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

Although he married another woman, Liu Pei did not abandon his original wife.

He considered himself a conscientious and affectionate person who would never abandon his beloved Zhang.

After he and Pei arrived in the county town to take up their posts, he sent Zhang San to bring Zhang Shi, her eldest daughter, and her son to the county town.

Liu Pei bought a house to house Zhang and her son.

He told Zhang that the Pei family had forced him to marry her because of their power, and that his heart was actually with Zhang.

He assured Zhang that one day he would make her his legitimate wife.

Zhang believed him.

Zhang San was actually Zhang's cousin and Liu Pei's brother-in-law.

Zhang San used Liu Pei's name to gain considerable benefits for himself.

Who would have thought that a steward could own hundreds of acres of land and three shops, and have one wife and three concubines!
Liu Dong's fall off the cliff was Zhang San's doing.

For what?
Of course, it was so that his nephew could inherit the Liu family business legitimately.

Although Liu Pei was a hypocrite, he was not cold-blooded enough to kill his own son.

Although he had someone tamper with Pei's medicine.

Killing Liu was Zhang San's own idea.

The horse's madness was Zhang San's doing, but Liu Pei was unaware of it.

Liu Tong believes that Liu Pei must have realized Zhang San's involvement afterward.

However, since Liu Tong was already dead and had triggered Pei Shi's death, Liu Pei did not dwell on the matter any further.

After all, he has a son, and Zhang San is that son's uncle.

The next day, Liu Pei was pretending to be sick in his room when he suddenly heard a loud noise, which startled him.

Liu Pei ordered the maid beside him, "Go and see what happened?"

The maidservant ran back shortly after leaving, looking terrified.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Steward Zhang is dead."

"Dead?" Liu Pei sat up abruptly and asked, "How could he be dead?"

Maid: "A beam in the mourning hall suddenly broke and fell, hitting Steward Zhang on the head and killing him."

Liu Pei: "..."

Liu Pei felt a chill.

He had never believed in ghosts or gods, but now he was somewhat afraid.

Liu Dong was killed by Zhang San, and Pei Shi also died because of Zhang San. Did they become ghosts and come back to seek revenge on Zhang San?

Otherwise, why was Zhang San crushed to death in the funeral hall of two people?
Will they come after me?

Probably not?
After all, he never intended for his son to die. Even if he were to take action against Pei, he would only do so to keep her bedridden for the rest of her life, not to kill her immediately.

Yes, he is innocent.

He did not harm them.

They won't seek revenge on him.

Thinking about this, Liu Pei felt less afraid.

Liu Pei gave the order: "Let Steward Lin take charge of Steward Zhang's funeral arrangements."

The maidservant agreed and went to convey Liu Pei's orders.

Liu Pei was dealt another blow by the death of his most trusted housekeeper, and his illness worsened.

Even at the funeral of his wife and son, Lord Liu was unable to get up. He could only lie on the bed and weep, missing his beloved wife and son.

That scene deeply moved many people.

Liu Dong watched this scene coldly.

This person was too guilty to attend the funeral of Pei Shi and "Liu Dong," but his acting skills were so good that he managed to create a deeply affectionate persona for himself.

Liu Tong did not make a move against Liu Pei.

After all, Liu Pei was his biological father in this life, and he could not commit patricide.

To his relief, Liu Pei had severed the ties between the two of them because of this incident. Liu Qiu also did not harm Zhang and her three children.

These four people are innocent in the matter concerning Pei and him.

Even if Zhang had an affair with Liu Pei, Liu Qiu couldn't go against his conscience and say that Zhang was bad.

After all, Zhang was Liu Pei's true first wife, while Pei was, strictly speaking, the one who stole her husband.

Liu Tong would no longer care about this family. He didn't think that with Liu Pei's selfishness and greed, Zhang's family would be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

After Pei Shi's funeral, Liu Dong left the county town to go to the border to find the Pei family.

The chosen one whom Heaven had entrusted to help was also speaking from the border.

Liu Dong is still young, and even though he has the ability to protect himself, it would be very troublesome for him to travel alone.

He then pretended to be a little beggar, but in reality, Liu Dong would not mistreat himself.

When leaving the county town, Liu took all the money that Zhang San had hidden.

Zhang San was greedy and audacious. He took advantage of Liu Pei's position as a confidant to take on lawsuits and embezzle a lot of money.

Liu Tong found a box of silver notes under his bed, totaling two thousand taels.

With this money, Liu Dong wouldn't skimp on her food, indulging in expensive delicacies.

Unable to openly dine at a restaurant, this lowly beggar sneaked into the kitchen, picked out his favorite dishes to take away, and left the money in a conspicuous place.

After eating his way through the journey, Liu Dong finally arrived at the border.

The Pei family had only been at the border for a short time.

They were assigned to live in a village near the border town, and were given a few acres of land and a mud house.

Although the Pei family had suffered a lot along the way, they were still not suited to their current situation.

The mud houses were barely habitable, and the Pei family, who had previously stayed in remote areas along the road, were not unaccustomed to them.

It's already very good that they have houses to live in.

But this field...

They don't know how to farm!

Just then, a little beggar came to the door.

The Pei family did not know Liu Tong. Liu Tong was born in the county town and had never been to the capital.

The Pei family only knew that Pei had given birth to a son and knew the child's name, but they did not know what the child looked like.

Liu Dong announced her name, surprising the Pei family.

The Pei family now has more than twenty members: Pei's eldest uncle, Pei's second uncle, Pei's third uncle, and their wives and sons.

Lord Pei's wife, Madam Pei, is still alive.

Her body was healthier than her husband's, which enabled her to reach the border town.

But after settling in, he fell ill.

"Are you A-Qiang? What are you doing in the border town? Where are your father and mother? Could it be that your father was implicated by the Pei family and was also exiled to the border town?"

Liu Qiu shook her head: "My mother passed away, as for my father..."

Liu Tong told the Pei family about the Liu family's affairs.

"This bastard!"

The Pei family was furious and berated Liu Pei.

"Good boy, you suffered."

Uncle Pei stroked Liu Tong's head with his large hand: "From now on, you'll be with your uncle, and we'll treat you well."

Liu Dong hummed in agreement and took out a thousand-tael silver note from his pocket, handing it to Uncle Pei.

"Uncle, take this money and use it to improve the family's living conditions."

Uncle Pei was astonished: "How do you have so much money?"

Liu Tong: "Uh, when I left, I took all of Zhang Sanzang's money."

Uncle Pei patted Liu Tong's head again: "Taking things without asking is not the act of a gentleman. Don't do it again. But in this matter, you did well." (End of this chapter)
