Chapter 388 : Righteousness
Although the story of the Xu family stuffing their pockets with soldiers’ blood had been widely spread, the Xu family did not admit it. The head of the Xu family came forward to righteously say that their family’s money was all earned from their legitimate business; he even put out the word that malicious slander of their family would definitely get retribution. The Xu family was indeed doing business, and they were very profitable. As to whether it was a legitimate business and they did not enrich themselves, it was unknown. With Qin Zhao acting as their talisman, no one would dare to investigate the Xu family either.
As for the rumours that Xu Shi was living in brocade garments and jade meals and spending her days arrogantly extravagant, she could not admit that it was impossible. The hearsays were true, for example, in the crab feast, when she invited a dozen wives of senior officials to participate. Of course, a dozen women could not have eaten two baskets of more than a hundred crabs. Many of them were given away as favours by Xu Shi.
