Gu Fangzi did not expect that he would reveal this matter in front of Mrs. Wang; her face instantly flushed red then turned white, overwhelmed with shame.
Mrs. Wang was indeed shocked, her eyes widening, "Fang'er, is this true? How could this happen, how could this happen!"
In today's society, everyone regards filial piety as more important than heaven itself, and the Imperial Court even has the concept of "selecting filial and incorrupt officials," with "filial" ranking ahead of "incorrupt." Officials must observe filial mourning upon the passing of their parents, and if common folk do not perform filial piety for their parents, they are not tolerated by social customs or laws. Committing such an act during the period of mourning is unforgivable!
