“Well, after that, I have received the academicians of the two academies. It was the most glorious moment of my life, and then I died. Then, I was reincarnated here as Yan Qixun.”

“Ugh…” Yan Lingyu did not feel sad for Yan Qixun’s misfortune and could not help but be happy.

Yan Qixun was speechless. “As expected, one can only compare with others to realize that the misfortune of oneself is not that bad. I don’t have any regrets. My parents were soldiers, and I was also a soldier. The three of us sacrificed our lives for the country. 

“The remaining family members were my uncle, who raised me. However, he had his own family and was a rich man. He had no worries in his life, so I had nothing to worry about. Therefore, with a genius like me around, although our family is going through difficult times now, I will let you live a luxurious life. 

“We are now a family with loving parents and respectful brothers. This is better than anything else. The past life is all in the past. We should look forward, right?” When they saw the smugness on her face, everyone burst with joy.

Gongyu Mingxi went through war during her middle age. Invaders destroyed her country and killed her family. Otherwise, she would not have written a magnificent poem titled “A Hero in Life, A Hero in Death”. She saluted those who sacrificed their lives for their country.

However, as a parent, what she cared about the most was her children’s well-being and happiness. It was one thing for their second son to be immortal in his past life, but they were sad for their third daughter, who died at age ten. They figure that Yan Qixun had lived to forty, but no one was mentioned other than her parents and uncle. Gongyu Mingxi could not help but ask her, “You never gotten married?”

Yan Qixun was stunned but quickly touched her face and answered, “Mother, let alone getting married, I’ve never been in a relationship. I was too busy. I didn’t have the time.”

Even if she had the time, there was no one suitable for her based on her work environment. During her schooling period, she was still too young to date. When she was working, most of her colleagues were already married. Forget about being in a relationship. Yan Qixun didn’t even have any crush before! 

Seeing that she was still single in her thirties, her uncle felt hopeless to hope that she would start a family. He went overboard and introduced her young man. Yan Qixun was in the military and was a Lieutenant General. For her to be with a young man? It was ridiculous! 

This almost angered her aunt to death. Even her younger cousin, who was in his teens, rolled his eyes at his father for a few days. Yan Qixun complained to her father about this arrangement. Even though her father was deeply concerned about his daughter’s marriage, he still scolded his brother.

Gongyu Hao did not think much of Yan Qixun’s past life when she was in her thirties and had yet to get married— the immortals did not care about this. Out of a thousand immortals in the Heavenly Court, 999 were single. The risk of an intimate relationship was too high. God Erlang’s mother was also a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court. She had a secret relationship, and she was being detained and imprisoned.

Gongyu Mingxi, Yan Lingsu, and Yan Lingyu were a little surprised.

Yan Qixun, who could read their expressions, smiled and said, “In our era, it was a thousand years after the Song dynasty. The Royal family was long gone, and the government, the party, governed the country. The people were electing leaders. 

“In everything, everyone was equal. Both men and women were equal. Women went to school and worked like men. Entering school was compulsory regardless of whether they were men or women. They had to receive nine years of mandatory education in the country. Therefore, no one in the country could not read. After studying for nine years, they would choose to work or continue their higher education based on their circumstances.

“Just like me, many women chose not to get married in their careers. No matter which industry they were in, many women stood at the peak of the world. Because of the advancement of technology, people were living quite well. At least in our country, more than ten years before my death, we have eliminated absolute poverty. 

“No one died of starvation due to a lack of food and clothing. To be honest, all the ordinary people who had a bit of family background lived a more comfortable life than the noble families now.”

Other things aside, just the lack of air conditioning made a big difference in the quality of life. Thinking about how she was freezing for the day, Yan Qixun was very depressed. She didn’t have the desire to continue. She was too lazy to continue and said, “I’ll tell you guys more in the future.”

However, when she thought about how miserable her family was now, Yan Qixun cheered up and said, “In the future, our family will have a mother who can take care of us, a second brother who know martial arts, and a third sister who can treat the sick. There’s nothing that we should be scared about.”

She didn’t mention that she could leave intellectual matters to her third sister. The Third Sister, Yan Lingsu, was the best in the entire family in terms of scheming. In terms of scheming, she was the best of the male and female protagonists in fiction novels. Yan Lingsu could be the mastermind who could take one step at a time, manipulate everyone, calculate her death, and even kill her enemies after death. She was so meticulous that even the male protagonist was afraid of her.

Gongyu Mingxi smiled and asked, “Then what can you do?” 

Yan Qixun had a disdainful expression and said, “Mother, I’ve said so much, but you still don’t understand? With my abilities and thousands of years of human knowledge, I am standing on the top of the world. It’s up to me to support my family.”

Gongyu Mingxi was a little proud. Although she wasn’t sure if her daughter was bragging, she was just like her daughter when it came to boasting. She was pretty good at it.

“Alright, from now on, I’ll drink and play cards. When I’m free, I’ll read, write, and draw. It will be up to my daughter to support me financially.”

“Just you wait! I’ll support your financial needs, and you’ll live a better life than the empress in the palace.” Yan Qixun did not feel any pressure at all. “That’s all for me. Lingyu, it’s your turn.”

On this day, Yan Lingyu’s mood went like a roller-coaster. Her biological mother was a talented woman, her second brother was an immortal, her third sister was a miracle doctor, and her fourth sister was a genius. She was happy with this current life, but she did not feel sad too when she thought about the events of her previous life.

After being teased by her fourth sister, Yan Lingyu no longer felt sad as before. She used the calmest tone to talk about her past life. She only said that her name was Lin Daiyu in her previous life. She was born into a noble family, but she lost her parents at a young age. She was brought to a relative’s family to be raised. Later on, due to the illness that she was born with, she passed away at the age of ten. As for those details in days of the year, she did not mention a single word about them. 

Yan Qixun was shocked that her twin sister of the same mother was Lin Daiyu! Needless to say, she had led the most unbridled life in her previous life. Although her third sister, Yan Lingsu, was an orphan, she was doted on by her master. On one hand, she led a poor life and died young. She did not suffer much. Even if her death made thousands of people pity her not because of her death and suffering, it was because of her kind nature. On the other hand, Yan Lingyu’s past life was like a bird without any branch to rest— it was truly heartbreaking. 

Speaking of which, Yan Qixun had read many pieces of literature, but there were only two female characters that she could not forget. Coincidentally, they were her elder sister and her younger sister in this life. 

Yan Qixun admired Yan Lingsu for being a knowledgeable person and felt sorry for her death. Secondly, she also felt heartache and sympathized with the tragedy that happened Yan Lingyu.

Yan Qixun pursed her lips and secretly swore that she would make her sister live a more carefree life than anyone else in the future. Even if Yan Lingyu did not say that she had suffered anything, but living under someone else’s roof was enough to make one’s heartache. Moreover, looking at her expression when she mentioned her past life, one could tell that she was not living well..
