Qin Fangtian's face was devoid of any smile, and a layer of cold air emanated from his body.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to."

Yao Feiran helped her up: "Did your aunt ask you to come in? I don't think you wanted to come. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and maybe I can help you solve them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiqu finally couldn't hold back her tears and said, "My mother said that if I can't succeed, my aunt will have no one to treat her illness. Please, Madam, save my aunt."

After Chen Yiqu finished speaking, her face was covered in tears.

"You go back first, I'll take care of it for you later."

"Thank you, Madam."

Chen Yiqu didn't believe that the benefactor would go out of his way to help her, and left disheartened.

Qin Fangtian stared straight at Yao Feiran and said, "I thought Madam wanted me to take a concubine."

"You wish! But I won't stop you if you want to take a concubine."

Why?

"I'll stay far away from you, take back what I gave you, and then beat you up."

Qin Fangtian laughed and said, "I will not disappoint you, Madam. Besides, you are incredibly strong and unparalleled. I can't withstand a single punch from you."

Yao Feiran: ...He can actually make jokes now.

.......

When Yao Shuli saw Chen Yiqu come out, she quickly asked, "How did it go?"

"The general doesn't even see me; he only has the Duchess's eyes."

"It's all because you're incompetent. You're all show and no substance, just a useless piece of trash."

Yao Shuli slapped her across the face, her eyes flashing with hatred. After she got married, her husband always wanted to advance his career, but he had no way to do so. Her sister-in-law, on the other hand, said that her husband was too ambitious and would get into trouble sooner or later, and refused to help. Clearly, she didn't want her to have a good life.

She found her own way and heard that Yao Feiran had returned to visit her family. This niece had married well, but unfortunately, she was unlucky and couldn't even have a son. Thinking that no man is immune to infidelity, she simply chose the most manipulable and beautiful concubine's daughter.

The result was so useless!

At this moment, Yao's mother walked over angrily.

"Yao Shuli, who gave you permission to bring people in without my permission! Get out of here, you're not welcome here."

Yao Shuli's face darkened, and she could only leave with Chen Yiqu.

........

Before leaving, Yao Feiran took Chen Yiqu and her aunt with her and settled them in the Yao family home. It was said that Yao Shuli's husband's family had too many daughters, and for profit, most of them were sent to be concubines or secondary wives.

In the eyes of others, making one's daughter a concubine or a second wife for an older man is considered selling one's daughter for personal gain.

No wonder Yao's mother said that the original owner's uncle was a bad person.

Chen Yiqu and her aunt moved into the Yao family home. Yao's mother didn't seem to mind; it was just an extra pair of chopsticks, and she would send a dowry later.

Yao Shuli didn't come over to make a scene, because she was already too busy taking care of herself.

Yao Feiran selected several women for her uncle, who was sent by Qin Fangtian. The uncle was eager to accept them, thinking he had gotten close to Qin Fangtian.

These women were of low social status and wanted to leave their profession but had no way to do so. They knew many ways to deal with men, and before long they won over the heart of the original owner's uncle. Yao Shuli was furious and caused quite a commotion in the backyard.

However, by this time, Yao Feiran had already arrived in the capital.

The person who assassinated her revealed Li Chenxuan's identity.

Li Chenxuan was thrown into prison for colluding with bandits, framing noblewomen, and implicating General Qin's wife and daughters. This time, he also lost his title.

However, the emperor spared his life.

Not long after.

The emperor bestowed a marriage upon the second daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's family and the third prince. Qin Fangtian said he wanted to keep his daughter for a few more years, so the emperor specially set the wedding date for three years later.

Thanks to Qin Xuan, Shen Zeyu was finally remembered by the emperor that his son had not yet been granted the title of prince. The emperor immediately bestowed upon him the title of Prince of Ning, granted him a mansion, and allowed him to attend court and participate in government affairs.

Upon learning of this, Li Chenxuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Everything has changed.

Xuanxuan actually married the third prince who died young.

He immediately guessed that Yao Feiran was behind it all. Thinking back over the past few years, Qin Xuan and Shen Zeyu probably knew each other long ago.

"Yao Feiran!"

She would rather marry her daughter to a short-lived man than marry him!

"You really hate me, you keep calling my name even in jail."

Li Chenxuan's eyes widened as he realized that Yao Feiran was standing outside the cell at some point. His expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to grab the bars.

"I know you were also reborn, so why did you marry your daughter to the Third Prince? Don't you know he's a short-lived man? How could you treat Xuanxuan like this?"

"Stop talking about Xuanxuan all the time. People like you who act selfishly deserve to die without a burial place."

"What right do you have to talk to me like that? Do you think you're some kind of good person? You're the one who caused Xuanxuan's childhood suffering."

Yao Feiran stretched out a needle and stabbed it directly into his throat, then stabbed him several more times. Li Chenxuan rolled on the ground in pain.

Yao Feiran squatted down and said leisurely, "I told you before, if you dare to call Xuanxuan again, I'll beat you every time I see you."

Li Chenxuan instantly felt numbness and itching all over his body, and his head was throbbing with pain.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he no longer had the strength to speak.

"Actually, you don't like Xuanxuan at all. You just like the life Xuanxuan will have after marrying you. No matter who Xuanxuan marries, that person will rise to great heights. You were incredibly lucky to marry her in your past life, but you didn't cherish it. Now you're resorting to any means to force her. A selfish person like you doesn't deserve to marry her."

Yao Feiran had never seen such a shameless person.

The bandit said that Li Chenxuan intended to kill Yao Feiran and Qin Zhen, then kidnap Qin Xuan and release her, thus ruining Qin Xuan's reputation, making it much easier for Li Chenxuan to propose marriage.

It's simply outrageous that someone like that actually married Qin Xuan in this lifetime.

Yao Feiran glanced at him. Death was too good for him; he should be living a life worse than death.

Three years later, Qin Xuan successfully married Shen Zeyu, and Qin Zhen also found a husband named Zhao Mufeng, a second-class Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), the illegitimate son of a minor official. He was extremely handsome, but had no ambition. His father had passed away several years ago, and his eldest brother was in charge of the family. He would be separated from his family when he came of age, and he did not have much family property. He took the imperial examinations mainly to obtain a salary.

Those who marry into the family have virtually no chance of getting a government job. The previous dynasty even prohibited sons-in-law from becoming officials. Although the Southern Dynasty did not have explicit laws against it, it was still very difficult for them to rise in the ranks.

Thanks to Qin Fangtian's efforts, Zhao Mufeng stayed in the capital and became a seventh-rank official. He was happy every day, clocked in on time for work, and went home to live with Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen has a fiery temper, but seeing his face naturally cheers her up, and the couple rarely argues.

A few years later, the struggle for the throne began again, the crown prince was deposed, and Prince Ning was also brought to the forefront.

The Feng Kingdom had long been defeated, and Qin Fangtian had not yet relinquished his military power, causing the emperor to become wary of him.

"Madam, what do you suggest I do?"

"Hand over military power."

"But what about Prince Ning? I'm his in-law, after all. Shouldn't I fight for that position?"

"Of course we'll fight for it, all we need to do is pay up."

"This struggle for the throne cannot be solved with money."

"Listen to me, if you don't hand over military power, the emperor will turn against us. Right now, the emperor still has some old feelings for you. As for Prince Ning, you don't need to worry about him at all."

Qin Fangtian looked puzzled, but he still decided to listen to Yao Feiran.

Yao Feiran: You don't understand the power of the protagonist.
