Two women came in beside them. After hearing this, the other woman couldn't believe it and said, "That's impossible. Then I am not heartbroken."

"Don't even think about it. I heard that the woman that Mr. Xing married is the mistress of the Xing clan. She is of noble status. How can ordinary people like us compare to her?"

……

"Snap—" As the chopsticks fell, Su Yanhua was stunned on the spot.

"Just now I thought you would remain calm about these words, but now you are exposed?" Xie Wei said coldly.

Su Yanhua, who was in a daze, felt extremely lost at this moment.

Get a wife?

Well, isn't this what she wants?

Su Yanhua, since you have made this decision, don't think about it anymore. It will only hurt others and yourself in the end.

Su Yanhua and Xie Wei didn't linger in Huaibei. They quickly purchased two sturdy horses and galloped north without hesitation. Along the way, they met many patriots who were also traveling to Yunzhou to participate in the recruitment. They traveled together, sharing their experiences and observations. The most talked-about topic, of course, was Nalan Yanyu, a renowned figure in Yunzhou.

Since Nalan Yanyu began managing grain production in Yunzhou, he has not only significantly increased local grain production, but, beyond meeting local needs, he has even managed to dispatch personnel to Huaibei to conduct real estate surveys and generously donate large quantities of dry food to the local people. This act of kindness has earned the people of the Huaibei border region immense gratitude and praise for Nalan Yanyu. Upon learning that Su Yanhua and his companions were heading to Yunzhou for recruitment, the hospitable people of Huaibei specially prepared a grand banquet to express their welcome and hospitality.

At that moment, a fierce wind howled across the vast expanse of sand, and the swirling yellow sand obscured the sky. Yet, the makeshift tent seemed remarkably sturdy, standing firmly amidst the raging sand. The flying dust occasionally lashed Su Yanhua's fair face, but she simply narrowed her eyes and stood still, seemingly lost in thought about something important.

Xie Wei looked at her, a pair of scrutinizing eyes hidden under his feminine face.

He stared at her for a long time and said, "It's time to eat!"

Su Yanhua turned around, nodded, and followed Xie Wei in.

The people at the border were very enthusiastic and invited them to drink and eat meat with big mouthfuls. The people around them also laughed and drank happily.

One of the old ladies came over and asked kindly, "Girl, why aren't you eating? Is there something on your mind?"

Su Yanhua smiled and said, "Old man, when I entered here, I saw that there were houses built over there. Why are you sleeping in tents? The wind and sand are very strong at night. Isn't it dangerous?"

After she finished speaking, the old woman's brows dimmed.

"Well, we're actually a poor family who were exploited. We originally lived in that protective realm, sheltered from the elements. But for some reason, the landlord demanded more and more money and even drove us out. We've been living here for several years now."

The others gradually fell silent after hearing this. One of the men said, "Then no one will take care of it? We can ask Prince Nalan to take care of it!"

The old woman said, "We really want Prince Nalan to come and take charge, but we also know that this landlord is difficult to deal with. Prince Nalan has also sent people to investigate and study, proving that he still has this intention."

Su Yanhua frowned and thought. Nalan had only been in Yunzhou for more than half a year, so naturally he needed to expand his territory. It seemed that his primary target was the Huaibei area. Huaibei had a vast territory and abundant products. The most important thing was that the border was a sandy land, which was definitely an advantage for leading troops.

This landlord leader must be the governor in charge of the Huaibei area, which is why he is so rampant.

"Then do you know what the name of the governor of Huaibei is?" Su Yanhua asked.

The old woman said, "It's strange to say, he's not from Yunqin. His surname is Xuan, and there's no such surname among the eight major surnames in Yunqin."

mysterious?

Su Yan muttered to herself, but before she could think about it, someone suddenly ran over and said anxiously, "Oh no! Those landlords are here to ask for money again."

After these words were spoken, every one of these border residents had a look of deep sorrow on their faces, as if a disaster was about to happen.

Suddenly, the tent was lifted up, and the leader was extremely fierce. He kicked the food in front of him and shouted arrogantly: "It's so delicious, it seems that this year's harvest is good!"

The old woman trembled and said, "Sir, didn't you come here a few days ago? Why are you here again?"

With a "crack" sound, the man whipped the old woman fiercely and said ruthlessly, "Why, after finishing this meal, you won't eat the next one?"

"Hand over the money quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Sir, we have no money, we really have no money."

"What a joke! Didn't Nalan just give you some silver?" the man said coldly, "Give it all to me!"

As he finished speaking, his face was grim, his arm muscles tensed, and he was about to raise the barbed, bloodstained whip and swing it fiercely at the trembling, terrified old woman again. However, at this moment, a figure rushed over like lightning, and a white, strong hand firmly grasped the whip that was about to fall.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Su Yanhua who had made the move. Her beautiful eyes seemed to contain a chill as cold as a thousand years of ice, which made people shudder.

"Who allowed you to attack innocent people? Don't you have any law?" Su Yanhua's cold voice sounded, full of anger and questioning.

"Hmph, you ignorant woman, how can you have the right to speak here? Stop meddling in other people's business!" The evil man holding the whip glared at Su Yanhua and roared.

In a flash, Su Yanhua flashed and kicked the fierce man in the chest. With a scream, the man flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"If you want to fight, get out and fight! Don't disturb the peace of the people here!" Su Yanhua's words were loud and clear.

As soon as the words fell, the patriots who had been standing by also stepped forward. Filled with righteous indignation, they rubbed their fists and rushed towards the group of bullies. For a moment, shouts of killing and curses resounded through the sky, and the two sides immediately engaged in a scuffle.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly arose, and the sky was filled with howling sand, intertwining with the fierce fighting. The dust was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the scene in front of people, but it could not hide the anger and justice in the hearts of the people.

Xie Wei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. A man as indifferent and almost heartless as him had actually been caught up in this chaotic battle. Initially, he simply stood aside, watching the fray with a cold, indifferent attitude, without the slightest desire to participate.
