Chapter 38: Attire of the Scholar

t from her past life married the very guard who served by Mo Yunjing's side in their previous lives.A-Tang also treated that maidservant as her own sister, providing a dowry for her and sending her of..."This is none of your business!" An Fugui glared coldly at Lizheng.

"Why don't you care about my business" The headman also darkened his face, "This is Ling Shui Village, I am the headman of Ling Shui Village. As long as something happens in the village, I have the right to intervene!"

"Hmph!" Wang said angrily, "My son is an official in the capital! If you dare to disrespect us, when he returns, we'll make sure you regret it!"

"..."

Everyone's ears are immune after hearing her say that again.

Some villagers even wore expressions of disdain, as Wang had been saying these things constantly over the years.

But Annan Lin has been taking the imperial examinations in the capital for so many years with no news. Who knows if he is still alive

At first, her words had some effect when she threatened the villagers. But now, after more than ten years, they just laugh it off when they hear her.

Dong Ge squinted at her, snorted, and said, "Then wait until your son comes back."

After finishing his words, he looked at Mo Yunjing, and opened his mouth with some difficulty, "Yun Big Brother, An Xuetang... An Xuetang she..."

This is really a bit embarrassing, especially telling Mo Yunjing that An Xuetang went to lure away the big bug in order to save him and several other gentlemen.

When he spoke of this, a deep sense of shame filled his heart.

Mòyúnjǐng looked at him thoughtfully, "What's wrong with my wife"

"She..." Dong'er suddenly knelt down and bowed, "Yun Big Brother, An Xuetang she went to save us alone, leading the big monster away. Later we searched for her in the woods for several hours but couldn't find her. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she…"

Dead!

These two words, Dong Ge'er couldn't bring himself to say them no matter what. He didn't want to admit it, nor was he willing to admit that An Xue Tang had met with such a fate.

Last night, he ventured into the woods alone. Later, he circled back to the area reeking of blood, but aside from the bloodstains on the ground, he found nothing.

Li Zheng and his wife looked at their son like that, both of them felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

Li Zheng pursed his lips. Yesterday, Da Ya had risked her life to save him, but asking him to kneel before Mo Yun Jing, a junior, was something he couldn't do.

Now all that could be seen was Dongge kneeling on the ground alone, eyes filled with remorse.

Liu Po and the few women from yesterday exchanged glances, then silently stepped back.

Yesterday An Xuetang did this to save them, but they actually felt that it should be this way.

An Xuetang saved several of their lives with her own life. That way of thinking is quite fitting.

Even Dong Ge'er, being a man, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

As soon as he thought of An Xuetang saving his life for the second time, he felt that he owed her a lifetime and would never be able to repay her.

Mo Yunjing had not yet spoken after hearing Dong'er's words, but at this moment, An Fugui and Wang shi looked at each other, their eyes full of scheming.

"I see An Fugui taking a step forward and staring fiercely at Dongger. 'So it was you who indirectly harmed our Daya! You must give me an explanation!' "

"…"

Li Zheng glared at him coldly, full of disdain. "Even if I were to give an explanation, it would be to the Yun family's boy. What are you"

"That's right," Mrs. Li chimed in, "You folks already sold Big Sister to the Yun family. Even if we were to compensate Big Sister, it would be given to the Yun family boy. What does it have to do with your Li family"

Wang's sharp and sarcastic remarks began again. Pointing at Mrs. Li Zheng, she shouted loudly, "How is it unrelated Don't forget that Liu was the mother of Da Ya. Of course, any compensation should be paid to Liu!"

Anyway, since the money went to Liu's hands, it's the same as going into their hands!

"You're quite crafty, aren't you"

An Fugui didn't want to get involved in all that before, but now that he finally knows An Xuetang's death has something to do with them, he certainly won't let them off easily.

"A-Fu looked down at Dong'er, "Dong'er, I remember my big girl once saved you, and now she has saved you again. Two lives added together should be worth a lot of money, right"

Dong Ge'er pretended not to hear him. Right now, Dong Ge'er was just looking at Mo Yunjing, "Yun Gege, please punish me. No matter what you ask, as long as I can do it, I won't shirk."

An Xuetang is Yun Gege's wife, but now she has died because of saving someone. If Yun Gege really wants to compensate, he will even sell everything he has to make it happen.

As soon as it was heard that compensation was to be given to An Xue Tang, Tie Zhu, the beneficiary of yesterday's events, also stepped forward, "Yun family brothers, I was there yesterday too. I share some responsibility for putting Dayaya in danger, and I am willing to compensate."

Both of them stated that they would compensate An Xuetang. Liu Pozi and the other women quickly stepped back. They had been saved, it was true, but they wouldn't compensate An Xuetang.

It wasn't that they pushed An Xue Tang out to die, it was her own willing decision.

Wang suddenly shouted excitedly, "You have to compensate, each of you fifty taels!"

"...." Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Li Zheng and his wife were speechless, watching Wang Shi and An Fugui's greedy expressions, they shook their heads.

An Xuetang is really pitiful to have such a family.

Wang Shi and An Fu Gui's expressions and words were ignored.

Now, all eyes were on Mo Yunjing.

Mò Yúnjǐng looked at Dōnggē'er. He was somewhat surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that there were such quality people even in the countryside. If he became an official in the future, he would surely be a honest and upright official.

He glanced at Dongger and slowly spoke, "Get up first."

Dong'er pursed his lips. "Please, Yun Ge, make the decision. About An Xue Tang... Should we... should we give her... a proper burial"

This sentence Dong Ge did not want to say, but he still reluctantly said it out loud.

After saying that, he added, "I know you, Yun Ge, are not able to move around easily, so...so I want to take care of the matter of putting on formal attire for her. I...I am willing to help you handle...her funeral arrangements as An Xue Tang's younger brother."

No matter what, An Xue Tang is gone. He can still visit her grave every year to pay his respects by setting up an offering of clothes and food.

As soon as he heard the word "clothing," Mo Yunjing's lips twitched. He glanced at the kitchen out of the corner of his eye.

I wonder what this girl is waiting for, she's taking so long to come out.things she should say and shouldn't say. No matter who it is, not a single word can be extracted from her lips.So facing Yun Si's probing, her face didn't change one bit.Read novels, more high-quality...
