Ignoring Madam Mu's words, the head of the Mu family looked at his two good-for-nothing brothers and said, "If I ever hear you two bastards talking about your sister-in-law like that again, you won't get a single spirit coin from the family."
Master Mu Er and Master Mu San were too afraid to utter a word after being yelled at by the head of the Mu family. Old Madam Mu seemed to have been provoked by something and glared at the head of the Mu family, saying fiercely, "Since you are so reluctant to part with that woman, then you can go and guard her. Hand over the position of head of the Mu family."
What?! Everyone present was shocked. No one had expected that Old Madam Mu would have such thoughts in mind.
"Mother, what do you mean by this? It's not up to you to decide who should be the head of the Mu family," the head of the Mu family said with a stern face.
"What if we add the two of us old guys to the mix?" Two aged voices rang out again.
The room was filled with shock when the two figures entered.
"Two patriarchs! Who lifted the seal on you?!" The head of the Mu family stared at the two in disbelief.
"It's me. What? Can't I let my two elder brothers out to see what you've done to the Mu family?" said Old Madam Mu.
"Mother, do you know how many resources it takes to seal off the Ancestor?!" The head of the Mu family was practically driven mad by his own mother.
For a long time, Madam Mu had been fond of making decisions behind the backs of the Mu family head, partly because the Mu family head was her son, and partly because she had two older brothers who were at the late stage of the third realm and had been confined to the Mu family.
But the head of the Mu family never expected that the old lady of the Mu family would be so bold as to break the ancestor's seal and release the two of them without the approval of the family head and the elders.
“Calling us ‘Ancestor’ is too formal. Just call us two old folks ‘Uncle.’ These are all family matters. There’s no need to make a big deal out of it,” one of the ancestors said.
The head of the Mu family remained silent, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. He seemed to have finally understood why Old Madam Mu had released the two ancestors.
Madam Mu was the eldest daughter of the Mu family. She was exceptionally capable and beautiful. She married the father of the Mu family head. Shortly after giving birth to three children, the father of the Mu family head tragically died during a family mission.
With her iron-fisted methods and the support of her two powerful brothers, Madam Mu managed to stabilize the Mu family's situation and, within a century, made the Mu family head the youngest patriarch in the family's history.
Therefore, the head of the Mu family has always been accommodating to his mother's every request. Except for the matter of marriage, the head of the Mu family has fulfilled almost all of the old lady's unreasonable demands, including withholding resources from the clan for outstanding members, and forcibly pushing his two unworthy younger brothers to the Saint Venerable Realm.
The head of the Mu family made an exception for his two uncles, who had always supported him, by confining them to the ancestral land and giving them enough time and resources to break through.
Otherwise, normally only an ancestor who has reached the Emperor level would be qualified to use so many family resources to seal and slumber, so that they can help the family in the future when it encounters a crisis.
“I know that I was able to take the position of family head at a young age, which was largely due to the support of my mother and uncles. It seems that my mother and uncles are not going to let me continue in this position now, but I wonder if our clansmen will agree?” said the head of the Mu family.
“You’re not stupid. We made you the head of the family back then because you were honest and obedient. I never expected that you would disobey your mother for a woman. If that’s the case, what’s the point of having you as the head of the family?” the patriarch said.
