"No wonder you were able to achieve such a good ranking in the provincial examination. You must have a solid knowledge." Zhao Tang sighed: "Speaking of which, although you didn't have to worry about it before, it seems like you have finally gotten the hang of it. Alas!"
Tu Yufan knew what Zhao Tang was thinking. It was just a pity that Zhao Tang was not his son. However, it was not to be said that they had a deep affection for him. Apart from the blood relationship, the relationship between them was much shallower.
Otherwise, in the original plot, the original owner just made a big fuss, and Zhao Tang became very angry and directly kicked him out of the house. He never expressed sadness after the original owner died.
Zhao Tang was actually a very cold-hearted person, and Tu Yufan just tried to avoid making enemies with him.
After the two talked for a while, Tu Yufan was about to leave. When he was about to leave, Mrs. Zhao came over.
"I heard that you got a good ranking in the provincial examination. When you were in the mansion, the master hired a great scholar to teach you. He said that your aptitude was average, but at least you were diligent and studious. It can be said that your efforts were not in vain."
Tu Yufan looked at her as if she wanted to remind himself that if his mother had not changed their identities and been trained by the Zhao family, she would probably not have achieved such success. Tu Yufan disagreed, thinking that it was because of his coming here that he achieved such success, not because the Zhao family trained the original owner.
However, Tu Yufan did not refute: "Thank you for your training over the years."
When Mrs. Zhao heard Tu Yufan say this, she couldn't help but feel a little displeased. The master thought that both the illegitimate son and Tu Yufan were better than his son. Her son was the legitimate son and would inherit the master's network resources in the future. It was just that he failed in the imperial examination. His future still depended on his family background.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Tu Yufan left with an excuse.
Not long after, a concubine in the backyard of Zhao Tang suddenly produced letters and other evidence, saying that it was Madam Zhao who replaced the child herself and deliberately framed Cuixiang and others, and the news spread out unknowingly.
Because she could be considered an elder of Zhao Tang and had stayed in the rear palace for many years, this matter not only involved this concubine, but also several concubines with daughters. Zhao Tang could only bear this loss in silence.
Mrs. Zhao's reputation was almost ruined, and Cuixiang became an innocent person. Later, it was gradually reported that Tu Yufan was neglected by Mrs. Zhao in the Zhao family because Mrs. Zhao knew from the beginning that Tu Yufan was not her son.
Tu Yufan also secretly gave these evidences to the concubine. He knew that Madam Zhao had done many bad things in the past and offended many people. This concubine had been framed by Madam Zhao in her early years, which led to her miscarriage and physical injury. She wanted to bite off a piece of her flesh, and when she saw an opportunity, she would definitely try every means to catch her.
She didn't even think about what the man's intention was in sending the evidence to her. As long as he could hurt Mrs. Zhao, there was nothing wrong with using her.
.......
Tu Yufan got the result he wanted and was quite satisfied. Cuixiang no longer had to bear the bad reputation, and no one would say that he had robbed someone else of their life.
Zhao Caiqing had another heart attack. Although her family background had improved, there were always some outrageous things happening on her side of the family. Although it did not affect her much, she would still be ridiculed to some extent, and it would also affect the prince's impression of her.
Originally, she wanted to slowly win the prince's heart by being a confidant, and then show that she was different from other women and could give him advice. But Jiang Yizhen came. She had a simple mind but could easily win the prince's heart.
Zhao Caiqing used to think that Prince Chun was a wise and rational person, but since Jiang Yizhen came, her idea was shattered.
Although Chun Wang's behavior was usually normal, he paid attention to Jiang Yizhen in every detail, even to the point of being concerned about her during work.
Zhao Caiqing's eyes were slightly solemn. If Prince Chun wanted to play the exclusive favor game or even threaten her position, then she would have to think of other ways.
