nd pen! We all need to think about how to handle this. Don't leave anything out, so we don't get cheated on the way."Grandma Li instructed her son, and Li Lao Er immediately took paper and pen. The c...Mr. Tang had drunk some hangover soup, and at this moment, he didn't feel any drunkenness at all.

He held back his anger, but still patiently asked, “Xiuge, do you know what you're saying The Mu family is now extinct, with only this old man and you left.” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"If I were able to marry and have children, I wouldn't need to pressure you at all.

But I am over half a century old, my health is failing, and who knows which day I will pass away. The Mu family's revival and prosperity can only fall on you.

"Think of your deceased grandparents and uncles, how could you say such selfish words!"

Mu Xu remained unmoved, stating solemnly, "Third Uncle, I was raised by my grandmother and parents. They never forced me to study or take an official position, nor did they pressure me to bring honor to the family. They only wished for me to grow up happily and live freely."

Later when the Manchus captured the city, they desperately protected me, wanting me to survive. If they knew about this now, they definitely wouldn't want me to live a life of compromise!

"No!" Mr. Tang exclaimed urgently, pleading with her earnestly, "Since you know you were alive only because the whole family sacrificed themselves for you, you should strive even harder to support them!

"Uncle Grandfather wasn't trying to harm you. He just wants you to marry a dignified and virtuous woman who can wholeheartedly help you support the Mu family and start a family."

"In twenty years, our Mu family will be restored to its former glory!"

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, Mu Xu just shook his head and refused to compromise.

Finally, Mr. Tang, driven to fury, lost his composure and blurted out.

"Back then, I left home to travel the world because of a woman from the martial arts world. I thought I had found my soulmate, but in the end, we parted ways. All women are the same; they're not worth a man wasting his time and future on! "

"If I had listened to my family back then and married a good wife, I would have grandchildren all over by now. I wouldn't be begging you, this unworthy descendant, for help!"

Mu Xu adjusted his sleeves, a hint of surprise in his voice as he asked, "I suppose your granduncle was quite fond of that woman back then Since he liked her, regardless of the outcome, it must have been a rare and memorable experience in life."

"Why does Uncle insist on results, only to end up ruining all women with a single blow

"

"Besides, the county princess is intelligent and virtuous, filial and well-behaved. She comes from a noble family. How can Uncle Grandfather think she wouldn't be a good wife, capable of sharing the responsibility of supporting the Mu family with me

"

"My heart is moved now, but I have no certainty that the Li family would be willing to part with their beloved daughter and allow her to marry me. Uncle should be helping me, why is he obstructing me like this"

"You... you're going to drive me crazy!" Mr. Tang slammed his fist on the table. Seeing that Mu Xu wasn't afraid, and even had a smug look on his face, he became even angrier.

"How could you fall for Lady Kang Le That girl has been spoiled rotten by the Li family and the Marquis since she was a child. Even though she learned proper etiquette, she's still not someone who can handle hardship or injustice!

"

"How could you possibly start a business together, build our lives from scratch! And besides, you're high-born and she's marrying down. You would be under her thumb for your entire life!"

The Li family has a rule against taking concubines! Our Mu family only has you left, so after you marry, you should take many concubines and have many children to continue the family line!

The Li family is powerful. Are you willing to spend your life hearing people say you rely on your father-in-law to survive You must listen to me! Even if you marry a fallen noblewoman, as long as she is generous and virtuous, it will be better than that spoiled little princess from the Li family!

Mu Xu heard this, his face turned cold, and he directly stood up and said, “Uncle Third, you can say I’m not good, but don’t be disrespectful to Princess Kangle! Not even mentioning our betrothal, which hasn't been officially set yet, even if it had, you can't speak to her like that!”

"When my parents and clansmen were slaughtered like cattle by the barbarians, it was the Marquis who avenged me, this little one, and sent me to study martial arts and strengthen myself!

"

After I arrived at Li's house, they treated me even better. My food and clothing were provided for, and I was never neglected in any way. Even if I were an animal, I would know how to be grateful!

"Speaking of which, Third Uncle cares so much about the family, but didn't he leave the family and go far away in the first place When the family was slaughtered, where were you When I was alone and helpless, where were you"

"It is I who have now grown into a fine young man, and you dare to come out and point fingers at me, telling me how to bring glory to the family!

"

"If you persist in this stubbornness and refuse to acknowledge your own place, then let us consider that we have never met today. In the future, we shall each live our own lives!"

After saying that, he turned and left in strides!

"Brother Mu!" Mr. Tang chased after him anxiously, tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground, still calling out, "Mu Xu, come back to me! Come back!"

It's a pity, Mu Xu heard it clearly but didn't even turn his head.

Still, two young pages rushed forward to help him up and whispered soothingly, "Sir, please don't worry. The young master perhaps hasn't thought it through, he will definitely come back!"

"This stubborn boy, how can he not understand my hard work!" Mr. Tang sighed, "I just made the wrong choice that year, so I can't bear for him to be like me and regret it later!"

Just then, the old doorman came in and asked, "Sir, where did the young master go The dining hall sent someone to ask what dishes you would like for dinner!"

Mr. Tang's eyes lit up, and he quickly ordered, "Get me ready to wash up, I'm going to the dining hall."

Everyone tried to dissuade him, but they could only hurry up and get busy.

Soon, Mr. Tang changed into a brown garment made of hidden floral silk and went directly to the dining hall.

At this moment, the students have already begun to eat.

Upon seeing Mr. Tang arrive, they quickly bowed and greeted him.

Li Lao San heard the commotion from the kitchen and was surprised. He stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, why did you come here in person If there's anything you need, just ask the servants to do it."

Mr. Tang replied, "I have something to say to you. Could we find a quiet place"

Li Laosan was even more puzzled, but he still led Mr. Tang to the room where he usually rested.

The room was very clean, and even when the daylight came in, there were two flower pots on the windowsill.

At this moment, the flowers are blooming beautifully, filling the house with a faint fragrance.

Li Laosan asked Mr. Tang to take a seat and personally poured him tea, smiling. "Mr. Tang, you're celebrating your birthday today. Are you satisfied with the banquet we prepared"

Mr. Tang's eyes flashed a moment of embarrassment, and he quickly replied, "Satisfied, thank you for your hard work. Over the past few years, I haven't been spared any trouble with my diet. Thank you all for taking care of me."

"The gentleman spoke of the place where my son, Jiaren, learned his calligraphy. I haven't forgotten your guidance, have I I don't have many skills, so all I can do is cook some delicious food for you. Living close by like this is certainly convenient."

Li Laosan smiled, looking very honest and simple.

Mr. Tang sighed inwardly, his mouth feeling increasingly unable to open.

Over the years, he has taught many students.

Although they are all good, none are as attentive and meticulous as the Li family. They take care of everything so thoughtfully.

As the apple of Li Family's eye, Princess Kangle was their most treasured possession. If she spoke up today, the relationship between them would likely come to an end.

But thinking of the family's need to rise again, thinking of his great-grandchildren's stubbornness, he couldn't bear it any longer.
