Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: Haven’t Had Dinner Yet?
This point, not to ntion the ancestors of the Zhou family, even he could not allow such a thing to happen!
“I’ve said it before, this marriage alliance should be reconsidered, but you all wouldn’t listen. Now, we’ll just have to wait for the Prefectural Governor to co and settle accounts with our Zhou family!”
Having said this, he turned his gaze towards Madam Zhou.
At the ntion of her father-in-law’s words, Madam Zhou’s face also reddened.
When the Prefect’s mansion sent soone to propose the marriage, she too was thinking about the humiliation she had suffered from the Lin family these past days, wanting to get even, which led her to thoughtlessly agree.
Who could have expected such scandalous affairs to be happening within the Prefect’s mansion?
“That… I didn’t know, how could I have known… about those affairs in the Prefect’s mansion, I didn’t know about them before.” She said sowhat guiltily.
If she had known earlier, no matter how powerful the Ninth Miss’s charms were, even if she were a princess, she would have never agreed.
In desperate hope, her eyes turned to her husband, begging him to speak favorably on her behalf in front of Elder Mr. Zhou. After all, no matter what, this marriage had to be called off.
“Dad, let’s not talk about this now. Let’s quickly cancel the engagent. It’s better sooner rather than later,” Old Master Zhou said hurriedly, catching her imploring look.
Upon hearing this, Elder Mr. Zhou took another deep breath.
Did they think he was reluctant to call off this marriage? Upon hearing the news, he wanted to cancel it more than anyone else! But canceling an engagent couldn’t be accomplished just by storming over, could it?
“Since things have already reached this point, we don’t need to be courteous anymore. Let’s spread the news, and if it becos widely known, perhaps we might still be able to call off the marriage!”
He ordered this to everyone in the hall.
“Good, I’ll go right away.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou, not caring about anyone else, hurriedly dashed out, and the others also turned and left the hall.
“What… what’s happening?”
Zhou Liang was still out of the loop, completely failing to grasp their conversation, feeling completely out of step with the others.
“Grandfather, what has happened? Has the Lin family changed their minds and decided to marry Lin Caisang to ?”
Upon hearing this, Elder Mr. Zhou’s teeth nearly shattered with frustration as he looked up at his grandson.
“Get out, just go back to your room and don’t you dare step out without my order!” he was nearly driven to death by anger at his unfilial grandson, wondering how he had raised such a grandson.
“But I haven’t eaten yet?”
Zhou Liang’s eyes widened as he touched his stomach.
He had been waiting here for quite a while, thinking that it was almost ti to eat. Who would have thought it still wasn’t possible? Were all these dishes just ant for display?
“You—”
Elder Mr. Zhou’s fury was lodged in his throat, his vision going dark as he nearly collapsed backward.
Fortunately, the back of a chair was behind him, preventing him from falling to the floor from his grandson’s infuriating behavior. Otherwise, he would have really lost all face.
At such a critical ti, if they were not careful, their Zhou family’s reputation could be completely ruined. Yet his grandson was still thinking about eating? Could he starve to death from missing one al?
“Grandfather, if you’re not going to eat then I’ll have Cai take all these dishes to my room and I can eat by myself,” Zhou Liang, still oblivious to his mistake, said to Elder Mr. Zhou.
