Chapter 26 The Sun Family Head Arrives
"If I hadn't come, I don't know what kind of mess you guys are making in Yuanjing." Sun Dayong was very bold in speaking. Although the most promising person in their clan was his younger brother's son Sun Tu, his nephew was also supported by the whole clan.
Otherwise, with those two confused people like Zhou and Sun Yue, could they possibly produce a third place winner? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it. Scholars spend money like water.
"Uncle, Mom was just confused for a moment, it hasn't come to that." Sun Tu still protected Zhou. After all, his father died early, and he was the driving force that kept him going all these years. Besides, Mom only had him as her son. If he gave up on her, what would she do?
Zhou was also genuinely afraid of Sun Dayong. In this dynasty, there were many clans, and the clan leaders had considerable power. Furthermore, Sun Dayong was her deceased husband's elder brother, so he had the power to write a divorce letter on her husband's behalf.
He could only hesitantly say, "Brother, I really didn't do anything excessive. As for setting rules for my daughter-in-law, every daughter-in-law eventually becomes a mother-in-law. At most, I just gave Brother Tu a concubine."
"Asshole." Sun Dayong looked at his sister-in-law who looked like she was feeling aggrieved. He was so angry that he almost laughed and threw the teacup in his hand angrily.
"Brother Tu, you are just indulging your mother in doing this. Have you lost all your moral principles and sense of propriety because of your studies? If so, my Sun family is too small to accommodate the three of you." Sun Dayong didn't want to be the bad guy, but looking at his nephew like this, he felt that his Sun family might not be able to achieve such wealth.
When Sun Tu heard what his uncle said, he knelt down with a thud and said in confusion: "Uncle, it's just some small things in the backyard, how can it be so serious?"
Sun Tu listened to how his uncle wanted to expel the three of him from the family, but he still didn't understand why his uncle was willing to give up on him, the only promising child in the family.
Sun Dayong looked at the furnishings in the room. Although he was just a commoner, he still had some discerning eyes. This was definitely not something his nephew, a seventh-rank official, could afford. How could the three of them have the nerve to bully someone else's daughter?
"What do you think, Sun Tu? You lost your father when you were young. We in the Sun family have been pretty good to you over the years, right? If everyone in the clan knew that they had saved so much food and money to raise someone as ungrateful as you, who would be willing to do that?"
Sun Dayong was a little disappointed. This was the child he had watched grow up! How could he become like this after the exam?
"Uncle, I really haven't forgotten how good you all have been to me, and I haven't caused any trouble to the family. Why can't the family tolerate me?" Sun Tu was really sad at this moment, and felt very wronged. He had been an official diligently for the past three years and was not greedy. How could it be so serious?
"Brother Tu, your uncles and I received the letter and thought it was Marquis Wu'an abusing his power. We were planning to support you, but we already knew everything when we arrived in Yuanjing. You passed the exam, but you didn't want to marry Wang Xiaoyi because you were too rich. You wanted to be Marquis Wu'an's son-in-law.
You promised Marquis Wu'an that you would have no confidantes, no engagements, no so-called benefactors, and that you would never take concubines. The letter of guarantee you wrote is still in Marquis Wu'an's hands, and now the entire Yuan capital knows its contents. So what's going on here on the ground now?"
As soon as Sun Dayong said this, the three women present looked at Sun Tu in surprise. They had no idea he had written a letter of guarantee. Sun Tu once again learned about his own affairs from others, and he knew in his heart that his future was truly ruined. The most desperate person here was Wang Xiaoyi. Since Sun Tu had written a letter of guarantee, there was no way he could marry her.
Zhou had actually tricked her into taking action, and now she was in such a situation. She glared at Zhou hatefully, thinking that if I wasn't having a good time, then no one would have an easy time either.
Wang Xiaoyi immediately crawled to Sun Dayong crying, "Uncle Sun, I'm innocent! My parents were planning to find someone to arrange a marriage for me. It was Aunt Zhou who sent someone to pick me up, saying that Brother Sun Tu couldn't forget me and wanted to rekindle our past relationship, and that he would marry me. That's why my parents let me come.
It was Aunt Zhou who wanted Zhao to have a difficult labor, so she asked me to deliberately provoke her. Later, it was Aunt Zhou who drugged Brother Sun Tu, which led to our consummation. I was beaten for this, and I've only just recovered. Uncle Sun, why did I have to go through all this?
"Brother Sun Tu took my money and would have just not married me. But Aunt Zhou turned around and harmed me. What should I do now? She even implicated my parents at home." The more Wang Xiaoyi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Although she was greedy, if it weren't for Aunt Zhou pushing her forward, she would have been married in the countryside by now.
"Wang Xiaoyi, what are you talking about?" When Sun Tu heard Wang Xiaoyan say this, he had only one thought in his mind and immediately scolded her. But Wang Xiaoyi still said everything he should and shouldn't say.
"Ms. Zhou, do you admit that you have done these things? What do you say, Brother Tu?" Sun Dayong hated Zhou in his heart for ruining the future of his own sons and nephews.
Zhou saw her actions completely exposed, in front of her son and clan members. She was filled with endless fear, afraid that she would be abandoned, and even more afraid that her family of three would be abandoned. In this dynasty, if someone was expelled from the clan, they would have nowhere to be buried after death. Everyone was extremely taboo about it. So when her eldest brother questioned her, she just trembled silently beside him.
Seeing his sister-in-law like this, Sun Dayong knew that what Wang Xiaoyan said was true. Sun Dayong really wanted to beat this harmful guy to death with a hoe. If it weren't for her series of things, how could Tu Ge'er and his wife have such a quarrel and completely offended Wu Anhou.
Wu Anhou's series of actions clearly aimed to crush Tu Ge'er's future, ensuring he would never make any progress. This student who had finally graduated was completely ruined!
Seeing his uncle and clansmen looking at his mother with hatred, Sun Tu could only say, "Uncle, that's my mother." Sun Tu understood that no matter what his mother did wrong, he would never give up on her.
"Then what do you want to do?" Sun Dayong was also convinced by the confused mother and her two children.
When Zhou saw her son speaking up for her, she instantly regained her confidence, held her head high, and looked like, "What can you do to me?"
Sun Tu was silent for a moment. Judging from his uncle's attitude, this matter could not be resolved peacefully. But he didn't know what to do.
"Then let Zhou go back to serve her mother-in-law! Sun Yue should go back with her and find someone to marry in the countryside." This was Sun Dayong's bottom line.
