Chapter 2544: Chapter 2544: Since Things Have Come to This, We Can Only Accept It

“Que’er, why don’t you say something, what’s really happening here?” An Que’s mother, seeing him silent, rushed to his front and slapped his chest, loudly questioning.

“Humph.”

Auntie Mei looked at the crowd in the courtyard and sneered.

“Isn’t this clear enough? It’s just some people acting like toads wanting to eat swan meat but couldn’t, and as a result, received their retribution. That’s why people need to have self-awareness.”

“You… what nonsense are you talking about, what retribution? My Que’er hasn’t done anything!” The older An’s daughter-in-law heard Auntie Mei’s words and instantly refused to accept it, turning her head wanting to start a tussle with Auntie Mei.

What self-awareness? Their Que’er is the future top scholar; noticing An Jiuyue is her good fortune. How can it be acting like toads wanting to eat swan meat?

Suddenly, her eyes widened, realizing the situation.

“It was them, wasn’t it? Que’er, it was that little… hmm!”

She wanted to curse An Jiuyue but was suddenly silenced by her son covering her mouth.

“Mom, if you keep talking, it’s not just as simple as losing the name of a scholar; stop saying it!” He lowered his voice, speaking to her.

The older An’s daughter-in-law pressed her lips tightly, her entire face flushed red.

Now, she couldn’t even speak. Who had their family offended? Weren’t they just contemplating An Jiuyue? If she didn’t want it, just say it directly. Why resort to this behind-the-scenes maneuver?

They weren’t forcing An Jiuyue to marry into the family.

“Was it really them?”

Old Lady An also got a hint from the second daughter-in-law’s words, realizing what was happening.

All of this was because of that family on the mountain; they returned and came to deal with her grandson, wasn’t it?

“How could they do this? I’m going to confront them!”

As she spoke, she got up from the ground, ready to rush out the door to settle scores with An Jiuyue and her family.

But how could the rest of the An family let her go out? They stopped her immediately, “Mom, don’t go; that’s Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang. Just a flick of their fingers, and they can wipe out our entire family!”

Older An now understood everything; had it been like this from the start, they shouldn’t have bothered An Jiuyue at all. It was just about finding a daughter-in-law; there are plenty of young and beautiful girls available.

How could they have been so foolish back then, to provoke An Jiuyue? She’s a princess capable of ending their lives with just a flick of a finger.

“Que’er, back then, how could you have thought about aspiring to marry a princess? Is that something we can aspire to?” He shook his head, over and again.

At this moment, An Que regretted too; had he known, he wouldn’t have even glanced at An Jiuyue.

“Now, saying anything more is useless; what’s done is done, we can only accept it.”

He thought, if he didn’t accept, what would await him wasn’t clear yet. Yesterday, when he saw the Chief riding An Jiuyue’s horse carriage, he should have thought of it.

Back then, how could he have thought a woman like An Jiuyue would be so ruthless?

“How can this be? Que’er, you’re a scholar, how can you let them bully you like this?” Old Lady An, hearing her grandson’s words, was naturally unwilling.

Their whole family worked hard to have Que’er pass the scholar exams. It definitely wasn’t easy, so why should An Jiuyue and her family strip Que’er of his scholar status just because they want to?
