Chapter 802: Children Are All Debts!

ing was troubling her. So, she secretly took two apples and led her grandmother to lie down in the bed, sharing them quietly.The sweet and sour apple went down smoothly, making Old Lady Li feel much b...Mr. Wen gestured for them to sit down and told them the story from beginning to end, explaining everything in detail.

Jia Ren was very serious about becoming an official. He listened attentively and asked questions if he didn't understand something.

Though Jiahuan wasn't interested, he still tried hard to imprint it in his mind...

Some homes are filled with joy, while others are burdened with sorrow.

The Li family had achieved an initial victory and were excitedly teaching their children, but the Wu family of Jiangning Houfu was far from pleased!

Since that year the old marquis went into the palace with illness to plead for amnesty for his grandson, his body has been getting worse day by day.

By now, I'm barely breathing in and mostly breathing out.

The family had even prepared everything for a funeral, just waiting for the old man to receive the summons from the King of Hell and set off on his final journey.

Wu's family fortune, including the secret manpower, had already been handed over to Master Wu.

Unexpectedly, he lost two assassins in his first strike.

Wu Daye didn't dare tell his father. He went to the court once and brought back news of being removed from office and ordered to reflect in seclusion.

Mr. Wu, the second son, had never been happy with his elder brother. This time, he caught him red-handed and directly brought the matter before their grandfather.

The old man was far more perceptive than his two sons. Lying in bed, he glared fiercely at the eldest son, demanding to know if he had done something to bring such misfortune upon the family.

Master Wu refused to admit it, desperately arguing, "Father, I did nothing wrong. It's all a misfortune from heaven."

Perhaps someone is thinking about establishing a crown prince and wants to use our family to pressure the Empress Dowager.

This was just an excuse he made up on the spot, but the more he said it, the more sense it made.

Then he added fuel to the fire and said, "Father, Her Majesty is our Wu family's daughter. She can't be treated this way. Should you go back to the palace again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Master Hou had already grabbed a pillow and hurled it.

"Fool, you still won't tell the truth! You…"

The old master wanted to scold a few more times, but unfortunately his body was already at its end. He couldn't take a deep breath, and his throat started to wheeze.

Everyone was terrified and immediately sought out a doctor. They took his pulse, administered acupuncture, and prescribed medicine.

After all this turmoil, the old man was left hanging on by a thread, barely alive. The whole family was exhausted and worn out, too tired to even argue anymore.

Both Master Wu and Second Master Wu knew it in their hearts.

Their talents were too mediocre, they had no standing in the emperor's eyes.

The only person in the household who could say a few words to the Emperor was the old master.

If the old master passes away, the Wu family will still be the empress's maternal clan, but they will lose even the slightest bit of imperial favor.

Especially now that the family is under house arrest and being investigated by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, they're bound to find a bunch of problems…

They still expect the old man to give his last breath to help the family escape disaster!

This night, finally waited until dawn.

Mr. Wu returned to his courtyard, changed his clothes, and planned to find the Qing guest to discuss countermeasures.

As a result, the son who had been hanging around somewhere came back.

He didn't know that his father was in the back room either. As soon as he entered and saw his mother, he started making a fuss: "Mother, give me 500 taels of silver!"

As a grown man, the future Marquis of Jiangning, my purse is so tight that I can't even afford to pay for drinks, let alone make a proper purchase. It's embarrassing!

"Also, Mother, get me my father's letter of introduction. I have a friend who wants to enter Luoan Academy. Without connections, he has no way in. Let him use my father's letter; Luoan Academy won't dare refuse!"

Mrs. Wu was both angry and annoyed upon hearing this, and she rebuked him: “You unfilial son! A major event has happened in the family, you can't help at all, but instead of staying here to assist, you are out there fooling around with your idle companions! Break off ties with them immediately!”

"Our family needs to reflect on this. Your father has also been suspended!"

Wu Daren has been spending his days drinking and having fun with friends in his private courtyard.

Especially yesterday, he was completely drunk and had no idea that something had happened at home.

When I heard my mother say it, I thought she was scaring him.

"Mother, you're just teasing! My elder sister is the Empress, who would dare to bully our family"

"Hurry and get me the silver and name cards, my friends are waiting!"

Madam Wu was still about to speak when Master Wu, his face dark with rage, stormed out of the room. He grabbed the teapot from the table and hurled it at his son.

"Disobedient child! What use were you to me, raising you All you do is bring trouble to the family and waste time on leisure and pleasure!

"

I told you to stay out of trouble and not get caught, but you wouldn't listen! There are so many women willing to be bought, why do you have to steal wives from other men

"I'll kill you! You'll get into more trouble!"

Wu Dashao was terrified, pacing around the table, crying out for his mother to save him.

As the only son of Wu, Mrs. Wu was heartbroken to see him being beaten. She desperately hugged her husband and pleaded with him to stop.

"Master, tell your son slowly. He doesn't know about such a big event happening at home!"

Wu Daren was still confused and quickly responded, "Yes, Father, tell me."

"Even if I get beaten, I need to know why I'm getting beaten!"

"Why You ask me why!" Mr. Wu shook off his old wife and went after his son again.

Wu Daren was eventually caught, beaten black and blue, and finally broke down crying.

"Dad, you kill me! Kill me, and you'll be happy! Then who will take care of you in your old age and see you through to the end!"

The Madam Wu also cried holding her son, “Yes, kill my son, you go find a fox spirit to give birth to more sons. Our mother and child will make way for your new love.”

Besides, the lawsuit against our family accuses us of robbing a woman and seizing land. Even if the accusation of robbing the woman is due to our son's indiscretion, the seizure of the land was your doing!

"How dare you hit yourself Why did you hit my son!"

You really can't mess with a protective woman.

Mr. Wu's wife, with just a few words, made Mr. Wu's face turn red and purple with anger. He felt like collapsing on the spot.

The root of this chaos lies in seizing the County Princess Kangle's heartblood to help pregnant palace girls.

Originally, I didn't think it was a big deal. Even if this matter fell through, we would have offended the Li family at most. The Li family would probably just hold a grudge and protect Princess Kangle even more strictly.

Never expected, the Li family's counterattack would be so fierce and ruthless!

He slammed the teapot in his hand and let out a long sigh, "Children are all debts!"

At the same time, Old Master Wen sat in his study, seeing his eldest son shrink back in fear and anxiety. His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, but in the end, it all boiled down to the same sentence: "Children are all debts!"

He has always favored his eldest son, placing high hopes on him, always believing that the eldest son would take on the responsibility of bringing glory to the family.

For this, he forced his second son to marry into the Cui family out of desperation.

But in recent years, seeing the second son thriving and gaining more imperial favor, while the eldest son became increasingly inept.

He occasionally regretted it, thinking that he could still properly teach his eldest son, and there were many opportunities left. It wasn't necessarily guaranteed that he would be outdone by that unfilial wretch later on.

Even before he could start, the eldest son seized control of the ink studio, even going so far as to kill people and causing his own official position to be revoked!

Wen Junyan saw his father remained silent, and his heart pounded with anxiety. He quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"Father, this is all Second Brother's fault. He doesn't know what he's doing, accusing the Jiangning Marquis Mansion! The mansion is angry and took revenge on me!"

"Father, you must take charge and bring the second brother back. He has to resolve this matter no matter what! I can't be removed from office!"

Old Mr. Wen remained silent, refusing to speak.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and the door was pushed open by someone...

Three more chapters are here! I was delayed for a while today, so it's a bit late. Sorry to keep you waiting, my dears! I'll try my best to be on time in the future!, but don't be arrogant, be sure to put your heart into it and do your best.""Rest assured, shopkeeper! I will definitely work hard and not disappoint you!" Chen Xi's face flushed with excitement as h...
