Wang Qianyou stayed at home all year round, feeling frustrated and unhappy, so he hated the entire Chen family.
He is obviously very talented, but the Chen family cannot stand his success and makes him a lowly businessman.
The servant beside him noticed his thoughts and immediately stepped forward to offer advice.
"I, your servant, watch you write one brilliant poem after another every day, and I really feel sorry for you!"
"A man of your talent should be standing in the court. Alas! I really feel sorry for you."
Wang Qianyou felt very happy about it.
"What does it matter if you have talent? In the end, you can only be a lowly businessman."
The servant stepped forward and whispered.
"It would be great if the master didn't exist in this family. Then, wouldn't you be the only male in the family who could take charge?"
Wang Qianyou narrowed his eyes slightly. Yes, he should have started earlier. Really, he had wasted so many years.
That day, when Minister Chen came back drunk, he pushed him into the pond.
After the people struggled in the pond for a long time and there was no movement, Wang Qianyou hurriedly left.
But what he didn't know was that as soon as he left, his servant quickly jumped into the river and rescued the man.
Wang Qianyou was still daydreaming in the house. As long as his father-in-law died, and his wife and mother-in-law were two women, he would be in charge of the family in the future.
But before he could be happy for long, he was controlled by someone.
"How dare you! Who gave you the guts to treat me like this...!"
The servants took everyone to the main courtyard and threw them on the ground. When Wang Qianyou looked up and saw his father-in-law sitting in the main seat, he was so scared that he took several steps back.
Trying to calm down, he said with a trembling voice:
"Father-in-law, what is it that you want me to do?"
Minister Chen directly told him how he pushed himself into the water last night.
"I never thought I'd find an enemy for my family by finding a son-in-law for my daughter."
"Besides not letting you serve in the imperial court, how else have I wronged you? How could you even want to kill me?"
Of course, Wang Qianyou refused to admit it.
"Father-in-law, this is unfair! I went to bed early last night and didn't get up at all. If you don't believe me, ask Lingling."
He looked at his wife Chen Lingling with pleading eyes.
"Lingling, please tell me something. Did your husband fall asleep early last night?"
"You gave me a cup of tea last night, and then I slept until dawn. I don't know if you got up at night."
Chen's father didn't want to listen to his nonsense and asked the witness to come out and testify against him.
Wang Qianyou's servant stood up with a look of guilt and righteousness on his face.
"Sir, don't blame me. It's really what you did that disappointed me."
"Last night, I got up to urinate, and when I returned to my room, I saw you sneaking out of the yard. I followed you the whole time, and I saw with my own eyes that you pushed the master into the pond."
Wang Qianyou stood up excitedly and wanted to beat the slave to death.
"You little slave, you're talking nonsense. It was you who said that as long as my father-in-law is gone, I will be the male master of this house."
"Are you planning to kill your father-in-law?"
The servant knelt on the ground and cried with tears and snot.
"Master, I absolutely have no intention of hurting you. I am a servant born in this mansion. My parents and relatives are still here. Master and his wife have been so kind to me and my family. How could I possibly do anything to hurt you?"
No matter how Wang Qianyou argued, the Chen family broke his legs, gave him a divorce letter, and kicked him out.
After he was kicked out, the servant took a bag of silver from Qiu Ju and took his elderly father and mother back to the countryside to live out their retirement.
Lin Wange gave some money to a few ruffians, and they went to take care of Wang Qianyou every day.
Soon Wang Qianyou also died in this winter. He had nowhere to go in this imperial city, no relatives or friends, and even when begging he was ostracized by other beggars. He was also beaten by ruffians every day and could only die miserably in the snow without any shelter.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, as soon as Bai Zhiyan returned home, he saw two people who shouldn't be there.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Linlang held her daughter in her arms pitifully.
"Yes, it was Madam who invited us in."
Bai Zhiyan yelled at Jiang Qingzhi.
"Nonsense! It's New Year's Day, why are you disturbing the mother and daughter?"
Jiang Qingzhi sneered.
"How can you slander me without asking any questions, my husband?"
"Over the years, I've come to my senses. After all, Jiang Yuan is Brother Yongfeng's offspring, right? I wanted to leave them to live out there on their own. I don't know how much gossip you've caused by always taking care of them."
"So I decided to take her in as your concubine."
Bai Zhiyan was about to say something when he was interrupted by Jiang Qingzhi.
"I know you have no other thoughts about her, and I also believe that there is nothing wrong between you two. Isn't it easier to keep her in the mansion so that you can take care of her? This way, the gossip outside will be refuted, right?"
Everyone says that I am vicious and jealous, and that I have caused you two lovers to fall in love but not be able to be together. Now that you are no longer in my heart, I will naturally help you two lovers to be together.
After Jiang Linlang became Bai Zhiyan's concubine, Bai Zhiyan seldom visited her and her daughter.
In his words, there is no need to worry about food and clothing here.
That day, Jiang Linlang was waiting with tears in her eyes for Bai Zhiyan to return home.
