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

Facing imminent seizure, they rose against all odds.

After seeing off the last group of students' parents, Su Yunlan turned and walked into the school. Watching the children studying diligently in the spacious and bright classroom, her heart was filled with hope.

She knew that everything she did was for these children and for the future of this town.

However, beneath this thriving scene, an undercurrent is brewing.

As Master Chen watched Su Yunlan's school flourish, he was consumed by jealousy.

He was originally the only teacher in town, but now Su Yunlan has stolen his thunder, and you can imagine how resentful he felt.

He clenched his fists, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Su Yunlan, just you wait! I won't let you be so smug!"

He found a greedy local official, offered him a large sum of money, and conspired to shut down Su Yunlan's school.

Once officials have received money, they are naturally happy to provide services.

He sent people to secretly investigate Su Yunlan's school, looking for any evidence that could be used to frame her.

On this day, Su Yunlan was standing at the school gate, watching the children play happily, her face beaming with a blissful smile.

Golden sunlight shone on her, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth and grass.

The children's clear laughter was as melodious as wind chimes, and to Su Yunlan, it was the most beautiful music in the world.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves broke the silence.

"Clatter clatter clatter..." The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder as they approached from afar, as if striking Su Yunlan's heart.

She felt a chill in her heart, and an ominous premonition came over her.

A group of soldiers rushed aggressively to the school gate, kicking up a cloud of dust that made Su Yunlan cough a few times.

The leading official dismounted, his black robes gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

Holding a document stamped with the official seal, he shouted sternly, "Su Yunlan, you are suspected of illegally running a school. We are now ordering the closure of your school!"

Su Yunlan's heart sank; it was indeed coming for her.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

Her eyes were clear and firm, without a trace of panic.

Master Chen stood behind the official, a sinister smile on his face.

He looked at Su Yunlan as if to say, "Let's see how smug you are now!"

"My lord, what law have I broken?" Su Yunlan asked calmly.

"Your school was opened without the government's approval, which is illegal!" the official said coldly, ignoring Su Yunlan's explanation.

“Sir, I opened the school to educate the people and give children books to read. Is that wrong?” Su Yunlan argued, trying to persuade the official.

"Hmph, whether you're wrong or not isn't for you to decide! Men, shut down the school!" The official waved his hand impatiently, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed into the school.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the school; the children were too frightened to make a sound and huddled in a corner.

Su Yunlan watched all this, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.

"Wait!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Master Lin squeezed out of the crowd. He was thin, and his blue robe swayed slightly in the wind. He was clutching a stack of papers tightly in his hand, as if he were holding some important evidence.

"Wait!" he shouted, his voice not loud, but exceptionally clear in the noisy environment.

All eyes were on him, including Su Yunlan, whose tense nerves seemed to relax slightly.

Master Lin approached the officer and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, there seems to be something fishy about this matter." He handed the officer the papers in his hand, "These are the letters between Master Chen and this gentleman, which detail how they plotted to frame Lady Su, as well as evidence of the bribes you accepted."

The officer's face changed drastically. He snatched the letter, glanced at it briefly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The contents of the letter were crystal clear, exposing his crimes.

He looked at Master Chen in horror. Master Chen was also dumbfounded. He never expected that his carefully planned conspiracy would be exposed by Master Lin.

His face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The onlookers were in an uproar. They never expected that Master Chen would be so despicable as to use such means to frame Su Yunlan.

Aunt Zhao was the first to stand up, pointing her finger at Teacher Chen and cursing, "Teacher Chen, we trusted you so much, and you actually did such a heinous thing!" Other parents echoed her sentiments, condemning Teacher Chen and the officials' behavior.

Su Yunlan felt extremely pleased as she watched this scene.

She knew that justice would ultimately prevail over evil, and those who tried to frame her would eventually receive their due punishment.

The official was intimidated by the crowd's imposing manner. He hurriedly stuffed the letter into his pocket, trying to sneak away.

However, the angry parents would not let him escape so easily.

They surrounded the officials, demanding an explanation.

A slight smile appeared on Su Yunlan's lips. She turned around, wanting to see if Xiao Yuhan was also in the crowd, but found a warm, large hand tightly holding hers...

Xiao Yuhan's large hand tightly enveloped Su Yunlan's hand, his rough palm conveying a reassuring strength.

His gaze was deep and unwavering, like the boundless night sky, filled with his support and love for her.

Su Yunlan gripped his hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm at her fingertips. A warm current flowed into her heart, dispelling the tension and unease from before, and a deep sense of warmth spread through her chest.

She knew that no matter what happened, he would be by her side, fighting alongside her.

As the chaotic crowd gradually dispersed, Master Lin handed another document bearing the official seal to Su Yunlan.

The official's lips trembled, and his voice stammered, "Madam Su, this...this is all a misunderstanding. Your school has all the necessary permits and procedures; everything is legal and compliant. The magistrate even specifically instructed that your righteous act of promoting education for the people be commended!"

The onlookers cheered, their eyes filled with admiration and gratitude as they looked at Su Yunlan.

Su Yunlan unfolded the document in her hand, on which were written the three large characters "Commendation Order". The ink was not yet dry and carried a faint fragrance of ink.

The obsequious smiles of the officials caught her eye, and at that moment they seemed particularly ironic.

She held the document high, and the sunlight shone through the paper, making the three words "commendation order" shine like gold, as if proclaiming the victory of justice.

The cheers grew even louder, and the children jumped for joy, their faces beaming with bright smiles.

Aunt Zhao wiped away her tears with emotion, holding Su Yunlan's hand and thanking her repeatedly.

Su Yunlan stood at the school gate, receiving praise and admiration from all directions.

She straightened her back, feeling the warmth of the sun, and was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

She knew that everything she had done was worthwhile, and that she would stay here and use her knowledge and wisdom to light up the light of hope in the hearts of the children.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, and the children's laughter echoed in her ears like a clear lullaby.

Her gaze swept across the crowd and landed in the distance, where Young Master Xiao was squatting on the ground, patiently explaining something to the children.

His face was radiant with a gentle smile, and his eyes were clear and bright.

Su Yunlan smiled with relief. With him around, the children's future would be even brighter.

At this moment, Xiao Yuhan suddenly walked to her side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I have a secret to tell you tonight." His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of mystery.

Su Yunlan's heart skipped a beat. She looked at him questioningly, about to ask a question, when she heard him say in a voice only the two of them could hear, "About how I discovered that Master Lin was hiding evidence..."

Sunlight streamed through the windows into the classroom, and the children's clear reading voices echoed in the air.

The once unruly children have now become sensible and polite, greeting elders and helping neighbors with small tasks within their capabilities.

On the streets of the small town, the children no longer chased and played, but instead gathered in small groups to discuss the knowledge they had learned in school.

Su Yunlan looked at everything before her and smiled with satisfaction.

She still remembers when she first arrived in the town, the children were ragged, their eyes were blank, and they had no hope for the future.

Today, their eyes sparkle with a thirst for knowledge, and their faces beam with happy smiles.

"Mrs. Su, thank you so much! My child has become a completely different person since he started attending your school. He's become so much more sensible!" Aunt Zhao said, holding Su Yunlan's hand, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion.

"Yes, Madam Su, you are truly a great benefactor to our town!" The other parents echoed, their faces beaming with gratitude.

Looking at the sincere smiling faces, Su Yunlan felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She knew that everything she had done was worthwhile.

She not only changed the children's fate, but also the atmosphere of the entire town.

However, while feeling gratified, Su Yunlan also discovered some new problems.

The town has many artisans with superb skills, but they lack organization and market access and can barely make a living.

Su Yunlan was moved when she saw the exquisite bamboo weaving, lifelike wood carvings and brightly colored embroidery they displayed.

If these handicrafts can be better promoted and sold, they will surely bring greater development to the town.

She strolled through the town's streets, observing the passersby and pondering how to help these artisans.

She noticed that most of the houses in the town were old and simple, lacking any exquisite decorations.

Combining handicrafts with home decoration might open up a new path.

"My wife, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Yuhan's voice interrupted Su Yunlan's thoughts.

Su Yunlan turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling. "I was thinking, perhaps we could..." She paused, her gaze drifting to the artisans setting up their stalls in the distance, a mysterious smile playing on her lips, "...we could..."
