Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Suffering for a Lifetime in this World!

"Lan’er, could you have gotten it wrong? That’s the daughter of the county governor. How could she possibly..."

Some didn’t believe her and looked at Lan’er with suspicion as they asked.

"Yes, yes, Lan’er, could you have made a mistake?" Another person chimed in.

"How could I have made a mistake? My miss received the news a long time ago. The auspicious day for the wedding is set for just over a month from now." Lan’er was clearly displeased by the doubt from the others.

Her eyes widened as she spoke.

"Even if she is the daughter of the governor’s mansion, she is a child born out of wedlock. What kind of family of equal social status could she marry into? It’s already quite good that she could marry into the Zhou family as a legitimate wife."

The crowd: "..."

Even if the Ninth Miss was born out of wedlock, she was still the daughter of the governor’s mansion. How could they let a maidservant gossip so freely?

If such words reached the ears of people from the governor’s mansion, none of them would be able to walk away unscathed!

"Well, my miss asked me to buy some pastries, so I should be going now." The girls who didn’t want to get involved all found excuses to leave the cosmetics shop, refusing to continue the conversation.

In no time, the once bustling crowd was left with only Lan’er.

And not long after, Lin Caisang and Lin Caiqing also left the cosmetics shop and were out on the main street.

"Sister Sangsang, did you hear? The Zhou family’s marriage has been settled. That scoundrel Zhou Liang, how could he still find a wife? That kind of person should go down to the eighteenth level of hell!"

Lin Caiqing’s face was filled with indignation as she muttered in Lin Caisang’s ear.

Zhou Liang, as far as she was concerned, such a person should just go die—no, death would be too good for him. He deserved to live a life worse than death, suffering in this world for eternity!

"How about we go and mess up Zhou Liang’s marriage, Sister Sangsang?" she suggested.

Hearing this, Lin Caisang lifted her gaze and gave her sister a nonchalant glance.

She had finally awaited the settling of this marriage. If they were to meddle and spoil it, wouldn’t she end up disturbing her own peace?

"Come with me to another place."

...

Baiwei Snacks.

As soon as Lin Caisang and her companion arrived, they were led into a secluded room on the third floor.

"Owner, I’ve found out everything you asked me to,"

Zhang Shunlai’s nephew, Zhang Deye, stood respectfully in front of her. Earlier, he had received a message from the owner instructing him to find out everything about the county governor’s mansion, no matter how trivial.

"Hmm, go on."

Lin Caisang nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Owner, I didn’t inquire much about other matters, but I did find out that the Ninth Miss of the county governor’s mansion has a full brother who is only two years older than her.

However, being born out of wedlock and of the same age as the legitimate son, he has been severely suppressed from a young age. As the aunt of the Ninth Miss sought to please the governor’s wife, she didn’t look after her son very well, leaving the Ninth Miss and her brother to rely almost entirely on each other for support.

And the bodyguard at the Ninth Miss’s side, in fact, if you just consider these two without mentioning their family background, they could be seen as childhood sweethearts. The bodyguard has taken care of the two siblings ever since the Ninth Miss was very young.

So, it’s quite normal for the Ninth Miss to be inclined toward that bodyguard since despite being a guard, he has taken care of her and her older brother for many years."

Listening to Zhang Deye’s report, Lin Caisang lowered her head and thought for a moment.

It seems the Ninth Miss is quite affectionate, isn’t she? But before, didn’t she personally escort Zhou Liang to the examination venue? Could there be some misunderstanding here?
