Chapter 119: Rong Zhi’s Fate
This side, on the way back, Qin Wanwan was still thinking about her new Daddy.
Keke was telling her about her new Daddy’s identity.
“Your Daddy is called Rong Zhi, a powerful minister of the court, the youngest Imperial Chancellor, and the pre-appointed Grand Secretary.”
“Lin Wan’e, that transmigrator, fell for your Daddy at first sight. She pursued him with the attitude of a sasaeng fan, but your Daddy and your Mommy have a soul contract as dao companions acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. Even if they split into five people after descending to the mortal world, they would not betray your Mommy and find a romantic partner in the mortal world.
So in the mortal world, they never married. Lin Wan’e, that arrogant idiot, thought it was too tragic for them to grow old alone. She saw your Daddy Rong Zhi and was moved for ten thousand years, wanting to save him and give him a beautiful future.
She shamelessly plagiarized others’ poetry to create her image as a talented woman and attract Rong Zhi’s attention. Seeing that he paid no attention to her, she became enraged and took the opportunity at a banquet to secretly administer an aphrodisiac, wanting to force herself on your Daddy. However, your Daddy Rong Zhi detected it and played along, causing her to become involved with the Third Prince.
From then on, Lin Wan’e felt Rong Zhi was ungrateful and decided to blacken and seek revenge on him to make him regret it. So she set her sights on the Emperor’s position and decided to use modern knowledge to help the Third Prince become Emperor.
Finally, she spread rumors about Rong Zhi to ruin his reputation, turning him from a universally admired genius minister into a universally despised hypocritical, cunning, and despicable villain. She even forged some evidence, framing Rong Zhi for treason!”
Everything Keke was saying now was the content of Rong Zhi’s fate book that surfaced in Keke’s mind after seeing him.
Qin Wanwan listened, her small fists clenched tightly.
“Bad guy, big bad guy!”
As a little girl, she couldn’t say too many curse words.
Anyway, Lin Wan’e was now a super big bad guy in her heart.
Keke nodded, “Indeed, that woman is thoroughly wicked!”
It was also unfortunate that the fate book regarding the Qilin’s father’s tribulation in this world accidentally drifted into a spatial rift. Later, Lin Wan’e discovered it and treated it as a novel to read.
Lin Wan’e, typically with ambitions higher than her fate, was just a college student with some good looks in modern times. She used her appearance to mingle with a group of rich second-generation young masters, intending to marry into a wealthy family, and even became a mistress.
Eventually, she was discovered by the original wife, and they had a physical fight on the spot. While fleeing in a car, Lin Wan’e panicked and escaped, ultimately dying in a car accident and transmigrating to this world.
At that time, Lin Wan’e was carrying a book that recorded poetry from ancient to modern times.
Coincidentally, that book also transmigrated to this world, and Lin Wan’e used it as her cheat.
Otherwise, how could Lin Wan’e, a poor student in college who only thought about how to catch men and didn’t study much, have been able to recite so many famous poems completely?
Keke said hatefully, “Just wait, one day Bird Master will find her book and publicize it. Then, her true identity as a talented woman will be exposed, and she will be thoroughly disgraced!”
Qin Wanwan agreed enthusiastically and nodded, “Good, let’s disgrace her!”
The person and the bird were whispering at home, discussing how to make Lin Wan’e lose face.
Shang Wuyang returned very late.
Qin Wanwan had been waiting for him. Seeing him return, she immediately ran over and ran into his embrace.
“Daddy, Wanwan missed you so much. Did you miss Wanwan?”
Shang Wuyang pinched her little face. It was soft, and his daughter smelled fragrant.
“I did.”
Qin Wanwan was very happy. He picked her up and kissed her on the cheek.
Just as she was happily thinking, Shang Wuyang suddenly said, “I’ve found a tutor for you. Don’t just play at home; you still need to study.”
Qin Wanwan: Daddy, you’re a spoilsport.
The little one huffed and got down from his embrace.
“Wanwan is still young and can study when she’s older.”
“Daddy just can’t stand seeing Wanwan play, Humph!”
“I’m going to have a cold war with Daddy for half an hour.”
After saying that, she ran off, deciding not to talk to Daddy for half an hour.
In response, Shang Wuyang calmly went to wash up.
His face showed a hint of fatigue; there were too many things to attend to.
Although Qin Wanwan ran away, she didn’t go far.
She went to the flower room.
However, the flower room wasn’t planted with any precious flowers but rather over a dozen strawberry plants.
These strawberries were dug up from the General’s Mansion courtyard by Qin Wanwan when she left.
The fruit had already ripened on the way.
Now, the strawberries ripen almost every day. Strawberries the size of an adult’s fist hung outside the pottery jars, looking very pleasing in circles.
The ripe fruit was picked this morning, and now it’s evening, and another dozen or so fruits have ripened.
Qin Wanwan took a small basket and picked strawberries. Keke also clamored for some.
Eagle Boss and Snow Flower also arrived.
These strawberries were not only big but also tasted good and had a lot of flesh.
The only drawback was that the seeds of the enlarged strawberries were also a bit large.
So, the seeds had to be picked out before eating, or they would affect the taste.
However, for Keke and the others, these seeds were nothing; they swallowed them whole like rice grains, with a satisfying crunch.
Qin Wanwan was lazy and found picking seeds troublesome.
Fortunately, the family was not poor and had servants to serve them, so the servants could handle picking seeds.
Qin Wanwan took two strawberries and handed them to Wolf Fang.
“For you, Wolf Fang.”
There were six left, and she wanted to go find Daddy.
The little one who had just said she would have a cold war with Shang Wuyang completely forgot about it after picking strawberries, only thinking about sharing delicious food with Daddy.
Shang Wuyang finished bathing and wrapped himself in a thick cloak.
The weather was gradually getting cooler, and he felt even colder.
Qin Wanwan felt heartache every time she touched his skin.
Even when the poison hadn’t flared up, he was this cold. If the poison flared up, Qin Wanwan couldn’t imagine how cold Daddy would be.
Therefore, Qin Wanwan wanted to hit the bad guy even more!
“Daddy, you eat the fruit.”
Qin Wanwan ran to the study and handed him the basket of strawberries.
Shang Wuyang was looking at the ledger.
Shang Wuyang, who was rich enough to rival a nation, still needed to manage his capital. His industries spanned the entire country, and he naturally had many matters to handle daily.
It was better now, at least he had cultivated many people to help manage his commercial empire.
Previously, he had truly worked himself to the bone, with virtually no time for rest.
It was also at that time that his close associates betrayed him and poisoned him.
Although the toxins in his body were controlled, they could not be eradicated.
Qin Wanwan nestled into his embrace.
Although the little one was chubby from eating, she wasn’t very heavy for Shang Wuyang.
Holding her was very warm.
It was strange; only when holding Qin Wanwan could he feel warmth in his body.
Doesn’t this mean they were destined to be father and daughter? A fate ordained by heaven.
Shang Wuyang never intended to marry and have children in this life. He had taken in many beggars and orphans, but those children were trained to be his subordinates.
In the future, Wanwan would be his only daughter.
