Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 529 Concubine 10
The changes in the capital are neither big nor small.

The old friends that Liu Shu knew have changed a lot.

Sang Chuwen has already entered officialdom and is now the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He married his wife eight years ago. She is the daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy.

Because of his father-in-law's relationship, Sang Chuwen did well among the civil servants.

His wife gave birth to a son and a daughter. Now he has both a son and a daughter and a successful career. He can be said to be a winner in life.

Compared with Wei Wenyuan, there is a huge gap between Sang Chuwen.

Princess Leping died four years ago, killed by a push from the Marquis' wife.

Princess Leping wanted to have a child of her own, so she took medicine for several years and finally got pregnant.

However, Princess Leping herself did not realize that she was pregnant, and she even provoked the Marquis's wife and had an argument with her.

The Marquis's wife pushed Princess Leping, causing her to have a miscarriage.

Princess Leping's body was damaged by the poison from the medicines she had been taking, and was much weaker than before.

Her pregnancy was stable, and if there was any movement, the fetus would be miscarried.

The miscarriage resulted in heavy bleeding, and the imperial physician was unable to save the woman, so Princess Leping died.

The Prince Duan's Mansion took its anger out on Wei Wenyuan, believing that he had failed to protect his wife, and began to suppress Wei Wenyuan and the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion in various ways.

Except for the title of Marquis, all other positions of Wei Wenyuan were taken away by the Prince Duan's Mansion.

Wei Wenyuan has been idle at home these years, becoming a useless otaku like Jia She.

But what’s better than Jia She is that Wei Wenyuan is not a lustful person.

In recent years, Mrs. Hou wanted to find another wife for Wei Wenyuan.

However, many families were afraid that their daughters would be killed by the Marquis's mother-in-law like Princess Leping, and were unwilling to marry their daughters into the Marquis's mansion.

The Marquis' wife had no choice but to lower her standards and find a wife for her son from a small family or a concubine's daughter.

But Prince Duan's Mansion has made it clear that whoever marries their daughter to Wei Wenyuan is going against Prince Duan's Mansion.

Who would dare to marry their daughter?

The marquis's wife could only choose a woman for her son from among the maids, even if her son had a concubine's son or daughter.

But the Prince Duan's Mansion was really ruthless. They took advantage of Wei Wenyuan's absence and had someone seriously injure Wei Wenyuan, making it impossible for Wei Wenyuan to make a woman pregnant again.

When the Marquis's wife heard the news, she fainted immediately.

He never got up again after that.

She regretted that her series of actions had harmed her son and left him without a bloodline.

The Wei family’s incense will never be cut off, but none of it belongs to her son.

She didn't want the descendants of her illegitimate sons to inherit her son's incense.

If she had known that everything would develop like this, she would not have stopped her son from marrying Liu Qing.

If my son had married Liu Qing, he would be living a happy life now and would have grandchildren.

but now……

The Marquis's wife died in regret.

Since then, Wei Wenyuan has been in decline until now.

Liu Shu couldn't help but feel sympathy for Wei Wenyuan for a few seconds, but he would not let Liu Chengfeng recognize Wei Wenyuan right now.

It is okay for the father and son to recognize each other, but they must do so in private, and no fourth person must be allowed to know the relationship between Liu Chengfeng and Wei Wenyuan.

Liu Chengfeng: "Well, I'll get to know my biological father first, and then see if I can recognize him."

Liu Shu: "If Wei Wenyuan tells a fourth person about your relationship with him, I will kill that fourth person and make sure Wei Wenyuan can never speak again."

Liu Chengfeng nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

He knew best how decisive his mother was.

The Liu family is doing well, and Liu's father is now a third-rank official.

Zhao's life these years was not as good as before. Liu's father no longer loved her as much as before, but she had enough food and drink and lived a decent life. The youngest child of the Liu family was engaged, but the wedding would be held the year after next.

The other children are married.

Liu Lan married a young Jinshi and followed her husband to leave the capital to take up a post in another place. She did not return to Beijing for many years.

Liu Qing actually entered the palace.

The incident of Liu Shu falling into the water and "dying" happened, and Liu Qing's reputation was affected.

After Liu Qing learned the truth from Old Madam Liu, he realized the power of authority.

Princess Leping dared to attack Liu Shu and her because she relied on the power of Prince Duan's Mansion.

The eldest princess can cause Li to die suddenly because she is a princess.

Liu Qing developed a desire for power; she wanted to possess power.

But how could she, the daughter of a fourth-rank official, have power?
Liu Qing chose to enter the palace.

Her original target was the prince. She wanted to see which prince had a better chance and then find a way to become that prince's woman.

As a result, she performed so well that she was noticed by the emperor and became his concubine.

Liu Qing has been doing quite well in the harem over the years and is now the Imperial Concubine Shu.

However, the emperor was old and unable to make Liu Qing pregnant.

Liu Shu felt that it was just right that Liu Qing didn't have children so that she wouldn't be involved in the fight for the throne.

The sons were fighting in the front court, and the women in the harem were also fighting each other.

Liu Qing has no children, so she is safer from being dragged into the fight.

Liu Shu read all the news in the capital over the years and praised Chun Sheng.

"Well done."

Well done indeed.

Chunsheng has grown very fast in recent years, from a servant who only followed orders to a leading intelligence boss. You can imagine the effort he has put in.

Chunsheng: "Master, there is news from the prince's mansion that they are going to make a big move."

Liu Shu chuckled, "They can't sit still anymore! Well, let's take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Liu Shu whispered some instructions to Chunsheng, and Chunsheng agreed with a gleam in his eyes.

Not long after Chunsheng left, a new visitor came to Liu Shu's yard.

Liu Shu greeted the visitor with a smile: "It has been many years since we last met. Lord Sang is becoming more powerful day by day."

Sang Chuwen said: "Not as good as you."

Liu Shu: "Have you made a decision?"

Sang Chuwen sighed: "I have already boarded your pirate ship and cannot get off. You won't allow me to get off the ship, right?"

If he really wanted to quit, Liu Shu would definitely get rid of him without anyone knowing.

Sang Chuwen, who was once so close to death, cherishes his life very much.

Moreover, he is also ambitious.

Rather than being a noble son who relies on the protection of his stepmother, it is better to work hard to become a founding hero and occupy a place in history books.

Sang Chuwen and Liu Shu looked at each other, with a light of ambition flashing in their eyes.

Liu Heng smiled.

Not long after Sang Chuwen left, Liu Chengfeng came back.

This child went to spy on his father.

He was in a bad mood, probably because he was disappointed with his father.

Liu Shu reached out and touched Liu Chengfeng's head.

Liu Chengfeng said sullenly, "No wonder Mom doesn't want Dad. He really doesn't deserve Mom."

Liu Shu: "He actually still has a lot of good points. He is just being hit too hard now."
