Chapter 502: The Betrayal Scumbag 4
Of course, Kong's mother did not intend to let Jiang Chunxi live too long. She had already made plans that when Jiang Chunxi married her son and had children, she would let Jiang Chunxi die from postpartum hemorrhage after giving birth.
In that case, the Jiang family would have no way to get back the dowry. After all, Jiang Chunxi gave birth to the child, so the dowry would naturally be left to the child.
But who would have thought that just when the plan was almost complete, his son suddenly wanted to cancel the engagement.
"You definitely can't cancel the engagement," Kong's father said, "If I really let Li Shen cancel the engagement, I will be scolded to death by the scholars in Jiangnan."
"Evil creature," Kong's father cursed angrily, "I thought he was capable of great responsibility, but I didn't expect that he was just a fool. Fortunately, he is not my only son, otherwise..."
"What else?" Mother Kong looked at her husband with a dark face, "You will support the illegitimate son and give up the legitimate son, right?"
"I didn't say that," Kong's father said with a guilty conscience, "Okay, now is not the time to be angry with me. As a mother, you should think of a way to persuade your son!"
"I'm telling you! If Li Shen refuses to listen and insists on breaking off the engagement, then don't blame me for being cruel. After all, the Kong family will definitely be handed over to a son who can shoulder the responsibility in the future. If Kong Li Shen can't even distinguish between the important and the trivial, then I will definitely not train him as the heir to the family anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong's father stood up and left.
Kong's mother looked at her husband's back as he left, and was so angry that she threw the teacup on the table to the ground.
At the same time, in a private room of a teahouse in Beijing, Dong Wanfan burst into tears when she saw Kong Lishen’s red and swollen face. It took Kong Lishen to coax her for a long time before she stopped crying.
"Wanfan, I have already proposed to my parents to cancel the engagement today. Don't worry, it won't be long before I can cancel the engagement and come to your house to propose marriage."
"Really?" Dong Wanfan bit her lip and said, "But will your parents agree to you canceling the engagement? Even if they agree to you canceling the engagement, will they agree to you marrying me? After all, I am just a concubine's daughter, and my status is not worthy of you at all."
Although Dong Wanfan was a concubine's daughter, her food and drink expenses were no different from those of a legitimate daughter. Her aunt was originally a maid who came with her legitimate mother as a dowry, and later she was allowed to become her father's concubine.
Because of this relationship, and the fact that her aunt had always been loyal to her stepmother, after giving birth to her, she took the initiative to drink sterilization medicine and decided not to have any more children.
Therefore, her stepmother naturally treated her, the concubine's daughter, differently. Generally, her stepmother would have the same things as her elder sister.
But so what? The difference between legitimate and illegitimate children meant that she could not get a good marriage of higher status. As for marrying down, Dong Wanfan was naturally unwilling to do so.
Therefore, after meeting Kong Lishen by chance, Dong Wanfan naturally seized the opportunity to make Kong Lishen fall for her.
What she didn't expect was that Kong Lishen actually had a fiancée with whom he had been engaged since childhood.
She had finally grabbed hold of Kong Lishen, so of course there was no way she would give up. Fortunately, Kong Lishen did not let her down and was willing to cancel the engagement for her.
"You are talking nonsense again," Kong Lishen looked at Dong Wanfan lovingly and said, "What do you mean by worthy or not? Since I, Kong Lishen, have determined that you are the wife I want to marry, there is no such thing as whether you are worthy of me or not."
"Okay, stop imagining that and leave everything to me. I promise I can break off the engagement soon and go to your house to propose marriage."
"Yes!" Dong Wanfan nodded shyly, "But you have to do it as soon as possible. I heard from my aunt that my stepmother is already looking for a marriage for me. If you don't go to my house to propose marriage as soon as possible, I'm afraid my stepmother will arrange a marriage for me."
Kong Lishen looked nervous: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me before? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to ask my parents to cancel the engagement today."
"I just heard about it from my aunt a few days ago," Dong Wanfan said aggrievedly, "Li Shen, are you blaming me?"
As she spoke, Dong Wanpei turned to the other side with tears in her eyes: "You said you loved me, but you blamed me for such a small matter. I don't know whether I should believe your sincerity or not."
"Of course I am sincere to you," Kong Lishen hurriedly turned Dong Wanpei's body around so that she was facing him. "If I wasn't sincere to you, why would I cancel the engagement? Besides, I don't blame you! I'm just worried that time is running out and I'm afraid your stepmother will arrange a marriage for you, so my tone is a little anxious."
"Since you are afraid that my stepmother will arrange a marriage for me, then you should cancel the engagement immediately," Dong Wanpei said, leaning her head on Kong Lishen's chest. "Lishen, for our future, please don't let me down!"
"Don't worry! I will never let you down." Kong Lishen put his arm around Dong Wanpei's shoulders and then became intimate with Dong Wanfan.
Dong Wanfan naturally did not refuse. If she wanted to control a man like Kong Lishen, she naturally had to give him some sweet treats. As long as she didn't take the last step, it would be fine.
When Kong Lishen returned to the Kong family, it was already time for dinner.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, the servant who was sent by Kong's mother to guard the gate came forward and said, "My dear, the lady asked you to go see her as soon as you come back. She must be waiting anxiously now. You should go see the lady as soon as possible!"
"Got it." Kong Lishen said coldly and walked towards the backyard.
"You still remember to come back!" Seeing her son coming in from outside, Kong's mother said with a gloomy face, "Tell me the truth, did you go out to meet that vixen?"
Kong Lishen: "Mother, please don't say such harsh words, Wanfan is a girl from a good family, not a vixen. If you continue to slander Wanfan like this, then I, your son, will be angry."
Mother Kong pounded her chest with her hands. She was so angry that she felt like she could hardly breathe. "What kind of girl from a good family would have a secret meeting with a man from another family? Kong Lishen! Kong Lishen, you are a person who is familiar with the books of sages, don't you understand this principle?"
"If that vixen was really a good person, then she would not only seduce you to have a secret meeting with her, but also seduce you to break off your engagement. Wouldn't that be disobedient and unfilial to your parents?"
"You have become stupid from studying so much that any woman can fool you. I tell you, I will never let you marry a vixen like that. Even as a concubine, I will not agree to you taking her in. So you'd better break up with that woman as soon as possible, otherwise your father will probably give up on you, the legitimate son, and turn to train a concubine's son."
"If that really happens, I wonder what you will do in the future. As the legitimate son of the family, you have to watch your father pay attention to the illegitimate son. Aren't you afraid that outsiders will laugh at you and call you a waste behind your back?"
