Once Rong Ling left, the next step was Rong Qikeng's trial. Faced with all the facts, Rong Qikeng could only be passive and obedient. Previously, these uncles had feelings for him because they watched him grow up.
, partly because he took advantage of his father, Rong Feiwu, and gave him great support. But he did something that was unfair, and Rong Feiwu was not present today, so everyone was cold towards him.
!
completely lose hope!
Basically, the result of his treatment is to immediately step down as the president of Yadong Group and the head of the family, and then conduct further discussions to see how he should be punished and whether he should be punished.
He kicked out the Rong family and announced to the public that Rong Qikeng would have nothing to do with the Rong family from now on.
Because of Rong Sanbo's matter, Rong Feiwu and several other important figures in the clan were running around and could not come to attend this meeting. Therefore, Rong Qikeng was given a "suspended death" and was relieved for the time being.
This also gave him a chance to save himself. Right now, what he needed to do most was to ask for help. So, he immediately found his mother, the wife of the former head of the family who was quite resourceful and well respected by people in the clan.
Du Caiyi had already learned the whole story, and she was really angry at Rong Qikeng. When she saw Rong Qikeng, she completely lost her intellectual and elegance as a lady, raised her arms, and started to fight without caring.
He walked over, beating and cursing at the same time.[
"You brat, you brat, how could you do such a thing..."
"You bastard, how did I teach you, how did your father teach you, how did the clan teach you, you bastard, how could you do such a thing..."
"You've already taken this position. What else can't you be satisfied with? Why can you stretch your hands so long? You bastard, you just broke my heart..."
As she cursed and cursed, Du Caiyi started to cry. Slightly turbid tears slowly slid down her well-maintained face. She didn't bother to wipe it, but opened her red eyes and wiped her face harder every time.
Qi Keng. No matter how she thought about it, she never thought that her son would actually pry into the corner of her house, and he would do it to Rong San. Rong San is the trunk of the big tree. The Rong family can prosper and have luxuriant branches.
, thanks to his support. Why on earth did this kid get so obsessed that he did such a thing of stabbing someone in the back! Such a thing is simply a serious crime, and there is not even a little room for change.
Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't.
The more Du Caiyi thought about it, the sadder she became. Finally, when she was tired from the beating, she covered her face and cried loudly.
She had been looking forward to this son becoming the head of the family for how many years. She was so prosperous back then, and she always thought that her son was a good one. She also took it for granted that her son had the strength to sit in that position, and that he should also
It belongs to him. She and her husband have struggled for so many years to build a strong Rong family. Why can't her son inherit it?! But she has been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally he came up, but how long did it take before he went down?
It would be fine if this was a conspiracy played by Rong Ling or others, but unfortunately, everything that got to this point was directed by her son himself. How could she bear this? How could she bear it?!
"Rong Qikeng, you really hurt my mother's heart, you really hurt my mother's heart..."
Hearing this, Rong Qikeng also shed tears in his eyes. Only when things got to this point did he regret it, but it was too late. When he originally set up such a plan, how could he have expected that this would happen?
What happened?! He just felt that his luck was too bad, and Rong Ling was so damn lucky. He just dumped the burden of Yadong, but something happened to Yadong later. He even resented Rong Ling, and even
Narrow-minded, he wondered if Rong Ling had already known that such a day would come, so he would have retreated so simply?!
But today, these thoughts can only pass through his mind, and he can never say them out again. That is completely meaningless!
Seeing his mother crying so sadly, Rong Qikeng felt uncomfortable. To be honest, his mother had nothing to say about her kindness to him. She was really thinking about him, and he was in this situation. Indeed, I'm sorry.
own mother.
"Mom..." Rong Qikeng choked slightly, and the soft part in his heart felt like a needle prick. He reached out to hug his mother to persuade her, but Du Caiyi waved her hand hard and opened it. He gritted his teeth,
With a "plop", he knelt down in front of Du Caiyi.
"Mom, Mom!" Rong Qikeng shouted, tears representing the weak hung on his face, which was full of sadness.
"Mom, it's your son who is sorry for you. It's your son's fault. It's all your son's fault. My son apologizes to you. Don't cry. Don't cry. Mom, mom——, my son is wrong, wrong, wrong...
"
Rong Qikeng roared, his face turned red and his neck thickened, and the veins on his neck swelled.
When Du Caiyi saw this, she lowered her hands covering her face. Although she was still angry when she saw her son like this, her heartache and reluctance quickly rushed into her heart.
"Mother--"
Rong Qikeng cried, really cried. He looked up at his mother, and big tears fell from his face that represented fortitude. This was very touching!
Du Caiyi's tears stopped, and she looked at her son who was crying like a big boy now, with a complicated expression. Is this a piece of flesh that fell from his body? Has he ever been so high-spirited? Ever since he grew up
Damn, has he ever cried like this?!
Mother, how can you be willing to see your children so sad?! [
Upon seeing this, Rong Qikeng immediately hugged Du Caiyi's thigh and put his head against it, wailing like a wounded beast.
After Du Caiyi looked stunned, he suddenly wiped his face, wiped away his tears, and drank in a low voice.
"stand up!"
Rong Qikeng hugged her legs, still kneeling and motionless.
"Get up, what do you look like like this?" Du Caiyi scolded. "You are my son. If something happens, you can't just cry!"
When Rong Qikeng heard this, his heart immediately lit up. He knew that his mother had an idea, and he immediately cried and begged.
"Mom, if you want to help me, you must help me!"
"Get up!" Du Caiyi kicked his legs hard, his voice filled with the majesty of a superior. "I'll let you get up!"
This was already a warning, and it also meant that her patience had run out.
Rong Qikeng immediately let go of his hand and stood up in a hurry, bending down and looking at Du Caiyi with red eyes. He was such a tall man, he was a head taller than Du Caiyi, but standing in front of her, he bent down
, hunched back, slumped shoulders, and lowered his head, just like a big dog that only obeys orders.
"What you did is really unforgivable." Du Caiyi looked at his son coldly. "Mom will beat you half to death. Qi Kang, you have to understand that what you have done is really
What does it mean?"
Rong Qikeng's face became even droopier.
Du Caiyi let out a long sigh.
"Now, this is not the time for me to investigate you in detail. You should first tell me all the bastard things you have done. You are not allowed to hide anything! Only after I understand the situation can I think of ways to help you!"
She will definitely not be able to keep her position as the head of the family. However, it is still possible for her to use some means to keep her son's wealth for the rest of his life.
When Rong Qikeng heard this, he felt reassured. He knew what his mother was capable of. So, he immediately behaved and told everything he had done. At this moment
, he did not hide anything, even including some small calculations he had made in private, targeting Rong Sanbo and the He family.
After Du Caiyi heard this, he felt sad and depressed in his heart. After all, these things were ultimately caused by Rong Ling. If he hadn't suddenly returned to the Rong family, Rong San would not have diverted his attention and placed high hopes on him. In the end, he
Helping him took away the position that his son should have had as the head of the family. She understood that her son was resentful because of this. When he took the position of the head of the family, he was eager to express himself, so he made such a big move. She
It's understandable, but unfortunately, Rong Ling counterattacked again, and Rong San, who completely defended Rong Ling. It's understandable that his son was anxious and wanted Rong San to come down.
But he failed because his foundation was unstable and he acted too hastily!
And she was also at fault. When Rong Ling was kicked out, she felt a sense of relief in her heart. She just wanted to be proud and proud, and could finally trample Rong Ling's mother under her feet. So not only did she watch her son treat her
Rong Ling suppressed her, and she personally took action, which made Rong San unhappy. To be honest, she didn't like Rong San in her heart. But who would have thought that Rong Ling's cunning boy would have a descendant?
It was recruited, but it got up so quickly.
hateful!
But it’s no use thinking about it now!
"There is still room for change in your third uncle's matter!"[
Rong Qikeng's eyes immediately opened up and he looked at his mother eagerly.
"Like you said, although you really wanted to drag your third uncle down, it was excusable. Your third uncle prefers Rong Ling. This is something everyone knows, so you felt angry and did it for a while.
If you are confused, this can help you a lot. Moreover, you can also blame the He family. You can show that you just had this intention, but did not actually do anything, but you did not expect that the He family was suddenly investigated.
, so you are implicated. This can also help you alleviate some of your crimes. I will go back and help you lobby, and I will also ask your father to intervene to protect you. It should not be a big problem, but - "
Du Caiyi's tone became more severe. "You must do something now to improve your impression in everyone's mind. From what I see, the one you can attack now is the He family. Find a way to prevent the He family from dragging you down.
. And try to find a way to negotiate a big deal so that your assessment will look better before you are officially ordered to step down. When the time comes, your father and I can help you find a good position."
Mother and son were so close to each other that Rong Qikeng naturally nodded repeatedly.
"You made a big mistake regarding the He family. You shouldn't have provoked them in the first place." Du Caiyi lectured coldly.
Rong Qikeng lowered his head. In this matter, he could no longer push the responsibility onto Rong Ling so as to make excuses for himself.
Du Caiyi is not the kind of person who spends a lot of time on regrets. She prefers to look forward, and this is still the case now.
"Since the He family's affairs are like this, let's forget about it. Now, you first coax the He family and ask them not to reveal the unsaid things. Just wait for our family to pass this hurdle.
You should immediately cut off your relationship with the He family. As for the child in He Ya's belly, find a way to get rid of it. I don't want to have anything to do with the He family anymore."
Rong Qikeng should still be the one. The He family is definitely a thorn in his heart now, and he would definitely want to get rid of him faster than anyone else. If it weren't for the fact that he was too tight with the He family before,
So he revealed too much. When the incident happened in the He family early in the morning, he should have kicked the He family away.
"You can also turn disadvantages into advantages."
After thinking for a while, Du Caiyi said again, "As you said, the He family is concerned about you and has not told others about some things. Therefore, the punishment for you by the family will definitely not be very serious, because the He family needs to be coaxed.
To prevent the situation from becoming more serious.”
Speaking of this, Du Caiyi's eyes lit up.
She felt that she had a solution.
As soon as Rong Feiwu arrived home, Rong Qikeng, who had been instructed by Du Caiyi, repeated his old trick and knelt in front of Rong Feiwu.
"Dad, please hit me. My son is wrong. Please help your son!"
Rong Feiwu had been running around in recent days and was a little exhausted mentally and physically, but he still gave up his remaining strength and beat Rong Qikeng hard. Later, the more he beat, the more frustrated he felt, so he took off his belt again and whipped Rong Qikeng.
Du Caiyi endured her heartache and watched him twitch for a long time. She must have relieved a lot of her anger, and then she came forward to persuade him.
"Okay, okay, stop hitting, stop hitting, now is not the time to hit someone, you have to think about what to do next?!"
"What should I do? What else can I do? This scoundrel, this fool..."
Rong Qikeng cursed and wanted to hit him, but the belt in his hand was suddenly snatched away by Du Caiyi, and then he was thrown to the ground with a "crack" sound.
"Beat, you know how to beat. I'm sorry this son was not born with your hard work, so you don't know how it hurts?! Or, you have a better one outside, so you feel that this son was beaten to death."
It doesn’t matter, right?!”
What kind of person is Rong Feiwu? When he heard that there was something in Du Caiyi's words, he felt very unhappy and his tone was gloomy.
"Don't talk so sarcastically. Isn't it because of you that your son is like this?"
"I'm used to it?!" Du Caiyi sneered. "Whoever didn't say good-bye to my son when he met him before was just you. Didn't you think so too?! But who brought Rong Ling back and then died like that?
He suppressed our son. In the past ten years, the most glorious and energetic period of his life, he suppressed him to death and missed the opportunity to display his ambition. Rong Feiwu, let me tell you, all of this is yours.
Wrong! Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today!”
Rong Feiwu was stabbed all of a sudden, and his face was a little stiff.
Du Caiyi immediately softened her tone and adopted a tender offensive. With tears streaming down her face, she interceded for her son, saying that Rong Qikeng and how it was not easy for her to be a mother. She also said that Rong Qikeng was really "forced" to do this.
, not only to express my feelings, but also to show myself to everyone.
In short, Du Caiyi and Rong Feiwu have been husband and wife for so many years, how can they not understand his temper?!
Eat soft food and not hard food!
She spoke softly with aggrieved words, and Rong Feiwu's rising anger was extinguished.
"Fifth brother, you used to protect Rong Ling, fearing that we Qi Keng would bully Rong Ling, but see for yourself, there was never a time when Rong Ling wasn't bullying us Qi Keng. Look at everything he did.
Yes, this time, he didn't even say hello again, he went directly to the fourth brother and took care of our Qi Keng without consulting you. How can Rong Ling be patient? We Qi Keng is what is needed
You're worried."
"That's because he didn't live up to his expectations." Rong Feiwu fumed angrily.
Du Caiyi wiped away her tears and cried. "What's wrong with living up to expectations? Qikeng has just taken over Yadong's affairs. Without the He family's affairs, it would not have been easy for him to do this. I think back then, you just became the head of the family."
At that time, wasn't it true that he was in a hurry and caused some troubles?! When Rong Ling was the head of the family, didn't it take him more than a year to make things in the clan and Yadong more secure?
Running?! We are really not bad at starting, but we are really unlucky. Before we can properly buffer it, we have been implicated by the He family!"
"Didn't he bring this upon himself?!" Rong Feiwu snorted, but was somewhat persuaded by Du Caiyi.
Du Caiyi saw that his expression was a little relaxed, so he naturally kept up his efforts and spoke eloquently.
When Rong Feiwu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was simply whimsical.
"You still want him to sit in this position?! He did something like that and still wants to stay in this position. This is simply impossible!"
Du Caiyi said unhurriedly. "I am not doing this for us, but for our Rong family, for the third brother. Think about it, why did the He family help us Qi Keng hide those things? Isn't it because of He?"
That He Ya of the family is pregnant with a child. Isn’t it because the He family is still dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period and Xiao misses the position of the head of the family. If we continue like this, you say, the He family will be gone.
How can you still do this if you have hope?! People who have no hope are very crazy. Fifth brother, think about it for yourself, is this the truth what I said?!"
Rong Feiwu squinted his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became profound. After a while, after thinking carefully, he nodded.
Du Caiyi said again, "Qi Keng has made such a big mistake, and that position will definitely no longer be his. Qi Keng also told me that he doesn't want to do this at all. Now that he proposes this idea, he also wants to make up for his mistakes.
Let’s get over this hurdle first. Once Third Uncle survives, we can then deal with the He family and silence them. It won’t be a piece of cake!”
Rong Feiwu nodded again. Du Caiyi immediately felt happy, carefully observed Rong Feiwu's face, and suggested softly. "Then, fifth brother, let's discuss it carefully, and then talk to fourth brother and the others.
Let’s talk. It’s better to do this sooner rather than later!”
Rong Feiwu raised his hand and signaled Du Caiyi to stop talking and to think carefully.
Du Caiyi's heart became a little excited. After being married for many years, she also understood that when her husband made such an action, she should not disturb him.
Standing there, although she tried hard to persuade Rong Feiwu, she was not completely confident. After all, her husband was not that easy to fool.
Sure enough, the worst she had imagined happened.
"If you have any other plans, just tell them!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Du Caiyi's face. Occasionally, there would be a moment when she would feel that she had no place to hide in front of her husband, and that she could not hide anything from him.
"Tell me, don't keep me in the dark anymore, otherwise, I won't care if anything happens again!"
How could he know that his wife was so righteous and righteous, saying that it was all for the family was just a high-profile rhetoric. Moreover, the Rong family had gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, and no one had the complete confidence to say that he
Everything he did was for the family, including himself!
Du Caiyi's heart trembled, and when she met Rong Feiwu's sharp gaze, she gritted her teeth and explained everything. After all, she allowed Rong Qikeng to continue to be the head of the family for the time being, and more importantly, she wanted Rong Qikeng to remain the head of the family.
Relying on this position, he can negotiate more business deals so that the tribe will have a better impression of him and give him a better way out. She won't say this to Rong Feiwu now. After everyone agrees to let Rong Qikeng continue to be the head of the family, she will
She still had to tell Rong Feiwu about this, because she still needed Rong Feiwu's help when discussing business. However, she didn't tell her before because she was careful, fearing that Rong Feiwu would be angry.
Rong Feiwu was really angry.
"You still want to let him discuss business?! That's nonsense. Do you think that Yadong belongs to our family and can do whatever he wants?! The clansmen are not stupid, and they can still let him handle business! Let him continue
Staying in that position is an expedient measure, it is already a huge favor, and you still expect him to still have real power?! This is absolutely impossible, and the clansmen cannot agree!"
Now many people hate him so much that they want to beat him up, but they can still hold Rong Qikeng up like that and pretend that nothing happened?!
"The Rong family is not my house. It doesn't matter what I say. This won't work!"
"Fifth brother, Qi Keng is our son, we can't just watch him lose everything!"
Rong Qikeng had a gloomy face. "Who do you blame for the evil you did?"
"You are his father, and his son is like this. As parents, we can only help as much as we can. Fifth brother, Qifeng, this child was raised by you, so you can help.
He, I know, you can do it, and the tribe will listen to you!"
"I can't!" Rong Fei Wuhu made a face. "For him, as a father, I can't help anymore. I wasn't the one who helped him drive Rong Ling away?! At the beginning, I didn't help him drive Rong Ling away?!
, it’s not me who pulls off this old face and goes around interceding for him?! At this point, my old face has no shame, so how can I help?!”
Du Caiyi suddenly frowned.
Rong Feiwu said again, "That's it. He can just be a puppet head of the family. When this matter is over, give him a sum of money and he can go abroad to make a living on his own."
The meaning of "revelation" in those words was to let Rong Qikeng leave the Rong family!
This is what Du Caiyi least wants to see, and it is also something Rong Qikeng absolutely cannot bear! He does not have the guts! The Rong family is his best shelter from the rain. He has grown up in the Rong family for thirty-eight years.
If he were to leave the Rong family now, he would feel that he didn't even have the shell to protect himself, so it would be better to kill him directly.
"Dad -" Rong Qikeng screamed sadly, and crawled towards Rong Feiwu in a kneeling posture, hugging his legs. "Dad, I don't want it, please help me, help me..."
As he spoke, the man shed tears and ran out again.
Rong Feiwu looked upset. "Why are you crying? You're a man, so don't cry!"
Rong Feiwu turned his attention to Du Caiyi for help.
Du Caiyi suddenly clenched his fist, took a step forward, and knelt down with a "plop". This frightened Rong Feiwu, and his eyes suddenly widened. He knew very well what kind of character this wife was.
But today, she, who is aloof and arrogant by nature, knelt down to him!
He felt that this kneeling was too heavy!
Du Cai recalled crying, and the tears had already formed.
"Fifth brother, we have been married for many years. Even when I was the saddest and most difficult, I never asked you. Today, I beg you, please help our son."
Those eyes that frequently shed tears looked at Rong Feiwu with such pleading. Du Caiyi's appearance and kneeling posture made Rong Feiwu feel his heart tightening and relaxing at the same time.
"Mom——" Rong Qikeng was greatly shocked when he saw this. He turned around and hugged his mother, then howled lowly again and kept saying, "Mom, it's my son who is sorry for you. It's my son who has dragged you down.
It's your son who deserves to die, it's your son's fault, it's your son who's sorry for you, it's your son who's sorry for you..."
Du Caiyi stretched out a hand and hugged Rong Qikeng's head. Tears rolled down her face even more violently, but she looked up at Rong Feiwu with good eyesight.
"Fifth brother, please!"
"This is our son!"
Rong Feiwu felt very uncomfortable when he saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying. His wife and son both knelt in front of him, crying and begging him, what else could he do?!
Sighing, he nodded heavily.
Du Caiyi immediately felt relieved. She knew that she made the right move in this move. And she also expected that her husband still had this ability. After all, he was the former head of the family. He was also a strong and prosperous person.
At this moment, when the Rong family has no one, don't everyone still have to rely on him and obey his orders?!
*
That night, Rong Ling learned from a close confidant of the Rong family that the family had executed Rong Qikeng and still made him the head of the family. They would only wait for Rong Sanbo's incident to pass before making any judgments. The corner of his mouth immediately changed.
There was a cold sneer.
Rong Feiwu, you really spared no effort for this white-eyed wolf's son!
But Adou, who cannot help himself, can still show you a miracle?!
Then the He family, the ones who are best at adapting to the changing circumstances, can they really withstand pressure and be tenacious and unyielding?!
Once the enemy starts a war, will they give you a chance to breathe and get ready?
ridiculous!
And he won't allow it!
If he touches someone he cares about, don't expect to escape unscathed!
------Digression-----
I strongly recommend my friend's article "Lingering", a modern urban masterpiece, and a work on Xiaoxiang's total subscription list. It is wonderful and not to be missed~
He and she were in love every night, but there was only a physical fit, no love commitment; she gave birth to his child, devoted her heart to him, and wanted to be his wife and love each other for a lifetime, but he said she was not worthy!
