Chapter 850: Chapter 849: Shock Across All Sides
Being in Changan, Wen Congrui would naturally know about the Wu Family. Although this family, which passed down its craft through generations, cannot compare with those century-old noble families, through the efforts of their ancestors, they are now considered part of the Officialâs Family.
But even though they are nobles and powerful people, in the eyes of the century-old noble families and the imperial nobility, the Wu Family is merely a nouveau riche. Their foundation naturally cannot compare with those families whose branches are extensive, after all, their ancestors were merely craftsmen.
The Wu Family rose through craftsmanship, but over the years, whether itâs because the Wu family members desperately wanted to shake off the artisan background, their sculpting skills have waned generation by generation, opting instead for the path of the Imperial Examination. Yet, failing in both craft and examination, the new generation of the Wu Family has not produced many remarkable talents.
But Wufu, if she truly is the inheritor of the Wu Familyâs bloodline, itâs incredibly dramatic. Who knows what the Wu Family will do once they find out?
Hence, people with such remarkable craftsmanship have secret mentors and a lineage to uphold.
"I remember Wu Lihongâs Legitimate Wife is?" questioned Wen Congrui.
Nan Shan promptly replied, "She is the legitimate daughter Lady Wang from Marquis Yonganâs Mansion."
"Legitimate Daughter?"
"Itâs said to be a legitimate daughter, but she is actually a concubine-born daughter listed under the name of the Lady of Marquis Yongan. Lady Wangâs birth mother passed away after giving birth to her, and at that time, Lady of Marquis Yongan hadnât borne children for years, so she listed this child under her name. As it turned out, after assigning Lady Wang under her name, Lady of Marquis Yongan then gave birth to two Legitimate Sons, thus she deeply cherished this daughter," Nan Shan explained.
Wen Congrui sighed, "With this, Lady Wang would not be easy to deal with. It would be fine if Wu Lihong doesnât bring Madam Zhou and her daughter back, but if he does, aha."
"The Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the Wu Family is younger than Wufu by a year."
Wen Congrui lowered his gaze, "This is a mess; Wufuâs personality probably wonât rest easy, thereâs bound to be turmoil. As for the Wu Family, putting everything else aside, just Lady Wang is not easy to deal with. If the mother and daughter truly get brought back, thereâs bound to be suffering."
Who would disagree? Nan Shan himself thought it was quite the drama upon hearing inquiry.
"Sheâs currently gone to Changan; who knows when sheâll return? And by the time she does, things may have already been settled; her temper..." Wen Congrui added.
He naturally knew where Wufu went; heard she had gone with that Mo Jiu to Changan, doing some business. Upon hearing this news, he felt somewhat unsettled.
"Enough, as observers, letâs just fulfill our roles as spectators," Wen Congrui picked up the dossier and started reading.
Nan Shan retreated out.
Lan Shu hid in the shadows, only stepping out once Nan Shan had left, her face unable to mask her shock.
She truly hadnât expected to hear such a shocking news; that wild girl turned out to be part of the Wu Family.
Lan Shu knew the Wu Family, although compared to the Wen Family, itâs certainly not worth mentioning, they are still part of the Officialâs Family, and Wu Lihong is a fifth-rank official. If he was truly Wufuâs father, then she would be the daughter of a fifth-rank official?
Even if sheâs just a concubine-born daughter, sheâs still a young lady.
A concubine-born daughter, although not prestigious, is certainly stronger than a disgraceful illegitimate child. Moreover, Wufu is not entirely unknown, she has some fame.
So, what would the young master think?
Lan Shu looked at the window of the study, bit her lip, and clenched her fists.
She canât, she canât sit idle, she must do something.
