Chapter 402 - Chapter 401: Making Preparations

Chu Lingxuan shook his head, "This position is just too good, so many are fighting for it, including the Second Prince's party and the Third Prince's party. My father-in-law is in their way, they're definitely going to make trouble for him. If my father-in-law had no scandals, it would be fine, but not only does he have scandals, most people from his hometown know about them. There's no way to stop the spread of rumors." After a pause, he continued, "Some have already begun to impeach my father-in-law, saying that as soon as he succeeded, he divorced his legitimate wife and remarried. He has accepted hefty bribes, bought hundreds of acres of farmland within three months and a four-compound house in the county town. Also, he allowed the Zhao Clan to exploit the villagers, causing some families to lose everything and be displaced, amongst other things. If the things he did when he was an official in Jiangnan get dragged into it, it'll be even more troublesome."
