Traveling to ancient times to become a princess, she wins every step of the way

Chapter 533 The reason for the fall of the Fuji family

Just a few days after the two of them had an affair, Lady Luo, the Duke of Luo, learned that the Teng family was implicated in Prince Yu's failed attempt to seize the throne and was planning a rebellion, so the entire family was convicted.

It was because of this that King Cheng later kept a low profile and secretly fought with Emperor Jiayuan of Dongling for half his life.

Because, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has drastic measures.

Even if the Teng family had many good qualities in the eyes of Emperor Taiyuan, it could not outweigh the crimes they were accused of.

Fuji Xian and all the male members of the Fuji family were sentenced to exile to Guhan North City, but died on the way to exile.

Lady Luo did not expect the change to come so quickly, and she did not expect that just before the news of the Teng family being sentenced to exile was confirmed, she would find out that she was pregnant.

This made her, who originally wanted to live and die with Fuji Xian, let go of her obsession.

She didn't even go to see him for the last time.

After that, Lady Luo hid her pregnancy and ran to Lingzhou Villa to give birth to Rong Yan. Later, she cruelly abandoned him by the river outside Puji Temple.

At that time, no matter how cruel she was, she still hid behind a big tree and watched the little monk in the temple hear the baby's cry, carry him in, and then leave.

The selfish Lady Luo was afraid that she would be implicated and convicted because of his existence, and she was also afraid that her life would be ruined.

During the ten months of pregnancy and childbirth, she had completely forgotten her girlish thoughts and nodded in agreement to the marriage arranged for her by the old lady of the Fan family. Later, she became the wife of Duke Luo, who was selfish and doted on his son.

Maybe, that is the real her.

Or maybe, her unbridled doting on Young Master Luo was actually a way of compensating for her own son whom she had never fed herself for a single day.

After the old host adopted Rong Yan, he named him "Changshan", hoping that when he grew up, he would not be burdened by the sin of being abandoned by his parents as a child and would not feel resentment.

May he always have kindness in his heart.

The old abbot didn't know that when Rong Yan was a baby, he was placed in a foster family for a few years with the money from the temple so that he could get better care. Since then, he was destined to not be a good person.

The abuse from his adoptive mother would have destroyed such a pure and kind child to ashes.

So later, after he became a wealthy nobleman famous in four countries, he openly did countless good deeds, built a big house for his adoptive mother, gave her tens of thousands of taels of silver, but secretly strangled his adoptive mother to death.

Rong Yan would always remember that night when she stared at him with fear and resentment with her gray and dull old eyes, and he felt an unprecedented joy in his heart.

Later, after he knew his own life experience, it was even more impossible for him to do good.

When he was five years old, he was taken back to the temple by an old monk, where he chanted scriptures and practiced martial arts with other young monks every morning and evening.

The old monk told him that he had great wisdom and was a martial arts genius.

However, his worldly ties had not yet been resolved and his heart was deeply bound.

Later, Rong Yan grew up and the old monk became ill, so he let him leave freely and go out into the world.

Rong Yan also always wanted to find his biological parents. Holding half of a jade pendant engraved with a butterfly pattern in his hand, he left Puji Temple.

The jade pendant was placed in his quilt by Lady Luo, the wife of Duke of Luo, who was reluctant to leave it. It also became the only bond in Rong Yan's heart to his parents.

Rong Yan, who has a first-rate business mind and extraordinary means, is just a young boy, but he started from scratch in just a few years and became the richest man in Dongling Country.

Later, he gave himself a name called "Rong Yan".

When he chose that name, he really hoped for peace and prosperity.

And, one day, in this peaceful and prosperous world, he will be able to find his family.

Later, by chance, Rong Yan was discussing business in Lingzhou and met Teng Xian's close friend Qu Zixiao.

Qu Zixiao was Teng Xian's best friend back then, and the relationship between them was closer than that between real brothers.

The moment he saw Rong Yan, Qu Zixiao almost burst into tears on the spot. He looked at the handsome face that was 90% similar to his best friend, and the almost identical eyebrows and eyes, and he was immediately distracted.

Later, he approached Rong Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and kept inquiring about his identity, and finally made him see the half jade pendant left to him by the person who abandoned Rong Yan.

When Qu Zixiao saw the half jade pendant, he could no longer hold back his tears.

That was the Teng family's heirloom jade pendant, passed down only to the future daughter-in-law, so Qu Zixiao knew about what happened between Teng Xian and Miss Fan.

He explained everything to Rong Yan, including the fact that the Fuji family was framed and involved in the conspiracy innocently.

Qu Zixiao also denounced Emperor Jiayuan of Dongling as a smiling tiger with sharp fangs inside, saying that he was flattering Teng Xian, but he didn't know the reason why he did so.

After Rong Yan knew his identity, he looked for opportunities to get close to Qiu Wanshan.

He then learned from Qiu Wanshan that his mother-in-law did have half a butterfly jade pendant in her hand.

He also said that his wife had asked her for the jade pendant several times when she was a child, but was rejected by Lady Luo.

Therefore, Rong Yan believed what Qu Zixiao said.

I also found out who his biological father and mother were.

Rong Yan began to do business openly and secretly investigate what happened to the Teng family.

Before the Meijiazhuang tragedy happened ten years ago, he had already found out that King Cheng's men often lingered around Meijiazhuang.

He once captured a spy from Cheng Wang and forced him to confess that their people had discovered the secret of silver and copper mines beneath Meijiazhuang.

However, he did not expect that King Cheng would be so cruel.

Facts have proved that King Cheng is not at all merciful compared to Emperor Jiayuan who ascended the throne.

As soon as the tragedy happened, Rong Yan knew that it was King Cheng who did it.

In addition to the people who were killed by the Three Evils of Qiongzhou, the murderers also included Li Mingyue and his brothers.

At that time, they were homeless children, and when they grew up, they survived by stealing and robbing.

Suddenly one day, a man wearing a bamboo hat came to them and asked them to do something.

They said that once they succeeded, they would be rewarded generously and would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

After killing all the people in Meijiazhuang, when Li Mingyue and his companions went to the agreed place to collect the money, they were chased by assassins sent by Cheng Wang, who were ready to kill them.

King Cheng was certain that since they were just street thugs, no one would care if they died.

As luck would have it, he was saved by the young man Rong Yan.

Rong Yan knew that Li Mingyue and others were among the murderers who committed the Meijiazhuang tragedy.

So, he deliberately took action to save the lives of Li Mingyue and his brothers.

But he did not tell them that the person behind the scenes who hired them to kill people and destroy the village was King Cheng.

Rong Yan took them under his side, gave them new identities, and placed them under the nose of King Cheng.

Li Mingyue and the others were the cards he held in his hand, prepared to be used to threaten Cheng Wang later.
