Ironically, his own brother, who had lost his legs, was still galloping on the battlefield, while Fu Ya, who was physically whole, ended up a cripple.
With a lame leg and no heir, Fu Ya could never settle down.
Arriving in Jinling, this place of intoxicating flowers and dreams, he began frequenting brothels, living a life of wine and debauchery, squandering endlessly. Fu Ting Yi, almost a transcendent being, was unwilling to manage him, allowing him to waste away.
He contracted “Autumn Night White” in a Jiangnan brothel and still needed medication after returning to the capital. His monthly allowance insufficient, he gradually began stealing from home to sell.
“White Dew Powder” was a forbidden item in the capital, only tradable in the black market and extremely expensive. Fu Ya not only sold his own belongings but also secretly sold his mother’s dowry. When discovered by Lady Qin, it led to a massive family quarrel. Unable to bear the noise, Ying Guo Gong Fu Ting Yi simply packed his bags and moved to a countryside Taoist temple, avoiding the chaos.
After being scolded by his mother, Fu Ya didn’t dare touch her room again. Desperate for money, he snuck into Fu Ting Yi’s room one night, ransacking everything and finding several bank notes. Believing the box contained something valuable, he took it to a locksmith. Upon opening, he found a stack of letters exchanged with the Southwest.
Even Fu Ya understood the significance of these documents. He was both shocked by Fu Ting Yi’s hidden depths and clearly saw this as a potential golden opportunity.
These documents could instantly destroy the entire Fu family and pull Fu Shen down from his pedestal, ensuring he would never rise again.
Amidst overwhelming excitement and destructive desire, Fu Ya could still calmly consider his next move. He couldn’t directly report this to the authorities because Fu Shen had the cunning Yan Xiao Han by his side. Presenting evidence would be like walking into a trap.
Weak and alone, he needed to find someone who could contend with the Yan and Fu factions and use their hands to accomplish this task.
After careful consideration and investigation, he brought his “proof of loyalty” to Xue Sheng’s doorstep.
