"The Wu family is a family of the founding dukes. Don't you see how poor the family has become over the years? It's because of Wu Yong's bad luck. How do you know if there weren't others who fanned the flames? His only son was saved only after Wu Yong voluntarily withdrew from the struggle for military power."

"No, I'm talking about our son wanting to enter Hongwenguan. What are you talking about? What does his Wu family have to do with our family?"

Sun didn't quite understand her husband's nonsense words, but this woman with a bad temper could hear a little anger.

"It doesn't make sense that he can break the rules just because so many of his children died. Who doesn't have money to spend? If you're reluctant to spend money on your son, my Sun family has been passed down for many years, and my dowry is enough to buy a place for my son..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Wenxing interrupted her incoherent nonsense with a headache. His wife was good in every way except her temper. When she got angry, she would catch anyone and give them a thrashing.

"What I mean is that the Wuguogong Mansion gave up some rights in exchange for the emperor's blessing on his sons. But at the same time, as a noble who loses his power in the army, it is like a general losing his armor and weapons. So now Fatty Wu is eager to find a new way out for his son.

This was tacitly approved by the emperor, and all the clear-headed people in the court knew it. It can be said that as long as Wu Zhongzhao had the ability to come up with a name, his Wu family could smoothly switch from military to civil.

Or is old man Li crazy? How could he recruit a dandy boy into the Hongwen Academy for no reason? So who do you think the Duke of Wu got his connections from?"

"........."

Her husband had said it so clearly, and Sun was not a fool, so why would she need to guess? So she could only shut her mouth and mutter to herself.

Son, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that my dowry can't bribe the emperor!

Looking at his wife's expression, he knew that she finally understood. Lord Zhao, who had taught his wife all his life, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I walked to the table, sat down, brought the hot tea to my lips and was about to take a sip when I suddenly thought of something.

"Are you sure that Shujie'er's savior is Gu Chuanrong's daughter?"

"How can it be false?"

Sun also sat next to her husband, but she did not drink tea. She just used her handkerchief to hold a small piece of cake and took a few bites.

"Master, please try this. This is what Ninth Girl brought back. She said it was made by Miss Chu's sister-in-law. It tastes really good. Countryside snacks have a unique flavor."

"I don't like sweets."

Look at the layers of sugar on it, it's a bit choking, Lord Zhao turned his eyes away and drank another sip of tea. He thought for a long time in his heart before speaking softly.

"I heard a rumor these past two days that the girl from the Chu family didn't recognize herself as a daughter of the Gu family, but instead entered the Chu family. Not only did she empty the Gu family's assets, she also beat up her family's elders. She is unfilial and extremely naughty..."

"fart!"

Sun couldn't stand listening halfway through, and slammed the table hard, raised her eyebrows and spoke in a sharp tone.

"Where did you hear these gossips? It's obvious that the Gu family is being unkind and using a lowly concubine's daughter to exchange for Miss Chu's status as the eldest legitimate daughter!

It's been nearly twenty years, and I finally found my way back home, but it turned out that the confused people in the Gu family would rather have a concubine's daughter than their own eldest daughter.

If they are so biased, why don't they allow the child to seek justice for himself?"

Sun was a quick-talking person. She had been sitting with her butt crooked to begin with, and now she was speaking from Chu Chi's perspective. It would be impossible for her to have a good tone when talking about the Gu family.

"Why are you so anxious? I'm just chatting with you. I just want to tell you about this rumor in the capital, so I thought it would be better to ask for clarification."

"I have heard Ninth Girl tell me this story eight times from beginning to end. Don't I know the situation better than you? Why am I so anxious? I am just telling you the truth."

Sun snorted coldly.

"What are you saying about confiscating all the Gu family's assets? And you're saying Miss Chu is unfilial and unfraternal, and that's not good?

Pooh!

As soon as I heard the tone, I knew it was most likely that rumor spread by that confused Chu from the Gu family, or by the concubine's daughter who married into the Liu family.

They probably want to be beaten!"

What was said before might be untrue, but the last sentence was absolutely what Sun said sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

"Whether they recognize her or not, Miss Chu is indeed the eldest daughter, so what's wrong with asking for a little dowry from her family? Is it too much?

Besides, it was Minister Chu who took the lead in handling this matter. As the old saying goes, the thunder god in the sky is the uncle on earth, and the mother's uncle is the most important!

What, the Gu family regretted giving the dowry, and now they want to take it back? Do they still have any shame?

I’m afraid I haven’t been beaten enough!”

Always remembering the sour and painful feeling they felt when they were kicked by the tiger-head shoes, the Sun family can now speak well.

Don’t ask, the only thing to know is that those who follow their heart will have eternal life!

Lord Zhao opened his mouth several times, but was stopped by his wife every time. After thinking it over, he decided to continue drinking tea.

Anyway, whether it's good or not, judging from his niece and wife's current words and deeds, that Miss Chu has established a relationship with his family.

Besides, isn’t Minister Chu a cunning and treacherous person?

Since he was able to take the initiative to recognize his niece, it can be seen that the girl should be a good person. At least not as bad as the rumors say.

Chu Daidai, who had already gained a certain degree of fame before he became famous in the capital, was now digging the ground in the farmhouse with Dahua Huzi, who had already gotten over his emotional injury.

"Brother, plant some peaches. Peaches are delicious!"

"Row!"

Lin Yuanshan agreed without even raising his head while weeding, saying that as long as she didn't bring the tiger around to cause trouble, she would even plant monkeys!

Liu was pulling the weeds with a raker and chatting with a smile.

"We can also plant some pear trees. Not only are the fruits delicious, but when the trees bloom, the pink and white flowers will be so beautiful."

"Yes, all of them!"

What the sister-in-law said must be correct, Chu Daidai agreed very much.

The girl with a bright smile, with the fat tiger who also looked a little silly, followed the couple, circling back and forth.

Although I can't help with anything specific, the main purpose is to provide companionship. After all, the sense of participation is still very important.

The little girls from the Lin family picked up a lot of colorful wild flowers from the grass beside the pond and happily squatted together to make wreaths.
