Hearing this, Sun Wan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Is the story very different from what you remember?

Noticing his wife's puzzled expression, Su Yang was equally puzzled. "Actually, not many people know the inside story of this incident, and it shouldn't be easily leaked to outsiders. So, how did you learn this inside information?"

Sun Wan was speechless for a moment and could only shake her head helplessly to indicate that she didn't know.

"After all, I met so many different strangers while wandering around, I can't remember from whom I heard this rumor."

Seeing this scene, although Su Yang still had doubts in his heart, he chose not to ask any further questions.

At this moment, Sun Wan's heart was like a raging sea and she couldn't calm down.

After a moment, in order to change the subject and satisfy her curiosity, she pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Husband, who was it that day who was so kind as to inform you of the relevant information in advance?"

Hearing this, Su Yang answered cheerfully: "What a coincidence! This person is exactly the important person I want to introduce to you."

"Although she's not a great hero, she's a rare female hero!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered his men to quickly invite a person named Su Yuelian to come and meet him.

When Su Yuelian heard that it was an old friend who wanted to reminisce about the past, she was overjoyed. She made careful preparations and came to visit Su Yang and his wife with great joy.

But when she happily came out of the room, she found that in addition to her former comrade, there was also a woman sitting there with a puzzled expression on her face.

The smile on Su Yuelian's face disappeared instantly.

She forced a smile and walked forward, trying to act generously: "Brother Su, are you looking for me?"

But I felt uneasy in my heart, wondering what his intention was in coming to see me this time.

Su Yang nodded calmly: "Your sister-in-law wants to know your story and wants to meet you."

His tone was gentle but dignified, which made Su Yuelian feel a little invisible pressure, but she couldn't refuse his request.

Sun Wan looked at the young woman and couldn't help but sigh, "She is so beautiful and dignified. Miss Su is not only beautiful, but also very capable."

Her tone revealed sincere admiration, which made Su Yuelian feel a little shy.

"My husband just told me that thanks to your help, he was able to avoid many dangers along the way and even invented an extremely powerful weapon."

Sun Wan continued speaking, her eyes full of recognition and gratitude for her talent.

This made Su Yuelian, who was standing aside, even more uneasy.

"Miss Su, I'm here to thank you."

After saying that, Sun Wan stood up and was about to salute Su Yuelian.

Faced with this sudden respect, Su Yuelian didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Su Yuelian looked at Su Xu expressionlessly as he frantically supported Sun Wan, but she still reluctantly accepted the courtesy.

Although she was still a little unhappy, she knew that the wisest choice at the moment was to let nature take its course.

She thought she would feel relieved when she saw Sun Wan bowing to her, but in fact, she felt only more pain in her heart.

This complex mix of emotions made Su Yuelian feel more and more depressed.

Su Yuelian forced a smile: "These are all trivial matters, don't take them to heart."

He tried to use plain words to cover up his inner turmoil, but these words sounded more like self-consolation.

Looking at Su Xu's indifferent expression, Su Yuelian suddenly felt very aggrieved.

It seems that all emotions are ignored at this moment and no one cares.

She bit her lip and said, "After all, I am still no match for you. If you hadn't been taking care of Brother Shu's child in the back, he would probably be very sad."

The voice deepened, and each word seemed particularly heavy, filled with a sense of helplessness about one's own inability to change the current situation.

When Sun Wan mentioned her child, her heart ached.

Although she tried hard to keep smiling, a hint of worry could still be seen between her brows.

"I haven't done anything well. I'm not worthy of being a wife."

The words were spoken extremely softly, but they were enough for everyone around to sense the deep remorse and loss contained within them.

Su Yuelian originally wanted to embarrass this woman. After all, the fact that Su Duanxu was driven away caused a sensation in the city. But who would have thought that this woman would endure it so nonchalantly!

This extraordinary attitude made her very puzzled and even felt incredible.

"Honestly, at your age, you're still acting weak in front of Brother Shu. You're really shameless."

As she thought so in her heart, she looked down on Sun Wan even more.

Su Yuelian lowered her head, hiding the disdain and contempt for her in her eyes.

At this moment, Sun Wan did not notice these subtle changes in emotions. She just felt that Miss Su didn't seem to like talking, so she didn't say anything more.

At this time, Su Xu suddenly said: "You are over 20 years old and it is time for you to get married. I want my sister-in-law to find a good home for you."

Hearing this, Sun Wan and Su Yuelian were stunned. They had never expected him to say such a thing.

Sun Wan's face was filled with surprise and nervousness. "Me? I'm just a country woman. How dare I propose marriage to Miss Su?"

There was obvious uneasiness in his words, as if he was afraid that he might do something wrong and bring trouble to others.

"How can that be? If I don't do it right and delay Miss Su's marriage, wouldn't I be a bad person?"

Obviously, in Sun Wan's view, promoting such a happy marriage is a very important and sacred responsibility that cannot be neglected in any way.

Su Yuelian was almost crying, her eyes quickly turned red, and she stared at Su Xu, wanting to express her dissatisfaction, but was stopped by Su Xu's cold look.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and everything fell into silence.

Su Yuelian suddenly felt as if something was blocking her mouth and she couldn't speak.

She couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and couldn't hide the grievance in her heart any longer, so she turned around and ran away.

The back view is full of helplessness and sadness, which can't help but move people.

Sun Wan was stunned at first, then seemed to understand something.

"This Miss Su...could it be..."

She murmured softly, various possible scenes flashing through her mind, and gradually she understood the reason.

Su Xu interrupted her: "It's just a little girl's momentary impulse."

Her tone was calm but with a hint of helplessness, "She's confused, and we can't be confused with her. Don't underestimate yourself. You are the general's wife now, and it's easy to choose a young and talented person."

There was both encouragement and comfort in his words, hoping that Sun Wan could quickly recover from the shock brought about by the scene just now.

After hearing what Su Xu said, Sun Wan had no choice but to let go of the topic, even though her heart was still full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

She knew that in the current situation, asking more questions would do no good and might even cause more trouble or unnecessary disputes.
