Although they are brothers, they are half-mother. Under the influence of Dolly's intrigues and intrigues in the wealthy mansion, the relationship between Kang Zhenyue and Kang Zhendai is naturally not much better.
According to common sense, Kang Zhenyue should be responsible for the border trade in the North, but because Kang Zhendai's biological mother was favored, she snatched this fat job away. In the past few years, Kang Zhenyue has been walking between the capital and the Central Plains, dormant and waiting.
It's just an opportunity.
Fortunately, God has opened his eyes. If Kang Zhendai had not made such a big mistake, the old man would not have allowed him, Kang Zhenyue, to come to Zhangjiakou to preside over important events.
As long as he handles the affairs of Zhangjiakou well and adds to the foundation he has laid in Beijing and the Central Plains, it will not be Kang Zhendai's turn to have a say in the affairs of the Kang family from now on.
The old man also kept his eyes open to see who was most suitable to inherit the Kang family's legacy.
.....
In the room, there was a table of wine and food, but the two brothers did not feel any joy at meeting again after a long separation. Kang Zhendai had a gloomy face, with a sneer and unwillingness hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Did the old man ask you to replace me?"
"Second brother, do you think that since you have caused so much trouble to my Kang family, the old man can still allow you to continue to take charge of Zhangjiakou affairs? You must know that more than half of the business of my Kang family is entirely supported by Zhangjiakou. If the old man does this,
I’m also protecting you.”
Kang Zhenyue's attitude was quite mild, and he felt that there was no need to be as knowledgeable as Kang Zhendai.
But the more Kang Zhenyue looked neither salty nor bland, the more anger Kang Zhendai felt. Suddenly, he slapped the table, stood up and stared at Kang Zhenyue opposite.
"Haha, it seems that all the mistakes are my fault, just like you have no responsibility. What have I done in Zhangjiakou over the years? Is there anything that my family did not agree with? Now something has gone wrong and the losses are too heavy, all because of
Is it on my head?"
"And you, Kang Zhenyue, don't pretend to be a good person here. Do you think I don't know your thoughts? You have been thinking about being in charge of Zhangjiakou all these years. Now, you finally got what you wanted!"
Kang Zhendai was so shocked that he lost his mind and said many extreme words.
Gradually, Kang Zhenyue's face became extremely ugly. After drinking a glass of wine, he said in a sarcastic cold voice: "Second brother, do you think it's not your fault? You secretly occupied the mines, cultivated bandits, and secretly communicated with Houjin.
There’s nothing wrong with any of this, as long as it’s beneficial, my family won’t have any objections.”
Raising his hand and pointing at Kang Zhendai's nose, Kang Zhenyue lowered his voice a bit, "But the biggest mistake you made was that you and Tie Mo became mortal enemies. When Tie Mo destroyed Yehuling in the first battle,
Since then, you should have quickly adjusted your strategy and repaired the relationship with him. But you didn't, and you secretly colluded with Bayan Khan to swallow up Zhang Beicheng."
"Where is Zhangbei? The imperial court has just announced that Zhangbei will return to the Ming Dynasty, and has also sent out county magistrates. Xuanfu and Datongfu also have a good reputation because of this. You let Bayan Khan occupy Zhangbei, are you not attacking everyone?
Human face? Humph, since you have done this, you must not lose, but you just lost. Since you have lost, you must admit defeat."
"At this time, as long as you lower your posture, acknowledge Tie Mo's status, and no longer be enemies with him, we still have the possibility of repair. In the final analysis, our Kang family does not have any irreconcilable conflicts with Tie Mo, some are just
The personal grudge between you and him. We can even work together in some aspects."
"But you just can't let go of your annoying arrogance, but that's right. You've always looked aloof since you were a child, how could you admit that you're not as good as a soldier with mud-legged legs? But... in fact, you really
Not as good as him..."
Every sentence was like a knife, piercing Kang Zhendai's heart. Something in his heart seemed to collapse in an instant, his face turned pale, and his hands started to tremble slightly.
Kang Zhenyue wanted to say more, but Kang Zhendai started roaring hysterically. He waved his hands like a madman and slowly backed away, "Don't say it, don't say it."
"That's enough...get out of here, get out of here. You, a bastard born of an actor, why are you teaching me a lesson? Get out of here...get out of here..."
Kang Zhenyue frowned, and uncontrollably, I moved in with my right hand, and my voice became cold and sinister, "Kang Zhendai, no matter what, I am your eldest brother..."
"Brother? Hehe, your mother is a bitch who can be ridden by thousands of people. She is a bastard born of a bitch..."
"Kang Zhendai, you can scold me, but you can't scold my mother!"
"So what if I scolded him? Haha...haha..." Kang Zhendai laughed wildly, holding his neck, and his face became a little sickly rosy.
Kang Zhenyue clenched his hand, then let go. After a long time, he took a long breath.
He turned around and walked to the door, and walked out without looking back, "Kang Zhendai, the old man asked you to go back to the old house tomorrow, so you can do it yourself!"
Kang Zhenyue fled the room as if he was half-frightened. He was afraid that if he continued to stay here, he would be tempted to kill his younger brother.
In the courtyard, it is as quiet as water, and the night sky is dotted with stars, twinkling with light.
Kang Zhenyue was not sleepy at all. What just happened made him realize clearly what kind of person his brother was.
I thought that things would get better as I grew older and became more sensible. However, my younger brother changed and became even more unreasonable and without any affection at all.
In his eyes, his aunt is a bitch and his eldest brother is a bastard. Is this how he always views his relatives?
If, in the future, this younger brother inherits the Kang family's legacy, what will happen to him?
Thinking of the old man's love for Kang Zhendai, Kang Zhenyue couldn't help but feel worried. Others may not know it, but Kang Zhenyue knew it clearly in his heart. With how favored Kang Zhendai was, there was still a high chance that Kang Zhendai would become the next heir.
Old man, old man, no matter what I do, am I still not as good as that handsome second brother in your eyes?
While he was deep in thought, there were footsteps approaching. The housekeeper Kang Fu entered the yard quietly. He saw Kang Zhenyue sitting next to the flower garden blowing in the wind, so he stopped and bowed.
"Young Master, it's late at night and you haven't rested yet?"
"Well, it turns out it's Uncle Fu. I drank some wine tonight and I'm not sleepy at all. Since you haven't slept either, let's talk about business!"
Instructing Kang Fu to sit down, Kang Zhenyue said softly: "Has Young Master Qiao been here recently?"
"I've been here before. I just came here during the day. It seemed that I didn't have a pleasant chat with the second young master and left in a huff."
"Second brother made Qiao Liuyun angry and drove him away?"
"Yes!"
Kang Zhenyue stood up involuntarily and began to pace in a depressed mood. For some reason, he instinctively felt that something terrible was about to happen.
