"Hyah!"
On the streets of Chang 'an City, Wu Meiniang's lips were flaming red as she galloped towards the Martial House.
After her review, she found that Wu Yuanshuang's sudden intervention in her consort selection was the most suspicious. From her understanding of Wu Yuanshuang, he wouldn't have dared to provoke her if there was no one to instigate him. Thinking about it, that person must have colluded with Wu Yuanshuang to scheme against her.
"Dong!"
Wu Meiniang kicked open the door of the Martial House and rushed in again.
"Second Miss, please calm down. The Grand Duke really isn't home." The Martial House's housekeeper pleaded. Wu Meiniang had come to their door twice in a few days. The Martial House had lost a lot of face, but since they were in the wrong, they couldn't do anything to Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang sneered and said, "I'm not looking for that coward today, I'm looking for you."
The Martial House's housekeeper knelt on the ground and said, "Second Miss, please spare my life. This lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and drove Second Miss out of the Martial House. However, I was forced to do so under the orders of the Grand Young Master. Miss, please spare this lowly one's life!"
"If you want me to spare your life, then tell me. Who is the person who colluded with Wu Yuanshuang to frame me?" Wu Meiniang went straight to the point.
The Martial House's housekeeper panicked and quickly denied, "Who is it? The Martial House hasn't had any visitors recently."
Wu Meiniang sneered and said, "So you want to take the blame for Wu Yuanshuang? You know my temper. If Meiniang can't vent her anger, then the Martial House will never have a peaceful day." Wu Meiniang sneered.
Wu Meiniang knew that the Martial House's housekeeper was Wu Yuanshuang's confidant. Anyone who came to the Martial House couldn't hide it from the housekeeper. He must know the truth.
The Martial House's housekeeper couldn't help but sigh. He naturally knew the consequences of angering Wu Meiniang. She wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal. After all, Wu Yuanshuang couldn't hide forever. If he didn't hand over a scapegoat, this matter wouldn't be settled.
"It's Senior Yin-yang Zi. He's the one who deceived the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master did it out of good intentions." The Martial House's housekeeper hurriedly confessed and conveniently cleared the Wu Family's name. The Ziqian Family had a cold nature, so they naturally wouldn't be willing to take the blame for someone else.
"Yin-yang Zi of the Yin-yang School!" Wu Meiniang was shocked and said in disbelief. She never thought that it would be Yin-yang Zi, the current generation of the Yin-yang school, who would plot against her. No wonder she didn't even have the strength to fight back.
"That's right, it's Yin-yang Zi. Otherwise, why would the Martial House take the initiative to provoke the Young Miss?" The Martial House housekeeper bitterly smiled.
"Where is Yin-yang Zi now?" Wu Meiniang asked.
The Martial House steward shook his head, "Senior Yin-yang Zi appears and disappears unpredictably. It has always been Senior Yin-yang Zi who has taken the initiative to contact the Martial House. I don't know where he is."
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but frown. Chang 'an City had a large population, and there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going. It would be extremely difficult to find a stranger in the vast Chang' an City.
Wu Meiniang carefully asked about Yin-yang Zi's appearance and dressing. She suddenly had an idea. Yin-yang Zi was used to using the Taoist school as a cover. Others might not be able to find him, but there was one person who could. It just so happened that she had a debt to collect.
"Taoist Changsheng, congratulations on making a fortune!"
In the Xuandu Temple, along with a teasing congratulatory voice, Wu Meiniang appeared in front of Changsheng with her strange hair.
"So it's Mei Niang. Let's make a fortune together, let's make a fortune together!" Taoist Changsheng awkwardly put away the account book and stood up enthusiastically.
Wu Meiniang sat to the side angrily and said, "Taoist Changsheng is too impatient. Aren't you roasting Mei Niang on the fire?"
Taoist Changsheng hurriedly comforted her and said, "Mei Niang, don't blame me. I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the new secret hair dyeing technique. After all, 20% of your shares are in it."
Taoist Changsheng knew that he was wrong and hurriedly explained.
Wu Meiniang waved her hand dispiritedly and said, "You're always making a fortune. Mei Niang didn't hit the fox and got herself into trouble. The 20% of the shares have been taken away by Master and donated to the Red Cross. Now I'm being targeted by the Yin-Yang School."
"The Yin-Yang School? Even the Yin-Yang School has come out of hiding! " Taoist Changsheng was shocked. He didn't expect the Yin-Yang School to come out of hiding. However, it was reasonable. Now that the Tang dynasty had many schools of thought contending, the Yin-Yang School, which had been lurking, was naturally unwilling to be left out.
Wu Meiniang complained to Taoist Changsheng, "However, Mei Niang got into trouble this time because of the Yin-Yang School's current generation, Yin-yang Zi. Mei Niang finally got out of it, but Yin-yang Zi used a prophecy to kill her. Martial Uncle, you have to stand up for Mei Niang!"
Taoist Changsheng suddenly exclaimed, "The Yin-Yang School!"
Originally, he didn't think much of the prophecy, but when he heard that it was the work of Yin-yang Zi, his hair stood on end. As the leader of the Taoist School of External Alchemy, he was very familiar with Yin-yang Zi's methods. The past generations of Yin-yang Zi were all masters of stirring up storms.
"That's right! If I'm not wrong, this prophecy is the work of Yin-yang Zi. His purpose is to deal with Mei Niang on the surface, but in fact, his intention is to deal with the Mo Family, "Wu Meiniang said frankly.
Daoist Priest Changsheng nodded. Although the Great Tang was more liberal, the status of women had not changed much. Even when the Princess of Nanping was married without paying her respects to her parents-in-law, Wang Gui had fiercely opposed it. In the end, he had still obediently compromised.
The real change in the status of women was reflected in the Mo Family Village. First, Meton married Princess Changle, changing the marriage law of the Tang dynasty. Then, there was a prenuptial agreement for the women of the Mo Family who insisted on monogamy. Coupled with the economic independence of the Mo Family, women's status greatly increased.
Once this practice spread throughout the Tang dynasty, the Mo Family would be the first to bear the brunt of any trouble in the future. This was simply treating the Mo Family as a target.
"Most of the Yin-yang School of Taoism live in seclusion. I have some influence in the Taoist School. As long as Yin-yang Zi hides in the Taoist temple, we can definitely find him," Taoist Changsheng said.
He agreed to help because he felt guilty towards Wu Meiniang. Secondly, the Taoist School of External Alchemy had a close relationship with the Mo Family. Naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to the Mo Family.
Taoist Changsheng did have a lot of connections in the Taoist School. Soon, he found a foreign Taoist who was temporarily living in the Cuihua Palace in Chang 'an, and his appearance was quite similar to Yin-yang Zi.
However, when Wu Meiniang brought people to the Cuihua Palace, there was nothing. Yin-yang Zi had already bid farewell to the Cuihua Palace half a day ago. Obviously, he had already predicted Wu Meiniang's next move.
Outside the Cuihua Palace, a kind-looking old man looked at Wu Meiniang, who came out of the Cuihua Palace in exasperation. He couldn't help but smile. In this world, Mo Jiazi was not the only one who could reverse Yin and Yang. The Yin-yang School of Taoism was even better. Before the Yin-yang School of Taoism was exposed, he could do whatever he wanted. Now that he had released the prophecy of prosperity, the Yin-yang School of Taoism was exposed, and he had to reverse Yin and Yang and hide himself in the dark.
When the prophecy slowly fermented to a certain time, it would be his chance to take action. Of course, this opportunity might take a long time, maybe a year or two, or even ten years. However, the Yin-yang School of Taoism could wait forever, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for a fatal blow to its prey. This was the horror of the Yin-yang School of Taoism.
