Moreover, the parents who should have been his strongest support became the last straw that broke An Bingfeng.

When An Bingfeng was expelled from the An Family, he was in disgrace, penniless, and even whipped twenty times.

It was when his younger stepbrother stood before him with arrogance that he realized all of this was their conspiracy.

The fact that the sordid affair had been concealed for so long was just part of their twisted amusement.

They simply wanted to see him reduced to a pitiful, dog-like state.

Later, cast out from the An Family, An Bingfeng lived like a stray dog, bullied by all.

How could An Bingfeng possibly resign to such a fate?

With great resolve, enduring physical pain, An Bingfeng persevered and reached the capital city intending to take the imperial examination, hoping to change his cruel fate.

However, fate was unkind. For a talented man disgraced in such a manner, rising to prominence in the talent-saturated capital city was exceedingly difficult!

During the examination, accusations of adultery with his stepmother were exposed, and he was immediately thrown out of the examination hall.

Thus, after wandering the capital city for several months, in a state no better than a beggar, An Bingfeng encountered the then-Prince of Jing, the future Emperor Emeritus.

Despite his strange experiences, An Bingfeng’s own talent was genuine and substantial, not merely superficial.

At the time, the future Emperor Emeritus was not a conventional person; otherwise, knowing An Bingfeng’s reputation, most would want to stay as far away as possible regardless of his talent.

Yet, the future Emperor Emeritus, intrigued by the oddity of it all, immediately found the situation particularly bizarre upon hearing it.

Therefore, to ascertain the truth of the matter, he specifically sent people to investigate the An Family.

With the intervention of the Imperial Family, uncovering the truth was remarkably easy.

It was later discovered that the concubine was orchestrated by An Bingfeng’s younger stepbrother and their mother, specifically to frame him.

Though the future Emperor Emeritus in his youth was somewhat unorthodox, he also valued talent.

Especially after learning of such a peculiar matter in the world, his desire to stir things up grew even stronger.

Hence, although An Bingfeng failed the imperial examination, he became the new favorite of the then Prince of Jing’s Residence, rising above the masses for a time.

Later, the Prince of Jing became the Crown Prince and then the Emperor, and An Bingfeng’s status rose accordingly, step by step ascending to the position of Prime Minister.

However, once An Bingfeng gained power, he swiftly brought down the An Family and made his enemies pay the price.

Understanding what An Bingfeng had been through, his actions are understandable.

When people are in despair, they desperately climb upwards, all for the day they can proudly trample their enemies beneath their feet!

The An Family fell rapidly, and in consideration of the few remaining bonds, An Bingfeng spared the lives of Master An and Madam An.

However, his younger stepbrother and their mother were sent to the most degrading and dark places.

Since the establishment of the Prime Minister Residence, there has never been a woman present, indicating how deeply Master An’s favoritism of concubines disgusted him.

In this world, those who knew the truth of the matter, besides the current Emperor, have long paid with their lives. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
