If merit goes unrewarded, who will be willing to lay down their lives for the family in the future? If someone dies in service, their children are rewarded. If they have no children, their family is rewarded. If they have no family, a monument is erected, a statue is carved, and they are enshrined in the Wang Family's Martyr's Shrine.
Everyone was well aware of this principle. However, considering Wang Rencai's long list of past misdeeds, no one really knew how the Patriarch would reward him.
"How else could he be rewarded? Wiping the slate clean of his past transgressions would already be a heavenly reward."
"But the Wang Family's rules state that merits and demerits don't cancel each other out. Meritorious deeds must be rewarded. There's bound to be some benefit."
"I heard the original reward was a small residence in the center of Haojing, the kind where the deed would belong to Wang Meng personally!"
"Tsk! That's an incredibly generous reward!"
