They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 354 Forced
Uncle Liang's lips twitched violently as he looked at Liang, the village head: "Village head, my Mingxiang is a student who has passed the preliminary examination. He passed the preliminary examination at such a young age, and he will definitely pass the county-level examination this year. He will have a bright future. It will bring honor to our village if someone becomes an official. Does the village head really allow anyone to implicate Mingxiang?"

Liang Minglang was somewhat surprised. Mingxiang had passed the imperial examination at such a young age? That was truly remarkable. He wondered how Mingxuan was doing now.

As cousins, he naturally knew he wouldn't really ruin Mingxiang's future, but he wouldn't let his uncle and aunt off the hook either.

Liang Minglang sneered: "When you were ruining my reputation and forcing the Xu family, did you ever think about my family? This whip has now been used on my uncle and aunt. So, my uncle and aunt can feel pain? I'm going to report this to the authorities. Otherwise, wouldn't people laugh at me for being spineless, cowardly, and weak? I won't be able to face anyone anymore."

Fourth Aunt and Sixth Grandfather sighed, looking at Uncle Liang and his wife with heartbroken eyes, but did not object to Liang Minglang.

Liang, the village head, also sighed, "It really doesn't look right if this matter isn't clarified. Madam Xu is the title of Lady Shanci bestowed by the Emperor himself, and her reputation is just as important. Am I being fair?"

Liang Lizheng had another thought he kept to himself: Given the couple's behavior and their wicked intentions, Liang Mingxiang would inevitably be implicated by them sooner or later.

Even if they become officials in the future, they will still be ruined by parents like them.

It would be better to just stay home and farm.

Uncle Liang's face was ashen, his eyes were wide, and he was panting heavily.

Liang Minglang remained indifferent, glancing at Uncle Liang before turning and walking out. "I'm going to report this to the authorities."

Silently count to three: One, two, three!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Uncle Liang shouted, "Wait!"

Liang Minglang turned around: "Uncle, stop trying to persuade me. I want the truth."

"it's me!"

Uncle Liang gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "I did this. I'm the one who brought this woman back."

"How could you do such a thing? That's outrageous!"

"You've truly lost your mind! Isn't this confusing the bloodline?"

"Yes, sigh."

"Foolish! So foolish! I've wasted all these years of my life!"

Even though they had guessed the truth, hearing Uncle Liang admit it himself still made Fourth Aunt and the others heartbroken. They scolded Uncle Liang until he was red in the face and felt ashamed.

Uncle Liang could only swallow his anger and say, "It was a moment of confusion on my part. I was wrong. I'm sorry."

Liang Minglang looked at Xu Zhichun.

What can Xu Zhichun do? This is the best that can go on.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Liang Mingxiang, she knew that if this matter really went to court, Liang Mingxiang's future would be completely ruined.

Fourth Aunt and Sixth Grandfather wouldn't just stand by and watch. After all, he was the pride of the village.

She didn't want to be known for being mean.

"Uncle, if you admit your mistake today, you should really know that you were wrong."

Zhang hurriedly said, "He knows, he knows, he really knows he was wrong! He's already apologized, how could he not know? Zhichun, let's just let this matter go, let's just leave it at that."

Seeing that Zhang Shi had been talking for so long without getting to the point, Uncle Liang cursed under his breath, calling her a "cunning old woman," and quickly said, "You can make us apologize however you want, just don't tell anyone. If anyone does, my Mingxiang will—"

"Humph!"

Liang Minglang sneered.

If I had known this, why bother?

Although he hadn't witnessed or experienced it firsthand, he could tell from the quick, urgent, and indignant way that Mingliang's wife spoke that Xu Zhichun had suffered a lot.

Xu Zhichun: "Words are meaningless. What good are verbal apologies? I want you to write it down in black and white, sign it, and keep it as proof." "What? That won't do!"

"Why?"

"This...this won't do! What if you use this to blackmail us in the future?"

“The village head and the others can testify. As long as you don’t do anything to target us in the future, I will not take out this evidence.”

"That's not OK!"

Uncle Liang cursed Xu Zhichun inwardly for being cunning. He didn't believe Xu Zhichun would be able to resist using such a big handle in the future.

If one day his son becomes successful while Liang Mingxuan becomes decadent, Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang would be jealous.

Who knows what this jealousy might lead to?

Absolutely not!

Liang Minglang sneered: "That's how it'll be. If my uncle isn't happy, then I'll have no choice but to report it to the authorities."

"you--"

"Does Uncle think that he can get away with doing something wrong without any consequences, and that everything has to be done according to your wishes?"

"."

He was wrong. The most despicable person wasn't Xu Shi, but this bastard! Good heavens, why didn't he just die out there?
Liang Lizheng then spoke up again, saying, "I think Minglang has a point. If someone does something wrong, it's impossible for them to reap all the benefits without making any sacrifices. That wouldn't be fair to Minglang and the Xu family, would it? Don't worry, I don't think Minglang and the others are that kind of people. If they go back on their word, we will stand up for you."

Uncle Liang: "."

Pooh!
Does he look that easy to fool?
But things have already come to this point, and it's no longer up to him to decide.

He had only two choices: either put it in writing or go to court.

If he doesn't choose anything, Liang Minglang will have to choose for him.

"Okay, this is in black and white, I'll sign and put my fingerprint on it! They have to promise not to say a word about it, they also have to write a guarantee."

Xu Zhichun was about to agree when Liang Minglang said, "No."

"What? That's not fair!"

"Fairness?" Liang Minglang seemed to have heard something amusing. A slight smile actually appeared on his usually indifferent handsome face, but the smile was so cold it was like ice crystals falling out, it would have been better if he hadn't smiled at all. "Did Uncle think about fairness when he did this mess?"

Uncle Liang: "."

"You have no choice."

So angry!

Uncle Liang finally relented and wrote it down in black and white, watching helplessly as Liang Minglang lightly took away the paper he had been holding. He ground his back teeth in frustration.

Liang Minglang glanced at it, then folded it up and handed it to Xu Zhichun.

Xu Zhichun was taken aback, reached out and took it, resisted looking at it, and carefully put it away.

Fourth Aunt hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. I'm telling you, Boss Liang, Minglang and the others aren't that kind of people, so don't worry about it. Of course, don't do those wicked things again in the future! Let's not talk about this anymore. Minglang, you... you were perfectly fine, so why did they send back a message saying you... saying you're gone? What happened?"

When Fourth Aunt asked this question, everyone looked at Liang Minglang and asked him the same question.

Liang Minglang was also puzzled as to why such a message would be sent back, but after asking a few questions, he understood.

He faked his death to infiltrate the enemy camp, which is probably why he was mistakenly included in the death list. He didn't expect this, and his superiors probably didn't either, so they had no idea about it.

Unexpectedly, the false news actually reached back to the village.
