Chapter 501: The Betrayal Scumbag 3
"Clap!"
Mother Kong couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed forward to slap her son twice: "You have done nothing wrong, why do you blame others and accuse Chunxi with such dirty words?"
"Kong Lishen! Kong Lishen, how could I give birth to a shameless son like you? Get out of here right now. If you don't want to piss me off to death, then get out now and don't let me see you again."
"Mom, please don't forget that I am your son," Kong Lishen stood up, "I just can't understand what I am in your and my father's hearts. I am obviously your biological son, but you only know how to protect Jiang Chunxi."
"I'm telling you, there is absolutely no way I can marry Jiang Chunxi. If you want to force me to marry her, you can only carry my corpse to the wedding."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Lishen turned around and walked out quickly.
"What a wicked creature! What a wicked creature!" Mother Kong was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet. "Why did I give birth to such a wicked creature? This wicked creature will not stop until he piss me off to death!"
Although Father Kong didn't say anything, his situation was not much better than Mother Kong's. Then Father Kong looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "Chunxi, don't worry. Your aunt and I will never allow Li Shen to do anything wrong. Li Shen's wife can only be you. This cannot be changed in any way."
Jiang Chunxi didn't plan to say anything at this time. It seemed as if Mr. Kong didn't understand what she was saying. What else could she say?
But why was Kong's father so persistent? If she was like the original owner's previous life, refusing to cancel the engagement no matter what, then it would be understandable that Kong's father didn't understand what she was saying.
But she had clearly expressed that she didn't want to marry Kong Lishen, so why did Kong's father insist on letting Kong Lishen marry her?
Jiang Chunxi didn't think that Kong's father was reluctant to let her go. He treated her like his own daughter, which was why he refused to cancel the engagement.
If Kong's father really loved her, then how could the original owner end up like that in her previous life, and how could she pretend to be blind and not see the tricks used by the woman Kong Lishen married.
When Jiang Chunxi brought her maid Yaoying back to the courtyard where she lived, Yaoying said indignantly, "Miss, how could the eldest master do that? You and the eldest master have been engaged since you were young, and now he wants to cancel the engagement without considering your reputation at all. Does he want to force you to death?"
Yaoying has been serving the young lady since she was a child, and she knows best how much the young lady likes the eldest master. Now that the eldest master wants to cancel the engagement and marry someone else, isn't that the same as asking for the young lady's life?
Of course Yaoying couldn't understand why the eldest master changed his mind so suddenly. It was obvious that he had always liked the young lady and had been looking forward to marrying her after she reached the age of 15.
But why, after the young lady reached the age of 15, the eldest son fell in love with someone else and wanted to cancel the engagement with her?
It is said that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. But according to Yaoying, is a man's heart more like a needle in the sea?
"Miss, why don't you say anything?" Yao Ying continued with a worried look on her face, "If you feel sad, just cry it out. Don't pretend that nothing happened. I am really scared when I see you like this."
"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "Cry, why should I cry? Is a heartless man like Kong Lishen worth my sadness? A man who changes his mind is as disgusting as shit in the toilet. I don't even have time to vomit, so how can I cry for Kong Lishen's change of heart?"
"Ah!" Yaoying opened her mouth and was completely stunned.
Jiang Chunxi was too lazy to say anything more to Yaoying. She just cast a loyalty talisman on Yaoying and then waved her hand to let her go. She wanted to be alone.
Even though the original owner was an orphan, she had a lot of assets. After all, her mother's dowry plus her father's property together amounted to a very large dowry.
Ever since she was brought to the Kong family, all the assets belonging to the original owner were handed over to Kong's mother to manage.
I believe it would be hard for anyone to be willing to spit out such a big piece of fat.
In addition, the Jiang family is a well-known scholarly family in the Jiangnan area, and many of their members are officials. If the Kong family breaks off the engagement, the Kong family's reputation in Jiangnan will be ruined.
What kind of place is Jiangnan? It is a place where many literati come from. Officials fear the literati's pens the most. After all, even the emperor cherishes his reputation, let alone officials.
So whether for the sake of money or to maintain their reputation, Kong's father and mother would not allow their son to cancel the engagement. But if she was willing to degenerate and become a concubine, that would be another matter.
It's no wonder that the original owner had such an ending in her previous life, because the Kong family never thought of letting her live and return to Jiangnan. As long as the original owner died, the Kong family could throw whatever dirty water on her, especially since the original owner was defiled and died. Neither the Jiang family nor the original owner's maternal grandfather's family would think of investigating the original owner's death.
This was the case in ancient times. A woman's reputation and the reputation of her family were valued more than anything else. The original owner had suffered such a miserable death in her previous life. The Jiang clan and the original owner's grandfather's family would only think about covering up the real cause of the original owner's death. How could they go to the trouble of investigating whether there was any conspiracy behind the original owner's death?
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered.
What a jackal, tiger, and leopard family! They fooled the original owner like a fool, but they really fooled the original owner. Otherwise, the original owner would not have only wanted to leave the Kong family and not thought about revenge at all.
At the same time, in Confucius' mother's courtyard.
"Master, what do you think we should do with that evil son?" Kong's mother was very calm at this moment. She didn't look like she was about to have a mental breakdown because of her son's anger. "The engagement cannot be cancelled. If it is cancelled, are we going to watch Chunxi's dowry slip away from our hands?"
"You know, your official duties over the years, as well as our lavish expenses, are all maintained by Chunxi's dowry. Without Chunxi's dowry in my hands, would our family have been able to live so comfortably over the years?"
"So no matter what, we can't let Li Shen do whatever he wants, otherwise our family will starve!"
Although my husband is a fourth-rank official in the capital, what can he do with his annual salary?
Before her husband became an official, the Kong family was at most a well-off family, so the family financial resources were very limited. If it weren't for Chunxi's dowry, Kong's mother probably wouldn't even be able to afford a decent set of clothes to go out and deal with people.
It was also because of this that Kong's mother never thought of letting her son break off the engagement, and even less of killing Jiang Chunxi. After all, if Jiang Chunxi was killed, the Jiang family members would definitely come to the capital to ask for Jiang Chunxi's dowry. You know, Jiang Chunxi's dowry was originally registered with the Jiangnan government.
