After paying respects to the gods of the East, it's time to pay respects to the gods of the West; Zhu Wencong's Western daughters-in-law were many, and their faith was very difficult to change.
Maria and Zhu Wencong stood at the entrance of the church, one a non-believer, the other non-Protestant; Su Yanqiao was quite curious and went over to take a look.
People of this era were still quite feudal and superstitious; if the East emphasized practicality, then the West was the epitome of loyalty.
It could also be that Westerners had committed too many bad deeds, thus they needed God's forgiveness, after all, one can become a Buddha on the spot by laying down the butcher's knife.
Zhu Wencong took Maria to the neighboring yard where a large number of orphans were sheltered, their families having been destroyed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
