"You scoundrel!"
A shout rang out, and a figure rose from his chair.
Hearing the voice, Mu Yun knew who it was without even looking. It
was Mu Fengyuan, the First Elder of the Mu family!
Mu Yun knew that this old man had secretly ordered his faction's members to bully him, ranging from verbal abuse to physical assault.
In the ten years he'd spent in the Mu family, Mu Yun had been bullied since childhood, which was why he had become so timid.
"Mu Yun, do you know that Miss Qin is as beautiful as a fairy? For our Mu family to marry you is a huge bargain! You're a toad trying to eat swan meat, and you still don't want it? Do you know how long the patriarch has been working on this marriage for you?"
Mu Fengyuan roared, almost hitting Mu Yun on the head as he berated him, spittle flying throughout the hall.
"Elder, I'm not deaf, could you please lower your voice?" Rolling his eyes, Mu Yun scoffed, "Miss Qin Mengyao is a beauty beyond compare. I'm just a toad, I'm not destined to eat swan meat."
"Since Miss Qin is so beautiful, then let's give her to Brother Mu Lang. He's your most beloved grandson, a perfect match, don't you think?"
"Hehe..."
Mu Yun's words fell silent, but a grating laugh rang out.
The laughter came from Qin Mengyao.
Seeing everyone's attention on her, Qin Mengyao realized her rudeness, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Meanwhile, the Elder was furious!
In the past, whenever Mu Yun made a decision, the Elder would always
give him a "reasonable" lecture, making him lose his temper and agree to everything.
Today, Mu Yun actually dared to talk back!
"Mu Yun, in your ten years with the Mu family in Beiyun City, what contributions have you made to the family? The family has raised a good-for-nothing like you for ten years, and now, when it's time for you to repay them, you dare to talk back? Do you want to be a good-for-nothing in the Mu family for the rest of your life?"
Just then, another rebuking voice rang out.

Mu Family Second Elder—Mu Fengqing!
"Oh, so that's how it is. Mu Lang, Mu Yuan, and the others seem to have eaten even more than me. Are they even more of a good-for-nothing than me? I know they haven't made any contributions to the Mu family either!"
"You can't compare to them? They will be the pillars of our Mu family in the future, geniuses. What are you?" The First Elder spoke again, his eyes filled with contempt. Had
Mu Yun taken the wrong medicine today? How dare he talk back again and again.
The two elders exchanged surprised glances.
Damn it!
Mu Yun was now completely enraged.
In his previous life, he was a Celestial King of countless great worlds. He had never been forced into such a predicament. If it weren't for the fact that his body was now completely useless, he would have already given these two old geezers a
good beating. "Clan leader, First Elder, Second Elder, please do justice for this old man!"
Just as the Second Elder stood up, a sobbing voice rang out from outside the hall.
Mu Qian, his cheeks swollen, knelt down with a thud, crying, "I just informed Young Master Mu Yun to come to the hall for a meeting, and I only gave him a slight urging. I didn't expect that little beast Mu Yun to slap me twice! I beg the clan leader, the first elder, and the second elder to uphold justice!" "
What?"
Seeing Mu Qian's swollen cheeks, the second elder pointed at Mu Yun and scolded, "You, Mu Yun! Steward Mu has been loyal to our Mu family for over twenty years, and you dare to hit him?"
"Hit him?"
Mu Yun snorted, "As a servant, he yelled and cursed at the young master, calling him a bastard and a piece of trash. Shouldn't
he be hit?" "Shut up!"
The second elder was furious. "Mu Yun, I think you've rebelled! Beating a servant, defying clan orders, and refusing to follow family rules—it seems you have no remorse!"
"Father, no matter what, I will not agree to this marriage!" Mu Yun ignored the first and second elders and spoke directly to Mu Linchen.
Mu Linchen was also somewhat embarrassed.
He hadn't expected Mu Yun to refuse so decisively today. "You scoundrel!"
A shout rang out, and a figure rose from his chair.
Hearing the voice, Mu Yun knew who it was without even looking.
It was Mu Fengyuan, the First Elder of the Mu family!
Mu Yun knew that this old man had secretly ordered his faction's members to bully him before, ranging from verbal abuse to physical assault.
In the ten years he'd spent in the Mu family, Mu Yun had been bullied since childhood, which was why he was so timid.
"Mu Yun, do you know that Miss Qin is as beautiful as a fairy? For our Mu family to marry you is a huge bargain! You're a toad trying to eat swan meat, and you still don't want it? Do you know how long the patriarch has been working on this marriage for you?"

Just then, another reprimanding voice rang out.

Mu Family Second Elder—Mu Fengqing!
"Oh dear, so that's how it is. Mu Lang, Mu Yuan, and the others seem to have eaten even more than me. Does that mean they're even more of a good-for-nothing than me? I know they haven't made any contributions to the Mu family either!"
"You think you can compare to them? They will be the pillars of the Mu family in the future, geniuses. What are you?" The First Elder spoke again, his eyes filled with contempt. Had
Mu Yun taken the wrong medicine today? How dare he contradict him again and again?
The two elders exchanged glances, both somewhat astonished.
Damn it!
Mu Yun was now completely enraged. In
his previous life, as a Celestial King of countless great worlds, he had never been forced into such a situation. If it weren't for his current crippled body, he would have already given these two old geezers a good beating.
"Clan leader, First Elder, Second Elder, please do justice for this old man!"
Just as the Second Elder stood up, a sobbing voice rang out from outside the hall.
Mu Qian, his cheeks swollen, knelt down with a thud, crying, "I just informed Young Master Mu Yun to come to the hall for a meeting, and I only gave him a slight urging.

Mu Linchen was also somewhat embarrassed.
He hadn't expected Mu Yun to refuse so cleanly and decisively today.
