Li Yan didn’t go to the Pei family’s house after leaving the government office. She didn’t even want to get her clothes anymore. Instead, she returned to her own house.

Now that she had her own house, a shop, and a farmstead, and gold ingots in her hand, she didn’t have to worry about food or clothes. There was no telling how comfortable her life would be in the future. The things she left in the Pei family’s house were for them.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt smug.

Fortunately, she was smart back then. After buying the house, she transferred the gold ingots to the new house.

Early the next morning, Pei Xuanxin packed Li Yan’s things and asked someone to send them over.

Pei Xuanxin’s neighbors quickly found out about his and Li Yan’s divorce.

Pei Xuanxin didn’t hide anything and told them that Li Yan had accepted someone else’s things. He said that from now on, he had nothing to do with Li

Yan.

It was precisely because of Pei Xuanxin’s decisiveness and boldness that he dodged the bullet.

Half a month later, a huge corruption case happened in the capital.

The emperor was furious and asked someone to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Many officials were found to have accepted bribes and sent to prison.

Pei Xuanxin was no exception.

After knowing that her son had been captured, Mrs. Pei fainted from fear.

Pei Xuanxin had no choice but to ask the neighbors to help take care of his old mother.

The surrounding neighbors knew that pel xuanxin had been Implicated because of what Li Yan had accepted previously, so they all sympathized with him and agreed to help him take care of his mother.

At this moment, Li Yan was still living her rich life. She even hired a maid and an old servant.

When she found out that Pei Xuanxin had been imprisoned, she even gloated and said that he deserved it.

Unfortunately, she had no idea that her good days were over.

After Pei Xuanxin was captured, he told the authorities everything he knew.

After the higher-ups confirmed that what Pei Xuanxin said was the truth, they let him go.

Firstly, Pei Xuanxin didn’t know who had given him the things.

Secondly, Pei Xuanxin had never seen or taken these things.

Thirdly, Pei Xuanxin had never used money for bribery. Moreover, that money had fallen into the hands of Pei Xuanxin’s right from the beginning.

Therefore, on account of Pei Xuanxin’s diligence, the officials only removed him from his official position and let him leave.

Pei Xuanxin was safe, but Li Yan was captured by the officials.

Not only were the gold ingots confiscated, but the house, shop, and farmstead she had bought had also been confiscated.

Li Yan returned to her original state and became a person with nothing.

Even the servants she had hired had stolen their indentures and run away.

Although Pei Xuanxin no longer had an official position, his former superior admired him very much. Thinking about how he was already divorced, he wanted his illegitimate daughter to marry Pei Xuanxin.

As long as Pei Xuanxin was willing to be his son-in-law, he could help Pei Xuanxin get reinstated.

After Pei Xuanxin received the hint from the higher-ups, he thought for a day and night before finally agreeing to this marriage.

After all, he had studied hard for so many years. He didn’t want all his years of hard work to be ruined because of Li Yan.

Besides, he was no longer the ignorant official he used to be.

With such a father-in-law, his official career would be much smoother in the future.

When Li Yan wanted to go back and look for Pei Xuanxin, she learned that Pei Xuanxin had already moved away.

After that, when Li Yan saw Pei Xuanxin again, he was wearing a groom’s wedding dress and riding a horse to marry a new person.

On the other hand, Li Yan was already penniless and had no choice but to beg on the streets.

Everything had clearly been going well and she had already snatched Li Xiaoran’s good luck. Why was everything turn out different afterwards?

She was indignant! Her fate shouldn’t be like this!

The heavens seemed to have heard Li Yan’s thoughts. At this moment, a man appeared in front of her.

The man stared at Li Yan and asked, “Do you want to have a luxurious life too?” “Yes, I do!” Li Yan said firmly.

The man in front of Li Yan was her last chance, so she didn’t hesitate at all. She only wanted to seize this opportunity.

“Alright, as long as you’re willing to do as I say, I’ll guarantee you a good life and wealth! Are you willing to?” the man asked again.

“Yes, yes. If you can help me live a good life, I’m willing to do anything! ” Li Yan said.

“Alright, follow me!” The man looked at Li Yan in satisfaction and gestured for her to follow.

Li Yan quickly followed and stumbled towards her last hope.

Luo Cheng was writing in the study when a messenger pigeon flew in.

Luo Cheng took out the note from the messenger pigeon’s leg and smeared it with a potion, revealing the words.

After Luo Cheng read the contents of the note carefully, he immediately sneered.

He really didn’t expect to receive such good news!

However, to Luo Cheng’s surprise, Li Yan and Pei Xuanxin divorced so quickly, and Pei Xuanxin actually married someone else.

This was good. It would save him the trouble of thinking about people he shouldn’t.

As for Li Yan, Luo Cheng had expected her to end up like that.

She had ill intentions and never contributed anything, but she wanted to reap the gains. How could there be free lunch?!

Fortunately, he married Li Xiaoran back then and didn’t marry Li Yan.

Otherwise, who knew how much trouble Li Yan would have caused him?

However, when he saw the news that someone had taken Li Yan away, Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes.

For some reason, Luo Cheng felt that this matter wasn’t a good thing for them.

At night, Luo Cheng told Li Xiaoran about these two people.

Li Xiaoran wasn’t surprised.

With Li Yan’s personality, nothing good would come from it.

Did Li Yan really think that by snatching her marriage, she could live a good life?

Li Yan wasn’t her.

No matter what environment she was in, she could rely on her own abilities to live a good life. Was Li Yan the same?

No!

Li Yan only knew how to take things instead of contributing, and she definitely wouldn’t change her ways.

Therefore, everything was predestined right from the beginning.

No matter who Li Yan chose, as long as her personality didn’t change, she would never have a good ending!

“Xiaoran, I keep feeling that the man who took Li Yan away has ill intentions. I have a feeling that Li Yan will definitely cause trouble for us in the future!” Luo

Cheng said..
