Chapter 1506: Empress Dowager Mo's Transformation (1)
After not seeing each other for many days, Du Shi was reluctant to let Caiwei go. Caiwei also wanted to see her father and brothers and sisters, so she stayed in the Mu Mansion until her father and brothers and sisters came back.
When Mu Zhongqing was in the Hanlin Academy, he had heard that Caiwei and the emperor had returned, and had rectified the government and dealt with General Li and his followers. Mu Zhongqing was very happy. His son-in-law's kingdom was saved, and his daughter and their family were safe.
He expected that his daughter would come back to visit her parents today. When he came back in the evening, he specially asked someone to find his daughter's confidant Liu Xi. Liu Xi was deeply trusted by his daughter and was the first confidant of a woman. His daughter would be happy to see him.
Liu Xi is now a teacher at the Women's Academy, specializing in teaching Arabic arithmetic to the daughters of various mansions. His teaching method is humorous and witty, completely different from those upright ladies who are full of nonsense. He is deeply loved by the daughters and has become a big celebrity in the Women's Academy and the dream lover of many young ladies who have never seen the world.
Of course, before this, he had already taught Arabic arithmetic to Mu Zhongqing, and according to the emperor's instructions, he said that Mu Zhongqing was the founder of Arabic arithmetic.
Mu Zhongqing was ashamed of receiving rewards without any merit, and resolutely refused the emperor's kindness to appoint him as a third-rank official, but it was not easy to completely reject his son-in-law's filial piety to him, so he had to accept the fifth-rank position of Hanlin Academy Lecturer, specializing in teaching Arabic arithmetic to the children of officials.
Du was also appointed as a fifth-rank Yiren, which was also considered a woman with a title. She could often wear the clothes of a lady of the title to go out and socialize. No matter where she went, even in the prime minister's mansion, she would be sought after and flattered by those ladies. Even the first-rank lady of the country had to look at her face and please her.
Mrs. Du naturally knew why everyone was so respectful and polite to her, so she was low-key and modest, and was careful in her words, fearing that she would do something wrong and smear her daughter and hold her back.
When Liu Xi saw Caiwei, he was very excited, but his mouth was still vicious. While paying homage, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You have been running for so long and there is no news. Did you elope with a man?"
Caiwei was naturally happy to see Liu Xi, and did not take Liu Xi's poisonous tongue to heart. She just whispered: "I heard that you have been a teacher in a women's college recently. How is it? People are in the flowers, but they are powerless. This taste is not good, right?"
Liu Xi's mouth twitched wildly, and he said in a low voice with a dark face: "Can you stop squeezing me with this matter all the time?"
Caiwei nodded and said: "Okay!"
While speaking, a pair of eyes silently stared at his lower body in a trance.
Liu Xi was frightened by being looked at. He looked around with guilty eyes and whispered: "Okay, you are so cruel!" After that, he got up and coaxed Wen'er and Wu'er to go out to play.
Only Mu Zhongqing, Du and Fei'er were left in the room. Mu Zhongqing said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you came back in time. If you came back one day later, the whole family of Liguogong Mansion would be executed. Even if they were saved, I heard that the old Duke's grandfather and grandchildren suffered a lot in prison."
When Fei'er heard this, the handkerchief in her hand tightened, and she looked at Caiwei nervously, wanting to hear from Caiwei that Mo Ziqi was safe.
Caiwei said: "It's true that they suffered a little, but it's not a big deal. They were not injured to the point of being fatal. They will be fine after a few days of rest. The emperor has settled them in the Bishui Pavilion in the palace and sent Yao Yuanpan to treat them. I believe it won't take long for them to recover."
