The emperor was overjoyed to hear of the gold mine and immediately dispatched a large number of people to the mountain.

The villagers were all relocated.

Although I left my hometown, it's much better than being forced to mine in my previous life.

To compensate them, the imperial court exempted them from taxes for three years after their relocation.

This time, the crown prince did not obtain the gold mine, but this did not make the emperor more wary or dissatisfied.

The gold mine incident was the catalyst that escalated the conflict between the emperor and the crown prince.

Qin Shaoyu did not involve the Crown Prince in this matter; he left the Crown Prince to cause trouble for the Third Prince.

This is a reward for the Third Prince's past life.

In this life, he will not participate in the struggle for the throne.

But he won't let the Third Prince have an easy time either.

The Third Prince shouldn't think he can easily ascend the throne.

The Tang family came to the Liu family to annul the engagement, and the matter was resolved as easily as in the previous life.

Not long after, Qin Shaoyan and Qin Shaoyu went to Beijing together to participate in a scientific expedition.

Qin Shaoyu was neither disfigured nor crippled, and his talent surpassed that of Qin Shaoyan; therefore, his ranking in the imperial examinations was also higher than Qin Shaoyan's.

Qin Shaoyu was personally selected by the emperor to be the third-ranked scholar.

At the Qionglin Banquet, several princes extended olive branches to him.

Qin Shaoyu pretended to be a bookworm and declined the invitations.

He has only just entered the court, has no background and has not yet shown any ability. The princes have only casually recruited him and do not value him much.

Seeing that he was so clueless that he didn't even understand the invitation, I stopped paying attention to him.

But in reality, Qin Shaoyu sided with the Fourth Prince.

In his previous life, the Fourth Prince was the Third Prince's strongest rival.

If Qin Shaoyu hadn't given the Third Prince a wicked idea—to use the women in the Fourth Prince's harem to poison him—it would have been a different story.

The final victory may not belong to the third prince.

In his previous life, Qin Shaoyu had learned about the Fourth Prince because they were enemies.

This person, like the other princes, was very cunning and secretly amassed a considerable amount of power.

But this one is the only prince who gets things done and who cares about the people.

If he hadn't already sided with the Third Prince and completely offended the somewhat petty Fourth Prince, he would have wanted to switch sides to the Fourth Prince as well.

In this life, since I don't want the Third Prince to ascend the throne, I'll just help the Fourth Prince do so.

Qin Shaoyu and Qin Shaoyan both entered the Hanlin Academy, which is quieter than other departments in the imperial court.

Over the years, Qin Shaoyu would stay in the Hanlin Academy, using the image of a bookworm as a cover, while secretly helping the Fourth Prince devise plans and schemes.

However, in this life he will be more careful and won't get involved in everything like he did in his previous life.

Knowing too much led to his eventual silencing.

Before officially taking office, the two returned to their village to pay respects to their ancestors and brought their parents, wives, and children to the capital.

Qin Shaoyu: "Your life's most important matter should be settled by now."

Qin Shaoyan blushed and said, "I'll ask my mother to find a matchmaker as soon as I get home."

Qin Shaoyu asked in surprise, "You have someone you like? Who is it?"

Qin Shaoyan whispered, "It's Physician Xiao Liu."

Qin Shaoyu was shocked: "Who?"

My cousin's sweetheart is actually Liu Qingya?

No wonder my cousin in my past life had three months of vacation, but he only stayed in his hometown for more than ten days before returning to Beijing.

He was heartbroken because his beloved girl had married someone else, which is why he was in a hurry to leave.

So, in my past life, I was the one who stole my cousin's sweetheart?
Qin Shaoyu felt a surge of guilt.

Qin Shaoyu said, "I will personally arrange your wedding."

This is what he owes them.

The matchmaker from Qin Shaoyan's family came to their door. Liu's parents were satisfied with the marriage. However, they respected their daughter's opinion; if Liu didn't agree, they would reject the marriage.

In his previous life, Liu Tong had already seen Qin Shaoyan's feelings for his sister Liu, and he would have preferred Qin Shaoyan to be his brother-in-law.

In his past life, Qin Shaoyan proved through his actions that he was an upright and reliable person.

So, throughout her life, Liu Qiu created opportunities for Qin Shaoyan to meet Sister Liu.

After meeting several times, Sister Liu and Qin Shaoyan became familiar with each other.

Qin Shaoyan always acted clumsy in front of his sweetheart. Sister Liu was so smart, how could she not see Qin Shaoyan's feelings for her?

Sister Liu also has feelings for Qin Shaoyan.

She liked Qin Shaoyan's simplicity and clumsiness.

Both of them are interested in each other, but neither of them has confessed their feelings.

As a result, Qin Shaoyan directly asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.

Of course, Sister Liu would agree. If she wanted to teach the other party a lesson, she could do so after the wedding.

The wedding went smoothly.

Qin Shaoyu officiated at Qin Shaoyan's wedding. Watching his wife from his previous life become his cousin's wife, Qin Shaoyu was momentarily dazed.

Liu Tong approached Qin Shaoyu with a smile: "Brother Qin, I have some good wine here, would you like some?"

Qin Shaoyu looked at his brother-in-law from his previous life.

This child is very intelligent; he foresaw his fate long ago in his previous life.

Now, what has he figured out?

Probably not. No matter how smart you are, you only have memories of this life and don't know about your past lives.

Qin Shaoyu forced a smile: "Then thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Liu Tong handed Qin Shaoyu a wine jar, which was homemade wine from their family.

Besides embroidery, Liu Niang also has special skills in brewing wine.

The wine brewed by their family tastes better and has a higher alcohol content than the wine sold in restaurants.

However, these drinks were only for their own family to drink.

This time, considering Qin Shaoyu's low spirits, let's give him a jar as a consolation.

Qin Shaoyu drank an entire jar of wine and remained drunk for two days and two nights.

After waking up on the third day, Qin Shaoyu felt that his emotions had dissipated a lot, and it was the most relaxed moment he had experienced since his rebirth.

Qin Shaoyan and Qin Shaoyu took their families to the capital to take up their posts.

Qin Shaoyan knew what Sister Liu was thinking, so he agreed to buy a pharmacy in the capital and hand it over to Sister Liu to manage.

It has to be said that this touched Sister Liu's heart.

The two were inseparable, and their relationship was wonderful.

Qin Shaoyu saw this and smiled.

In his past life, he was indeed a burden to Liu Qingya, but this life is much better!
Liu Tong followed them to the capital and helped Sister Liu run the pharmacy.

Despite the criticism Qin Shaoyan faced, Sister Liu disguised herself as a man and became the owner and doctor of a pharmacy.

Qin Shaoyan's parents did not come to the capital with their son.

Unlike Qin Shaoyu's parents, who only had one son, Qin Shaoyan's parents had two sons.

Qin Shaoyan was only the youngest son; usually, it is the eldest son who supports his parents.

Qin Shaoyan's parents were more used to the countryside and didn't want to leave, so they stayed.

As for his previous life, because Qin Shaoyan had never married, his parents went to the capital to arrange his marriage.

With no parents-in-law to control her and her husband very supportive, Sister Liu's life was much more carefree and comfortable than in her previous life.

After all, her husband in this life is someone she loves, and he doesn't have any children to take care of.

Speaking of burdens, we must mention Qin Shaoyu's son.

Qin Shaoyu's wife was pregnant at the time, and the child she gave birth to was indeed Qin Mingyuan. (End of Chapter)
