Fan Tong was wrong.
Neglecting him was not the housekeeper's intention; it was under the instruction of the Chief Historian Deng.
Having been in the presence of Prince Ning for so long, Chief Historian Deng naturally wouldn't be easily swayed by minor favors.
As a confidant of Prince Ning, he's surrounded by countless people each day.
Even if Fan Tong saved his life, he would ponder whether there was a deliberate scheme to approach him.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he woke up to find his savior beside him?
If it was an act by Prince Ning's political enemies to ensnare him in order to bait Prince Ning, wouldn't he be doomed?
On that day, the reason he brought Fan Tong home and spoke of aiding his advancement was merely to probe Fan Tong's background.
In the past two days, Chief Historian Deng had thoroughly investigated Fan Tong's background, discovering him to be nothing more than a destitute scholar relying on relatives.
