With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Cui Ying couldn't help but shake her head. She was over forty and had long passed the mindset of a young girl. She didn't yearn for love and romance at all, so there was no need for her to insist on getting married again.

As long as Cui Ying understands, that's fine; Azhen has always respected her wishes in this regard.

During the years he was away traveling, many things happened in the capital. Many things could not be written in the letter. Now that he was back, Cui Ying mentioned those things to Azhen.

“Liu Hehua is gone.” Cui Ying began by saying this. “Not long after you and Jiang Xun left the capital, she planned to take Qin Shanlin’s only son back to the village to live. As for Qin Yunshu and Qin Shanjie, she gave up on them as well. Over the years, she couldn’t bring them back. She was helpless.”

"But no one expected that Qin Shanjie would be so heartless and gambling-obsessed that he would secretly sell Qin Shanlin's son."

A-Zhuang was slightly surprised, but for a gambling addict, doing something like this was not surprising at all. Selling their children, wives, and even their spouses was commonplace.

"Qin Shanlin cherished this son so much that after learning about the situation, he fought with Qin Shanjie. Qin Shanjie, who was used to doing rough work, was no match for Qin Shanlin and was beaten to death by him."

"With her grandson gone and her youngest son beaten to death by her eldest son, the old lady fell ill. She insisted on returning to Plum Blossom Village and wanted everyone in the Qin family to go back as well, but the Qin family was in chaos, and no one was willing to take her back, nor did they want to go back. It was her third daughter, Qin Dan, who had been married off to a cripple, who had come to the capital with her husband to run a business, who happened to learn of this and took her back. She passed away just two days after returning."

"What do you think she's after?" Cui Ying sighed.

She looked down on her daughter and squeezed her every last drop of value out of her, but in the end, it was the daughter who had married out of the family who took care of her funeral arrangements.

In her opinion, the reason Liu Hehua had led the family to this outcome was because she spoiled the men in her household too much and treated them as important people.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, they shouldn't be spoiled or treated too harshly; first and foremost, they should be taught how to be good people.

Liu Hehua scrimped and saved, placing her hopes on her youngest son and eldest grandson, sending them to school in the hope that they would bring honor to the family, but she forgot to teach them moral principles.

That's why they ended up like this.

“There’s one more thing,” Cui Ying recalled, “Ji Qing divorced Qin Shan.”

A-Zhen asked curiously, "What happened?"

How did Qin Shan and Ji Qing end up together? It wasn't that Ji Qing had those thoughts; it was that Qin Shan saw no way out, and even if something happened to Ji Qing, in her eyes, he was talented and good-looking, so he was a viable option.

She also figured out Ji's mother's personality, so she found an opportunity to get close to her.

Once, when Ji's mother encountered trouble outside, Qin Shan seized the opportunity and won her favor.

After that incident, it was already difficult for Ji Qing to find a spouse, and Ji Qing himself wasn't in a hurry, seemingly unwilling to get married. Ji's mother was anxious, and coincidentally, there was Qin Shan, who suited her temperament and seemed gentle, so she tried to matchmake Qin Shan and Ji Qing.

Ji Qing's career was indeed not smooth, but Pei Ling did not target him too much; he simply stopped paying attention to him because of his talent.

Ji Qing is not well-liked, and if he doesn't achieve something, he will naturally have no hope of promotion.

However, he does have some ability. Even if he doesn't achieve outstanding results, he has learned from his previous mistakes and is very serious about his work. Those who dislike him cannot find fault with him.

Pei Ling was undoubtedly a wise ruler. Even if he didn't cultivate Ji Qing into a trusted minister, he would still reward him according to his merits. Ji Qing had been promoted in recent years because of his achievements.

After getting promoted, life will naturally get better.

Qin Shan felt he had made the right bet, and started to get cocky, developing his own little schemes, and his arrogance returned.

Originally, as long as she didn't cause trouble, even if Ji Qing didn't like her, he wouldn't divorce her. They could have lived a good life together, and she might have really been able to enjoy a glorious life.

Qin Shan actually accepted gifts from others without consulting Ji Qing at all. Ji Qing's mother was also involved in this matter. Fearing that Ji Qing would disagree, the two of them secretly accepted the gifts without telling him. For the first ten years, Qin Shan was very well-behaved, managing everything in an orderly manner. She also got along well with Ji Qing's mother, and Ji Qing was satisfied with her. Qin Shan was also good at flattering people, so they developed some feelings for each other and trusted her quite a bit. He never expected that she would do such a thing without saying a word.

He only found out what had happened when the truth came out.

After ten years of hard work, he was back to square one. It would be even harder for him to get promoted in the future. Ji Qing was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

So Ji Qing divorced his wife and sent his mother back to her hometown.

Knowing she had done something wrong, Ji's mother didn't dare to say a word and obediently returned to her hometown.

Azhen was also speechless. With Ji's mother's personality, Ji Qing still hadn't learned his lesson.

To be honest, it's quite remarkable that Ji's mother was able to find Qin Shan to be her daughter-in-law. With a mother like Ji's, it's no wonder that Ji Qing's career has been unsuccessful.

"We met Yun Feng'er outside." Azhen told Cui Ying about what she had seen and heard along the way. If Cui Ying hadn't been reluctant to travel, she would have taken her to see her. But transportation in the ancient world was indeed a problem, and traveling outside was very difficult.

She was fine, and Jiang Xun was also strong and healthy, skilled in martial arts, and used to traveling, so it was easy for them.

But Cui Ying was different. Traveling was tiring, and since she didn't have that idea herself, she wasn't taken out for a trip.

In the first year after leaving the capital, she and Jiang Xun met Yun Feng'er.

Just as Cui Ying had guessed, the merchant had wives and concubines at home and never thought of taking Yun Feng'er, a married woman, back as a concubine.

It was just a pastime in my spare time; once I got tired of it, I would sell it off.

Yun Feng'er had a husband, but she ran off with him without hesitation. The merchant was also afraid that Yun Feng'er would betray him in the future.

Yun Feng'er was filled with remorse. When she saw Azhen, she hoped that Azhen would send a message to Qin Shanlin, asking him to rescue her, as she had been sold by that merchant to a fool as his wife.

I don't know what she was thinking. If Qin Shanlin were a person of loyalty and righteousness, he wouldn't have done those things just because Cui Ying couldn't have a son.

Azhen did indeed help deliver the message, but there was no reply.

She didn't know what happened to Yun Feng'er after that.

Cui Ying shook her head, unsure of what to say.

When Yun Feng'er ran away, she had a suspicion, and sure enough, what kind of good person could abduct someone's wife? Of course, Yun Feng'er was no good either.

After that, A-Zhuang stayed in the capital. She thought that after the restrictions were lifted, the entity behind the Pregnancy System would soon come to cause her trouble, but it didn't.

It's certain that the reproductive system is still functioning.

Until she lived her entire life in this world and her body died, the Pregnancy System suddenly drifted away from the world, and her soul chased after it without hesitation.

Her intuition told her that she would soon find the answer.

Soon after, Azhen found herself back in the world before the client's time travel.

In a daze, her soul entered a hospital room. (End of Chapter)
