Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: Waiting for Her to Clean Up Gradually

If there had been any chance of regretting the arranged marriage before, it was now absolutely impossible after the Zhou family spread the news about her without any regard. Her father would never allow the Zhou family to call off the marriage!

Even if she was seen as less than worthy, she was still a miss from the governor’s mansion. How could her father allow outsiders to bully into their home?

Besides, those outsiders were the middling Zhou family!

"Ling’er, if you do not wish to stay here, you may look for another master. I will have no objections. What do you think?" Her gaze was indifferent as she spoke to Ling’er while embroidering.

Upon hearing this, Ling’er ’plop’ knelt down on the ground.

"Miss, I dare not speak out of turn again. Please don’t send me away. I will follow you for my entire life, nowhere else will I go,"

"Hmph,"

Hearing Ling’er’s words, Ninth Miss just snorted coldly.

Following her for her whole life she said, as if Ninth Miss didn’t know? Ling’er’s indenture contract might be in her hands, but her heart was with the Senior Madam.

Whenever there was any news, Ling’er always reported it to the Senior Madam first.

Why her child suddenly lost its life due to a bowl of medicine, she wasn’t really clueless about what had happened, was she?

She did not deal with this maid now only because she was still in the governor’s mansion. Just wait, once she married into the Zhou family, she would settle all these accounts, one by one.

As for the Zhou family...

To have made her affair so publicly known, how could she possibly let them off easily?

Each and every one of the Zhou family’s members, await her slow retribution!

Leaving Ling’er kneeling on the ground, she stood up and walked towards the door, arriving beside a guard stationed outside.

"Where is my brother?" she asked.

Hearing her voice, the guard turned around to look at her.

"Reporting to Ninth Miss, Seventh Young Master has locked himself in his room. It seems... he has heard about the incidents concerning you," he hesitated before speaking.

Of course, he too had an undeniable responsibility for the matter, and had he been more careful, it wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

Hearing the guard’s words, Ninth Miss’s expression became unusually serious.

She could disregard everyone else’s reactions, but the person locked in his room was her blood brother, the one she relied on all these years.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, heading outside.

...

Outside the Zhou family’s main gate.

A carriage approached from a distance and stopped just outside the Zhou family’s gate.

The servant on duty immediately came out to check and was taken aback to see a person alight from the carriage, making his skin crawl.

"Ninth... Ninth Miss, how...how come she’s here?"

He had seen Ninth Miss before since he was a doorman for the Zhou family.

Yet with both families in such turmoil, why would Ninth Miss come to the Zhou family? Shouldn’t she be in her own boudoir crying herself half to death, then trying to take her own life a few times?

"Quick, inform Elder Mr. Zhou that the Ninth Miss from the governor’s mansion has arrived," he hurriedly shouted into the courtyard.

...

Shortly thereafter, in the Zhou family’s sitting room, Ninth Miss boldly took the seat of honor, with Elder Mr. Zhou sitting on another seat of importance.

Seeing this, the faces of other Zhou family members darkened.

Yet they could do nothing to Ninth Miss. After all, was she not from the governor’s mansion?
