Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

The conspiracy is revealed, and business flourishes.

Su Yunlan calmly observed the newcomer, noticing that although he was dressed plainly, he exuded a sharp and capable air.

"Who is your master?"

The visitor bowed slightly. "My master's surname is Luo, and he is the president of the town's chamber of commerce."

Chairman Luo?

Su Yunlan sneered inwardly. It seemed there was indeed something fishy going on behind the scenes.

She accepted the invitation without batting an eye and followed the visitor to the Luo residence.

Night fell over the town, and the Luo mansion was brightly lit, exuding an eerie luxury.

Su Yunlan was led to an elegant room, where Chairman Luo had been waiting for a long time.

He was dressed in fine clothes, with a smile on his face, but his eyes gleamed with shrewdness.

"Madam Su, I've long admired your name." Chairman Luo's tone was polite, but carried a hint of barely perceptible arrogance.

"President Luo, you flatter me." Su Yunlan replied calmly, her gaze sweeping across the room, taking in the surrounding environment.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chairman Luo got straight to the point, "Madam Su's business is thriving, which is truly admirable. I wonder if Madam Su could share some of her secrets so that I could learn from her."

Su Yunlan sneered inwardly; this old fox had finally shown his tail.

She pretended to ponder for a moment, then casually revealed some unimportant information to Chairman Luo, while secretly observing his reaction.

After hearing what Chairman Luo said, Su Yunlan followed suit and subtly inquired about the information.

After several rounds of drinks, Chairman Luo finally revealed his true colors.

"Madam Su, you're an outsider, why bother competing with us local merchants for profits? How about we cooperate?"

Su Yunlan sneered inwardly. Cooperation?

They just want to take over her business.

She feigned hesitation and then politely declined Chairman Luo's suggestion.

Chairman Luo's face darkened, and his tone turned cold.

"Madam Su, you should think this through. There are some people you can't afford to offend."

Su Yunlan met his gaze without fear. "President Luo, I, Su Yunlan, have done nothing wrong. What is there to fear?"

Chairman Luo snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Su Yunlan watched his departing figure and sneered inwardly. This game had only just begun.

Back at their lodgings, Su Yunlan told Xiao Yuhan about what she had seen and heard that evening.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan's expression turned grave. "It seems that Chairman Luo is colluding with the Zheng businessman."

Su Yunlan nodded. "That's right, they want to join forces to suppress me."

"Lan'er, what do you plan to do next?" Xiao Yuhan asked with concern.

Su Yunlan paused for a moment, a cold smile playing on her lips. "I'd like to see what tricks they can pull." Su Yunlan walked to the table, picked up a brush and ink, her eyes deep and unfathomable. "Tomorrow, I'm going to release some information..."

The following morning, a message swept through the town like a whirlwind—Su Yunlan's supply of goods had run into problems, the quality of the goods had declined, and the prices had dropped accordingly.

This news was deliberately released by Su Yunlan; she wanted Chairman Luo and Mr. Zheng to believe that their plan had succeeded.

Upon hearing this news, Chairman Luo clapped his hands and laughed, believing that Su Yunlan had reached the end of her rope, his smugness overflowing.

The Zheng merchant was overjoyed, as if he could already see Su Yunlan's defeat.

However, they did not know that this was only the first step in Su Yunlan's plan.

She returned to her residence and slipped into the spatial dimension.

The space was filled with a dazzling array of supplies, everything imaginable.

Su Yunlan walked to a corner where some special equipment she had brought from the modern world was displayed, one of which was a miniature voice recorder.

She took out the recorder, a confident smile playing on her lips.

Over the next few days, Su Yunlan frequently visited the Luo and Zheng residences, cleverly placing a recording pen in a hidden location each time to record their conversations word for word.

Chairman Luo and Mr. Zheng never dreamed that their seemingly flawless plan had already been seen through by Su Yunlan.

When the time was right, Su Yunlan invited all the merchants in town to a banquet at the largest restaurant.

Chairman Luo and Mr. Zheng also came at the invitation, their faces filled with undisguised smugness, thinking that Su Yunlan was begging them for mercy.

After a few rounds of drinks, Su Yunlan suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.

A waiter came up carrying a wooden box. Su Yunlan opened the box, and inside were several miniature voice recorders.

"President Luo, Mr. Zheng, are you familiar with these things?" Su Yunlan's voice was clear and firm, like a cold winter wind that instantly swept through the entire room.

Chairman Luo and Mr. Zheng's faces turned deathly pale instantly. They looked at the recording pens as if they were facing a death warrant.

In front of all the businessmen, Su Yunlan played the contents of the recording pen.

Chairman Luo and businessman Zheng colluded to suppress Su Yunlan, maliciously spread rumors, and even planned to frame her. Their conspiracy was exposed in the recording.

The surrounding merchants were dumbfounded. They never imagined that the usually respectable Chairman Luo and Merchant Zheng would do such a despicable thing.

Their gazes toward Chairman Luo and the Zheng businessman were filled with contempt and disdain.

Chairman Luo and Mr. Zheng were speechless. They tried to argue, but found that any explanation seemed weak and ineffective.

Su Yunlan looked at their disheveled appearance and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Chairman Luo, Mr. Zheng, do you have anything else to say?" Su Yunlan's voice was icy, like a judgment from hell.

Chairman Luo's face was ashen, his lips trembled but he couldn't utter a single word.

The Zheng merchant slumped in his chair, sweating profusely, his face a mixture of regret and fear.

The surrounding merchants whispered and pointed, their gazes filled with disdain as they looked at the two.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you two have to say?" Su Yunlan's voice was clear and strong, standing out in the noisy restaurant.

She looked around and her gaze fell on Li the young man, who nodded slightly to her, everything understood without a word.

Xiao Yuhan held Su Yunlan's hand tightly, his eyes filled with pride and love.

Su Yunlan also looked at Xiao Yuhan, and the two smiled at each other, a warm atmosphere spreading amidst the tense situation.

Chairman Luo and Mr. Zheng's reputations plummeted, their businesses suffered a severe blow, and they were ultimately forced to leave the town in disgrace.

With the conspiracy exposed, Su Yunlan's trade routes became unimpeded in various towns.

She established a long-term cooperative relationship with Ding Huolang, who, with his keen market sense, could always find her sources of high-quality goods at low prices.

Su Yunlan took advantage of the space to quickly transport goods to various towns and earn substantial profits.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yunlan's business grew bigger and bigger, with profits increasing.

She hired more workers and formed her own caravan, with a prominent "Su" embroidered on its flag, traveling between towns.

Young Master Xiao also joined the caravan. Although he lacked experience, he was very enthusiastic and learned quickly, gradually becoming Su Yunlan's capable assistant.

Old Zhao also provided a lot of help to Su Yunlan. Based on his understanding of the local situation, he helped Su Yunlan avoid many risks.

The other members of the exile team also benefited from Su Yunlan's presence; their living conditions improved dramatically, and long-lost smiles returned to their faces.

Su Yunlan's business plan was a great success, and she became a legendary figure in the business world during her exile.

One day, Su Yunlan stood in front of his caravan, watching the crowds coming and going, his heart filled with emotion.

“Lan’er,” Xiao Yuhan walked to her side and said softly, “Look…” Su Yunlan followed his gaze and saw a large group of people marching towards them in the distance. The leader was dressed in official robes and had an imposing presence…

Su Yunlan stood in front of her caravan, facing the rising sun, a gentle breeze bringing a refreshing breeze.

The surrounding area was bustling with noise, and congratulations echoed everywhere.

Those businessmen who once treated her coldly or even maliciously slandered her are now all beaming with smiles and vying to curry favor with her.

The downfall of Chairman Luo and Merchant Zheng was like a boulder falling into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and making everyone fully understand Su Yunlan's abilities and skills.

"Madam Su is truly a woman who is just as capable as any man! In just a few months, she has made her business so successful!" A wealthy merchant congratulated her, his tone filled with undisguised envy.

"Indeed, Madam Su has a keen eye for business. With this trade route open, wealth will flow in!" another merchant chimed in.

Su Yunlan smiled slightly and accepted everyone's praise with grace and poise.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the chamber of commerce members who had once made things difficult for her, now all bowing their heads and looking at her with meekness, not daring to meet her gaze. A faint sense of smugness rose in her heart.

“Lan’er,” Xiao Yuhan walked to her side, gently took her hand, the warm touch conveying his love and support, “You did it.”

Su Yunlan squeezed his hand back, a happy smile curving her lips.

She looked around at the bustling caravans and the crowds coming and going, and felt a sense of accomplishment.

All the hardships and grievances of the past have now turned into sweet fruits.

"Yuhan, look..." Su Yunlan pointed to the distance, where a large group of people were marching towards them, raising dust and waving banners.

The leader was dressed in official robes, exuding an air of grandeur, with a sword gleaming coldly at his waist.

Xiao Yuhan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the newcomer, and said in a deep voice, "They are from the imperial court..."
