Chapter 15: Chapter 15 I Brought Brother Zhou Liang Back Chapter 15: Chapter 15 I Brought Brother Zhou Liang Back However, there was not a hint of amiability on her face. She still wore a cold expression, giving no one a pleasant look.
Weren’t they the ones who came to break off the engagement? Ms. Lu of Lin Family really had no clue, did she?!
However, whether Ms. Lu was truly unaware or just feigning ignorance, they had a hunch. Ms. Lu was trying to step on them, the Zhou family.
“Auntie Lu, your Sangsang has been married after all; this match should have been called off by now. Even if we want to break off the match, shouldn’t it be our Zhou family doing the breaking off? After all, our Zhou family hasn’t done anything wrong. We can’t be simply labeled with the disgrace of having an engagement broken off by others. Don’t you agree?”
A middle-aged man stood up. He was Second, the second eldest of the Zhou family.
Whether Zhou Liang’s engagement was broken off or not, it had nothing to do with him. But if Zhou Liang were to be rejected by Sangsang, it would no longer concern him alone. His children would also be implicated.
Hence, he was against the Lin family breaking off the engagement.
“Oh, so that’s the case. The Zhou family…..hasn’t done anything wrong.”
Ms. Lu nodded her head, her eyes glowing as she stared at Mr. Zhou, making him so embarrassed he felt unsettled.
“Grandpa Zhou, the autumn imperial examination is coming up. Zhou Liang is surely studying hard at home, isn’t he? He is so diligent, I am sure he will pass the candidate exam this time.”
As she saw Mr. Zhou almost fleeing from embarrassment, Lin Caisang quickly stepped in to add another remark.
He felt that something was strange, and realized that his imprudent grandson Zhou Liang wasn’t there when he should have been!
So, he stood up from his seat.
“Jitang, where’s Liang? Where has he run off to again?”
Breaking off the engagement with Lin Caisang was the most important matter to Zhou Liang at this moment. What could be more important than that?
A moment ago when he had entered the village, it seemed like he had seen…
Remembering that person, his expression abruptly changed. “Go, quickly… find Liang for me…”
“No need, Grandpa Zhou. I’ve brought Zhou Liang back.”
Before Mr. Zhou finished speaking, Lin Changhong’s voice, filled with anger, resounded in the courtyard.
From Lin Caisang’s point of view, she couldn’t see the people in the courtyard. However, from the sound of footsteps, she could tell that there were quite a few people, not just Lin Changhong, Lin Baiyi, Zhou Liang, and Liu Yushui.
Upon recognizing the voice, Mr. Zhou immediately rushed out the door, followed by the rest of the Zhou family.
“What are you trying to do? Why have you bound my Liang? Liang, who has beaten you ? Tell your mother, I’ll kill them.”
Almost instantaneously, voices of shock echoed from the courtyard.
Ms. Lu was somewhat confused about what had happened, but she could see that Zhou Liang and Liu Yushui had been brought back with their hands tied.
“Grandma, the real show has just started.”
A faint smile touched the corners of Lin Caisang’s lips as she followed Ms. Lu outside.
However, to her surprise, the courtyard, which was quite large, was half-filled with people!
“Land officer, what… what’s happening here? How did my Liang offend you?” Mr. Zhou asked, furrowing his brows. Even though he had a hunch of what was going on, he pretended not to.
Inwardly, he was cursing the members of the Lin family to the high heavens.
