Ms.Lu of Lin Family, was enraged by these words. She was so angry that she began to see black and felt herself swaying backwards.
"Grandma, grandma."
Lin Caisang quickly grabbed her arm. Ms.Lin of Yang Family, who had just recovered from her surprise, also came over to support Ms.Lu of Lin Family's other arm, thus preventing her from falling.
