686 Conspiracy
The four great families gathered again. The leader was the Zhang family.
“The people we sent to investigate have found out that Lin yuelan is actually a farmer’s daughter from a small mountain village in An Ding County. Moreover, this farmer’s daughter is a jinx to her husband and family. She’s just a jinx who’s been chased out of the house by her biological parents and cut off all ties with her family.”
Thinking of the results of the investigation, the people of the four families were so angry that they almost spat out blood.
They were angry because they had been deceived.
They thought Lin yuelan was the child of a rich family or Zhou Changsheng’s illegitimate daughter. No matter what her identity was, they felt that it was necessary to be on good terms with her for Zhou Changsheng’s sake.
Therefore, after Zhou Changsheng accepted the invitation, they all went to the restaurant. One, it was because of Zhou Changsheng, and two, it was to find out the identity of the owner of the restaurant.
The result was ridiculous. From the beginning to the end, Lin yuelan, who had fooled them, was a peasant girl with a low status. She was a lowly commoner and a jinx.
When they thought about how they had interacted with such a person before, the four family heads immediately felt humiliated and annoyed.
What made them even more embarrassed was that they actually had the thought of currying favor with her and even accepted something from a jinx.
They felt that they had been deceived by the farmer girl Lin yuelan and Zhou Changsheng, which caused them to have such a misunderstanding.
These people were really laughable.
They were the ones who had a prejudice against Lin Yuelan. At the end, when the investigation was completed, they blamed Lin yuelan and the others for not revealing their identities as farmers from the beginning.
“Detestable!”
The people from the four great families all shouted angrily.
“Brother Zhang, I think we need to teach that jinx a lesson, Hmph!”
Being played around by a lowly farmer’s daughter, if they didn’t vent their anger, they wouldn’t feel comfortable.
“I agree with brother Lu’s words,” The patriarch of the Huang family immediately chimed in.
They were one of the big powers in Zhou Shan city, yet they actually accepted the invitation of a lowly commoner. If word got out, they would lose face.
“However, this brat’s relationship with Zhou Changsheng is obviously not ordinary. If we were to teach that stinky girl a lesson, would Zhou Changsheng just sit back and do nothing?”
Hearing Master Li’s words, the other three all fell silent.
Indeed, if Zhou Changsheng had not dealt with the bandits, the four families might not have cared about him at all. After all, he had just arrived. Even if he was the head of the city’s hundreds of officials, he still had to please the four families. After all, the four families were the power of Zhou Shan city. Only then could he have the right to speak in Zhou Shan city.
However, Zhou Changsheng’s luck was really heaven-defying.
Not long after he arrived at Zhou Shan city, the bandits actually turned themselves in, causing Zhou Changsheng to gain all the credit for nothing. The Emperor even praised him for his conduct.
With this imperial edict, no matter if it was the civil and military officials, or the high officials and nobles, they all understood that Zhou Changsheng was on the emperor’s side and he had made many contributions.
In other words, Zhou Changsheng’s backing was the Emperor.
They wouldn’t provoke the emperor.
It was because of this that the four families of Zhou Shan city were wary of Zhou Changsheng.
“From the investigation, Zhou Changsheng and that brat have a very good relationship. However, it’s just a cooperation of interests driven by money.
“If we give Zhou Changsheng enough money, do you think he will still care about that brat?” Lu family head said.
Hearing the Lu family head’s words, the other three lowered their heads in thought.
“I think brother Lu’s idea is feasible.” Family head Huang added, ” I heard that Zhou Changsheng’s son gets a share of the profits from the restaurant in An Ding County. That’s why Zhou Changsheng is the backer of the restaurant.
“However, the restaurant in Zhou Shan city was only owned by that brat. It had nothing to do with Zhou Changsheng and his son.
“We have all seen how well the restaurant is doing. If we say a few more words and make Zhou Changsheng feel that the girl is giving him too little benefits, then it won’t be too late for us to make a move, right?”
