Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 461
And the tough attitude, the quick action, and the ruthless method have never been encountered before.

Xu Zhiyao was very curious, and originally wanted to inquire, but was slapped down by his mentor, telling him to keep his mind off his own business and be careful not to lose his life.

You must know that his mentor was a high-ranking Beijing official back then, and being able to say such words is enough to show that the person who gave the order must not be an ordinary person, how dare he ask a word more?

However, the mentor also revealed that the other party didn't want Kong Yuan's life. At that time, Kong's family would come to him and find a way to fool him. Just wait a few days before releasing him.

In this matter, it is a dead order not to let people go, but other than that, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Xu Zhiyao didn't even need to think about it, so he put the matter of opening the mountain on Kong Jian's head in exchange, and he could only accept it without any room for refutation.

If you want a son, you still want money. He can figure out this deal.

Although Kong Jian was upset, after listening to Xu Zhiyao's words, he didn't dare to refute even half a word, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Kong knows that the adult has taken a very high risk, so let's take a few more days, as long as Yuan'er is fine."

"Don't worry," Xu Zhiyao said, "Which one of the things I promised didn't come true? Master Kong just needs to go home with peace of mind and wait."

Kong Jian got up and bowed again, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhiyao accepted his thanks with peace of mind, looked up at Kong Jian's face, and caressed the rim of the cup with his fingers, "However, I still want to remind Master Kong that if you love your son again, you should be disciplined." The place still needs to be properly disciplined, otherwise one day there will be a catastrophe, but no one will be able to protect it."

In Ningcheng, everything can be taken care of, but outside of this land, how many people know who the Kong family is?

Places like the capital city, where a casually dropped archway may hit the royal family and nobles, let alone presumptuous places.

Although his teacher's words were vague, Xu Zhiyao still got a taste from them.

The person who ordered this time should be related to the capital, and he came for the Kong family.At this time, if you don't be a man with your tail between your legs, wouldn't you take the initiative to pass the knife to others?
"Your Excellency is right," Kong Jian gritted his teeth, and said bitterly, "After Yuan'er returns to the mansion this time, I will definitely teach him a good lesson and release him after he has been disciplined."

If you dare to run around and do something rebellious, you will break his legs!
Xu Zhiyao looked at the way he gritted his teeth, and smiled, not paying attention.

"However, my son is Master Kong's family affairs, so I won't interfere," he got up and strode out, "I still have some things to do, let's go first, Master Kong can do as he pleases."

Kong Jian hurriedly cupped his hands, "My lord, go slowly."

It wasn't until Xu Zhiyao's back disappeared at the corner of the corridor that Kong Jian heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking back at the housekeeper, he frowned, "This unlucky boy who doesn't care! It seems that he is given too much freedom on weekdays, and he can't even tell what he can do and what he can't do. After he returns home, you will personally Just keep an eye on it, don't go on a business trip again."

Butler: "Understood."

It was getting late, and Xu Zhiyao obviously didn't intend to leave food for the two of them, so they didn't stay any longer, and asked the boy guarding the door to take them out.

Passing a rockery, he accidentally heard two discussions behind him about the matter of Kong and Fan. Kong Jian couldn't help pricking up his ears and listening attentively.

"Hey, do you know that Young Master Kong and Miss Fan are going to agree on a wedding date?"

"Who doesn't know about this? Everyone said it was a good marriage!"

"What's the matter? From my point of view, the fates of the two may collide."

"You can't talk nonsense," but he couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by that?"

"I also heard from the monks in the monastery when I was a child, saying that a good relationship will make two people better, and a bad relationship will only consume each other. Think about it, Mr. Kong's family had a lot of confusion before, but nothing happened. It just so happens that after Miss Fan's accident happened, he also got into bad luck, so doesn't that mean that the two of you are not suitable?"

"Really or not, did Miss Fan really collide with something unclean?"

"Nine out of ten are true..."

The more the two talked, the more they talked, and there was no scruples in their words. The boy who led the way suddenly changed his face and coughed heavily, interrupting their conversation.

They didn't seem to have expected that the partition wall has ears, so they were too frightened to breathe out, and huddled despondently behind the rockery.

The boy shouted, "Have you finished your work and are you just chewing your tongue here? Be careful, I will report to your lord and pull out your tongues, let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense!"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault for talking too much, Master Kong forgive me."

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally each slapped themselves, and ran away quickly.

The servant looked at Kong Jian, "Master Kong, I'm sorry, but the servants are talking nonsense, I will discipline them well later."

"It's okay." Kong Jian twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "Let's go."

As early as when he heard the conversation between the two, Kong Jian's face was already pale, his dark and semi-cloudy eyes were extremely dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage, walked through the busy city, and returned to his study that he regained his senses a little.

In fact, what those two said was not unreasonable.

Kong Jian has always been in awe of ghosts and gods. Before going out to discuss business, he would go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, praying to the Buddha to bless the business and the wealth.

Before the Fan family had an accident, although he cared about it, he didn't think about it too much. Anyway, he just waited a little longer before discussing the marriage date; now it seems that being tied to the Fan family again will do them more harm than good.

If they can get married, the Fan family can indeed give them a lot of convenience in the business field; but in the final analysis, they still have to rely on their own family.

The foundation of the Kong family cannot be lost, and the luck cannot be disturbed!

Thinking of this, Kong Jian suddenly narrowed his eyes and made up his mind——

This marriage has to be retired, and the sooner the better.

……

In early winter, the temperature drops day by day, and the thin quilt can no longer withstand the cold, so it is necessary to change into a thicker quilt.

The sky that had been gloomy for a long time finally began to rain in the evening. It hit the wind chimes at the corners of the eaves of the Ranxiang courtyard and fell among the half-withered leaves, making the whole courtyard look a bit sluggish.

But the people in the room were very excited, and some couldn't even believe it.

Fan Ran grabbed Jiajia's wrist and exerted some strength, but her lowered voice couldn't cover up the corners of her lips, "Are you serious, someone from the Kong family is here, and they are discussing about retiring the engagement?!"

Her eyes are brighter than the candlelight under the corridor.

Jiajia endured the pain, nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it with my own ears, there is no mistake!"

Miss has been looking forward to this day for a long time, but it suddenly comes true, how can she not be excited?As a maidservant, she was naturally happy too.

"Great!" Fan Ran muttered to himself, with a kind of joy of being reborn after a catastrophe, "Great."

It was not in vain that she had worked so hard to plan for such a situation.
