"Okay, let's go!"
"Master Kang is not afraid?"
"You are not afraid of me, why should I be afraid of you!" She has space, so even if she is really trapped, she can still run away.
After closing the door of the secret room, Hou Zhensheng lit a candle. The two sat opposite each other at a long table.
Kang Yueran asked again, "Did you guess I would come?"
"Yes! Although there are many people in the Black Dragon Stronghold, they are not well-informed. If you want to inquire about Duke Lu's affairs, I am the most suitable person to ask."
"Now that I'm here, what do you want to tell me?"
Hou Zhensheng did not answer. "If Prince Ping becomes emperor, you must protect my daughter and grandson, as well as the property of my first wife. All the property of my first wife." He emphasized the word "all" and even gritted his teeth.
"No problem! I will restore the first house to its original state before you split up the family. Whoever took your property will be made to spit it out. I will also recommend a good governor to Ningzhou to protect your daughter and grandson from being bullied."
"What if my daughter wants to remarry?"
"You're also going to provide a son-in-law?" "Master Hou, I don't know your daughter, but I respect her choice. If she doesn't want to remarry, she can manage the family business and accompany her son to adulthood. If she meets someone she's destined to marry again, that's up to her."
Things change constantly, and I can't guarantee a lifetime of prosperity for them, but I will do my best to protect them."
Hou Zhensheng was very satisfied with this answer. His daughter didn't want to remarry, she just wanted to keep the family business and pass it on to her grandson. But his daughter was only in her early twenties, and he was worried that Kang Yueran would persuade her to remarry. "Okay! Your words are enough!"
He picked up the water jar and poured some water into the inkstone. While grinding the ink, he said word by word: "Back then, Duke Lu saw that I could do business, so he asked Li Yuan, the then governor of Ningzhou, to persuade me to join his army. I refused, so they were furious and sent people to kill my son-in-law.
With such a grudge against me, I became even more resistant. Li Yuan then joined forces with the side branches of the Hou family and started to plot like a clown to seize the property of my eldest wife.
The night I learned my daughter was pregnant, I cried and laughed at the same time. Standing before my wife's tablet, I made the painful decision to sacrifice my family fortune to save our child. I've counted these six years, two hundred and forty-nine days, hoping for the day I could strike the last blow.
He picked up the pen, licked the ink, spread out the paper and started writing. He wrote for more than two quarters of an hour before stopping.
