?Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Thinking About (5)_1 Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Thinking About (5)_1 “What does your mother have to do with me? I have chores to do, Scholar Tongsheng. I need to bring food to my family. Could you please step aside?” When Lin Zige saw his self-righteous face, anger welled up in her heart.
How could she have not realized how thick-skinned this scoundrel was before?
Actually dared to obscurely remark about his mother? Ma Zhicai was immediately outraged, “Lin Zige, you are a young lady. Avoid using offensive language indiscriminately. It reflects poorly on your upbringing.”
“Who do you think you are to admonish me?” This made Lin Zige even more furious. She had just gone out to deliver food and was inexplicably stopped by this bastard. She had no idea what he was trying to achieve. “If you want to talk about lack of manners, I think you wouldn’t have learned any better growing up with your parents. I even doubt if anything you learned in school has become beneficial or simply been fed to dogs.”
“Lin Zige, don’t be so impertinent.” Ma Zhicai hated it when people looked down upon his status as a scholar. Lin Zige had hit his sore spot.
“Why? Want to fight?” Lin Zige sneered at him.
“Miss, shall I go find someone to teach him a lesson?” A servant from the Li Family asked. Although they were unclear about the man’s purpose, they had grown impatient with the scenes he’d been creating. If it had not been for their status constraints that prevented them from speaking freely, they would have taught this youngster a lesson already.
“Forget it, we shouldn’t stoop so low as to bite a dog that’s bitten us,” Lin Zige sneered and held them back. “Let’s go.”
“Feisty Lin Zige.” Hearing her comparing him to a dog, Ma Zhicai was so angry that he nearly passed out.
“Yes, Miss.” A few women deliberately bumped into Ma Zhicai with the baskets in their hands as they passed him, forcing him to retreat, nearly tripping and falling in the process.
“Avoid this kind of mongrel if we encounter him in the future.” Not far away, Lin Zige casually gave instructions to her servants, words successfully drifting into Ma Zhicai’s ears.
Lin Zige, wait until you become mine, I’ll make you pay. Ma Zhicai stared at their receding figures and thought angrily.
After today’s incident though, he concluded that Lin Zige had indeed moved on. There wasn’t the slightest affection left for him anymore.
Such a fickle woman! Ma Zhicai cursed under his breath.
No matter what, he needed to establish a connection with the Lin Family. Once aligned with the Lin family, not only would he secure funding for his education, but he could also escalate his relationship with the Prince further. To put it simply, there were enormous advantages to having an alliance with the Lin Family.
Since there was a chance to benefit, Ma Zhicai was naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.
“How do we pack these medicines?” Not only was the Ma family intent on winning over the Lin Family, but Si Jinhan in Feng City also had the same intentions. “Why not summon the girl to the Tianji Building?”
“Forced unions are never a pleasure,” Chu Suifeng quietly responded.
“Prince, while these small parts may appear simple, assembling them is quite tricky. If these rubber bands are not attached properly, the shooting range will be significantly affected. And how exactly are these small buttons supposed to function?” Within the Tianji Building, a man dressed in black anxiously said, “How about we invite the expert who designed the blueprints to explain in detail?”
“Prince, I offer the same opinion.” Another middle-aged man stepped forward to corroborate, bowing ceremoniously.
The Tianji Building was no stranger to master craftsmen; they were all Chu Suifeng’s trusted subordinates. Some of them came from the rivers and lakes, some from the civilian population, each with their own unique skills and superior martial arts abilities.
The blueprints that the Prince had brought back this time had sparked an uproar among the people of the Tianji Building. This was because the design depicted was of great significance. The device built according to the blueprint could undoubtedly offer extra security to Feng City.
