Xue."This is Dong Lane" I was concerned about what had happened to Old Chen, so I leaned out and looked into the alley behind them.It's not even midnight yet, and there are still quite a few people a...I turned back to look at her, and the expression in her eyes was a tangle of emotions that were hard to describe.

The steward looked from one woman to the other, and then back again. He seemed to find himself in a rather uncomfortable position, so he gave me a respectful bow and said, "Master, I shall take my leave."

I nodded, watching the Head Butler's retreating figure cross the threshold.

Before my eyes, Shen Qingrui still looked unwilling and resentful, her chin held high in defiance.

"Get to the point, I don't have time to waste." I told her.

She was pulled back by me twice. Both times, she was captured and cried out for help but no one answered. Finally, I went to rescue her.

Even if she doesn't know how to be grateful, she should at least know to humble herself and yield.

Expecting her to say thank you is impossible. She'd probably phrase it like an argument.

“I want to ask the head of the household, was it the Emperor who saved me”

"It was me."

“......”

This guy is really stubborn, how can he still be like a plant with only one spirit, his brain doesn't know how to turn.

"Shen Qingrui, you should think carefully about how to live this life," I said. "Since you have the fairy fate and serve before the revered god, the revered god guided your soul to the reincarnation well and obtained a body for cultivating Sanhun Qipo, you should understand that you have already been reborn."

“With new opportunities at hand, what else do you desire The past will not repeat itself. The Emperor is no longer alone. With his temperament, he would never stray into lustful desires. Your obsession is pointless; instead of clinging to delusions, focus on cultivation and live this life well… To be born human is a yearning for many otherworldly beings. Why can't you see this”

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of Yin Shuai Ayu, who walked onto the stage. She was a smart person, understanding her own heart, sticking to her mission, and calmly turning away.

"Love isn't always about persistence, especially when it's a one-sided infatuation. Why bother"

I frowned and counseled her a few times, but Shen Qingrui lowered her head without speaking.

She wasn't unaware of the truth, but she deliberately chose to deceive herself and refuse to believe it.

She muttered softly, "You're the fairy queen, of course you feel calm. Who could shake your position..."

“I don't think I have any status. Matters of the heart are just between two people. Someone like Jiang Qiyun wouldn't possibly change their mind because of outside opinions or other people's reasons It seems you've never been in love, so you think that wishful thinking can achieve your desires... Why don't you have the head steward find you a good match”

She frowned deeply: “I won't!”

"You're getting on in years," I told her bluntly.

She should be a few years older than my brother, right Anyway, she's in her mid-twenties now, probably heading towards her thirties. It's fine if she's not married, at least she has someone to date.

"So what if I'm old Dying alone doesn't bother me." She snorted defiantly.

"Wouldn't that be a waste of your life as a human There's no guarantee there will be another reincarnation, or that the next one will have such a good family environment. Given your arrogant personality, the god who judges right and wrong would probably find it very difficult." I made up a nonsense statement.

Who knew she had a glimmer of panic in her eyes.

Jiang Qiyun led her to the Wheel of Rebirth Well, giving her the opportunity to be reborn as a human. If she wasted it carelessly, or when she returned to the underworld, she ended up in the Twenty-Four Hells because of more evil than good...

This is not a matter of being slapped in the face, but a matter of enduring extreme pain.

She came from the underworld, and knew fear to some degree.

I casually said, "Last time I was at a meeting in the capital, I met a peer from our circle who was really impressive. He was well-dressed and spoke eloquently. At such a young age, he could participate in a meeting of this level, so he must be an elite figure from a prominent family in the industry. Would you like me to introduce him to you"

"Hmph!" She didn't answer, stomped her foot at me, and then ran out, her collar fluttering in the wind.

...It feels like I'm trying to set up an older woman in the family with a potential suitor.

Actually, whether you're in your twenties, thirties, or forties... as long as your mindset is right, there will be true affection. Destiny will eventually arrive.

Lin Yanqin walked by my brother's side from under the eaves. They both saw Shen Qingrui run out angrily.

Three times is the limit, I've brought her back twice already. She's a cultivator after all, she hasn't dared to disrespect me again. But seeing her stubbornly set jaw, I couldn't help but want to "get even" with her.

I had my disciples at the gate summon the chief manager and, in all seriousness, told him that I had met a young master from a prominent family named someone in the imperial capital last time. I asked him to investigate that person's background, preferences, character, and so on.

The chief steward looked bewildered: "What's the point of checking And so meticulously! What does the master want to do"

"...Try to gather more information about promising young men within the circle and introduce them to our eligible Kun Dao, especially Shen Qingrui. That Miss is high-minded and arrogant, looking only at the sky. Ordinary men wouldn't even catch her eye." I said with a smile.

"Ah" The chief steward's eyes widened: "To tell Shen Qingrui to get married! Isn't this a waste of effort With her temper, how many men could stand it..."

My brother interjected, "She just deserves to be disciplined. What kind of woman becomes soft the moment she touches emotions I think she's just starved for love. Let's quickly introduce her to some wealthy young men. Maybe someone will find her attractive Don't let her keep daydreaming about my brother-in-law, it's unrealistic."

The chief steward broke into a cold sweat and stole a glance at me. I smiled and nodded in agreement with my brother's words. The chief steward hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go check right away."

My brother sat and chatted with me about this matter. He already knew the follow-up results through his network.

"Breaking news, Lao Tou died." He said to me lightly.

Dead We left when he was captured, and the witch's spirit had already been taken by us. How could he have suddenly died

"The police took him back home to point out the crime scene. He had two pistols, both obtained from the black market. One was hidden in his house and the other was concealed inside a fake mountain in the yard. While pointing out the hiding places, a fish in the pond jumped up and bit his finger. Within a minute, his finger started turning black. By the time they rushed him to the hospital for emergency treatment, his heart had already stopped... The fish also died and was sent for examination." My brother said in a low voice.

I was inwardly astonished. The witch's sliver of resentment seeped into the water on the ground, permeating the earth below. In this way, she could still kill this greedy person who had broken her "game".

“Alas, misfortune and fortune often come knocking at the same door. It’s all self-inflicted. I feel that the people in this village are going to have no good luck from now on. They're so greedy and frenzied, they dare to detain a living person! Although it was a surprise for the Shen family with no real harm, once this gets out, the officials will be sweating bullets, and this village is sure to face some consequences.” My brother shook his head.

Lin Yanqin curiously asked, "How valuable are those burial jade ornaments They made this old man go to such lengths and even commit murder..."

My brother said seriously: "Anything touched by a female ghost, even if it costs a fortune, shouldn't be touched. A woman's resentment is terrifying."

I looked around: "Where is Mrs. Lin"ome to your secluded world! You woman, besides looking slightly dewy and crying fiercely, have nothing else to offer. His Lordship only sees you as a tool, don't get any delusions.”Yes, yes, yes, you...
