After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Sure enough, the next day at court, the Minister of Personnel was impeached by the censors to the point of being utterly ashamed and speechless, wishing he could dig a hole in the Golden Palace and bury himself.

Finally, the emperor was so angry that he directly suspended the Minister of Personnel from his post.

Take care of your household first, then you can attend court.

Qin Xiang was also impeached, but he tearfully told the emperor that he was the victim.

Marquis Changping also cried out in court for his daughter's innocence, pleading with the emperor to seek justice for her.

The emperor was also annoyed; the scandal had become common knowledge. In the end, he told them to resolve it themselves, or else they shouldn't come to court.

The group then stopped arguing.

The Emperor really wants to dismiss them all; look at the things they've done!

Yesterday, someone reported that it was yet another "spectacular," licentious, and utterly absurd scene!

The emperor found them all unbearable to look at and adjourned the court session early.

As soon as the court session ended, Gu Siyuan rushed to the Regent's Palace and made a scene.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law~ Big news~ Big news!"

Murong Xiao had just finished his morning exercise and was wiping his arms with a towel, ignoring the kid.

Gu Siyuan ran to Murong Xiao's courtyard, "Uncle, yesterday..."

Mo Xi interrupted Gu Siyuan, "If you're referring to what happened at Minister Li's residence yesterday, our master already knew about it yesterday."

Gu Siyuan stood dumbfounded at the courtyard gate.

After responding, he stepped forward and exclaimed, "You guys, you went yesterday? You didn't invite me again, making me miss such a wonderful show!"

Murong Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Mo Xi explained, "Young Master Gu, we didn't go to the Li residence. We sent someone there, and they informed us of the situation when they returned yesterday."

Gu Siyuan paused for a moment after hearing Mo Xi's words, scratched the back of his head, and said "Oh." Then he excitedly shared the conversations he had overheard along the way, "You have no idea how lively the discussion is outside. Do you know what the people are saying about what happened at the Li residence yesterday?"

"Debauchery is rampant; the Li residence is practically a brothel. Maids and servants are embracing each other, turning a birthday banquet into a beastly feast. It's truly an eye-opener, an eye-opener indeed! Haha~, Uncle, do you think the Li residence was really that despicable yesterday?"

Murong Xiao shook his head, thinking of the report from the person who returned yesterday. The truth was even uglier than they had described. Fortunately, the woman was smart enough to escape unscathed.

"Don't spread these morally corrupt and indecent things. Have you finished your homework for today?"

Gu Siyuan felt a little guilty when he heard about homework. "I already practiced swordsmanship and spearmanship twice this morning."

"What about military strategy and calligraphy?" Murong Xiao asked again.

Gu Siyuan paused for a moment, somewhat evasive, and chuckled twice. "Um, after I finished practicing my martial arts, I heard the servants at home talking about the Li Minister's residence. I got excited and came to tell you. I'll write it down when I get back, I'll write it down when I get back."

Murong Xiao finished his tea. "Write it here. Since you've chosen the path of military service, you not only need to have excellent skills, but more importantly, you need to have extraordinary courage, strategy, and tactics, and be able to plan and strategize from a strategic perspective. Think about your father; he suffered so much because he wasn't very literate."

Gu Siyuan thought to himself, "I understand the logic, but I just can't get into it! I'm face-blind when it comes to books; they recognize me, but I don't remember them!"

Murong Xiao could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he had someone prepare a stack of paper and pens, as well as several books on military strategy, and put them on the table.

Then he said to Gu Siyuan, "Since you can't concentrate on reading, just write it down and read it aloud. Consider it calligraphy practice."

As the saying goes, a bad pen is worse than a good memory. Write it down, read it aloud, and look at it every day to form a conditioned reflex. When you see it, the memory will come to you immediately, and it will be hard not to remember it.

After saying that, Murong Xiao went to take a bath and change his clothes, leaving Gu Siyuan to face the stack of papers in front of him.

Gu Siyuan sighed and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue writing.

But when Murong Xiao finished washing up and came out, Gu Siyuan only wrote two words: "Military Strategy"!

Murong Xiao closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed. "Pick up the book, open it, and read the contents aloud."

He then instructed his servants to prepare tea and snacks and bring them up.

And so the following scene unfolded: a handsome man with a face like jade was sipping tea and eating pastries while glancing at the dashing young man reading aloud beside him—a truly heartwarming picture of fatherly love and filial piety!

In contrast, the Right Prime Minister's residence was in complete chaos.

I don't know what Li Shi, Qin Mingzhu, and those two spoiled brats talked about.

The next day, they told Prime Minister Qin that they did not agree to Chen Ying becoming the second wife in the mansion, and that at most they could bring her in as a concubine.

Those two spoiled brats, relying on the old woman's favor, also made a fuss with her, urging her not to let Prime Minister Qin marry Chen Ying.

It's impossible to go back on something that's already been agreed upon. She's a young lady from a noble family, not some commoner.

After two days, both Prime Minister Qin and the old woman were extremely agitated.

The atmosphere at the Right Prime Minister's residence became chaotic, and everyone served him with utmost care.

Finally, Prime Minister Qin warned Li that if she did not agree, then Chen Ying would become the first wife, and she would no longer be the wife of the Right Prime Minister.

When Li paid her respects, the old woman launched into a tirade, cursing that she had married such a wicked woman who not only failed to help the Qin family have more children but also wanted to leave Prime Minister Qin all alone.

Qin Wanyou didn't join in the fun; their commotion gave her some peace and quiet.

After thinking about it for two days, I finally decided to go to Huguo Temple.

The next day, when I paid my respects to the old woman, I mentioned to her the matter of going to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings and fulfill my vow.

The old woman, feeling uneasy about the recent disturbances in the mansion, agreed to Qin Wanyou's request.

After the court session, Qin Wanyou told Prime Minister Qin about her trip to Huguo Temple, and Prime Minister Qin naturally did not stop her.

As for whether Li Shi agreed or not, Qin Wanyou hadn't even considered her opinion.

So when Li calmed down after being warned and started thinking about what happened that day, and wanted to find Qin Wanyou, Qin Wanyou was already on her way to Huguo Temple.

This infuriated Li Shi even more.

Qin Wanyou spent the entire journey thinking about how to bring up the matter of the flood with Master Yun.

Saying it directly is definitely not an option; I'd just be seen as crazy.

Or perhaps the master will see through something and he might be taken in as a monster.

After resting for a night, Qin Wanyou did her morning prayers with the monks in the temple. After paying respects to the statues, she asked the abbot, Master Yun, if he was in the temple, as she had something to ask him.

After the abbot announced that Master Yun had given his permission, Qin Wanyou followed the young monk to pay her respects to the master.

"Qin Wanyou has come to pay her respects to the master!" After entering the room, Qin Wanyou bowed deeply to the master.

Qin Wanyou greatly respected the master, not only because he had saved her before, but also because the Great Yan Dynasty had enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests over the years, and the people had been able to take precautions against adverse weather conditions and avoid harm. His contributions were indispensable.

Master Liaoyun, without opening his eyes, said, “No need for formalities, please sit down. May I ask what you wish to clarify?”

After Qin Wanyou bent down, she didn't sit down but went straight to the point, "Master, I've been having the same dream for a while now. Is it some kind of omen?"

Liaoyun twirled the prayer beads in his hand. "What happened in my dream?"

Qin Wanyou truthfully reported, "Not long after, the Yanjiang River basin of the Great Yan Dynasty suffered a once-in-a-century flood, causing people to be displaced and cholera to break out. Refugees poured into the capital of Yan, and there was a great deal of wailing and suffering among the people."

After recounting the dream, he paused for a moment, then said, "Please enlighten me, Master."

Master Liaoyun spun the prayer beads in his hand faster and faster, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Qin Wanyou.

Qin Wanyou felt a little flustered after being glared at by the master, but she quickly calmed down.

After a long while, Master Liaoyun opened his eyes again. "I will treat matters of dreams with care. You need not worry too much. Live as you please."

After talking with Master Yun, Qin Wanyou came out and saw a person standing under the tree in the courtyard.

After realizing that someone had come out behind him, the man turned around and looked at Qin Wanyou.

Qin Wanyou was surprised to see the person in front of her. "It's you?"
