Chapter 27: Kong Family? Die for me.
"Brother..."
Xu Lanqi patted her sister's messy hair without showing any disgust.
"Relax."
Mrs. Xu sneered after hearing this. Doctor Kong sounded as if he was truly repentant.
In fact, he still didn't let them go because he was afraid that their family would get divorced and he wanted to occupy the position of in-law of the Xu family.
But Xu Xinshu married the eldest son of the Kong family, not the old man Doctor Kong. What’s the use of her father-in-law being sensible?
When the old man dies, Boss Kong will still torture their daughters.
He felt that the abandoned man had a bad fate, but he also wanted to occupy the identity of Xu's son-in-law.
Bah! He is so beautiful!
Xu Lanqi tried to leave by force. Mrs. Kong and Boss Kong wanted to stop him, but were yelled back by Doctor Kong.
Two ignorant people! Who is the Zhongshu Ling? He is a close minister of the emperor!
Doctor Kong felt that his future was bleak as he even dared to abuse his own sister. They were in trouble now.
Xu Xinshu was brought back to the Xu family, washed up, and went to the main courtyard to have dinner with her brother and sister-in-law.
She walked in a little cautiously. After being locked up for more than twenty days, the lively and generous young lady began to feel inferior.
A little boy with pigtails jumped down from the stool and ran towards her:
"Aunt, you're back!"
The child grabbed the corner of her clothes and dragged her towards the dining table, with undisguised anticipation and enthusiasm.
"Today is the winter solstice, so we made a big table of dumplings!"
"My mother said that because my aunt came back, she sent someone to buy beef!"
Xu Xinshu knelt down as her little nephew pulled her. In front of her were the warm and tolerant smiles of her brother and sister-in-law.
Killing cows is illegal, so beef is a valuable commodity with a limited supply.
They took the trouble to buy something to welcome her, which showed that they welcomed her and did not mind the trouble of her returning home.
The dumplings on the table were emitting steam, and mist was forming in front of her eyes.
This is the feeling of home, this is a real family.
After settling her sister, Xu Lanqi went to the palace to thank him the next day after court.
The emperor sitting on the throne checked his conscience and felt that he should not take away the credit from his daughter.
So he said, "Actually, you should thank the eldest princess."
"ah?"
The Minister of the Central Secretariat glanced at Bei Jingchu, who was chewing his fingers until his hands were covered with saliva.
Bei Jingchu, who was cueed, was also a little confused.
"Because the little princess likes to listen to gossip recently, I collected it for the pleasure of the eldest princess."
Xu Lanqi: ...
Bei Jingchu: …
【Thank you, my dear, you are so thoughtful. 】
Xu Lanqi was shocked by this explanation, but accepted it.
So he also kowtowed to Bei Jingchu who was on the cradle.
Bei Jingchu was frightened: [Oh my god! What are you doing? I won’t lose my life, will I?]
At this time, the system prompt sounded: [Ding~ Completed the hidden mission, successfully rescued the agricultural genius Xu Xinshu, reward points: 100]
??? What?
[Are there any hidden missions?]
System: [Yes dear, gossip, ugh, a lot of the intelligence includes hidden tasks.]
[Like this time, Xu Xinshu was a genius in agriculture, but she was tortured to death by her in-laws’ ignorance before anyone could discover her talent.]
[You can earn points by rescuing her~]
Bei Jingchu was even more angry: [The Kong family is so inhumane. ]
[A talented girl who was expected to shine at any time died quietly in the backyard, killed by a liar's fabrication.]
The emperor keenly grasped the word "genius".
[Agricultural genius! An agricultural genius who can grow food and feed the entire nation! ! He almost died. ]
[Even if all their lives were put together, they wouldn't be worth as much as Xu Xinshu! ]
Emperor:!!! What did you say?
What does it mean to ensure that all people in the world have enough food to eat?
Even if the guy's words were a bit exaggerated, it only increased the grain yield per acre.
It is a great blessing for both the country and the people.
Especially since Vietnam is a major agricultural country, farmland tax is the main source of national income.
Such talent! Such talent!
He almost died because of the ignorance and prejudice of those people in the Kong family.
The emperor almost had a heart attack.
Is it the Kong family? Die for me.
After returning, Xu Lanqi discussed with his sister how to deal with the Kong family.
"Do you still have feelings for him now?"
At that time, he did agree to let his sister marry, but she chose the man herself and was very fond of her husband.
"No, I feel disgusted when I think of him now. I just want to get away from him."
Then Xu Lanqi felt relieved.
He first wanted the Kong family to sign the divorce agreement, but the Kong family definitely would not do it.
They also knew that Xu Xinshu was a noble lady and could bring them benefits.
Then we have to use force.
Doctor Kong first discovered that his once smooth official career was now encountering setbacks.
Those colleagues who always greeted him with a smile and helped him began to make things difficult for him intentionally or unintentionally.
Moreover, his superiors assigned him some thankless tasks.
This is just an appetizer.
Within a few days, historians impeached him for corruption and bribery.
What a joke, who in the court has never been corrupt?
Didn't he just accept a little gift?
Doctor Kong knew very well that it was the Minister of the Central Secretariat who was trying to operate on him.
He was very angry and confused.
Is it necessary for the quarrels between children and daughters to be dragged into the officialdom?
But no matter how unconvinced he was, he could only be thrown into the Dali Temple Prison.
After Doctor Kong was imprisoned for investigation, the Kong family finally panicked.
But Doctor Kong was the highest-ranking official in their family, and they had nowhere else to turn to for help.
Mrs. Kong suggested with a humiliated look on her face: "At worst, I can go and apologize to the head of the family and ask her to release your father."
It was as if apologizing to someone was a huge honor for her.
The Second Young Master's wife couldn't help but sigh: "You've made me suffer so much before, do you think you can solve it by just apologizing?"
"So what? I am her mother-in-law, her elder. I apologized to her and she still didn't forgive me, which means she is unfilial."
The Second Young Master's wife couldn't help it, "If you are unfilial, then so be it. How can your life be more important?"
Mrs. Kong was furious: "You're still talking back? Do you want to be kicked out of the family?"
This was a serious threat, but the Second Young Master's wife was not afraid at all. "I'll divorce you if I'm divorced. I can lose my life as your daughter-in-law. Let's just get a divorce!"
After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.
Mrs. Kong was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands.
Boss Kong supported her and said anxiously, "Why don't I go and apologize? That woman is easy to coax. The most urgent thing is to rescue my father."
Mrs. Kong sighed: "You have wronged my son."
In her mind, her son is a man, and he has to bow his head and apologize to his wife, which is simply against the will of heaven.
then……
Then they were beaten out by the Xu family.
The eldest son of the Kong family was running around in the street in front of the Xu family's house.
At the same time, he yelled at the Xu family: "Xu Xinshu, you are done. Do you know that you are playing with fire?"
"If you piss me off, then you succeed—"
Servant of the Xu family: ...It seems that they didn’t beat me hard enough.
