Chapter 1463: You Showed No Kindness, So Don’t Blame Me for Being Ruthless

In the dimly lit room.

Ke Yong sat in a daze behind the desk, his eyes bloodshot, making him look haggard.

And on the desk, piled up were the official duties he had delayed handling during these days.

"Sir..." his confidant rushed in.

"How is it? Is Madam willing to come?" Ke Yong seemed to come alive, and hurriedly asked.

The confidant shook his head with difficulty: "Madam said... she is grieving her son’s death and has no heart to manage official duties. She asks you to handle them yourself, sir."

Ke Yong slumped on the chair in an instant.

The confidant suggested: "Sir, why not call your subordinates over to help?"

"Get out, get out!" Ke Yong suddenly got angry and threw a book at him.

The confidant was startled, quickly picked up the book, closed the door, and retreated.

Ke Yong looked at the desk full of official duties, feeling as if his head was going to explode.

In the past, all the official duties were handled by Fan Xinhui.

His wife, who was as skillful and tactful as Linglong, was adept at managing official matters.

And he was happy to be carefree like this for so many years.

Fan Xinhui busied herself here; he just needed to raise birds and drink tea.

But who would have thought, now his concubine Little Hong accidentally killed his son, Fan Xinhui was angry with him and naturally refused to handle the official duties anymore.

Her tantrums didn’t matter, but if he delayed official duties, he would be held accountable by the court!

Thinking of this, Ke Yong couldn’t help but feel great dissatisfaction with Fan Xinhui.

"A child dies, I’ve already knelt and apologized to her, why can’t she forgive me?" He began to talk to himself, critiquing Fan Xinhui’s faults.

"After so many years, she’s been out and about like a man, and I’ve never been harsh with her! Besides, the son’s death wasn’t caused by me, Little Hong has been sold off, and she still thinks it’s not enough, what does she want me to do?"

"If she’s unhappy, she ignores it; does she still see me as her husband?!"

The more Ke Yong thought about it, the angrier he became, yet he couldn’t do anything because he still relied on Fan Xinhui and the Fan Family to live.

At that moment.

The confidant came in again: "Sir..."

Ke Yong said irritably: "Now what!"

"Second Aunt entrusted someone to hand you this letter before she left; the person just delivered it and left. Please have a look, sir." The confidant handed over a red-sealed letter with both hands.

Ke Yong quickly opened it and scanned through the lines.

Only to see his expression change from initial irritation to a furious show of bulging veins.

"Outrageous, audacious!" he yelled.

The confidant was surprised: "Sir, what’s wrong?"

Ke Yong ignored him entirely.

Because, the matter Little Hong mentioned in the letter was simply disgraceful.

She actually claimed...

The son wasn’t Ke Yong’s but was born of Fan Xinhui and the tall guard A Jin by her side!

No wonder he always felt the child’s birth timing was off, but the entire Fan Family insisted it was his child.

Moreover, the only time he shared a room with Fan Xinhui that night, he was drunk into unconsciousness and remembered nothing.

But upon waking up, he was informed by Fan Xinhui that they had been intimate.

It turned out that this was all to force him to recognize that child of someone else as his own!

Considering how careful and accommodating he usually was, becoming the Fan Family’s son-in-law after enduring much ridicule from others, he endured it all.

But actually, she regarded him in her heart as a complete fool!

Ke Yong squeezed the letter tightly, his eyes fiercely glaring: "Fan Xinhui, you forced me into this; you treated me unjustly, do not blame me for being unrighteous!"
