When Su Yunru learned that Lin Yinan not only owned salt fields but also an army, and had wiped out the Japanese pirates in Xihe County, she clutched her pounding heart.

"Mother, are Lin Yinan and the others going to rebel?" Her voice trembled, rising a few decibels.

Zhu Jinhui quickly covered her mouth, "Be careful, there are eavesdroppers in the next room. You'll get into trouble. Keep your voice down."

Speaking of Lin Yinan, Zhu Jinhui thought of her stubborn eldest son.

"Your brother is setting off for Longtan today."

"Where are you going?" Su Yunru clutched her chest tightly.

"They said they were going to give it their all." Zhu Jinhui turned her head away, her expression somewhat gloomy.

Su Yunru stared wide-eyed at her pained mother, somewhat lost in thought, and asked, "Mother, what was the point of me marrying into the Deng family?"

Looking at her daughter, who had lost a lot of weight, Zhu Jinhui's eyes showed worry. "Ru'er, is it because your husband treats you badly?"

When Deng Shifa was mentioned, Su Yunru's face flushed instantly, and she said softly, "My husband is very good to me."

The mother and daughter chatted about some private matters. Not long after, the youngest daughter, Su Yunrui, called her from the doorway.

It turned out that Su Yunyan had come to call her to the study.

"Where is the son-in-law?" Zhu Jinhui asked.

"My brother-in-law is in the garden."

"Go see what your father and the others want from you. I'll go to the kitchen and get a bowl of soup for my son-in-law."

Zhu Jinhui hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen. It was the new son-in-law's first visit, and she couldn't be negligent.

Upon arriving at the study, Su Yunru, having learned the whole story, looked at Su Yunzhi.

"Brother, can we skip Dragon Pool?"

Su Yunzhi looked at her younger sister, dressed in luxurious clothes and looking like a married woman, just like in Sword City, only she had lost a lot of weight.

“Aru, your brother is useless and can’t protect you. The only thing I can do is marry you into the Deng family so that they can protect you. I still have three younger brothers. We can’t waste time in Cangwu. I have to find a way out for our Su family.”

Su Yunru burst into tears. In the six months since they came to Cangwu County, they had endured hardships they had never experienced before in their lives.

Su Kunliang comforted her, saying, "Although Lin Yinan has the talent of a general or minister, she may not really rebel. She may just be finding another way to ensure that everyone can live a good life."
