Chapter 556 Extra: Lu Can (2)
"In any case, you are not allowed to get involved in this matter again!" Kong's father angrily issued an order, asking people to watch the young master and not let him run around.
Concubine Xian has already spoken. He cannot let his youngest son drag the entire Kong family to death.
Moreover, Lord Qu also warned him today that if he still wanted to keep the official position of his eldest son who was transferred to another post, he should keep a good control over his younger son.
Kong Zhang was locked up back in his own yard, feeling very upset.
He just couldn't bear to see Lu Can living such a good life now.
He took the thief as his mother and only recognized the Qu family as his outside family and forgot about them.
He knew that his father was angry, so he did not confront him directly. Instead, he stayed in the yard obediently for half a month.
Seeing that he did not make any noise, Kong's father let him go.
Two days later, Kong Zhang left the Kong family and waited on the road that Lu Can had to take to return to the palace.
In addition to attending the Imperial College, Lu Can also visited the Ministry of Works one day every month, so that they could put their knowledge into practice instead of just memorizing it.
Today is the day he goes to visit the Ministry of Industry.
"Fourth Prince." Kong Zhang called out to Lu Can when he saw him coming out of the Ministry of Industry's research institute.
"Who are you?" Lu Can was a little confused.
"The Fourth Prince doesn't even recognize his uncle." Kong Zhang sneered in his heart but put on a sad expression on his face.
Lu Can was a little confused. Does the Qu family have such an uncle?
After a moment, he realized that this might be a member of the Kong family.
Seeing Lu Can's alert face, Kong Zhang became more and more angry.
He sighed, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so much. If my third sister were still alive, she would definitely be happy to see how beautiful you are."
"What do you want?" Lu Can pursed his lips and looked at Kong Zhang.
He is still somewhat curious about his biological mother.
But his mother rarely mentioned it, and he never asked.
"Don't you want to meet your grandparents?" Kong Zhang coaxed.
He needed to be alone with Lu Can and break up his relationship with Concubine Xian, so that Lu Can could become the sharp knife he used to stab Concubine Xian in the future.
He has always firmly believed that the grace of giving birth is greater than the grace of raising.
Thinking of Concubine Xian being betrayed by her son whom she had raised for many years, he couldn't help but feel gloating over the misfortune.
But his imagination was interrupted by Lu Can.
"I'll go back to the palace and ask my mother for advice before I say anything." Lu Can shook his head and refused.
The fire in Kong Zhang's heart was instantly ignited.
"She killed your biological mother, why do you still listen to her in everything?"
"You're talking nonsense. My mother is a kind and gentle person. How could she kill her?" Lu Can denied it immediately.
"Kind and gentle? Haha. She ordered the little eunuch to be beaten to death that day. Is this what you call kindness and gentleness?" Kong Zhang sneered.
"If she hadn't felt guilty, why would she have beaten that eunuch to death?"
There was a surge of shock in Lu Can's heart.
What? The young eunuch was beaten to death? Didn't my mother say that he should be driven out of the palace?
But he still answered with a sullen face:
"What if he was beaten to death? He betrayed the Lord and he deserved to be beaten to death."
Kong Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect him to say that.
"The Concubine Xian is infertile. She framed your mother and made her move from a concubine to a talented woman, all for the purpose of taking you away. Now you actually acknowledge the thief as your mother. Are you worthy of your mother?" He looked at Lu Can angrily.
When Lu Can heard these things for the first time, his head was buzzing.
Seeing that he was flustered, Kong Zhang continued, "You are not her biological child. If she gives birth to her own child in the future, do you think she will still treat you well? The four concubines all have children, but she doesn't. You are just a tool for her to consolidate her position."
"No, mother is not that kind of person." Tears welled up in Lu Can's eyes and he ran towards the carriage.
He didn't want to hear any more.
He was afraid that this was all true.
If my mother has a new child, will she abandon him?
Was my mother really killed by my mother?
"Can'er, don't be afraid, your uncle is here. If Concubine Xian really has a child, you still have us." Kong Zhang chased after him.
At this time, Holly also came out.
She was in charge of bringing the Fourth Prince back to the palace, but unexpectedly she suddenly had a stomachache just now and had to let the Fourth Prince get on the carriage alone.
I didn't expect Kong Zhang to be squatting here.
She learned from the coachman that Kong Zhang had previously visited the Fourth Prince alone, and she immediately became furious.
The Fourth Prince is crying, it must be related to that guy.
After returning to the Yanxi Palace, she immediately reported the matter to Concubine Xian.
Qu Zhiwei didn't expect that the Kong family would be so bold as to come looking for Lu Can.
Last time, she didn't do anything to them because of Lu Can, but now they even dare to sow discord between them mother and son.
"Send a message to Fufeng, tell him not to hold back when dealing with the Kong family." Qu Zhiwei was burning with anger.
"Yes." Dongqing took the order and left.
Qu Zhiwei felt a little uneasy.
Will Caner distance himself from her because of this?
The more Qu Zhiwei thought about it, the sadder he felt. He was so exhausted that he developed a high fever that night.
Lu Can learned that his mother became ill because of his meeting with Kong Zhang.
I immediately went to her bedside and stood guard, crying, "Mother, please don't abandon me. I will never see them again."
Fortunately, thanks to the careful treatment of the imperial physician, Qu Zhiwei's fever subsided the next day.
Looking at Lu Can sleeping on the side of the bed, Qu Zhiwei felt inexplicably sad.
Forget it. I've raised this child for so long and his personality is most like hers. He won't be an ungrateful person.
She shouldn't think too much.
Look, this scared the child.
Unexpectedly, Qu Zhiwei recovered and Lu Can fell ill again.
At such a young age, he had to worry too much about such a heavy thing and fell ill.
Lu Li came to visit their sick mother and son.
[What's going on in Yanxi Palace recently? Why are they all sick? γ
γIs there some evil spirit? γ
Lu Li touched Lu Can's head while muttering to himself, and was relieved to see that he didn't have a fever.
Hearing Lu Li's thoughts, Lu Can's eyes lit up.
The Ninth Princess knows everything. Can he use her thoughts to find out the truth?
[There is no evil spirit. Let me see what is going on.]
[Well, it turns out that it was the Kong family who was causing trouble. Kong Zhang and Kong Fuling are indeed idiots from the same mother, and they both love to commit suicide.]
Lu Can blushed.
He knew the name Kong Fuling; she was his biological mother.
[What do you mean Kong Fuling was killed by Concubine Xian? She clearly committed suicide by herself.]
When Lu Can heard this, he immediately understood that there was something else going on.
[If she hadn't tried to kill me and Qi Xingrou first, I wouldn't have fought back. The Kong family actually dared to talk nonsense in front of Can'er. ]
Thinking about what happened back then, Lu Li felt a little embarrassed.
She had fought openly and secretly with Lu Can's biological mother. Lu Can would probably be sad if he knew.
Lu Can was stunned where he was. He didn't expect that his mother and his biological mother had no conflicts, but his favorite ninth sister had conflicts with his mother.
Given the level of favor the Ninth Princess enjoys, his mother will definitely be severely punished.
Perhaps, my mother died because of the Ninth Princess.
He stared absentmindedly at the bed curtains above his head.
How should he face the Ninth Princess in the future?
"What's wrong, Can'er?" Seeing that he seemed unhappy, Lu Li collected her thoughts and asked.
Lu Can turned his head and looked at her, muttering, "Ninth Sister, please tell me. How did my biological mother die?"
