Chapter 984： You can't be saved if you commit suicide!

Chapter 984: You can’t be saved if you commit suicide!

"Isn't this... right?" Dean Zhou couldn't believe it. After all, which slave in the world didn't want to be free again?

What's more, although the Mu family has declined, with Mr. Tang here, as long as Mu Jue is not a rotten tree, it will not be too difficult to pass the examination in the future.

Marry a good wife and have more children, and the Mu family will be able to recover most of its strength in less than twenty years.

He suddenly remembered that the book boy had just said that the canteen had cut off Mr. Tang’s three meals a day, and his heart skipped a beat.

“Brother Tang, you are not angry with the Li family because of Mu Jue, are you having a rift with the Li family?”

Mr. Tang was already angry with the Li family, so he immediately retorted after hearing this, "There is no quarrel between me. It's because people dislike me as an old man. Li Jiaren also left the capital to take up his post. He demolished mills and killed donkeys, and crossed rivers and demolished bridges." That’s all!”

Dean Zhou frowned and advised in a low voice, "Brother Tang, to be fair, the Li family has always acted cautiously and thoughtfully. They would rather suffer a loss than be called ungrateful.

“In the past few years, because Jiaren has learned left-hand calligraphy from you, the Li family not only gives out generous gifts during the New Year, but also takes care of meals with great care on weekdays. I don’t know how many people in this college envy you.

"Is there any misunderstanding like this today? Do you want me to come forward and help make peace?"

Mr. Tang snorted coldly and wanted to say something else, but it was a bit unconscionable, so he could only mutter a few words.

“Of course the Li family was at fault. The fault was that they gave birth to a vixen who took away the spirit of my great-nephew!”

His voice was not loud, but Dean Zhou was very close and he almost heard most of it.

Dean Zhou’s expression changed at that time, remembering that birthday banquet, Mu Jue left with the princess...

“Brother Tang, if you don’t want to create a deadly feud with the Li family, you must never say this again!” Dean Zhou was really anxious and put down the tea bowl heavily.

“Brother Tang, it’s not that you don’t know that what the Li family values ​​most is not the uncle and his brothers, or even Jiaren and the others, but Princess Kangle!

“Given your past kindness in teaching Jiaren how to write, the Li family won’t care too much about anything. But if you touch Princess Kangle, the Li family will definitely fight to the death.

"Don't talk about me then, even the emperor in the palace won't be able to do it. If you talk again, you must have thought about it!"

Mr. Tang looked bad, but he had to admit that what Dean Zhou said was true.

He was silent for a long time and then asked, "Then you tell me, I have to watch Mu Jue like this, guarding a little girl without seeking to make progress. How will I explain to my ancestors when I go under Jiuquan in the future?"

“Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The kid Mu Jue doesn’t look stupid. He must have some plans for the family. Besides, the children and grandchildren of the Li family are very united and support each other. There has never been any conflict or quarrel.

Mu Jue really became the son-in-law of the Li family, it was also his luck!"

Dean Zhou sighed deliberately, with an envious look on his face, and said, "If I have any worthy children or grandchildren, they all want to find out what the Li family is thinking. I didn't expect that your grandnephew would take the lead!"

However, Mr. Tang did not listen to the advice, and replied with a stiff neck, "If you want to fight for it, we Mu Jue will not care. Mu Jue will marry a wife and have concubines in the future, and have more than a dozen children. The Li family has a pretentious rule not to take concubines. , cannot agree at all.

“Besides, the Li family is so powerful that they don’t know how to bully Mu Jue. I don’t agree! As long as I am alive, I cannot let Mu Jue marry a daughter of the Li family!

"The Li family is smart. They sent Mu Jue to the southwest convoy and will come back in two or three months. They are looking at it, and I will accept the marriage by then! Humph, I'm dreaming!"

President Zhou gritted his teeth secretly angrily, he really didn’t want to persuade him anymore.

At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door again, and three or four gentlemen walked in one after another, all of whom often walked around with Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang and Dean Zhou both thought they were visiting the patient, so they quickly seated the guests and hosts in the hall and served tea. Unexpectedly, one of the gentlemen drank tea and asked, "Brother Tang, why did you suddenly invite us all here? Isn't it to discuss your grandnephew's enrollment?"

Another fat old man also smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of him and teach him strictly. Who knows, in five or six years, he will also be a scholar!"

Everyone laughed, but Mr. Tang and Dean Zhou looked confused.

Mr. Tang immediately asked, "Mu Jue sent a letter and has already gone to the southwest. He won't be back for a few months. Didn't I say that I wanted him to enroll in school?"

Several gentlemen were surprised, and one of them said, "No, the person who invited us over just now is your grandnephew."

“Yeah, I won’t admit my mistake!” Another person also agreed.

Mr. Tang was extremely surprised and shouted, "What, this kid is back? Does he really want to go to school?"

Dean Zhou's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he quickly stood up and said, "You guys do it first, I'll go home and be right back."

As a result, before he could go out, Mu Jue had already arrived, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a blue gown.

The man looked a little haggard, and his eyes were black and blue, which showed that he had not slept well last night.

But he has a thin face, dark eyebrows and deep eyes, and he has a very cold and serious temper.

Mu Jue led the middle-aged man into the house, saluted with everyone, and introduced the man behind him, "This is Mr. Su. When we were in Jiangbei, he was a neighbor of our Mu family in the same county. We had many friends in our family before." Moving around, now settled outside Xindu.

“There are many legends in our hometown that Mr. Su is upright and upright in everything. I have something to do today, and I specially asked Mr. Su to make this trip. Of course, I also bother you to be a witness.”

Dean Zhou and other gentlemen hurriedly greeted Mr. Su and asked him to take a seat.

Only Mr. Tang, whose face was pale and his lips were trembling, could not move.

Mu Jue glanced at him and said seriously, "Gentlemen, you also know that our Mu family was killed by barbarians in the north, and I was the only one who survived. Thanks to the Marquis' rescue and the Li family's taking in, we have peace today.

“I was entrusted by the Marquis to serve as a guard for the Li family for three years, both to repay the kindness and to eliminate the hostility in my heart.

“Unexpectedly, at the birthday party the day before yesterday, I met my third uncle who left home a long time ago. Logically speaking, this is a happy event. I also plan to take care of my third uncle filially and move around frequently in the future.

“But the third uncle tried his best to interfere with my repayment and asked me to leave the Li family. I didn’t agree. He went to the Li family in private and uttered evil words, which was very rude.

"I have no choice but to say one thing today. Please ask Third Uncle not to do anything illegal again in the future."

“No, don’t say it!” Mr. Tang’s eyes were full of anger and despair, and he struggled to stop Mu Jue’s mouth.

But Mu Jue showed no mercy and continued, "Back then, my third uncle, despite my grandfather's obstruction, insisted on leaving home and even canceled the marriage that had been promised for many years, which caused a lot of trouble for the family.

“Later, when the family was in trouble, I tried to find him for help, but couldn’t find him. My grandfather was so disappointed that he took the initiative to open an ancestral hall and erased the third uncle’s name from the family tree.

“At that time, the heads of various clans in the county were invited to bear witness, including Mr. Su.”
