Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: Visit Yejun

"But I heard that when Elder Mr. Zhou and his people went to the Prefect’s mansion, they didn’t even see the Prefect himself; it was always his wife who came forward."

After pondering for a moment, he spoke again.

"Sangsang, didn’t you say that the Prefect’s wife couldn’t stand the idea of Seventh Young Master and Ninth Miss being content? Could it be that she has secretly instructed the Zhou family to be unkind to Ninth Miss? That’s possible, right?"

"It is possible."

Lin Caisang nodded and looked at Lin Changfeng.

"Brother Changfeng, what do you think?"

But Lin Changfeng simply smiled faintly and shook his head lightly at her.

"First of all, the matter of the Prefect’s Ninth Miss has been so publicized by the Zhou family that everyone knows about it. Even if the Prefect’s wife doesn’t care about the public face of the Prefect’s mansion but only about the pressure her husband applies on her, she still would not show a pleasant face to the Zhou family.

Furthermore, now that the Prefect’s Ninth Miss’s reputation has been utterly ruined by the Zhou family, and the bill cannot be forcefully passed on to anyone else, the Zhou family can only swallow their teeth and blood this time.

To the people in the Prefect’s mansion, the Zhou family is no longer an in-law but an enemy.

Even if the Prefect’s wife were supremely foolish, she wouldn’t dare to openly agree and secretly oppose her husband, to form an alliance with the Zhou family in any way; this would undoubtedly be like teasing a tiger by pulling its whiskers.

And this whole affair was initiated by the Zhou family. If the Prefect cares even a little about face, he will certainly stand up for his daughter and not let the people of the Zhou family slap him across the face.

In other words, whenever Ninth Miss marries into the Zhou family, as long as she wishes, the people of the Zhou family must quickly get out of her way, including Elder Mr. Zhou!"

"Tsk!"

Lin Changhong clicked his tongue lightly upon hearing his words.

It seems that the Zhou family has done more than shoot themselves in the foot; they have completely drained their own blood to become the laughing stock of others, haven’t they?

"Brother Changfeng, that... the Prefect can’t possibly be the Prefect for life, can he? He will eventually grow old, won’t he?" Lin Chushui looked at Lin Changfeng and asked.

At his words, Lin Changfeng finally raised an eyebrow and looked at his sister.

So, when Sangsang previously told him to talk to the Seventh Young Master from the Prefect’s mansion in a few days, it was to discuss this; he finally grasped part of the secret.

"In a few days, I will reside in Yejun for a while, and incidentally, I’ll arrange to meet with the Seventh Young Master from the Prefect’s mansion."

He told Lin Caisang.

"Alright."

Lin Caisang nodded and then glanced at Lin Chushui once more.

"Chushui has been staying at home and is getting bored. Brother Changfeng, take him with you to Yejun for a visit, and Changyi too. That young fellow is at the age to have fun. He should go to Yejun as well."

"Alright."

Lin Changfeng nodded, not opposing her suggestion.

These younger brothers always had to step out one by one; they couldn’t always be confined at home.

...

Zhou family.

After being driven out by the Prefect’s mansion, Elder Mr. Zhou and Old Master Zhou returned home with their heads down in dejection.

At this moment, they didn’t even have the energy to speak.

"If only we had known... if only we hadn’t spoken out... Father, it’s all your..." Madam Zhou’s eyes were red as she began to blame her father-in-law, but Old Master Zhou quickly covered her mouth.

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

Old Master Zhou was skilled at reading people and knew when it was acceptable to speak critically in front of his father and when not even a peep should be made.

Like right now, for instance...
