Rong Xun smiled slightly, "If he doesn't do it, your mother will have to in the future."

Xiao Zhenzhen was taken aback. She looked at Su Yun and asked, "Mother?"

Su Yun was also confused. Why was it her turn to do it?

Rong Xun smiled and said, "In short, it would be best if he could solve the problems in the Leiqiong area, but if he can't, we need to solve them ourselves."

“That’s true,” Xiao Zhenzhen replied.

The carriage swayed and rattled, taking more than a day to reach Guizhou Prefecture.

When they saw the Su residence, it was somewhat different from the magnificent and splendid appearance they had imagined. The house looked at most like the mansion of a large clan.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. There are no trade routes in the entire Lingnan region, and the people who come here have all had their homes confiscated. Where would they get any money to buy things or hire people to build luxurious items?

General Su led the three men to a guest room in the Su residence and then told them to wait.

Xiao Zhenzhen said again, annoyed, "Speaking of which, he's just like the King of Lingnan. This mansion doesn't look very grand."

Xiao Zhenzhen still felt it was somewhat shabby.

Rong Xun smiled and said, "You can't judge a book by its cover. They probably don't intend to live in this mansion long-term, so it's just passable, and—"

"And what?"

"Along the way, I saw very few houses that were decent; the thatched huts and wooden houses were all very shabby."

Su Yun listened attentively and said, "So, the Su family is already quite powerful. At least, this place is better than the Su family back then."

Rong Xun knew about the Su family mansion that Su Yun was talking about, and he also knew what the Su family mansion used to look like.

Xiao Zhenzhen knew this, but she had never actually visited her mother's family home. After all, her mother was not liked by the Su family; before they were born, the Su family members had either died or been exiled.

“To do that kind of thing, you can’t just have people; you also need a lot of gold and silver to support you,” Rong Xun said, looking at Xiao Zhenzhen and Su Yun. “Chen Qingshan’s people are indeed very loyal. They have amassed a lot of wealth and given it all to Su Heng. Su Heng is also very patient and has not revealed his true wealth.”

Xiao Zhenzhen clicked her tongue and looked at Rong Xun, saying, "Uncle Rong, where do you think he hid his money? If we could move it, wouldn't that cut off his escape route?"

Rong Xun smiled and said, "Indeed!"

He did some quick calculations and finally arrived at the result, then looked down at the ground.

Xiao Zhenzhen pointed down, "Down here?"

"Ah."

"Then what should we do—"

"Not urgent."

Xiao Zhenzhen was an impatient person. "How can I not be anxious? Without this money as backing, let's see how he causes trouble!"

"If we make a move now, wouldn't it be troublesome to alert the enemy?" Rong Xun asked.

Just as Xiao Zhenzhen was about to ask when they would start and how they would move the items, she suddenly heard footsteps.

The person who came in was Su Da. He hadn't left in a hurry, and although he clearly heard several people talking, he didn't understand a single word for some reason.

This distance—

Su Da found it strange. The distance wasn't that far, and besides, he was a martial artist. How could he not hear clearly at such a short distance?

"Brother Su?"

Rong Xun quickly got up and went to greet him.

Su Da looked at Rong Xun and the three of them. They didn't have any special expressions; they just looked like a happy family of three. Perhaps they were just joking around.

"Lord Li, the master said he wants you to come to the council hall with him." Su laughed, then looked at Su Yun, "Madam Wang, Madam Li, please wait a moment. After the head of the family speaks with Madam Wei, we will ask the two of you to examine Madam Wei."

Su Yun, Xiao Zhenzhen, and Rong Xun all nodded.

Rong Xun said to Su Da, "In that case, please lead the way, Brother Su."

"Please, Lord Li."

Su Da gestured for them to leave, and then the two of them left the secluded courtyard together.

Su Yun and Xiao Zhenzhen exchanged a glance, then sat down and didn't bring up the previous topic again, instead talking about something else.

After all, with Rong Xun not around, they were afraid of saying the wrong thing.

"Mother, do we really have to stay here?" Xiao Zhenzhen asked Su Yun.

Su Yun also frowned slightly. To be honest, she felt a little uncomfortable living on someone else's turf.

"We'll discuss it with our father later and see if we can rent a place outside. I always feel uncomfortable here."

"We'll ask your father then." They all knew perfectly well that "father" referred to Rong Xun.

At this moment, Xiao Zhenzhen suddenly became alert and said, "Someone is coming."

Su Yun was also a little nervous, but she quickly calmed down. After all, they had been disguised since they came to Lingnan, just in case they ran into acquaintances.

Soon after, Wei Lin arrived with A Qiao and Meng Yu, followed by several thin maids and two guards.

Upon seeing this, Su Yun and Xiao Zhenzhen quickly got up and went over to pay their respects.

When Wei Lin looked at Su Yun, he only glanced at her briefly before his gaze fell on Xiao Zhenzhen. Was this the woman his husband had taken a fancy to?

Su Da didn't say it explicitly, only that her husband might have fallen in love with a married woman.

Married woman

Wei Lin felt uneasy. She had clearly chosen a concubine as obedient and well-behaved as A Qiao for her husband!

That wasn't all; her husband also wanted Meng Yu, the daughter of the manager of Xiaolong Town.

In the past, my husband had no interest in women, but now that he has, the addition of two concubines to his harem is not enough.

Su Yun and Xiao Zhenzhen, seeing the person staring at them so boldly, and noticing that she was wearing a veil embroidered with peonies, guessed that the person in front of them was Wei Lin.

But why does she see them that way?

Especially the way she looked at Zhen'er, there was an indescribable feeling in her eyes. It wasn't hostility, but it was also quite intriguing.

After a long while, Wei Lin finally came to her senses. However, she still looked at Xiao Zhenzhen with some difficulty. This woman was of a good age and had a decent appearance, but she was a married woman. What should she do?

After taking a deep breath, Wei Lin said, "My name is Wei Lin, and I am Su Heng's wife. You should have heard of me."

Su Yun and Xiao Zhenzhen nodded in agreement. "We have long heard of Madam Wei's great name. It is an honor to meet her today."

"There's no need to exaggerate."

Wei Lin didn't want to hear the two of them say anything flattering. She could send women to her husband's side, but if her husband really fell for another woman, she would feel a little uncomfortable!

She looked at Xiao Zhenzhen; her face was indeed beautiful!

Looking at Su Yun, both she and her mother have beautiful eyes; they both have double eyelids, big eyes, and they look very lively.

"Were you and your daughter the ones who treated the scar on your husband's face?" Wei Lin asked.

Su Yun and Xiao Zhenzhen nodded in agreement. "Exactly."

"My husband said he'd let you try treating the scars on my face. Can you really cure the scars on my face?"

Su Yun said, "If the scars on Madam's body are the same as those on the Su family head's body, then we can..."

“Of course they are the same, but my scars are more numerous and harder to treat than my husband’s.”

"That will indeed take more time, please rest assured, Madam."
