A cold look flashed in Kang Tong's eyes.

Isn't it because you're used to it?

When my mother was alive, she treated my father with respect and treated him with the utmost respect.

To outsiders, the parents' love is enviable.

But Kang Tong knew that behind this love was the mother's dedication and the father's disregard.

Others say that my father is in a high position and has great power, but he should have been more tactful and flexible and could have reached a higher position, but he insisted on having his own way and now ends up like this.

She has no good choice in choosing a husband!

Kang Tong doesn't want to get married because she has to take care of her younger brother and can't let her stepmother get the upper hand.

But now it seems that my stepmother is stupid, and my younger brother is growing up and becoming more mature.

So Kang Tong thought that if there was a suitable and good enough man, she should consider him.

But are there any outstanding men in Liaodong?

It is one thing for her not to want to get married, but it is another thing for her to have no choice. Therefore, Kang Tong has a deep resentment about coming to Liaodong.

But she is much more cunning than Mrs. Kang.

She smiled and said, "Mother is just joking with you!"

She couldn't show any hostility towards her stepmother, otherwise her father would dislike her.

Kang Tong knew that his father was very old-fashioned in some aspects.

"You spent a long time with Miss Song today?"

"Well, my mother was not feeling well. She only said a few words to Sister Song before asking me to take her away."

Governor Kang frowned.

Obviously, he was not happy with his wife's neglect.

After all, that was the woman brought by the King of Zhenbei.

No matter how bad it is, there is nothing wrong with the etiquette of entertaining guests.

Forget it, his wife, who comes from a noble family, is inevitably a little spoiled.

Fortunately, his daughter has grown up and is capable of handling everything, becoming a good helper to him.

"What do you think of her?" Governor Kang asked again.

Kang Tong spoke in a gentle voice, "My daughter and mother have different ideas. I think Sister Song is generous, simple and natural, and knows how to act appropriately. She is no worse than a lady from a noble family."

She is much better than her stepmother, a noble lady.

"That's more like it." Governor Kang stroked his goatee. "I was wondering, how could his taste be so bad? Tongtong, did you get along well with Miss Song today? Did you neglect her?"

"Sister Song and I hit it off right away and had a great time talking," Kang Tong said. "We were so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot the time. I was thinking, if I had the chance, I'd invite her home again. It's rare for me to meet such a caring sister in Liaodong."

At the same time, her mind was racing.

From what my father said, he praised Master Fu San very much.

She'd better try some more tricks.

"That's good, that's good." Governor Kang said, "Remember, you must be on good terms with her in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad. Don't worry. But Dad, can you tell me why? Explain it to me clearly so I can find the right balance when interacting with her in the future. Otherwise, if I'm too enthusiastic, it'll seem like I'm trying to please her, which would be inferior; if I'm not enthusiastic enough, it'll seem like I'm being indifferent and distant, and I'm afraid I'll let Dad down..."

Looking at his now grown and well-organized daughter, Governor Kang hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "Dad is telling you this. Don't tell anyone else, including your mother. Understand?"

He was also a little worried about his wife's scheming.

Kang Tong sneered in his heart. Only now did he know who was reliable?

It can be seen that men do not fail to understand women, but because they are blinded by lust and like young and beautiful women, they turn a blind eye to women's shortcomings.

Kang Tong has never been able to accept the fact that Governor Kang likes his step-wife.

But she didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face, and said solemnly: "Dad, don't worry, I will remember everything you entrusted to me. Even if someone put a knife to my neck, I won't tell anyone."

Governor Kang then said, "You've heard of the King of Zhenbei, right?"

Kang Tong looked puzzled, but nodded: "The King of Zhenbei is feared by the world, and his military exploits are illustrious. Everyone knows him."

She had more than just heard of it?

She felt uncomfortable just hearing this name.

Dad thought she knew nothing about the outside world, but in fact she knew everything about the overall situation in the court.

She also knew that her father came to Liaodong because of the defeat of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhenbei.

"Master Fu San is the missing King of Zhenbei."

After hearing this, Kang Tong covered his mouth in shock.

This time she wasn't pretending, she was genuinely shocked.

The King of Zhenbei actually became a bandit?

It's ridiculous.

Governor Kang, however, was full of praise for Master Fu San: "Wherever he goes, he's a rare talent. Now that he has such a huge influence in Liaodong, I wonder if he'll have an impact on the overall situation in the future. But the main thing is, I think he can accomplish what he wants to do. It's a pity that he was just blindly obedient and had no intention of seeking power himself..."

At this point, he suddenly realized that he had said too much, and hurriedly said: "Tongtong, just remember what Dad said and get along well with the women brought by Master Fu San."

This person should handle emotional matters differently from others.

"I think that no matter what Miss Song's background is, if he likes her, he will marry her home."

"I see. Then, is it possible that Miss Song will become the Princess of Zhenbei in the future?"

At such a young age, she is already a princess of superb status. How enviable.

"Yes." Governor Kang said, "So it's always right for you to be friends with her."

"Okay, I'll listen to Dad. I'll definitely get along well with Miss Song. As for Mother...would you mind reminding her again...I saw Miss Song was dressed simply today, so I had someone give her some jewelry...I meant well, and it wasn't anything special, but considering your status, the jewelry she gave me might be a bit underwhelming. No wonder Miss Song didn't take any of it with her when she left..."

Is there such a thing?

Governor Kang began to get angry. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Kang Tong said timidly: "Dad, calm down. It's all my fault."

Tell him earlier?

Would it be helpful to tell him earlier?

He married a stupid woman and treated her like a treasure. Isn't this his retribution?

"Forget it, I don't blame you. From now on, you should worry more about the family affairs; let your mother free up her hands and take care of your brother."

"yes."

Kang Tong achieved his goal, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When she lay in bed at night, she couldn't help but start thinking about Master Fu San.

He turned out to be the King of Zhenbei, and judging from his father's implicit words, he had a lot of praise for him.

No matter what the circumstances, no one has ever questioned the ability of King Zhenbei.

Kang Tong thought of the handsome and noble man she saw when she sent Song Qingci out, and her hands couldn't help but clutch the quilt tightly around her.
