Hang Lixing was really angry this time. Even though it would lose face, he was not going to let Wanjun Academy go!
His brother is a bastard, and everyone in the capital knows it!
Now that his classmates at the academy knew that his private collection had been sold by his brother, they looked at him with sympathy and even irony! It was obvious that his brother's fame had affected him!
But what if others knew that his brother was also forced into this situation?
In order to collect 100,000 taels of silver, they had to sell things, so Wanjun Academy must bear the responsibility for this mistake!
Although the silver was a lot, it was not as important to him as his private collection. Many things in it could not be bought with money, and he also knew that Wanjun Academy had the largest collection of books among all the academies in the capital. When the time came, he would not need Wanjun Academy to repay the silver, as long as he could choose any of the books.
In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about being labeled as a money-grubber, and it would also ease the embarrassment of having all the good things in his study cleared out!
Hang Lixing has already thought it all out.
Hang Er was thrown into the ancestral hall and knelt there, feeling lonely and cold, and very uncomfortable.
He didn't even understand why this happened. He was panicked but even angrier.
He didn't expect that his elder brother would treat him like this for 100,000 taels of silver!
If his eldest brother had agreed to use the money to redeem him, would he have had to pawn his belongings? It's not like the family was short of money, and if they were reluctant to spend money on him, wouldn't that mean they thought he was the second son and unworthy?
Over the years, Hang Gengyuan has heard a lot of people gossiping in his ears.
Some people say that his elder brother really doesn't want him to be well, so he only lets him eat, drink and have fun, and never teaches him to do serious work.
But he doesn't like to follow rules, so he thinks it's good for his elder brother to treat him like this.
But some people say that what the eldest brother said about being nice to him was fake.
How much money could he spend on food, drink, and entertainment? It's nothing compared to a painting bought by my elder brother.
My eldest brother is a frequent visitor to Lianhuazhai, and the things there are famously expensive!
However, every time he spent several hundred taels of silver, his elder brother would constantly remind him to spend less and never restrained himself!
Also, the eldest brother is the eldest son. When his father dies in the future, the eldest brother will take charge of the family and get 70% of the property. But what about him? He can only pick up the pieces behind the eldest brother!
He had been happy to do so before, but now, after making just this tiny mistake, his elder brother acted as if he wanted him dead...
How could I possibly spoil him and let him do as he pleases for the rest of his life?
Hang Gengyuan thinks a lot.
On the first day, he could still find some excuses for his elder brother, thinking that maybe there were things he sold that his elder brother cared about, so it was normal for his elder brother to be angry. But at night, when he was kneeling alone and there were people guarding outside, not letting him slack off or giving him food, his heart grew colder and colder.
This brotherhood is all fake.
Hang Geng knelt on his feet for two days during the hike, and was half exhausted. He was only allowed to eat a little vegetarian food and was never allowed to eat a full meal. His knees were bruised. When he was helped up, he thought the punishment was finally over, but who knew that he was taken directly to the carriage.
"Second Young Master, the eldest young master has instructed that you should go to the authorities and explain clearly how Wanjun Academy bullied and beat you. You must get back the 100,000 taels of silver. If Wanjun Academy refuses to admit its mistake and pay compensation, then he will ask the master to kick you out of the house and leave you to fend for yourself from now on." The housekeeper delivered the message on behalf of Hang Lixing, and there was not much warmth in his words.
Very cold-hearted.
