This villain has become a ghost

If now wasn't a good time to reminisce about the past, Nangong Wanqing really wanted to pull Yue Liuyun aside to chat for three days and three nights, and then ask her what had happened in all this time.

...But in the final analysis, she and Shen Yue wanted to ask the same question.

It’s just… it’s hard to express these words clearly at the moment, so Yue Liuyun thought for a moment and said:

"Let's talk business first. For example, why are you here?"

Yue Liuyun saw that there was some fatigue that could not be hidden under her eyebrows and dark circles under her eyes, so he knew that she must not have had enough rest during this period.

I don’t know what she is doing now, and what Shen Yue’s purpose is in looking for her.

Nangong Wanqing said: "Oh, to be honest, I actually live here."

This place is secluded and has beautiful scenery. It was originally her residence, and she also brought the five girls here.

This place is not far from the Gold and Silver Platform, so a secret passage was specially built that leads directly here to facilitate the transmission of information.

It's just that she was busy with other things and couldn't spare time, so she asked Xia Ruzhi to protect them temporarily.

Nangong Wanqing sighed, rubbed his temples, and said:

"I've been secretly dealing with the Chiyu people for a while now, and I've had to learn seven or eight of their languages. Now my language system is almost in disarray, and I'm exhausted..."

Perhaps because they were from the same world and were both girls, Nangong Wanqing always felt friendly and relaxed when facing Yue Liuyun, and couldn't help but want to confide in her.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yue Liuyun was deeply moved. He held Nangong Wanqing's hands tightly and said sincerely, "Don't be afraid, comrade. You are not alone. To achieve the goal of great rejuvenation and fight for our cause, the organization and the people will always support you..."

At least now, they will fight side by side.

Nangong Wanqing chuckled.

...I have that feeling of being of good origin.

She shook her hand back and said, "Thank you for the praise, comrade. I will definitely live up to the expectations of the organization and the people!"

Xia Ruozhi: “…”

Shen Yue: "..."

Who knows what they are doing.

Yue Liuyun looked up and saw that it was getting late. The birthday banquet at the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion should be almost over. She had come here secretly and it was not advisable for her to stay here for long. She had to return to the General's Mansion.

Shen Yue also realized this, stood up, smiled, and said solemnly: "The goal has been achieved. Miss Yue is now lurking in General Qiming's mansion. If you have anything important to say, please contact us through today's channels."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess knows a great deal about the Chiyu people. Her Royal Highness the Virtuous Consort has all sorts of weapons. General Qisha, Marquis Wu'an and I will do our best to protect your safety. If you need it, Miss Yue can seek our help."

"I don't think we need to say much about the scientific examination. Miss Yue knows her limits."

"I am waiting for good news from Miss Yue."

Yue Liuyun nodded, and then bowed to the few people seriously, which expressed both farewell and deep gratitude.

...With their help, many things would be much easier, and she would not be as isolated and helpless as when she first came back.

She has companions.

-

Wu'anhou Mansion.

The female members of the family still could not accept Miss Tan's proposal.

Qiu Sinian even stood up and publicly refuted her, mocking her, "Everyone knows that Miss Tan isn't proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but it turns out she's actually interested in becoming an official. But... with your mediocre knowledge, how can you compare to someone who has studied hard for decades?"

Hearing this, Miss Tan's face flushed with anger, and she said righteously:

"Ms. Qiu, since you don't fully understand what I mean, please don't refute me yet."

"What I mean is, we women can follow the same path as men. Why do they study so hard for decades? Because before the new decree issued by Your Majesty, only men could take the imperial examinations!"

"If women can enjoy the same treatment as men, who says we will definitely lose to them?"

Qiu Sinian snorted coldly and said, "You're just showing off your quick wit. If you have such thoughts, why don't you just join the government?"

"Who said I won't go?" She wouldn't normally argue with a noblewoman like Qiu Sinian, but today she was truly enraged and accidentally told the truth, shouting, "I, Tan Tinghe, swear here that I will definitely have a place in this year's imperial examination!"

Qiu Sinian narrowed his eyes, sneered and said, "What if there is none?"

At this moment, Song Zhiyi's cold and steady voice suddenly sounded, and he said solemnly: "Enough."

She just stood there, quietly, but with a natural sense of majesty, as if her slender back was standing in a high position of decisiveness and killing, which made people feel awe involuntarily.

Qiu Sinian stopped talking.

Song Zhiyi spoke slowly and seriously, "I admire Miss Tan very much. You can rest assured. From now on, all women participating in the imperial examination will be protected by me and other generals. I wish you all the best in your examination."

"And everyone, I understand your worries and fears. If you don't want to... that's fine."

"It's just... I hope you can seriously consider what the two ladies, Consort Xian and Consort Shu, and Miss Tan, said today, and not treat them as jokes."

"Today is my birthday banquet, and I have invited you all here with no intention of causing any displeasure. I would like to express my gratitude to you all once again."

After saying that, everyone bowed again and said polite words, but they were worried in their hearts.

What happened today could not leave them without any waves in their hearts, and it also left a certain mark, but... but it was still too difficult for them.

Seeing that no one responded except Tan Tinghe, Qiu Shuangwan shook her head in disappointment.

Luo Tong smiled slightly and whispered in his ear:

"In fact, our goal has been achieved."

Traditional concepts cannot be changed overnight; they must be approached gradually. It is impossible to make them completely take a different path simply by empty talk.

We must let them know the emperor and the court’s attitude towards women entering officialdom, and let them know that someone will be the pioneer.

These can all become seeds, planted in their hearts, slowly taking root and sprouting, and one day they will become towering trees.

It just needs an opportunity.

This scientific expedition is the opportunity.

-

the other side.

In just one day, he experienced too much moon and clouds, and came out of the gold and silver platform in a dignified manner.

The group of killers' eyes darkened, and after looking at each other, they followed her silently.

Nangong Wanqing was a little worried, so she held a knife in her hand and followed the group of killers quietly without making any noise.

Feng Ning was holding a sword. He was slightly startled when he saw Nangong Wanqing, then he quickly hid and followed Nangong Wanqing silently in the dark.

…It seems to be a story about one person, but in fact it can be used to play several mahjong tables.
