The Jiang family used to be one of the richest families in the capital. After the current emperor ascended the throne, the national reserve was in deficit. A random reason was given and the top five richest families in the capital had their assets confiscated. The Jiang family was the first to bear the brunt.
All the money that was in their possession was handed over involuntarily. Even their house was confiscated after they were given a random excuse. They were ordered to leave the city immediately and not return to the capital.
Helpless, Father Jiang led a wandering life with his family using the money he had secretly stashed away. In the end, they settled down in Peach Blossom Village.
However, he suffered from depression and passed away not long after. Before he died, he was still worrying about not being buried in the ancestral grave. He was filled with regrets when he died.
