Tong Luochen was the daughter of Mr. Tong, a merchant in Tongjiawan.

Mr. Tong had some business acumen, so he started some small businesses. With the help of his benefactor, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he also married his benefactor, the daughter of the Li family.

She gave birth to the eldest daughter Luo Chen and the son Tong Chenqing. There were only two siblings in the family, and Mr. Tong did not take a concubine.

When Mr. Tong was young, he met a man named Zheng while doing business. The two had some business dealings together and had similar personalities.

While drinking, they got drunk and joked about becoming in-laws in the future. Mr. Tong even gave the jade ring on his hand to Mr. Zheng.

After they sobered up, they realized what they had done. It was a bit hasty to arrange a marriage for their children who had just been born.

They don’t know whether they can raise the child. What if the age difference between them is too big or the child has bad character? It will be too late to regret it. This is what they both thought.

Because the Tong family had a daughter, they were afraid that her life would be ruined, so Mr. Tong went to see Mr. Zheng with gifts in embarrassment.

I wanted to say that I was drunk yesterday and was talking nonsense.

Mr. Zheng had the same idea, and they talked it out on the spot. Mr. Zheng felt that the other party was a very nice person, so he did not accept the gift.

The ring was not taken back, and the two did not say anything definite. They agreed that if their children were fond of each other in the future, it would be a natural thing for them to become in-laws.

If it was unintentional, then this was the brotherhood between the two of them, and then they left.

Later, Mr. Zheng was in poor health, so he transferred most of his business, bought a lot of land, and became the largest landlord in Zhengjia Bay.

Zheng Jiasheng's son, named Zheng Jiayu, was sent to school since he was a child.

When Zheng Jiayu was twelve years old, Mr. Zheng passed away. In order to let her son continue his studies, his mother Wang spent almost all the family's savings.

In recent years, there have been droughts and floods, and the harvest has been very poor. I sold all the land at home and got a few hundred taels of silver.

But the money was not enough for studying and taking the imperial examinations. The eighteen-year-old Zheng Jiayu had already become a scholar and was studying in the county town, and the family had less and less money.

Therefore, Wang planned to let her son marry a rich daughter-in-law so that he could study without any worries, but there was no suitable candidate in Zhengjiawan.

In several wealthy families, the girls were either engaged since childhood or had already been married off because of their age, or they were only seven or eight years old, and her son could not wait any longer.

He was running out of money to go to school in the county, let alone take the examinations for Juren and Jinshi a year later.

At this moment, she remembered something her husband had told her before, which was the ring given by the Tong family, although it did not explicitly confirm the marriage.

But the ring was indeed given by the Tong family in the name of engagement. Wang immediately called her son to explain the matter, and Zheng Jiayu also knew that this was the only chance.

The family was already running out of money, and he had no way to make money.

So he took the ring to Tongjiawan. Fearing that the Tong family would not acknowledge the matter, he made a point of asking along the way. Some nosy people asked him why he was looking for the Tong family.

Zheng Jiayu said directly that he was going to fulfill an engagement. He was already engaged to Luo Chen, the eldest daughter of the Tong family. He asked along the way and many people knew about it after he arrived at the Tong family.

He immediately revealed his identity and said that he was here to propose marriage.

The Tong family was confused. When did the engagement come out? Mr. Tong realized that something was wrong and asked about it immediately.

Zheng Jiayu insisted that this was the engagement his father told him about. At this time, the servants came back and said that the news had spread outside.

Because Zheng Jiayu spread the news everywhere on the way here.

At this time, Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong were so angry that Zheng Jiayu immediately knelt on the ground and said that she was sincere in asking for marriage.

He also promised that he would pass the imperial examination in the future and make Luo Chen his wife.

The Tong family was so angry that they had no choice. They also knew that Zheng Jiayu came for money, but the ring the other party took was given by the Tong family, and he was also a scholar.

They couldn't do anything to a scholar, otherwise the court would not let them go.

Finally, Mrs. Tong said that even if Zheng Jiayu became an official in the future, he must only have Luo Chen as his woman and not take a concubine, so she married Luo Chen to him.

Otherwise, leave here immediately. Zheng Jiayu didn't expect that they would look down on her just because she was a scholar, but for the sake of her future, she nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Tong also asked him to write a letter of guarantee, which made Zheng Jiayu even angrier. Not only did the people in the Tong family dislike him, they also didn't trust him.

He is a scholar, how could he go back on his word?

But he still wrote it, so Luo Chen was married to him. With the help of Luo Chen's dowry, he successfully passed the imperial examination and became a juren four years later, and a jinshi three years later.

After entering the officialdom, the Tong family was very polite to Zheng Jiayu because of their low status.

Luo Chen's mother-in-law, Wang, also started to toughen up and began to set rules for Luo Chen. She kept her only grandson with her and did not allow Luo Chen to see the child.

She gave her son several beautiful maids, but did not give them any status, so they were not considered concubines. Luo Chen had no words to express her grievances, but she did not dare to tell her parents, for fear that her parents would worry.

At the age of 30, Zheng Jiayu entered the Ministry of Justice to handle cases. One day when he was returning home, a woman suddenly broke into the sedan chair and was injured.

He put a knife to Zheng Jiayu and threatened him not to tell anyone about her.

In order to save his life, Zheng Jiayu took the woman back.

After returning, I found out that the person in front of me was the daughter of the Duke of Liguo, Fang Yaoling. Her family was framed and their property was ransacked, and her parents and relatives were exiled.

She and her brother escaped, and the two siblings have been looking for evidence of being framed over the years.

Zheng Jiayu happened to be in the Ministry of Justice and had also read the files of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion and discovered that there was indeed something wrong in them.

And this time Fang Yaoling sneaked into the General's Mansion to look for evidence, and she also found the key evidence.

Now, as long as they can find the evidence of the frame-up of their family from the Ministry of Justice, it will be possible to prove that the Duke Li’s Mansion is innocent. Zheng Jiayu thought that the Duke’s Mansion would be vindicated.

Then he can also benefit from it and immediately offer to help.

Then he took out the evidence of the frame-up from the Ministry of Justice and brought Fang Yaoling and her brother and sister before the Minister of Justice.

The Duke's Mansion successfully overturned the case, and the title and property were returned. Zheng Jiayu was promoted to a fourth-rank official, and the Duke's Mansion also sent many gifts.

At this time Fang Yaoling fell in love with Zheng Jiayu who helped her, but he already had a wife at home, and she, the daughter of the Duke's mansion, could not be a concubine.

Because of the overturn of the verdict, Fang Yaoling is already 23 years old this year, and there is no suitable man for her except to get married and become a second wife.

Fang Yaoling's elder brother knew that his sister liked Zheng Jiayu, so he went to find him.
