Chapter 2442: Chapter 2442: Likely More Chaos Ahead

…

Over there, in the An Clan Village, many people have heard the news that An Jiuyue has returned.

The Old Patriarch, carrying a hoe, heard the people in the fields talking about An Jiuyue’s return, and also mentioning Auntie Mei’s family scholar who set his sights on An Jiuyue’s sister-in-law.

He kept walking but shook his head and sighed softly.

Such matters, since they didn’t fall on him, he naturally wouldn’t intervene, unless Auntie Mei’s family really went too far, only then would he step in.

After all, back then, if it weren’t for An Jiuyue, their entire village would have drowned, not a single one would have survived.

He couldn’t possibly repay kindness with ingratitude, could he?

“Third Master, come over here.”

“Dad, what’s the matter?” Third Master An was called over and asked his father.

An Jiuyue has returned, but that has nothing to do with them, right? The villagers all say An Jiuyue has made it big, but they are just country folks, it has nothing to do with them.

They can just live their own lives.

“Go and inquire about how much land is listed under Scholar Que’s name, and which villagers are involved.” The Clan Leader instructed.

“Huh?”

Third Master An was dumbfounded by what his father said.

What does this mean, aren’t we talking about An Jiuyue’s return, what does it have to do with those lands?

“Dad, what do you mean by this?”

“You’re so slow!”

The Clan Leader glared at him, his eyes truly filled with disappointment.

He had a lifetime of good reputation, how could he have fathered such a clueless son, who couldn’t fathom such things? What could he possibly be good for?

“Scholar Que’s family hasn’t stopped trying to involve An Jiuyue’s sister-in-law, do you think now that An Jiuyue has returned, she’ll let that family off the hook?” He asked his son.

From what he heard earlier, it seemed that Scholar Que’s grandmother was still plotting over An Jiuyue, even thinking of marrying her in. Who on earth gave her the nerve!

In the past, he didn’t intervene because he knew that no matter how much Scholar Que’s family eyed An Jiuyue, she wasn’t easy prey.

But now it’s different, An Jiuyue has returned, Scholar Que’s family is bound to have bad luck, and he couldn’t allow innocent villagers to be dragged into it, could he?

Judging by Scholar Que’s grandmother’s ways, if her grandson’s scholar title is truly lost, she’ll likely stubbornly clutch onto that land, unwilling to hand it over.

That’s a troublesome issue, if not handled well, the village could still have chaos.

“What does that mean?”

Third Master An suddenly widened his eyes.

“Dad, do you mean Scholar Que will…” no longer be a scholar?

He finally understood, now An Jiuyue truly had the capability, after all, these years An Jiuyue had been living on the mountain with her two children, the people coming and going were all significant figures.

If it weren’t for the frequent sightings of those big figures going up the mountain, Scholar Que wouldn’t have set his sights on An Jiuyue.

“Dad, this is a big deal, many families in the village have listed their land under Scholar Que’s name!” Even though his own land wasn’t listed under Scholar Que’s name, he was anxious.

“That’s why I’m asking you to investigate quietly, make sure that family doesn’t catch any wind of it.” The Clan Leader lowered his voice and said.

Now Scholar Que’s grandmother still doesn’t know the seriousness of it, thinking it’s nothing, her family’s scholar is like an emperor of this village.
