After learning of Gu Chiyuan's death, the emperor issued an imperial edict overnight, appointing Yao Feiran as prime minister, Wei Wanying as princess, her eldest son as heir apparent, and Pei Zhixian as well, who was transferred back from the capital.

Yao Feiran thought to herself that the emperor was indeed a shrewd opportunist.

Wuya's position was that of prime minister, yet she, the murderer, took his place.

Ten years later, hundreds of countries came to pay tribute and offer congratulations. Yao Feiran stood next to the emperor, and these envoys brought countless tributes and beauties.

The envoy from Vimu Kingdom kept staring at Yao Feiran.

The emperor was somewhat speechless: "Why is Vimu's envoy staring at my prime minister?"

Yao Feiran is beautiful, but she can kill a bull with one punch. If you anger Yao Feiran, he can't guarantee what she will do.

The envoy, Wang Heng, quickly shook his head: "No...no, I just feel that the Prime Minister looks a bit like my mother."

Yao Feiran closed her eyes and did some calculations. She realized that the other person and she were actually siblings. From Wang Heng's memories, she pieced together the life of the original owner's birth mother.

The original owner's birth mother was born into a wealthy family, but the family later fell into decline, and she had no choice but to marry Yao Tieniu. Afterwards, her childhood sweetheart came looking for her, and the original owner's birth mother followed her childhood sweetheart to the Weimu Kingdom, where she eventually settled down.

As a result, Yao Tieniu disliked the original owner of the body and sold her off.

Now that Yao Tieniu has passed away from illness, all grudges have vanished.

Wang Heng is the original owner's half-brother.

Yao Feiran opened her eyes, showing no intention of recognizing him. She said calmly, "There are so many people in this world, some are similar, and some are not."

Wang Heng knew that Yao Feiran was a grandmaster, and seeing her cold eyes, he dared not meet her gaze for a moment.

The current Weimu is a vassal state of Jingguo. The country is small and remote, with a hot climate all year round and extremely desolate. It is not even as good as the original village of the body.

Even if Wang Heng is an official of Wei Mu, their lives probably aren't very good.

After the envoys left, Yao Feiran yawned: "Your Majesty, I'm going home now. Don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary."

The emperor smiled and said, "Go back now. I will send Bai Zheng to personally deliver the tribute fruit to you."

Yao Feiran returned to the house, while Xue Yuan practiced martial arts in the open space.

Ever since the emperor bestowed upon him the Prime Minister's residence, Xue Yuan has been shamelessly coming over whenever he has free time. He has now achieved the rank of ninth grade and become a first-grade general. The emperor even deliberately bestowed his residence next to Yao Feiran's.

Xue Yuan personally fed her the fruit sent by the emperor, then moved an identical reclining chair and lay down next to her.

"I will not get married, you don't need to waste your time because of me."

Now, under duress, Xue's mother begged Yao Feiran to marry Xue Yuan, even offering to let her become his son-in-law, but Yao Feiran refused.

"It's okay, as long as we can be together, that's enough. In this life, companionship is all that matters; why bother with empty fame?"

Yao Feiran chuckled softly, and the two chatted and enjoyed the breeze and the moon.

The envoys left one after another. The following year, Wang Heng came again, this time with a woman who looked about 80% like Yao Feiran, but appeared older.

She is Luo Xiang, the original owner's birth mother.

The emperor said, "Wang Heng wants to see you. That woman is your mother, isn't she? You two look so alike."

"I have nothing to do with them anymore."

The emperor understood; this meant that no further favor was needed.

Yao Feiran met with Wang Heng alone, while the woman beside her, Luo Xiang, had red eyes and kept shedding tears.

Luo Xiang cried and said, "I'm sorry, you are Yao Tieniu's child, aren't you? I... I am your birth mother. I had no choice but to leave you in the Yao family back then."

Yao Feiran's eyes flickered slightly as she calculated Luo Xiang's past. After her family fell into decline and her parents died, she needed someone to rely on during a time of crisis. She took the initiative to choose Yao Tieniu as her husband. After marriage, she actually disliked Yao Tieniu in every way. Later, when her childhood sweetheart came looking for her, she abandoned her original self without hesitation and left with her childhood sweetheart.

Because Yao Tieniu reported him to the authorities, Luo Xiang fled to the nearest kingdom, Weimu, where he eventually settled down.

Before Luo Xiang left, Yao Tieniu doted on his wife quite a bit, entrusting her with all the money and always thinking of her in everything.

"I understand. Anyway, I've never hated you. Let's just let this go. You have your life, and I have mine."

Luo Xiang was stunned. The other party's reaction was too indifferent. Did they really not care at all?

No...it's precisely because I care that I reacted so calmly; I'm definitely holding my breath inside.

Luo Xiang: "Actually, I've always missed you. Now that I see you're doing well, I feel at ease. Back then, your father often beat and scolded me. Later, I was rescued and ended up in Weimu. I started a family and built a career there, and I've always hoped to see you again someday."

Yao Feiran waved her hand: "Stop, there's no need for sentimental words. Besides, I don't consider you my mother. I met you to tell you that apart from that thin blood relation, we have no other relationship. After this meeting, we will have no relationship anymore."

Wang Heng quickly said, "What you said is too hurtful. Mother wants to come and find you all the time."

Yao Feiran's aura pressed down, and she kicked him away: "Don't you understand? Who's whose mother? Don't try to curry favor with me."

Wang Heng coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with fear. Luo Xiang quickly hugged Wang Heng, her eyes also filled with terror as she looked at Yao Feiran.

Yao Feiran said, "I am a person who repays kindness and avenges wrongs. You gave birth to me but did not raise me, you are not even a stranger to me. You don't need to tell me your grievances. Judging by actions is more important than intentions. You think you can erase more than 20 years of neglect and reconnect with your family with just one sentence? Dream on! Guards, throw him out and never let him set foot in Jingguo again."

Soon, people came and drove them out.

When Yao Feiran returned to the manor, Xue Yuan already knew what had happened in the palace and said, "I heard your birth mother came looking for you."

"She only cares about her son; she doesn't care about me at all."

Luo Xiang viewed Yao Tieniu as a humiliation and didn't care about her daughter at all before leaving. So why would she say she misses her now?

Moreover, the original owner of this body is already dead, so it's meaningless now.

Xue Yuan revealed a mocking expression: "I'm afraid you want to go back to your country. With a prime minister's daughter like you, you'll enjoy endless wealth and honor after you come back."

"I don't want to think about this mess."

Yao Feiran closed her eyes.

Just then, a maidservant hurried over and said, "My lord, Princess Wei is here."

Xue Yuan looked speechless: "We finally have some alone time, and this woman has to come and join in again."

"....."

Decades later, Yao Feiran left this world. This time, she broke through to the seventh level in one go and sensed the fragments of the planet's time rules. Her soul could reach Yicheng in the blink of an eye and sense everyone there.

They even saw acquaintances from before the mutation.
