Chapter 1979
Late Ming Dynasty 15
After the meal, Liu Dong led the four people on a leisurely stroll through the capital, showing them more of the city's new sights.
The four of them kept their mouths shut.
The world was too beautiful for them to imagine.
Liu Dong saw the four people's bodies gradually becoming transparent, and knew that they were going back.
Yuan Chengzhi: "Your surname is Liu, you wouldn't happen to be related to the Empress Dowager, would you?"
The person in front of me knows too much.
Liu Tong smiled and said, "I am the same sibling as the Empress Dowager."
The four people: "..."
No wonder.
Yuan Chengzhi: "You figured out our identities all along?"
Liu Tong: "Yeah, you look just like Yuan Chengzhi from here, and you even have the same name."
He turned to He Tieshou: "You too."
The four of them looked embarrassed.
Liu Dong: "Someone wants to see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Youjian and three others appeared in front of Yuan Chengzhi and his group.
Such superb lightness skill...
Yuan Chengzhi boasted that he was no match for any of them.
These four people were the same ones they had seen at the port earlier.
“Father…” Ajiu called out to the young man.
She recognized Zhu Youjian, after all, the person in front of her looked exactly like her father, the emperor, except that he was too young and looked no more than two years older than her.
This really is her father, not her brother.
Zhu Youjian noticed Ajiu's confusion and explained, "The internal energy I cultivate allows me to maintain a youthful appearance."
Zhu Youjian felt quite sorry for his daughter in the other world.
Especially after learning that his daughter's arm was severed by him from another world.
Ajiu saw the loving look in Zhu Youjian's eyes, and tears streamed down her face.
Father!
Her father is dead!
Zhu Youjian raised his hand and patted Ajiu's head, then pulled her aside and asked her in detail about him in the other world.
Xia Xueyi pulled Xia Qingqing to the other side.
He Hongyao also pulled He Tieshou away.
Yuan Chengzhi, Liu Tong, and Liu Yinxia were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Liu Tong stuffed a package into Yuan Chengzhi's arms: "Inside are some potato, sweet potato and corn seeds, and their planting manuals. There are also some books, you can take a look."
Those books were all about progress and basic science and technology.
I wonder what Yuan Chengzhi will do after seeing this?
Liu Dong was really looking forward to it.
It's a pity he couldn't go to Yuan Chengzhi's world and couldn't see what happened next.
Zhu Youjian learned from Ajiu how miserable his other self in the other world was.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had known Liu Yinxia since childhood and even married her, rather than the Zhou family who constantly "admonished" him to please the court officials and to win over a virtuous woman.
What use was Zhou Shi, besides giving birth to sons and daughters for herself?
Being forced to commit suicide on Coal Hill by a traitor is a disgrace to the Zhu family.
I really don't want to admit that person is another version of myself.
As soon as Zhu Youjian returned, he hugged Liu Yinxia tightly: "Xiaxia, thank goodness I have you!"
Seeing his other father embracing another woman, Ajiu felt incredibly conflicted.
But she admired and respected Liu Yinxia.
Compared to other people, her own mother was indeed far inferior. Ajiu gave Liu Yinxia a deep bow, and her figure disappeared before their eyes.
On the other hand, Xia Qingqing wasn't as insightful as Ajiu.
Knowing that his mother was not with his father, he believed that He Hongyao was a third party who had interfered in their relationship.
When Xia Xueyi asked her about the situation in the other world, Xia Qingqing belittled He Hongyao, saying how shameless she was, and vigorously promoted how good the relationship between Jin She Langjun and Wen Yi was.
Xia Xueyi's smile vanished. She no longer had any goodwill towards this woman who shared the same name as her daughter but was not even a fraction as good as her daughter.
At the same time, he despised the Golden Snake Swordsman from another world and felt sorry for He Hongyao from another world.
To avenge her, he took away another woman's innocence, causing her to suffer torture and lose her appearance. Instead of taking responsibility, he even despised her for being shameless.
I feel so guilty.
He knows He Hongyao very well.
He Hongyao is innocent and enthusiastic; when she likes someone, she gives her all.
That wasn't shamelessness; it was genuine sincerity.
The Golden Snake Swordsman actually discarded such a sincere heart as if it were worthless, and instead fell in love with the daughter of his enemy.
That was the bloodline of the enemy who had harmed their entire family. Not only did he not kill them, but he also gave up his hatred for that woman.
Does the Golden Snake Swordsman live up to the expectations of the Xia family?
Ajiu, He Tieshou, and Yuan Chengzhi all received gifts from the elders of this world, but Xia Qingqing, because she was not liked by Xia Xueyi, naturally did not receive any gifts.
Xia Qingqing was furious when she saw that the other three people had received gifts.
Why didn't she?
He Tieshou secretly rolled his eyes.
Why not? Don't you have any self-awareness?
If you keep belittling Xia Xueyi's wife in front of him, how can he possibly give you a gift?
Oh, my poor aunt!
Look at my aunt in the other world, how happy she is!
How did the other aunt win Xia Xueyi's true love?
If her aunt were still alive, she would suggest that her aunt go to another world and learn from another He Hongyao.
It is said that his master was good in every way, except that he had poor taste and fell for such a willful and capricious mistress.
Why not choose Miss Ajiu?
Look how gentle and virtuous Miss Ajiu is!
Yuan Chengzhi led a group of chivalrous heroes out to sea.
With the nautical chart and sphere of influence provided by Liu Dong, Yuan Chengzhi and his group occupied Luzon Island and established a kingdom there.
Yuan Chengzhi studied books and gleaned many insights from them.
Ajiu studied with him, and her thinking changed.
The two of them learn and grow together, and their thoughts become more and more similar.
Xia Qingqing couldn't concentrate on reading at all; she wandered around aimlessly every day, inevitably causing trouble for Yuan Chengzhi.
She was ruthless and made many unforgivable mistakes.
However, out of respect for Yuan Chengzhi, the victims and their families dared not confront Xia Qingqing.
But they kept the hatred in their hearts.
Yuan Chengzhi was increasingly exhausted as he kept cleaning up Xia Qingqing's messes.
Even the best feelings can be worn away.
Ultimately, Xia Qingqing accidentally killed a general's son, and those she had offended united to urge Yuan Chengzhi to severely punish Xia Qingqing.
Yuan Chengzhi couldn't bring himself to kill, but he wanted to give everyone an explanation.
In the end, Yuan Chengzhi sent Xia Qingqing to the ship returning to the Qing Dynasty.
Two years later, with the help of his subordinates and friends, Yuan Chengzhi married Ajiu, and they had a son and a daughter.
Later, Yuan Chengzhi, with advanced weapons and progressive ideas, led his men back to the mainland.
The Qing Dynasty thus collapsed, and Yuan Chengzhi established a constitutional monarchy.
Yuan Chengzhi had his men inquire about Xia Qingqing and learned that she had become a nun. (End of Chapter)
