Implicating the Entire Clan
Implicating the Entire Clan
Her tone softened a little. "I just thought fifth junior brother didn't sleep well last night. He had suffered a lot. He shouldn't be able to sleep later. It's more convenient for him to faint. This is what I should do as his senior sister."
Xiao Yurong was stunned, and then he nodded.
He did not refute.
He had always been steady and thought his senior sister should be the same. However, now, he found that his senior sister was so mischievous that she was like a child even when it came to taking revenge.
"Now that he fainted, it's a waste of manpower to carry him away. Why don't we just leave him here?" Zhao Xuanjing glanced at Jiang Jinlu and did not look polite at all.
"What if Meng Xiande went crazy and hacked him to death?" Xie Qiao looked serious.
"That's true." Zhao Xuanjing snorted and got someone to carry him onto the carriage.
If this was Xie Qiao's younger brother, Xie Qiao would directly drag him on the ground and show him know how powerful she was. Unfortunately, Jiang Jinlu's face was thin.
It was difficult to deal with such a scholar.
In comparison, her own eldest brother and younger brother were better. Although they loved to stir trouble and had a lot of problems... They let her do whatever she wanted and were always full of vigor.
Xie Qiao also got into the carriage and left.
The new mansion was not too far away and they arrived soon. After settling down, it was already a little late.
The next day, the news of Li Shiyan moving out had spread.
There were many scholars in Mengjiabao recently. Many young scholars from all around the area came to try their luck. Even if they were not selected by Li Shiyan, it would still be good if they were given some pointers.
Although Li Shiyan was a great scholar, there were some rules that could not be exempted.
For instance, when he first arrived in Mengjiabao, in order to show respect to the local officials and big families, he would also attend some scholars' banquets and choose some of the outstanding ones to give pointers to. After giving pointers, if he did not want to bother with those trivial things, he would shut his door and would not see any guests.
Even so, there were still many people who paid attention to his movements.
Now that he had left, many people had questions.
After living in the Meng Residence for so long, they would have done so long ago if they wanted to move. Why did they only move now?
Moreover, they heard that the old master's disciple was sick. They should not move at this time, right?
The other members of the Meng family also received the news and went to Meng Shisan's place to inquire about it. However, when they arrived, they discovered that there was a bereavement in the family.
Not only that, Meng Xiande also had a face full of resentment. With one look, it was obvious that something big had happened.
This matter was no longer a secret. The servants of the Meng family all knew a thing or two about it.
After inquiring about it from these people, the members of the Meng family were dumbfounded!
"Meng Xiande! What kind of sin did our Meng clan commit to have a family member like you?! Your grandson is destined to be unlucky! You actually did something evil to Old Master Li, is he someone you can afford to offend?! Great, you've implicated the entire clan now!"
It was a deadly enmity!
Disciples were like half children, sometimes even closer than their own sons. Meng Xiande wanted to take the disciple's life, how could the enmity be resolved?!
"Bad news, Patriarch. Old Master Li was invited by the county magistrate to a banquet today. He met many scholars. For some reason, when he talked about our Meng clan, he actually spread the word that in the future... he would become enemy with us and would no longer give any pointers to anyone from the Meng Clan..."
"Patriarch, what should we do now?!"
The old master did not mention the use of the substitute technique to prevent outsiders from finding out about it. Instead, they would be more interested.
However, that did not stop him from telling others that Meng Xiande wanted to kill his disciple.
