The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 162 - 162 162 Nothing to do with Zhou Family

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Nothing to do with Zhou Family? Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Nothing to do with Zhou Family? If this matter was not handled well, it was very likely that their Lin Family would be implicated too!

“How could this happen?”

As far as she knew, Liu Qingshui was just a small businessman who had learned to trade from his family in a proper manner. Moreover, he was not that old, even his business activities were conducted under the supervision of the Liu Family. How could such a person get involved in a murder lawsuit?

She couldn’t understand it.

“Sang, don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with the Lin Family.”

Ya Molian brought over a plate of pastries, seeing that Lin Caisang’s brows were deeply furrowed, he placed the pastries in front of her, and comforted her softly.

“How can I not worry? The Liu Family is a business family. Because they are not surnamed Lin, they have spared Brother Changfeng many troubles. Now, they are encountering such a situation, and it is very likely that the innocent may suffer as well!”

The so-called scholar, farmer, artisan, and merchant, even if the merchant has the most money, he still ranked at the bottom. Lin Changfeng is a scholar, who is going to take the imperial examinations this year. Having a relative like the Liu Family, who do business, is really difficult to handle.

Otherwise, Liu Qingshui would not give up studying and opt for business because those with a commercial status were forbidden to take the imperial examination.

The Lin Family was of farming status, fortunately, Lin Baiyi and Liu Baixiao were merely brothers, and had separated their families long ago. This was how the two families were distinguished. Otherwise, Lin Changfeng wouldn’t even think about taking the imperial examination.

“Brother Molian, how did Liu Qingshui get involved in the murder case?” she asked.

“It’s his bad luck.”

Ya Molian shook his head, picked up a soft and tender pastry, and passed it to her.

“Eat one first.”

“Stop messing around, just tell me.”

Lin Caisang put the pastry back down and looked at him.

At this moment, she had no appetite for anything, she just wanted to know what happened to Liu Qingshui and ensure that this matter would not involve their Lin Family in any way.

“If you don’t say it, I can go and find out by myself.”

“You, why are you so impatient?”

Ya Molian had no choice but to sit next to her.

“Liu Qingshui caused trouble while trying to help. He had good intentions and when he saw someone collapsed on the ground, he sent him to the pharmacy. Who would have known that as soon as he entered the pharmacy, before he could see the doctor, that person had stopped breathing. Now he’s being accused by that person’s family, saying that he caused that person’s death.”

“Such a coincidence?” Lin Caisang furrowed her brows.

Why does this matter seem to have no connection with the Zhou Family? But why didn’t she believe it?

“No involvement of the Zhou Family?”

“Heh.”

Ya Molian chuckled softly.

“Of course, there is.”

“In what way?” she asked.

“Madam Zhou bribed the doctor at the pharmacy, insisting that a patient who died of his own illness was delayed by Liu Qingshui causing his death. Although it seems like a trivial matter, the implications are vastly different.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang’s eyes flickered, and she nodded.

As a doctor, she knew that a doctor’s words could easily cost a patient’s life. Naturally, it would be very easy to fabricate something out of a patient’s case.

“So no matter how much Liu Qingshui tries to clear his name, it’s useless, right?” she asked.

“The family was originally just trying to extort some money from the Liu Family, given that they are businessmen and could afford to lose some. But now it’s not the same, this matter has been reported to the government office by Madam Zhou’s secret agents. Liu Qingshui was originally to be detained in jail, but Liu Rumei, his mother, couldn’t bear to see her son suffer and knocked him unconscious to hide him.”
