Minister Wang's gaze turned cold in an instant, a flicker of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He had risen all the way to Minister of Revenue. If he could not even protect his own daughter...
Then what was the point of holding this office?
He had guarded against danger at every turn, never imagining that he had raised the threat with his own hands!
Now, whenever Minister Wang thought of Wang Jiangwei eating his household's food and spending his household's money...
While plotting every day to kill his daughter, he hated her so much his teeth ached!
He had spent so many years clawing his way through officialdom, dealing with the emperor's scrutiny and matching wits with his colleagues.
Yet in the end, a sparrow from his own nest had pecked out his eyes!
The officials at morning court who could hear Commandery Princess Luoshui's thoughts could not help casting sympathetic glances at Minister Wang.
Practically everyone knew that Minister Wang had adopted his younger brother's child.
Who would have thought that Minister Wang had harbored no crooked intentions, yet the girl had?
It seemed that adopting children in the future would require careful consideration, followed by more consideration, and then still more.
[Salty Fish System: Wang Jiuzhao's return to her hometown wasn't the end of it.]
The system's voice sounded again, dropping an even bigger bomb into Minister Wang's heart.
His Zhaozhao had already been driven out of the Capital by her scheming. Was Weiwei still unwilling to let her go?
Seated on his dragon throne, the emperor imagined himself in Minister Wang's position.
He realized he would never be able to hold himself back!
If he learned that someone wanted to hurt his daughter, he would grab his forty-meter saber and carve them down to a skeleton!
