Chapter 751 - 362: Utilization_2
Madam Wu said with a start, "Your adoptive father is just a Mr. Teaching, how could you become the family of a high official?"
Wu Chuniang smiled through her tears and said, "I am young and beautiful, and by becoming a minor wife to a high official, there’s always hope, right?"
Graduate Wu said again, "Becoming a minor wife means investing your whole life. Besides, even if you become a minor wife, there’s no guarantee you’ll get your revenge. The high-ranking families all have vested interests with each other, how could they possibly offend the Lian family for the sake of a concubine?"
Wu Chuniang wept and said, "I will act according to the situation and find a way to get their help. If I fight and still fail, then I can give up for good."
Seeing that Wu Chuniang had become obsessed, Graduate Wu and his wife could do nothing and let her have her way. However, they still agreed to give her three years. If she did not achieve her wish by then, she would have to marry into another family.
Wu Chuniang nodded in agreement.
She had already thought about it: only high officials in the Capital City could oppose the Lian family; even the Master County Magistrate of Xijin County wouldn’t dare to challenge them. But she didn’t dare to return to the Capital City for fear of being discovered by the Lian family.
Only near Dawu Temple in Xijin County could she likely find her target.
Dawu Temple was situated two li outside Xijin County city. Although it was not as renowned as Baoguo Temple, it still saw a constant stream of pilgrims. Occasionally, high officials or their families from the Capital City would visit to offer incense and pray.
Moreover, at the temple, both rich and poor had the right to visit. And only in the temple did almost everyone’s heart lean towards goodness.
So Wu Chuniang would go there every few days to sell her embroidery or offer incense, lying in wait.
