He is now the top scholar appointed by the emperor himself. How could the daughter of the Xu family be worthy of him?

Do you think you can control him just because of some small favors you've done in the past?

Don't even think about it!

“Mother, they just have a little money. Once I become an official and have money, I will pay them back as soon as possible, and we will be even. As for marrying the Xu family girl, I am absolutely unwilling to do so.”

“If Mother finds this difficult, you don’t need to worry about it. I will explain it to the Xu family myself.”

Meng Tianlang tried to persuade his mother in return, but to his surprise, she became even angrier.

"Get out of here! Get out! I don't want to see you. All these years, I've never really understood my son. You're a complete stranger to me now."

"Get out!"

Meng's mother roared in a near-collapse, but Meng Tianlang remained unmoved.

So he got up, pulled Meng Tianlang up, pushed him out, and slammed the door shut.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Meng Tianlang was apologizing to his mother.

“Mother, please open the door. You’re not feeling well, don’t get upset, it’s not worth it. Besides, I’m not wrong. True love is priceless. Yiyi and I are truly in love. I can’t marry a woman I don’t love, Mother.”

“Mother, I will explain things to the Xu family myself. The Emperor hasn’t punished me, has he? Mother, please don’t be angry.”

"Never mind, Mother, I will pay my respects to you again tomorrow. Please get some rest."

Meng Tianlang's words still implied his resistance to the marriage between the Xu and Xu families, and he made no mention of his own mistakes.

So angry was Mencius' mother that she didn't say a word to him.

After a while, the footsteps faded away.

It's likely that Meng Tianlang found it boring and went back to his room.
