Chapter 166: Chapter 166 That Person is Lin Changfeng Chapter 166: Chapter 166 That Person is Lin Changfeng So my son must be saved.
“Shut up, you foolish woman! You gave birth to such a disobedient son and still have the gut to speak?” Liu Rumei shouted at him as soon as she heard his voice.
Upon hearing this, Liu Baixiao shrunk his neck, fear building up within him. But for his son’s sake, he clenched his teeth and looked at Liu Rumei.
“Rumei, I… I’m doing this for Yushui’s sake. Only if Qingshui is alright can Yushui marry into the Zhou family, right? If Qingshui is locked in the jail, then Zhou family will…”
“Enough, Father, stop talking.”
Liu Yushui impatiently interrupted Liu Baixiao’s words. She was worried about her elder brother, and couldn’t believe such a clueless person could get tricked that easily. How could she have a brother like that?
“Mother, don’t scold Father anymore. This isn’t his fault.”
“Yu’er, what do you think we should do about this?” Liu Rumei stopped bullying Liu Baixiao and instead turned to ask her daughter.
“Mother, I think we should…”
Liu Yushui considered for a moment and then whispered into Liu Rumei’s ear.
Liu Rumei was taken aback by her daughter’s plan, but it was Liu Baixiao who yelled out in surprise.
“Yushui, this plan is unacceptable. Lin Changfeng is your cousin, we can’t harm him.”
To his surprise, Liu Yushui’s plan was to make Lin Changfeng take Liu Qingshui’s place and take the blame.
“What’s wrong with that?”
Liu Yushui didn’t think there was anything wrong with this idea. As long as she wasn’t implicated, she didn’t concern herself with what happened to others.
“Lin Changfeng and our elder brother are about the same age, and they look somewhat alike too. The pharmacist in the pharmacy has only seen our elder brother once, he must have forgotten what he looks like by now. If we were to clarify at this point that the person is actually Lin Changfeng, who would know that the person is our elder brother?”
“Yes, yes, you’re right, Yu’er.”
Liu Rumei’s was enlightened by her daughter’s words.
She had never been fond of her nephew Lin Changfeng. Moreover, Changfeng never saw eye to eye with the Liu family. After their plot against Lin Caisang last time, they must have infuriated him by now.
And now, Lin Changfeng had become a scholar. If he were to pass the examination for the provincial first-degree scholar, wouldn’t that be the end of their Liu family?
Instead of waiting for Lin Changfeng to pass the examination, why not take this chance to target him, send him to the county jail, and rescue their son from the case, killing two birds with one stone.
“But Changfeng has been staying in Ya Village lately and hasn’t left. We can’t pin this on him.” Liu Baixiao’s face hinted at his hesitation about the plan.
“So what? Lin Changfeng is a scholar who stays in his room all day studying, who can be sure if he hasn’t left the village? Who can testify for him?” Liu Yushui seemed quite pleased with her idea.
This time, she intended not only to dissociate herself from this case but also to remove the thorn in her side, Lin Changfeng, from Zhou Liang’s sight.
Liu Baixiao hesitated.
Though he also felt Liu Yushui was right to some extent, Lin Changfeng was indeed the best choice to save his son, something still didn’t feel right to him.
“What are you stammering about?”
Liu Rumei saw his hesitation and yelled at him hands on hips.
“Let me tell you, Liu Baixiao, you’re eating our family’s food now, and you should take the Liu family’s interests to heart!”
