Chapter 556 Jing Xuan's Noble Status

Before Qi Yunran could speak, Aunt Liu said, "That's right! My Dacheng also said he would only marry one wife, and my old man praised him for being responsible! Now my wife is pampered by him like a treasure, and she has given birth to three big, healthy boys for Pei Jiasheng!"

Qi Yunran smiled gently: "Then Auntie will be very happy!"

"It's all thanks to you, Yunran! We, the people of Peixin Village, will always remember you!"

Qi Yunran said shyly, "Not at all, I have to thank the village chief and the village head for helping me manage the businesses here all these years!"

“Yunran, you’re being too polite. Every brick and tile in Peixin Village was built by everyone’s own hands. We all treat it as our own home, so there’s no need for thanks or anything like that.”

A hint of shame flashed across Qi Yunran's face: "It was all Yunran's fault for saying the wrong thing. I apologize to Aunt Liu! Please don't hold it against Yunran, Aunt Liu?"

"No way! It's no big deal! But why didn't Jingxuan and that... come back this time?"

They didn't want to ask, but since they hadn't seen each other for many years, they still wanted to know how they were doing!
Did you make things difficult for her?

Seeing their concern for her, Qi Yunran felt a warmth in her heart: "Jingxuan has become successful now, inherited his father's business, and settled down in the capital!"

"His father?"

"It's that young master Lou who came here back then!"

"When the imperial edict said Jingxuan was the crown prince, we thought it was just someone with the same name. We never expected him to actually be the crown prince? What about Huang Cuicui?"

"Huang Cuicui was posthumously honored as a concubine by the emperor, and her remains were moved to the royal cemetery."

"Ah... Jingxuan's status is so precious! It was all our fault back then. We should have brought Jingxuan back. He suffered so much because of us! That old bastard of ours even extorted twenty taels of silver from Yunran. I still feel guilty about it!"

"It's a little sad," said Aunt Wu, Huang Cuicui's mother.

Neither of the two Aunt Lius said anything. This one didn't know how to comfort her either!
If they hadn't severed ties with Jingxuan back then, they would already be relatives of the emperor by now.

However, given how they treated Jingxuan back then, the fact that Jingxuan, now the Crown Prince, hasn't pursued the Huang family's crimes is already the greatest fortune.

Seeing their silence, Qi Yunran immediately said, "We can't call Jingxuan by his name now; he's the Emperor now."

"The Emperor?" the aunties exclaimed in surprise!
Because there were so many people talking at once, it didn't attract anyone's attention!
"Yes! Jingxuan's father passed the throne to him when he was seriously ill."

Aunt Liu from the village chief's house sighed, "What a life! The child who was looked down upon by everyone in the village is now someone everyone looks up to, and he's even earned his mother a new status! He's truly remarkable!"

Suddenly, Aunt Liu, who drove the oxcart, asked, "During these past few years when you went to the capital, did your parents-in-law make things difficult for you?"

Qi Yunran thought of Pei Wangshi and Pei Hongyuan, whom she had never met in the capital.

However, through the Eye of Illusion, I saw that he was controlled by Zhutian and could not reveal Pei Yuanjun's background.

Finally, her husband threatened Pei Shuya's life to force her to tell the truth, but she died immediately and became a dried-up corpse.

Over the years, Pei Shuya was severely beaten by her husband, and eventually, after her parents died...

Pei Yuanjun had someone hand over the evidence of her husband's crimes to Magistrate Liang, who then imprisoned him in the imperial jail for life!

Pei Shuya was finally able to catch her breath.

Finally, Pei Yuanjun's men took her to a clinic for treatment. After she recovered, they asked her what she wanted. In the end, she only wanted to find an honest man to marry!
Pei Yuanjun's people fulfilled her request and found a wealthy family to marry her off.
