Zhao Qingshan was pleasantly surprised. When Wu Baolian was alive, Zhao Qingshan and his wife had always had a good relationship. He hadn't remarried over the years, partly for the sake of their two children and partly because he couldn't forget their past.
Over the years, Zhao Qingshan always felt that Wu Baolian had never left him or this family. Countless times in his dreams, Wu Baolian's voice, appearance, and smile were still vivid before his eyes.
It turned out that... it was all thanks to the ancestral wooden box in his family. Baolian was reluctant to leave, and her soul had been staying in the wooden box!
Fortunately, I have never felt sorry for Bao Lian in these years, otherwise, I would really be sorry for Bao Lian's love. Zhao Qingshan was a little surprised.
Zhou Yuanyuan taught Zhao Qingshan a soul-nourishing spell, which he recited several times daily into the wooden box whenever he had free time. For three years, Zhao Qingshan had practiced without interruption, witnessing firsthand the spell's magic. Wu Baolian transformed from a faint, dazed figure into a faint, dark shadow. Zhou Yuanyuan planned to wait until Wu Baolian regained her memory before allowing her to enter reincarnation. After all, a solidified soul offered a better chance of a good rebirth.
Zhou Jiasheng graduated from university this year. True to his talent, he managed to shorten his seven-year undergraduate and graduate studies by four years. However, after graduating with a master's degree, Zhou Jiasheng chose not to find a job but to continue his doctoral studies.
Zhou Jiasheng, having been tricked by Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual energy, has become wiser in this life. Before he was twenty, he had already achieved several scientific breakthroughs in physics. He is now a "national treasure" expert and a key protected figure in the state, with a security clearance even higher than Zhou Zhixin's.
Yu Xiaohan had moved to Kyoto a month earlier, living next door to Zhao Qingshan. The focus of Yu Group's business had begun shifting to China, where Yu Jewelry had opened numerous branches. Yu Xiaohan hired a CEO to manage the company's affairs, freeing up most of his time and energy to spend with his family.
Qian Yuxin's health had always been poor. Previously, supporting her younger brother, Qian Yucheng, had damaged her vital energy. While the Qian family's feng shui formation was still in place, it absorbed the luck and vitality of outsiders, maintaining the family's fortune and, incidentally, Qian Yuxin's vitality. This was how Qian Yuxin appeared to be just like an ordinary person.
After Zhou Yuanyuan destroyed the Feng Shui formation, Qian Yuxin suffered a backlash and died less than a year later. Qian Yuxin felt that the person she felt most sorry for in her life was Yu Meiru. Before her death, Qian Yuxin gave all her property to Yu Meiru.
In addition to her shares in the Yu family, Qian Yuxin also owned two jade mines in MD Country. These jade mines, both of high quality, served as Qian Dabao's dowry to Qian Yuxin, as well as a way out. Qian Dabao was taking precautions, fearing that if the feng shui formation were exposed, Yu Xiaohan would resent the Qian family and Qian Yuxin. Qian Dabao, with his foresight, knew that with Yu Xiaohan's skills, it would be easy for Qian Yuxin to suffer a loss in the divorce.
Yu Xiaohan is not as narrow-minded as Qian Dabao thinks. Yu Xiaohan is very open-minded. In life, every sip and bite is predestined.
For years, Yu Xiaohan had endured immense pressure as a son-in-law. A poor boy, the Qian family held no ambition for him, and such a generous favor would have filled him with trepidation. However, upon learning the truth about Qian Yuxin's marriage, Yu Xiaohan felt reassured. He had contributed his own fortune over the years, and the Qian family had given him the opportunity to realize his ambitions; neither owed the other anything. Yu Xiaohan could use the Qian family's wealth with a clear conscience.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't interfere with Qian Yuxin's affairs. If she wanted to save her, a Soul-Enhancing Pill could have fixed her broken body. But Xiaoyu said that the laws of nature have their own rules, and Zhou Yuanyuan's intervention to help Qian Yuxin might not be a good thing for her.
The Qian family's feng shui formation damaged the fortunes of many people. Although Qian Yuxin made timely remedial measures and made certain compensation to the victims, the other members of the Qian family had already died. The backlash of the Qian family's feng shui formation could only be borne by Qian Yuxin.
If Zhou Yuanyuan had rescued Qian Yuxin, the heavens would have been powerless against her, and who knows which of her relatives would be punished for the Qian family's evil deeds. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't help Qian Yuxin, even though her life was at stake. In comparison, Zhou Yuanyuan felt she wasn't that great. Even if there was a one in a hundred thousand chance of sacrificing a relative's life for someone she didn't know well, she wouldn't dare try. Besides, karma always follows cause, and the evil deeds committed by the Qian family would indeed require Qian Yuxin to pay with her own life to quell them.
After Qian Yuxin's death, Yu Xiaohan simply moved his family to Kyoto. He didn't sell the mansion on Hong Kong Island. Under Xiaoyu's guidance, Zhou Yuanyuan set up a spirit-gathering formation for Yu Xiaohan's mountaintop mansion. He figured that in a couple of years, the haze within the Yu family mansion would be completely dissipated by the gathered spiritual energy.
Yu Xiaohan still had feelings for Qian Yuxin. He moved this time to avoid Gu Jing being alone in the mansion and causing him grief, and also to enjoy some family time while he was still alive. After all, Yu Meiru and her family were in Kyoto and rarely had time to visit Hong Kong Island. After Yu Xiaohan retired, he had more time and naturally wanted to spend more time with his grandchildren.
Among the four children in the Zhao family, Zhao Yu has the best relationship with his grandfather Yu Xiaohan. As soon as Yu Xiaohan came, Zhao Yu stayed at Yu's house all day and didn't even go home.
Yu Meiru saw that Zhao Yu was really outrageous, so she caught him and gave him a good beating the day before yesterday. The Zhao family has been in a low mood for the past two days.
On this day, Zhou Yuanyuan had a rare moment of free time, so she went to her grandfather's house to try to persuade Yu Meiru. Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Guohui didn't know why Yu Meiru was angry, and Yu Meiru herself didn't say anything.
It's strange to say, although Yu Meiru is older than Zhou Yuanyuan, she always treats Zhou Yuanyuan as her best friend. Even if there are things she cannot say to her elder sister-in-law Zhao Yunxiang, Yu Meiru will discuss them with Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan, did you know? The boy from the Wen family came back yesterday." As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan arrived at the Zhao family's house, a smile finally appeared on Yu Meiru's gloomy face. After Zhou Yuanyuan greeted Zhao Qingshan and the others, Yu Meiru pulled Zhou Yuanyuan into the room to talk in private.
"Huh?" Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the "Wen kid" Yu Meiru was referring to was Wen Ziqing. Ever since Feng Xueying and her mother-in-law came to the Wen family and demanded a different betrothal, Zhao Qingshan had unilaterally canceled the engagement. Wen Yiran had gone to the Zhao family several times afterward, but hadn't been able to get Zhao Qingshan to relent.
Although Wen Yiran was anxious, he couldn't do anything about the stubborn Zhao Qingshan. Wen Ziqing hadn't given him any information, and Wen Yiran was so anxious that he couldn't even eat.
