There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
On the other side, after the steward left, Old Madam Yun looked at Old Master Yun curiously and said, "Why is Imperial Censor Zhang coming to see you at this hour? You're not even familiar with him."
Grandpa Yun stroked his beard. "Ninth Brother came back and called Twelfth, Thirteenth, and Little Mumu away."
“I know. Didn’t Jiulang say that Yao’er met a very learned child and wanted to take them to see what a real child prodigy is?”
When Jiulang returned to find Old Master Yun, Old Madam Yun was telling him that Hei Bao was growing up and looked more and more like her mother.
However, when he's being aggressive, he does resemble Old Black quite a bit.
Old Hei never yelled at anyone in front of her, so why does she yell at people just like Old Hei?
Is this what people call the natural bond between father and daughter?
Just as Grandpa Yun was about to say, "Of course! Didn't you see that although Xiao Liu and her father aren't close, they have the same tastes?" Jiu Lang came in.
Grandpa Yun couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Grandma Yun actually believed it. "You really believe it? If Yao'er really met a child prodigy, he would definitely invite him back to introduce him to Xiao Liu, instead of having Jiu Lang take Twelve, Thirteen and Xiao Mu Mu out."
"..." Old Madam Yun thought about it and realized it was true. "Then why did you let Jiulang take Twelve and the others away?"
"Yes, brothers should climb trees together, fight together, and be mischievous together to have a good relationship."
fight?!
Grandma Yun's voice suddenly rose. "They took Twelve, Thirteen, and Little Mumu to find someone to fight? How old are Twelve and the others?"
"...You should find something to do too." Otherwise, you'll be a fool.
Madam Yun glared at Old Master Yun. "What are you talking about, the children? Why are you bringing this up with me? Who did the children go to fight with?"
"He didn't go to fight; he went to Inspector Zhang's house to back up Xiao Liu." Let's stop keeping you in suspense. Who knows what this old woman might think if we keep this up?
"I didn't know what they were going to do at first, but I found out when Censor Zhang arrived. Censor Zhang has probably impeached Xiao Liu."
"Improve Xiao Liu?!" Old Madam Yun was furious upon hearing this. "Improve what Xiao Liu? Xiao Liu isn't an official!"
"Xiao Liu bewitched the Crown Prince."
Madam Yun was even angrier. "Has he lost his mind? Can't he see it's the Crown Prince who's bothering our Sixth Prince?"
"He can't very well say that the Crown Prince is neglecting his duties, can he?"
"...Seeking fame and fortune! If you're so capable, go and impeach the Crown Prince directly."
"The Emperor has only one son."
"...seeking fame and fortune!"
"Hmm. I didn't expect to catch a bunch of tiger cubs."
"Serves him right! Let him use our sixth child to gain fame. Um, when the kids come back, don't scold them."
"Why would I scold them? I'm glad they stood up for Xiao Liu."
Madam Yun was also pleased. However, she asked, "Aren't you afraid people will say our family is abusing its power?"
"Let them say it. In short, we can't start something like this. If we do, won't they blame all the Crown Prince's mistakes on our Sixth Prince? Won't they call our Sixth Prince a vile concubine who brought disaster to the country?"
“Our whole family survived because of Xiao Liu, so we have to put Xiao Liu’s situation first.”
"Let's go eat."
"good."
On the other side, Imperial Censor Zhang heard from the steward that Old Master Yun had drunk some wine and retired early, so he said he wanted to see Grandpa Sisi. Grandpa Sisi was Old Master Yun's eldest son.
The steward didn't know what had happened, but since Old Master Yun had spoken, he naturally wouldn't let Imperial Censor Zhang in. "My master drank with the three gentlemen today, and they're not young anymore; they've probably retired for the night. Why don't you come again tomorrow?"
He wanted to come back tomorrow, but those little wolves were running rampant in his house like bandits, saying they had long heard that his eldest grandson was a child prodigy and had always wanted to discuss academics with him. They also said that they and their brothers were both free today and insisted on seeing his eldest grandson.
His eldest grandson is not a child prodigy. His eldest grandson is just a little bit smarter than other children.
"Could you please go in and ask again for me? If the master is resting, the second or third master will also be fine. I have urgent business."
"All right."
A moment later, the butler returned. "I'm sorry, all three of my masters have retired for the night."
Imperial Censor Zhang understood. What did "resting" mean? They clearly didn't want to see him. How had the Yun family become like this? "Then I'll head back now. Thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all, please."
"good."
After leaving the Yun family, Imperial Censor Zhang thought for a moment and then went to find Wang Yicheng's grandfather. He hoped that Wang Yicheng's grandfather could persuade Sun Xingyao and the others to leave.
Wang Yicheng's grandfather did let him in.
However, after learning what had happened, Wang Yicheng's grandfather immediately said, "Why is your eldest grandson so timid? My grandsons just wanted to discuss academic matters with your eldest grandson, not to have a martial arts competition. What is your eldest grandson afraid of?"
Cheng'er is getting smarter and smarter; she knows how to get closer to him.
“I’m telling you, what you’re doing is wrong. If you keep doing this, how will your eldest grandson be able to support your family in the future?”
"Let me tell you..."
After sharing his educational philosophy with Imperial Censor Zhang, Wang Yicheng's grandfather had the censor sent away. He wasn't about to let his grandson down, as he'd finally had a chance to prove himself.
Imperial Censor Zhang was extremely frustrated!
He just wanted His Highness the Crown Prince to focus on his proper duties, didn't he?
Why is it so difficult?
When Zhang Yushi's wife saw him return, she immediately asked, "How did it go? Did Old Master Yun send someone over?"
"Grandpa Yun didn't see me. What happened to Grandpa Yun? Wasn't he always upright and concerned about the country and its people?"
Madam Zhang hadn't expected Old Master Yun to avoid her. "Perhaps he suffered too much during his exile. I think you need to endure some hardship too, otherwise you won't know who can be a ginseng user and who can't."
"I...I just wanted His Highness to handle more state affairs. His Highness's methods of handling state affairs are better than..."
Before he could finish speaking, Madam Zhang quickly covered his mouth. "Are you looking for death? Don't you know that the Emperor's biggest taboo is that his son is more capable than him even before he's old? You must never interfere in the Emperor and the Crown Prince's affairs again."
"I……"
"What do you mean, 'I'? I don't want to end up like Madam Yun and the others, being exiled. Alright, enough of that. Let's hurry up and think of a way to get rid of those little devils."
"How are we supposed to deliver it? Those little wolves would love to tear our house apart."
"How about we let Yue'er come out and have a competition with them?" Yue'er is the prodigy of their family.
Upon hearing this, Imperial Censor Zhang immediately said, "No! Yue'er is a girl!"
Madam Zhang glared at Imperial Censor Zhang. "What's wrong with girls? Isn't Yun Xiaoliu a girl too?"
“…” Imperial Censor Zhang was speechless.
"I'll go and call Yue'er."
"Yue'er will not agree."
"Yue'er will definitely agree. Yue'er has long wanted to help her family with their problems, just like Yun Xiaoliu."
"..." Not only did Yun Xiaoliu corrupt His Highness the Crown Prince, but he also corrupted his granddaughter. He... he still couldn't do anything about Yun Xiaoliu!
So annoying!
