Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Give Our Lin Family An Explanation_1

He stood up, pointed at Zhou Liang, and addressed Elder Mr. Zhou.

"Now that the marriage between the Zhou and Lin Families has already been called off and my sister has been promised to another, Zhou Liang has behaved in such a manner today. As an elder of the Zhou family, not only have you not reprimanded Zhou Liang for his improper speech, but in front of my sister, you’ve spoken these equivocal words in an attempt to smear her reputation.

Elder Mr. Zhou, shouldn’t you owe the Lin Family an explanation?"

He asked sternly.

"You!"

Elder Mr. Zhou had truly not expected Lin Changfeng to stand up at this time.

He had only spoken as he did in order to allow Zhou Liang to enter the examination hall with a peaceful mind. Could Lin Changfeng not understand the heart of an elder?

"Changfeng, Grandpa Zhou meant no harm. It’s just that Liang is currently perturbed, and Grandpa Zhou only wished to stabilize him for now. You should be able to understand..."

"I cannot understand!"

Lin Changfeng bluntly interrupted Elder Mr. Zhou.

"To stabilize your grandson’s emotions, does my sister’s reputation deserve to be ruined? Elder Mr. Zhou, is it that in your eyes, only your grandson is human, and everyone else is just a pawn for you to trample on at will?"

As he spoke, he let out a sneer.

"Indeed, initially when you insisted on making marriage ties with our Lin Family, wasn’t it because you saw my sister’s prosperous destiny? Now that Zhou Liang is about to take the imperial examination, haven’t you shamelessly come to our house just a few days ago to propose marriage without considering my sister is already betrothed to another, proposing to take my sister as a concubine? Elder Mr. Zhou, I really want to ask you, aren’t you at least a scholar? Doesn’t your Zhou family consider itself a family of scholars? How can you do such demeaning things?"

Now my sister is merely here to see me into the examination hall, yet she has to face such humiliation by someone from the Zhou family. Is this something Elder Mr. Zhou expects me to simply swallow?"

"Now I want to ask everyone present here. I’ll pose a question to all of you—if your family member were insulted by others this way, what would you do? Just because Elder Mr. Zhou is earnest for the sake of his grandson, should we let this go?"

"Lin Changfeng, you..."

At this moment, Elder Mr. Zhou truly felt the blood in his mouth difficult to suppress.

The Lin Changfeng of the past, who appeared so refined, never seemed like someone who could be so sharp-tongued, and yet today, for the sake of Lin Caisang, he had publicly confronted him!

But then again, considering Lin Caisang, whether in the past or now, has always been the Lin Family’s treasured darling, it was only natural for Lin Changfeng, as her cousin, to protect her.

He found himself unable to come up with any words to refute Lin Changfeng.

"Where on earth did these people come from? They’re too immoral, ruining a young lady’s reputation in front of so many people and still acting as if it’s all justified. They call themselves scholars? They’ve completely lost face as scholars, haven’t they?"

"What about doing everything for their grandson? If my family had such a disgraceful grandson, I would have slapped him to death long ago. How could I let him out to lose my face?"

An elder, about the same age as Elder Mr. Zhou, stared intently at him and spoke.

"Grandfather, what are you doing? Your grandson is still standing right here. Comparing me to those despicable lowlifes, have you considered my feelings?" The young man standing by the elder’s side glanced dismissively at Zhou Liang and muttered to the elder.
