After rebirth, I became a national teacher

After sending away Zheng Yuannai who had not yet figured out the situation, Huiyun returned to the East Garden Zen Room to report to Chen Qingzhu.

"Master, Censor Yuan looked at his granddaughter's face and ran away without saying anything."

Huiyun knew that the abbot attached great importance to Censor Yuan. When she saw Censor Yuan coming with her today and when he brought Madam Yuan and her grandchildren here just now, he leaned over to her ear and told her about this matter.

Chen Qingzhu was also a little surprised that Censor Yuan would come in person.

However, since he is here, we certainly can't let him come in vain.

Therefore, it was clear that he could still cure Mo Niang in one stick of incense as usual. Chen Qingzhu directly exerted the full speed of the second level of Qi Refining and completed the entire treatment process in just half a moment.

"Ran?"

Chen Qingzhu was a little surprised.

Thinking of what happened just now, Huiyun couldn't help laughing: "Yes, he ran very fast, just like there was a dog chasing him."

Chen Qingzhu immediately understood.

Her red lips lifted slightly, and her eyes, as deep and cold as a spring under the moon, were full of confidence and assurance.

"Let him run away now. He will come back sooner or later."

Old Madam Yuan was somewhat puzzled by her husband's behavior.

But she didn't intend to make a fuss about it, since she had just said goodbye to Taoist Huiyun in a polite and considerate manner.

On the way back, all her attention was on her granddaughter's face. From time to time, she couldn't help but look at her granddaughter's face which had returned to normal. The more she looked, the more she smiled.

"Oh, Grandma, please stop looking!"

Mo Niang felt shy when she was staring at her and could not help but cover her face with a handkerchief.

Seeing that her granddaughter, who had always been shy and timid, had actually started to behave like a little girl and dared to act coquettishly with her, Old Lady Yuan was extremely happy.

"My mother Mo is so beautiful, she is simply the most beautiful girl in the world! Let grandma see what's wrong!"

Mo Niang recalled the stunning glimpse she had just taken of the abbot of Cihang Temple and could not help but say:

"Grandma, please don't praise me like that. It makes people laugh."

What she said was nothing. If she were to say, the one who could truly be called the most beautiful young lady in the world was the temple owner.

She had never thought that someone could be so beautiful.

More importantly, she is so powerful and possesses mysterious strength that everyone who comes to Cihang Temple has to bow down and worship her with the utmost respect.

Even her grandmother, who was once the wife of the Prime Minister, was afraid of offending her.

She had never seen a woman who could be so awe-inspiring just by herself.

Now back in the car, the joy of having the birthmark removed gradually subsided, and all she could think about was the beauty, mystery, and majesty she had just seen in that stunning glimpse.

Recalling the Taoist priests I saw today at Cihang Temple, they were women but they were not afraid to receive male and female pilgrims, and they were not afraid of people snatching so many precious offerings placed in the main hall.

She couldn't help but think that with the protection of such a powerful master, it was no wonder that they could live so peacefully in the Taoist temple in the mountains.

At this moment she even had an absurd idea.

If her grandparents had passed away and were reluctant to let her go with them, she might go to Cihang Temple to become a Taoist nun.

This way you no longer have to worry about getting married, nor do you have to worry about living alone.

However, Mo Niang was timid by nature and would never dare to express such a rebellious idea.

This thought only flashed through my mind and was immediately suppressed.

Old Madam Yuan just thought she was being modest and shy, but she had no idea that she had such wild thoughts in her mind.

The family happily returned to the Imperial Censorate, and then heard the servant report:

"Sir, the Imperial Envoy has sent me a letter saying that he will visit you at the Supervisory Office tomorrow."

Censor Yuan frowned slightly.

He could probably guess what the imperial envoy wanted to see him about.

But the other party represented the emperor, so how could he refuse?

Sure enough, early the next morning, the imperial envoy arrived at the Supervisory Office and said in front of everyone that His Majesty had always admired his talents, was very happy to receive his memorial this time, and hoped that he would return to the court.

Censor Yuan refused without much hesitation on the grounds of his advanced age.

Even so, the status of Yuan Yushi's family in the southern capital city has changed significantly since then.

No one regarded him as a criminal rejected by His Majesty anymore, and instead they began to respect the outgoing Prime Minister again.

The noble ladies in the southern capital city sent invitations to Madam Yuan, inviting her to attend their own banquets.

The gate of the Censorate, which had usually been deserted, suddenly became lively.

For the sake of Mo Niang's marriage, Old Lady Yuan did not care about these people's previous flattery and immediately took Mo Niang to attend the banquet of the wives of officials in Southern Capital.

So, within two days, all the noble ladies in the entire southern capital knew about it.

Censor Yuan has a granddaughter who is almost nineteen years old and is still unmarried. She is gentle, well-educated and sensible.

It was only because of the disease on his face that the marriage was delayed.

Now the symptoms on her face have been cured and she looks no worse.

With a grandfather who was a former prime minister and a father who was a magistrate in the local government, Mo Niang's background was quite impressive.

Although no one was interested in Mo Niang at first, many people immediately came to propose marriage to her.

However, because Mo Niang was timid, most of the families who came to propose marriage to her proposed her to the second son or the youngest son, who were the legitimate sons and could not inherit the family business.

Old Madam Yuan was very dissatisfied.

She had been an official's wife all her life, so how could she not know how complicated the relationships were in these large and populous families.

If her daughter Mo Niang marries into a family like this, she will definitely be bullied easily.

After much thought, she still felt that she shouldn't attach too much importance to family background.

As long as young people have talent, good character and temperament, their family background is not important at all.

Just like when she married Censor Yuan, Censor Yuan was still a commoner.

Although she had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom over the years, compared with those wives of officials who were heartbroken by their husbands, she actually did not have that many troubles in her life.

So, Old Madam Yuan began to ask people to find out about those poor students for her.

While Old Madam Yuan was busy making friends for her granddaughter's marriage, the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion finally received news from the capital.

Before this, everyone in the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion was confined in the mansion, with their eyes and ears completely shut.

Tongzhi Yan kept a very strict watch on the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion. They tried every way to bribe the guards outside, but they never succeeded once.

There is no other reason.

Tongzhi Yan ordered that if the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion tried to take advantage of the situation to bribe them, the money could be accepted, but the convenience would never be allowed.

Therefore, every bribery from the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion ended up being a waste of effort.

People in the Bo's house couldn't leave, and people outside couldn't come in.

After being imprisoned for more than ten days, Pei Xiao still couldn't figure out whether it was the person behind the Cihang Temple, or someone else who used the name of Cihang Temple to deal with him.

They had no idea what was going on in the court, and why they had not received any news before receiving the imperial edict.

It would be fine if it was just a lack of information.

Pei Xiao had never experienced such an embarrassing life in his life.

Once the order of confinement was issued, they became criminals and had to be under the supervision of local authorities.

On the day of confinement, when he saw Yan Tongzhi, he anticipated that the days ahead might be difficult.

But he still didn't expect that as a first-rank marquis, he would actually experience such humiliation!
