Lin Caisang laughed coldly twice, her eyes full of frost, as she looked at Clan Chief Ya.
"Clan Chief Ya, you sure play a good game."
At this moment, Clan Chief Ya wanted to die. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
He had been planning to wait for some time, let the matter between Lin Caisang and Zhou Liang, as well as the matter of Lin Caisang being deceived into being sold, to fade a bit. Then, he would find a matchmaker to propose a marriage to the Lin Family.
Furthermore, when Lin Caisang was initially buried alive, he was the most eager one. Even considering the kindness from the past, he believed that Lin Laogeng would not refuse this marriage proposal.
As for Lin Caisang herself, she was just a young girl; all he had to do was have his grandson flatter her a bit.
Of course, once Lin Caisang married into his family, naturally, they could do whatever they wanted. Just casually mentioning the two incidents of her being married off and being divorced, would be enough to humble Lin Caisang in their household.
But this was just his inward thought and he hadn’t made it apparent yet.
"Clan Chief Ya, you’re not going to say that you weren’t behind these words, are you?" Lin Caisang asked, looking at Clan Chief Ya.
"Well... Sangsang, Yu Ju was just making casual remarks, you can’t take her seriously." Clan Chief Ya could not admit it. If he did, even as the Clan Chief, his life in Ya Village would likely be very hard from that point forward.
After all, Lin Caisang’s reputation in Ya Village was very good. Aside from a small number of people who were jealous and partook in slander, most people saw Lin Caisang as a close family member.
"I can’t take her seriously?"
Lin Caisang slightly hooked her red lips, glanced at Ya Yuju, and then turned her gaze back at Clan Chief Ya.
"Even though your granddaughter has a bad temper and isn’t liked by others, she rarely lies. If she could express these thoughts today, it must be because you, as her grandfather, have repeatedly said such things in her presence, right? Otherwise, why would she have such a deep impression of these words?
I really didn’t know that Clan Chief Ya could have such malicious thoughts. Do you want me to be a slave in your house? Or is it that all of you from the Ya Clan have such bad intentions towards me?"
She pointed her finger at the individuals behind Clan Chief Ya, hinting at an accusation.
A couple of the young men took a sharp intake of breath when they heard her words.
Though they too once had such an idea like Clan Chief Ya, they simply didn’t have the courage to do it. Moreover, they could never come up with such a malicious plan like the one Clan Chief Ya had plotted.
Even if they truly married Lin Caisang, they would definitely treat her well.
"Sangsang, don’t overthink it, we really don’t have such intentions." A young man couldn’t help but explain hastily.
If Lin Caisang were to misunderstand them, their prospects of planting two seasons of rice next year would be ruined. Moreover, it would mean that the whole Ya Clan wouldn’t even have the fortune to plant two seasons of rice.
"Exactly, Sangsang, it’s just Clan Chief Ya’s personal idea, it has nothing to do with us. We were just called over by the Chief to come and watch. He didn’t ask us to do anything."
Compared to Clan Chief Ya, they naturally sided with Lin Caisang. Who didn’t want the benefits that Lin Caisang could bring, which Clan Chief Ya couldn’t do?
Whoever could bring them food and warmth was their kin. The present Clan Chief Ya, on the other hand, was trying to lead them to their dooms. If they didn’t stand up now to voice their thoughts, what would become of them?
