"I really didn't know what your grandfather and the State Preceptor were whispering about with those people back then," Granny began, "but I know how the Hu Family rose to power."
Facing Hu Ma's inquiry, Granny sighed softly. She seemed to feel sorry for Hu Ma, who had been kneeling, and gently pulled him up to sit on the steps of the ancestral hall.
One hand lightly embraced Little Hongtang, the other patting Hu Ma's palm, she sighed, "Nowadays, everyone says the Hu Family is one of the Ten Surnames, enjoying tremendous wealth and great fame, haha, they even disregard the Emperor."
"But the Hu Family's ancestors were always law-abiding people, and they hardly ever lived as nobility."
