Qi Huaian thought it was more important to get the business done first, so he frowned and said to the timid Chen Chi, "Okay, we've found the way, go ahead."
He really didn't want to see this man even once more.
Hearing this, Chen Chi turned around and left without hesitation. In his heart, his ex-wife was a thing of the past many years ago. Now, he has a new life, and everything in the past is just like a cloud of smoke.
He doesn't care whether it's the ancestors who have passed away many years ago or Chen Yao who has treated them as spilled water. After all, the present is more important to him.
If Qi Huaian knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would probably not be able to help but hit him again. He would not feel relieved unless he beat up this cold-hearted and irresponsible man.
Chen Yao looked at Chen Chi's quickly disappearing back, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
System: "Little Unlucky Guy Props, swoosh~"
Chen Yao: “6.”
…
The master specially invited by Qi Huaian handled the process of relocating the corpses very smoothly and meticulously.
After everything was settled, a group of people left the hillside in a mighty procession and came to the Shen family again.
The master also held a special ceremony at the Shen family, and then he and Shen Chi took away Qi Qingyun's tablet and other items before leading everyone away.
Qi Huaian left a few of his own people and asked them to work with Shen Chi to handle Chen Yao's household registration transfer, and then followed the team.
On the same day, Qi Qingyun's new grave was moved. They chose a place for her not far from the late old lady Qi.
The tombstone made for her was carved in advance by someone. I wonder how much better it is than the original one in the sinking pool.
…
A few days later, the Qi family's grand move caused a lot of discussion among people in North City.
In particular, the incident in which Qi Huaian went to Qingshui Village and beat Chen Chi half to death was widely discussed, with some people praising him and others criticizing him.
Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Zhang Huiyi, a lady dressed exquisitely and luxuriously, dropped the teacup in her hand to the ground with a harsh sound after hearing the news that the Qi family had found Qi Qingyun.
However, after hearing that Qi Qingyun was no longer there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite this, she ended up feeling uneasy for the day.
At night, when Zhang Huiyi was preparing to go to bed, she heard the maid report that the Marquis had gone to Concubine Liu's courtyard. Her face darkened and she lay down on the bed with a frown.
Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, it’s Aunt Liu again…
After all these years, he still prefers women with the same delicate and charming temperament as Qi Qingyun...
As she thought about it, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and her mind couldn't help but think of her and Qi Qingyun when they were young.
At that time, although she was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, she had fallen to the point where she had to compete with her half brothers and half sisters for her father's favor.
But her good sister, Qi Qingyun, is completely different.
The Qi family didn't have any scheming concubines, and Qi Qingyun didn't have any half-brothers or half-sisters. Plus, she was the youngest daughter, the apple of everyone's eye, and was loved and pampered.
It can be said that because of this, she has always been jealous of Qi Qingyun in her heart, and even wished she could switch identities with her, so that she could be the one loved by her family and Qi Qingyun could experience her pain.
Later on, there was another thing that made her feel extremely jealous of Qi Qingyun, that is, marriage.
At that time, Qi Qingyun, when she was out riding horses with her brother Qi Huaian, unexpectedly met a man. The man became interested in her and even took the initiative to approach her step by step until he captured her heart and proposed to the Qi family.
That person is her, Zhang Huiyi's current husband, Marquis Yongchang, Xie Jingyan.
At that time, Marquis Yongchang was still the crown prince. He was handsome, suave, and of noble status. There were many women in the entire North City who wanted to marry him, including her.
After Xie Jingyan went to the Qi family to ask for Qi Qingyun's hand in marriage, she could no longer suppress the jealousy in her heart, and a bold plan of murder came to her mind.
After that, Qi Qingyun finally disappeared from her sight completely, and she... because of her identity as Qi Qingyun's close friend, she was able to easily approach the heartbroken Xie Jingyan, and then imitated Qi Qingyun's temperament, gaining his trust step by step.
It took her nearly two years before Xie Jingyan finally came to propose marriage.
However, perhaps it was because God saw that everything was going too smoothly for her and wanted to make things difficult for her, but on the wedding day, when they were about to spend the wedding night, the drunken Xie Jingyan accidentally told her the truth about their marriage.
[Zhang Huiyi, your father is truly ruthless. To curry favor with our family, he even suggested that your concubine's sister come along on the day of his legitimate daughter's wedding.]
[Heh, I, Xie Jingyan, am not someone who can chew on anything.]
"But your family is truly powerful. They even give away legitimate and illegitimate daughters as if they were benefits. Don't you know that? Your father secretly gave my old man so many benefits in order to marry you into our family..."
[However, since you've already married into our family, our family can guarantee you a lifetime of prosperity and wealth...]
…
Thinking about the past, Zhang Huiyi couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.
All her beautiful fantasies about love were shattered on her wedding day, and it was Xie Jingyan who shattered them personally.
Oh, to ensure her a lifetime of wealth and glory?
If he had married Qi Qingyun, would he have said such words to Qi Qingyun on the wedding day?
How ironic...
The result of her two years of hard work was not as good as the benefits her father gave her.
Xie Jingyan ultimately had no feelings for her at all.
…
The night gradually deepened...
Zhang Huiyi closed her eyes tiredly.
The wind outside the window was blowing hard, knocking against the doors and windows, which sounded inexplicably creepy.
Zhang Huiyi couldn't sleep anymore and opened her eyes again.
In the room, a few candles were burning, flickering and swaying.
Ever since she harmed Qi Qingyun, she had to have candlelight by her side to sleep peacefully at night.
Therefore, Xie Jingyan would almost never come to her place if he could avoid it. Throughout the year, he would only come a few times to deal with the matter, doing nothing but sleeping with his head covered to avoid the light from the candle.
Despite this, she still couldn't extinguish the candlelight, because in the dark night, she would always involuntarily think of Qi Qingyun, whom she had killed.
With the light of candlelight, Qi Qingyun's ghost would never be able to get close to her.
Thinking of this, a smug smile flashed across her lips.
However, the next second——
