Chapter 278 Mrs. Kang comes to visit
Ling Ning looked slightly shocked: "The Kang family is so arrogant, does the court not care about it?"
"This is what I want to tell you." Yan Li opened her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Women in Jin State have no status - although men in Mu State are superior to women, Jin State has trampled on women's status to the point that it is outrageous The point.”
"The queen's reign has improved a lot over the years, but in the eyes of aristocratic families like the Kang family, women are still objects that can be disposed of at will. This is why they dare to be so rude to me, because they don't care about it at all. A man takes it seriously."
Ling Ning was silent for a moment, frowning and guessing: "Maybe it's because the father-in-law just came back. They thought the father-in-law was powerless and didn't dare to say anything at the mercy of them, but they didn't expect the father-in-law to be so tough."
"The Kang family is the mother clan of the second prince Yan Chen." Yan Li drank tea and said in a calmer voice, "Of course the four princes, the eldest prince and the fourth prince are all descendants of the former crown prince. He was the legitimate son, but their mother and the entire family had been killed fifteen years ago. The sixth prince and Yan Chen had similar backgrounds, and they were both descended from concubines. The second prince's mother had passed away, so he was relying on him now. In this Kang family power, the sixth prince’s mother is still there, ranking first among the four concubines.”
Ling Ning pondered: "The Kang family is so powerful. If the second prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, wouldn't we be even more——"
"There will be no such opportunity." Yan Li's voice was cold and ruthless, "The Kang family's behavior can only lead to death."
Ling Ning nodded: "What if we jump over the wall in a hurry?"
"Don't you dare." Yan Li's voice was clear and calm. "The imperial court has regulations. If a general mobilizes troops beyond a certain scale without permission when there is no war, he is trying to rebel. Our total number of troops is five, and the Kang family sent them If the people are too big, there is nothing to be afraid of. If they dare to bring in thousands of troops, they will put the Kang family on the fire. We are not so bold."
After a pause, she smiled faintly: "What's more, you are the only daughter of the emperor and the empress. No matter how much you despise them, you want to give me a blow, but you will never dare to let me die here. You don't This courage."
The Kang family is indeed powerful in Yanling, but that is only based on Yanling.
As far as the entire court was concerned, the Kang family was not so powerful that they could not confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
If the Kang family really dares to commit an act that is tantamount to rebellion, then only death awaits them.
It's impossible for a family like the Kang family to have no brains like this.
"Let's rest for a while." Yan Li turned to look out the window, "The sky is falling and the earth is falling outside, don't pay attention to it."
Ling Ning nodded: "Yes."
Yan Li washed and undressed and then went to the bedroom to rest.
I was too tired from traveling these past few days and spent every day on horseback. It turned out that according to the plan, I would arrive at the Imperial City tomorrow.
But after resting at the hotel last night, Chen Qingfeng suddenly reported the rape of a civilian girl in Yanling. She asked someone to investigate, and then personally took the people to the scholar's home and injured Kang Zixu.
It seems that Kang Zixu deserved to be beaten.
눒As the eldest son of the Kang family, he personally went to the scholar's home to abduct someone. 놛Does he really regard himself as the prince? Not only did they forcefully seize other girls, but the scholar's father also personally signed a pledge to admit that they were willing to sell their daughters.
This beast was not beaten to death on the spot not because he didn't deserve to die, but because Yan Li didn't want to make him jump over the wall just yet.
When someone is hurt, the other person is just angry at best.
If someone dies, the trouble will be much greater.
Yan Li was lying on the bed, thinking about the news that Tianshu found out last night. Kang Zixu was both civil and military and was the heir carefully cultivated by the Kang family.
If Yan Chen has the opportunity to ascend the throne in the future, Kang Zixu will become Yan Chen's strongest right-hand man.
In the huge Yanling City, almost half of the property is owned by the Kang family, including the eldest daughter, the maid, the restaurant clerk, the weaver girl, the embroiderer girl...
The people take it for granted that these people are dependent on the Kang family for their livelihood, so their lives should belong to the Kang family.
What a ridiculous and self-righteous idea.
Half an hour later, Chen Qingfeng came to report as expected: "Mr. Qin's wife is here."
Yan Li closed his eyes: "Come just come. Serve tea when it's time to serve it. There is no need to inform me."
"Yes." Chen Qingfeng turned and left.
Yan Li rested in the bedroom for half an hour, and Mrs. Kang waited in the front hall for half an hour. The wait made her angry and wanted to lead people into the inner courtyard immediately, drag him out and beat him with a cane.
A father-in-law who had been living outside since he was a child. He didn’t even know whether his blood was pure or not. He might just be a bastard. Not only did he injure her two sons one after another, but he actually dared to show off in front of her, Mrs. Kang?
I simply don’t know how to write the word death.
"Mother." A woman in purple sat next to her, with cold anger on her face. "Where is she from? How brave is she?"
Mrs. Kang held the teacup in her hand and smiled sinisterly: "She must have never seen the world and thinks that the princess represents nobility and everyone has to crawl at her feet, completely forgetting that power is the most important thing."
The status of the emperor is more noble than that of the queen.
But what about that?
The queen has been regent for many years and holds great power. Who in the civil and military dynasties dares to disrespect her?
What's going on with this young man who just arrived?
Even though she was the queen's daughter, she was new here and had no power, so how could she dare to offend the Kang family?
Does she think that bringing a few soldiers and horses here will make her lawless?
The prince cannot command troops. Those soldiers and horses escorted her here. When she enters the palace, she will be taken under the command of his generals.
Does she really think she is so powerful?
"So are we just going to wait here?" Kang Jinyi frowned, his face full of arrogance and anger, "She really needs a lesson! In my opinion, it would be better to let my father go to the palace and ask the emperor to marry this princess to my eldest brother, and see if she dares to be so arrogant in the future."
With my eldest brother's means, even if it is a tigress, he can tame her into a docile cat, telling her to kneel down and lie down, and see if she dares to resist?
When Mrs. Kang heard her daughter's words, she actually thought seriously: "I heard from your elder brother that this young princess is as beautiful as a flower, which suits your elder brother's taste."
Kang Jinyi snorted coldly: "My Kang family is the first family in Yanling. My elder brother is the eldest son, and his status is enough to match the princess. In addition, my cousin is the matchmaker. I don't believe that the emperor has reason to oppose this marriage."
Mrs. Kang frowned: "But your elder brother already has a wife. She is a princess after all. The queen should not agree to let her be a concubine."
Kang Jinyi said as a matter of course: "Let elder brother divorce his wife and give up the mother's throne temporarily. On the contrary, the emperor is far away from the sky... Even if Yanling is not too far from the imperial capital, once she marries here, her life and death will not be decided by herself. Whether she is a wife or a concubine is up to elder brother."
