After rebirth, I became a national teacher

After all, all this is still speculation and there is no 100% certainty.

She didn't want Mo Niang to go to Cihang Temple with her with high hopes, only to return disappointed in the end.

To be on the safe side, Old Madam Yuan decided to be thick-skinned and go to the Yan residence again to let Madam Yan confirm it in person.

Mrs. Yan was a little surprised to learn that Mrs. Yuan was coming to visit.

After all, Censor Yuan is a minister abandoned by His Majesty, so it is not advisable for everyone to have too much contact with him.

The Yuan family is also quite self-conscious. They have been living in seclusion over the years and have not taken the initiative to contact the families of other officials.

Apart from the last time when she inquired about the miracle doctor, Old Madam Yan came once, and the two families have had no further contact since then.

Why is it here again now?

Mrs. Yan didn't expect that not only did Mrs. Yuan come, but she was also very embarrassed.

Without exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the point:

"Madam Yan, I heard that your son's face was actually healed by the abbot of Cihang Temple. Is this true?"

The two were sitting together drinking tea.

When Mrs. Yan heard this, she almost dropped her teacup.

Seeing her reaction so big, Old Madam Yuan was slightly surprised.

It seems there is no need to ask, it is absolutely true.

After a while, Mrs. Yan calmed down and asked:

"Where did you hear this, old lady?"

Could it be that one of the servants in the mansion was not careful with his lips and let the news leak out?

Old Madam Yuan explained the whole story, and Madam Yan sighed.

They were really on guard, but they didn't expect that there was a hunter nearby who witnessed everything.

What should I do now? Old Madam Yuan has come to visit me and she must want me to be the introducer.

But her family had paid a great price to accumulate favors with the abbot, and she really didn't want to use them on Censor Yuan.

You can't blame her for being realistic.

Although Censor Yuan was once the Prime Minister, he has now lost his power.

Among his descendants, there was only one illegitimate son, who did not have much success in officialdom.

Although Censor Yuan is talented, he is nearly 70 years old and only has a few years left to live.

Not to mention whether he could be re-employed by His Majesty, even if he could, he would only be able to enjoy his glory for a few years. Moreover, Censor Yuan was not willing to bow to His Majesty at all.

It can be said that the Yuan family has completely declined.

"Old Madam, please don't blame me for not telling you the truth last time. This is because there are rules in Cihang Temple. This kind of thing cannot be easily spread to outsiders."

Old Madam Yuan was very surprised:

"This temple master has such great medical skills, but he doesn't want to become famous?"

Seeing that she still regarded the abbot as an ordinary doctor, Madam Yan felt that it was necessary to explain to her the abbot's abilities.

Otherwise, if Old Madam Yuan came to the door relying on her status as an official's wife and forced the master to take action, upon asking, it would turn out that there was something going on with her Yan family.

Then their family would immediately follow in the footsteps of the Qin family last time.

Her family doesn't have as much money as the Qin family to atone for their sins.

"Madam, this is not some kind of medical skill. The abbot is a divine messenger who was enlightened by the True Man Cihang and possesses divine power!"

Old Madam Yuan couldn't help but frown.

Why does this sound so weird, like what a charlatan said?

But Madam Yan is not a foolish woman.

And the awe on her face didn't seem fake.

But the next moment, she didn't think so.

"Old Madam, do you know that the abbot removed the scar on my son's face in just one stick of incense? He only placed two fingers on my son's face and did nothing else, and the scar fell off on its own!"

Old Madam Yuan was dumbfounded. How could there be such an incredible thing in this world!

At this point, there was no need for Mrs. Yan to lie to her about such details.

In other words, the master of the temple is indeed an extraordinary person.

She couldn't help but get excited:

"Then can the birthmark on my wife Mo's face be cured?"

Madam Yan nodded:

"Master Huiyun once said that the master of the temple has a hundred diseases and injuries, and all of them can be cured in an instant."

Such divine power can be said to be able to change one's destiny.

Old Madam Yuan finally understood why Cihang Temple had a rule that information should not be passed on to outsiders easily.

Then she realized that it would definitely not be easy to get the temple master to take action.

"Then...how did Madam Yan ask the temple master to take action?"

This matter was not a secret, and Madam Yan did not hide it from her:

"The Cihang Temple stipulates that if the temple master wants to take action, he must be recommended by a devout believer. At that time, we found another devout believer to recommend us."

She didn't say it was the Qin family. Her family had already cheated the Qin family once last time, so how could they sell them out a second time?

He then added:

"However, this also depends on the person's status in front of the temple master. Recommendation is one thing, and whether the temple master gives face to the recommender is another matter."

As expected by Madam Yan, Madam Yuan pleaded:

"Madam Yan, you should have heard about my daughter Mo Niang's story. That child is really pitiful. Could you please introduce her to someone else?"

The Yan family was able to support Cihang Temple to such an extent in the last case, so they must be devout believers.

After all, she was the former wife of the Prime Minister, so it was not easy for Mrs. Yan to refuse openly.

"Since the old lady has asked me to do so, I will have no choice but to give it a try."

"However, I cannot guarantee whether the master is willing to give me this favor."

Old Madam Yuan was very sensible:

"That's natural!"

The two agreed to go to Cihang Temple together tomorrow, and once they were sure that the abbot agreed to help, they would take Mo Niang with them next time.

Old Madam Yuan didn't know that as soon as she left, Madam Yan sent someone to Cihang Temple to pass on the message:

Tomorrow she will bring Old Madam Yuan from the Censor's family. The master of the temple must not agree to her recommendation!

There's nothing wrong with belittling yourself, the key is not to waste your hard-earned favor!

*

When Huiyun received the message from the Yan family, she was a little confused at first.

She suddenly understood, remembering what the abbot had said recently that the fourth pilgrim would be arriving soon.

I'm afraid that the family of Censor Yuan is the fourth pilgrim they have carefully planned.

Thinking of the powerful enemy, the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion, she roughly understood what the master of the temple wanted to do.

Thinking of the character of Prime Minister Yuan whom she had heard about when she was in the capital, she felt that the temple master's plan might not be so easy to implement this time.

After a little thought, she felt it was necessary to remind the master.

She conveyed Madam Yan's instructions and said:

"Does the master want Censor Yuan to impeach Marquis Jingnan in front of the emperor?"

Chen Qingzhu did not deny it.

Since Zhang has already handed the evidence to the door, it would not be enough to just make the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion lose some money and reputation.

She had already planned a retreat and was prepared to have Marquis Jingnan stripped of his title.

That is the loss that would truly make Pei Xiao heartbroken!

"Master, you don't know that Censor Yuan has not been involved in government affairs for many years. It would be very difficult to get him to go against his will and wade into the muddy waters of the court again."

"If you have no desires, you will be strong. This former Prime Minister Yuan is a tough guy that even the emperor cannot make him yield. I'm afraid others can't even think of ordering him around easily."

This other person refers to you, the master of the view.

Chen Qingzhu raised her red lips slightly, and said with a firm tone:

"Don't worry, once a fish enters my net, it won't escape."

It is generally impossible for a person to be truly free of desire. Even if he does not have it, the people around him do.

As long as the people around him have a strong enough desire, they will definitely try their best to make him be driven by her.

The emperor might not understand Censor Yuan better than he did as he had been sleeping with Censor Yuan for decades.

She had already made arrangements to block all of Old Madam Yuan's escape routes, allowing her to see great hope but unable to reach it. She could only beg her with the utmost sincerity.

Of course, if you miscalculate and get slapped in the face...

That's also possible.

But she has a backup option.

Speaking of strong desire, who could have a stronger desire for her intermittent method than those eunuchs who had been cut off from their roots?

The garrison commander of the Imperial Household Department was also a good candidate to report Pei Xiao.
