Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: It’s Not Real, Is It?

"Sangsang, I’ve inquired about it, and the Zhou family’s marriage arrangement with the Prefectural Magistrate’s family has indeed been settled. Now, Madam Zhou is proudly boasting about it all over Qianlin County, so pleased with herself."

"Really?"

Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang just gave a faint smile.

It seemed everything really went as she had expected—the Zhou family’s marriage ties with the Prefectural Magistrate’s family had been firmly established.

Moreover, in the future, even if the Zhou family wanted to back out, it would be impossible.

"It’s about time. Big brother, you and Brother Enxi should visit Qianlin County again tomorrow and make sure that the Ninth Miss from the Prefectural Magistrate’s family’s affairs reach Madam Zhou’s ears. Remember, you must tell her in person; the words can’t pass through anyone else."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ya Enxi.

"Alright."

Lin Changhong nodded, and Ya Enxi also nodded at her.

They could certainly do this job since Madam Zhou was currently out and about in high spirits. Whispering a few words into her ear should definitely be possible.

"Just make sure she doesn’t see you," Lin Caisang warned them after seeing their nods.

"Mm."

Ya Enxi nodded.

"Also, Brother Changfeng, aren’t you acquainted with the Seventh Young Master from the Prefectural Magistrate’s family?" Lin Caisang turned to Lin Changfeng.

"Him?"

Lin Changfeng thought for a moment before responding.

"We studied in the same academy, so there’s some connection. The Seventh Young Master from the Prefectural Magistrate’s family has always been a man of few words and didn’t have many friends at the academy. I don’t know why?

I only knew he was a son of the Prefectural Magistrate’s family but never saw him putting on airs; indeed, he’s quite an exceptional person."

"That’s because he’s illegitimate and has always been oppressed by his stepmother, hiding his talents," explained Lin Caisang.

She had thoroughly investigated this person, who was indeed a man of exceptional talent. However, due to the tough life in the Prefectural Magistrate’s family, he had to conceal his brilliant plumage.

If he did not hide his capabilities, he might have already become a corpse within the Prefectural Magistrate’s compound by now, right?

This was just one of the most common self-preservation tactics among the children of major households; nothing unusual at this point.

Yet even so, this Seventh Young Master of the Prefectural Magistrate’s family was the most outstanding among the numerous descendants, otherwise, he truly couldn’t have protected his sister who caused such a big commotion.

"Sangsang, are you asking me to say something to him?" Lin Changfeng asked her.

"Yes."

Lin Caisang nodded.

"But not now, in a few days’ time."

"Alright, whenever you say, I’ll just go," Lin Changfeng readily agreed.

...

The next day, when Madam Zhou left her home as usual to go shopping and incidentally flaunt her remarkable future daughter-in-law,

Ya Enxi and Lin Changhong were already waiting for her in the teahouse where she would drink tea.

From behind the screen, they recounted the secrets the Prefectural Magistrate’s family had desperately hidden, and indeed, Madam Zhou, who was awaiting the arrival of several ladies she was on friendly terms with, immediately became agitated.

With a face pale as iron, she got up in a panic and walked behind the screen.

But Ya Enxi and Lin Changhong had long since departed, leaving no trace of themselves behind and only Madam Zhou, stamping her feet in anger with her maidservant by her side.

"Madam, this... it’s not true, is it?"

The maidservant by her side looked at her lady cautiously, even her words uttered with great care.
