The empire's most corrupt official and Su Wanmei's natal family member. He embezzled the dowry of the Princess Consort of Prince Chu, which should have gone to the national treasury, and hid it in his underground treasury. His estate was enormous with multiple hidden warehouses, private storerooms in every courtyard, and a heavily guarded study. Hua Zhiyun looted his entire residence including all dowries, betrothal gifts, and his underground treasury.
