After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 219 Bringing things to order
In the autumn of the first year of Yuanzhen in Dasheng period, the founding ancestor personally led the army to fight.

The Empress Dowager Cixi ruled the country from behind the curtain.

The largest power struggle between the emperor and his subjects in history has officially begun.

Kang Jintang was standing in the corridor, and Lin Songxue came over holding her six-year-old son Kang Youqing.

Lin Songxue patted Kang Youqing on the back, and Kang Youqing looked at his father timidly.

After a while, he walked to his father with small steps, "Father..."

Kang Jintang looked at the mother and son in front of him with sparkling eyes, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He had a long, long dream.

It was so long that it seemed very real to him.

In the dream, he was still the poor scholar Kang Jintang, but he married not Xie Shuning, but Xie's cousin Rong Peilan.

Rong Peilan and the outspoken Xie Shuning are two extremes.

One is extremely domineering and strong, the other is extremely virtuous and gentle.

One is self-righteous, the other is knowledgeable and intelligent.

In the dream, he sat on the bench for two years, but finally he emerged thanks to Rong Pei Peilan's strategy.

Even later on, it was all thanks to her planning that he was promoted step by step.

But now, he is not only still sitting on the bench.

He couldn't even enter the court.

He studied hard for twenty years, but now he is useless.

He didn't know why he would have such a dream. In the dream, it was his wife who helped him ascend to the throne, but now she is the high and mighty empress of the new dynasty.

Clearly in the dream, Xie Shuning married Ji Yunzhang, the Ji family fell into decline, and Ji Yunzhang was nowhere to be found in Yanjing.

He supported the young emperor to ascend the throne, second only to the emperor.

The difference is, the person you marry is different? !

In his dream, he married Rong Peilan, so he was appointed prime minister.

Now, Ji Yunzhang married Rong Peilan, so a new dynasty was established? !

Lin Songxue looked at the silent Kang Jintang and felt a little scared.

In recent years, he has become increasingly frustrated and moody.

The original father-son relationship made Qing'er more and more afraid.

She is still a concubine until now, even though it was clearly agreed that she would be made the principal after Xie Shuning was divorced.

She finally waited for Xie Shuning to be divorced, but her aunt said to put the matter aside.

He immediately made his concubine his legal wife after divorcing her, which had an impact on Kang Jintang's career.

But now it has been several years, and she is no longer young. How long can she wait?

She couldn't wait any longer. It was already a new dynasty, and waiting any longer would only mean the emergence of another mistress.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Lin Songxue pushed her son again.

At this moment, Kang Youqing shrank directly behind his mother.

Lin Songxue was annoyed and could only go up on her own. "My husband, I heard that Lord Miao, who you had a relationship with before, has been highly valued by His Majesty."

"I think you can invite Master Miao to write poems and talk about the zither. If you can establish this connection, your recovery will not be a problem!"

This time, Kang Jintang finally reacted. He looked at her with a half-smile, "Resurrection?"

"Do you know what the relationship between His Majesty and our family is?"

Lin Songxue only knew that Xie Shuning's father was the Queen's uncle.

If Xie Shuning had not been divorced, there would naturally be no current problem. However, with such a powerful backer, Xie Shuning would never be able to turn things around, and even her son's life might be in danger.

She laughed dryly twice, "I, I don't know."

Kang Jintang's eyes were full of meaning. "The one who was going to marry into the family was the current Empress."

"Master Xie told me back then that if I remained unmarried, he still had a niece with a quiet personality who would complement me perfectly."

"But on the day Xie Shuning got married, the Queen inexplicably married into the Xinling Marquis's residence." "And after the Queen got married, Xie Shuning started to contact me."

"I thought I was lucky, but now it seems like this was all a deliberate plan."

"I'm afraid someone has already predicted the Queen's fate, saying that she will be extremely wealthy and bring prosperity to her husband and family."

Lin Songxue was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She took two steps forward anxiously with a pale face.

"My dear husband, please don't say such nonsense! This is a crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan!"

Kang Jintang snorted coldly, "I was wondering why I was so unlucky. It turns out that my destined marriage has been replaced by someone else!"

"If not for this, I'm afraid that the position of the Nine Five Supremes would be..."

He didn't say the rest, but the resentment in his heart had already taken root.

Lin Songxue watched his expression become terrifying and couldn't help but take a step back.

"My dear, I know you are frustrated, but..."

Kang Jintang just glanced at her lightly and said, "You have been following me for several years. Even if you have no merits, you have worked hard."

"I'll give you some money, and you can take Kang Youqing back to your hometown."

Lin Songxue was stunned for a moment, "Husband, are you going to chase us away now?"

"Qing'er is your only son, how can you drive him away..."

Kang Jintang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Lin Songxue, what are you thinking? Do you think I don't know? A few years ago, you put drugs in Xie Shuning's food. Do you think you could do it without anyone knowing?"

"Letting you go back home is saving you. If the Xie family knew that it was you who caused Xie Shuning to be like this, do you think the Song family would let you go?"

Lin Songxue felt as if all the blood in her body had solidified.

She did all this for him, and now he was using it to threaten her.

She is just a useless abandoned pawn.

-

Xie Shuning was sitting on a rock by the roadside, in a daze. People here were used to it.

The legitimate daughter of the Xie family, a noble and prominent family, is in such a state now.

A figure stood in front of her, blocking her light, and she slowly raised her head, facing the light.

I saw a face I hadn't seen for a long time.

Although they were in Yanjing, she hadn't seen him for several years.

Xie Shuning ignored him and slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Xie Shuning, I know you are not crazy."

A voice came from above her head that was very familiar to her in this life.

"You are just unwilling to accept it. It was clearly your destiny, but now someone else is sitting in the queen's seat."

"You really wanted to go crazy, but unfortunately, you didn't. You are very sober."

Xie Shuning paused playing with her fingers, but she still ignored him.

So what if I'm unwilling?

Kang Jintang couldn't see her expression. He looked at the top of her head and continued, "Don't you want to return to the right path and put things right?!"

Xie Shuning finally looked up.

She vaguely saw a smile on Kang Jintang's lips, and in a trance she seemed to see the appearance of the powerful Prime Minister Kang in the previous life again.

Her voice was hoarse, "What do you want to do..."

Kang Jintang slowly leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Xie Shuning's eyes slowly narrowed, with unknown emotions flowing in his eyes.

Kang Jintang stood up straight, the smile on his lips widening, "I'll leave this matter to Miss Xie."

Xie Shuning raised his eyes slightly, with a smile on his lips.

Slowly said, "Okay."
