Chapter 2543: Chapter 2543: Itâs All Too Late
The other members of the An family also came to their senses during his questioning and turned to look at the dazed An Que.
âQueâer, quickly tell us, have you really offended someone? You are a scholar and donât have to kneel before officials, how could your status be suddenly revoked?â
Old Lady An was anxious too; this was more serious than burning books or returning the land deed.
When she first heard the words of the government official, she was so taken aback that she sat straight down on the ground and hasnât gotten back up since.
She was sitting on the ground as she questioned her grandson.
âWhat right do they have to revoke your scholar status? You earned that title through genuine talent and knowledge; even the County Magistrate wouldnât be able to do this. You havenât done anything wrong!â
She couldnât understand what had gone wrong with their family, how it all suddenly turned out like this.
Her most prideful grandson, the one with great talent, how could he suddenly no longer be a scholar? Moreover, the official said that her treasured grandson could no longer pursue the path of imperial exams in the future.
Isnât this a grave injustice? What is her dear Queâer supposed to do in the future!
An Que: ââŠâ
If at this point he still couldnât understand what was going on, then he truly wasted all those years of studying.
He hadnât done anything wrong, even if he did receive a bit more grain, it was given willingly, it wasnât like he held a knife to anyoneâs throat and robbed them.
However, he absolutely shouldnât, under any circumstances, have coveted a Princess of the Third Rank.
Surely that must be it, he figured it out; from the news that he had to return the land deed to the village, to his books being burned last night, and today his scholar status being stripped. It must be related to the returning Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang.
Even the issue with that dead pig last night, he suspects it has something to do with Prince An Yang and Prince Zhan.
No wonder she was only interested in a fleeting affair with him and didnât consider him as a prospective scholar-in-law. It must have been intentional, perhaps there are more tricks to come.
This part was indeed overthinking by An Que.
She didnât want him as a son-in-law because he revealed himself as a scholar. Originally, the chubby girl quite fancied An Que, but she was worldly-wise.
A scholar, if nurtured further, could potentially become an official.
Having a son-in-law who might become an official sounds good, the chubby girlâs family is in business, and they have plenty of money. But she knows exactly what her own status is.
Besides, this son-in-law was drugged and coerced into the situation; what if he really became a high-ranking official and retaliated against his wifeâs family in the future?
Therefore, seeing that An Que has a decent face, having a child to inherit the family business would suffice, really nothing else is needed. Those with money arenât afraid they canât find a suitable âfoolâ to act as husband and father to the chubby girlâs children.
âHuff!â
He stood with one hand on his waist, gazing at the somewhat dim sky.
Just because of a single thought, he ruined his future; he truly feels resentful. If he had known earlier, he should have acted sooner to make An Jiuyue his woman.
If he had acted sooner, even with the return of Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang, once the deed is done, what could they possibly do?
At that time, he would have been Prince Zhanâs brother-in-law!
Unfortunately, everything is too late now.
