Wei Zheng, stationed far away at Yanmen Pass in the northern frontier, received a secret report from Yangzhou three years too late. He learned that his younger sister, Wei, had not been living in peace at all. She had suffered endless humiliation in the Sheng household and ultimately died in childbirth, taking both her own life and her baby's. Even more heartbreaking, his only niece, Minglan, had been left an orphan and was being bullied in the household.
The battle-hardened marquis, who had spent more than a decade drenched in blood on the battlefield, was so enraged that he spat blood on the spot. He immediately issued a military order, ignoring the fighting at the border and his subordinates' pleas. Leading his personal cavalry guard, he set out at once for the Sheng residence in Yangzhou, riding day and night without rest. He swore that everyone who had bullied his sister and niece would pay for it in blood.
