Chapter 2556: Chapter 2556: Keep Your Mouth Shut
Therefore, when An Que insisted on dragging him up there this morning, he was unwilling.
Knowing that there was no one there, why did he have to go up? He was already exhausted yesterday, and now he had to go again today. He was an old man with frail bones, really couldn’t handle it.
“An Que, go back. Things have come to this point. Admitting wrong now won’t do any good. Go back and live your life. With your scholarship, living should still be manageable.”
He advised.
Hearing this, An Que raised his head and looked at the Old Patriarch.
How could he say living would be manageable? The life of a scholar and the life of an ordinary person can’t be put on the same level.
If he had never passed the scholar exams, it would have been fine; life would go on as usual. But he was a scholar before, had lived the life of a scholar, how could he go back to the way things were now?
Moreover, he knew very well that over the past few years, his grandmother and mother had offended everyone in the village whom they shouldn’t have. In the future, in the village, he would be a living target, the kind that anyone could come and take a bite out of.
If he couldn’t turn things around, in the future, he would be even less respected than those ordinary farmers in the village.
“Clan Leader, they should’ve just left not too long ago. If we chase now, we should be able to catch up, right?” Can he still have time to catch up and apologize?
He really knew he was wrong, never should have, never should have, thought he was so remarkable, and dared to have thoughts about the Princess of the Third Rank.
It was his overestimation of his abilities, like a toad wishing to eat swan meat.
Hearing his words, the Old Patriarch’s face turned black, almost cursing aloud.
He was an old man with frail bones, and yet this boy still wanted him to go chase after An Jiuyue and her group?
What sort of people are they, they’re young! Is he, an old man, capable of catching up with them? He’s never seen someone as lacking in eyesight as An Que.
An Jiuyue and they clearly don’t want to see An Que anymore. Why can’t he be a little more self-aware and just not appear in front of them?
“An Que, are you mad?”
The Old Patriarch hadn’t spoken yet, but his son, who had come along and was worried about his father’s wellbeing, came over and glared at An Que unhappily.
“Don’t you know how old my father is? Yet you throw a fit yourself and still want my father to follow along with you?”
He’s never met someone like this, who, after offending people, still wants his father, the Clan Leader, to clean up his mess, as if they owed him something.
“Enough, say less.”
The Old Patriarch took a deep look at his son.
But the Old Patriarch’s son was indifferent, not feeling he had said anything wrong.
“Did I say anything wrong? He himself made a mistake and was punished by Prince An Yang, yet he still wants to drag you along to apologize. On what grounds?
If you ask me, father, you shouldn’t have come here. Not only do you tire yourself out, but you might not even get a kind word from Prince An Yang!”
As he spoke, he looked even more displeased as he glared at An Que.
It’s true his father is the Clan Leader, but he should just take care of clan matters. For someone like An Que who brings trouble upon himself, there’s no need to bother with him.
What’s more, in his view, Prince An Yang has already been more than generous with An Que’s family.
If anyone dared to have ideas about his sister, even trying to harm her reputation outside, it would depend on whether they could withstand his fists.
Prince An Yang only took away An Que’s scholar status, which was already a lenient punishment. What more could he be dissatisfied with?
