Quick Travel: Cannon fodder, she always encounters yandere and paranoid people

Chapter 536 A cannon fodder official disguised as a man 16

*

Yun Wu, who had been left in the palace by Xie Ling for breakfast and lunch after the morning court, then returned to the mansion.

During the next court session today, Xie Ling asked Yun Wu to stay to discuss important matters. Yun Wu followed Xie Ling with her head held high despite the jealous look in Minister Liang's eyes.

Humph, she just received more attention than him, just a little bit, she must be so angry with him.

It’s no wonder that Yun Wu behaves like this. In fact, it was Minister Liang who told His Majesty this morning that he wants me to behave appropriately towards women. In the future, I need to wear a veil to cover my face when going out on the street, otherwise it will be too unsightly.

Even if Yun Wudang jumped out to refute him, women are also subjects of our dynasty and His Majesty. Women's lives are already more restricted than men. If she insists on doing this, she may arouse the indignation of women all over the world.

She also suggested that Xie Ling might as well follow the popular rumors. Nowadays, schools in various places have many disadvantages. It is better to relax the restrictions and set up girls' schools starting with girls from high-ranking officials' families.

At that time, all the officials in the court did not think that women could also be selected as officials in the imperial examination, so the opposition was not that loud.

Of course, Shilang Liang didn't deal with his daughter Liang Xiao because of her, so he was the only one who opposed her the most.

In the end, Xie Ling naturally accepted Yun Wu's opinion and scolded Shi Lang Liang.

Yun Wu knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she planned to proceed step by step, starting with the official ladies with family support, so that the construction of the girls' school could be completed step by step.

Xie Ling said that he kept Yunnu in the palace to discuss important matters, but in fact he kept her in the palace to have breakfast and lunch with him.

"There is a new cook in the imperial kitchen who can cook Bianzhou cuisine. I remember that Aiqing was born in Bianzhou, so I specially invited Aiqing to try the Bianzhou cuisine made by the new chef."

This is what Xie Ling said at the time, so Yun Wu stayed to eat.

It wasn't until her stomach was round and full that Yun Wu left the palace and returned to her mansion.

As a result, as soon as I returned, I received an uninvited guest.

Yun Wu looked at the brightly dressed woman who appeared in front of her, and remembered that she was Miss Fang Shiyue whom she had met at General Zuo's Mansion that day.

She lived in a secluded residence, so there were not many people around. The only residence next door seemed to be unoccupied, so Fang Shiyue came directly to find her.

"I've met Lord Yun."

Fang Shiyue's voice was gentle. Behind her were the maid and the Fang family's carriage. Her eyes looked at Yun Wu shyly.

"I wonder what Miss Fang wants from me?"

"About the birthday banquet that day...Thanks for finding the beads on Liang Xiao's sleeves, otherwise I would have believed her words and misunderstood my sister..."

Fang Shiyue said slowly, looking at Yun Wu's handsome and feminine face and couldn't help but blush.

"I came here today specifically to thank you."

After saying that, the maid behind her presented a brocade box, and Qiu Ci stepped forward to take it.

"Master Yun, this is a red glazed tea cup hand-picked by the little girl. I give it to you as a token of gratitude."

"I'm sorry I can't accept this gift."

Yun Wu bowed her hands and Qiu Ci quickly closed the brocade box and handed it back to Fang Shiyue.

Fang Shiyue's shy expression was slightly stagnant, but she spoke first before she could ask Yun Wu.

"It was just a coincidence that I took action that day. There is no need for Miss Fang to come here to thank you. Besides, I am a court official and Miss Fang is the daughter of General Zuo. It would not be appropriate to accept Miss Fang's gift in private, as officials may be bribed by each other. Suspicion..."

Yun Wu's words were very polite and courteous, and Fang Shiyue couldn't fault her, so she had no choice but to give up.

But she didn't forget the purpose of her trip.

"What happened that day was not my fault as a sister. It was just that my sister didn't say anything at the time, which made me misunderstand."

Before leaving, Fang Shiyue looked at Yun Wu with a slightly guilty look and said:

"My father and mother have heard of your distinguished name. If you have time in the future, I would like to see you as a guest at the General's Mansion."

Yun Wu was in no mood, but she still looked polite on the surface. She was not in a hurry to enter the house when Fang Shiyue left in a carriage.

Sure enough, the next second I saw a figure walking out from behind the wall over there.

It's Fang Shiwei.

When she saw that Yun Wu had discovered her, she bit her lower lip hesitantly but still walked over quickly.

"Miss Fang Er."

Yun Wu raised her hands to bow, and Fang Shiwei also quickly leaned over to salute, and then said:

"Just now, did my sister-in-law come to your door to thank you under the pretense that I was slandered that day?"

Seeing Yun Wu nodded, Fang Shiwei said quickly:

"My eldest sister clearly knows what happened that day, but she has always been at odds with me and is on good terms with Liang Xiao, so she allowed Liang Xiao to slander me..."

"I know."

Yun Wu said with a serious look, Fang Shiwei was a little stunned. She came here today because she didn't want to see Lord Yun Wu being deceived by her sister's disguised kindness.

However, Lord Yunwu seemed to know.

"I heard that the second young lady has loved reading since she was a child. I still have some booklets in my study that I read when I was rushing for exams. If the second young lady doesn't mind, just take them away."

Yun Wu said that she knew what Fang Shiyue was thinking was just to clear up the relationship between her and Liang Xiao, so that she felt that she did not slander her concubine, but just listened to others.

But what she didn't know was that Yun Wu was also a woman, so she was naturally keenly aware of her disguise.

After sending Fang Shiwei away, Yun Wu was finally able to go back to the wing and sit down to have a good rest. However, before she could take a breath, she heard the voice of Qiu Ci outside.

"Sir, Master Fu's birthday party will be in two days. My servant has prepared the gifts. Do you want to take a look, sir?"

"No need..."

Yun Wu fell down on the soft and comfortable bed and muttered. With her small salary, it seemed that she couldn't afford any expensive gifts.

That's all, it wouldn't be too embarrassing at all. After all, she came from a poor family. Everyone in the court knew that, and Brother Fu would definitely understand her.

Two days passed quickly, and there was nothing else except that Yun Wu would vaguely see Xie Ling in her dreams at night.

Fu Chunan's birthday party was held in the evening. When night fell, Yun Wu got off the carriage and walked into the Fu family's gate under the guidance of the servant.

She had prepared this carriage in advance. Otherwise, if the Fu family was so far away, she would not be able to ask Fu Chunan to pick her up.

And behind the wall of a dark alley not far from the Fu family's residence, a slender figure loomed.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, how long are we going to hide..."

Li Zhong knelt on the ground tremblingly, and the person standing on his shoulders was clearly the emperor of the dynasty.

He was carefully stepping on Li Zhong and leaning against the wall, and happened to peek through the high wall to see Yun Wu walking into the mansion over there.
