Chapter 585: Once Unfaithful, Never Again
Guan Laoqi had a bitter face. What did he think about this?
The problem is, no matter how he thinks about it, it's useless.
Old Master Yue was a sensible man, as was Old Seven Guan. The key to this matter lay in what Old Madam Xu and the Lu sisters thought; he wasn't even a victim.
Guan Laoqi sighed and said, "Brother Yue, tell me, if it were you, what would you think? How would you solve this problem?"
"Seventh Brother, you are asking too much!"
Old Master Yue rolled his eyes at Guan Laoqi.
Guan Laoqi looked a little gloomy. He looked up at Old Man Yue and sighed again, saying, "Brother Yue, what can I do?"
As the patriarch of the Guan clan, Guan Lao San, Guan Lao Wu and others are his brothers from the same clan. If they made a mistake this time, could he just ignore it?
"Seventh Brother, let me put it this way, it's better for you not to get involved in this matter!"
"You may not like what I'm saying, but have you ever thought about what will happen to us if the Third Brother and the others really succeed?"
“Put yourself in their shoes!”
"They are not three-year-old children. Their grandchildren are already three years old. They should bear the consequences of their own actions!"
"If you plead for mercy this time, the Xu family's sister-in-law might show some leniency, but I can guarantee that the friendship between Lingshui Village and the Xu family, which has lasted for so many years, will come to an end!"
"Furthermore, Guan Lao San and his men became successful by doing such things, and their success was achieved by stepping on the lives of the Xu family."
"Even though they failed, they still managed to save their lives. They've taken all the good things in the world. Don't you think this is too ridiculous?"
If you succeed, you will be successful and become the best among people.
Even though they were defeated, they still farmed in the village. Even though they were excluded, they did not suffer any substantial losses.
"Seventh Brother, if you are unfaithful once, you will never be trusted again!"
"My advice to Guan Lao San and the others is, just do what you have to do!"
It was because of their long-standing friendship that Grandpa Yue was so frank with Guan Laoqi.
Of course, what Guan Laoqi ultimately chooses is Guan Laoqi's own business, and Grandpa Yue will not interfere. Even if Guan Laoqi wants to plead for Guan Laosan and others, Grandpa Yue will not stop him.
Just as he said to Guan Laoqi, Guan Laosan and the others were not three-year-old children, they knew what they were doing. Similarly, Guan Laoqi was not a child either, he also knew what he was doing.
Of course, if Guan Laoqi chooses to plead for Guan Laosan and others, then their family will have to completely break away from Lingshui Village like the Xu family.
Guan Laoqi was struggling with this, and the Xu family was also discussing this matter.
However, both Old Lady Xu and Lu Mudan had the same attitude, which was that this matter must be investigated to the end.
In other words, those who betray must pay the price.
The main point of discussion among Old Lady Xu and the others was what price Guan Lao San and others should pay.
Lu Mudan and Lu Xianer’s idea is simple, that is, betrayers should die.
However, Old Lady Xu had a different opinion. She felt that letting Guan Lao San and others die like this was too easy for them.
Killing Guan Laosan and others directly might serve as a warning to the living, but for Guan Laosan and others, death would be the end of everything, which was not enough to relieve their hatred.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do with them?"
Princess Yuyan was quite surprised. She had always thought that her sister-in-law, Old Lady Xu, was easy to talk to. But now, she suddenly realized that her sister-in-law had a hard heart.
"It's easy to die, but hard to live!"
"But I haven't figured out how to deal with them yet!"
"Sister-in-law, you really aren't using this method to excuse them?"
Without hearing Mrs. Xu's direct method of punishment, Princess Yuyan blinked, suspecting that her sister-in-law was using this method to give Guan Lao San and others a lighter punishment.
"I'm stupid!"
Old Madam Xu rolled her eyes at her cheap sister-in-law and said in a deep voice, "I think I need to talk to your eldest brother about this!"
"Your eldest brother is more experienced in this kind of thing!"
Old Mrs. Xu felt that her husband was quite adept at plotting against others and making things difficult for them. After all, there were precedents for this.
Beside them, Lu Mudan and Lu Xian'er thought for a while, then nodded in agreement with Mrs. Xu's proposal.
However, after this incident, it was naturally not appropriate for the Xu family to continue traveling with the people from Lingshui Village.
Fu Bao followed his mother, Old Lady Xu, and took the time to ask her why she didn't just deal with Guan Lao San and the others. These people were not nobles in high positions. Even if they were dealt with badly, as long as they were alive, they would be satisfied.
After all, Guan Laosan and others have never gotten it, they have always been just dreaming.
"Silly girl, your father is a sentimental man."
"Don't underestimate the fact that he's helped the village a lot since he came here. Logically, he shouldn't owe the village anything anymore, but your father is a stubborn person sometimes!"
"Let your father make his own decision on this matter. No matter what happens in the end, at least don't let your father have any regrets."
Old Mrs. Xu did feel that letting Guan Lao San and the others die like this was too easy for them, but the reason she acted like a heartless person was ultimately to prevent Old Mr. Xu from feeling bad about this matter.
Fubao blinked and quickly understood what his mother meant.
Understanding her mother's thoughts, she felt that her father had definitely saved the world. Otherwise, how could he have met a mother who would willingly let him marry into a den of wolves for the birth of a son like hers? And that wasn't all; her father even married a considerate and thoughtful wife like her mother!
…
Old Mrs. Xu made up her mind, and Guan Laoqi also made a decision after hesitating for a long time.
Guan Laoqi admitted that what Grandpa Yue said made sense.
However, as the patriarch of the Guan family, there are some things he must do.
"You are also a fool!"
After Guan Laoqi decided to intercede for Guan Laosan and the others, Old Master Yue sighed, "Have you ever thought that perhaps Guan Laosan and the others dared to do this because they thought you would intercede for them?"
"They did bad things, betrayed others, and yet there were people pleading for them!"
"Your so-called kinship with your fellow clan members might just be a premeditated retreat!"
I have to say that Mr. Yue is a wise man who really understands everything.
He immediately saw through Guan Lao San's plan.
Guan Laoqi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yue, I have thought about what you said. But what can I do? Do I really want to wipe out all of these families? If that happens, our clan will be finished!"
