Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: And you, what are you?

"What a pity, with two daughters, both bearing the Lin surname and not the Zhou, your Zhou family is destined to have no descendants!"

"You..."

Madam Zhou felt so angry inside that she truly wanted to rush over and strangle Ninth Miss to death right then and there. How could there be such a woman who spoke so rudely?

"Ninth Miss, please be a bit more virtuous with your words. Even if my wife has her faults, she will still be your mother-in-law in the future. Speaking to her with such disrespect goes against filial piety," Old Master Zhou said to Ninth Miss, reminding her.

"Pfft."

Ninth Miss let out a derisive laugh.

She looked at the members of the Zhou family with a disdainful gaze, one by one.

"Filial piety? What the hell is that? I am the distinguished daughter of the Prefecture Governor’s mansion. Do I need to show you any respect? My marrying into your family would be your family’s good fortune. Do you really think I’m begging to marry into your family, hm?"

Hearing her words, Elder Mr. Zhou didn’t say anything, but the bulging veins on the back of his hand resting on the table betrayed his inner feelings.

"Such a ridiculous family you have. Take your grandson and son, Zhou Liang, for example. What merits does he have?" Seeing that no one from the Zhou family had anything to say, Ninth Miss continued speaking to them.

"The autumn imperial examination hasn’t even started, and he’s already lost his senses over a woman. If it were not for fear of shaming myself, I would have slapped him already. How could I allow him to be so despicable?

The incident that I caused is known by very few people at least, but your ’fine’ grandson and ’fine’ son? He probably wishes everyone in Yejun knew about his character!

Such a person, and you still think he can marry a fairy from heaven? Not to mention wishing to marry Lin Caisang from the Lin Family? The skin of your Zhou family’s faces must be exceptionally thick!

How about it? Elder Mr. Zhou, Old Master Zhou, Madam Zhou, do you really think that your Zhou Liang will become a distinguished person in the future? It’s time to wake up from this beautiful dream! He would be lucky if he could stay well-behaved at home for the rest of his life!"

"You, you..."

Madam Zhou trembled with rage, pointing at Ninth Miss.

How could she allow her beloved son to be so disparaged by someone else?

What’s worse, she couldn’t find any fault in what Ninth Miss had said to refute, as if her son was indeed such a worthless person.

"At least my Zhou Liang is a scholar. And you, what are you?"

After pondering for a long time, she finally managed to squeeze out this sentence.

"A scholar?"

Ninth Miss gave Madam Zhou a scornful look.

"He is a scholar, yes, but... that’s all he’ll ever be, isn’t it? Heh."

She laughed coldly several times.

At least, as long as she was around, she would not let Zhou Liang have any more chances to distinguish himself. Otherwise, it would mean she was close to her own end!

"You—"

"That’s enough."

Madam Zhou wanted to say more, but then she saw Ninth Miss stand up.

"I am done with what I had to say. Elder Mr. Zhou, I don’t care about the others, but you ought to be someone of clear mind. Don’t be egged on by those lowlifes again, and do thankless tasks," Ninth Miss said.

She looked at Elder Mr. Zhou, who had been silent all along, her eyes shaded with a hint of darkness.

"If there is a next time, I cannot guarantee that each and every one of you from the Zhou family will be able to stand here whole and unharmed. After all, I come from the Prefecture Governor’s mansion, and I do know a few petty tricks."
