Chapter 1015 Grassland Compensation
Chapter 1015 Grassland Compensation
General Song Han stopped arguing with Lan Mo about the issue and instead addressed the grassland king beside him:
"Bring the people here!"
The grassland king nodded and shouted:
"Bring the people up."
"Yes."
Two people were brought in from outside the main tent.
Lan Mo's expression changed drastically when she saw the two of them.
One of these two people was Lan Mo's personal maid, and the other was the doctor who treated Lan Mo back then.
The two knelt on the ground, trembling.
The grassland king looked at the two of them and asked:
Do you know why I brought you here today?
The two said in unison:
"do not know."
"Don't know? Don't you know what you've done?"
Their bodies trembled even more violently.
After a pause, the Grassland King looked at Lanmo's maid, Siyue, and said:
"The fourth month, right?"
More than 20 years ago, Lan Mo led you to elope. What happened during that time?
Confess the truth!
Think it through before you speak. If you tell even one lie, think of your family.
Just now, outside the main tent, Siyue had already seen his family...
Lan Mo looked at Si Yue with a warning and said:
"Siyue, you are my personal maid, you should know what to say..."
Siyue lowered her head, not looking at Lanmo, and closed her eyes.
Back then, Siyue had advised Lanmo to abort the child in her womb, marry Kasu, and live a good life.
But Lanmo wouldn't listen and insisted on giving birth to Kashiyue. When she heard the Khan's question, Mitsuki knew that things had been exposed.
When Mitsuki opened her eyes again, she had already made her decision.
She herself deserved to die, but she couldn't let her family be implicated.
Ignoring Lanmo's gaze, Mitsuki said:
"Back then, when the lady learned that the Khan was going to marry her off to General Kasu, she was not happy with the marriage. So she packed her things and left the grassland overnight with me and a few guards."
We traveled all the way...
Next, Mitsuki told everything he knew without reservation, including how he schemed against Kasu, how he bribed the doctor, and how he fabricated stories after returning.
Finally, Mitsuki said:
"Over the years, Madam has never forgotten that person."
Upon learning of the fall of the Night Central Kingdom, she sat motionless for a whole night.
After that, she summoned the eldest son to the main tent and told him about her background.
At that time, the eldest son was extremely shocked and could not accept his own background, so he ran out of the tent.
After the eldest son accepted his true identity, the lady summoned him to her tent again and threatened to kill herself if he didn't take revenge.
The eldest son had no choice but to agree.
Later, the eldest son left the grasslands and never returned.
However, every now and then, the eldest son would send a letter home; one was a regular letter, and the other was specifically for his wife.
After Siyue finished speaking, Lanmo knew it was all over, but she still argued:
"I don't.
"Siyue, who bribed you? How dare you frame your master like this!"
Siyue immediately kowtowed and said:
"No, I didn't. What I said is true."
Hearing these words, the most surprised people in the tent were Kasu and Kashivin.
They didn't expect Lan Mo to have done so much.
Kasu's face was extremely pale as he asked:
"Siyue, is Kashivin my son?"
"Reporting to the General, the Second Young Master is indeed your biological son."
Kasu is now even starting to doubt Kashivin's background!
The king of the grasslands turned his gaze to the doctor and said:
"Doctor Su, why don't you say something too!"
"Yes."
At this point, Su had nothing left to hide, so she recounted in detail how Lan Mo had bribed her and how she had helped Lan Mo conceal her pregnancy.
The matter is already very clear!
Having reached this point, Lanmo simply stopped pretending. She pointed at the Grassland King and said:
"It's all your fault."
I told you I don't like Kasu, but you ignored my wishes and insisted on marrying me off to him.
I only ran away from the wedding because I had no other choice.
If I hadn't run away from the wedding, I wouldn't have met that man, and none of this would have happened.
It's all your fault!
Why should I be sacrificed to win over Kasu?
The grassland king was furious.
After hearing these words, Kasu said:
"Lanmo, if you are not satisfied with this marriage, you can come to me. I, Kasu, am not indispensable to you."
All these years, you've treated me like a fool, you deserve to die!
Kasu bowed to the king of the steppe and said:
"Khan, Lanmo has done such a thing, I want to divorce her."
This was originally Lanmo's fault, and the Grassland King agreed.
Kasu looked at Lanmo and said:
"Now you are free!"
Kasu looked at Kashivin and said:
“If you still consider me your father, then sever ties with this woman.”
If you can't bear to part with this woman, then you can leave with her.
From now on, pretend you don't have a father.
Kashiwen isn't stupid; he knows Lanmo won't survive in this state.
Kashivan said decisively:
"I will always be my father's son."
Kasu nodded and said:
"it is good."
The Grassland King looked at General Han and said:
"General Han, Lan Mo has made such a grave mistake. We are handing her over to you for disposal."
General Han said with a half-smile:
"King of the Grasslands, this matter is not so simple to end."
Your daughter has done such a thing, and in the future, we will have to spend a lot of manpower and resources to suppress the traitor.
These all require spending money..."
The grassland king immediately understood and said:
"We'll pay you 10 taels of silver, is that acceptable?"
"10 taels of silver? Is that enough to feed a beggar?"
The grassland king wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said:
"General Han, please speak frankly."
“We are all rough men, and we don’t beat around the bush. Since the King of the Grasslands told me to speak frankly, then I will speak frankly.”
From this day forward, your annual tribute to the Tianfeng Kingdom will increase threefold.
Upon hearing this, the grassland king's expression changed drastically, and he said:
"General Han, how can this be?"
This will make life extremely difficult for us grassland herders!
"Difficulties? Then find a way to earn money."
This is a question that you, the King of the Grasslands, should be considering; it seems you have no right to ask me!
Furthermore, I don't think hardship is necessarily a bad thing. It prevents you from becoming too comfortable and overfed, which might lead you to develop rebellious thoughts.
"Lord Han, Lan Mo's incident was just an accident. The rest of us are still loyal to Tianfeng Kingdom and His Majesty."
General Han snorted coldly and said nothing more.
The grassland king asked cautiously:
"General Han, could the compensation be reduced a bit?"
"Do you think this is a marketplace where you can haggle over prices?"
I'm simply informing you; I'm not consulting you.
Also, if you think three times is too little, then we'll raise it to four times.
The grassland king was shocked. How could the price have gone up?
