Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: A Clear Conclusion

These two steamed buns must be this person’s dinner, right?

Now that they’ve been given to her, he’ll have to go hungry.

"Miss, you eat, as a man, it’s no big deal to go hungry for a meal or two. Please eat quickly before someone finds out. I will go stand guard for you." With that, the man turned and quickly left.

"Wu."

Zhou Yan twisted her neck, watching the man hurry away, then started to sob again.

"In such a large household, the only one who is kind to me is a servant... wu wu."

As she ate, she thought to herself and mumbled incoherently, at this time, her parents were probably discussing with Grandfather how to deal with her, right?

She had no idea what her final outcome would be, but it was certain it wouldn’t be good.

...

In another part of the Zhou family residence, Elder Mr. Zhou, Old Master Zhou, and Madam Zhou were all seated, each one wearing an unpleasant expression.

"Go ahead and tell me, having raised such a daughter who disgraces our family name, what have you two been doing all these years?" Elder Mr. Zhou glared at the couple, both with their heads shrinking, his heart seething with anger as he slammed his hand down on the table.

"That... how would I know? This... has nothing to do with me," Madam Zhou murmured quietly as she saw her father-in-law’s anger.

Inwardly, she thought that her daughter never seemed like she would do such a thing. She had always been brought up properly. Yesterday’s incident surely couldn’t have been Zhou Yan’s own doing.

"You—"

Elder Mr. Zhou grew even angrier upon hearing her words.

"If it’s not your responsibility, then whose is it? Isn’t Yan’er your daughter?" he roared.

"Well... if you hadn’t insisted on making Yan’er interact with Ya Molian that day... would this have happened?"

Madam Zhou, too, was angry and couldn’t help but retort. In her view, it must have been Ya Molian’s doing; otherwise, her good daughter, how could she possibly have been with that servant...

"Father, if you ask me, we should just beat that servant to death and be done with it. You still let him off the hook and made Yan’er kneel in the ancestral hall, what’s the point?"

Old Master Zhou looked at his wife and then at his father, unable to hold back a word.

If this had happened in another household, they would’ve beaten to death the servant who dared to climb into the bed of the master’s daughter. What trouble would there be then?

Afterward, we can find a good family for Yan’er to marry into. With the Zhou family’s standing in Qianlin County, who would dare gossip, and even her future in-laws wouldn’t dare make careless comments.

"Shut your mouth!"

Elder Mr. Zhou was so full of regret and anger that he felt like killing someone.

But could that servant be so easily beaten to death? Even if he was a slave, even if he could be killed at their whim.

Now that such an incident had occurred at home, if they were to kill that servant, and if something were to befall Yan’er as a result, the Zhou family’s reputation would be completely ruined!

"Yan’er is not so young anymore, it’s time to find her a husband’s family. You better hurry and make arrangements for Yan’er. There’s no need for a very well-off family. Just somewhere to the west of Qianlin County, find her a home with an honest family," he instructed his son after taking a deep breath.

"What? West of Qianlin County? Father, that’s the poorest part of our county, the poorest mountain ravines. If Yan’er marries there, will she have any good days ahead?" Madam Zhou exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
