290 A despicable man
When Lóng Wei revealed that he had evidence regarding Kang Huijuan’s wrongdoings, it brought a terrified expression on his face.
Lóng Wei looked in the King’s direction and asked for his permission. “If His Majesty allows, then I want to show the evidence where it is mentioned that Xin Jue, the servant in the Kang’s family, was left pregnant by Kang Huijuan.”
“Prince Lóng Wei is allowed to present the evidence,” Qiu Zedong said.
“Prince Lóng Wei must not lie,” Kang Huijuan said. He had burned the records where Xin Jue’s name was mentioned. He was confident that Lóng Wei was trying to trick everyone present in the court.
To his surprise, Lóng Wei took out a record book from inside his robe. Kang Huijuan widened to see that and his eyes met Lóng Wei’s.
“You should have to get rid of it in your house, Kang Huijuan,” Lóng Wei said as he flipped through the pages of the record book. “Xin Jue’s name is mentioned here, Your Majesty,” Lóng Wei said as he stopped at the center of the page.
Xiaoming came to Lóng Wei and looked at the record book for that name. He glanced at Kang Huijuan and then at his father. “Brother Lóng Wei is right. Xin Jue’s name is present here,” Xiaoming informed the King and took the record book from Lóng Wei.
“She joined the Kang family as a servant nine months ago, Your Majesty,” Xiaoming stated.
“Huang Xi, please bring Xin Jue to the imperial court,” Lóng Wei requested. Huang Xi bowed and walked out of the imperial court.
.....
After a while, Huang Xi entered with Xin Jue, who was now in the sixth month of her pregnancy. She tried to bow before the King, but Qiu Zedong asked her not to do so. She bowed her head and greeted the King.
“Your Majesty, this is Xin Jue. I used to work as a servant in the kitchen of the Kang Residence,” Xin Jue said, keeping her eyes low.
“Is it true that Kang Huijuan did this to you? Did he try to take away your life when you asked him to marry you?” Xiaoming questioned her on behalf of the King.
“Yes, Your Royal Highness,” Xin Jue answered, and she broke into tears. “The Sixth Prince helped me that time and saved my life and my child,” she said, resting her hand on her belly. She lifted her head and looked at Lóng Wei, whose gaze was fixed at Kang Huijuan.
“I am truly thankful to His Highness for saving my and my baby’s life that day. His Highness beat the Prime Minister’s son because he got angry seeing my state. I could have died at the very moment, but like a God, the Sixth Prince arrived at the right time and gave me this life,” Xin Jue stated and for a brief moment, glanced at the King at the throne.
Everyone fell silent to hear Xin Jue.
“Kang Xi, do you recognize this woman?” Qiu Zedong wanted to check if Kang Xi would also lie like his son.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I saw this servant in my residence. I didn’t remember the name though,” Kang Xi told the truth, instead of concealing the lies of his son.
Kang Xi realized that his son’s foolishness would bring doom to the entire Kang Family. The trust that the King had in the Kang family would soon vanish. It took him almost half of his life to make the Kang family strong enough among all the noble families, but his son destroyed his hard-work in merely minutes. Kang Xi was devastated and had nothing more to say.
He had a daughter, and if someone did this to her, he would definitely be heartbroken. Upon finding that his own son did such a thing to another woman and then refused to marry her, Kang Xi lowered his head in shame.
“Do you want to marry, Xin Jue?” Qiu Zedong inquired her.
“No, Your Majesty,” Xin Jue politely refused.
Qiu Zedong hummed. “Where are you staying?” he asked another question.
“Your Majesty, it is the residence of Eunuch Gao Bing. That was the safest place for her to live without any worries. Gao Bing helped a lot,” Lóng Wei asserted.
Qiu Zedong narrowly gazed at Gao Bing, wondering why he didn’t inform him.
“Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao Bing didn’t know anything regarding this. I kept it a secret since I didn’t have evidence at that time,” Lóng Wei stated.
“Kang Huijuan, do you have to say anything?” Qiu Zedong questioned him.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Kang Huijuan said.
“You may speak,” Qiu Zedong allowed him.
“This woman is lying. The child inside her womb isn’t my child. I tried to kill her because she was accusing me of being his father. I never had any physical relationship with her. This woman even lied to the Sixth Prince about it,” Kang Huijuan pronounced.
Lóng Wei squinted and scrunched his brows.
“I don’t dare to lie, Your Majesty,” Xin Jue said, and her breathing became erratic. “This child is of Young Master Kang,” she stated, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
“I can prove to everyone here that this child isn’t mine. The real father is a lowly servant who worked in the Kang residence for over a year. He is the father of this child, and this woman claimed it to be mine. That’s why I tried to kill her. I am ready to take the punishment for the part where I never told the truth to anyone and let Prince Lóng Wei get the punishment. But I will never take punishment for the work I never did,” Kang Huijuan pronounced.
Lóng Wei chuckled to hear his words. Kang Huijuan broke all the limits of being evil.
“You are such a despicable man, Kang Huijuan. I wish I had killed you that day. You think that you can prove your lie to be true! I will never let it happen,” Lóng Wei affirmed.
Kang Huijuan turned to look at him. “Your Highness, this woman told a lie to you. I understand your anger. I sincerely apologize to you for that. But I must bring out the remaining truth which this woman hid from His Highness too,” Kang Huijuan said, giving a smirk to Lóng Wei.
