Trivial Matters
Qinghe Town!
At this moment, the place was naturally bustling with noise.
Qin Yan was dressed in military uniform, wearing a black cloak, and accompanied by a group of personal guards!
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
As people who came from this place, they had imagined this scene countless times.
Wen Qinsi and his men came to greet them from ten miles away!
Upon seeing Qin Yan, he immediately bowed!
Qin Yan simply nodded slightly, and only after seeing the person beside him did he reveal a smile.
"Long time no see, Xiaoshan!"
"Boss!"
Zong Xiaoshan was equally excited.
"You should have come along, kid. You could have easily become a general."
Qin Yan laughed heartily and gave him a heavy slap on the hand.
"Not bad, it hasn't been long, and you're already at the Xiantian High Rank."
Qin Yan's eyes lit up!
Zong Xiaoshan's talent is definitely not bad, plus he has a Supreme Grandmaster behind him.
"It's all thanks to the rare and precious herbs my master found for me; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current strength so quickly."
Zong Xiaoshan gave a simple, honest smile.
"The old village chief and the others have arrived too!"
Qin Yan looked over and saw that his face was also beaming with smiles. The old village chief, Uncle Seven, and Second Brother were all there.
However, they were all somewhat reserved in front of Qin Yan's identity.
Especially the old village chief.
When Xianxian first heard that Qin Yan had been granted the title of Earl, she almost fainted from joy.
They directly invoked the divine intervention of their ancestors.
They even built the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall.
Qin Yan truly brought honor to his ancestors, and his family genealogy was published separately!
Qin Qing, in particular, felt more awe than kinship towards Qin Yan.
Even though Qin Yan didn't hold a grudge about what happened back then, he still felt uneasy.
Although they knew Qin Yan wouldn't hold it against them, this sense of awe lingered.
Qin Yan was also keenly aware of the changes in how people treated him.
He sighed inwardly.
Only Zong Xiaoshan remained the same as before!
Qin Yan and his group rushed to Clear Water Village and found that a brand-new road had been built there!
"Boss, you don't know this."
When this place was granted the title of Count of Qinghe, the Youshan Prefecture personally issued an order to open a branch road from the official road to the village!
Now the roads are wide and spacious, saving a lot of time getting in and out.
Zong Xiaoshan laughed!
"Yes, it's all thanks to the Marquis; even the ancestral hall was repaired with government funds."
The old village chief smiled, looking quite energetic.
"Uncle, please call me Qin Yan or A-Yan!"
Qin Yan smiled as he looked at the old man before him.
"Alright!" The old village chief paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his aged face.
After a long pause, what did he think of?
Hesitantly, he began, "A-Yan, about your sister-in-law and your two nephews."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan naturally understood what the other party wanted to say, and said with a faint smile, "We have already separated, and from now on, we will never see each other again."
Uncle, you don't need to worry that I will retaliate against them.
Not worth it!
The old village chief sighed upon hearing this, "This is all a tragedy."
Qin Zhao is truly blinded by greed, causing the whole family to fall apart.
His wife and children also suffered misfortune, unable to benefit from the influence of Marquis Qin Yan at all!
They returned to the village.
Qin Yan looked somewhat dazed. With his rise to power, the villagers had all benefited greatly.
Life started to get better.
Qin Yan spotted Zhao He and her two nephews and nieces from afar; their faces showed signs of exhaustion and fear.
I didn't care much.
"Boss, the old house has been renovated and is now a large mansion."
After offering incense at the ancestral hall, Qin Yan returned to his former hometown.
The gate here has long since been replaced with a grand entrance, which also encompasses the mountain behind it.
A martial arts training ground has been built!
Thank you for your hard work!
Qin Yan smiled. He planned to stay here permanently from now on, firstly because it was close to the Deep Mountain Base.
Secondly, it allows one to focus on cultivation.
Thirdly, it allows one to utilize knowledge from past lives to change this rigid and outdated world.
After returning to Qinghe Town, Qin Yan secluded himself and refused to receive any visitors.
There are far too many people trying to curry favor with us.
However, they were all driven away by Qin Yan's personal guards.
"Now I'm planning to rebuild my house; the mud walls and thatched roof are just awful."
Qin An, Qin Xiaoyi, and others gathered together to discuss rebuilding the house.
As a member of Qin Yan's initial team.
After fighting alongside Qin Yan, they received substantial rewards, becoming incredibly wealthy.
"Boss!" "Lord Marquis!"
Upon seeing Qin Yan leave, the group quickly bowed.
"Everyone is discussing building houses."
Qin Yan thought for a moment, "How about I contribute some money to renovate the village?"
After all, they came from this village.
If I become successful, helping the village develop is a way of giving back!
Anyway, the whole village only has about a hundred households.
For him, spending a little money to build a house is just a drop in the ocean.
He's incredibly rich now.
He has over 80 million taels of silver in cash, several mines, and various other businesses.
He'll only have more and more money in his hands.
Soon, the village chief learned of the news and spread it throughout the village.
Everyone was in an uproar.
They were extremely grateful to Qin Yan.
Night!
Second brother Qin Qing arrived at the old house.
As the second elder brother of Youshan Marquis, Qin Qing lived a very comfortable life.
Countless people tried to curry favor with him, and he received so many gifts that he couldn't handle them all.
Qin Yan turned a blind eye to this person, as long as he didn't use his status to do evil!
He wouldn't deliberately try to control it.
"Third brother!"
Qin Yan repaired houses for the villagers, and Qin Qing was naturally among them!
"My second brother is here to thank you."
Qin Qing smiled awkwardly.
Although Qin Yan and his brother do not live together, he is prepared to spend some money to build a nice house for the other party!
The two sides discussed some things!
Seeing that the other person hesitated, Qin Yan immediately spoke up, "It's because of my sister-in-law and the others!"
"Yes!"
Qin Qing nodded with a wry smile, "What happened back then was indeed an ugly affair."
But that's all in the past.
Please forgive our eldest brother for all the stupid things he did.
After all, those two children are your own nephews!
"Second brother, this matter won't end well!"
Qin Yan shook his head slightly. "Qin Zhao's death is, after all, somewhat related to me."
The hatred for the murder of one's father cannot be settled so easily.
I won't cause them any trouble.
Although my sister-in-law is narrow-minded, she also knows that I am someone they absolutely cannot afford to offend now.
Naturally, he wouldn't intentionally seek revenge.
It would be best if we never spoke to each other again. But if you want revenge, I'll have no choice but to accept it.
"No way!"
Qin Qing immediately shook her head, "Actually, my sister-in-law already regrets it in her heart, and she has also told the two children not to hold a grudge!"
These are all grudges between adults, and we don't want them to affect the next generation.
Actually, it's perfectly fine if we never see each other again.
Qin Yan sighed softly.
"I won't make things difficult for them. Second brother, please look after them in your daily lives. If there are any problems you can't solve, you can talk to me."
"Let's do it that way!"
Seeing this, Qin Qing could only nod helplessly. He was the only one who could act as a link between the two sides or resolve some of the conflicts.
We're family after all.
