Chapter 1382: 1382 They're Kind

1382 They’re Kind

“After his wife passed away, Kang Ru never remarried. No matter how Old Madam Kang tried, he didn’t compromise. Later on, as he got older, Kang Jichuan, the only son in the family, inherited the title. Thus, Old Madam Kang stopped forcing him.”

A complicated look appeared in Gu Zheng’s eyes. “In that case, Madam Kang is…”

“Xia Yunqiu.” Song Shijing lowered his eyes.

Gu Zheng sneered. “As expected.”

“Also…” Song Shijing paused. “Kang Jichuan is a vegetarian, but it’s not strange as everyone has their own beliefs. But I heard that he even invites exorcists to his house to perform rituals. He’d look for a quiet place to pray every month as well.”

Gu Zheng’s lips curled into a cold smile, and a trace of playfulness appeared in his eyes.

“Kang Jichuan told the public that he prays for his deceased mother and sickly sister. However, I’ve asked around. He didn’t look for exorcists to pray for blessings but… to exorcise the souls of the dead.”

“The souls of the dead?” Gu Zheng abruptly looked up.

“Yes.” Song Shijing was very sure. “Kang Jichuan instructed them to exorcise the souls of the dead, but they don’t know who they are. Maybe it’s his mother, but I keep having the feeling that something’s wrong. After all, Kang Jichuan’s mother left when he was very young. He doesn’t have a deep relationship with his mother, so he wouldn’t invite people to exorcise souls every year. Moreover…”

In C Nation’s culture, souls who died of natural causes did not need to be exorcised. The souls that Kang Jichuan wishes to exorcise must be people who left with resentment and unwillingness. However, who around Kang Jichuan was unwilling to die?

Song Shijing said thoughtfully, “I keep having the feeling that Kang Jichuan killed someone. He goes into seclusion every year to pray for blessings and perform rituals because of his guilty conscience. However, he has a good reputation. He’s gentle and respectful. He doesn’t look like someone who can harm others.”

“What’s Kang Ru’s reputation like?” Gu Zheng asked.

“The Kang family is a noble in Y Nation, and Kang Ru is a noble earl. Outsiders naturally don’t dare to discuss him rashly. I heard that Kang Ru and Kang Jichuan are famous for their gentle tempers and kind hearts.”

Kind-hearted?

Hah!

This reminded Gu Zheng of He Weinian. He was also a kind-hearted person in the eyes of outsiders, but he did all kinds of evil behind everyone’s backs.

Whether the Kang family was wearing a hypocritical mask or if it was really as Song Shijing had said, it remained to be seen.

Song Shijing added, “Not only that, but Kang Ru is also a romantic. He doted on his wife very much. Even after his wife passed away for so many years, he never remarried. Many socialites know that he’s romantic and has a noble status. They all wanted to marry him, but he refused all of them.

“Kang Ru isn’t outstanding in business, and Kang Jichuan is also ordinary. However, the Kang family’s identity is obvious. A hundred-year-old noble family like theirs is powerful. Even without any assets, they can still live very comfortably.

“The father and son have good reputations not because of their ability and talent, but because they’re gentle, refined, and kind-hearted. They’re sought after by some women.

“Kang Jichuan and Kang Ru are very similar. He’s respectful, humble, and doesn’t have any bad habits. He can be considered a clean man among the noble young masters of Y Nation.”

At this point, Song Shijing suddenly paused. “There’s not much news about the daughter of the Kang family. Her name is Kang Qingzhi. She has been sick since she was young and can’t go out. Even at banquets held by the Kang family, she rarely attends. However, Old Madam Kang dotes on her granddaughter very much. The servants at home have a good impression of her too. They all say that she’s gentle and kind-hearted like her brother.”

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. In the eyes of outsiders, everyone in the Kang family was kind. However, this was not the case in Xi Xi’s dream.

“I heard that Miss Kang’s illness suddenly became serious when she was 16 years old. Everyone said that she didn’t have long to live. The doctor said that she could live for another month at most, so he got the Kang family to bring her home to prepare for her funeral. However, not long after, she suddenly recovered. Although she’s still weak and sick, at least she can take care of herself and go out alone.”

Gu Zheng suddenly clenched his fists. It was indeed so.

Xi Xi’s blood was drawn when she was 15 years old, and her blood could revive one. Kang Qingzhi was clearly about to die, but she suddenly survived. Everything seemed to make sense now.
