Chapter 269 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (final) 

That night, after the two shared their emotions, they were on the bed. Yuan Ye told Liu Mingzhu everything about the situation at home. There was only one central idea, filial piety to his mother and love his eldest sister. She didn’t have to care about the rest.  

These words were very in line with Liu Mingzhu’s thoughts. If she could remove the filial piety towards the mother, Liu Mingzhu would be even happier. She was a precious jade. Why should she come to the Yuan family to suffer? 

On the second day, after paying respects to their elders, Mrs. Li took out all the ledgers, matching cards, keys, and other things in the house in front of Mother Yuan and Yuan Dao. She wanted Liu Mingzhu to take over the household affairs.  

Liu Mingzhu smiled and said, “The bride just married into the house. Eldest sister should continue to manage the household affairs since she has been doing so for a long time. Besides, I am young and new here, and I didn’t learn these things when I was at home. I can’t do it.” 

Mrs. Li said, “You are the eldest daughter-in-law, so you should manage the household affairs.”  

Liu Mingzhu asked deliberately, “Why do you say this? Isn’t eldest brother also a legitimate son? Isn’t my husband the second young master in the house?” 

Yuan Dao and the others looked a little embarrassed. Yuan Dao saw that Liu Mingzhu refused to take over managing the household affairs. Not only was he not angry, but he felt that she knew the rules and etiquette. “Since Mrs. Liu said so, then you can still take care of it. After a while, when Mrs. Liu is familiar with the situation in the mansion, we can talk about it again!” 

Seeing this, Mrs. Li could only continue to look after the household affairs. It was just that, every time they saw Liu Mingzhu living a luxurious life and they had to live a miserable life with just monthly interest and silver, it was inevitable that they would feel resentful and whisper a few words to Yuan Dao behind her back. 

Yuan Dao was also a little unhappy in his heart, but as a father-in-law, how could he be so shameless as to ask his daughter-in-law for something? In fact, if Mrs. Liu was a sensible person, she should take the initiative to offer without him opening his mouth. However, Mrs. Liu just pretended to be stupid and Yuan Ye also pretended to be stupid. It was detestable! 

Therefore, in the face of Mrs. Li’s instigation, Yuan Dao treated her coldly. He turned around and went to the study in front. He cherished his life more now, unlike when he was young, when he indulged in beauties. 

Liu Mingzhu’s married life was actually quite good. Yuan Ye was gentle, considerate, and kind to her. After all, her great mother-in-law was separated by one floor and could not control her. The great mother-in-law was now busy looking for a mother-in-law for her eldest sister-in-law. Her great mother-in-law rarely interfered with her affairs. Although her mother-in-law was eccentric, she was not in good health. Most of the time she was lying in bed, unable to move. On the other hand, the eldest sister-in-law was really annoying. She thought that she was an outstanding beauty, so she could be picky. She wasted her time and was still not betrothed. As soon as she entered her room, she glanced around. When she saw something good, she would hint that she wanted it. 

That was Mrs. Li and the eldest daughter-in-law.  

Liu Mingzhu was too lazy to pay attention to her! No matter what they said, she just pretended to be stupid and didn’t understand. 

Yuan Ye seemed to have some opinions. His original intention was to ignore the unreasonable demands of the other people in his family, but he couldn’t ignore mother and eldest sister. They were family after all. Wasn’t it a bit too much for Mingzhu to be like this? 

But he was embarrassed to tell Mingzhu this. After all, Mingzhu was still very generous to him. No matter how precious the pens, ink, paper, inkstones, ancient calligraphy, and paintings were, as long as he wanted it, she would buy it for him. He was not famous yet, and it was not easy to ask too much. When he takes the imperial examination this year and gains a reputation, he could talk about it at that time. 

Now, he could only let his mother and eldest sister be aggrieved. 

It didn’t take long for Yuan Lan’s marriage to finally be settled. She was to be Prince Yong’s side concubine. This was already the best marriage that the Yuan family could find for Yuan Lan. It was said that it was because of the Liu family that this marriage could be accomplished. 

Yuan Lan was also very satisfied. Although Prince Yong was a little older, there were great benefits to marrying him. He knew how to take care of people. Besides, it was a prince’s manor! As long as she could give birth to a boy, she would be well taken-care of for the rest of her life! 

But, when preparing for the dowry, there were difficulties. The Yuan family had been unable to make ends meet over the years, and there was another young master who had not married yet, so the dowry that she could have was limited. 

This dowry was not only unsatisfactory for Yuan Lan herself, but even Yuan Dao didn’t like it. It was too simple.  

Facing Yuan Dao’s accusation, Mrs. Li looked innocent. She took out the ledger and put it in front of Yuan Dao. After seeing it, Yuan Dao had nothing to say.  

Yuan Ye looked at the ledger, but there was nothing he could do. The family really couldn’t get more money. In desperation, Yuan Ye tentatively said something to Liu Mingzhu. 

Liu Mingzhu didn’t say a word. She summoned someone to take her back to Liu family’s house. Yuan Ye hurried to stop her. Liu Mingzhu said angrily, “I shouldn’t have to tell you this. My dad will come to the house and tell father clearly. How can my Liu family buy a dowry for your Yuan family’s daughter?” 

Yuan Ye looked disappointed. “When did I ask the Liu family to pay for the dowry? I just asked you to take out a little bit to show some of our husband and wife’s feelings. She is my eldest sister and she will be marrying into a prince’s manor. Her dowry is too simple. How will eldest sister handle herself in the manor in the future? Why are you so ruthless?” 

Liu Mingzhu sneered and said, “I have all the dowry. Today your eldest sister gets married and you want me to fill her dowry with mine. Tomorrow, if something happens to your Yuan family, do you want me to fix it with my dowry? Even if my father gave me a golden mountain to accompany me, he would not be able to withstand such consumption! Besides, I don’t have a golden mountain as a dowry!” Liu Mingzhu was also very aggrieved. If she was still in the Liu family, she naturally wouldn’t have to care so much. But now, she was no longer the daughter of the Liu family, but a wife of the Yuan family. Besides, her dowry was only so much. The Liu family’s sugar mill was the same as before. Her father gave her 10% of the dividends as a dowry. How could she care so much? 

But now, how was it? Father promised not to use her dowry. Since she got married, all the expenses of this place was hers. She didn’t know it at first, but it was the nurse who reminded her that the 5,000 taels from her dowry that she had brought with her had already mostly been spent within the first half of the year living with the Yuan family! 

She asked around carefully. She found out that the cost of her mother-in-law’s daily ginseng and cinnamon tonic was actually taken from her account.  

Although Liu Mingzhu had been spoiled since childhood, she was not completely ignorant of world affairs. She was just used to being self-centered. She didn’t care about other things and she didn’t want to care. It wasn’t that she didn’t know anything or didn’t understand anything. 

She knew it would be bad if it went on like this.  

Yuan Ye blindly asked her to be filial to her mother-in-law and to love his eldest sister. Liu Mingzhu was not so stupid!  

Yuan Ye was extremely disappointed. He didn’t expect Liu Mingzhu to be such a worldly woman. He felt that the wife in front of him had become so unfamiliar. 

Liu Mingzhu also saw the disappointment in Yuan Ye’s eyes, but the disappointment in her heart was deeper. She also didn’t understand how Yuan Ye had the name of a prodigy when he was young. How could he not even have a scholarly rank after so many years?! There was no distinction between the Yuan family’s legitimate and illegitimate children, and hierarchy was unknown. She could endure all these. But she couldn’t put up with the calculations from the person next to her in bed. 

The Yuan family did not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. Liu Mingzhu insisted on returning to the Liu family and argued for divorce. Liu Qingwu was very angry. At first, she was crying and arguing about marrying Yuan Ye. For this reason, he did not hesitate to offend his younger sister and brothers. Now she wanted to divorce! Did she consider her marriage some sort of child’s play? 

Liu Yuanchen hesitated, but Mrs. Yan did not agree with Liu Mingzhu’s divorce. Aunt divorced because she had property and the ability to support herself.  

What was wrong with Liu Mingzhu?! Don’t think she didn’t know! She had already sent someone to inquire about the situation. Liu Mingzhu’s dowry had almost been used up. This was because the in-law’s family couldn’t support her. She just wanted to leave so that her parents could continue to support her! She sure had such beautiful thoughts! 

Mrs. Yan was forced and Liu Yuanchen looked at the children and hesitated. Younger sister was important, but the children were also his flesh and blood. 

Mrs. Liu-Xie said that if Liu Qingwu promised Liu Mingzhu and Mrs. Li, then they would split up! She didn’t want Liu Mingzhu to be a burden on her sons!  

At this time, Liu Mingzhu found out that she was pregnant. Yuan Ye came to pick her up after learning the news, and Liu Qingwu secretly gave Liu Mingzhu a thousand silver taels. The matter of divorce was abandoned. 

However, this time, in the end, there was a rift between Yuan Ye and Liu Mingzhu. After the two went back, although on the surface they were still the same as before, they both knew in their hearts that they would not be able to go back.  

Liu Mingzhu kept tight control of her dowry, and Yuan Ye devoted himself to studying hard. He wanted to gain a scholarly rank as soon as possible, so as to make a name for himself and to help his current predicament. 

In fact, he had long wanted to take the imperial examination. The gentlemen who had taught him said that with his ability, as long as he participated in the imperial examination, it would not be a problem for him to be in the top three. But it was also strange that every time, at the last moment, something happened in the city, which made him unable to enter the venue. Because of this, he was very distressed. His mother burned incense and worshipped Buddha all year round, but unfortunately it was useless. On the contrary, because of what happened to him, even his maternal family were questioned. After all, if the Su family was really blessed by gods, why was he so unlucky? 

Hopefully this year would be different!  

In West Garden, Su Wanrong was leaning on the bed with a sick face, holding a string of Buddha beads that were said to have been opened by an eminent monk. “Ru’er, bless your younger brother to enter the venue smoothly this time. Then, he can gain a rank! Ru’er, bless your younger brother…” 

After Yuan Lan heard this, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Younger brother, younger brother… Mother only cared about her brother and her mother never thought about her at all. She was even about to marry into the Prince Yong’s Mansion, but the dowry…  

“Mother!” Yuan Lan called softly. 

Su Wanrong didn’t even open her eyes. She continued to recite in a low voice, “Ru’er, bless your younger brother with smooth sailing to get a scholarly rank.”  

“Mother, do you only care about younger brother? Have you ever thought about your daughter?” Yuan Lan couldn’t help but say. The mothers of other families began preparing dowries for their daughters when they were young, but what about her mother? 

“Why don’t you understand? Only if your younger brother is good can you be good!” Su Wanrong opened her tired eyes, her face full of disappointment. “I’ve been sick all these years and I can’t take care of A-Ye, but what about you, the older sister? Have you ever taken care of him? Every time A-Ye is about to take the imperial examination these years, there will be a problem. Have you ever thought about why?” 

“That’s his bad luck! What can I do?” Yuan Lan said with tears in her eyes. She thought that Yuan Ye could stand out in order to support herself, but he was unlucky. What could she do? 

Su Wanrong didn’t want to talk to her any more. Back then, she also thought about preparing a generous dowry for her daughter, but unfortunately, Mrs. Liu divorced before she could do it. With what happened later, she had no time to take care of herself. How could she have that kind of mindset? 

She also understood that this daughter was raised in vain. She couldn’t count on her. If she had time to talk nonsense with her, it was better to talk to Yuan Ru. If Yuan Ru could appear, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything. 

Seeing her like this, Yuan Lan knew that she could not count on her. Since this was the case, then her mother better not come and beg her when she became prosperous in the future!  

Yuan Lan married out with a simple dowry. Since then, there had been no news. 

Yuan Ye was preparing for this year’s imperial examinations with high hopes. He was cautious and did not even take a step out of the door. He didn’t expect that, when the time finally came, there was still a problem. 

He didn’t know what happened that day. When he was queuing up at the entrance of the examination room for the exam and was about to enter, Yuan Ye suddenly lost his footing and fell down the stairs. His head was bleeding and he was carried back to the Yuan Manor. 

Yuan Dao was disheartened when he saw this again. Mrs. Li was also amazed. If she hadn’t seen it, then she wouldn’t even believe it herself. This time it was at the entrance of the exam room!  

This was probably life! This was the real thought in everyone’s heart when they learned that Yuan Ye had suffered. 

As for Su Wanrong… After learning that her son fell at the entrance of the examination room, injured his head and was unable to take the exam again, she spit out a mouthful of blood and finally closed her eyes in despair.  

And all the way until Su Wanrong died of anger, the daughter she looked forward to day and night did not appear. 

After Yuan Ye woke up and faced such a result, he was completely disheartened and became extremely dejected.  

When Liu Mingzhu saw him like this, she was very disgusted. Looking at the current situation of the Yuan family, Liu Mingzhu thoughts on divorce became stronger. She did not want to continue to waste her youth in the Yuan family. Wasn’t it just a divorce? After her aunt divorced, she lived a casual and comfortable life, and she could do it too. 

However, when she touched her slightly bulging belly, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.  

But it didn’t take long for this hesitation to be replaced by a firm resolve.  

A few days later, Liu Qingwu suddenly received news that Liu Mingzhu was dying, and told him to hurry over. 

Liu Qingwu was taken aback. His good daughter who married into the Yuan family would die soon. He and Liu Yuanchen hurried to the Yuan family. They smelled blood before entering the door.  

Yuan Dao stood outside the courtyard with an expressionless face and told Liu Qingwu the details. 

Only then did Liu Qingwu learn that Liu Mingzhu wanted to abort the pregnancy. She mistakenly believed in a quack doctor and took a tiger and wolf medicine and ended up bleeding continuously.  

They invited a doctor to see her, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop.  

When Liu Qingwu heard this, he immediately fainted. 

Liu Yuanchen quickly supported Liu Qingwu, and clamoured for the doctor to come over for treatment. He was worried about his younger sister and his old father, so he was exhausted and incompetent. 

After the doctor gave Liu Qingwu a few injections, Liu Qingwu slowly woke up. However, his eyes were crooked and he couldn’t move half his body. 

The doctor said that this was a sign of a stroke and they had no choice but to go back and ask a famous doctor to take good care of him. Maybe then he could recover. 

Liu Yuanchen had no choice. He quickly escorted his father back to Liu family’s house, and then he went back to the Yuan family. But, as soon as he entered the door, he heard the mansion crying loudly, heartbroken. 

Liu Yuanchen couldn’t take the blow and fainted. 

The Yuan family was afraid that Liu Yuanchen would have a stroke, so they quickly sent him back to the Liu family.  

The facts of the matter were very clear. It was Liu Mingzhu who killed herself and it had nothing to do with the Yuan family. Although Liu Qingwu was sad and angry, and he wanted to settle accounts with the Yuan family, he himself could not move now. The servants were very attentive, but no one listened to his words.  

Liu Yuanchen also wanted to stand up for his younger sister, but without the support of his father, his words were worth nothing at all. 

The Liu and Yuan families reached a tacit agreement. The Liu family brought back Liu Mingzhu’s body and dowry, buried Liu Mingzhu, and no longer pursued this matter.  

Only Yuan Ye, who had endured repeated blows, shut himself inside silently. A few days later, the servants knocked on the door, but there was no one inside.  

The Yuan family sent people to look around, but they could not find Yuan Ye. 

In the end, the Yuan family was handed over to Yuan Shou, who was Mrs. Li’s child. But, Mrs. Li and Yuan Shou felt it was not a good thing. The Yuan family now had nothing. There was Mother Yuan, who was senile and old; she thought that the Yuan family was still held the status of its previous glory. Then, there was Yuan Dao, who was becoming increasingly more eccentric and paid great attention to preserving his health.  

Mrs. Li and Yuan Shou looked at each other and saw despair in each other’s eyes. 

Not long after Liu Mingzhu died, Liu Qingwu was dying. He kept looking outside the door. Mrs. Liu-Xie knew what he wanted, sighed, and sent a letter to Li Su.  

After receiving the letter, Li Su was speechless. After thinking about it, she decided to see Liu Qingwu one last time. She just didn’t know if she could make it in time if she hurried back now. 

After Immortal Stays learned about this matter, he said, “Mother, I have a way to travel thousands of miles in one day. Just close your eyes and don’t open them. Only open your eyes when your son says you can open them.” Under the guidance of his master, he had already learned the art of riding a sword, just in time for him to use it. 

Li Su nodded repeatedly. “Okay! I will cover my eyes with gauze!” Li Su thought it was an immortal art that could not be known to outsiders. In fact, Immortal Stays was just afraid that she would be frightened if she opened her eyes suddenly. 

Immortal Stays nodded. 

Li Su then explained things to Jinzhu and the others. Immortal Stays covered Li Su’s eyes with a gauze, summoned the blue-green sword given to him by his master, floated it in the air, and then supported Li Su while jumping up. They stood on the flying sword.  

This was the first time that Jinzhu and the others saw the abilities of their young master, and their eyes widened with excitement. Only then did they believe that their young master was probably really an immortal. 

It took one night for Li Su and Immortal Stays to arrive at Jade City. Afraid of causing a stir, Immortal Stays quietly landed where no one else was and then took back the sword.  

Then, the mother and son went to Liu family’s house. 

When Liu Qingwu saw Li Su and her son arrive, his eyes widened. Ten years later, Qingyun’s appearance had not changed at all, and neither had Immortal Stays! What was a pearl and what was rubbish was something he only understood when he saw it today. If Mingzhu had met Immortal Stays earlier, she probably would not have insisted on marrying Yuan Ye, and she would not have died prematurely.  

He regretted it so much! 

Liu Qingwu pointed at Liu Yuanchen with trembling fingers, and then pointed at Li Su, intending to entrust Liu Yuanchen to Li Su’s care.  

Li Su just pretended not to see that. She had no choice but to comfort Liu Qingwu to recover from his illness.  

Liu Qingwu let out a cry from his throat, and motioned Liu Yuanchen to come forward with his eyes. 

Liu Yuanchen was a little embarrassed in front of his father’s official wife and his elder brother, and he didn’t think that his aunt had to look after him, so he refused to go forward.  

Liu Qingwu looked at Liu Yuanchen, frustrated at the fact that Liu Yuanchen failed to meet his expectations. 

Li Su saw that he still wanted to plot against her and was a little speechless. Could it be that his illegitimate sons and daughters were to be her responsibility?  

Mrs. Liu-Xie looked at Li Su apologetically. “Younger sister!” Your older brother is confused. Don’t mind him.  

Li Su smiled back. 

In the end, Liu Qingwu did not wait for Li Su’s guarantee. He could only leave the world with thoughts of his daughter and worries about his son.  

Li Su waited until Liu Qingwu’s funeral was over before leaving Jade City. 

The day when she was about to leave Jade City, Yuan Dao suddenly appeared. “Qingyun, don’t go! We have missed so many years. Now we are old, don’t…” The last two words Yuan Dao wanted to say remained unsaid after he saw Li Su’s appearance. 

Ten years later, he was already old, but the other party was still so young and beautiful. 

Li Su glanced at him blankly and said to Immortal Stays, “Ignore him. Let’s go!”  

Originally, the mother and son planned to go out of the city by carriage first, and then after they left the city, use the sword technique to finish the journey. But, after seeing Yuan Dao, Immortal Stays changed his mind. 

In front of everyone’s eyes, Immortal Stays summoned the blue-green sword directly from his sleeve, then took Li Su’s hand and jumped on it. The mother and son disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.  

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and it took a long time for them to react. By the time they reacted, they were long gone. 

Yuan Dao’s insides ached in regret. If he had known that Immortal Stays would become an immortal, he would not have gotten Su Wanrong as his equal wife in the first place! He really regretted it! 

Immortal Stays was paying attention to his mother’s reaction. He didn’t expect that Li Su was not afraid when standing on the flying sword, but instead was very excited.  

Li Su was overjoyed. She finally experienced the feeling of flying in her life. It was so exciting.  

When Immortal Stays saw this, he also smiled. 

The mother and son returned to the mountain and resumed their old life. Immortal Stays focussed on cultivation. Li Su expanded her business territory while doing good deeds and accumulating merit for her son.  

Perhaps it was because she did a lot of good deeds that, not only did she accumulate merit for her son, but Li Su herself also benefitted a lot. It was not until the age of ninety-nine that she died in the company of Immortal Stays. Before she died, Li Su left a will. All her property would be donated in Immortal Stays’ name. 

Immortal Stays’ cultivation base was already at the Golden Core Stage. Originally, he could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage very quickly, but once he broke through the Nascent Soul Stage, he could no longer stay in the mortal world. So, for so many years, in order to accompany his mother, he had been suppressing his cultivation and refused to break through.  

After burying his mother, under the blessing of great merit, Immortal Stays finally succeeded in breaking through and entered the Nascent Soul stage. Under the gaze of everyone, he bowed and soared through the clouds, leaving the mortal world.
