Chapter 2549: Chapter 2549: I’m Not Going, I Won’t Go!

Everyone heard Auntie Mei’s words, but they just glanced at her and didn’t say anything.

In the past, when An Que was still a scholar, they could feel that their family was extraordinary, but that’s no longer the case; they have lost the capital to be arrogant.

They were only worried that if the people in the village found out that An Que was no longer a scholar, would they cause trouble for them?

“Why don’t we just leave and go back to our rooms.”

Second Elder An wasn’t interested in standing there any longer. After all, no matter how long they stood there, the money wouldn’t come back. It was better to return to his room and think about what to do next.

If the money was stolen by someone else, they could still report it to the authorities and retrieve the money.

But now…

“Let’s go.”

Auntie Mei didn’t want to stay either, so she took her child and left.

She was clearer than anyone else. Even if the money was found, so what? The money couldn’t belong to their branch anyway; it would just be spent by An Que.

“They… they…”

The Old Lady An saw that the people from the second branch had all left, and became even angrier.

Couldn’t these people see that she was furious and about to faint from heartache? How could they just leave like this? Such unfilial creatures, all worthless scoundrels.

“Unfilial things! How could I have given birth to such ungrateful scum? Something huge has happened in the family, and you’re all leaving. Where do you think you’re going? If you have the guts to leave, then don’t ever show up in front of me again.”

She shouted at the backs of Second Elder An and the others.

“Mom, please stop scolding.”

Older An plopped down on the ground and wiped his face with his hand.

Doesn’t Mom understand? His son’s scholar title is gone, which means their family’s sky has fallen.

And these past years, their family barely did any work and didn’t even know how to farm. They would have to rely on the second brother in the future. This is not the time to anger him.

An Que also frowned, knowing that the situation was dire.

If it was just some bad luck and something had happened, it could still be slowly resolved. But now, they had offended Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang.

If these two really wanted to settle scores with them, they would be finished!

At this moment, he was very regretful; if only he had known… but there was no “if only.” The deed was done, and An Jiuyue’s resentment towards them must be deep.

“Grandmother, let’s not worry about the family’s issues for now. We should go and apologize to Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang. That’s most important.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Old Lady An immediately jumped up.

How could she, an elderly person, apologize to two young people? How could that be possible?

She had lived in the village for so many years, and An Jiuyue used to greet her respectfully as “Grandma.” When did it ever come to her having to apologize to An Jiuyue?

“I won’t go, I’m not going!”

No matter what, she was unwilling to go, partly because she didn’t want to lose face and partly because she was scared.

They hadn’t even met yet, and it had already torn their family apart, with her grandson losing his scholar title. If they really met, wouldn’t they be killed off completely?

“Que’er, you mustn’t go either. If you go and they decide to take action, you won’t even have a chance to escape,” she said, clutching An Que’s arm tightly with her withered hand.
