Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
I had located Liu Yun and Liu Ling only after much difficulty.
In the end, they also died under the threats of my political opponents.
There was also the Second Prince. Oh, no. He was already the Emperor at that time.
1 helped him to ascend to the throne, but I also committed too many murders and triggered public anger.
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, he distanced himself from me.
Even when political opponents attacked me, he no longer defended me.
Despite this, 1 didn’t really need his protection.
I knew that at that time, the only thing I could still do for His Majesty was to die in order to illustrate his wisdom.
Thus, that night, when the assassin came to assassinate me, 1 could have dodged, but 1 didn’t.
What was the point of a person without tomorrow and hope like me continuing to live in this world?
It would be better to help His Majesty by dying, thereby repaying his kindness one last time.
To a person whose heart was dead, death was not that scary. In fact, it even made me feel that I had been set free.
However, when 1 opened my eyes, I found that 1 was alive again.
I had returned to the day after 1 turned eighteen and injured my leg. It was also the day that the fat woman had an accident.
At this moment, my Mother and younger brother and sister were still alive! Everything had started over!
I was shocked, then ecstatic!
I was waiting for the fat woman to fall to her death and then I could pull myself together and change the fate of my previous life.
To my shock, the fat woman did not die this time!
1 was very surprised and wondered why the development of my current life was different from my previous life.
Thereafter, I controlled my temper and observed that fat woman.
At the same time, 1 was also looking for an opportunity to get rid of her.
However, the result surprised me even more.
This was because based on my discovery, that fat woman might also not be the same person as before.
Yes, Qin Sanya had changed a lot.
Although she still looked at me with that disgusting gaze, she was no longer forcing her will on me and compelling me like before.
She, who had always been lazy, seemed to have changed into a different person. She suddenly became diligent.
She no longer spoke harshly to Mother and my siblings. In fact, she suddenly treated them well.
She knew how to identify Chinese yam and Chinese Toon sprouts. She also knew how to weave fishing nets and straw sandals. She knew how to hunt, and she could even tell stories…
She was much stronger than before, and her temper had also changed.
She did not hesitate to rush out to quarrel with the Wang family. In fact, she was able to completely subdue the most shrewish woman in the village.
She even used her maiden family’s connections to start the business of delivering goods to the Fortune Mansion.
Thereafter, she even borrowed money from her maiden family and earned money to hire a doctor for me.
All in all, there were signs that the person in Qin Sanya’s body was very likely not the same person as the one in her previous life.
When 1 found out that there was still hope for my leg to be healed and that she could take care of my family during this period, 1 stopped thinking about killing her.
It was not that I was afraid of harming innocent people, but 1 wanted to make use of her.
I must admit that 1 was not a good person.
Hah! I was not a good person, to begin with, wasn’t I?
How could a cruel official whose hands were covered in blood and who was cursed by all as the number one crafty sycophant in the Great Jin State be a good person?
I just wanted to use her and then get rid of her or abandon her when the time was right.
At first, 1 had indeed planned to do so.
However, 1 watched her leave early and return late every day, working tirelessly for my family time and time again.
When she bought something good, she thought of me, Mother, and my younger siblings first, and put herself last.
Unknowingly, my heart softened.
Moreover, 1 didn’t know when it started, but we started to talk more and more.
She told me many stories, all of which 1 had never heard before.
Those stories were either bizarre or full of wonder, but without exception, they were all very exciting.
In fact, I suspected that it was very likely that she came from another world.
Thus, that night, I asked her directly.
I thought that she would try to hide.
In the end, she admitted it.
After the initial shock, I went along with her assumption and admitted to being the person she thought 1 was.
Hehe! She thought that I was from that world, just like her.
That woman looked smart but also seemed gullible.
Following that, 1 probed her about the situation in her previous world.
Only after asking did 1 realize how magical that world was.
Yes, it was magical.
Many people in that world actually had special abilities, or in the words of the people of our era, they possessed the ability to cast spells.
Some spells could control water, fire, and lightning. Some could affect people’s minds while others could instantly heal injuries.
There were also people like her who had boundless strength. On her end, based on my presumed identity, she guessed that 1 could predict the future.
I secretly guessed that the world in her previous life was either heaven or hell.
She called that world “Apocalyptic World,” and there was a kind of monster called “Zombie.”
I thought that world was more likely hell.
Therefore, I was most likely married to a ghost from hell, a ghost that wasn’t too smart.
A vicious and evil, crafty sycophant and a female ghost from hell seemed to be quite compatible. Haha!
Ever since I found out about her identity, I realized that not only did 1 not reject her so much, 1 was actually somewhat attracted to her.
I couldn’t resist the urge to feel concern for her.
In the end, I decided that after my family had settled down, I could refrain from taking action against her.
Of course, before that, I still had to continue using her. At the same time, 1 was also helping her.
After all, if the trajectory of my previous life did not change, the famine and locust plague would still occur. There was also the war disaster, which was destined to happen as it did previously.
Just like in my previous life, I didn’t want to bring my family to flee the famine with the villagers, even though she was here in this life and she was definitely able to protect my entire family.
There were still a few months before the famine and locust plague. As long as we could earn enough money, we could move to town. Thereafter, we would be able to stock up on food in advance to survive.
As for the war disaster, as long as we chose a suitable location for the courtyard house and were closer to the western town gate, we wouldn’t be affected so much.
The war disaster wouldn’t last long anyway. As long as we didn’t go out, we might be fine.
Even if something happened, 1 believed that she alone would be able to solve the problem.
After all, she was a female ghost, the kind with infinite strength.
Hehe! I suddenly felt that having such an obedient hatchet woman by my side was better than using my own hands and feet.
So, when she proposed to save money to build a house, I objected.
I even suggested that we go to town to buy a courtyard house.
She was in a difficult position, but she agreed to my suggestion without even arguing.
She was really obedient to me.
Over the next few days, I saw her worrying about making money.
After all, buying a courtyard house in town was much more expensive than building a house in the village.
While I was secretly gloating, I also finally took action.
Yes, I never thought of asking her to earn money to buy a courtyard house.
Even if she could endure hardship and her ability to earn money was much stronger than the other villagers, it was unrealistic to expect her to earn enough money to buy a courtyard house in a short period of time.
Whereas I could actually earn enough. This was because 1 had the memories of my past life.
In my previous life, after I became famous, 1 collected many sole-copy books because of my hobby..
