Chapter 454

454 Enjoy your last day

Lóng Wei stopped by Xu Zifan’s house. He met both Xu Zifan and Feng Lao, who asked about his well-being. The Prince told them to meet Li Hua as she was missing them.

“Did His Highness forgive me?” Feng Lao inquired.

“Yes. That is why I am here. However, I am still angry at you. Despite my order, you chose to listen to her and General Hei. I hope it will not happen in the future. I will keep my trust in you because Li Hua trusts you,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Why don’t we go inside and talk, Your Highness?” Xu Zifan suggested it, but he refused.

“I have to leave for work,” Lóng Wei affirmed and left the Xu Residence.

Lóng Wei reached the office and encountered a few of the young officials who had joined recently. One among them was Li Jianjun, who had come specially to Lóng Wei’s office to greet him. He told Lóng Wei that he would work efficiently under his guidance.

“My guidance?” Lóng Wei snickered. “I do not guide people until he is close to me,” he said, warning him not to flatter him. He did not like those people who licked the shoes of the higher-ups.

“His Highness is taking me wrong,” Li Jianjun stated.

Zhai Liang gestured to him to be quiet. Jianjun bowed and silently left the office. He did not like the attitude that Lóng Wei carried, but he was the Governor, so Jianjun could not say anything to him.

.....

“Did Kang Huijuan submit the report?” Lóng Wei asked Zhai Liang.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Not now, Your Highness,” Zhai Liang replied.

“Tell him to report to me at noon. Currently, I have to finish the pending work. So, any news from the neighboring village? Did you solve that matter in my absence?” Lóng Wei inquired.

“Yes, I did, Your Highness. The landlord’s illegal properties are confiscated, and he is liable to pay those from whom he sucked out the money at a huge interest rate that was not decided by the Kingdom,” Zhai Liang reported to him. Lóng Wei hummed and applauded him for working so efficiently.

Lóng Wei told him to take the seat as he would work with him today. Zhai Liang was happy to learn that and picked up the first document, which needed the governor’s stamp of approval.

In the afternoon, Lóng Wei completed his pending work and told Zhai Liang to finish the petty matters.

Before Lóng Wei could leave, he told Zhai Liang to bring Kang Huijuan to him. After five minutes, Kang Huijuan came to see Lóng Wei. He had not prepared any report which was expected from him.

“This demonstrates your inability to be the official,” Lóng Wei said, clasping his hands together and resting them on the table.

“His Majesty knows my capabilities better than Prince Lóng Wei,” Kang Huijuan stated.

“Is it so? Then, why did His Majesty send you here?” Lóng Wei arched his brows and smirked. “Zhai Liang, give him the work that rank seventh officials do. If he refuses to do that work, then report that to me tomorrow,” he instructed his assistant.

Lóng Wei stood up and was ready to leave when Kang Huijuan told him not to play games with him.

“I have not even started, Kang Huijuan,” Lóng Wei sternly said. “I have still not been punished for the remark you made toward my wife,” he affirmed and walked past Kang Huijuan.

“I stated the fact, Prince Lóng Wei,” Kang Huijuan pronounced. Lóng Wei halted in his steps, and he turned to gaze at him.

“Your wife is good at winning the hearts of the men: first, the Crown Prince, then you, and last, Feng Lao. Ahh, forgive me for my mistake, Your Highness,” Kang Huijuan asserted.

“It should be Feng Lao first, then the Crown Prince, and last, Prince Lóng Wei. I have heard that she was supposed to marry Feng Lao. She was madly in love with him. The love in her eyes for Feng Lao is still visible. Feng Lao also loves her. What if this news spread wildly in the Kingdom? Rumors say that your mother had an affair after having you. “It appears your dear wife is no less than your mother,” Kang Huijuan finished speaking, a grin on his face.

He knew that Lóng Wei would now be desperate to kill him and this would become the reason for his suspension from the position of Governor.

Zhai Liang told Kang Huijuan to apologize to Prince Lóng Wei if he did not want to get punished.

“I am telling the truth. That is why His Highness is also quiet. His wife is no lesser than a whore. I am not saying this, but the people who saw both her and Feng Lao in the market that day,” Kang Huijuan pronounced while smirking at Lóng Wei.

Lóng Wei clenched his fist, but as Li Hua had told him not to let his anger reach his head and blur his vision, he decided to stay quiet. However, in his mind, he had decided to kill Kang Huijuan tonight. Lóng Wei would use the last pawn, which he had kept hidden for a long time. He wanted to see if Kang Huijuan would ever turn into a better human, but no such thing would ever happen.

“Enjoy your last day, Kang Huijuan,” Lóng Wei finally said, and the way he spoke was enough to intimidate someone. “Have a last nice meal with your family today,” he proclaimed and left the office.

Kang Huijuan chuckled and stepped forward when Zhai Liang stopped him.

“Follow me. I have to show you the work. “You must complete today’s goal before you are punished with the hands of Prince Lóng Wei,” Zhai Liang said as he took a step forward to leave.

“Do not tell the Prime Minister’s son what he should do and what he should not,” Kang Huijuan threatened Zhai Liang.

“Stop using your father’s position in front of me,” Zhai Liang said with a wide smile, and he ordered Kang Huijuan to follow him.
