Chapter 776: Chapter 776: I Will Handle It Myself

"Because Zhou Liang has been focusing all his energy on Liu Yushui for the past six months, he has completely lagged behind in his studies. With the autumn imperial examination approaching, everyone in the Zhou family is concerned that Zhou Liang will fail."

Beidou said.

Upon hearing, Lin Caisang merely raised her eyebrows.

Isn’t it a foregone conclusion that Zhou Liang will fail? He would definitely fail unless the county magistrate spent a fortune to pave the way for his son-in-law.

But will the county magistrate do so?

Not to mention that the daughter who is about to be married to Zhou Liang is of lower birthright, even if she wasn’t, the marriage is not settled yet. How could the county magistrate take the risk for a relative unknown?

Moreover, based on her assumption, the Zhou family would probably hesitate to admit to the county magistrate that Zhou Liang might fail to pass the exam, right?

This is a marriage alliance the Zhou family has eagerly pursued, why would they jeopardize it themselves? They must think that if Zhou Liang fails, the county magistrate wouldn’t marry his daughter to him, right?

Little did they know that whether Zhou Liang passes or not, the county magistrate would definitely marry his daughter to him.

As for the county magistrate, he is probably considering whether or not to trip Zhou Liang up and hope he fails the exam, isn’t he?

After all, it’s impossible to keep his daughter’s secret forever. If Zhou Liang does become an important official, the father-in-law and son-in-law might become enemies, leading to his own trouble.

"So what? What does Madam Zhou intend to do?" she asked.

All these calculations concern the Zhou family and the magistrate’s residence. It seems to have nothing to do with her, does it?

How did it come back to her?

"Didn’t you say you have a horoscope prophesied with wealth and success? Madam Zhou thinks if the Zhou family ties some relation to you, perhaps Zhou Liang can pass the exam, just as he passed the primary scholar and talented scholar exam, by clinging to your auspicious destiny, so..."

Beidou prolonged his speech, unsure if he should continue.

"So what?" Lin Caisang asked.

What new trick could this despicable woman, Madam Zhou, come up with, huh.

"Madam Zhou has been encouraging Zhou Liang to reconnect with you, hoping to renew the previous engagement." Beidou said.

"Pfft."

Lin Caisang couldn’t help but laugh.

This Zhou family, do they really take her to be at their beck and call?

"However, Zhou Liang is unwilling right now. Madam Zhou does not dare to pressure the son who has an upcoming exam. She might personally visit Ya Village in the next few days, perhaps even Elder Mr. Zhou will accompany her."

Beidou said.

"I was originally intending to deal with the whole Zhou family directly, but considering Ban Yilu in the village, I chose to restrain myself."

She took a deep breath and said again.

Now with the absence of their lord, the village is small, and there remain only a few of the lord’s followers. She doesn’t want to expose herself under the eyes of Ban Yilu due to her recklessness.

"You did well."

Lin Caisang nodded.

If Beidou really took action against the Zhou family, Ban Yilu might trace it back to Beidou.

It’s best not to take this risk.

"You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll handle it myself."

As for the Zhou family, since they dare to bully her, they can’t blame her for being impolite!

...

After departing from Ya Molian’s house, Lin Caisang went up to Manghuang Mountain.
