Chapter 490 Rumors
After seeing off his sister-in-law, Mrs. Su's face was as deep as water.
Outsiders only think that their husband is backing his family and is smooth sailing, but they have never thought deeply that they are both children of the Wu family, and now they can still sit in the third-rank position, but they are only their husbands.
Over the years, outsiders don’t know how much my husband has paid, but she, the wife, knows very well.
My husband has indeed enjoyed the superior conditions and strong connections provided by the family, but what his husband has done for the family has long been offset by it.
What's more, the Wu family, which has a promising future, also has children who are dragging their backs, and the latter is much larger than the former, just like the sister-in-law who came just now, her husband is dragging their backs.
In the first place, when the magistrate of King Yu came, he neither sacrificed his life to the city for loyalty and righteousness, nor did he open the city to welcome the people as a good name. He actually abandoned the people of the county and fled with his family!
The emperor buried the magistrates who died for the city, wrote the word "loyalty and righteousness" in his hand, and built a temple to worship them; he also valued the magistrates who opened the city to welcome them.
The husband of the sister-in-law was not punished in time and would never be hired.
Mrs. Su sighed, and her husband was under pressure and asked the prince for mercy with shamelessness. In the end, she was demoted and left to the position.
Mrs. Su knew without guessing it. In the prince’s heart, he was afraid that he had already had prejudice against his husband.
The husband is diligent and honest, but in the end he will be dragged down by his clan members. Mrs. Su is unwilling to give up.
Thinking about what my sister-in-law said just now, Mrs. Su clenched her fists. No, this kind of thing cannot happen. As long as there is a little sign, it will be cut off.
She has three sons, two of them have already become officials, and the youngest is already a scholar, and she will become an official sooner or later.
Even if the husband retreats, her sons will gain a foothold in the court.
Lord Wu returned to the Honglu Temple and began to write a memorial. It was almost done in one go. After the memorial was written, he sent someone to the East Palace and presented it to the prince.
In less than an hour, the eunuch next to the prince came and Xuan came to meet him in the palace.
After entering the palace, the eunuch led him directly to the imperial study room. Only then did Lord Wu realize that the prince had actually presented his memorial to the emperor.
Lord Wu was a little excited. Although he was the Minister of the Honglu Temple, the Honglu Temple had not achieved any achievements in the past two or three years. The status of the Honglu Temple was almost equal to that of the Taipu Temple. At the court meeting, he was just a wooden stake and didn't even have the chance to speak.
So this time, Lord Wu was flattered.
Therefore, after he had greeted the emperor and the crown prince, he realized that in addition to him, the ministers in the imperial study also had the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites.
The emperor was obviously very interested in the conditions proposed by the missionary. The seeds brought by the missionary included food, vegetables, and medicinal materials. The missionaries promised to teach planting methods and assist farmers in planting them. This was undoubtedly attractive to the emperor who is now eager to solve the people's livelihood problems.

As for the missionaries who wanted to open churches and teach teachings, the emperor obviously did not take it seriously. Foreign monks just recite scriptures, so where is the people's livelihood more important?
The emperor asked the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters with the Honglu Temple, of course, not only to look at the immediate interests, but to think longer-term.
When Lord Wu returned to the mansion, there was a smile on his lips. When he looked up, he saw Mrs. Su frowning slightly. Lord Wu was puzzled. He was obviously very happy when he left in the morning.
Mrs. Su made great contributions to Mrs. Wu’s current position. In addition to taking care of his inner house, he had no worries. Mrs. Su was also good at dancing in the circle of life women in the capital. She had sex with many wives, and invisibly helped Mrs. Wu to strengthen her connections.
Seeing that the wife was depressed, Mr. Wu hurriedly asked what was going on. Mrs. Su did not hide it, and then said what she heard from the sister-in-law.
Lord Wu slapped the table with a bang, and the ceramic teacup made a collision sound.
"Not to mention that what Yang said was just hearsay. Just say that she was a female official who came out of the palace. Don't you even understand the basic rules? Is it that she is a noble family? Is she just a matter of talking about what she thinks of her? What is my Wu family?"
Mrs. Su finally calmed down her anger and was hooked up again. She said, "Who is Xiaowu's person? Our Wu family belongs to her fastest. If you hear something in the morning, you can spread it throughout the Wu family alley in the afternoon. It would be fine if you listen to her nonsense and a steady person. If you are the ignorant young wife, you will probably have to pass it to their parents' homes again, and then from their parents' homes to outside. In the end, the palace will check where it was spread, and you can find the Wu family once you check."
The Wu family is still in office, and Lord Wu is the highest-ranking person, and he is the first to bear the brunt of it.
According to Yang, Duke Li, the wife of Duke Li, had known Duke Ding before he divorced with his ex-husband. Therefore, his chastity was detrimental, so his ex-husband divorced with her.
With such a mother, you can imagine what good things a daughter can be, not to mention that when she was divorced, her ex-husband didn’t want this daughter at all.
Of course, Yang Suyun is not stupid. She should have said it very obscurely, but if it is passed on by others, that is what the above meaning is.
Lord Wu suppressed his anger and said to Mrs. Su: "Although I have never been to Pingcheng, Lord Chen from Honglu Temple came back from Pingcheng. Mrs. Li and Li went to court in Pingcheng, and even spread throughout half of the city.
Mrs. Li's ex-husband favored her concubine and killed her wife and embezzled her wife's dowry. Her mother instructed her sister-in-law to seek money and kill her. Mrs. Li was almost killed, and then she escaped with her daughter.
That was a very opinionated woman. She first resigned from her ex-husband, and after resigned, she sued her ex-husband's family in court. The case was tried by Pingchengfu. Once the case file was investigated, it was revealed that it could be changed with just a few rumors?
Nowadays, at least 30% of the officials in the capital have returned from Pingcheng. Even if they ignore these rumors in the city, can their servants ignore it?
Have you watched it for so long, there are such rumors in the capital? Isn’t it because those people know what’s going on? At most, they just say that Mrs. Li shows up in public and opens a restaurant to do business, or that she is a remarried woman, but no one dares to talk nonsense like Yang.
This wife who has not passed away from home is not a good match.”
Mrs. Su listened quietly to her husband's words, and the last sentence was exactly what she wanted.
