After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Old Madam Yuan said:

"Of course I'm going to think of a way to solve Mo Niang's problem."

"Have you found any reliable young people?"

At this point, Old Madam Yuan sneered:

"With our family in this state, there won't be any promising young men willing to marry our Lady Mo."

Censor Yuan sighed, stood up and prepared to go to the study.

Whenever talking about Mo Niang's marriage, my wife would always blame him for being too stubborn and not willing to give in to His Majesty.

But Your Majesty is not a wise ruler and does not support his reform measures. If he were to give in and admit his mistakes, he would be letting down the Queen Mother's kindness.

"You stop!"

Mrs. Yuan shouted.

"I went out this time and found a master who can heal Mo Niang's face. However, it is not easy to ask a master to help. I need your help."

As he spoke, he recounted the abilities of the abbot of Cihang Temple, the rules of Cihang Temple, the grudge between Cihang Temple and Marquis Jingnan, and also talked about the idea proposed by the Qin family.

After hearing all this, Censor Yuan frowned, his eyes full of coldness:

"What kind of hidden master is this? He is a messenger of God, but he is just a narrow-minded and greedy villain!"

"Just looking at their indifferent referral system and the recognition of devout believers, they want to squeeze every pilgrim who comes to their door and suck their marrow out of them! If you want me to be used by them, you're dreaming!"

Censor Yuan has been active in the officialdom for decades, and has fought battles of wits and courage with countless treacherous officials. He is naturally not short of political tactics and has his own persistence. How could he be willing to be manipulated by others?

After hearing what Old Madam Yuan said, he became extremely disgusted with Cihang Temple's practices.

Madam Yuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, before she understood why he reacted so strongly.

I couldn't help but sneer:

"Why would you give us such astonishing divine power for free? Just because you, a stubborn old man, have such a big face?"

Then, with a bit of sadness,

"Even if the master wants to suck my marrow out of my bones, I am willing to do it as long as it can heal Mo Niang's face. But now, even if I offer my old bones, it is far from enough. I can only come to you for help."

"For the sake of our daughter's only child's lifelong happiness, please temporarily put aside your pride and persistence, okay?"

She looked at him imploringly.

Censor Yuan flicked his sleeves and turned around:

"I will never be manipulated by such a treacherous villain!"

A heart full of grief and indignation suddenly surged into Old Madam Yuan's heart because of this ruthless rejection:

"Yan Tongzhi is not as high-ranking as you, but he is willing to take the risk of offending the Marquis of Jingnan Mansion for the sake of protecting his family. He is prepared for a rainy day and still loves his family to this extent."

"What about you? This is about Mo Niang's lifelong happiness. The only hope is right before your eyes, yet you are so heartless that you stand by and watch!"

"What use are you? In these years, apart from your official reputation and your ambitions, what have you done for this family?"

"If I hadn't followed you into exile in Lingnan, and hadn't suffered a miscarriage due to the long journey, how could I have been childless and had to watch you take a concubine and give birth to a bastard?"

"If our daughter hadn't been so frightened by your imprisonment, she wouldn't have died of long-term illness and worry!"

Every word hit the aging heart of Censor Yuan accurately.

He and his wife have been childhood sweethearts and have been married for decades.

When he was still a poor scholar from a farming family and hadn't even passed the imperial examination, she promised to spend her life with him and resolutely married him.

He swore that she would be his only wife in this life and he would never let her down. When he became rich, he would make sure she lived a good life.

But for decades of ups and downs in his official career, she had always followed him, suffered hardships, lived in fear, and wandered around.

He couldn't even keep his oath of never betraying someone.

Ten years ago, the emperor and the empress dowager were fighting, and the empress dowager was completely defeated. He was imprisoned as the leader of the empress's party, and caused their only daughter to die of worry.

He really feels sorry for his wife.

Censor Yuan fled in panic.

Old Madam Yuan choked up:

"The earth has buried us up to our necks. How many more years can we protect Mo Niang? Please lend me a helping hand, okay?"
