My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 167 So that’s it
The young master of the Divine Doctor Valley was originally traveling in the capital when he was invited by the Marquis's mansion to treat Sheng Jian's illness.

After Sheng Jian's illness was cured, the old lady was afraid that he would reveal Sheng Jian's illness and embarrass himself, so she took advantage of his inattention to drug the young master, sever his tendons, and lock him in a dark room.

After Sheng Zhan was imprisoned, the two of them became the only companions they could talk to.

Every time he was beaten so badly in a battle that his skin was torn and bleeding, it was the young master who would heal his wounds and teach him martial arts.

In the fifth year that Sheng Zhan had been in the dark room, Sheng Jian fed him an unknown drug and then took him to a room.

There was a very beautiful woman in that room.

She was dressed in a fiery red dress, lying on the bed waiting to be picked.

Both of them were under the influence of a potent aphrodisiac, and their intercourse was a natural consequence.

"I only saw your mother's face after I regained consciousness. It turned out to be Sister Xu, whom I had admired for many years. Before I could figure out what was going on, I was taken away again, while Sheng Jian lay down on the bed by himself."

“This has happened many times in a row. I was taken away before I could say a word to your mother.”

Thinking of Xu Yuan, Sheng Zhan's face was filled with tenderness.

He was a child then, and he went with his mother to sell things at the foot of Huguo Temple Mountain, where he met Xu Yuan, who was going to Huguo Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Xu Yuan was three years older than him. By then, she had blossomed into a beautiful and graceful young woman.

He and his mother were selling things when they encountered an unreasonable bully. It was Xu Yuan who lent a helping hand and saved him and his mother.

They also gave him five taels of silver to buy all his things.

From then on, he fell in love with Xu Yuan at first sight and decided that when he grew up, he would go to the general's mansion to become a servant and serve the young lady.

Unexpectedly, his mother passed away later, and when he went to the Marquis's mansion to find his relatives, he was locked in a dark room.

“I never imagined that one day I would be able to consummate my marriage with your mother and have several children with you.”

"Little Yao'er, do you know how happy I was when I heard that your mother had given birth to my child?"

"I have been practicing martial arts diligently in the dark room, hoping that one day I can escape from there and take you away from the Marquis's mansion."

“I never imagined that I would not have been able to take a good look at you all, or at your mother, who passed away not long after giving birth to you.”

“I used all my skills to break free of the chains, trying to take you and your mother with me, but I was chased all the way by the assassins that Sheng Jian had prepared, and finally fell off a cliff.”

"What I never expected was that the Valley of Divine Healers was below the cliff. It was the old Valley Master, the father of the young Valley Master, who saved me. After waking up, I couldn't remember anything from before."

"The old valley master restored my martial arts, but he couldn't restore my past memories. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to remember you all."

Sheng Zhan felt he deserved to die.

He had actually forgotten about his wife and children for so many years.

Bai Hu Yaoyao sighed, "It's not too late for you to think about it now, but Second Brother has been deliberately spoiled by the Marquis's mansion, and now he is particularly hostile to me and Eldest Brother."

Especially after she drove Sheng Yanran insane, Sheng Xuan immediately regarded her as an enemy.

I wish I could kill her.

She didn't want a second brother like that either.

"All these people in the Marquis's mansion deserve to die!" Sheng Zhan slammed his fist on the table.

Now that he has remembered everything, he cannot let the Marquis's mansion off easily.

"Father, I've already stirred up most of those people in the Marquis's mansion. Now we're just waiting for Sheng Jian to be dealt with."

During the days that Sheng Jian was away from the Marquis's residence, she was not idle; she took care of everyone who needed to be disciplined.

These days, Sheng Jian has been so focused on making money that he's neglected everyone else in the Marquis's mansion.

Gu Rong was tormented by Jiang Yiyi every day, to the point that she felt like she was dying, and she couldn't even take care of her two children.

Sheng Zijing was discovered embracing naked with Gu Xiao, that useless man.

Her reputation was ruined; the only way out was for her to marry Gu Xiao.

Sheng Ling was reported for having an affair with a concubine in the harem, and the emperor, in a fit of anger, imprisoned him.

Now we just have to wait and see how the emperor will deal with Sheng Jian.

"What you've done isn't enough. I'm going to leave the entire Marquis's mansion barren!"

"Little Yao'er, just wait and see the show."

Sheng Zhan affectionately patted her head. Bai Hu Yaoyao nodded, "Okay, I'll wait."

A few more days passed.

Then they saw the Prime Minister personally arrive at the Marquis's residence with the imperial edict.

Behind them followed the Imperial Guards, all of them looking fierce and menacing.

"My lord, please accept the imperial decree!"

"By the Mandate of Heaven: The Emperor decrees..."

The gist of the case is that Marquis Wen'an was accused of treason and offending the regent of the Mantuo Empire. He was sentenced to have his entire family executed.

"Eunuch Cao, is His Majesty mistaken? When did I ever commit treason? Where did I offend the Regent of the Mantuo Empire? I don't even know if he's a man or a ghost."

Sheng Jian protested vehemently.

He only did one thing—colluding with the enemy and betraying the country—and that was at the emperor's behest.

As for the regent of the Mando Empire, he's never even met him, okay?
Eunuch Cao gave him a disdainful look. "Is Marquis Wen'an going to defy the imperial decree? Don't you understand the principle that if the emperor commands a subject to die, the subject must die?"

"I don't agree!"

Sheng Jian tried to resist but was immediately captured by the Imperial Guards.

He did so much for the emperor, yet in the end, his entire family was executed.

Everyone in the Marquis's mansion was taken to prison, including the old lady who had suffered a stroke.

Looking at the Marquis's mansion, which had been sealed off, Bai Hu Yaoyao sighed.

"Miss, the Marquis's mansion is finished. Yiyi should set off now."

Looking at the ransacked Hou Mansion, Jiang Yiyi finally felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Gu Rong has been tortured beyond recognition and is now in prison. Her two children are also in prison, awaiting execution.

She no longer had any attachment to the Western Moon Kingdom.

"Alright! You can go with Zhu Yue's caravan! I'm not comfortable with you traveling alone."

Chasing the Wind and Moon has returned from Fancheng; he came back to transport more goods to Fancheng.

Now, their caravan has become Bai Hu Yaoyao's subordinate, only responsible for transporting the precious things she possesses.

This time, we're coming back to transport some more grain and treasures over there.

Today, affordable grain stores in Fancheng have become life-saving granaries for the people of Fancheng.

Jiang Yiyi nodded, "Take care, Miss."

"Take care." White Fox Yaoyao watched her leave.

After glancing at the sealed-off Marquis's mansion, Bai Hu Yaoyao went directly to Wutong Lane.

There is a small courtyard in Wutong Lane where Sheng Xuan lives.

Sheng Yanran was defiled by a group of beggars, lost her reputation, and even became somewhat insane.

He was then expelled from the Marquis's residence by Sheng Jian.

Sheng Xuan couldn't bear to see Sheng Yanran suffer, so he secretly bought a small courtyard here and raised Sheng Yanran.

When Baihu Yaoyao arrived, she saw Sheng Xuan pointing his sword at Shengshi.

"Get out! I don't have family like you! Even if Sheng Jian is a bad guy, he didn't let me go hungry, but what about you? You abandoned me and didn't care about me at all. I've become like this because of you."

"You say he's our father? I don't believe it! I only recognize Sheng Jian as my father."

Sheng Xuan pointed his sword at Sheng Zhan, wishing he could kill him at any moment.

Why does everyone tell him that he's wrong, that everything he does is wrong?

He was not Sheng Jian's child; his birth was such a disgrace.

His biological mother didn't even recognize her own husband; she had him born from an affair with another man.

What exactly is he?
