Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

At noon, after a life-and-death fight with the goblin and a delicious lunch, Hu Weiyong finally walked out of the small courtyard feeling refreshed.

Feeling the warm spring sun on his body, Hu Weiyong smiled sarcastically.

"This is what we call living!"

Looking back at the small courtyard at the corner of the street, Hu Weiyong smacked his lips with satisfaction.

This small place is truly your own little paradise.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that I feel relaxed and happy every time I come here, it is not in vain that I spend money and energy to buy such a place and place Rushi here.

Moreover, this woman Rushi is different from the women in the house.

Because he didn't know his identity at all, he really regarded himself as an old student with considerable wealth but no fame.

Perhaps, in Rushi's eyes, he is a handsome old man who is in his late fifties but looks like he is only in his thirties or forties.

As long as the merits of this imperial examination are in place, he will definitely be a first-rate match.

It is precisely because of this understanding that when Ru Shi serves him, it is called enthusiasm.

The key is, without the constraints of identity, Rushi's ideas are endless.

But what about the ones in the house?

Of course they also want to compete for favor and flatter themselves.

But after all, the identity is different, so I can't let go.

He can only wait to be beaten honestly, unlike Rushi, who has a good foundation and is still thinking about how to get a successful beating.

This is interesting.

Just for this point, all this money and this little thought were not in vain.

After all, he, Mr. Hu, is so sexy.

Looking up at the sun again, Hu Weiyong thought that he would be late anyway, so he simply strolled to work.

Wandering to the Ministry of Rites with his hands behind his back, Hu Weiyong originally planned to go straight to his small courtyard and continue fishing.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the small courtyard, I heard several clerks muttering in the staff room nearby.

"Hey, have you heard that our niece from the Hu family broke off their engagement? Something went wrong again!"

"Ah? Another trouble? What kind of trouble could there be? Didn't Li Xiang bring his nephew to the house to break off the engagement? Could it be that he regretted it?"

When Hu Weiyong heard his name, he stopped immediately, looked around and then quietly moved a few steps to the corner.

I have to say that this topic really aroused his interest.

He also wanted to know why things were causing trouble again when they were clearly in the past.

And it seems to be a new trick?

Careful!

Our old Hu is really interested!

Fortunately, it's not just Mr. Hu who is interested. The lesser officials in the office who are not so well-informed are also interested in the gossip of big figures like Mr. Hu.

No, after a lot of disgusting flattery and serving tea and water, the older scribe who spoke before proudly told the news about himself.

"Hey, don't tell you about this. I was dumbfounded the first time I heard it!"

"Let me ask you, the news we heard before was that Li Xiang took his nephew to the Hu Mansion to break off the engagement in person?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly when they heard this.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Yes! That's what I heard at the time, but I never thought that this morning when I was having breakfast, I was holding my uncle in my arms, and he told me a new piece of news..."

The older scribe took a sip of tea happily after saying this, and then continued to speak to everyone who stretched their necks and looked expectantly.

"Although my uncle is only a small director of the Ministry of War, he is also an old man who has been in the Ministry of War for a long time."

"The news about his old man is never groundless."

"No, this is what he told me."

"He said, in fact, the marriage between the Li and Hu families is indeed broken. It was not the Li family who went to the Hu family to break off the engagement, but Mr. Hu from the Hu family who came directly to the Li family to break off the engagement!"

"what?"

All the scribes let out soul-like shouts in unison.

Are they unable to believe that Mr. Hu, who fishes and basks in the sun in the Ministry of Rites all day long, actually has such a majestic moment?

Even if they all knew that this man was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty before, they still couldn't believe it.

"No, Brother Zhang, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"It's not my brother that I look down on Mr. Hu. Then how come Mr. Hu dares to break off the engagement with the current prime minister's family after losing his position as prime minister?"

"Are you still going to knock on the door?"

"What are you trying to do? Why?"

As soon as this question came out, all the scribes nodded again in unison.

Even though they all ended up breaking off the engagement, in fact, there was a huge difference in who spoke first.

Because, the party whose engagement is annulled is undoubtedly the party who is despised.

That reputation is ruined.

Hu Weiyong was confused now. I'm so awesome, why didn't I know?

But the older scribe sneered disdainfully.

"You guys know nothing. I was confused at the time, but after my uncle explained it to me, I understood."

"Come on, I'll teach you a lesson too."

"First of all, Mr. Hu was neither demoted nor fell out of favor. He resigned after falling ill. Therefore, he has always been a close confidant of His Majesty. You admit this."

Everyone nodded quickly, everyone knew this.

"Secondly, although Prime Minister Li has become prime minister, so what?"

"Master Hu is still a trusted minister to His Majesty. At the same time, he still lives in seclusion and has no dealings with the government or the public at all."

"We don't care whether Mr. Hu is retreating to advance or seeing through the world of mortals. Anyway, in this situation, Mr. Li has no idea what to do if he wants to take advantage of Mr. Hu!"

"So, Mr. Hu finally came to the door and fell out. Even if Mr. Li gets angry again, what can he do to Mr. Hu?"

"It's as if no one has ever been prime minister, who is so much better than the other!"

"It's just that Prime Minister Li is in power, so the previous news was that Prime Minister Li came to cancel the engagement."

"But after all, the news can't be wrapped up in paper. No, the real news will be revealed as time goes by!"

"Comrades, now you understand!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he frowned and left.

Something's not quite right about this.

As a person involved, he knows the truth better than anyone else.

But why did such news come out?

The key is, that's Li Shanchang!

Li Shanchang and Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Dynasty have not yet fallen!

Why would someone dare to spread rumors about his family so wildly?

However, Hu Weiyong didn't say much. Even if someone asked him about it with interest, he kept silent.

As a result, as two days passed, the news became more and more outrageous.

He actually said that Li You had misbehaved, and Hu Weiyong couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to break off the engagement.

But after this incident, Hu Xinyue's reputation was completely reversed.
