Kang Manyun stopped her father: "Dad! Don't you understand? The child in my belly is not Junxiong's. What will happen if you discuss it with him? What should I do if Junxiong finds out after the child is born?"
Kang Zichao was shaking with anger, unable to bring himself to strike. "You, you seem to understand better than me now! Have you ever considered the consequences of your willful behavior?"
Kang Manyun avoided answering: "Dad, I'm not willful, I'm doing this for the good of our family!"
Kang Zichao was heartbroken: "Do you know what's good for the family? Do you know what the family needs? You've abandoned the family business to start a revolution. That's not your style! Tell me, what's so good about your teacher that you'd risk your life and the lives of your entire Kang family for him?!"
If I had known that things would get out of hand, I would not have let my daughter go to a foreign school to study art. I could have hired a few private tutors at home to keep her stable. In a few years, I could have let her marry off to a son of a family I know well. It would have been great to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and take care of her husband and children!
well!
If there is any fault, the responsibility lies with him as a father.
Kang Manyun twisted her neck and retorted, "Dad, you can't live your life in such a muddle! The wealth and glory accumulated by our ancestors are nothing but wedding clothes for others under the unreasonable guns of the imperial powers! Dad, only through revolution can we truly become our own masters and gain true freedom!"
Kang Zichao angrily threw his hands up. "Freedom? I gave you too much freedom, but now look what's happening. No one in the Kang family, from top to bottom, is free anymore! Just stay home and don't go anywhere. There's martial law outside, so you can't leave even if you want to. Even with my special pass, I can't leave the city now."
Boss Kang, who loves his daughter dearly, not only couldn't bear to say a harsh word to his daughter, but also told her all his cards.
At this time, the Kang family's housekeeper came in with a cup of hot drink: "Master, Miss, this is the medicine that Doctor Zhu ordered. It has been boiled."
The strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine filled the room.
Kang Manyun asked suspiciously, "Doctor Zhu is a Western doctor, how could he prescribe Chinese medicine? I'm pregnant... can I still take medicine?"
It was because Dr. Zhu was a Western doctor that she dared to lie and say she was pregnant. If it was a Chinese doctor, he would have revealed the truth long ago after taking her pulse!
The housekeeper replied carefully, "Miss, Doctor Zhu said this medicine is a secret recipe passed down from their family, specifically for treating anxiety and palpitations. It's suitable for people of all ages and has absolutely no side effects."
Kang Zichao sighed, "Hey, Manyun, take your medicine and rest for a while. If you have anything to say, wait until you've had enough sleep and we can talk about it in the morning, okay?"
Kang Manyun pouted: "I don't want to drink it. It smells bitter."
Kang Zichao's shoulders trembled with anger. "A cup of Chinese medicine is so bitter you're afraid. You weren't afraid of losing your life following others in the revolution, and yet you told me to brave the hardships and go to the base. Are you planning to make a fool of yourself by constantly contradicting yourself like this?"
Kang Manyun's eyes lit up: "Dad, do you agree that I can leave?"
Kang Zichao glanced at the housekeeper and said unhappily, "Why are you leaving? You're so prone to falling over at the slightest gust of wind. Take the medicine first! I'll go talk to your mother about this."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Miss, drink the medicine while it's hot. Don't be angry with the master. No matter what, the master is the one who is truly doing this for your own good!"
Kang Manyun got angry and said, "I won't drink!"
The housekeeper said softly, "Miss, please don't make things difficult for us servants. I can't even do such a small thing that the master asked me to do, how can I take care of others?"
Kang Manyun had no choice but to pick up the cup and sniff it: "Uncle Zhang, I want to drink it. Then please leave the door open for me later."
The housekeeper smiled softly and said, "Miss, the master asked me to hand over all the keys to the mistress. It's really impossible for you to leave now."
Kang Manyun understood: "Uncle Zhang, I knew you were the best. I will go out with Lao Liu from the kitchen tomorrow morning."
Lao Liu was a servant in the Kang family. Every day before dawn he would go to the city gate to buy fresh vegetables from farmers outside the city.
The two large vegetable baskets on the cart are most suitable for hiding small people. The soldiers guarding the city gate all recognize the Kang family's shopping cart and rarely come forward to check.
The butler lowered his eyelids, as if in agreement.
Kang Manyun finally smiled and wrinkled her nose as she took a sip of the Chinese medicine. It wasn't as bitter as she had expected, but rather had a hint of sweetness. It seemed like it wasn't something that would harm people, so she drank it down in one breath with confidence: "Uncle Zhang, remember to call me when the time comes!"
The butler nodded slightly, walked out quietly, and closed the door gently.
It's not locked! It's not locked from the inside! There's no one guarding the door!
Kang Manyun knew very well that even if she ran out of the house at this time, she would not be able to escape the security zone, but she still refused to lie in bed obediently.
She turned off the lights and stood by the window, looking at the dark night. She sighed softly, "Alas, I'm in a bad mood, and the moon isn't even shining. Yuanwu, where are you now? Can you hear my thoughts about the moon?"
Her mumblings and the previous conversation between the father and daughter were all heard clearly by Lei Junxiong who was hiding behind the tree. He was so angry that he completely gave up the idea of rushing forward to question her.
True and false, false and true, he finally understood that Manyun did not belong to him, and it has been like this for a long time!
Kang Manyun then continued, "Yuanwu, even without the moon, our hearts are connected, aren't we? The first time I saw you, I knew you were my lover, the lover I've been searching for my whole life! Don't worry, no matter what, I will always follow in your footsteps. Wherever you go, I'll follow. I won't let you down!"
Lei Junxiong was looking at Kang Manyun from behind a tree branch. Before this, his favorite thing was to hide in this position, looking at the beauty under the moon, and loving her no matter how he looked at her.
Now, the more he listened, the more disappointed he became, and the more he watched, the more disheartened he became.
He had been by her side for so many years, he had proposed to her so many times, so what was he? Had she been laughing at him all along?
Kang Manyun held her forehead and said, "Hey, the body is the capital of revolution. I'll go lie down for a while. Yuanwu, you must wait for me! Mua~"
She blew a kiss to the moon and walked towards the bed with unsteady steps.
Soon, the sound of her even breathing could be heard.
She didn't know that the bowl of Chinese medicine she had just drunk contained a little sleeping pill and medicine that would induce spotting.
The pain in her abdomen made it difficult for her to sleep peacefully, and she tossed and turned from time to time.
Lei Junxiong stepped through the window, came to the bed and looked at it quietly. This body that fascinated him still made his heart beat faster.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a slight noise outside the window. The servants of the Kang family had gotten up.
Lei Junxiong no longer hesitated, took out his pistol, pointed it at the back of Kang Manyun's head, and fired two shots.
The gunshot in this place will definitely kill you, but it won't affect your makeup when you are embalmed.
She will always be the most beautiful in his heart.
