The Prodigal Son of the Empire

[Author's Digression]: Went on a business trip, climbed the mountain for a day, tired and paralyzed

Chapter 1 You have grown up

A group of people returned to the Earl's Mansion, settled Tang Qingyi's family, and imprisoned Cao Canjun, and everything went smoothly.

In the evening, Earl's Mansion held a grand welcome dinner to welcome Wang Dingchang's return. After all, Wang Dingchang had been away for more than a month.

The banquet was extravagant, and the table was filled with delicacies. Du Yuanqiao even brought fine-brewed Dukang wine. Wang Dingchang raised his glass and smiled at Wang Kang, "When your mother comes back, our family will be reunited."

"But your mother is coming back soon. She went to your grandfather's house. This time she went for a long time!"

"Well," Wang Kang nodded, also looking forward to it.

In a real sense, he hasn't met his mother yet, and some of them are just memories in his mind.

His mother, Su Rong, came from a prominent family in the south, and his grandfather, Su Bohan, had a very high rank. He was a great Confucianist and a corrupt Confucian.

When Wang Dingchang was with his mother, he encountered many obstacles. At that time, Wang Dingchang's business had improved, and it was considered a small success.

But the grandfather tried his best to prevent them from being together, and finally got into trouble to the point where he didn't recognize Su Rong. Su Rong was also ruthless and followed Wang Dingchang to Yangzhou...

They hadn't seen each other for a few years, and it was only in recent years that Wang Dingchang was granted the title of earl and his status improved, so he gradually got in touch. Some time ago, Su Rong went home to visit his relatives, and it took so long.

Wang Kang flipped through his memories, Su Rong, like Wang Dingchang, loved him to the utmost, afraid of melting in his mouth, afraid of falling in his hands, and responsive to every request.

The prodigal son is so lucky, Wang Kang sighed.

But at this moment, Wang Dingchang's eyes fell on Lin Yuyan, Li Qingman, and Tang Qingyi, who were the three daughters.

The three women who watched were very uncomfortable.

"I've been away for a month, and the changes are really big. Before I leave, I specifically asked you to watch Kang'er, just to give you a chance to get along."

Wang Dingchang looked at Lin Yuyan and said with a smile, "It seems that you are getting along well, it's time to discuss your engagement with Lao Lin."

After hearing this, Lin Yuyan blushed slightly, but she did not refuse, but gave Wang Kang a glance and said softly, "I can't control him."

"Haha," seeing Lin Yuyan like this, Wang Dingchang laughed out loud, as if a father-in-law looked more and more satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

Wang Dingchang said again: "In Yongzhou, I have already asked someone to tell Yongzhou Weaving that he will not embarrass your Lin family anymore, and Kang Er did not distribute the exquisite purple silk to you... Don't worry about it gone."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Lin Yuyan stood up and said in a pretty voice.

"Haha! You thanked the wrong person for thanking me!" Wang Dingchang waved his hand, "Actually, before I left, Kanger told me that I should help your Lin family."

"He wants... to call off the engagement. He said that you are a talented woman from Yongzhou, and he is just a prodigal son. It is better not to delay you. This guy is quite self-aware!"

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang and said again: "But I don't agree with this, so give you some time for each other. If you can really get together, it will be great. If not, then you have to let it go!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan's heart trembled slightly, and she looked at Wang Kang with her beautiful eyes. It turned out that what he said that day outside the Manxiang Pavilion was true...

He never thought that taking advantage of her family's troubles to take the opportunity to blackmail her was always open and frank.

You once said that you don't want to get only my people, but also my heart.

Well, I can tell you now that you have obtained it, you have obtained Lin Yuyan's heart...

Facing Lin Yuyan's deep gaze, Wang Kang smiled slightly. He had done many things, but he didn't have to say them out.

"Yuyan is calm and talented, while Kanger is impulsive and doesn't care about the consequences. It's perfect to have you by my side."

As Wang Dingchang said, his eyes fell on Li Qingman again and he said with a smile: "This girl must be the most popular oiran in Yangzhou now, I have heard your name in Xinfeng County, you are very sought after! "

Hearing Wang Dingchang shift the topic to her, Li Qingman suddenly became nervous, feeling like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.

She is an oiran, although she has a bright head, but after all, she is not a good status, especially for a noble family like the Earl's Mansion, she pays attention to being well-matched.

Last year, Zhao Liangyin, a famous oiran prostitute, attracted the envy of countless fireworks women, not only because she won the oiran, but

It is even more because she is favored by the noble sons of the capital... After all, she is a prostitute in Yanhualiu Lane, and how many of them can die well.

Strictly speaking, Li Qingman is not a person from the Land of Fireworks, but he has the name of Fireworks after all.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "Qingman was originally just a nobleman who sang songs, but Master Mengkang did not give up and was acquainted, so he became the oiran."

Her intention was obviously to tell Wang Dingchang that her identity was innocent, she did not come from Fireworks and Willow Lane, and even if she became an oiran, it was your son who manipulated her.

"Haha, Miss Li, don't need to think too much." Wang Dingchang heard what Li Qingman said, and said with a smile, "I'm not a pedantic person, and I don't have any opinions."

"Don't say that you are not from the place of Fireworks and Willow Lane. Even if you are, as long as Kanger likes it, it's fine. I will let Kanger give you a title."

Hearing this, Li Qingman breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect any status, she just wanted to be by Wang Kang's side.

"but,"

Suddenly Wang Dingchang changed the subject, his voice turned cold and he looked at Li Qingman and said, "Although I don't care about your status as the oiran, what I care about is your other status!"

Hearing this sound, Li Qingman, who was originally relaxed, suddenly shook, sighed and did not speak.

The others looked at Wang Dingchang in astonishment, not understanding why he made such a statement, but only Wang Kang understood that it was because his cheap father knew about Li Qingman's background.

Wang Kang never asked Li Qingman's real identity, but he also knew that she was definitely not an ordinary person. Although she was a girl, she was extremely skilled in martial arts and well-informed.

These are very obvious, but Wang Kang didn't expect Wang Dingchang to know, it should be the first time he saw Li Qingman.

Wang Kang suddenly thought of a question, wasn't Wang Dingchang in Xinfeng County before?Even Li Qingman's identity was investigated clearly.

It seemed that he knew everything he did, even under Wang Dingchang's eyes.

This also makes sense, Wang Dingchang, a father who loves his son so much, how can he rest assured that he is messing around.

But even so, Wang Kang still felt uncomfortable. No one would wish that everything he did was under the watchful eye of others, even if this person was his father.

Thinking of this, Wang Kang glared at Wang Dingchang, and the meaning was obvious.

"Haha, Kang'er, you think too much. You don't know much about your father, and you didn't deliberately send someone to watch you..." Wang Dingchang waved his hands hurriedly, for fear of being misunderstood by Wang Kang.

"But it won't happen again in the future," Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang with mixed eyes, mixed with relief, surprise, and kindness...finally turned into a low sigh.

"Because you... have grown up!"

Seeing Wang Dingchang like this, even if Wang Kang had any resentment, it dissipated at this moment.

"However, there is one thing I must ask clearly before that," Wang Dingchang's eyes fell on Li Qingman again.

"What is the intention of the dignified Taiyi sect's preacher to follow my son?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
