Only then did Kong Shangtan understand the meaning of what his brothers and elders reminded him before coming, that the capital was not the best place.
Soon after Kong Shantan returned to the place where he stayed, countless invitations and people came to invite him to his house.
"Brother, please tell those waiting outside that I have been ill recently and haven't seen anyone!"
Kong Shangtan turned his gaze to the clan brother aside and gave the order.
When the clan brother heard what Kong Shangtan said, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he spoke cautiously.
"The remaining people are easy to deal with, but the housekeeper of Yan Mansion is also waiting outside!"
"What, the housekeeper of Yan Mansion!"
After listening to the clan brother's report, Kong Shangtan's face was full of disbelief and he immediately lost his voice.
After all, after he came to the capital, he easily found out from various channels what happened to his elder brother, the previous Yanshenggong Kong Shangxian, after he came to the capital.
Although Kong Shangtan could understand the Yan family's original intention of doing this, which was to prevent him from getting involved in this troublesome matter, this matter was a bit too ugly, and he was not even allowed to enter through the door!
After that, Kong Shangtan came back to his senses and went straight to the point without any hesitation.
"No, clan brother, please tell the housekeeper of Yan Mansion later that I am ill and will not go!"
Seeing Kong Shangtan's resolute attitude, the clan brother suddenly showed a sad look on his face. Soon, he leaned down and tried to comfort him.
"An Zhi, now that you have inherited Yan Shenggong, you can no longer look at things the way you used to!"
"You are not representing one person now, you are representing the entire Kong family now, and you are representing Yan Shenggong!"
"No matter what, the Yan family still has an in-law relationship with our Kong family. At present, the Yan family has one family and two elders, and it can be said that it is full of power. If our Kong family wants to survive better, we must not Can lose their help!"
Kong Shangtan looked at the clan brother in front of him who was begging for him, with a look of unwillingness on his face. Immediately, he bit his lips and said slowly.
"Brother, please tell the housekeeper of Yan Mansion, I will be there tonight!"
"Yes, Duke Yansheng!"
Kong Shangtan's clan brother, seeing that his persuasion had an effect, immediately looked stern and responded in a deep voice.
After the clan brother left, Kong Shangtan's face showed a look of loss. He lowered his head and looked at his hands, muttering silently to himself.
"Yes, I am Duke Yan now!"
…
Capital City, Yan Mansion.
At this moment, in the hall where Yan Mansion was used to entertain guests, the housekeeper walked in with eager steps and reported respectfully to Yan Shifan.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, I just brought the message to you. Mr. Yan Shenggong said he would come over tonight!"
"Well, I understand, you go down and do your work!"
After getting the exact information from the housekeeper, Yan Shifan's face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, and then he waved his hand quite casually and gave the order.
"Yes, Mr. Xiaoge!"
Seeing that his mission for this trip had been successfully completed, the housekeeper couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yan Shifan.
"etc!"
"Mr. Xiaoge, do you have anything else to tell me?"
When the housekeeper heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked Yan Shifan.
Yan Shifan took in the expression on the butler's face, raised his eyebrows, and immediately gave instructions.
"Please pay more attention to the kitchen later, understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiaoge!"
After telling the housekeeper to pay more attention to the kitchen, Yan Shifan set out from the hall where Yan's house was used to entertain guests and walked towards Yan's study.
At this moment, Yan Song was sitting next to the desk in the study room, looking at the books in front of him very intently.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Seeing this, Yan Song had to temporarily look away from the books in front of him and gave instructions.
"Come in!"
After the words fell, there was only a "squeak" sound, the door of the room was pushed open, and Yan Shifan stepped in, leaned down, and reported respectfully.
"Father, Duke Yansheng will come over tonight!"
When Yan Song heard this, he didn't show the slightest surprise on his face. Immediately, he picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and spoke unhurriedly.
"Humph, of course he will come. Now that their Kong Mansion has just experienced the turmoil of abolishing Yan Shenggong, they are at their weakest now, so they have to ask for our help!"
Although Yan Shifan deeply agreed with Yan Song's words, at this moment, a slight look of worry could not help but appear on his face.
"Father, I'm worried that Kong Shantan will hate us because of what happened earlier. What do you think we should do next?"
When Yan Song heard Yan Shifan's words, his expression did not change. After glancing at Yan Shifan, he responded.
"Humph, of course he will bear grudge against us. If he doesn't bear grudge, then we have to be careful. This kind of person usually has big plans!"
"Right now, Kong Shangtan must still be brooding over what happened before, and he must still be holding a breath in his heart, and we just need to let him straighten out that breath!"
When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment, turned his eyes to Yan Shifan aside, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"It will be up to your father and I to apologize to him in person later!"
When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face was filled with shock.
Later, Yan Shifan came to his senses, turned his gaze to Yan Song, and spoke words of comfort.
"Father, you are..."
Yan Song seemed to have guessed what Yan Shifan was going to say next, and he made a silent gesture to indicate that Yan Shifan did not need to continue talking.
After that, Yan Song looked Yan Shifan up and down before he reminded him seriously.
"Yan Shifan, please remember that sometimes face is not that important. As long as the expected goal can be achieved, everything will be worth it. Do you understand?"
"Thank you father for teaching me, my child knows it!"
After Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, he immediately lowered his head and responded in a deep voice.
Seeing that Yan Shifan understood what he meant, Yan Song nodded, looked away from him, and ordered in a deep voice.
"In that case, go down and get ready!"
"Yes, father, please leave now!"
When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, he immediately left the study room of Yan Mansion without any hesitation.
…
As night fell, when the sedan in which Kong Shangtan was riding arrived at the gate of Yan's Mansion, he did not get off the sedan in a hurry. Instead, he opened the sedan curtain and looked up and down at Yan's Mansion, which was just around the corner.
Since Yan's Mansion is located on the most prosperous street in the capital, Kong Shangtan had already seen the residences of dignitaries nearby on the way here.
Compared with the magnificent mansion of its neighbor, the Yan family's mansion can be described as "shabby". The Yan's mansion does not have too many decorations. There are only two stone lions at the door and two janitors, which are painted brightly. On the bright red door, there is a plaque with the words "Yan Mansion" written in gilded characters.
"Is this the Yan Mansion that my brother failed to enter?"
Kong Shangtan smiled self-deprecatingly, and immediately got off the sedan with the help of the bearer. (End of chapter)
