Chapter 570: Story

County Magistrate Zhou smiled at Lin yuelan and said, ” Miss Lin, you’re really talented!

Lin yuelan chuckled and replied, ” you flatter me, my Lord!”

At this moment, Zhang Xingwang had to re-evaluate the status of this Lin yuelan in front of the Zhou father and son.

However, he was still unwilling to give up.

Scholar Zhang, which he had expelled from the family, was taken in by a little girl with no background. This was a hidden danger that caused him to be in the Zhang family, and he had to get rid of this hidden danger.

Immediately after, Zhang Xingwang first smiled and echoed County Magistrate Zhou, praising, ” not bad. You have such talent at such a young age. It’s really amazing.” Then, the look in his eyes changed, and he asked somewhat unintentionally but sharply, ” I heard that Miss Lin opened Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant? ”

When Lin yuelan was working with Zhou wencai, she didn’t hide anything from anyone. She nodded slightly and said, ” that’s right. I opened it. What’s the matter? Is there a problem?” She asked back with the same sharp aura.

Zhang Xingwang’s expression immediately turned gloomy as he asked again, ” no problem. However, I heard that this restaurant bought a person on the street. Is that true?”

He had specifically used the term ‘bought’ because he didn’t know Lin Yuelan had actually offered Scholar Zhang a working contract.”

Lin yuelan nodded expressionlessly and replied, ” that’s true. I have indeed hired a poor scholar who wanted to sell his body to bury his father. I wonder if old master Zhang has any opinions?” Since Zhang Xingwang wanted to feign ignorance, she would also follow suit.

Zhang Xingwang immediately ignored County Magistrate Zhou’s presence and said sternly, ” do you know who the person you bought was? ”

Lin yuelan replied sternly, ” it doesn’t matter who he is anymore. What’s important is that he’s working for me now.”

When Zhang Xingwang heard Lin yuelan’s words, his anger instantly became apparent, and he shouted loudly, ” the person you bought is my Zhang family’s direct descendant, Zhang Yuanbin. He’s the eldest son and grandson of the Zhang family’s direct descendant. How can he be a servant? If you know what’s good for you, quickly undo his indenture. My Zhang family will forgive your ignorance.”

Zhang Xingwang had probably forgotten that he was ordering Lin yuelan in front of County Magistrate Zhou and Zhou wencai. Was he trying to show Lin yuelan his authority as one of the three great clans?

County Magistrate Zhou and Zhou Wencai’s expressions were extremely unsightly at this moment.

They wouldn’t care about the internal strife, power struggles, and schemes of the Zhang family. After all, it was an internal matter of the Zhang family.

However, Zhang Xingwang flew into a rage in front of their guests. He was not giving them any face.

The father and son’s faces were dark and gloomy, and their eyes were also staring sharply at Zhang Xingwang as if they were warning him.

Hearing Zhang Xingwang’s forceful words, Lin yuelan sneered twice in a low voice and said with a mocking expression, ” old master Zhang, I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do anything like that.

“When I first hired this person, he was poor and couldn’t bury his dead father. He chose to sell his body to bury his father, and I only helped a filial son.

“I’ve heard that the Zhang family is one of the three big families in anding County. It must be a rich and powerful family. Does such a family really need a direct descendant to sell his body to bury his father? Wouldn’t that be a joke? So, old master Zhang, are you mistaken? Oh, right.”

At this point, Lin yuelan seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise, ” I remember. When I first arrived in the county town a few days ago, I heard a story about a family who secretly harmed their own brothers for the position of the family head.

“In the end, after his brother had just passed away and his body was still warm, the elders of the family worked together to exterminate his only son, his nephew, who was a scholar, from the family. They couldn’t wait to kick him out of the family. He had no choice but to sell himself to earn money for his father’s burial.

“I wonder if such a cold and ruthless family battle were true or false. Old master Zhang, since you’re one of the great clans in An Ding County, your information must be more accurate and well-informed than an outsider like me. Why don’t you tell me if this story is true or not?”
