291 Kang Huijuan encountered Li Hua
Lóng Wei walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
“Brother Lóng Wei!” Xiaoming stopped him. However, he didn’t listen to him. Everyone looked puzzled because of the sudden twist.
“Kang Huijuan, tell the truth or else I will bring all of your evil deeds out,” Lóng Wei threatened him while gritting his teeth. His grip on his collar tightened while his face carried a grim look. He was controlling him not to knock him down and beat some sense into his head.
“Maintain the dignity of the court,” Qiu Zedong said with a loud voice. However, Lóng Wei didn’t let go of his grip on Kang Huijuan’s collar.
“Leave me if you don’t want to prove to everyone that you are an incompetent Governor,” Kang Huijuan whispered. Lóng Wei pulled him up.
“You don’t need to tell me what to do and what not to do,” Lóng Wei snapped at him. Hei Chengxi came near them and grabbed Lóng Wei’s arms. He pulled Lóng Wei away and asked him to calm down.
“Your Majesty, don’t trust Kang Huijuan’s words. He is lying,” Lóng Wei said with a stern tone.
“Your Majesty, please do not do injustice in this court. This woman was trying to put the blame of her wrong-doing on me and wanted me to accept that child. When I refused, she threatened me. She even fooled Prince Lóng Wei. I should have revealed the truth that time, but I did not want the child inside her to suffer.” Kang Huijuan made a lie which appeared no less than the truth.
Xin Jue stood silent because she knew that everyone would only blame her. No matter how many times she told the truth, she would be wronged.
.....
“Your Majesty, Kang Huijuan is lying. He is the father of Xin Jue’s child. To get away from the punishment, he told this lie,” Lóng Wei requested his father.
“Can Prince Lóng Wei prove that the child inside her womb is my son’s?” Kang Xi finally spoke.
“I will prove it. However, I need time,” Lóng Wei stated.
“Prince Lóng Wei can take time,” Kang Huijuan said. “However, if it is proven that the child isn’t mine, then it will also prove that Prince Lóng Wei planned with her to destroy the name of the Kang family,” he proclaimed and immediately looked at the King.
Lóng Wei clenched his fists in anger and stared at Kang Huijuan.
Tianjie and Zhang Xi smiled to hear Kang Huijuan. He turned the entire chess game on his side. Finally, someone was there who could defeat Lóng Wei.
“Your Majesty, I believe that facts must be checked before giving out the verdict,” Li Zixuan said.
“I agree with Minister Li,” Hei Chengxi said. “To avoid any discrepancy, I will personally check everything, Your Majesty,” he stated. The remaining ministers agreed with their suggestions and requested the King for the same.
“Fine. I allow Lóng Wei and Kang Huijuan to present their evidence in tomorrow’s court. I will make the decision accordingly,” Qiu Zedong stated. He asked them not to provoke each other in the fight. Huang Xi took Xin Jue with her and the court session continued.
An hour later, when the remaining small cases were discussed, the court session got over. The ministers left after the King except for Kang Xi and his son.
Hei Chengxi told Lóng Wei that he would see him later and left. Qiu Mu also left with the First General.
Lóng Wei walked up to Kang Huijuan and punched him hard on the face. Kang Xi raised his voice when Lóng Wei told him to shut his mouth.
“Don’t do anything,” Xiaoming said, standing in front of Lóng Wei.
“Governor of Qinping jumped into violence in just a few hours,” Kang Huijuan provoked Lóng Wei. “I wonder how long he will remain in this position,” he said, while being dubious.
“Kang Huijuan, don’t start a fight here. I will take action if you don’t stop,” Xiaoming said with authority. “Prime Minister Kang Xi must go home with son. I apologize for Brother Lóng Wei’s misbehavior.”
Kang Xi nodded and asked Kang Huijuan to follow him. He smirked at Lóng Wei before leaving with his father.
“Where did you find this record book?” Xiaoming asked Lóng Wei.
“From the Kang residence,” Lóng Wei replied. “He is lying. I won’t spare him tomorrow,” he muttered, and thought to walk away when Xiaoming told him to accompany him.
“Why?” Lóng Wei’s sceptical gaze lingered on him.
Mingquan grabbed Lóng Wei’s arm and said, “Don’t whine like a kid. Let’s follow the Crown Prince.”
Xiaoming gazed at Tianjie, who told him that he had a task to fulfil with Zhang Xi. Xiaoming nodded and returned to his manor with Mingquan and Lóng Wei.
“Brother Tianjie, this was an unexpected turn of events. Kang Huijuan looked confident. I think that Brother Lóng Wei indeed made a plan with Xin Jue to remove the Prime Minister,” Zhang Xi pronounced.
“No. This is not the way Lóng Wei works. Kang Huijuan lied in front of the King,” Tianjie stated. “I would love to help Brother Lóng Wei, but I do not want to. Tomorrow Lóng Wei will be removed from the position of governor,” he added and smiled victoriously.
Kang Huijuan informed his father that he would return later. When Kang Xi openly reprimanded him, he assured his father that he would not create any nuisance. Kang Huijuan knew that whenever Lóng Wei got angry, he would go out but not to his manor. This was the right time to check on Li Hua and plan accordingly.
He halted outside Lóng Wei’s manor and looked at the board hanging at the top of the wide entrance.
He walked in and found, as usual, there was no one around. He continued to walk until he saw Li Hua, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Li Hua was unaware of his face and could not recognize him.
“Li Hua,” Liu Jin Yu came forward, holding the long skirt. She knitted her brows to see Kang Huijuan, and her blood boiled in anger.
