Chapter 742: Chapter 742: I Understand Now

Lin Caisang watched them and spoke.

"Hmm, are you suggesting that I offend everyone in the village on behalf of you, who harbor malevolent intentions? Or, are you hoping that I will spread words around, stating that you are proposing that everyone in the village should be punished, everyone altogether, for this? Hmm?"

"This..."

The man who reminded Lin Caisang fell silent.

If that were the case, could he still have a foothold in this village? He would surely drown in the spittle of the others!

Thus, everyone left with their tails between their legs. Auntie Fang, aided by two good friends of hers, also left. Only the Lin family and Clan Chief Lin remained in the courtyard.

"Sangsang, do you really plan to keep this black leopard on Manghuang Mountain?" Clan Chief Lin looked at the leopard and felt a tremor in his heart.

Keeping a wolf had already been terrifying enough. Now keeping a leopard, does this young girl intend to turn Manghuang Mountain into a home for beasts?

"Grandfather Clan Chief, I was just trying to scare them a bit. I can’t really raise it on Manghuang Mountain. It will return to its own forest shortly," Lin Caisag reassured, patting the leopard’s head in praise of its good performance today.

She explained to the Clan Chief.

It’s better to keep a leopard in a ranch space. Manghuang Mountain has a mother wolf and four baby wolves, and that’s enough.

...

After bidding Clan Chief Lin goodbye, Lin Caisang excused herself to Lin Laogeng and Lu Qiubo before heading to Ya Enxi’s house alone.

"Sangsang, you’re here. Come in and sit down."

Upon seeing her, Beidou quickly greeted her and led her inside.

"Mistress, I’ve found out about what happened today. Clan Chief Ya incited Ya Ji using his position as the clan chief. Ya Ji then had his daughter-in-law instigate unrest in the village. The rumors about you and the master also originated from Ya Ji’s family."

As soon as they entered the room, Beidou immediately relayed what she had discovered to Lin Caisang, maintaining the master-servant boundary.

"It’s Clan Chief Ya again!"

At this point, Lin Caisang absolutely detested Clan Chief Ya. Didn’t he stand others doing well?

"When will Old Yun be back?" she asked Beidou.

Ya Molian had previously told her that Old Yun had other matters to attend to, and couldn’t always stay at Clan Chief Ya’s house.

She thought that if both of them kept watch, Clan Chief Ya would be wary and although he may create minor troubles, he wouldn’t cause significant problems. However, she didn’t expect that he could even manipulatively use Ya Ji to stir unrest in the entirety of Ya Village.

She had indeed underestimated him.

"Well, about that..."

At her question, Beidou hesitated, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Mistress, I and Old Yun... we don’t belong to the same division, although I do know them, they..."

"I understand."

Before Beidou could finish, Lin Caisang raised her hand to interrupt her.

The organization to which Beidou and Nangong Piao’er belong were probably Ya Molian’s last resort. They couldn’t be easily exposed.

"Mistress, if you want, I can discreetly investigate this," Beidou proposed, looking at Lin Caisang.

"No need."

Lin Caisang immediately declined her suggestion.

"I can go myself. It’s about time I meet this Clan Chief Ya. He seems to be quite energetic; I want to see it for myself."

She didn’t want to expose Beidou and the others just because she wanted to save some effort. Those things that she could do, she would rather do them by
