After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother
Chapter 403: Disputes in Prince Kang's Mansion
One decree scolded his son, another decree killed the minister, the main purpose was to do whatever he could to vent his anger.
Prince Kang's Mansion.
After Eunuch Wang finished announcing the decree, he still bowed respectfully to the Third Prince, and then returned to the palace to report. As the old saying goes, things change over time. Who knows if this gentleman will have good luck again in the future? It's always right to listen to my godfather and abide by the rules of being a servant.
After this group of palace servants left, Concubine Wu, who was usually arrogant and domineering, finally dared to raise her head.
"Your Majesty!"
The beautiful woman, still charming as ever, threw herself at the King Kang, who was slumped on the ground, and cried bitterly. She was not only crying for her family, which might be executed, but also for her own life, which was about to be turned upside down.
"I didn't mean to do that. It was just that you were short of money at that time, so I had no choice but to use my dowry to fill it. But it was not enough! I, I accepted the money. I really didn't know that it was all tax money..."
These words could be said to be truly sincere. Concubine Wu only thought that her family was lucky enough to have inherited a wealthy family, so they had the money to honor Prince Kang's palace.
For the sake of the prince's cause, and of course for her own children, she readily took the money and did the job, and over the years she has helped the Su family to influence others.
But who could have known that someone would dig such a sinkhole?
Thinking about the possibility of being in a desperate situation in the future, Concubine Wu cried sincerely this time.
Pei Laosan, who was awakened by his beloved, looked closely at the woman who was crying on him.
This was the woman he fell in love with at first sight when he was young. He felt guilty for not being able to give her the position of legal wife for so many years, and he also held her in the palm of his hand for so many years. Even the children she gave birth to could rely on their mother's status and suppress the legitimate children in the mansion.
As a result, now, he is so distressed that he has caused such a disaster?
Pei Lao San, who was extremely angry and humiliated, grabbed the snow-white and delicate neck.
"You want to harm me? You dare to harm this king?!"
With this imperial decree from the old man today, Pei Changyu will never have any chance of ascending to the throne again in this life! How can he accept this after struggling for half his life?
"...Prince..., uh... uh... husband..., let... go..."
Seeing that their mother was about to roll her eyes because of being pinched by their father, the second and fifth sons who were kneeling on the side hurriedly rushed over to stop her.
"Please show mercy, father!"
"Father, please let my mother go! You are strangling her to death! Let her go now!"
Pei Zhiyi didn't react as quickly as her two brothers. She just kneeled there in a daze, as if she couldn't hear the chaos. Her head was buzzing with noises.
Princess Kang was carefully helped up by her son and daughter. She took a look at the family, which usually showed a kind father, loving mother and filial children. A flash of joy flashed in her eyes, which were always timid!
"Mother, you are already in poor health, and it would be even worse if you get bumped into something in this mess. Come on, I will accompany you back to the courtyard to rest."
Receiving the signal from her brother's eyes, Princess Caiyun had the same timid and cowardly expression on her face as her mother's, but the words she spoke were exceptionally clever and considerate.
Princess Kang looked up at her son, and Pei Jiping nodded slightly. So she smiled gently and said nothing, turned around and quietly retreated to the inner courtyard with her daughter, just as inconspicuous as they had been for so many years.
At home, one should obey the father; after marriage, one should obey the husband; after the husband dies, one should obey the son. Although her husband is not dead yet, it is almost the same as if he were dead to her.
Her life was not very good. She was not loved by her father at home, and she was not pleased by her husband after marriage.
She was born in the same month as Concubine Wu, and was suppressed for so many years. If it weren't for the Queen Mother who aborted Concubine Wu's first child, her son would never have been the eldest son. Princess Kang knew all this, so she was particularly pious and filial to the Queen Mother over the years.
As for the current situation? Princess Kang was not very moved. She even felt strangely that it was not a bad thing for her mother and her children that Pei Lao San had lost the chance to ascend to the throne.
If the King of Kang really ascends to the throne in the end, without the suppression of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, then Concubine Wu's family will inevitably ascend to the throne. Will the three of them still have a way to survive at that time? It's really good now. Everyone is honest and everyone is safe.
So, sometimes the joys and sorrows of a family’s spouse, spouse, and children do not seem to be shared.
Pei Jiping looked at the couple fighting each other in front of him, his eyes as calm as his name.
If it weren't for the royal grandfather who sent people to secretly protect him these years, his bones would have been cold. Now he is just helping General Shen to dig up the little secrets in the mansion. What's wrong with him? He is just a good grandson who wants to be filial to his grandfather!
As for this so-called biological father, let him lose the throne. Anyway, no matter how great his fortune is, it probably won't fall on his head in the future. Pei Jiping is not a good person, so where does he get the time to make wedding clothes for his second brother?
I've been living on my own, and you've broken the pot!
Humph, who told my own father to be biased, wishing every day to feed elixirs to his illegitimate son and poison to his legitimate son? What, my life is not a life?
The arrogant Pei Jiping still stood aside quietly with a blank expression. As long as I don't laugh out loud, you won't know that I am gloating.
After finally rescuing his mother from his father's hands, Pei Yiming winked at his younger brother, then stood in front of them, comforting his father with an especially filial look.
"Father, please don't be so angry. It's more important to take care of yourself! We haven't reached the point where we have no other options!"
Pei Laosan looked at his most beloved son, and then looked at the mother and daughter he protected behind him, both of whom looked frightened and aggrieved. In the end, he could only sit down on the ground in silence.
He didn't mean to strangle Concubine Wu on purpose. After all, she was the woman he truly loved for so many years. Even though she had caused such a big trouble for him, he never thought of taking her life.
But how can I not be angry?
What was lost was not just a piece of land or a house, but an entire country, something he had been longing for for half his life! But today, his dream was suddenly shattered without warning.
If he didn't have a little bit of rationality left, Pei Laosan would have wanted to beat his chest and cry loudly in front of his children.
Of course, his current condition is not much better. He looks like a madman with red eyes and messy hair.
"You make it sound so easy. It's not the end of the road yet? Then how far do we have to go to reach that point?
When I am like Pei Lao Er, locked up in the mansion digging for earthworms for fun, will I be considered to have reached the point of no return?"
