Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Fan Jing is Fan Jing
The next day, Kang He and Fan Jing went to find Yao Yuan and secretly found out about the young lady's origins.
Kang He and Fan Jing did not come to tell him, and Yao Yuan also wanted to ask. The young lady was placed in the martial arts hall. Although it was not publicized, she was still arranged at the end of the female dormitory. But Yao Yuan was the director of the hall, so how could he hide it from him?
After hearing the whole story, Yao Yuan slammed the table and cursed in his heart, wondering who in the county was so blind as to use such a crooked way to harm his relatives.
Now that the Fan family has several close relatives and they all look up to them, they will never tolerate such a scheming person cheating.
Yao Yuanli agreed to go and investigate.
"Go and see that young lady."
Kang He and Fan Jing came out from the escort agency, and Fan Jing said something coldly.
"What?"
"If you don't go and calm her down, and she notices something's wrong and tips off the people behind him, how will we be able to figure out who's behind this?"
Kang He knew this was the truth, but he refused to move. He looked at Fan Jing and said, "Are you asking me to sell my body?"
Fan Jing squinted at him and said, "I asked you to say a few words to her, where did you get the idea of selling out your beauty?"
Kang He sulked and said, "If you don't coax me a few words, I won't go."
Seeing this, Fan Jing was silent for a moment, then softened his tone: "You go ahead, I'll wait outside."
"You're just trying to coax me?"
Kang He raised his eyebrows and snorted, "It's a good thing I was the one who fell in love with you first. If you had fallen in love with me, I wonder what you would do."
Well, Kang He went to the place where the young lady was staying. He put on a complete show and went there secretly, avoiding anyone.
"It's a pity that I wanted to help you, young lady, but my family was poor in the past and I married into a family. Although I have a few opportunities outside, I can't make decisions on many things. My lady, don't worry. My husband may seem a little fierce, but he is actually a kind person and will not harm you. You can live in peace."
When the young lady saw Kang He coming, she felt relieved. She was just afraid that she would be detained here and unable to do anything.
Seeing Kang He and her bringing food and coming like thieves, she knew that the matter was almost done.
She said gently, "I have no one to rely on, but I am fortunate to have met such a kind and virtuous man as you. I really cannot repay you enough. Yesterday's incident happened so suddenly. I wonder if you will misunderstand me and blame me when I get home. I will explain it to you when I see you."
"There are few people in the world as brave and righteous as you. If you and your husband become estranged because of me, I would rather die than cause him any trouble."
"I tossed and turned last night, my heart aching with worry. In my dreams, I recalled all the things I encountered on the road yesterday. Fortunately, even in my dreams, I could still see my husband's heroic figure. I finally got a moment of peace..."
The young lady's eyes were filled with shyness and timidity: "Today I finally get to see you, my dear. I really feel..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but lowered her head slightly, revealing half of her shy face, which was really pitiful.
It is true that this young lady is weak, but she is also a first-rate actress. She praises Kang He and shows both love and admiration for him. She knows quite well how to coax a man.
If an ordinary man saw such a delicate and beautiful young lady, treated her with such admiration and gave her secret signals repeatedly, how many of them could control themselves?
Fan Jing was in the dark outside the house, watching what was happening inside.
Every move of the young lady fell into his eyes. Fan Jing's eyebrows moved involuntarily, and he couldn't help but review his past interactions with Kang He.
It would have been fine if he didn't know how other girls and boys treated Kang He, but after comparing them this time, he realized how cold and hard he was.
It’s no wonder Kang He said before that he doesn’t know how to coax people.
If he had really taken a fancy to Kang He first, it would have been difficult for him to win her over without his eloquence and inability to say sweet words.
On second thought, it seemed like I was deceived back then.
The door creaked slightly, and Kang He came out of the house. He looked at Fan Jing standing quietly in the dark from a distance. He glanced around and walked over quickly.
"What are you doing here? Are you angry again? But let me be clear, I only went here because you asked me to."
When Fan Jing saw Kang He coming over, he came back to his senses and shook his head.
"Then why are you so absent-minded?"
Fan Jing didn't say anything and walked forward. Seeing this, Kang He followed him.
After leaving the dormitory, Fan Jing suddenly said, "Am I really not good at coaxing people?"
Kang He's eyebrows twitched when he heard this: "Why are you saying that for no reason? I was just joking, why do you want it to take so long?"
Fan Jing looked at Kang He: "I just think that what you said might be right."
Recently, he has seen Dafu gaining fame and fortune, his eyes and eyebrows gradually mature, and Xiaofu becoming lively and cheerful, and also growing a lot taller.
Huang and Kanghe have been together for more than ten years. Looking back, I didn't expect that so many years have passed.
More than ten years is not a short time, but when you look at a lifetime, it is not long either.
He's been reflecting a lot these days. Having children simply means they spend more time with you when you're young. As they grow up, they won't be dependent on you for everything. They'll have their own careers, start families, and have their own children... Gradually, they'll spend less and less time with the parents they once loved so dearly.
On the other hand, isn’t this the case with Father Fan and Mrs. Chen?
And the person who has been with you the longest may be the one you sleep with.
For this reason, he felt that perhaps he should change his temperament. Over the years, he had relied too much on Kang He, but seemed to have given him too little.
It was a bit awkward to think that Kang He had to keep such a boring person like him for the next few decades...
After hearing Fan Jing's words, Kang He frowned slightly. He didn't know why Fan Jing felt so touched, but he couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
"Over the years, I've met so many different kinds of people, but none of them are better at coaxing than you.
Others may be able to flatter and use sweet words, but such flattery is too easy, too frivolous. It is indeed easy to flatter some people, but those with sharp eyes and a clear mind, those who are calculating, will see through these tricks at a glance. Unless they are willing to be flattered, they will find such flattery frivolous.
Kang He said, "You are different. You never say nice things to me, but you always do things that benefit me. If you are sincere, doing is always the best, while talking is the worst."
He held Fan Jing's hand and said, "Thank you for wanting to change for me. I just want to tell you that you are already very good in my heart. There is no need to change. Fan Jing is Fan Jing."
Fan Jing's eyes moved, and he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Kang He.
He thought that there would never be another person in the world who could tolerate him as much as Kang He.
About two days later, Yao Yuan acted quickly and told Kang and Fan Jing the news as soon as he got it.
"This young lady's surname is Qin, and her name is Yingniang. Her ancestral home is indeed from Fang County, but she came to Luan County several years ago, not just two days ago.
Her story was half true, half false. She had come to live with relatives after her family fell on hard times, but they had already moved away. Later, she met her current lover, who settled her down there, treating her like a concubine and keeping her in a small alley in the city, with two servants to look after her.
Therefore, when my brother saw that she hadn't touched the water, he knew that the play was not done well enough."
It was obvious that she was not wronged, and she turned out to be such a person with ulterior motives.
Kang He couldn't help but ask, "Who is her lover then?"
"He has quite a background, actually. His surname is Qi, and his name is Qi Tian. He was originally just a merchant family in the city, neither rich nor poor. But a few years ago, I don't know how he made it big. He started a medicinal candle business and made quite a lot of money."
"Her husband is also a capable man. He manages most of the family's business. The man who works in the county government office often visits this family. He is quite famous and their business is booming."
Kang He frowned upon hearing this and asked uncertainly, "Is the surname of this Qijia man's husband Zou?"
"Exactly. This Zou is an unlucky man. He used to work hard for the family business, but her husband is not an honest man. He uses the family money to keep prostitutes and entertainers. After asking around, I heard there are three or four like Yingniang."
Kang Heyuan was unfamiliar with Qi Tian's name because he didn't know Zou Fulang's husband's surname. But when he heard the word "Yao Zhu", he guessed most of it at once.
When I heard that this was Mr. Zou's family, I was even more certain.
Seeing Kang He and Fan Jing's expressions change, Yao Yuan wondered, "Could it be that my brother and his wife are acquainted with the Qi family? Is there some grudge that would have this Qi resort to such a wicked trick?"
Kang He said, "Indeed, we did know each other, but it was many years ago. At that time, your brother and I were still relying on hunting for a living. We would get some honey in the mountains and exchange it for some money in the city. That's how we met Mr. Zou.
At that time, Mr. Zou and Qi Tian had not yet made their fortunes, and the two families had a good relationship for two or three years. Later, when their families became more powerful, the relationship faded.
Kang He also talked about what happened a few days ago when Zou Fulang’s housekeeper came to give gifts.
Yao Yuan's face lit up with anger after hearing this. "How can this guy be so shameless! In the past, he kept his distance from people because they were inferior to him, but now that he sees someone is getting along, he's all over me again. When people don't buy into his rhetoric, he gets angry and sets them up. He's truly a mean-spirited person!"
"If you ask me, it's a good thing he looked down on others, otherwise, I don't know how much trouble such a villain would have caused."
Kang He didn't expect things to turn out like this. After thinking about it, he didn't blame the Qi family.
How could I not be angry after knowing the truth? No matter what happened today, we had lived in harmony in the future. Even if it broke up later, we didn't tear each other apart in public, so why resort to such despicable means?
Yao Yuan said fiercely, "Brother, your husband is unworthy to intervene in this matter. I will find someone to give this Qi guy a hard time. He still thinks we are easy to bully."
Kang He saw a fierce look in Yao Yuan's eyes and advised him, "Don't resort to violence. If anything goes wrong, you'll suffer the consequences of the lawsuit!"
"So what? Isn't it that we have to suffer this loss in silence? Isn't it too easy for that grandson?"
Kang He, however, was not the type of person who would simply suffer a loss. He never believed in the saying that suffering a loss is a blessing. He only knew that if someone bullied him, he would not fight back and would only give them the opportunity to take advantage of him.
"Even if he uses this evil trick, we may still be able to do something else."
After saying that, he whispered to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan's brows relaxed after hearing this: "Brother, you must have a way. I'll go and teach my subordinates how to do it."
That day, Yingniang left the martial arts hall and secretly went to find Qi Tian to report to him the results of the past few days.
Hearing that Kang He went to see Ying Niang privately every now and then, he was already a little shaken, and he was very happy.
"For someone who comes to your house like this, don't look at how much he pretends to be Liu Xiahui on the outside. In reality, he just doesn't have the opportunity. Once he gets the chance, he will be more willing to steal than anyone else."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting to see how he could pretend when he had the upper hand.
Yingniang's body softened and she sat down in Qi Tian's arms. "I've been living in that den of tigers and wolves, feeling uneasy every day. If it weren't for your great cause, how could I be willing to do these things?"
Qi Tian coaxed the person in his arms and said, "I know you've been through a lot these days, and you're the only one who can share my worries. Unlike the tiger at home, who only knows how to lecture me all day long, I've long been tired of him.
If it weren't for the fact that I haven't acquired the property yet, I wouldn't even want to look at that face again. I've endured everything so that I can live with you in wealth and glory."
Yingniang felt sweet after hearing this, and she leaned against Qi Tian affectionately: "You are for me, and I am for you."
Qi Tian smiled and moved closer to Ying Niang: "You said you were feeling uneasy. I'll give you a good rub."
Well, the two of them got entangled in each other.
After Qi Tian met Yingniang, he returned home with a rosy face. When he was about to arrive at the house, the housekeeper came to him and told him that her husband wanted him to come over.
He frowned when he heard this. Seeing that it was getting late, he was afraid that this man would keep him for dinner.
He could eat the meal, but he would have no peace if he rested in one place. He had just eaten some meat outside, but he was already full, so how could he still have the energy to think about it? He felt annoyed and refused to go forward to deal with it.
"Tell him I've been out to close the shop and am tired, so I'm going back to my study to rest."
The housekeeper said, "Sir, you'd better go over there. It seems your husband is angry."
Qi Tian frowned: "Why is he always angry all day long?"
Although he said this, he still didn't dare not go, and went to the garden with a lot of annoyance in his mind.
As I walked over here and entered the house, a stack of booklets was thrown at me in the face.
"Bah, you bastard! You're using the money I worked so hard to earn to support a bunch of whores out there! Aren't you afraid you'll die of syphilis?"
"You're quite generous, spending one or two hundred strings of cash per year, and raising just a few litters alone costs thousands! I'm telling you why the accounts don't add up, and I'm telling you to move the money out to raise them!"
Mrs. Zou was so angry that her face turned pale. Although she knew that her husband was not a stable person and often had affairs with other women, she just thought that he had a lover in the brothel.
When his family was looking for a bride for him, they rejected other good-looking women and only chose this girl with a good appearance. His family advised him that it was difficult to keep such a woman, but he did not listen. After one or two years of marriage, this woman ran away.
At that time, she already had a child and was busy with business. Her focus was not entirely on her husband like a newlywed, so she turned a blind eye to it, as long as the matter was not exposed.
In the past few years, she made a comeback with her skills in making medicinal candles, and her husband treated her politely, so they lived in peace and comfort for a few years.
The business had been on the decline, and the Magistrate of Kaoshan County was about to take office. She was feeling very anxious, but suddenly she got the news that her husband had kept a mistress in a dark alley.
Mr. Zou checked the news and found out that not only did it really happen, but he also uncovered a whole bunch of information!
After another check of the accounts, I found that the money that didn’t match had gone to these places!
She was furious and collected the evidence before confronting her useless husband.
Qi Tian was shocked when he heard this. He was about to get angry after being hit, but when he heard his husband yelling, he immediately lost his momentum.
"You, where did you hear such nonsense from anyone? Even if it's not true, when business gets big, people are most happy to see family discord. They are deliberately putting the blame on me to drive a wedge between you and me."
Zou Fulang sneered: "You dare to do it but you still don't dare to admit it. Apart from giving birth to that little thing, do you have any resemblance to a man?"
"I've already sorted out all the accounts. It's a shame you still have the nerve to talk to me!"
"I'll give you three days to clean out that bunch of whores. From now on, I won't care about you spending the money you owe the family, but don't even think about withdrawing a penny from the shop under any name!"
Mr. Zou said sternly, "If you can't bear to part with those prostitutes, don't even think about using a penny of the money in the family account. Just use your own shop, which doesn't even make a hundred strings of cash a year, to support your beloved daughters!"
Qi Tian was really anxious when he saw that his husband was going to cut off his money.
Lian Shi begged for mercy, "They saw that I was generous and racked their brains to coax me, and I was soft-hearted and fell for their tricks. If you don't like it, I will just drive them away. Why are you so angry and ruining our relationship?"
Zou looked coldly at the red mark under his collar and spat, "I see it's a consensual thing. You don't need any coaxing. Just take off your pants. You can't stand your own thing!"
Seeing that the man was really angry, Mr. Zou drove him out.
Qi Tian was really angry and confused. He had been raising it for two or three years without anyone noticing, so how could it suddenly get to him?
He couldn't help but suspect his men, so he went back to the house at night and called all his lackeys to beat them up, making them confess which one of them had taken advantage of the man in the main house and betrayed him.
How could the people below know that they were beaten and scolded for nothing, and they felt wronged and resentful.
