"Oh, we were wondering what wish you'd make when you go inside to worship the Thunder God!"
The Minister of Revenue chuckled, effortlessly finding an excuse. In fact, he was genuinely looking forward to hearing what wish Chuanwen would make later!
The others quickly joined in with smirks. Chuanwen nodded with some skepticism, then laughed and said, "Of course it means promotion, wealth, and all good fortune!"
Chuanwen's eyes sparkled, and his wish brought smiles to the faces of the two ministers of household affairs and the wife of the minister of justice. Although Chuanwen's wish was a bit simple, it was something that everyone wanted!
However, the Minister of Justice and Wen Xue's smiles were somewhat forced, as they hadn't yet recovered from the revelation.
But according to the leaked information, there's no limit to how ruthless they can get!
What I wish for is unimportant; what matters is what the Minister of Justice and his wife wish for!
Chuanwen smelled the melon's aroma and his mind raced through the script, […Found it, found it, it's written here!]
[Hahaha! Praying for a daughter! The Minister's wife is praying for a daughter at the Thunder God Temple her husband built for another woman! And every time the Minister of Justice accompanies her, he only prays for that woman to divorce him!]
Chuanwen's thoughts were a bit difficult to articulate, and the Minister of Works, being old, didn't immediately understand, blankly trying to sort them out in his mind.
So the Minister of Justice still cared about Liang Meng, not only building a Leigong Temple for her but also praying for her to divorce him as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the Minister's wife, who was kept in the dark, was still thinking about having a daughter with the Minister of Justice.
After things were sorted out, the Minister of Works looked at his wife with some sympathy. The key point was that at this moment, the Minister's wife was very considerate and concerned about Wenxue's recent life. Her eyes were full of joy when she looked at Wenxue, as if she wished Wenxue were her own daughter.
"well!"
The two ministers, Hu and Gong, sighed simultaneously, feeling even more sympathetic. If their wives knew that Wenxue was the daughter of the woman the Minister of Justice so desperately desired, they wondered if they would still cherish her so much.
The two looked at the Minister of Justice with disgust. "You have someone else in your heart, how come you brought someone else's daughter in front of your own wife? Isn't this the scumbag that Wen Yatou was talking about?"
The Minister of Justice, feeling slighted, shrank back. He was praying that Liang Meng would dump Wen Yujun as soon as possible, but it wasn't that he wanted anything more with Liang Meng. Rather, he really couldn't stand Wen Yujun's act of being weak when everyone was around, but then smugly puffing up his tail when it was just the two of them alone!
He just wanted to see how that guy would act all high and mighty in front of him after being dumped by Liang Meng!
"By the way, Xiaoxue, I heard from your uncle that you're going home in a few days. I've prepared some gifts. Come over to our house and bring the gifts with you. I'll also ask your uncle to find some people to escort you. It's not safe for a girl like you to travel such a long distance alone!"
The Minister's wife held Wenxue's hand and gave her some instructions. Wenxue didn't dare to look her in the eye; she felt so guilty.
However, Chuanwen caught the gossip in the words and chuckled to himself, "[Gifts? Hahaha...Every gift the Minister's Mansion sent to the Wen family is a longevity gift!]"
[The main thing is that every time the Minister's wife carefully selects a gift, the Minister of Justice will attach a letter, the content of which is roughly similar to: Xiaomeng, this jade bracelet suits you very well. Your brother specially asked a skilled craftsman to make it for you!]
Xiaomeng, this brocade is the most popular style right now. I remember you love banyan flowers the most, so I specially found this brocade embroidered with banyan flowers for you!
as well as,
Xiaomeng, the south is very humid, and there are many insects. I specially found some herbs to repel insects and dispel dampness. Remember to use them!
Chuanwen, in a rough voice, imitated the tone of the Minister of Justice to explain the contents of the letter, making the others extremely embarrassed.
The two ministers of household affairs and public works looked at the minister of justice with even more disdain. Using his wife's favor to curry favor with another woman! What a scumbag!
However, after reading the letter, Wenxue's father accidentally dropped the jade bracelet into the pond while playing with it. He felt guilty for a long time, which made Wenxue's mother feel sorry for him! Afterwards, out of guilt, Wenxue's father found a better one, one that suited Wenxue's mother better, and put it on her! To ease his guilt, Wenxue's mother even promised to let him wear it every day...
[And that brocade, hahaha! This is even more amazing! He deliberately took it from Wenxue while she was practicing her swordplay, letting her admire the gift her uncle had given her. Then, unsurprisingly, Wenxue, who was swinging her sword, wasn't paying attention, and with a rip, the brocade was cut in two! Hahaha! Wenxue's father was furious and gave her a good scolding. Then, at dinner, Wenxue's father happily ate two extra bowls of rice!]
Wenxue was taken aback. From what Chuanwen said, it seemed that her father had deliberately taken the brocade and made her ruin it.
No way? Wen Xue was incredulous. Although she knew her father was a bit cunning, she was his own daughter. He couldn't possibly betray his own daughter!
Wenxue gradually felt like crying, because when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that not only Yun Jin, but also all sorts of gifts from her uncle that she had broken since she was a child! Inkstones, porcelain, ornaments, and so on! And it seemed that they were all given to her by her father, and every time her father scolded her, he seemed to be in a pretty good mood!
Wenxue had never thought about this before and had never doubted her father. But now that Chuanwen had explained it to her, she was stunned!
Not only her, but her brother also broke many gifts given by their uncle, which were all given to her brother by their father!
Tears welled up in Wenxue's eyes. Father! I never imagined you were this kind of father!
The two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were also stunned. No wonder the Minister of Justice couldn't win the argument. This person was really a bit despicable!
But then again, you're a dignified Minister of Justice, you already have a wife and children at home, why are you still getting involved with other people's wives? You deserve to make a fool of yourself!
