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

"The Li family father and daughter have an unknown background and are not a good match. You must not be deceived by Li Ruoyan's beauty."

Qin Shaoyan: "Huh? Who is Li Ruoyan?"

Qin Shaoyu: "..."

Qin Shaoyu saw no youthful infatuation in Qin Shaoyan's face, only bewilderment.

It's clear that Qin Shaoyu not only didn't like Li Ruoyan, but he also didn't know her at all.

Qin Shaoyu: "You don't recognize the woman who's been hanging around you all the time lately?"

Qin Shaoyan shook his head: "I don't recognize him. Isn't he a stranger I often run into?"

Qin Shaoyu: "..."

Qin Shaoyu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Li Ruoyan was confident in her beauty and thought that all men would like her. Little did she expect to meet such a blockhead as Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyu reached out and patted Qin Shaoyan on the shoulder: "Well done."

Li Ruoyan was very unhappy when she realized that Qin Shaoyan was not attracted to her, so she decided to find another target.

She set her sights on the county magistrate's youngest son.

The magistrate had three sons, of whom the youngest was the legitimate heir.

The first two were illegitimate sons, and Li Ruoyan felt they were not good enough for her.

Li Ruoyan was very successful this time; not every man dares to be as "wooden" as Qin Shaoyan.

In fact, Qin Shaoyan wasn't wooden; he simply had someone else in his heart.

Qin Shaoyu was glad that Li Ruoyan had changed her target, but although he had come up with many harmful ideas to help the Third Prince in order to seek revenge, he was not a ruthless person at heart.

He has a bottom line.

Qin Shaoyu would not shift his own troubles onto others, nor would he allow others to suffer the same fate as him, with their families destroyed and lives lost.

Moreover, even though he had successfully taken revenge in his previous life, Qin Shaoyu still didn't want Li Ruoyan and her father to have a good time.

Qin Shaoyu wrote a warning letter, clarifying the identities of Li Ruoyan and her father, and the briber delivered the letter to the county government.

The county magistrate didn't pay much attention to the letter from the stranger and casually tossed it aside, where it was seen by his eldest son.

The eldest son noticed that the letter mentioned the younger son, and his heart stirred slightly; he wanted to see what it said.

Ideally, it should be dirt on the youngest son.

Then, the eldest son, his eyes wide open, rushed into the county magistrate's study.

He is now both afraid and happy.

This is a good opportunity to deal with the third brother, but if this matter is not handled well, his whole family will also suffer.

Not only will they be unlucky, but their whole family might end up being sent to the execution ground.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful?" the county magistrate scolded his eldest son.

The eldest son is usually a very steady person, so what's wrong with him now?
Eldest son: "Dad, something terrible has happened. My little brother is going to kill our whole family."

The county magistrate said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the third son harm the whole family?"

He knew that the eldest son and the illegitimate son didn't get along, but the eldest son couldn't just come up with such an outrageous reason to suppress the younger son.

Eldest son: "No, Father, it's true. My younger brother has gotten himself into trouble."

As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to the county magistrate.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, the magistrate's pupils contracted, and he said, "Go and summon your third brother to see me."

"Yes." The eldest son immediately went to fetch someone.

A short while later, the youngest son entered the study, and the county magistrate learned about Li Ruoyan from him.

In order to seduce her youngest son, Li Ruoyan dressed up every day to be more beautiful than the young ladies of wealthy families in the county, which exposed many of her unusual traits.

How could a hunter's daughter be more delicate than a rich girl?

How could a hunter's daughter wear jewelry more valuable than that of a rich girl?

How could a hunter's daughter possibly be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?
Without even conducting a personal investigation, the county magistrate could tell that Li Ruoyan was no ordinary person. The letter must be true; Li Ruoyan was the daughter of the rebellious Prince Yu.

The county magistrate dared not conceal the matter and reported it to higher authorities.

The incident involving Prince Yu had only been over for less than two years, and the emperor still attached great importance to it.

The officials dared not neglect the matter and immediately reported it to the emperor.

The emperor immediately dispatched men to Banshan Village to arrest Li Ruoyan and her father.

The Crown Prince also learned of this news. Although he was thinking of Li Ruoyan, he dared not make a move.

Li Ruoyan has already come into the emperor's sights. If he intervenes to save Li Ruoyan, the emperor will definitely be even more dissatisfied with him.

If the emperor were to link him to Prince Yu's plot to rebel and depose him as crown prince, no one would dare to speak up for him.

Meanwhile, Li Ruoyan and her companion were unaware that the emperor had sent men to arrest them.

The magistrate's youngest son was suddenly imprisoned by the magistrate, and Li Ruoyan could no longer see her youngest son.

Unaware that their identities had been exposed, the two only assumed that the county magistrate was unhappy that his son was in love with a hunter's daughter.

Li Ruoyan was very upset. If Prince Ruoyu's rebellion succeeded, she would be a princess. How could the son of a mere county magistrate be worthy of her?
Prince Yu did not rebel; she was the prince's daughter, and the magistrate's son was not a good match for her.

The result is now...

There was nothing that could be done about the magistrate's son, so Li Ruoyan had no choice but to change her target again.

This time, she chose the son of a scholar who had passed the imperial examination.

The scholar's son was Qin Shaoyu's brother-in-law.

Qin Shaoyu: "..."

Qin Shaoyu told his brother-in-law that Li Ruoyan had previously tried to seduce Qin Shaoyan and the county magistrate's son, but failed, so she changed her target.

Unfortunately, the brother-in-law was already captivated by Li Ruoyan's beauty and didn't care about what she had done before; he was determined to marry her.

But the brother-in-law has parents.

Qin Shaoyu's parents-in-law would not approve of Li Ruoyan's behavior; their family would resolutely not allow such a vixen to enter the house.

No matter how much the brother-in-law made a fuss, the parents-in-law refused to go to the Li family to propose marriage, and even locked up the brother-in-law.

Li Ruoyan, who suffered another crushing defeat: "..."

Why is everything so unsuccessful for her?

While Li Ruoyan and her father were trying to find another sucker to marry, Qin Shaoyu secretly sneaked into their home when no one was there and slipped a map he had drawn into a hidden compartment of Li Ruoyan's jewelry box.

That's where Li Ruoyan hid her silver notes.

Li Ruoyan always took the banknotes from the top layer and never noticed that there was an extra piece of paper underneath.

The emperor's men finally arrived and arrested Li Ruoyan and her father.

The two never expected their identities to be exposed.

Knowing he was doomed, Li's father committed suicide.

Li Ruoyan was afraid of death, but as a woman and the concubine of Prince Yu, she didn't know much, so the emperor didn't kill her but instead made her a courtesan.

She was quite popular because she was pretty.

The crown prince also secretly came to see her twice.

With the Crown Prince's patronage, she lived a fairly good life in the brothel, at least she could choose her own customers.

The emperor's men discovered a hidden compartment in Li Ruoyan's jewelry box and found silver notes inside.

These silver notes were naturally a bargain for them.

When they were distributing the silver notes, they discovered the map.

The map is of the nearby mountains and forests, and it marks the location of the gold mine.

The leader was both surprised and overjoyed, and immediately led his men to locate the gold mine according to the map to confirm whether there was any gold ore there. (End of Chapter)
