Chapter 499: The Betrayal Scumbag 1
As for the original owner's mother, when she learned that her husband had died, she had a miscarriage and died along with her eight-month-old baby in her belly.
In this way, the original owner was taken to the Kong family to be raised, and grew up together with Kong Lishen as childhood sweethearts.
Before Kong Lishen changed his heart, the original owner and Kong Lishen actually had a very good relationship. What Kong Lishen was most looking forward to was that the two of them could hold a wedding as soon as possible when the original owner came of age.
But what if Kong Lishen changed his mind?
She was the concubine's daughter of the Censor's family. No one knew how Kong Lishen knew her. Then, she acted as if she had never loved the original owner. She wanted to cancel the engagement with the original owner and was very hostile to her.
Naturally, Kong's father and mother did not agree with their son's cancellation of the engagement, especially Kong's father. You know, if the original owner's father had not blocked the knife for him, he would have been the one who died.
Let's not talk about the brotherhood between the two who grew up together, let's just talk about the life-saving grace! How could Kong's father allow his son to break off the engagement and do such an ungrateful thing.
What's more, the original owner grew up in the Kong family. Kong's father and mother treated her no differently than their own daughter, so they would never agree to their son canceling the engagement.
But how could the parents persuade their son, so in the end the original owner broke off the engagement with Kong Lishen.
Logically speaking, given how much Kong Lishen's parents loved the original owner, even if they broke off the engagement with Kong Lishen, they would definitely help the original owner find a good marriage again. However, the original owner was deeply in love with Kong Lishen and wanted to marry him even as a concubine. When Kong Lishen disagreed, she even threatened to hang herself.
In the end, Kong Lishen's parents had no choice but to threaten their son to take the original owner as his concubine, otherwise they would never agree to go to the Censor's house to propose marriage. In order to marry the woman he loved, Kong Lishen had no choice but to agree to take the original owner as his concubine.
But what the original owner didn't know was that this was just the beginning of her nightmare. After Kong Lishen married that woman, that woman framed the original owner everywhere. But Kong Lishen was like a blind man. He believed that it was the original owner who bullied that woman. He became more and more disgusted with the original owner and refused to enter her room at all.
So even though the original owner became Kong Lishen's concubine, she never slept with Kong Lishen. Later, when the woman became pregnant, she used the child in her belly to frame the original owner, which made Kong Lishen want to kill the original owner.
Kong's father and mother were also extremely disappointed with the original owner. The woman framed the original owner. Not only was Kong Lishen blind, but Kong's father and mother also seemed to be blind. They never doubted anything and became more and more disappointed with the original owner.
Therefore, when Kong Lishen proposed to send the original owner away, Kong's father and mother did not object and sent the original owner back to his hometown in Jiangnan.
The original owner naturally didn't want to leave, but the question was, would it be useful if she didn't want to?
The original owner encountered robbers on her way back to Jiangnan and suffered the same fate as her father, and was killed after her body was defiled.
Before he died, the original owner learned that these robbers were arranged by Kong Lishen. He spent money to bribe these people just to avenge his beloved woman.
Does the original owner hate it?
Of course she hated her. She and Kong Lishen grew up together. Doesn’t Kong Lishen understand her character?
But Kong Lishen was like a blind man. As long as the woman shed two tears, he would immediately conclude that the original owner had bullied the woman, and no matter how the original owner explained, it was useless.
What made the original owner hate him even more was that even though they grew up together, Kong Lishen should not have been so cruel to her. It was not enough to send her away, he even found someone to defile her and kill her.
As for Confucius' father and mother...
The original owner was also very disappointed. She was the child they raised. How could they not know the character of the child they raised?
But Kong's father and mother chose to be blind just like Kong Lishen, and the original owner couldn't figure out whether they were really blind or pretending to be blind. Kong Lishen's blindness can be explained by being blinded by love, but what about Kong's father and mother?
They were all elderly people, especially Kong's father who was an official in the court. The original owner didn't believe that Kong's father would not be able to see through the woman's little tricks.
However, these are no longer important to the original owner. Although she hates them, she does not want revenge. She just wants to stay away from the Kong family and return to Jiangnan, and have nothing to do with them anymore.
In fact, the original owner did have no relatives. It was just that her father's family was the only one left. But this did not mean that the original owner had no relatives. The Jiang family was still a large family of scholars in the Jiangnan area.
As for the original owner's mother's family, it was also a well-known merchant family in Jiangnan.
If Kong's father had not passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, and if the original owner had not been engaged to Kong Lishen as a child, neither the Jiang family nor the original owner's maternal grandfather's family would have given the original owner to the Kong family for upbringing.
So the original owner was not without relatives, and it was also because of this that the original owner's wish was to return to Jiangnan.
"You and Chunxi were engaged since childhood, and now you want to cancel the engagement," Kong's father pointed at his son angrily and said, "You unfilial son, do you want to piss me and your mother off?"
"I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible to cancel the engagement. If Chunxi's father hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. I should repay the life-saving grace with gratitude. But you want to cancel the engagement now. Do you want to do me an injustice and let others spit on me?"
"Li Shen! What's going on with you?" Kong's mother was so angry that she looked heartbroken. "You and Chunxi grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Haven't you always loved Chunxi and dreamed of marrying her as soon as possible? Why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement?"
"Mother, I was ignorant and didn't know what love was before," Kong Lishen said. "It wasn't until I met someone I really loved that I realized that I only had a brotherly and sisterly relationship with Chunxi, not a romantic one. I didn't love Chunxi at all, I just treated her as my sister."
"So how can I marry Chunxi? I beg you, Dad and Mom, to agree to my request and let me and Chunxi cancel the engagement! If Dad is worried about others stabbing you in the back and scolding you, then you two elders can adopt Chunxi as your adopted daughter and find her a good marriage."
"Shut up." Kong's father picked up the tea on the table and smashed it hard on his son's forehead. Immediately, blood flowed from Kong Lishen's forehead.
"Ah!" Kong's mother screamed, "Master, what are you doing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kong's mother quickly stood up and walked towards her son, took out a handkerchief from her body and covered the wound on his forehead: "Someone come! Hurry up and call a doctor."
"No need, mother," Kong Lishen said quickly, "It's just a minor injury, there's no need to call a doctor. If you really care about your son, then agree to dissolve his marriage with Chunxi!"
