The Human Emperor (1-200)

C30: King Song's Bestowment

“Men, bring Third Young Master, Shen Hai and Meng Long to the White Tiger Hall and punish them according to the family rules!”

After saying these words, Madam Wang stood up.

Weng!

Wang Chong’s expression turned cold. Shen Hai and Meng Long’s complexion also turned awful. The Wang Family was a general’s family; the punishments it conducted were not just merely kneeling before the ancestor pedestal or cleaning the rooms.

Even a resilient and tough person would shed a layer of skin from the punishments.

Rarely was punishments used in the Wang Family, but based on Madam’s expression, she was probably serious about it this time. The two of them did not fear the punishment. After all, they felt that they deserved it. However, Young Master Chong may not be able to endure it.

“Madam…”

“There’s no need to say anything!”

The two of them wanted to plead on Wang Chong’s behalf, but they were interrupted by Madam Wang. She had hardened her determination this time to leave Wang Chong with a punishment he would never forget.

Only this way would he remember to think about the consequences before doing anything. For this, she even implicated Shen Hai and Meng Long into the matter.

“I have already passed down the orders. Aren’t you all going to carry it out?”

Madam Wang was resolute to go through with it. She stared at the guards by the side and they swiftly ran forward to grab Wang Chong, Shen Hai and Meng Long. From the looks of it, it was impossible to avoid the punishments. But at this moment——

“Madam Wang! King Song has sent me here to bestow rewards!”

A voice suddenly sounded. From afar, an extravagant carriage could be seen traveling toward the Wang Family’s residence. After which, a strong-looking middle-aged uniformed guard alighted from the carriage with a red sandalwood box in his hands.

In that moment, the entrance turned silent. Everyone’s gaze, including Wang Chong’s, was fixated on the guard.

“Bestow?”

Madam Wang stopped abruptly and turned around. An astounded expression appeared on her dignified face:

“My husband has already left the capital and before his departure, he had not told me anything about a bestowment or that sort. May I ask the reason behind King Song’s bestowment?”

“Hehe, Madam is mistaken. This bestowment isn’t for Lord Wang. King Song had specially sent this over to reward his son, Wang Chong.”

The middle-aged guard smiled.

Weng!

In that instant, countless astonished gazes fell on Wang Chong. Even Madam Wang couldn’t help but fall into a momentary daze.

“Lord, is it possible for you to be mistaken? King Song had never really met my unworthy son, so why would he suddenly bestow a reward upon him?”

Madam Wang asked anxiously. She was unable to grasp the situation.

The Song and Wang Clan had several generations of friendship and their relationship was close. However, the Wang Clan had many descendants and it was impossible for King Song to notice every single one of them. Besides, King Song had much work to attend to and the only possible timing for him to have seen Wang Chong was during his grandfather’s birthday. Even so, he only stayed for a brief moment on those occasions.

In the entire Wang Clan, only Wang Chong’s father, big uncle and little uncle would meet with King Song often. The other children didn’t have many opportunities to see him.
