Chapter 516: The Betrayal Scumbag 8
"What? Father actually wants to lock mother up in the ancestral hall," Kong Lishen said with a pale face, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
In fact, Kong Lishen knew clearly in his heart that his mother's drugging of his father must have been exposed, so his father locked his mother up in the ancestral hall.
What should I do? What should I do? Could it be that my father is taking his anger out on me too?
"What's going on? Why would my father lock my mother up in the ancestral hall for no reason?" Jiang Chunxi looked at the servant and asked:
"I don't know either," the servant cried, "Master, Madam, please go and beg the master now! Otherwise, what will Madam do? It's already autumn, and the ancestral hall is such a cold place. Madam's body won't be able to bear being locked up in there."
"Husband," Jiang Chunxi immediately looked at Kong Lishen and said, "Let's go see father now and ask him to release mother from the ancestral hall as soon as possible."
"No, we can't go," Kong Lishen said in a panic, "Father is furious right now. If we go to plead for mother now, he will definitely be angry with us too."
"We have to go!" Jiang Chunxi said anxiously, "Are we going to watch our mother being locked up in the ancestral hall just because we are afraid of our father's anger?"
"You go if you want to go. I don't want to see my father right now," Kong Lishen said excitedly. "My mother is imprisoned in the ancestral hall and her life is not in danger. As a son, why should I anger my father at this juncture? You only worry about my mother, why don't you think about me?"
"If I go to my father to plead for my mother at this time, and he gets angry and locks me up in the ancestral hall, what should I do?"
Jiang Chunxi looked at Kong Lishen in disbelief, and then his face was full of disappointment and anger: "Kong Lishen, how could you do this? She is your biological mother, and you, as a son, are so cruel as to ignore your own biological mother because you are worried about being pissed off."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then I will," Jiang Chunxi said with red eyes, "You as a son are unfilial, but I as a daughter-in-law cannot be unfilial. Mother loves me like her own daughter, and I can't watch her being imprisoned in the ancestral hall and suffer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi immediately walked outside.
Yaoying naturally hurriedly followed, and the servant who reported the matter glanced at the eldest master with complicated eyes, then hurriedly followed him out.
What about his biological son? Compared to the eldest young lady, the eldest son is nothing. If the lady knew that the eldest son was so unfilial, she would be so angry that she would die.
When Jiang Chunxi came to see Kong's father, Kong's father didn't want to see her. But Jiang Chunxi was making a fuss outside and refused to leave, so Kong's father had no choice but to let her in.
"Father, I heard that you locked mother up in the ancestral hall. Why is that? What did mother do wrong to make you so cruel to lock her up in the ancestral hall?" Jiang Chunxi asked anxiously as she walked in:
"Is this how you talk to your elders?" Kong's father said with a dark face, "Get lost. You younger people shouldn't get involved in the affairs of your elders. Don't take advantage of my love for you and treat your father-in-law with disrespect as a daughter-in-law."
"Father," Jiang Chunxi knelt on the ground, "My daughter-in-law's tone just now was just because she was too anxious. I didn't mean to disrespect you. If you are angry, you can punish me however you want, but can you please let mother out of the ancestral hall?"
Then, Jiang Chunxi's tears fell, "It's already autumn now. How can mother's body withstand such a cold place like the ancestral hall? If father insists on locking mother in the ancestral hall, then let the daughter-in-law bring some warm clothes and quilts to mother. We can't let mother freeze to death in the ancestral hall tonight!"
Seeing Jiang Chunxi's filial piety, Kong's father became even angrier: "For what that vicious woman did, freezing her to death in the ancestral hall is the retribution she deserves."
"Chun Xi, before I get angry, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for locking you up in the ancestral hall as well."
"Father……"
"Madam, the eldest young master," Yao Ying said quickly, "The master is so angry now, please don't make him angry again. I know you are filial to the lady, but don't you want to be unfilial to the master?"
"You know that the master is so angry, but you still add fuel to the fire. Isn't this disobedience and unfilial? You can't be unfilial to the master just to be filial to the lady!"
"Look," said Kong's father, "even a servant can understand the truth, but you are still stubborn. You only know how to be filial to your mother-in-law, don't you know how to be filial to your father-in-law? Or do you have to make me angry to the point of death, then you will be happy."
"Get back here right now, or you will be imprisoned in the ancestral hall for being disobedient and unfilial."
Jiang Chunxi wanted to say something else, but Yao Ying stopped her: "Madam, please stop irritating the master. Let's go back first!"
Jiang Chunxi couldn't stop crying, and then she kowtowed to Kong's father: "It's my daughter-in-law who is unfilial. Father, don't be angry with me. I'm leaving now."
As soon as Jiang Chunxi finished speaking, Yaoying hurriedly helped her up.
After Jiang Chunxi and her servant left, Kong's father called the housekeeper in.
"The eldest son will stay in the eldest young lady's courtyard tonight, right?" Father Kong looked at the housekeeper and asked:
"Yes," the butler replied respectfully, "The eldest young master and his wife are newlyweds, so they will naturally stay in the wife's yard tonight."
Then the housekeeper looked at the master nervously, and then continued: "When the servants in the Madam's courtyard went to the eldest young lady's courtyard to report, they heard that the eldest young master refused to come to plead for Madam, and the eldest young lady even scolded the eldest young master for this."
"You are indeed the son of that vicious woman," said Kong's father with a sneer, "Okay, get out now!"
Kong Lishen's unfilial behavior made his father more and more disgusted with his son, but he couldn't do anything to his son now. One can imagine how angry and frustrated Kong's father felt.
On the way back, Jiang Chunxi and Yaoying were gloating as Yaoying whispered, "Madam, this is good. We have finally dealt with that vicious woman, Madam, who has a good mouth but a scorpion heart. You can finally get your dowry back."
"And the eldest son," Yao Ying's face was filled with disgust when she mentioned Kong Lishen, "I never thought that the eldest son would be so unfilial to Madam. He was even unwilling to plead for Madam. If Madam knew that her own son was so unfilial, I wonder if she would be so angry that she would die."
"She'll be mad to death," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "How can that vicious woman, Madam, be so easily mad to death? But even if she can't be mad to death, she should be informed. Otherwise, how will she know how unfilial her own son is?"
