Yet the world is unpredictable; even Xu Qing did not foresee that the victim Feng Wu's brother-in-law's family would turn into another "Zhao family."
Feng Wu's brother-in-law has become foolish, but his father-in-law covets others' land and daughters, seeking both for themselves through unscrupulous means.
If this matter were to be exposed, it wouldn't really be a big deal. Oppression is common, is there a House Slave from any prominent family who hasn't done such things?
But Feng Wu harbors another concern: once this matter is handled, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction, revealing many similar issues.
The Xu Family themselves, as well as relatives and friends, would be criticized for every little flaw. Even the incident where Xu Xuanhu caused a House Slave's death would be scrutinized relentlessly.
Xu Qing's journey wasn't spotless either. Though not as repulsive as the Yansheng Gong Mansion, it wasn't without blemishes.
