?Chapter 402: Chapter 401: Making Preparations 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.”

Chen Afu was so taken aback that his hair stood on end, asking, “My father won’t get into trouble, will he?”

Chu Lingxuan held her hand and said, “Don’t worry, there’s a way.”

Chen Afu was filled with anxiety. Leaving aside the matter in Jiangnan, the things that Chen Shiying did have already been problematic enough. She now considers Father Chen Shiying as her own adoptive father and couldn’t bear to see him upset, let alone in trouble. He was still in his thirties, at the prime of life, what would he do if something happened? And what about his family, the loyal Mrs. Jiang, and baby Zhao?
