Chapter 854: Chapter 854: He Thought, Surely It Would, Right?_1

"Brother Changfeng, you really are too kind."

Upon hearing his confusion, Lin Caisang chuckled softly and shook her head.

"Do you think that without Elder Mr. Zhou’s tacit permission, Madam Zhou would deal with our family so blatantly? You have forgotten that when they visited our home to propose marriage, Elder Mr. Zhou was indeed one of them."

"So it was really his idea!" Lin Changfeng clenched his teeth.

"We must not underestimate Elder Mr. Zhou," Lin Caisang said.

"He seems amiable on the surface, but in reality, he is more venomous than anyone else, just like a poisonous snake! I now even suspect that the incident of me being tricked by Liu Rumei into being sold off might also have involved Elder Mr. Zhou’s handiwork.

Furthermore, if Zhou Liang fails the examination this time, but you pass, the Zhou family’s face will be truly lost! Elder Mr. Zhou, being such a shrewd man, must have considered this.

So rather than watching someone they once despised climb higher and step on them, they might as well use Madam Zhou to destroy you in one fell swoop. That way, even if his grandson never passes the imperial examination in his lifetime, he won’t be criticized for lacking judgment."

Listening to his sister’s words, Lin Changfeng couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Elder Mr. Zhou, could he really be such a person?"

You should know that over the years, Elder Mr. Zhou’s reputation in Ya Village had been quite solid, and many people still admired the old man.

How could he have imagined that Elder Mr. Zhou could be as venomous as a viper?

But the truth told him that no matter how reluctant he was to believe it, not a single member of the Zhou family was good; if he continued to regard them as good people, he might as well go and hit his head against the wall.

"There’s no need to say more; I know the true nature of the Zhou family."

Seeing his sister about to speak, he immediately interrupted her, saying.

However, he couldn’t help but size up his sister, looking at her attire and asked curiously.

"I still don’t understand, what does all you’ve said have to do with the way you’re dressed now?"

What does it have to do with it?

It’s a big deal, okay!

"Brother Changfeng, I figure, since even the Zhou family themselves think Zhou Liang is pretty much useless, why not just let him completely fail the exam and not have the chance to enter the examination hall ever again?"

Lin Caisang stated.

Someone like Zhou Liang shouldn’t be given any chances; once he has an opportunity, it can lead to one’s utter downfall.

"What do you plan to do?" Lin Changfeng asked.

"What if Zhou Liang sees me outside the examination hall and then hears from you that I am the Lin Caisang he tried so hard to reject? Do you think he might regret it so much that he can’t even hold his pen? Huh?"

Lin Caisang asked him.

Lin Changfeng: "..."

He thought surely he would.

Zhou Liang would not only regret it, but also a slight cunning thought would come to his mind, for that scumbag really couldn’t withstand any significant upheaval.

If even someone with Liu Yushui’s looks could sway him, let alone his sister Sangsang, who is now dressed like a fairy, he reckons that Zhou Liang might as well have wasted this autumn imperial examination.

"You also think it could work, right?"

Even though he hadn’t spoken, Lin Caisang knew that Lin Changfeng agreed with her idea.

"It could work, but..." Lin Changfeng hesitated for a moment, not finishing his thought.

"But what?"

Lin Caisang pressed.
