Xue Mingyu understood Master Tian's meaning and directly said: "This old servant is getting on in years and my spirit has not been good lately. I can't manage that much. As for the family fortune the Gao family is scheming for, if it can be recovered, I don't want it; give it all to the county government office."
Before County Magistrate Gao left office, he sold all his properties in Tianfu County. His Xue family's ancestral home and business had long since been lost.
Now that County Magistrate Xu had dealt with the Sun family so decisively, he too had to show some sincerity. He couldn't take all the family fortune. Taking a little would be enough.
Seeing that Xue Mingyu was on the same page, Master Tian laughed and said, "Old Man Xue is really noble. Rest assured, both the Sun family and the Gao family will not end well."
