Chuanwen told Wenxue to go and rest, and even offered her some kind words of comfort. But if she didn't leave, what would be the point of Wenxue leaving on her own?

The two ministers, Hu and Gong, chuckled to themselves. "Don't go! Don't go! Do you have any other dark secrets about the Minister of Justice? Tell us so we can have a laugh!"

Just as they were having a good time, Chuanwen's puzzled voice came through: "Aren't the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works always at odds? When did they become so close? They're even holding hands to worship the Thunder God!"

Hand in hand!!!

When the gossip got to them, their smiles froze instantly. They hadn't done anything wrong!

Although they didn't hold hands, the two came together and didn't exchange a single word of hostility along the way, which Chuanwen considered to be the same as good friends holding hands.

The sullen-faced Minister of Justice, who had been looking dejected, suddenly perked up. "Whoosh! It's your turn now! This is what they call the wheel of fortune turning!"

"Oh, well, if Miss Chuan wants to worship the Thunder God, then stay here. Xiaoxue, don't worry, go and rest. There are several servants here, so Miss Chuan won't get hurt."

The Minister of Justice rarely smiled, and he seemed quite happy about it, leaving Wen Xue speechless. "Uncle, how did you become the Minister of Justice when you're so unreliable?"

Previously, in her eyes, her uncle, the Minister of Justice, was a wise and dignified figure, but now, her idealized image of him has been shattered!

Wen Xue was now caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to leave or stay. In the end, she decided to stay, since the conversation would shift to the other two ministers, and she wouldn't feel so awkward anymore.

Why are there so many people worshipping the Thunder God today?

Chuanwen's thoughts took a sharp turn, and the Minister of Justice, who was waiting to hear the two ministers of household affairs and public office gossip, almost fell over. No, this is not what I want to hear!

The two ministers, Hu and Gong, secretly wiped their sweat. Huh! They suddenly realized that they didn't have any gossip to dig up. They had been behaving themselves lately and nothing had happened. What was there to sweat about? Having figured it out, the two straightened their backs.

At this moment, another group of people came out of the main hall in front. They walked forward and the group seemed quite excited, discussing something.

One person said, "The Thunder God came out to catch ghosts last night, so praying to him will surely be very effective and your wishes will come true!"

Another chimed in, "That's right! I used to think that the Minister of Justice built the Thunder God Temple in the capital just to impress the emperor and show him how much he cared about the country and its people. But now I think that the Minister of Justice must have met the Thunder God, otherwise why would he have thought of building a Thunder God Temple in the capital!"

Well......

The two ministers, Hu Gong and Chuan Wen, silently looked at the Minister of Justice standing to the side. Wen Xue was still being cared for by the Minister's wife about her health; otherwise, she would have looked over as well.

The Minister of Justice felt a little ashamed at the confused looks from the three men! He really was just commemorating his feelings for Xiao Meng and incidentally praying that Wen Yu would get dumped...

"The Thunder God catching ghosts? I bet it's just some idiot coming up with this to fool the people!"

The two ministers, Hu and Gong, recalled the previous Star Worship Cult, where the so-called God statue was also rumored to be incredibly powerful.

The Minister of Works nodded in agreement, saying, "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits. There are no ghosts or spirits in this world; they are just things created by people with ulterior motives to mislead people."

The person standing in front of them was Wang Sandie. He overheard the discussion between the two ministers, Hu Gong and others, and quickly turned around to shush them, lowering his voice to say, "You noble sirs, please don't speak carelessly, lest you offend the gods!"

The old man's serious demeanor left the group bewildered. The Minister's wife was also displeased. She turned around and gave the two of them a deep look. What was wrong with them? Saying such things in the temple built by her husband? Did they think that the old man had ulterior motives?

When the Minister's wife went to see the Minister of Justice, she thought he would also say something sarcastic, but seeing his expression, she realized that he actually agreed with the two ministers. She was so angry that her face turned black. She really felt that her husband was not in the right state of mind today!

"Grandpa, you seem to believe so much in the Thunder God, have you actually seen him?"

Chuan Wen, with his bright, gossipy eyes, drew the attention of the others. They too wanted to know if he had actually seen something that sounded so incredible.

Chuanwen humbly sought guidance, and Uncle Wang was happy to answer. "Indeed! Last night I truly heard the Thunder God catching ghosts!"

Then, Wang Sandie excitedly recounted the sounds he had heard from the other side of the city wall the previous night.

"That sound was so loud, it couldn't possibly be made by a human! Who else could it be but the Thunder God!"

Wang San's story sounded very convincing, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment. Chuanwen, however, was puzzled, asking, "Is it true?"

Since Chuanwen had already transmigrated into a book, she wasn't sure if there were really no gods or ghosts in this world. So she flipped through the all-purpose script in her mind and came across the page about what happened on the city wall last night. She was speechless.

[Last night, the emperor led his men to the city gate to catch bandits, and he even brought my new toy along! He even used a microphone to shout at the bandits! Isn't this disturbing the peace so late at night? Don't they have any public decency?!]

Chuanwen was still resentful that the emperor had taken her toy, and she condemned him mercilessly at this moment, but she soon couldn't help but laugh.

Therefore, the Thunder God is the emperor!

In other words, the Minister of Revenue just called the Emperor an idiot!

The Minister of Revenue's face turned pale instantly, and the Minister of Works wasn't much better off. Although he hadn't said anything particularly offensive, it didn't seem like he'd said anything nice either!

Only the Minister of Justice's eyes lit up. "Oh ho! Has he caught these two red-handed?"

The Minister of Justice had already planned to use this as leverage to threaten the two men. If they dared to reveal the real reason he built the Leigong Temple, he would report them to the Emperor and punish them for disrespecting the Son of Heaven in no time!

"My sow hasn't gotten pregnant for three years. I'm here today to pray to the Thunder God that my sow will finally get pregnant this year!"

Wang Sandie was full of confidence. Last night, even the Thunder God appeared, so it must be very effective. His pig will definitely be able to conceive piglets this year!

"cough--!"

Chuanwen couldn't help but exclaim, and the three ministers and Wenxue were also completely blank-minded. Pigs, piglets?! Surely the Emperor couldn't possibly concern himself with this!

"Really?" The Minister's wife also began to look forward to it after hearing Wang San's words. It must be that their monthly offerings to burn incense and make sacrifices moved the Thunder God, which is why he appeared! In that case, would the Thunder God hear her wish to have a daughter?

Seeing the expectant look on the Minister's wife's face, the group fell silent again. Well, putting aside whether the Emperor could control their desire for a child, the Thunder God isn't a god who grants children! They've come to the wrong place!

"Uncle, what are you here to pray for?"

Chuanwen asked a middle-aged man next to Wang Sandie with great interest in his eyes. The others silently wiped their sweat, wondering if the emperor would be furious if he found out!
