Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Qin Shaoyu will never see the Crown Prince's family again, even though the Crown Prince is already dead.

However, there were "kind-hearted people" around.

Liu Dong stole Li Ruoyan from the palace and dumped her in front of Qin Shaoyu.

Qin Shaoyu was filled with intense hatred upon seeing his enemy.

Li Ruoyan was terrified when she saw Qin Shaoyu's face, which looked like a demon.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Qin Shaoyu: "I am a demon from hell."

Li Ruoyan screamed in terror.

However, there was no one around, so they wouldn't be attracted by her shouts.

Li Ruoyan and her father truly lived up to their "father-daughter" relationship, as she shifted all the blame onto her father.

“I was forced into it. How could a weak woman like me be a match for a grown man? If I didn’t do as he ordered, I would be dead.”

Qin Shaoyu sneered: "Do you think I would believe a vicious woman who wouldn't even spare her own son?"

Li Ruoyan cried, "I didn't want Yuan'er to die, but I was dragged away. I didn't have the strength to break free, and I couldn't save Yuan'er..."

She looks beautiful when she cries; it's obvious she's practiced.

The Crown Prince was very fond of this approach; every time she cried, the Crown Prince would feel great pity for her.

But in Qin Shaoyu's eyes, who was filled with hatred, her behavior only disgusted him.

Qin Shaoyu gave Li Ruoyan no more chance to argue; he slashed her face with a knife.

Qin Shaoyu did not kill Li Ruoyan, but instead slashed her face more than ten times, completely ruining her beautiful appearance.

Qin Shaoyu turned and left.

If Li Ruoyan hadn't died from excessive bleeding or wound infection, her life would have been miserable with such a disfigured face.

Death was a relief for her; living and suffering was Qin Shaoyu's punishment for Li Ruoyan.

With all his enemies dealt with, Qin Shaoyu did not return to the village.

He remained by the Third Prince's side.

For men, career is the most important thing.

Even if he couldn't pass the imperial examinations and enter officialdom, Qin Shaoyu still wanted to use his talents and have his own career.

If the Third Prince can successfully ascend the throne, he will have the merit of supporting the emperor. Even if he cannot become an official, he can still earn a nominal title.

Qin Shaoyu devised strategies for the Third Prince and learned many of the Third Prince's secrets.

Liu Tong doesn't think highly of Qin Shaoyu.

Those who know too many of their master's secrets don't live long.

Liu Tong did not stay in the capital.

He'd seen too many power struggles and wasn't particularly interested in them.

Before leaving, Liu Tong went to visit Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyan brought his parents to the capital.

Under his parents' arrangement, Qin Shaoyan got married.

She was the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the capital, and was very virtuous.

When she was too virtuous to attend to herself, she would arrange for a maid to serve Qin Shaoyan.

But Qin Shaoyan refused; he was not someone who valued lust.

If Qin Shaoyan has someone he likes, he won't casually look for other women.

For the sake of his family's bloodline and lineage, he would only touch his wife.

Qin Shaoyan respected his wife, but that was all; he didn't love her.

Qin Shaoyan's wife, however, was very satisfied.

She was a rational woman who had no expectations of her husband or love; otherwise, she wouldn't have arranged for her husband to have another woman.

Both of them had their own thoughts, but they lived a fulfilling life.

Qin Shaoyan's wife is pregnant, and their son will be born in three months. Liu Dong gave Qin Shaoyan's unborn child a longevity lock and left the capital.

He did not return to the village immediately, but instead traveled outside.

Liu Dong had visited Green Willow Manor, but he did not reveal his identity, disguising himself as a passing martial arts practitioner.

Liu Dong saw Tang Zexin and his wife.

Their married life was not as blissful as Tang Zexin had imagined.

As the heir to the villa, Tang Zexin has many responsibilities, and his wife also has corresponding duties and needs to handle many matters.

However, Tang Zexin's wife had never learned any housekeeping skills. She longed for the unrestrained life in the martial arts world and disliked the rules of the manor.

Tang Zexin's wife was completely unable to adapt to life as the young mistress of Green Willow Manor, and she was also very stubborn; if she didn't like something, she wouldn't study it.

No matter how Mrs. Tang taught her, she couldn't learn it.

Madam Tang was very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Tang Zexin's disagreements with his wife also grew. Every time he finished dealing with matters that should have been handled by his wife, he would feel regret.

Perhaps I should have listened to my mother and married her best friend's daughter.

That woman was no ordinary village girl; she was said to be extremely skilled in medicine, and if she married into Green Willow Manor, she could become a great asset to the manor.

There is no medicine for regret in the world.

You have to bear the consequences of your own marriage.

In response, Liu Tong said that he was happy to see Tang Zexin not doing well.

He recorded everything about Willow Green Manor and shared it with his older sister when he got home.

Sister Liu is living a good life now, not much different from before she got married.

Without the supervision of her in-laws, her husband was practically nonexistent.

The stepson brought by her husband was a precocious child. Because Sister Liu had saved his life, the child was very close to Sister Liu and very filial to her.

Sister Liu is incredibly lucky to have such a filial son without experiencing the pain of childbirth.

She is very satisfied with her current life.

She was even happier that Qin Shaoyu wasn't coming back.

The family lived happily and peacefully, enjoying the life they loved.

During this time, Liu Dong would occasionally wander around the martial arts world, earning himself the nickname "Young Master Rufeng".

Two years passed, and the struggle for the throne finally came to a conclusion.

The third prince was the ultimate victor.

However, Qin Shaoyu did not get what he wanted.

Just as Liu Dong had predicted, the Third Prince would not allow someone who knew too many of his secrets to live.

The day before the Third Prince ascended the throne, Qin Shaoyu's two other colleagues were sent away with poisoned wine.

Only one strategist sensed the Third Prince's "when the cunning rabbit dies, the good bow is put away" mentality and fled first.

Qin Shaoyu had the antidote pills that Sister Liu had given him, which saved him from being poisoned to death.

However, the Third Prince gave them a secret palace medicine, which was extremely toxic.

The antidote given by Sister Liu can only cure common poisons, not the secret medicine of the palace.

That medicine can only be countered with a specific antidote.

Although Qin Shaoyu did not die immediately, the poison had penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

Qin Shaoyu faked his death and escaped from the capital, returning to his village.

Before he died, his biggest concern was for his son, and he wanted to see him one last time.

As for his wife, he felt sorry for her.

After his death, she could remarry, only hoping that his wife could take care of his son.

Upon seeing Qin Shaoyu, Sister Liu immediately took action, inserting silver needles all over Qin Shaoyu's body.

Sister Liu shook her head regretfully: "You came back too late. If you had come back ten days earlier, I could have helped you expel the poison. Now the poison has penetrated deep into your internal organs and bone marrow." (End of Chapter)
