After Lin Yanran passed away, Chu Yunxuan and Le An lived for more than twenty years before passing away one after the other.

During his years of retirement, Chu Yunxuan secretly acquired a considerable amount of property, which he eventually divided into three parts, leaving a legacy for his descendants.

As for why it wasn't given to Wei Yichuan, besides the fact that Chu Yunxuan was extremely disappointed in this son, it was also because during Chu Yunxuan's lifetime, counting from Wei Yichuan, there hadn't been a single intelligent person in three generations. Too much wealth in a foolish family is not a blessing but a curse.

In Chu Yunxuan's lineage, six generations later, Chu Shihui's descendants relied on these things to successfully become the next rulers of the country.

Chu Yunxuan died earlier than his wife and younger brother, and he was no longer the one who saw everyone off.

As he closed his eyes, he thought to himself how wonderful it felt to leave first. Although he was reluctant to part with his wife, she was getting old and would come looking for him in a few years.

But he hasn't seen his mother for many years, and he doesn't know if he will ever see her again.

The moment Chu Yunxuan closed his eyes, it was as if he had entered his dream from his past life, where the two of them stood facing each other.

Chu Yunxuan was quite surprised to see his younger self from his previous life. As for why he could recognize him at a glance, it was because in his previous life, at this time, he was like a sword without a sheath; anyone who saw him would immediately sense danger.

Throughout his life, he has always been reserved and composed.

But in the end, the person on the other end spoke first, "You look old? It seems I've lived long enough and am having a pretty good old age."

Chu Yunxuan looked at his younger self from his past life and asked softly, "Has your wife, Su Qingyao, given birth?"

The person on the other end paused, then replied, "How did you know my wife was about to give birth?"

"I just want to remind you that your eldest son will be replaced by your brother-in-law's family. They will treat your biological son badly. As for your wife, I don't know if she knew at first, but in the end she knew, but she didn't say anything."

She just watched helplessly as your child suffered.

Remember, your eldest son doesn't have any birthmarks.

Chu Yunxuan lost consciousness after speaking; perhaps this was Heaven giving him a chance to fulfill the regrets in his heart.

When the Chu Yunxuan from the previous life woke up, he found him asleep in the study.

At first, he didn't believe it. Although he didn't believe it, he was suspicious, so he still made two plans.

If the Su family dares to make a move, he will make them suffer the consequences themselves.

As for bringing this matter to light, Chu Yunxuan has no intention of doing so now. After all, he no longer has the resources to overturn everything. He is too closely tied to the Crown Prince, and he has no stronger backing.

So when Su Qingyao gave birth at the Left Prime Minister's residence, and coincidentally, Su Qingyao's second sister-in-law also gave birth there, he had a bad feeling.

Just as he had dreamt, the nanny beside that person did indeed want to switch the child. After they succeeded in switching, Chu Yunxuan had the child switched back.

As for the child with the birthmark, he was naturally disposed of, and Chu Yunxuan replaced him with an abandoned baby.

This abandoned baby was something Chu Yunxuan's men had already chosen—the child of a courtesan who was pregnant but didn't want it, yet hadn't aborted it.

After the woman threw it away, his men picked it up.

Su Qingyao had no idea whether her child had a birthmark or not, while her second sister-in-law certainly knew that her child had a birthmark, but the child she received did not have a birthmark, and she did not suspect anything.

As time went on, Chu Yunxuan watched as Su Qingyao's second brother and sister-in-law treated the child badly and wanted to pass the family business on to their second son. He felt intense hatred in his heart.

But he knew he couldn't rush things. After that, his relationship with Su Qingyao remained very good, and he allowed his good father-in-law to help him clear away obstacles. He let Su Qingyao keep having children, and in the end, Su Qingyao gave birth to a total of six boys and two girls.

Su Qingyao herself has aged considerably, but Chu Yunxuan still shows unwavering devotion.

Over the years, Chu Yunxuan had been waiting for the time to take revenge, and fortunately, the time finally came. It was after the Crown Prince ascended the throne that Su Qingyao's second brother tried to exchange his grandson for the current emperor's son.

Chu Yunxuan was the one who inadvertently stumbled upon the informant. At this time, the Empress Dowager had already been poisoned and passed away (of course, Chu Yunxuan was also involved in this), so the Cheng'en Duke's lineage was doomed.

No one in the entire clan, except for the women who married out, escaped.

Of course, Su Qingyao still threatened Chu Yunxuan with her own life to plead for him, but Su Qingyao had no idea that the man who loved her in her heart was long gone.

After she threatened Chu Yunxuan, her health deteriorated, and her children complained about her.

They resented her for neglecting them and only thinking about her own family.

So after the entire Chengen Gong clan died, Su Qingyao's health deteriorated rapidly.

Chu Yunxuan, on the other hand, acted like a devoted male protagonist, searching the world for a doctor for her, even taking leave from the morning court session, just to find a doctor for Su Qingyao.

Chu Yunxuan's deep affection made the emperor and the world feel sorry for him.

As Su Qingyao was about to breathe her last, Chu Yunxuan whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, our eldest son is indeed our child. As for that bastard, I killed him long ago."

Su Qingyao instantly understood everything, realizing that it was all this man's revenge. Overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, she left.

Chu Yunxuan watched as people burned Su Qingyao's body, saying it was her dying wish: "to be scattered by the wind and go to her parents' side to fulfill her filial duty."

Because the members of the Chengen Gong clan were abandoned in the wilderness, no one knows where they ultimately went.

Throughout Cangming, everyone sighed, "Among all the devoted lovers in the world, there is none other than Marquis Wenxuan."

To encourage his Minister of Revenue, the Emperor bestowed two beautiful concubines upon Chu Yunxuan. Chu Yunxuan was forced to live a life of having beautiful women by his side, after all, he couldn't neglect the concubines bestowed by the Emperor.

But Chu Yunxuan still felt that his life had been extremely meaningless. His mother and younger brother were gone, and his wife was not on his side. He had spent his whole life scheming.

In his later years, he often looked at his face in the bronze mirror and compared it with the face he had seen in his dream many years ago. He always felt that the difference was huge.

He always felt that the person in his dreams was living a much better life than him, and he really wanted to ask that person why they were doing so well.

But he only thought about it; no one could answer his questions.

After Lin Yanran closed her eyes, when she opened them again, it felt like a long time had passed. But as soon as she felt something licking her, she opened her eyes and was immediately terrified.

She actually saw a large white tiger licking her; even the strongest heart couldn't bear it.
