Lord Zong regrets it!
Rather than asking his son to be obedient, he wanted his son to be healthy, get married early and have children to carry on the family line!
I used to think that he was not ambitious and could not marry a wife of equal status, but now I think about it, what's the point of a good match? Even a girl from a poor family would be fine!
It’s much better than this child becoming a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple in the future!
Of course, there are Taoist priests who can get married, but after all, they are detached from the secular world... Besides, my son has already made up his mind. Who knows if he will be interested in Buddhism again in the future, shave his head, and call me "old donor" all the time?!
"Son, I was wrong. I thought Wanjun Academy was a formal academy after all and would not beat or bully you. I didn't expect... I made you suffer. But don't worry, the kid from the Hang family sued the academy this time, and I will definitely give him justice. You don't have to go to the academy anymore. Wanjun Academy has no face to accept this money! We will never dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous again!" Lord Zong was very angry.
Zong Ling thought he could leave, but when he heard this, he was stunned.
"What justice? Dad, what are you talking about?" He frowned.
"In the past, your father had high expectations of you, always comparing you to your elder brother. It was my fault. After all, your elder brother is the eldest son, so it's only natural that he can achieve something. You... your father will pave the way for you in the future and try to minimize your suffering. And with your elder brother's support, your life won't be too bad..."
"Dad! Wait a minute!" Zong Ling was confused.
"You just said that the kid from the Hang family sued the academy? Are you talking about Hang Er and Hang Gengyuan?!" Zong Ling asked with a frown.
"That's him, wasn't he beaten away? The academy demanded 100,000 taels before he was free. Hang Gengyuan felt that it was inappropriate for the other party to commit such a robbery in the name of the academy, so he sued us. I have decided to notify the academy and all the students. Once the plaintiff, defendant and witnesses are gathered, we can make a final decision. The students who were oppressed are all sons of prominent families in the capital, and they will never allow Wanjun Academy to ask for so much." Lord Zong said again.
Zong Ling now completely understood.
"That bastard Hang Er still has the nerve?!" Zong Ling started cursing.
He suddenly raised his voice, which scared his grandfather.
"Dad, don't listen to what Hang Erhu said. He left the academy because he couldn't make it. How dare he ask for money? No one forced him to sign the contract. He wanted to go to the academy to find fault but got slapped in the face. We thought he ran away in disgrace because he admitted defeat, but we didn't expect him to dare to complain!" Zong Ling was furious.
"Dad, what else did he say? That the master beat him? With his kidney deficiency, the master wouldn't have dared to hit him hard even if he had! Dad, you even beat me, am I going to sue you too?!"
"Son, you mean... the academy, right?" Lord Zong was a little confused.
"Of course it's right!" Zong Ling said righteously.
Hang Er was also forced out by them. If they say the academy is at fault, then isn't that telling everyone else that their other brothers are at fault?!
"You just said that the academy beat us severely..." Lord Zong frowned.
"Dad, when I was disobedient before, you almost beat me to death. Was that considered severe? I know what kind of person I am. When I get into trouble, I don't care about anything. I can't stop without taking drastic measures. I accept being beaten. There's nothing to be upset about. A real man shouldn't be afraid of being laughed at by others for being beaten. I don't want to be like Xiao Qi, always crying..."
