Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Hurry and think of a solution for me! Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Hurry and think of a solution for me! “Second Sister, are you dreaming? You want Cousin Changfeng to take the blame for Big Brother, conveniently helping Zhou Liang get rid of this thorn in his side? Do you think the entire world revolves around you, that whatever you say goes, and everyone else must bow down to your will?
The one who considers everyone else a fool is a fool themselves!”
Liu Yushui was left speechless by his retort, stepping back a notch.
That was indeed what she had in mind—sacrificing Lin Changfeng would keep the family safe while eliminating that thorn, ensuring that no one could challenge Brother Liang any longer.
This was a win-win situation.
“Liu Chushui, have you forgotten your surname? You are a Liu!” Her eyes flashed with fiery fury as she challenged him.
How dare he call her a fool, this Liu Chushui!
Liu Chushui snorted coldly, striding past Liu Rumei and Liu Baixiao towards the entrance.
“Mother, do you see how spoiled Third Brother is?” Unable to gain anything from Liu Chushui, Liu Yushui turned to Liu Rumei, complaining to her with a stamp of her foot.
Upon hearing this, even a usually assertive Liu Rumei felt a pang of shame.
Had she been spoiling Liu Chushui? Never! His honest and forthright personality had never pleased her. How could she possibly favor him?
She was always upset whenever she saw this son of hers, usually resorting to hitting or scolding him.
“Alright, why bother with his words? Don’t get angry and upset the baby,” she advised her daughter.
Liu Yushui stamped her foot again, her anger flaring when thinking about the baby she was bearing.
“Now that Big Brother is taken away, what’s the use of the child in my belly? Once the Zhou family hears about this, they will not acknowledge the marriage with our Liu family! Mother, you must think of a solution!”
Of course there was a solution—one that she had already meticulously planned, one she believed that her mother would agree with.
“Alright, alright, I will think of a way.”
Liu Rumei nodded immediately, realizing that her daughter must not be further wronged.
“I will go to the county office right now to rescue your big brother. You go back to your room and rest.”
So the Lin Family refuses to surrender Lin Changfeng? No matter. She had plenty of ways to convince the county official that Lin Changfeng was the culprit. As long as the officials are convinced, not even a hundred mouthfuls from Lin Changfeng will clear his name!
“Liu Baixiao, what are you standing there for? Hurryu and prepare the carriage. Go to the accounts room and withdraw three hundred…no, a thousand taels of silver. I will go to Qianlin County, and you are coming with me.”
Liu Baixiao hastily agreed and hurried off.
He naturally knew what Liu Rumei planned to do: frame Lin Changfeng for the murder. With enough money lavished on the county, this would not be a difficult task.
But he also knew that what Liu Rumei saw as a straightforward matter had now become very complicated.
Because during his trip to Ya Village, the news had already spread far and wide. If the Lin family pulled in a few clan elders from Rock Village to bear witness, Lin Changfeng would be acquitted, and the Liu family might be charged with a false accusation instead.
But he did not dare to voice this out loud to Liu Rumei and could only obey her orders.
