I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle
Chapter 22 It Wasn't Me Who Saved You
When she met Madam Xie, Cui Shuyan explained her purpose directly: "Mother, I want to go to Lingyin Temple to burn incense and make a wish. First, I hope my husband will get better soon. Second, my husband will take the imperial examination soon. I hope he can pass it and bring honor to our family."
Madam Xie hesitated a little: "The Lingyin Temple is on the mountain. To burn incense, you have to walk up hundreds of steps. It's really hard."
"Although it is a bit hard, among all the temples around the capital, only Lingyin Temple is the most effective. For my husband, I am not afraid of the hard work. I also hope that the Buddha can see my sincerity and fulfill my wish."
After that, Cui Shuyan added, "Mother, you don't have to worry about my husband. Now that my husband's injuries have healed, I will ask Luzhu to take good care of him. I have also given instructions to the kitchen to prepare the soup and serve it on time. There will be no problems."
"Since you insist on doing this, I won't stop you. However, since you are going out, it's always good to bring more guards with you."
"Yes, mother." After saying that, Cui Shuyan turned around and was about to leave, but then turned back and bowed slightly to Madam Xie, "Mother, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you."
"No problem, just tell me."
"Mother, Miss Luzhu has been my husband's concubine for three years. I think it's time to give her a proper status."
Madam Xie sighed, "I also want to give Luzhu a status, but Lin Xinrou is so arrogant and domineering that she keeps bullying Shao Hang. I'm afraid if I give Luzhu a status, she will make a scene again."
After all, what Madam Xie was afraid of was not Lin Xinrou, but Xie Shaohang's reaction.
My son has grown up and is no longer as obedient as he was when he was a child. I still have to take him into consideration to avoid hurting the relationship between mother and son.
After finishing her grumble, Madam Xie changed the subject: "However, this is ultimately a matter of your inner courtyard. You are Shaohang's legal wife, and you are in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard. It is naturally you who have the final say in deciding which concubines should be given what status."
To say this is equivalent to giving this hot potato to Cui Shuyan.
Cui Shuyan naturally knew what Madam Xie meant. She nodded as if she didn't notice it and said, "Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will take care of it."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
After she left, Madam Xie waved the exquisite brocade fan in her hand and said to Aunt Rong standing beside her: "Rong'er, tell me, why has Cui Shuyan changed so much recently?"
Rong Madam was Madam Xie's personal maid who had been with her since she was young. Naturally, she didn't have so many concerns when she spoke: "Madam, in my opinion, Madam Cui has made the young lady a little timid. But in the end, the young lady is not stupid. Although she was not liked by the young master when she first came in, she was a little inferior. But since the young master consummated his marriage with her, she seems to have regained her spirit and is willing to take charge of things. In a subtle way, she also has the demeanor of you in your youth."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xie's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
On the other side, Cui Shuyan led four maids, several guards, and Biyu, her personal maid, to Lingyin Temple in the suburbs of the capital.
The Lingyin Temple is built on the top of a mountain and is extremely effective, so people in the capital love to go here to burn incense.
But Cui Shuyan had other intentions.
Her intention was not to burn incense, but to save people.
She remembered clearly that on this day in her previous life, the great scholar Kong Xianwen from the capital city suffered a sudden heart attack when he returned from Lingyin Temple and died on the spot.
When the news spread, the entire capital, and even the scholars of the entire Da Qi, were filled with grief, as if they had lost their parents.
The reason is simple, it is because Kong Xianwen is a man who is devoted to learning and has a peaceful personality. Although he is respected as the emperor's teacher, whenever he meets a scholar, he always teaches them earnestly and patiently.
Whenever he encountered poor students, he would donate generously without exception.
It is precisely because of his noble character that he is sought after by scholars all over the world.
It is precisely because of this that Kong Xianwen’s sudden death caused great grief to scholars all over the world.
Even Xie Shaohang, a heartless man, was depressed for several days because of Kong Xianwen's death and got drunk in front of his portrait.
What Cui Shuyan has to do is to save Kong Xianwen's life.
Because Kong Xianwen was famous, the time of his death was very accurate, which was the end of the Si hour on that day.
Cui Shuyan calculated the time and did not dare to delay. After burning incense, she thought it was about time and started to go down the mountain.
But looking around, there was a bustling crowd of people coming down the mountain, but there was no sign of Kong Xianwen.
She had seen a portrait of Kong Xianwen, so she was very familiar with his appearance.
Not seeing Kong Xianwen, Cui Shuyan couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that because of her rebirth, many things have changed subtly, and Kong Xianwen will not be in trouble today?
For a moment, Cui Shuyan felt unsure.
But this was an opportunity she was unwilling to give up.
Therefore, as she walked down the mountain, she carefully looked at the people coming down from the top of the mountain, hoping to find Kong Xianwen among them.
But after looking for a long time, I found nothing.
Cui Shuyan was a little disappointed, but at this moment, she heard a commotion coming from the crowd in front of her.
During this time, a young boy cried out in sorrow: "Who will save my grandpa? Who will save my grandpa?"
Hearing this, Cui Shuyan immediately lifted her skirt and ran forward.
The young man was in a pavilion on the mountainside. Next to him, lying on the ground, was an old man with gray hair and a thin body. It was Kong Xianwen.
No wonder we didn’t meet him on the road. It turns out that Kong Xianwen was resting here.
Cui Shuyan immediately led her men forward. She first asked the fast guards to go to the mountain to find Master Zhishan, the abbot of Lingyin Temple. Then she ordered the remaining guards and maids to separate the crowd and make room to ensure air circulation.
After she finished doing all this in an orderly manner, she took advantage of the maids and old women not paying attention and pressed hard on an acupuncture point at the base of Kong Xianwen's palm.
The young man next to him was probably Kong Xianwen's grandson. He was extremely anxious. When he saw Cui Shuyan, he seemed to have found his backbone. He kept begging, "Sister, sister, please save my grandfather, please..."
Cui Shuyan said calmly: "Don't worry."
As she spoke, Cui Shuyan used her sleeve to cover her mouth and handed the young man a piece of ginseng.
The young man was smart enough to put the ginseng slice into Kong Xianwen's mouth and let him hold it.
As soon as they finished doing this, the guards arrived with the abbot, Master Zhishan.
Seeing Master Zhishan arriving, Cui Shuyan immediately stepped aside.
Because she knew that although Master Zhishan was a high-ranking Buddhist monk, he also understood medical principles.
With him around, nothing will happen to Kong Xianwen.
Sure enough, Master Zhishan methodically unbuttoned Kong Xianwen's collar and tapped him on the chest several times.
Not long after, Kong Xianwen let out a long sigh and woke up slowly.
When he opened his eyes and saw Master Zhishan, he smiled slightly: "I just finished playing chess with you, and now I see your old face again. Old friend, you saved my life."
Master Zhishan smiled slightly and said, "No, it wasn't me who saved you."
