Chapter 1219: Chapter 1225: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Face Off (6)
Empress Dowager Mo coldly smiled and said, “You don’t need to preach these grand principles to . If cultivating Buddha is so wonderful, why don’t I see you doing it? If you shaved your head and beca a nun, then I would believe it truly is beneficial!”
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her lips, as if to erase the smile that had inadvertently appeared.
“Imperial Mother, I just said ‘Cultivating Buddha brings great wisdom and a compassionate heart.’ I already possess these in abundance and need not cultivate further. Zhao Yue, on the other hand, lacks exactly these qualities, which is why The Emperor has sent her to stay in the temple for a few years. It’s to temper her nature, develop a calm and quiet deanor, and foster a kind and peaceful heart. When she returns, a good man will be found for her so she can lead a content and peaceful life. Otherwise, with her unruly deanor, she would only cause trouble if left outside. Even if she were to marry into a royal family, she would not live a peaceful life. So, you should let go and just let her stay in the temple obediently!”
Parents often only see the virtues of their children, automatically overlooking their flaws. In their eyes, their children are the best in the world. Thus, when Cai Wei said these words, Empress Dowager Mo beca angry.
“Hmph, I see now. Just because Zhao Yue poisoned you that one ti, you cling to this grudge and it’s impossible for you to let her go. Well then, I won’t waste my words on you. I’ll go to The Emperor and we shall see whose side he takes!”
With that, Empress Dowager Mo stood up, furiously supported by Chen Shangxi’s hand, and left!
…
After Empress Dowager Mo had left, Cai Wei hurriedly changed her clothes. She had arranged to et Xiang Yun in the morning, and it was almost late morning now, which was incredibly frustrating.
Liu Xi had known since yesterday that she was going to leave the palace today, so he had discussed with her about going out together. Ever since his arrival to this world, he had been confined to the palace and had not yet had a chance to see the outside world. Thinking of him as her master in her past life, Cai Wei readily agreed. After changing their clothes, they hurriedly left the palace.
In the carriage, Cai Wei whispered, “Hey, tell about yourself. You’ve been here so long, how have you spent your ti? There hasn’t been a peep from you, and with your abilities, you shouldn’t be stuck in the palace as an obscure young eunuch!”
Liu Xi waved his hand and grimaced, “Ah, don’t ntion it. When I first arrived, this body had just been castrated. Whether the original owner died from the pain, fright, or too much blood loss, I’m not sure, but I was lying in a bloody ss on a broken bed, and I was so shocked I nearly returned to my own world.”
Cai Wei glanced at his crotch, recalling the bloody scene and shivered, wrapping her arms around herself, “Then what happened?”
“Then it was a long period of recuperation. As you know, people here don’t regard eunuchs as human. All my smarts were used to preserve this little life. I lay in bed for several months until I finally healed. No sooner had I recovered than I was assigned to The Prince’s palace. Then I endured the upheaval of The Prince revolting and the whole family being executed. It took all my wits to escape that fate!”
“Ah, it’s really true that different fates befall different people. We both ti-traveled, so why is your experience so good and mine so miserable?” Liu Xi shook his head and sighed, his expression full of sorrow.
Cai Wei patted his shoulder, comforting him, “Don’t be sad. You still have . From now on, I’ll ensure you live a free, wealthy, and prestigious life. Aside from not being able to have intimate relations and children, everything else will be the best!”
Liu Xi looked at her and said self-mockingly, “Using your words, I still can’t even stand up to urinate!”
