After Su Jinli and Jiang Yan learned the news, they decided not to remain silent. They found the person who spread the rumor and demanded that he stop immediately and post an apology notice in the capital. Seeing that his deeds were exposed, the person had no choice but to do so.
With the rumors dispelled, business at Jinyun Bookstore gradually returned to normal. But Su Jinli and Jiang Yan knew that the matter was not over yet. They had to be more cautious to avoid being framed again.
Meanwhile, news arrived from Prime Minister Su. He tactfully explained Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's difficulties to the Empress Dowager. After a moment's reflection, the Empress Dowager expressed her understanding. She explained that she had originally hoped Princess Shou'an would have a good tutor, but since Su Jinli was truly unavailable, she would not insist. However, the Empress Dowager hoped Su Jinli would occasionally visit the palace to teach Princess Shou'an and impart some knowledge.
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan were relieved when they heard the news. They were very grateful to the Queen Mother for her understanding and also thanked Prime Minister Su for his help.
After this incident, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan cherished each other even more and became even more determined to run Jinyun Bookstore successfully. They knew that the road ahead was still long and they would encounter various difficulties and challenges, but as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome everything.
