816 Negotiating Terms with Governor Zhou
Because Fortune Inn was closed during this period and refused to let guests eat or stay, Zhou Xingfa could only wait in front of the inn.
“Old Master Zhou, my master doesn’t have time to see you. Please go back!” Lin Qingsong said to Zhou Xingfa with a cold expression.
Zhou Xingfa’s greed almost cost his master’s life. As Lin yuelan’s guard, how could he not know that?
Therefore, Lin Qingsong did not have a good impression of Zhou Xingfa.
Zhou Xingfa’s expression of anticipation immediately froze, but soon after, he shouted at Lin Qingsong angrily, “Do you know who I am? I’m Lin Deshan’s good friend, and your master has to call me ‘Grandpa Zhou’ every time she sees me. Did you not tell her that I, Zhou Xingfa, am here to see her?”
Zhou Xingfa actually didn’t have much confidence when he said this.
That day, Lin yuelan casually brought up the evil deeds he had done to harm Lin Deshan. It was clear that she had not taken into account the fact that Zhou Xingfa was lindeshan’s good friend and brother.
It could even be said that the fallout between him and Lin deshan was caused by Lin yuelan.
He had already expected that Lin yuelan would not want to see him, but he was still unwilling to lose a connection like Lin yuelan. Especially when he learned that so many precious herbs had appeared in Lin’s medicine hall, it made him feel that he had to repair his relationship with Lin deshan. Otherwise, he would suffer a great loss.
However, Lin Deshan had already left, so he could only turn his attention to Lin yuelan.
This time, he didn’t dare to directly blame Lin yuelan for being disrespectful to her elders, so he could only point his anger at the guards.
Zhou Xingfa continued, ” you dog slave, did you report this to your master? ”
Lin Qingsong’s eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at this self-righteous Zhou Xingfa. He said coldly, “Old master Zhou, my master asked me to pass on a message: Don’t think that you can hide what you’ve done. She’s not taking it to heart now because of your decades of friendship with grandfather. If you dare to call yourself grandfather’s friend again, then what happened to the Zeng family yesterday will be the same as what happened to the Zhou family tomorrow!”
After speaking, Lin Qingsong no longer paid any attention to Zhou Xingfa, who was shocked, confused, angry, and helpless.
Zhou Xingfa immediately felt insulted by a junior.
Just as he was about to rush into Fortune Inn in anger, he immediately thought of that sentence: What happened to the Zeng family yesterday would happen to the Zhou family tomorrow. He panicked and immediately stopped in his tracks.
It was because he had a guilty conscience!
Previously, the reason why Lin deshan was willing to help him was that he had saved his life 20 years ago.
But if Lin Deshan knew the truth from 20 years ago…
Thinking about it, Zhou Xingfa immediately broke out in cold sweat.
Then, he said to his men, ” let’s go!”
When li Fazhi came out of the inn, he saw Zhou Xingfa’s back as he ran away. He frowned.
He’d heard about the relationship between Lin Deshan and Zhou Xingfa, but why did they just turn against each other?
Of course, this was none of his business, and he did not take it to heart.
However, the news of Zhou Xingfa being rejected by the young master of Lin’s medicine hall immediately spread throughout Qingfeng city.
This further confirmed the fact that Lin Deshan and Zhou Xingfa had fallen out.
Of course, when this matter reached Lin yuelan’s ears, she only laughed it off.
…
On the third day, Lin yuelan finally arrived at the governor’s mansion.
This time, Lin yuelan’s arrival was warmly received by the governor’s mansion.
After receiving Lin yuelan’s message that she would be coming today, housekeeper Zhou ordered the servants to clean up the house early in the morning. He then ordered the kitchen staff to buy ingredients and prepare a feast to welcome Lin yuelan’s arrival.
“Young miss Lin.” Butler Zhou, who was at the door, immediately came forward and greeted Lin yuelan with great respect. “thank you for your hard work. Please come in!”
Lin yuelan only nodded her head slightly. Then, she entered the Zhou mansion with two guards and two servant girls.
When they entered the manor, housekeeper Zhou immediately asked the servants to serve tea and said, “Young miss Lin, please wait for a moment. This old servant will immediately invite my old master out!”
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” yes, there’s no need for that. Please lead the way, Butler. I’ll go and greet the governor personally.”
