The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Chapter 459 Apologize to the Queen

Although Old Lady Kong was unreasonable, she also knew that if they offended the Emperor and Empress, the good days of their Shangshu Mansion would be over.

The old lady kept looking at her grandson, hoping that he would behave himself.

On the other hand, the Crown Prince's wife, who was sitting next to Lady Pingxi, sneered and said sarcastically, "Mr. Kong's words are so unreasonable. You really hope that it was our aunt who pushed people down. Now that the two little girls have told the truth, they don't believe us and even say that we bribed them. This is in the Shangshu Mansion, and the Empress is here. Even if we in the Pingxi Mansion have great abilities, we can't buy people's hearts."

"If they hadn't lied, who could have forced them to confess? Or do you think the people in the Imperial City Bureau are cowards who can't even tell the truth from lies?"

There have never been any unjust, false or wrong cases handled by the Imperial City Bureau.

To say so is equivalent to saying that the emperor is incompetent.

The wife of the Crown Prince of Pingxi was truly vicious and had completely set their family on fire.

Mrs. Kong hurriedly said, "How is this possible?"

Kong Lin's hands were restrained, and he felt very uncomfortable. He tried to struggle, but failed to break free. He said fiercely, "Who knows if you are in cahoots with the Imperial City Bureau and the Queen? You deliberately did this to help Mu Yao escape the blame. Even if the little maid helps her confess and exonerates her, she can't get rid of the disgusting things she did, nor can she wash away the fact that she killed a little life."

When Kong Lin said this, the Kong family was shocked.

Mu Yao's face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood.

How could one not be sad when the man who once promised to love her forever ended up saying such words?

Mrs. Pingxibo and Earl Pingxibo were so angry that their faces turned black. Earl Pingxibo clenched his hands hanging by his side into fists and forced himself to resist the urge to stand up and hit anyone. Their Earl Pingxibo Mansion had indeed been declining in recent years, but it was not their turn to be bullied to this extent.

Before the queen could react, a crisp sound of slap was heard in the silent air.

There was a clear slap mark on Kong Lin's face, and his face was also hit to the side. Minister Kong stood in front of Kong Lin angrily, with the prince of Pingxibo Mansion beside him.

It was only after Shangshu Kong finished his work that he heard that the Queen had come to the Shangshu Mansion, and he hurried back to the mansion.

Who is the Queen? She is the emperor's beloved and the mother of a country. She is pregnant now. If they fail to serve the Queen well, their entire Shangshu Mansion will probably be in trouble.

Even though the emperor did not follow this time, just from the people he sent to protect the queen, we can tell how much the emperor values the queen. He almost sent the entire Imperial City Bureau over.

It was an honor for their family that the queen came personally to handle their family affairs.

He had just hurried back when he met the Prince of Pingxi Marquis's Mansion who came with him. The two of them finally entered the house together. Before he entered the courtyard to pay his respects to the Queen, he heard such remarks from the rebellious son. Minister Kong was so angry that he was fuming. If the rebellious son wanted to die, he could die by himself, and not drag their Shangshu Mansion to die with him.

Now Shangshu Kong regrets even more. Why didn't they stop the old lady from spoiling her grandson? Not only did he spoil the child, but he also brought disaster to the entire Shangshu Mansion.

The veins on Minister Kong's neck bulged, and he almost growled, "You little bastard, the Queen has no right to speak, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Queen?"

Kong Lin stared at his father in disbelief, his cheeks burning with pain and his eyes bloodshot. "Dad, you actually hit me! This is the first time you've hit me since I was a child. Grandma, you have to make the decision for me."

"I should have beaten you a long time ago. If I had beaten you, you wouldn't have developed such a character. I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry that bitch, who brought disaster to the entire Shangshu Mansion." Shangshu Kong gasped in anger and raised his hand to slap Kong Lin on the other side of his face again.

Mrs. Kong has always doted on her grandson. Seeing Kong Lin being beaten, she could no longer sit still. She rushed forward and stood in front of Kong Lin, "That's enough. He is your only son. Do you still want to beat him to death? If you dare to beat him to death, you will have to trample over me, an old woman."

Looking at Old Madam Kong's expression, Minister Kong said helplessly, "Mother, how long are you going to spoil him? Will Mother let him ruin our entire Shangshu Mansion before you're satisfied? He's not the only one in our Shangshu Mansion. Mother can't be so selfish as to bring trouble to the entire Shangshu Mansion for just him."

Old Mrs. Kong originally wanted to continue protecting her grandson, but after hearing what her son said, she moved her old body and stepped aside.

Before Kong Lin could even yell "Grandma," Minister Kong slapped him in the face again and kicked him in the knee, forcing him to kneel straight down in pain. "Unfilial son, why don't you kowtow to the Empress and apologize for your crime?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault for not educating my son well, which led him to say such treasonous words. Your Majesty, please punish me." Minister Kong knelt respectfully in front of the empress.

The queen is kind-hearted and will not punish him severely.

If this matter comes to the attention of the Emperor, given how much he values the Empress, it's unclear how he will punish him. He has already reprimanded them before, and if he is punished again this time, he might even lose his position as Minister. He has worked diligently for so many years and finally climbed to his current position. If he falls because of this rebellious son, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

When Minister Kong saw Kong Lin remained silent, he glared at him fiercely and said, "Why don't you apologize now? Do you want to kill our entire family and your grandmother?"

"Dad, how can you blame me for this? It was Mu Yao who pacified the Xibo Mansion and deliberately used the imperial power to suppress our family and exonerate Mu Yao. It was obvious that it was Mu Yao who pushed Concubine Wen. Now this little girl actually confessed that Mu Yao did not push Concubine Wen. What else could they do except to exonerate themselves?" Kong Lin got angry and retorted with his neck stiff.

Minister Kong held his forehead helplessly, wondering how he could have raised such a rebellious son.

Before Minister Kong could speak, Gu Jianchu, who had been silent the entire time, spoke first. "Minister Kong, please stand up first. Young Master Kong is currently in a rebellious phase. Minister Kong, you don't have to insist on asking him to apologize to me. If you force him to apologize now, it will seem like I'm using my imperial power to pressure him. I'm sure he won't accept it afterwards, and if he doesn't accept it, he'll easily harbor resentment. It's better to deal with this matter first, and then ask him to apologize to me. What do you think, Minister Kong?"

Minister Kong's face suddenly turned red after hearing what Gu Jianchu said.
