My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The news that Ji Yunshuang had truly become emperor, or even a deity, quickly spread throughout Shuanghe Village and then outwards, eventually reaching Weisha Village.

The Lu Bingchun family, as well as the Hu and Sun families and other villagers who had fled with the Lu Yinheng family, had all heard the news.

When people first heard the news, their first reaction was that it was impossible.

How could Ji Yunshuang, a mere woman, possibly become an emperor or even a deity? This is utterly absurd.

But Lu Yinheng's family was indeed living very well; they had secretly visited Shuanghe Village before.

The big house that the Lu family built.

Gu Chunzhi's son and daughter-in-law were not in the village; only Gu Chunzhi lived in that big house.

They wanted to put in a good word for Gu Chunzhi and ask her to help them out of consideration for their past relationship.

But they hired many guards, all of whom were strong and healthy, and Gu Chunzhi did not want to see them.

They couldn't even get a house near his home.

Everyone was filled with regret. In their regret, they couldn't help but think, what good is it if Gu Chunzhi lives in a big house?

She's all alone.

She was so heartless to them; Heaven will punish her severely in the future.

When the time comes, her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter will all die outside, and she will have cried all her tears away.

Lu Bingchun's family secretly thought that Gu Chunzhi would come looking for them when that time came.

After all, they were her last remaining family members in this world.

They waited and waited, but instead of receiving news that Gu Chunzhi's children and grandchildren had all died outside, they received news that her daughter-in-law had become the emperor.

Lu Bingchun exclaimed excitedly, "Impossible! This can't be true!"

“Why not?” said the villager who came to deliver the message. “I have a relative who married into a family nearby. People in her village heard it with their own ears, she said it herself. Some even saw things conjure up. She’s really a god and an emperor.”

“Does she mean she’s the emperor?” Lu Bingchun said, “She… she might be exaggerating just to save face. Besides, maybe your relative misheard.”

"Have you forgotten the news you heard a few days ago?" the villager said. "The news that she led the army to conquer the State of Qi has been circulating in Hongdu for a few days! I went to Hongdu on business and heard it with my own ears."

What he actually heard was that Ji Yunshuang had created a plague and monsters, used the monsters and plagues to conquer the Qi Kingdom, and was now on the throne in Qi, with the country called Daqi.

However, at this moment, he automatically ignored the monster plague and excitedly talked about the news he had heard.

"My relative said that Shuanghe Village has become a hot commodity. Many families want their daughters to marry into Shuanghe Village, and daughters from Shuanghe Village are especially sought after. Many people consider it an honor to marry a daughter from Shuanghe Village..."

Both Lu Bingchun's and Hu's families felt as if their hearts were being torn apart upon hearing this.

Just then, Granny Gui leaned over to Granny Hu and said, "If your Chun Jiao had really married Lu Lao Er back then, your family would be royalty now."

Granny Hu almost fainted from regret when she thought about the marriage she had arranged years ago.

Even setting aside the fact that they were related to royalty, if the marriage had gone through, their family wouldn't have been assigned to Weisha Village.

Following the Lu family, their family would probably have become rich long ago.

She thought to herself, then glared hatefully at her eldest daughter-in-law. It was all because of that vile woman; why didn't she just die?

If she hadn't instigated her daughter, how could her Chun Jiao have broken off her engagement with the second son of the Lu family?

How could the Hu family have lost such a good marriage partner?

At this moment, Sister-in-law Hu was filled with regret.

Because her son went to join the army and sent money back, she was able to save her life by having the money to treat her illness.

Although he survived, he could no longer get out of bed and move around like a normal person.

Living is worse than dying for her.

She was in so much pain, yet she couldn't bear to die.

She now completely believes that Ji Yunshuang is a deity, and that she was punished by the deity for disrespecting the deity.

"My lord, please, take me to Shuanghe Village, okay?" she pleaded, clutching Hu Xing's hand.

Hu Xing impatiently shook her off and said, "What are we going to Shuanghe Village for? If we hadn't listened to you back then, how could our Hu family have ended up like this? Are you going to harm our Hu family again?"

Now that Sister-in-law Hu has difficulty moving around, she has to ask the Hu family for help to go anywhere. Although she is resentful and feels that while she was partly responsible for her sister's broken engagement, she was not the main reason.

But she didn't dare to argue with him.

He could only plead in a low voice, "I'll go apologize to Madam Ji and beg her to forgive me—"

Before she could finish speaking, Hu Xing interrupted her, saying, "Are you crazy? What is her status now? What is your status? What did you just call her? Are you trying to get our whole family killed?"

Sister-in-law Hu quickly corrected herself, saying, "I misspoke earlier. I was going to find... to find a deity to apologize to and beg for forgiveness for my previous mistake."

Brother Hu said, "That won't do! Have you forgotten about the second brother?"

At the time, the second brother was involved with Sun the eldest and Zhang Laizi, planning to steal from the Lu family. As a result, Sun the eldest and Zhang Laizi had their legs broken, and his second brother was also beaten half to death.

Fortunately, he didn't go. If he had, he would probably be in the same situation as them now.

"I'm just going to apologize..." Sister-in-law Hu said, "Why don't you drop me off and then leave, and I'll crawl there myself? I just hope that she can forgive me because she sees that I've been punished."

When Brother Hu heard that she would apologize on her own without him having to do it, he finally agreed.

Although he was afraid, he also wanted to see what was going on and whether the rumors were true.

Not only the Hu family was preparing to go to Shuanghe Village, but Lu Bingchun's family was also planning to go and see if it was really true, as rumored, that Ji Yunshuang had become the emperor.

Because Wan Shitong followed Ji Yunshuang's instructions and led people to develop the breeding industry in the Weisha Village area, the villagers went to work at the breeding farm, and now the villagers are not as poor as before.

Nowadays, many families in Weisha Village have bought oxcarts.

Lu Bingchun's family is no longer in such dire straits that they can't even afford to rent an oxcart.

And so, the group set off for Shuanghe Village in a grand procession.
