"Hall Master, this... If that person, the leader of Jianxin Hall, is killed, I’m afraid there won’t be anyone to take over for a while. Otherwise..."
"Acting on your own, you deserve to die!"
Ya Molian did not give him the chance to speak and said directly.
"Do you wish to question my decision?"
Zhe Jue and the other two wanted to say something else, but they were shocked into silence by Ya Molian’s icy gaze and immediately lowered their heads.
"It is not yet the right time to deal with Suyang," Ya Molian said.
"Moreover, Jianxin Hall is only responsible for gathering intelligence. Since when do they decide when to kill? If they don’t know their own responsibilities, what’s the use of keeping them around?"
"You’re right, Hall Master," Jiang Zuo answered.
Although he still didn’t understand why his hall master had suddenly developed the urge to kill her subordinates?
"Zhe Jue, get all the latest news from the National Teacher’s residence, especially about that physician," Ya Molian instructed.
After thinking for a moment, she added.
"That physician must not be harmed!"
"Yes, Hall Master," Zhe Jue replied.
The next day, in the Lin Family of Ya Village.
The few clan elders, Clan Chief Lin, and Land Officer Uncle Jin were all invited to Lin Caisang’s home to sit down together and discuss how to finish digging the pond in winter so that they can store enough water next year.
Soon, there was some commotion outside.
Since Lin Changhong did not mention any special event happening today when he went to invite them, the Clan Chief Lin and the rest, hearing the movement outside, stood up and looked outside the hall.
They saw Madam Zhou entering the yard with a smile all over her face, dressed in fancy clothes, and, to their surprise, Elder Mr. Zhou was following behind her.
This took the leading Lin Caisang by surprise.
Do the people of the Zhou family have no shame at all? She thought at least Elder Mr. Zhou would have some decency, but as it turned out, he was also shameless, daring to come to the door without any sense of embarrassment.
"Oh, so many people are here. Look, Dad, it seems the Lin Family really is giving us a lot of face," said Madam Zhou, her smile blooming as if she thought all these people had come out to welcome their Zhou family.
"Where is Lin Caisang? Where is she? Come on, Aunt Lin, we are here to propose marriage. Call your granddaughter out quickly. You can’t refuse to even meet us, can you?"
Of course, she wouldn’t let her son come to the Lin Family. These days, her son was studying hard at home.
It was not just Clan Chief Lin and the land officer— even the other clan elders cried out in shock.
"Lin Laogeng, what’s going on? How did these people from the Zhou family come here?" Clan Chief Lin asked, looking towards Lin Laogeng on the other side of the yard, his tone stern.
After the incident of Lin Caisang breaking off the engagement and then Liu Yushui’s premarital pregnancy, followed by the birth of a pair of daughters, wasn’t there anyone in their village who didn’t hate the Zhou family?
Now what is this family thinking, coming over to propose marriage again?
Were they out of their minds?
"I don’t know either. The people from the Zhou family must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, or perhaps, they came to the wrong door," Lin Laogeng said, his face cold, showing not the slightest warmth to the Zhou family.
"Lin Laogeng, you..."
Having heard Lin Laogeng’s words, Elder Mr. Zhou was so angered he nearly fainted.
"What’s the matter, hadn’t you notified them beforehand?" he asked his daughter-in-law in a lowered voice.
