"That's right, miss. Now that the whole city knows that you have a conflict with him, he won't be able to wear small shoes for you." Lan'er said with bright eyes.
Mu Qianyu touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience: "But he might sue me openly..."
"Ah? What should we do?"
"I can only ask the Prime Minister for this." Mu Qianyu said with some embarrassment.
On the other side, after Cai Shilang came out of the restaurant, he went straight to the home of the Minister of Civil Affairs, intending to complain, but what turned out to be a retainer of the Prime Minister's Mansion waiting for him there.
No one knows what these people said in Shangshu Mansion. They only know that when Cai Shilang came out, his face was three points darker than the bottom of the pot.
Cai Dayan was waiting outside the door. When he saw Cai Shilang, he helped him into the carriage and asked: "Uncle, what did the Master say?"
Cai Shilang began to look directly at Cai Dayan, his eyes widening as he looked, and finally slapped him across the face: "Asshole! You know who that person is and you offend him?!"
Cai Dayan was stunned. He covered his face and asked confusedly: "No... isn't it just a small country coming to take the exam?"
"How come our Cai family has a useless thing like you!" Cai Shilang was so angry that his hands were shaking.
"What other background does she have?"
"You have such a huge background, you bastard!" Cai Shilang kicked him again angrily and said, "What about now? Not only do I have to be beaten, but I also have to do things for others. If this matter spreads out, my old face will still...
Do you want it?"
"Still want you to do something? How big of a backer does she have?!"
"Shut up. I'll tell your father when I get back. If you go out and fool around again and take advantage of my power, I'll break your legs!"
Hearing this, Cai Dayan said with an aggrieved face: "But uncle, it was me who was bullied this time. What kind of beating did I get?"
"Whoever made you inferior in skills to others deserves it."
Cai Dayan felt that these words seemed familiar and made him want to vomit blood.
"You have been allowed to practice since you were a child, and all the resources at home have been provided for you. As a result, you have grown such a burly figure in vain. You can't even beat a girl. You are simply a waste." Cai Shilang said in confusion.
If Cai Dayan hadn't been so thick-skinned that he actually vomited blood, his cultivation level would have been pretty good among his peers. He had been greatly praised for passing the martial arts exam two days ago. How could he become a waste?
That girl is obviously a pervert, okay? Who would have thought that a little girl could have such terrifying explosive power?
"What are you looking at? Get out of here and go back to your house. Kneel down and go to the ancestral hall to think about your mistakes." Cai Shilang became angrier as he thought about it, and kicked him again.
Cai Shilang's strength was weak, but he still kicked Cai Dayan off the carriage.
Cai Dayan rolled out of the car, still confused. When did his uncle become so powerful?
This is a main street, and many people on the roadside looked surprised when they saw Cai Dayan.
"Whatever you are looking at, get out of here." Cai Dayan became angry and yelled at passers-by.
Mu Qianyu knew that Ji Lin would take care of the mess for him, so he went back to his house without any worries, thanked the guests behind closed doors, and stayed with his daughter all day long.
The events of that day spread throughout the city, and public opinion was divided into two groups. One group believed that Cai Dayan was used to his rampant behavior, so he should meet someone like Mu Qianyu who could correct him.
The other school says that Mu Qianyu relies on his talent and is arrogant and has no understanding of the world. No matter how talented he is, he will not be able to go far.
When these words reached Mu Qianyu's ears through Lan'er, she was half-lying by the stove, eating a honey-cold candied orange in a relaxed posture.
"Miss, they went too far. It was clearly Cai Dayan who took the initiative to provoke us, so why do they say it's your fault?" Lan'er said angrily.
Mu Qianyu just put a piece of orange in his mouth and looked at her in surprise: "How can this say anything bad about me?"
"You didn't hear me. I said you were arrogant because of your talent."
"Isn't that a good thing to say?" Mu Qianyu said after eating the orange, "It's the same as being rich and being beautiful is awesome."
Once Lan'er accepted this setting, she thought about it and said, "It sounds good."
"So, this Daxuan Chao looks good to me. At least the people here are discerning." Mu Qianyu stretched out his hand and said, "Tea."
Lan'er felt that something was not right, but she couldn't say it, but she didn't expect to follow her lady's thoughts and go to the charcoal stove to get warm tea.
Mu Qianyu put the tea cup to his mouth, and just as he was about to drink, he felt a pain in his meridians.
"Cough cough cough..." She immediately coughed uncontrollably.
"Miss, are you feeling better from the cold?" Lan'er quickly stretched out her hand to pat her back, and when she lowered her head, she saw the blood spreading in the teacup.
Her eyes widened immediately.
"Don't say anything, it's just a small matter." Mu Qianyu stopped her in a low voice before she spoke.
Tears fell from Lan'er's mouth as soon as she opened her mouth, and she sobbed softly: "Miss, what's going on? Are you not a monk? Why is this still happening?"
Mu Qianyu wiped the blood from his lips, slowly covered the teacup, and after taking a few breaths, he said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor illness and it can be easily cured."
Although Lan'er is young and naive, she is not stupid. She knows how easy it is for practitioners to cure diseases. Such problems that cannot be cured must be difficult to solve.
She wanted to ask more, but the servant's voice sounded outside: "Master, the Prime Minister wants to see you."
"Invite him in." Mu Qianyu said, shaking his head at Lan'er.
Lan'er then wiped her tears and silently took the tea cup to change the tea.
Ji Lin, the old man in white clothes and white beard, also looks like a fairy.
"Junior has met Senior Mu." Ji Lin bowed and saluted as he entered the door.
Mu Qianyu stood up to greet him and said, "Your junior master is not here either, so these etiquettes can be dispensed with."
"That's too disrespectful, senior, just get used to it."
Mu Qianyu found this difficult to explain, so he asked him to sit down and asked, "What's the matter with the Prime Minister's visit?"
"Senior like this, the candidates for assignment initially drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel have been selected and sent to me. Senior, please take a look." Ji Lin said and handed a golden folder to Mu Qianyu.
Mu Qianyu shook his head and said, "I won't read it anymore. Just tell me where my position is."
"This junior has asked Mr. Cai to raise your official position, so everyone else is a seventh-rank official, and you are a fifth-rank official." Ji Lin put away the folder in his hand as he spoke.
Mu Qianyu rolled his eyes and said, "Does that mean that not only did Mr. Cai not cheat me, but he also opened a back door for me in this matter? Then he must be so angry?"
"That's not necessarily the case. People who have been officials for decades are not so easy to handle. He seems to have opened a back door for you, but in fact he has tricked you in the office in charge." Ji Lin said.
