"Without reason, you ruin a person's reputation, and you still say you're not a scoundrel!"
"I..."
Han Mo was speechless, truly wondering if this woman was out of her mind.
"Your wounds need dressing. Here is the wound-healing medicine prepared for you! Hurry up and tidy yourself, then come out for dinner!"
Indeed, women and petty people are hard to deal with. Han Mo was too lazy to argue with her.
This woman was a time bomb. It would be best to let her recover quickly and then find an opportunity to get rid of her.
"You..."
Seeing Han Mo about to leave, the woman hesitated, as if wanting to say something more.
"What? Don't tell me you're reluctant to see me go?"
Han Mo said playfully.
"Rogue!"
"I say, besides 'scoundrel' and 'rogue,' can't you say anything else? Just let the poor 'rogue' off the hook. He only had a few more children with his ugly wife, what does Song Yu have to do with it?"
"Because Song Yu was handsome, you believed his lies. With one 'Dong Tu Zi Hao Se Fu,' he was cursed as a lecher for thousands of years! Have some decency!"
Han Mo rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. These two phrases were almost her catchphrases.
"Pfft—"
Seeing Han Mo so agitated, the woman couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Can't you smile more? You have such a beautiful face, yet you insist on keeping a straight face every day!"
Han Mo muttered as he walked away.
After he left, looking at the pack of wound-healing medicine on the table, the woman's gaze finally softened.
"Second Brother, look at what they made today!"
As soon as Han Mo took out the food from the food container, Chun Tao ran in, holding something in her hand and showing it to Han Mo.
"Not bad, not bad! This is already considered top-grade!"
Han Mo broke off a small piece and tasted it.
That's right, it was filled with the sweetness of cane sugar.
"Really?"
The little girl spoke, looking at Han Mo with full expectation.
She looked exactly like a child who had done something good and was waiting for praise from her parents.
"How could it be fake? As expected of the skillful little Chun Tao, you learned it all just by watching me a few times!"
"How am I little..."
To Han Mo's surprise, Chun Tao mumbled with a blush.
"Hahahaha, alright, alright, you're not little, okay!"
Han Mo spoke while glancing at Chun Tao's developing body.
It seemed there were indeed some curves starting to show, but soon he remembered the woman in the room.
She was so thin, what did she eat to grow like this...
"Second Brother, you're bullying me!" Chun Tao pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, about to cry.
"I..."
Han Mo was speechless, what was happening...
"I'm not! I was just joking! Alright, what I brought back today is all good stuff. If it cools down too much, it won't taste as good!"
Han Mo said, pulling Chun Tao towards the outer room.
"I'll go call Sister Cai Wei to eat!"
Her hand held by Han Mo, Chun Tao's face instantly flushed. Although she felt a little sweetness in her heart, she still broke free from his hand and ran towards the inner room.
Han Mo was quite speechless about the relationship between women.
In just a few days, they were already calling each other sister.
It seemed he had underestimated this woman. Unbeknownst to him, she had already become so close to Chun Tao.
After dinner, Han Mo picked up the books prepared by Han Jiayan again.
As it got late into the night, Han Mo consciously made a makeshift bed on the floor and honestly got into bed.
The two of them had reached a certain level of understanding, and surprisingly, they didn't bicker again.
Han Mo also knew that outside the residence, there were almost entirely secret agents from the Kaifeng Prefecture.
Therefore, at this moment, they were all in the same boat.
How to get this girl out of here was truly giving Han Mo a headache.
"If I take you into the city, do you have a way to escape?"
After pondering for a long time, Han Mo suddenly asked.
"The Imperial City Department's spies will surely be looking for me. I cannot be injured, otherwise, it might cause many complications!"
In the darkness, Cai Wei said softly.
"Then you should recuperate here. However, I need to attend the Imperial Academy tomorrow. You must be careful at home! I have a feeling that there might be spies in this residence..."
Han Mo hesitated, then said.
"Okay!"
The opening of the Imperial Academy was truly a grand occasion.
After a set of complicated rituals to worship the sage, even Han Mo felt a bit dizzy.
To Han Mo's surprise, he saw a familiar face in the crowd!
"Brother Han, what are you looking at?"
Seeing Han Mo lost in thought, a student standing next to him asked in a low voice.
Looking at that familiar face, Han Mo quickly recalled the information about this person.
Chen Dong, courtesy name Shaoyang.
He was one of Han Mo's few fellow students in the Imperial Academy. This young man was two years older than Han Mo, and although he was only twenty this year, he called Han Mo "Brother Han" every day.
Although it was just a casual greeting, Han Mo always suspected that this fellow was pretending to be younger.
"Brother Shaoyang, look, anyone can enter the Imperial Academy now!"
Han Mo smiled and then pointed at Cai Shu in the crowd.
"Is that young master Cai, son of Minister Cai?"
As expected, this Chen Dong fellow was more familiar with people than Han Mo.
"That's right, it truly shows that having connections in the court makes official careers easier!"
Cai Shu was notoriously ignorant in Bianliang City, yet even such a good-for-nothing could enter the Imperial Academy.
Moreover, the robe this fellow was wearing was that of a student in the upper dormitory, which truly made Han Mo indignant.
It seemed that Cai Jing had also gotten wind of something and spared no effort in using his connections to get his grandson in this time.
It looked like this year's imperial examinations were going to be very interesting!
"Hmph, a person who knows nothing, yet directly entered the upper dormitory. The court is truly dark and hopeless!"
Seeing such blatant cheating, Chen Dong also said dismissively.
However, hearing him say that, Han Mo's face also flushed. Compared to Cai Shu, he didn't seem much better...
"Where is Han Mo?"
Just then, an official wearing a green robe walked in.
"Han Mo is here! May I ask who you are, sir?"
Having not been here for several months, Han Mo was a bit unfamiliar with this person and didn't know who he was.
"I am the new Supervising Scholar of the Imperial Academy, Qin Hui Zhi. By special decree from His Majesty, Han Mo's literary talent is astounding, and he is specially permitted to enter the upper dormitory to study! You will follow me to the upper dormitory shortly!"
"Yes!"
When Chen Dong heard this news, his jaw almost dropped. This was too unbelievable!
Astounding literary talent?
Han Mo?
Why not say this kid is a reincarnation of the Poet Immortal!
