After a few days, Tang Wan had almost figured out the situation in the mansion.
Qin Xuanzhi had no other relatives in this lineage. His parents had both died in battle when he was in his teens, and even their bodies had never been found.
He was the son of a hero, so he wanted to travel to the barbarian lands and avenge his parents since he was a child.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he had already shown the ability to lead troops in battle. His family were all loyal officials, and his parents also taught him from a young age that he must be a loyal and righteous person.
He was wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor and did not marry or take concubines. On the one hand, he had no such thoughts, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the emperor would be wary of him.
Once a minister has too much power, no matter how loyal he appears to be, the emperor will always be suspicious and jealous of him.
In order to avoid such a situation from happening and ending up with your wife and children separated, it is better to cut off this possibility from the beginning.
Without a wife and children, there is no way out and no weakness.
The reason why he was granted marriage this time was because the imperial doctors in the palace all asserted that he would never have children in this life, so he had to be given a wife to tie him down firmly.
Without children or relatives, what good would it do to rebel? The throne would be transferred to another, so it would be better for him to remain loyal to the emperor and enjoy his old age.
However, you can't be without any relatives at all. You must have concerns and weaknesses so that you can have a good grasp of the situation.
The people in this mansion were also very simple. Apart from her and the few maids who served her, there was only the maid named Fang Rong, the wet nurse who grew up with Qin Xuanzhi, and a nanny left by his mother. Apart from them, there were no other female relatives.
The little maid named Fangrong is also the daughter of the housekeeper in the mansion.
The housekeeper was loyal to Qin Xuanzhi. When his parents took him with them, they entrusted Qin Xuanzhi to the housekeeper before they died.
The butler risked his life to rescue Qin Xuanzhi. He was covered in wounds, but he did not let the young master suffer.
He only had one daughter, Fang Rong, in his life, and his wife died of hemorrhage while giving birth to their daughter.
The father and daughter were the only ones who depended on each other, so naturally he was a little spoiled towards his daughter.
She played with the beads in her hand. No wonder that beautiful lady didn't take her, the lady, seriously. It turned out that she was relying on her father to do evil things in the backyard.
However, she still hadn't figured out Fangrong's character, so she decided to wait and see. Perhaps, she was just a little spoiled, having been pampered since childhood, and didn't recognize her own identity.
But she had good intentions. After all, she was her benefactor's daughter and she had only been married for a short time, so it was not appropriate for her to do anything too excessive.
Meanwhile, in the palace's kitchen, Fang Rong was arguing loudly with the housekeeper, Uncle Wang: "Father, why? It's clear that all matters big and small in the palace used to be handled by me and Madam!!"
Uncle Wang was so angry that his beard was about to fly off: "How can this be the same? Now that the wife has come home, the nanny is helping with management, but how can you, a servant girl, go above her head!"
"I don't care. I heard that this so-called Madam is just a concubine at home. Unlike me, I have been learning to manage the household since I was a child. How can she compare to me in any way?!"
Fang Rong was not to be outdone. He stared at Uncle Wang with a red nose and red eyes.
Uncle Wang didn't indulge her: "You are just relying on my kindness to the general, but that is what a servant should do."
Fangrong bit her lip and glared at him unwillingly: "This is a life-saving grace. If it weren't for you, there would be no general today!"
"When I saved the general, I never thought of anything in return. Over the years, you've taken advantage of this kindness and done so many things to bully others. How could you repay a favor?"
Uncle Wang was furious. He was so good to his daughter that she couldn't recognize her own identity and dreamed of being the owner of the general's mansion all day long.
When Fangrong heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and broke down crying, "Don't you know what I'm thinking? Have you ever cared about me all these years?"
"You beat me every time I make a mistake. You have so many things to deal with every day. Have you ever had the pleasure of playing with me?"
"You are just a slave, don't dream of things that you can't get!" He left this sentence angrily and turned to leave.
This rebellious girl, if I look at her for even a second longer, my heart and lungs will explode with anger.
Fang Rong stamped her feet. "It's because I have a father like you that I can only be a slave. I can only look up to the general. But from now on, I don't even have the qualifications to look up to him anymore!"
She was expelled from the mistress's courtyard and usually stayed in the backyard. She rarely had the chance to see the general, let alone serve him personally!
She was so angry that she started to talk without thinking: "My mother risked her life to give birth to me. If she knew how you treated me, she would regret it to death! "
"I regret marrying someone like you who doesn't even care about my daughter's future."
"You!" Uncle Wang pointed at her with a trembling finger, then covered his chest with his hands, his face pale and gasping for breath.
I fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in my heart. Through my tearful eyes, I seemed to see my deceased wife.
He had failed to teach his daughter well, and now she was blaming him.
At first Fang Rong was crying while looking at his expression, and when she saw her father lying on the ground, she thought he was pretending.
He didn't care at all and just continued crying.
I saw my father's face becoming paler and paler, his breathing becoming more and more rapid, foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolling back, and he was about to faint.
Only then did she realize how frightened she was. She crawled over and knelt on the ground, "Dad, Dad, are you okay? Dad! Don't scare Rong'er."
She was really panicking, she screamed at the top of her lungs: "Help, help!!!"
She trembled as she used her sleeve to wipe away the filth from the corner of her father's mouth: "Dad, your daughter will not be angry with you anymore..." She cried and her hands shook like a sieve.
Fortunately, there was someone guarding outside. When he heard her cry for help, he rushed in immediately and carried Uncle Wang on his back. Fangrong recognized that he was the guard beside the general.
Her heart was at peace, and she finally realized how frightened she was. She sat there in a daze, completely lost in thought.
She, she just made a small request, she didn't mean to harm her father.
She just wanted to marry a rich man so that her father could live a life of luxury and never have to worry about her again.
She knew that her father had worked hard for the general's mansion all his life and would definitely be reluctant to leave, but she was also reluctant to leave her father.
That's why she came up with the idea of marrying the general as a concubine, so that they would not have to be separated, and she could take care of her father for the rest of her life. Moreover, the general was handsome, with a face as handsome as a jade, and a handsome appearance, so she also admired him.
This is the best way, the best of both worlds.
But her father had been strict with her since she was young, which led to her becoming more and more arguing with her father. The father and daughter never had a good conversation, which led to the current consequences.
She was stunned for a long time before she burst into tears. If her father was gone, she would not be able to live.
