Chapter 104 What a loser

The wound on Murong Jue's face was not serious and he recovered almost immediately after applying medicine.

Xingzhu still held back when he attacked.

But the pain in my heart can't be healed so quickly.

In public, he was beaten by a woman, and a servant at that. What a shame.

And he could only escape in embarrassment.

It is conceivable how he will survive in the capital in the future.

Whenever he thought of this, Murong Jue's heart would beat with anger.

Murong definitely didn't want to fight back. He felt a fatal threat at that time.

He also felt a strong murderous aura.

Although the maid had some strength, she was not a weakling. How could she be so useless that she was beaten without even a chance to fight back?

He was locked in place by the Qi of a peerless master.

He had no way to resist.

He also had a feeling that if he dared to take action, he would definitely die.

So he didn't even dare to say anything harsh and just ran away.

The reason why he decided to take action against Xu Qiuyue was that he chose Xu Qiuyue after carefully selecting countless people.

There was no emblem of any aristocratic family hanging on Xu Qiuyue's carriage.

The key point is that before he took action, he had already memorized the carriages of all the important figures in the capital, and only dared to take action after he was sure that this was just a merchant with no power.

It was an honor for these powerless merchants to have their carriages taken away by him.

Murong Jue’s success in the capital city was not due to his blind arrogance.

Every time he made a move, he was fully prepared in advance.

Today, he finally met Princess Nanyang. Although Princess Nanyang looked down on him and would not marry him, she could introduce him to Xuan Jiuqing!

This is how his life will be anyway, with no chance of making a breakthrough.

It’s better to take a chance and choose to join Xuan Jiuqing.

When Murong Jue thought about having to live under the oppression of the Yang family for the rest of his life, he felt that such a life was meaningless and it would be better to just die.

Princess Nanyang's carriage happened to break down.

He had already made sufficient preparations and had memorized the appearance of the carriages of those important figures in his mind.

So he stepped forward. He originally wanted to snatch the carriage for Princess Nanyang so that he could show his face in front of Princess Nanyang.

Although this makes him seem arrogant and brainless.

But this is also his advantage.

After all, big shots need all kinds of people around them.

We also need people like him who dare to fight and take the initiative.

But today, Murong Jue knew that his reputation was completely ruined.

He hit a wall.

Xu Qiuyue is really the granddaughter-in-law of King Ning'an, and the granddaughter-in-law is also the granddaughter-in-law.

He only knew that Prince Ning'an had no grandson.

But they forgot that King Ning'an also had a grandson.

Prince Ning'an and Princess Ning'an are very fond of their grandson.

Today, I have lost both my dignity and face.

Although Prince Ning'an is already old, he was already a master and had a great reputation when he was young.

He also married Emperor Sheng's sister. But she was not an ordinary sister, but a biological sister, a sister from the same mother.

Unlike other princesses, she was born to the previous emperor's other concubines.

Prince Ning'an has countless experts under his command. It is normal for him to value his grandson and send people to protect him.

And Xu Qiuyue is Lu Yuan's wife.

It is normal for Lu Yuan to send experts to protect his wife.

People of their status.

Although it is said that one should marry a virtuous woman and that marriages are usually arranged according to family arrangements, if one really does not like a woman, then one will certainly take a concubine.

Lu Yuan always brought his wife from his hometown to Beijing to take the exam, and he didn't have any concubines. This shows that he really loves this wife.

Just when Murong Jue was having a headache about today's incident.

His gate was kicked open.

"Murong Jue, how dare you do such a thing that is disgraceful to our family today!"

Yang took people to find Murong Jue overnight.

She was really angry.

Now the Duke's Mansion is in a precarious situation.

Her eldest son Murong Peng had already been demoted to a lower level when he inherited the title.

This is the last generation.

The title can only be retained for three generations.

After three generations, if the younger generation has no prospects, they will become commoners.

And now, her son is the last generation.

The name of the Duke's Mansion still exists because she is still alive. If she were to die, the plaque would have to be removed.

She didn't expect that Murong Jue would be so arrogant outside.

She had already asked someone to investigate what happened today, and the facts were exactly as the Crown Princess had said.

It was actually Murong Jue who took the initiative to stop Xu Qiuyue's carriage and tried to rob it.

Now that the Crown Prince's Consort has learned about this matter, and when the time comes to discuss it with those nobles, how will their Duke's Mansion save face?

"Mother, what do you mean?"

The moment Murong Jue saw Yang, he knew that it must be Xu Qiuyue who went to Yang to complain.

This woman is so vicious.

He had clearly been severely beaten.

It is really too vicious that the bad guys have to complain first.

But at this moment, Murong Jue still pretended to know nothing and spoke to Yang.

"What do I mean? Don't you know what good things you have done? Has our Rongguo Mansion ever treated you unfairly? When have we ever given you less food and drink? You actually robbed someone's carriage in broad daylight. Even if you needed a carriage, don't you know to give them a little money and rent them a carriage?"

Yang said with a look of disappointment.

For a wealthy family, the most important thing is face.

Even if you do all kinds of bad things, you must not lose the rules and etiquette.

What's the difference between what Murong Jue did and what a robber did?

She actually needs to be taught this.

You can rob someone else's carriage, but you have to pay no matter what. This is the spirit of a noble family.

"Mother, you know how much I earn every month. How can this little money be enough for me to squander like this?

You know that my aunt is not in good health and is seriously ill.

Where did she get the money for her medical treatment?

It’s not how I got it.

It's just that I was unlucky today and forgot that my grandson's wife is also my grandson's wife!"

Murong looked at Yang and spoke slowly.

He had already given up hope at this point.

Since childhood, in order not to surpass the eldest son, he had to pretend to be a loser.

Only in this way can he grow up and survive safely.

The weather was so cold, but his mother still had to wash clothes for the whole family, and her fingers were frozen.

Now he is sick all over and has tortured his mother to such an extent, yet he pretends to be magnanimous and exempts his mother from her daily chores.

But even if his mother was sick, if he did anything to displease Murong Peng, his mother would serve Yang for several hours every day.

But he was powerless.

Maybe if you pretend to be a loser for too long, you will become a real loser.
