Scarlet Robe Murder

A soldier and a scholar, one word apart, worlds apart. 。Wang Yanqing's ancestors hailed from Datong Prefecture. His family was a military household, and it was tradition for every male in the Wang family to serve as soldiers. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all perished in battles between Datong and Mongol forces. 。In the twelfth year of Zhengde, Zhenyuanhou Fu Yue was transferred to Datong as the commander, and Wang Yanqing's father, Wang Cong, because he was quick-witted and courageous, gradually gained Fu Yue's appreciation. 。In a pursuit battle, Wang Cong died heroically to shield Fu Yue from arrows. 。Later, after defeating the Mongols in battle, Fu Yue was transferred to the capital city due to his military achievements. 。Fu Yue deeply loved Wang Cong. Now that Wang Cong died for him, Fu Yue was heartbroken. After his grief subsided, he sent people to Wang Cong's hometown to comfort his family and widow. 。,The bystander changed his attitude and flattered him, saying: "Second Master, this is the orphan adopted by the Marquis..." 。He stared for a long time, as if finally remembering something, and asked, “What’s your name”“Reporting to the Second Master, Wang…” “I didn’t ask you” 。"With a faint glance at the servant, Nian gave Wang Yanqing a slight nod. "Let him speak," 。Although it hasn't been introduced yet, Wang Yanqing already understands the situation. 。Lowering her head, she meekly replied, "Lord Wang Yanqing, I am at your service." 。It seems rare to have met a same-aged person, who personally brought me to meet the Marquis of Zhenyuan. 。Only then did Wang Yanqing realize that the guide was Fu Yue's grandson, Fu Tingzhou. 。Although everyone called him "Second Master," as the only surviving male descendant among his generation, he was already tacitly accepted as the heir apparent. 。The Zhenyuan Hou Mansion was so lively because it was Fu Tingzhou's birthday that day. 。Later, Fu Tingzhou would always joke that Wang Yanqing was a birthday present from heaven. He had been feeling unwell and came out to clear his head, taking a turn and seeing Wang Yanqing right there. 。Fu Yue was very happy to see Wang Yanqing. Wang Cong was about the same age as Fu Yue's son and was clever and likable. He had always thought of Wang Cong as his child in his heart. 。Unexpectedly, Wang Cong's son turned out to be as cold and elegant as ice and snow, not at all like his father Wang Cong who was mischievous. 。,Fu Tingzhou inherited his grandfather's abilities. He is tall and handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. He is resolute and decisive, and because he was born in the capital city, he is even more intelligent and perceptive than Fu Yue. 。Even among the circle of distinguished figures, Fu Tingzhou was widely praised as a "military genius". 。Fu Yue was very pleased with his grandson, and in order to take care of the orphans under his command, he once privately said that water should not flow into outsiders' fields, so he let Wang Yanqing marry Fu Tingzhou. 。Fu Yue said this not just to repay his favor, Wang Yanqing grew up more and more beautiful, and she was also understanding, intelligent and capable. She could shoot arrows and read and write. She was no weaker than those timid thousand gold misses, right Fu Yue had seen the two children grow from little sprouts to flourishing young adults with his own eyes. He knew in his heart whether it was suitable or not. 。Before his death, Fu Yue left two instructions. The first was to bypass Fu Chang and directly pass the marquis title to Fu Tingzhou's hands. The second was to tell Fu Tingzhou not to observe filial piety and to marry as soon as possible. 。。
