"Is not the human heart always ?" Lin Changfeng retorted with a question of his own.
Now that Brother Molian is not in the village, and Sangsang has Manghuang Mountain on her side, constantly harvesting wild fruits from the mountain, everyone believes that the Lin Family must be making a lot of silver on the outside.
Everyone harbors jealousy, and he is no exception.
"Mother, let me tell you, just put your mind at ease, stop concerning yourself with external affairs. Right now, the most important thing is for you to take care of your health. If you keep worrying and Sangsang comes to know it, she will just blame herself, won’t she?"
He advised his own dear mother.
"Besides, is Sangsang the kind of person who suffers losses? I think she must have already figured out a way to deal with the Zhou family," he added.
Behind them, in the courtyard, Lin Caisang, who had just stepped out of her room, had yet to leave the house and overheard her Brother Changfeng praising her so; she couldn’t help but slightly lift the corners of her mouth.
Right, was she the kind of person who would suffer losses?
If the Zhou family still aimed to target her and wanted to ruin her family when they failed to achieve their goals, then she would... just ruin the Zhou family instead.
Turning around, she went next door to Ya Molian’s house.
Not long after Lin Caisang entered Ya Molian’s hall, Nangong Piao’er arrived.
She presented the Death Exemption Token with both hands. After Lin Caisang took it, Nangong Piao’er then stood up straight and looked at Lin Caisang.
"The governor turned out to be quite sensible. Seeing the token, he did not dare to say a word, immediately ejected Madam Zhou, who had gone to the governor’s mansion hoping to use his influence to target your cousin, out of the residence and assured me that he would definitely not disclose the matter of the token to anyone."
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang did not speak but merely curled her lips.
The token in her hand was a Death Exemption Token, which, when presented, could silence someone like the governor who had not seen the emperor’s face for many years. Could he dare to say no?
If he truly dared, he must be unafraid of death, completely indifferent as to whether his head would remain on his shoulders or not.
"However, Madam, Madam Zhou has not given up on dealing with your cousin Lin Changfeng. Together with the Ninth Miss of the governor’s mansion, they plan to hire thugs to... to kill him on his way to Yejun,"
said Nangong Piao’er, who couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, secretly thinking that such a woman was wasted on the Zhou family. If she could be brought into the imperial harem, there would undoubtedly be one fascinating drama after another.
Hearing this, Lin Caisang’s beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Is there such a thing?"
Was that Madam Zhou really seeking death?
The one from the governor’s mansion really is a handful.
No wonder the governor was anxious to marry off such a daughter; otherwise, kept at her father’s side, who could ensure she wouldn’t one day consume the governor down to not even a bone left?
On this point, Nangong Piao’er also heartily agreed—the Ninth Miss from the governor’s mansion was definitely troublesome.
"There’s another matter. Although Miss Nine of the governor’s mansion was persuaded by Madam Zhou, the persuasion wasn’t quite what it seemed; she has no intention of targeting Lin Changfeng but rather..."
Lin Caisang, hearing the ambiguous tone in Nangong Piao’er’s voice, asked out loud.
"Perhaps because Madam Zhou praised your cousin too highly in front of Miss Nine, she now has the idea of dumping Zhou Liang. If your cousin indeed passes the imperial examination, then... then she wants her father to make a move and invite your cousin into the governor’s mansion as a son-in-law,"
Nangong Piao’er explained.
