Chapter 2548: How Can They Be So Vicious
"Que’er, hurry, go to the county government and report the case, say our family lost money, that’s a lot of money!"
Upon hearing this, An Que closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.
Report a case? Report what case? What’s the use of them reporting a case? Nowadays, who in the county government doesn’t know that his scholar title has been revoked?
I fear that the news of him offending Prince An Yang has already spread throughout the entire county, hasn’t it?
"Grandmother, we can’t report it to the authorities, they won’t care," he said.
"Why won’t they care? Our home lost money, why wouldn’t the authorities care?"
Old Lady An’s face was full of tears and snot, her old hands tightly holding the clay jar, she turned and glared at her precious grandson.
It’s not just one or two taels that were lost, it was more than a hundred taels, how can the authorities not care? That’s the entirety of their family’s possessions!
"Grandmother, whose pocket did the money end up in, can’t you figure it out?" An Que raised his hand to wipe his face, asking helplessly.
Upon hearing this, everyone except Old Lady An had a flicker in their eyes.
They all dared not enter Old Lady An’s room, so the money couldn’t have been stolen by them, but last night someone did set fire to burn all of An Que’s books.
"It was them, it was indeed them!"
Older An immediately understood, if not the newly returned Prince An Yang’s family, who else could it be?
They are too despicable, burning Que’er’s books is one thing, but they also stole their family’s money, what are they trying to do?
"Who was it?"
Old Lady An still couldn’t figure it out, she asked.
Who stole her money, she wanted to fight them to the death, and even set fire to burn that person’s house down completely, not leaving a thing!
"Who exactly stole my money, who was it?"
Seeing that no one answered her, she continued to ask.
"Mother, don’t you get it? Whoever burned your precious grandson’s books is the one who took the money." Auntie Mei said directly, regardless of whether it would irritate Old Lady An.
"It was..."
Now, Old Lady An understood, but precisely because she understood, she found herself more speechless.
Just earlier, reminded by An Que, she was frightened of An Jiuyue’s family, and now she dared not face An Jiuyue, she was truly at a loss for words, not able to utter a single sentence.
"My money, damn it, how could they be so malicious, that was the money I saved with so much effort!"
Having no other option, she could only clutch her clay jar, sit on the bed, and wail like a child, as if she had lost her parents.
An Que clenched his fists tightly, he never imagined An Jiuyue would be so ruthless, not leaving him any way out, not only was his name as a scholar gone, but also the family’s money.
Yet, ironically, he couldn’t do anything to An Jiuyue, just a word from her could crush him into the ground, he couldn’t afford to offend her.
"Hah, your money, wasn’t it all your precious grandson scraping it from relatives, now it’s gone, it’s what you deserve,"
Auntie Mei snorted coldly, muttering in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Second Elder An tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
Though he was planning to split the family, after all, the person in front of him was his mother, he couldn’t completely fall out with her, he still had to show some courtesy.
