Speaking of which, Su Luo had learned about Zhu Yue's marital affair from Zhu Jiao during these days.
Zhu Yue had spent a part of her childhood in Jiangnan, where her marriage was arranged. At the age of eleven, she fell into a lake and was saved by her current husband, Li Yuan. Her father-in-law was not yet thirty at that time and had already become a top scholar in the local examination. The region of Jiangnan, covered with rivers and lakes, was even more culturally rich than the North. Generally, those who could become top scholars were expected to become imperial students, and many could even make it to the palace examination. They would only need to wait till the next Spring to participate in the Ministry of Rites examination and their careers were bound to take off.
The only issue with Li's family was that Li Lang's mother was an ignorant woman from the countryside. It was only out of a sense of gratitude that Li Lang's grandfather made her his daughter-in-law.
