Going to Li's Village was just breaking away from the family. Although Cheng Mu wanted to protect him, he knew that the Yun family would not do anything to him, so the two packed up and walked towards the back mountain.

Yun Yun has confidence in her heart, and when she actually went, she was inevitably a little scared.If his dead parents knew about leaving the family, would they blame him for being unfilial?

Cheng Mu saw that Yun Yun had something on his mind, and comforted him, "After today is over, there is no need to think about so many things."

"I was just afraid that I would regret it later."

"Ayun, don't hesitate to regret anything you do, otherwise you will always worry about this matter, maybe you have followed the right path by sticking to your original idea."

Yun Yun thought the same reasoning, since he had thought about it, he should let it go and don't have so many worries.

Arriving at Li's Village after more than an hour, Yun Yun took Cheng Mu directly to the Yun family's ancestral hall.

Although this village is called Lijiacun, most of the people in the village have foreign surnames, but it was originally named after the Li family who came here first.

Before reaching the ancestral hall, several people stopped Yun Yun. They were the people in charge of the Yun family.

"Yun Yun, the patriarch wants to see you, please come with me." One of them said.

Yun Yun glanced at Cheng Mu, and seeing Cheng Mu nodding to him, she felt relieved to follow the man.When he came to the patriarch's house, Cheng Mu wanted to go in, but was stopped by those people just now.

"The patriarch said that only Yun Yun was seen, so you can wait here."

The patriarch must have something to say to him, Yun Yun said, "You wait for me here, I will come out in a while."

Ever since the patriarch fell ill, he has been at home. Yun Yun followed into the house and saw the patriarch half lying on the bed.

Patriarch Yun waved the man down, leaving Yun Yun alone.

"Patriarch, what's the matter with calling me here?" I have a good impression of the patriarch Yun Yun. When he was not sick before, he presided over the sacrifices in the village and the activities of the clan were orderly. Although he was old, he did not do things at all. Confused, not as arrogant and rude as Yun Lao.

"Ah Yun, I only heard about you leaving the family when Mr. Yun came back yesterday. Have you seriously thought about it this time?"

"Patriarch, I've made up my mind. Since the Yun family can't accommodate me, there's no need for me to stay any longer."

"Cough...cough..."

Yun Yun stepped forward to help the patriarch and patted him on the back, "Are you okay?"

The patriarch picked up the water glass from the table and took a sip of water, "It's okay, this is an old problem. I'm getting older, and my body is getting worse day by day. I've also heard about Mr. Yun. What he did was indeed wrong. Is this the Yun family's right?" Stay with you. Your father was like that at the time, and you are still like this now, and we are sorry for both of you father and son."

Yun Yun frowned, "My father, what happened back then?"

The patriarch couldn't believe it, "Your father never told you?"

Yun Yun shook her head, her father never told him anything, and before he died, he only said to let him live a good life.

"It's a long story. Since your father doesn't want to talk about it, I'll help him talk about it today. When your father was young, he was one of the most talented people in all towns. Later, when I went to take part in the provincial examination, he was supposed to be selected, but when the result came out, the son of the county magistrate’s relative bribed the examiner, and finally squeezed out the place that should have been your father.”

No wonder his father was depressed all the time when he was teaching. He escaped from the poor by instinct and became an official, but finally became a teacher. No one can bear this gap.

"However, the imperial examinations have been selecting talents for hundreds of years. How can you bribe the examiners to win the exam?"

"This is more complicated. The imperial examination is used to select talents for official positions, but the peasants have no money, so they cannot compare with the rich ones. Those rich people give the examiners private gifts, which squeezes out the places that belonged to the peasants. In this world, only money is the most fundamental thing, people die for wealth, and birds die for food."

These words really chilled Yun Yun's heart. He thought that taking the imperial examination was an opportunity to get rid of the status of a poor man, but now he saw that this opportunity would be wiped out.

"Then is there still such a situation?"

The patriarch continued, "Later, when this incident became public, the officials also paid attention to it. After a few years, there were indeed fewer, but your father is a pity."

Even if it's a pity, it's just a sigh of relief. People have already left, so it's useless to say these things.

The patriarch took out a purse from the box, "This is five taels of silver from your father, and I will give it to you now."

Yun Yun was puzzled and said, "Didn't the five taels of silver be taken away by Mr. Yun? I saw it with my own eyes at that time."

"You silly boy, this is the five taels of silver. If you go now, I won't stop you. You might be able to live a better life in other places instead of lingering in Yun's house. Your appearance now makes me feel relieved Now, your father will be happy to see his son grow up in the spirit of heaven."

The patriarch saw Yun Yun's change at a glance. He used to be a child who didn't understand anything, but now he has the appearance of an adult. Since he has his own life, what's the difference between leaving this family and not leaving.

"Patriarch, Yun Yun is here to thank you."

"Help me open the cabinet over there."

After Yun Yun opened it, there were nothing more than some clothes and books inside, "Help me find the family tree from the bottom grid."

Yun Yun found a big thick book and handed it to the patriarch. The patriarch stretched his body to open Yun Yun's page, and crossed out Yun Yun's name with a pen. "Yun Yun, go to the ancestral hall and take away your parents' ranking."

The patriarch was so reasonable, Yun Yun was a little at a loss, "Patriarch, I can't accept this money, just based on what you said to me today, it is far from comparable to this five taels of silver. Go see a doctor."

The patriarch stuffed back the purse that Yun Yun had stuffed back, "Take it, I've been sick for the past few years, and I don't know anything about your situation, and your uncle is also incompetent, I've wronged you."

The two declined at three, and finally Yun Yun stuffed the money and went out directly.

Yun Yun stayed inside for half an hour, and Cheng Mu's heart also hung for half an hour. As soon as Yun Yun came out, he stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"It's okay, I just said a few words."

"Then what's next?"

"Go to the ancestral hall."

The ancestral hall is on the other side of the village. It is a small temple funded by the Yun family. Usually someone guards it there.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Lao stopped in the middle of the road and said.

"Old Yun, the patriarch has crossed out my name from the family tree, and now you are blocking my way, I don't know in what capacity."

Mr. Yun didn't expect this kid to be so straightforward. He said that yesterday that he thought this kid would be discouraged, and he definitely wouldn't come today. Now he really left the Yun family.

"You kid, no one will protect you when you leave the Yun family. I will see how you live in the future. Even if you are beaten to death by others, no one will collect your body!"

Yun Yun sneered, "I, Yun Yun, have nothing to do with you in the future, why do you care about me so much, it's a pity that you don't have the opportunity to care if you want to."

Old Mute Yun ate Coptis chinensis, and slammed his cane on the ground, "You are shameless, you are with a man, and he will marry a concubine in the future, it depends on you."

Halfway through speaking, he felt a pain in his stomach, and Lao Yun took two steps back and sat on the ground.

"I advise you to be honest, it's not your turn to discuss our family's affairs." Cheng Mu looked at him coldly, and if he dared to speak ill of Yun Yun, he would pay the price.

"Okay, let's go quickly, I don't care about this brat."

The Yun family's ancestral hall has been cleaned all the time, and when Yun Yun arrived at the door, the people inside had already prepared the rankings.

"After burning three sticks of incense and worshiping the ancestors, you can go back."

Yun Yun knelt on the cattail fan in the middle, and after offering incense and kowtow, she went out with her rank in her arms.

When going out, the sun was shining brightly outside, Yun Yun hugged the ranker in her arms tightly, and walked side by side with Cheng Mu.
