Duke Li left behind a large amount of wealth only to provide a fallback for the family.
But who would have thought that the Ruan family had no fallback at all, as the person in power turned out to be a madman.
Mrs. Qin held onto all those things, yet she could only watch helplessly as the Ruan family fell apart, becoming homeless and destitute.
The night before she left the Capital, she not only told Ruan Qiniang about those old secrets but also left her all the things, so that any surviving descendants of the Ruan family could receive a generous inheritance.
The first Duke Li was a military general who helped the Founding Saint Martial Emperor conquer the world. Although the wealth of Duke Li's Mansion couldn't compare to that of Duke Zhen's Mansion, it wasn't too shabby either.
Moreover, Mrs. Qin's former husband—Duke Xian, had also earned merits on the southern battlefield in his youth.
