This stunned everyone around them. Moreover, Quan Jinyu, who looked so gentle and weak, suddenly became incredibly fast and strong once she made up her mind to die!

If Wu Ling hadn't been on guard the whole time and stopped him, Quan Jinyu would probably be dead!

Fu Lin was completely stunned by her cousin's actions!

What does this mean exactly?

Her mother had clearly stated that Quan Jinyu's future wife would only be her! She also felt that she was born to become the future matriarch of the Quan family!

Moreover, she personally escorted him here this time!

They had already made a deal, so there was no way her cousin didn't know. How could he rather die than be with her?

Fu Lin didn't understand, so she could only vent all her resentment on Lin Ru!

She tried to continue speaking, but was slapped several times and her mouth was gagged!

Lin Ru never expected that Quan Jinyu would be so resolute!

She let out a long sigh. "You! What can I even say about you?"

"Forget it! Since you've already shown your resolve by dying, I naturally believe you!"

"It's just that your cousin is really too bold."

"If everyone in the world were like her, or if every cousin came to me and made a scene, how would I manage my subordinates in the future!"

"Besides, you should know that the Quan family is just icing on the cake for me!"

"They're not really necessary; there are other people who could do it even if you weren't needed!"

"And your Quan family, on my turf, actually produced such a person. Regardless of whether she is surnamed Quan or not, since she is related to your Quan family and can say such things, I feel that this may be the intention of your entire family!"

"After all, you're in Changzhou! That place is like a local tyrant!"

"Quan Jinyu! Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Quan Jinyu, though his face was full of dejection, still remained very polite, kneeling upright on the ground and bowing deeply to Lin Ru!

"Your Majesty, I understand!"

After saying that, he clutched his stomach and groaned as he left, while Fu Lin was taken away by others!

Lin Ru watched their retreating figures without feeling angry at all. On the contrary, she wanted to thank the young girl for making her realize the problem with the Quan family!

Although they were bound by the token and had to pledge allegiance to her, these people had become accustomed to being local tyrants in Changzhou. Now, suddenly, a so-called emperor appeared in their territory, pointing fingers at their families. Moreover, this emperor was a woman. It was inevitable that these people would harbor ulterior motives!

Even if these people don't have any ulterior motives, what about their families? Won't they also have ulterior motives?

This family has been deeply entrenched in Changzhou for a long time, and almost all the officials, big and small, in Changzhou are their people!

Although these people are all from the Quan clan, even among the nine sons of the dragon, they are all different. The people Quan Jinyu brought are all from the main branch! They have received excellent education since childhood, and their every word and action seems to follow a pre-prepared template, without a single flaw!

Moreover, these people are instilled with the idea from childhood that they must be loyal to the owner of the token!

Because of this token, she also gained a connection with the people of these main branches!

Those from other branches of the family, being far from the emperor's reach, may not necessarily follow the family rules!

These people are different from the martial clan; they wield absolute power!

This will be extremely detrimental to her future supervision!

Previously, she hadn't paid attention to the Quan Clan because of the token and other matters. Now, Fu Lin has made her discover the drawbacks of the Quan Clan and has an excuse to rectify it!

Quan Jinyu was so smart that he naturally understood Lin Ru's concerns. Although he was somewhat unwilling, the foundation built by his ancestors was being destroyed in his hands!

But Fu Lin also gave him a wake-up call: if the Quan family is to go far, then of course everyone must be of one mind!

Even if such an anomalies are eliminated, it will only benefit their family, not harm them!

Thinking of this, his steps became lighter!

Lin Ru walked back in a good mood, while Wu Ling asked with some concern, "Your Majesty! Are you feeling alright? Don't you really need to see a doctor?"

Lin Ru smiled and waved her hand, "No need!"

"Right! Find a few muscular and robust men from the Martial Clan! Then find some from the Power Clan, the kind who are somewhat muscular but generally refined and gentle, like jade!"

"Find me four of each kind."

“Bring it to my yard.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Ling clenched his fists tightly, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed shut by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe!

He wanted to ask why, but he couldn't bring himself to say it, afraid of getting the answer he least wanted!

All I could do was nod in agreement and search as instructed!

Wu Juan followed closely behind Lin Ru and asked curiously, "Miss! What do you need so many men for?"

"What strength do you have? Can't you get the job done? Actually, I think I'm quite strong."

"Or do you really want to choose a concubine?"

"Then I can only say that, apart from the young clan leader, there aren't many good-looking members in the Martial Clan!"

"The Quan clan still has a few members!"

Lin Ru chuckled and tapped her head.

"All you ever think about in your little head is choosing concubines. Are you crazy or am I?"

"I've found a great way to make money."

Just you wait!

"I'll make sure you eat pork knuckle every day then."

"Even if I fed you a whole pig every day, I could afford it!"

A flicker of surprise flashed in Wu Juan's eyes, but then she felt something was off. "How can those men make any money?"

"Actually, I think if they can do it, so can I!"

Lin Ru burst into laughter!

"Don't worry! You'll definitely get your share."

"Go and find me ten beautiful women."

"Give me a few of everything of the same type, and give me a lot of the soft and cuddly kind like Wu Yun!"

Wu Juan became suspicious again. "Miss! You don't mean you're planning to sell them all?"

Lin Ru was both amused and exasperated. "You! Why would I sell them?"

"You are all my treasures."

"Don't worry! They just need to say a few words and strike a few nice poses."

"I'll take care of the rest."

"This time we're sure to make a fortune."

"I feel happy when I don't have to worry about money in the future."

Wu Juan was even more puzzled upon hearing this!

"Miss! I heard Lord Ji mention before that there's a kind of scam called fraud!"
