After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

He said solemnly: "From now on, you will be my Kong Mingxian's last disciple. As your teacher, I do not ask you to become a prime minister or famous throughout the world. I only ask you to always remember that when you are entrusted with a high position and receive a generous salary, you must also be fair and just, and establish your heart for the world and your life for the people!"

His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Bai Youyou's heart was shocked by Confucius' words.

A teacher cultivates the land with virtue and reaps the fruits of the labor.

At this moment, she truly realized what the saying "A teacher is like a lake or a torch, even if small, his influence goes far" meant.

A good teacher can really influence students' lives.

"Disciple will follow the master's teachings!"

Qi Yue's heart was filled with excitement and he responded loudly.

After the last bow, Confucius took his arm and turned into the kind and gentle old man again, "A hundred words are not as good as one action. I have never missed a person, and you are a good child."

He patted Qi Yue's shoulder and said, "If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask your senior brother."

When Master Xu was mentioned by him, he pretended to be a little sour and said, "I have visited you many times but you avoided me. I was wondering why you asked me to come here today. It turned out to be for Junior Brother."

Qi Yue smiled shyly, took a step forward, and bowed solemnly to Master Xu, "Qi Yue greets Senior Brother."

"You don't have to be so polite, Junior Brother."

Lord Xu raised his hand to support him, "Master gave me the name Lingyun, you can just call me by my name."

"Senior Brother Lingyun."

Qi Yue called out respectfully.

Master Kong glanced at the two of them, then looked at Bai Youyou who was smiling beside him, "Your grandmother Kong made her specialty plum cake early in the morning. She was afraid that you wouldn't come today, so she prepared someone to go to your house to invite you."

"is it?"

Bai Youyou was delighted, "Then I'm in for a treat today."

She pulled Mrs. Lu and said, "Mom, didn't you say before that the flower tea made by Grandma Kong is delicious? The flower cakes made by Grandma Kong must be delicious too."

"Girl, I like your clever words the most."

Old Madam Kong was so pleased with her words that she couldn't stop smiling. She hurriedly asked someone to bring the plum cakes she had made in the morning.

Lord Xu was eating a delicious plum blossom cake. While Lu and Yue were talking to the master's wife, and Lord Qi and Qi Yue were surrounding the master, he moved closer to Bai Youyou.

"My little niece, there is something that seems strange to me and I should tell you."

"what's up?"

Bai Youyou ate three pieces of plum cakes and felt thirsty. She picked up the teacup beside her and took a big sip without any image.

She glanced at Xu Lingyun and said, "Uncle Xu, please feel free to speak."

"On the day your third brother died in the Jingzhao Yin dungeon, your uncle and his wife came and said some half-truths. I think they have ulterior motives."

Xu Lingyun has been an official for many years and is extremely sensitive to some micro-expressions.

When Bai Qingyu and his wife said those words that day, they were always paying attention to the expression of Bai Yanlang's concubine. After they finished speaking, the couple looked at each other with a hint of success.

Later, when I went back and thought about it carefully, it was clear that the two of them were trying to sow discord, and their purpose was probably to transfer the hatred of the aunt who had lost her child to Bai Youyou.

He just couldn't understand why they wanted to harm a little girl who had not yet reached adulthood.

"My uncle and his wife?" Bai Youyou frowned slightly. "What did they say?"

Lord Xu said in a succinct manner, "What they probably meant was that if you hadn't ignored our blood relationship and insisted on making things go to this extent, your third brother wouldn't have died."

Bai Youyou also looked puzzled when he heard this.

Why are they doing this?

It seems that there is no conflict of interest or grudge between me and them, right?

What would they gain by provoking Aunt Qiao to hate them?

Seeing that she was frowning, Lord Xu passed on his previous experience to her, "Everything must have a reason. If you can't figure it out for the time being, you can go back and write down the names of the people on a piece of paper, and then write down the relationships between them one by one. Try to figure it out, and maybe you can guess the key."

When he was solving cases or encountering strange cases, he would use this method, and the effect was very good.

Bai Youyou withdrew his thoughts and nodded at him, "Well, thank you Uncle Xu for your advice."

"Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. Before you discover the enemy's true intention, be cautious."

"Well, I know."

Lord Xu really liked this little girl. He gave her a serious reminder, and then said with a smile: "I have a daughter who is about your age. When you come to my house one day, I will let you get to know each other. Maybe you can become close friends."

"Oh Well."

Bai Youyou gave a dry smile.

Uncle Xu probably doesn't know that his daughter and the original owner didn't get along. They looked at each other coldly whenever they met, and they disliked each other.

But since Uncle Xu had helped him several times, she decided to give it a try.

We had lunch at Confucius's house at noon. Except for Lu and Yueying, everyone else was busy.

Master Xu waited for Master Kong and the old lady to put down their bowls and chopsticks, then stood up and said goodbye, "There are many criminals at the end of the year, so I will go back first and come to see you two another day."

"Go ahead, go ahead, remember to be self-disciplined and dedicated, and keep your original heart."

Mr. Kong waved his hand as if in disdain, but Mrs. Kong knew that he cared about this disciple the most.

She asked someone to take out the food box that had been prepared long ago, took the food box from the maid and handed it to Xu Lingyun, "Take this back and let Meng Ling try it too."

"Thank you, Master."

Lord Xu accepted it happily, then bowed deeply again before turning around and leaving.

"Qi Yue stays here, and you all go and do your own things."

After Confucius spoke, everyone said goodbye and left.

Bai Youyou and Lu went to Yunnifang together, then walked around the street. When they returned home, it was already dusk.

"Ring ring ring ring——"

From the second courtyard came strange humming sounds and ringing bells.

Lu frowned, quickened her pace, and followed the source of the sound to the small hall.

In the middle of the small hall, there is an incense table more than ten feet long, and various yellow talismans are pasted on the surrounding walls.

In front of the incense table, a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe was chanting scriptures that no one could understand. He was shaking a bell in his hand, and the shrill "ling ling ling" sound pierced the eardrums.

"What's going on?" Lu asked with a frown.

The little maidservant at the side stepped forward and replied: "Second Madam, this is Taoist Zhang, who was specially invited by the old lady to perform a ritual for the third young master."

"Mom, let's go back."

Most people would perform the ritual of praying for the souls of the dead. Bai Youyou and Lu looked at each other but didn't say much.

After the two of them left, Taoist Zhang, who had been shaking the copper bell, tilted his head and glanced at their backs.
