Gu Kaiyuan really didn't want to listen to these private matters, but since the conversation had reached this point, he felt it was necessary to help clarify things. After all, Xu Zitian was a decent person and a good official who served the people.
"We came from Shangjing, so we know a bit about Lord Xu," Gu Kaiyuan said. "He had long since married in Shangjing, and his wife bore him three sons. It's just that the children are still young, so they didn't follow him to his post."
"Really?" Wu Wei was somewhat skeptical.
"Of course it's true. Logically speaking, even though there aren't many people coming and going through here every year, there should still be some. It's impossible for no news to have trickled in at all."
Wu Wei was left speechless. It was true; everyone only knew that Lord Xu was an honest and upright official, but they didn't seem to know much about his background and origins.
