Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Who Do You Think You Are, a Princess?
“Madam Zhou, let
remind you that those people you bribed with silver are not solely at your beck and call. Those who are swayed by money will naturally favor whoever pays them more.”
Of course, I dare say that my silver is no less than that of the Zhou family.
So, what do you say, Madam Zhou? Care to have a little competition to see, hmm?”
“You…”
Madam Zhou’s mouth opened, but she did not know how to retort.
“And Elder Mr. Zhou, I had already advised you before: one should leave a bit of dignity for oneself, not to lose all face only to later bla others for not giving you the respect that resulted in your lost dignity.”
“As for my family’s engagent with the Zhou family, it was called off long ago. If you have forgotten, I still have the cancelation docunt here. I’ve kept it in good condition—but of course, I will not show it to you, lest soone from your family damages it and it becos my fault, leaving
with no ground to stand on!”
“Now, Brother Molian and I are engaged. Your family’s unreasonable harassnt at our doorstep really makes it difficult for the Lin family to maintain our composure.”
“Elder Mr. Zhou, you are an elder and a person of reputation in Qianlin County. It really isn’t fitting for you to act beneath your status. Otherwise, if you truly feel that Lin Family is at fault for canceling the engagent with Zhou Liang, I am fully prepared to accompany the Zhou family to the county governnt office.”
“Let the county magistrate publicly judge the matter of our canceled engagent between the Zhou and Lin Families. How does that sound?”
Lin Caisang turned to Elder Mr. Zhou and asked.
“Sangsang, my son Liang’s heart still has a place for you.”
Elder Mr. Zhou, although too proud to face losing face, still felt compelled to patiently console Lin Caisang for the sake of the Zhou family’s future.
“Look at Liang, his heart is full of you. You will be happy if you marry into our Zhou family…”
“Hold your tongue!”
Lin Caisang sharply rebuked, cutting off his speech.
“Elder Mr. Zhou, did you not understand what I said? What’s the Zhou family to
that they should be associated with Lin Caisang? Zhou Liang? A man who fancies every woman he ets is worthy of a second glance from ? The entire Zhou household indeed knows how to flatter themselves! Let
tell you, even if your Zhou family were related to the imperial family, I would not spare a glance for you. Now, get out of my house this instant!”
She pointed towards the gate and addressed Elder Mr. Zhou.
“You…”
Elder Mr. Zhou staggered with anger, almost falling to the ground.
“Lin Caisang, how is my son unworthy of you? Who do you think you are?”
Madam Zhou, upon hearing Lin Caisang belittle her son to such a degree, was imdiately incensed.
“You are nothing but an uneducated bumpkin! That Liang would take a favor to you, willing to marry you into the Zhou family as a concubine, is already your Lin family’s ancestors’ good fortune! And dare you find fault with this? Who do you think you are, a princess? Pah!”
“Mother!”
Zhou Liang agreed with his mother’s words at heart.
But he intended to marry Lin Caisang and did not want additional complications before bringing her into his ho. Thus, he tugged secretly at his mother’s sleeve.
“Mother what? Have I said anything wrong?”
Madam Zhou flicked off her son’s hand and glared at him fiercely.
