Chapter 986: Burn the Boats, Do a Fantastic Job!

naments, and landholdings are still yours, aren’t they” Madam Cui calmly poured herself another cup of tea.Jiao Shi recalled the locked rooms next to the study in the front yard, and a guess formed in...Mr. Su glanced at Mr. Tang, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

As a member of the Mu family, receiving their support and living a life of luxury while studying, yet unwilling to contribute even a fraction to the family, only seeking freedom and travel outside. Such an unfilial and unjust person, how dare they live in this world!

He stood up and said, “Master Mu is right, I was there at the time. Old Master Mu personally crossed out the name with his own hand. It's known by almost everyone in the county town. If you don't believe our family's words, you can ask the other survivors. They will definitely tell you the truth.”

Then he sat down.

A deathly silence filled the house, everyone looked at Mr. Tang, their expressions complex.

They all thought Mr. Tang had found his grandson, who could revitalize his cherished family. Unexpectedly, he had already been expelled from the clan.

>

If you are alive, you can no longer use your family name. Without the protection of your family, even in death, you cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb and have no one to worship you, you can only become a lonely wild ghost....

How disappointed must Old Master Mu be with this younger brother to make such a decision!

President Zhou's heart was even more complicated. Looking at Mr. Tang's appearance, he should have known that he had been expelled from the clan long ago. So how did he have the guts to force the only bloodline of the Mu family to act according to his wishes as an elder

He wasn't even a member of the Mu family anymore!

Mu Xu had no mind to watch the others perform their facial expressions. He continued, “Today, let’s make this clear. I hope all of you gentlemen can bear witness. Afterward, if Mr. Tang becomes old or ill, I will not abandon him and will provide for his care.

"But please, Mr. Tang, don't pressure me into doing something wrong just because you're older. If Mr. Tang insists on going his own way, then we will be strangers. I won't even think about our blood relation anymore."

He stood up and bowed to everyone again, "Thank you all for your hard work. I will definitely visit again another day to express my gratitude."

Then, he took Mr. Su and left directly after bidding farewell.

The Dean wanted to stop the person, but he didn't know what to say.

Everyone looked at Mr. Tang, unsure whether to comfort him or persuade him.

Mr. Tang's face was red and purple, as if his clothes were being stripped off one by one, leaving him bare in front of everyone.

A lifetime of face, vanished in this moment!

He moved his lips, trying to say something, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed to the ground!

"Brother Tang!"

"Oh dear, help! "

"Come here, come here!"

The room was in an uproar all of a sudden, with several gentlemen crowding around Mr. Tang, one supporting him and the other wiping his blood, all flustered and at a loss.

The little bookboy waiting outside was terrified out of his wits and scrambled to call the doctor.

There are now hundreds of students in the academy, and there are over a hundred teachers and their families. Things can get quite hectic, so a few years ago, Dean Zhou hired an older doctor to live in the city and be available whenever needed.

Today comes in handy!

Two errand boys dashed out the door, one carrying a medicine chest and the other with the old doctor on his back. They were back in a jiffy.

Mr. Tang had already been put to bed. Mr. Tang's face was as pale as gold paper, and there were still traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. He looked terrible.

The old physician dared not be negligent, and quickly stepped forward to feel the patient's pulse.

After a long while, he frowned and said, "Dean, Mr. Tang is overcome with grief and anger, harming his lungs and vital organs. He needs acupuncture to wake him up, and then nourishing soup to soothe him."

"But acupuncture is dangerous. If there's even a slight mistake, Master Tang could die. I am too inexperienced, and...I can't do this! "

"Is the director having someone go to town and hire a master"

Everyone heard this and became anxious, even Dean Zhou was pacing back and forth.

Regardless of Mr. Tang's usual character, this is a life at stake! We absolutely cannot stand by and watch someone die!

The Headmaster summoned his attendant and instructed, "Take my name card and go to the city to invite Dr. Gu of Chun Tang!"

As a result, before the words were even out of his mouth, several gentlemen rushed in from outside.

Earlier, the bookboy carried the doctor running frantically. Many people saw it and naturally guessed that something was wrong.

Mr. Peng was also there. Hearing that they were going to invite a doctor, he quickly said, “Don't beat around the bush. Mr. Tang is so seriously ill, perhaps no other doctors would be helpful. Why not directly seek out Zhang Shenyi from Suijin Beach!”

Someone replied, "That's right, Mr. Tang is the calligraphy teacher of Li Jiaren. Li Jia usually takes good care of Mr. Tang, and he certainly wouldn't stand idly by at this time."

Mr. Peng is a member of the Li family, as he is Mr. Li's father-in-law.

At this moment, he commanded his attendant in an unquestionable tone and gave him a few instructions. The attendant then galloped away at full speed.

The Dean wanted to stop him, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't speak.

Firstly, Mr. Tang and the Li family's entanglement is something that shouldn't be publicized any further.

Secondly, Mr. Tang is now on the brink of death. He believes that even if there was some unpleasantness with the Li family in the past, they would not abandon him at this crucial moment given their character and actions.

He glanced at the several gentlemen who had previously witnessed, nodding lightly to them.

Several people nodded in understanding.

Understanding, just like that...

There weren't too many things to do today, Li Lao Er came home earlier than usual.

Li Ge'er is leaving tomorrow, although his new post isn't far away, it's still his first time as an official. He keeps thinking about what else he should advise.

But by the time they arrived at Earl's Manor, before he could even alight from his carriage, Mr. Peng's head steward had already reached them.

Having heard that Mr. Tang was vomiting blood and near death, Li Laoer immediately guessed that something must have changed. When he learned that Mu Xu had brought people to the academy, he became even more certain.

Thus, he immediately ordered the old soldiers in his mansion to ride horses back to Suijin Beach to fetch Zhang Shini (the divine doctor), and then mounted a carriage himself to rush to the academy.

It's not that the Li family lacks temperament and is willing to repay grievances with virtue. It's just that they have no choice but to do so.

Scholars cherish their reputation as birds cherish their feathers.

Especially in official settings, we should add another principle: respecting teachers and valuing learning.

Learning from whom, being brothers with whom, and when you studied together can bring unexpected connections and benefits.

Mr. Tang had traveled the world before and had countless students. Perhaps they will all become assets to Jiaren in the future.

Even if they don't covet these things, if the Li family doesn't help today and it spreads, Jiaren will also have to bear the charge of being unfilial and unjust.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lao Er Li wants to see the excitement, to see what kind of ruthless move Mu Xu made, and to see the miserable end of Mr. Tang!

The veteran cavalry rode much faster than Mr. Peng's escort.

Almost as soon as Lao Er arrived at the academy gate by car, the old soldier also arrived with Zhang Shenyi.

Several people entered the academy together and were immediately led to Mr. Tang's small courtyard.

When everyone saw the Li family arrive so quickly, they were all happy.

The Dean was even more ashamed for Mr. Tang and hurried forward to bow, "Master Uncle, Dr. Zhang, thank you for your trouble coming all this way."

Li La'er returned the greeting and smiled, "Doctor Zhang is too kind. Mr. Tang is our family Ren's calligraphy teacher. He fell ill, so it's our duty to help out."

"It's a pity Jiaren has already taken up his post, otherwise he would personally serve the congee by my bed. Now there's no way around it, as his father, I will do my best to take care of him."

Everyone nodded in agreement, unable to contain themselves.

I updated late today, but there are two updates!uld send you to the southeast either.""Thinking it through, the southwest is the only option. But it's barren land, so being an official there would be tough. Thankfully, Brother Lu's family lives the...
