Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law Clash

When I was drinking with him, he said he wanted to try it again.

"That's fine too." Gu Wanning thought for a moment and then said, "The day after tomorrow is Fourth Concubine's birthday, I'll take them there..."

Where would be a good place to go?

What kind of place, where men and women come and go, makes it difficult for one to have impure thoughts?

"... Yuhong Temple, perhaps," Gu Wanning suggested.

Listen to the chanting of Buddhist hymns and ask the Buddha lovers so that they may be united in marriage.

Moreover, people pray to gods and Buddhas regardless of gender, and the more people there are, the less likely it is to cause scandals.

"Also," Gu Wanning added worriedly, "My Marquis, please remind Qin Lie that it's fine for him to show off, but not too obviously. If his First Concubine realizes he's doing it on purpose, she probably won't even leave the house anymore."

She did everything she could; now it's up to the two of them to see if they're meant to be.

Gu Wanning couldn't bring herself to tie the two together in such a simple and brutal way as Xu Weibei.

The final decision rests with the First Concubine.

Xu Weibei sat down on the edge of the bed. "Let Qin Lie worry about his own affairs. If you want to go somewhere else or have other ideas, feel free to arrange it yourself. I have no objection."

Gu Wanning: I want a divorce, is that okay?

But she didn't say.

She decided to rely on herself.

The Corn is almost ripe, almost there, almost there.

She probably needs to talk to her father.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanshi came to see her first.

Chapter 83 The Battle Between Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law

Xu Weibei appointed official in the Ministry of Revenue, was constantly irritated by various matters, and his temper flared up like a firecracker every day.

Gao Lan often used Gu Wanning to calm him down, and it was very effective.

Xu Weibei had only one experience: poverty, absolute poverty.

Although it's said that new officials shouldn't ignore past debts, the national treasury was empty. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; what could he do?

But Gu Yuanshi, on the other hand, kept talking about reform every day.

What he wanted to promote was the "Green Sprouts Law," which, in short, meant that the imperial court would lend money to the people so that they could plant crops smoothly, and then repay the imperial court with interest when the harvest came in the autumn.

Many poor people don't even have the money to buy seeds, so they can only borrow money at high interest rates. With interest compounding, they can easily fall into deeper poverty and eventually have to sell their land to become tenant farmers or even slaves.

A large amount of land ended up in the hands of the powerful and wealthy.

Xu Weibei had previously thought that this was relatively acceptable compared to other reform provisions.

Of course, that was before!

Now that he's in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, if this policy is to be implemented next year, it will require financial support. Where will the imperial court get the money?

Looking at Gu Yuanshi now, Xu Weibei felt that he was just someone who talked without understanding the situation.

In the past, he would definitely have had a serious argument with Gu Yuanshi in front of the emperor during court sessions.

He wants to now, but when he thinks of Gu Wanning, he can hold back.

Gao Lan is right; even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha.

He could disagree with Gu Yuanshi, he could object to the Emperor, he could refuse to cooperate, but he couldn't embarrass Gu Yuanshi in front of so many people and make him a laughingstock.

Those idiots will definitely think they don't care about Gu Wanning.

No, he cares.

Gu Yuanshi did not treat Gu Wanning as his own daughter, so he relentlessly impeached himself.

However, he considered Gu Wanning as his wife, so he endured it for her sake.

In comparison, the difference is immediately apparent.

Xu Weibei felt as if he were bathed in the glow of Cupid.

Gu Yuanshi is really, really annoying.

For example, today when he went to court, he impeached Xu Weibei again.

Xu Weibei: He would only feel like the sun had risen in the west if he didn't get impeached on the day of his death.

But when he heard it today, he realized something was wrong!

What is Gu Yuanshi babbling about?!

He actually said that he was extravagant and dissolute, spending a lot of money just for novelty, and that he flaunted his wealth in public, which had an extremely bad influence, like Shi Chong showing off his wealth. If this is not done, it will set a bad example and make more people do the same.

Xu Weibei was absolutely furious.

Is this targeted at him? If it is, he's thick-skinned and doesn't care.

But no, this is clearly aimed at Gu Wanning!

He made a big fuss, announcing it to the world, just to say that the gift was for Gu Wanning. Was Gu Wanning the most precious person in his heart?

Gu Yuanshi, isn't this a direct attack on Gu Wanning?

Others can say that, but Gu Yuanshi cannot!

My heart is completely biased towards you.

Xu Weibei felt wronged for Gu Wanning and couldn't help but rebuke Gu Yuanshi, essentially saying, "How can one govern a country and bring peace to the world? Has your family been governed properly?"

They're both your daughters, yet you treat them differently. You're utterly heartless and shameless!

You abuse your own daughter, yet you can't stand me being good to her. Is your daughter even your biological daughter? Is she the daughter of your father's killer?

Xu Weibei isn't good at arguing, but in this argument, he really gave it his all.

The Emperor was speechless for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's not discuss family matters in court."

Gu Yuanshi, holding his official tablet, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a family matter. One should not refrain from doing good because it is small, nor commit evil because it is insignificant. The Marquis of Yingchuan's behavior is far too arrogant and willful; Your Majesty should punish him as a warning to others."

Xu Weibei: You old fool, whether you're truly poor or pretending, it's up to you; but I have money. My grandmother and parents left me money, and I can earn it myself. I'm willing to spend a fortune to make my wife smile. Do I need an old fool like you to come out and point fingers?

He was just short of taking action.

The big fight between the father-in-law and son-in-law has provided plenty of entertainment for everyone.

The main thing is that this melon is quite novel.

--Previously, everyone had only heard of fathers-in-law standing up for their daughters and criticizing their sons-in-law; who had ever heard of the opposite!

The son-in-law actually felt that his father-in-law was biased and mistreated his wife.

Your Majesty: You've really gone too far!

They're attending court!
