Just as the head of the Mu family was getting extremely annoyed by their clamor and was preparing to personally throw these two good-for-nothings out,
An aged voice rang out, "Let's see who dares to touch my two precious sons today."
Then an old woman, trembling with fear, walked in. The head of the Mu family felt even more overwhelmed. "Mother, why are you here too?"
"Why can't I come? What? After you became the head of the family, not only did you disown your brothers, but you also forbade your own mother from being recognized?" Old Madam Mu said aggressively.
“Mother, what are you saying? When did I ever say I didn’t recognize you?” said the head of the Mu family.
“Then how come I heard you say that you wanted someone to throw your two younger brothers out? Your mother is also a Venerable One, and my hearing is not that bad,” said Old Madam Mu.
"Mother, Bai'er invited a very skilled doctor back today, and he's treating Tingting right now. The second and third sons are drunk and making a scene here, bringing shame to our Mu family," said the head of the Mu family.
"Tingting! Tingting! You only have that woman in your heart. You even neglect the family business for her illness. I have said before that what kind of family is our Mu family? We have done more than enough for her. Didn't you invite the clan's imperial-level physician from the Physicians' Guild to treat her a few days ago, even at great expense? And what was the result?"
Let me tell you, it's a bottomless pit. It will not only drain our Mu family's wealth, but also your health.
Mother absolutely disagrees with you continuing to devote yourself to that woman. As the dignified head of the family, you can have any kind of woman you want. Bai'er is already so grown up, he's not some helpless infant. Besides, even if he were a newborn baby, would my Mu family be so incapable of losing my eldest grandson? Does he have to be taken care of by his mother?
"I've made up my mind today. She's not allowed to receive any more medical treatment. If she pulls through, it's a blessing in disguise, and I'll be happy for her. If she doesn't make it, our Mu family won't mistreat her. We'll give her a grand funeral. Cultivators should prioritize cultivation. What are personal feelings for children that important? If you need women, I'll send you a batch later, each one a beautiful and fresh young woman..." Old Madam Mu kept talking.
Seeing that she was going too far, the head of the Mu family slammed his fist on the table, his forehead veins bulging, and said, "Mother! That's enough! I don't want anyone but Tingting! If you say anything more about whether or not to bury her, don't blame your son for turning against you today."
The head of the Mu family was a well-known filial son. The old lady of the Mu family had never seen him speak to her so angrily before. She reluctantly shut her mouth. Even the second and third masters of the Mu family stood back behind the old lady of the Mu family. Although they were still not very clear-headed, they did not dare to continue to act recklessly.
The head of the Mu family looked at these people and felt a headache coming on. "Mother, if you and the second and third sons have nothing else to do, you should go back. I still have many things to discuss with the elders."
Upon hearing this, Master Mu the Second and Master Mu the Third instinctively turned to leave, but Old Madam Mu raised her hand to stop them and said to the head of the Mu family, "I didn't come here today to meddle in your trivial matters. I came to get the key that Tingting has."
"A key? What key?" The head of the Mu family couldn't remember for a moment.
“It’s the key to her dowry chest,” said Madam Mu.
The head of the Mu family immediately became alert and asked, "Mother, what do you need that key for?"
"What do you think I can do..." Old Madam Mu rolled her eyes and said.
