or……

Is it possible that her husband and in-laws have been secretly plotting something big, deliberately using this method to lower her younger brother's guard, and what are they trying to achieve?

Looking at the gold and silver jewelry filling the courtyard, Cui Yuhong finally realized what was going on!

'I see!'

'It seems they knew all along that the second wife would become so incredibly wealthy, which is why they're so eager to curry favor with them!'

'If she had known the second wife would have such good fortune, why would she have bothered with such paltry sums in the past?'

Cui Yuhong thought she had figured out the key point, and she quickly expressed her opinion.

“Third brother is right. Why don’t your eldest brother and I go with you? I’m worried you won’t be able to find your way around since you’re unfamiliar with the area,” Cui Yuhong immediately said with a fawning smile.

She wanted to give herself and her husband a chance to impress the second wife.

That way, they'll have a chance to benefit from the second wife's influence later on, right?

Su Yunshan didn't expect Cui Yuhong to jump out and interrupt at this moment.

He stared sharply at Cui Yuhong, his tone cold and serious: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here."

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't show your face in this kind of situation."

Cui Yuhong never expected her husband to embarrass her in front of so many people. At this moment, she felt as if everyone was watching her like a joke.

If it were according to her previous personality, she would have already pounced on Su Yunshan and started fighting.

But seeing Su Yunshan looking like a cold iceberg, she was a little hesitant.

She suppressed her anger, glared at Su Yunshan with dissatisfaction, and then covered her face, sobbing silently.

After watching the play for a long time, Lin Xiuxiu felt extremely comfortable.

My sister-in-law has been getting a lot of setbacks lately, and whenever she's unhappy, she feels inexplicably better.

It seems my man is really capable; he's so smart that even his random ideas get adopted by my second brother.

He is indeed the man she likes.

The younger generation of the Su and Shen families generally do not speak in such situations.

The matter was quickly settled.

Just as the two families were about to end their meeting, the innkeeper cautiously approached.

The shopkeeper was astute and knew that the fat man here was the one in charge of these people.

He walked up to Su Yunhai and said obsequiously, "Sir, there's a man outside named Gu who claims to be your friend and wants to see you. Would you like to see him?"

Su Yunhai guessed it was Gu Changfeng, nodded to the shopkeeper, and said, "Yes, I'll go with you."

Su Yunhai told everyone to go about their business and went out to meet the guests.

Gu Canghong had a clear understanding of what had happened to the Su family that day, and he quickly realized that the Su family's situation might be dire.

She immediately told Gu Changfeng about her concerns.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat.

He almost forgot that the Su family were just law-abiding citizens with no background. Suddenly possessing a fortune that they couldn't spend in several lifetimes was definitely not something they could keep.

The Su family is definitely in danger!

He immediately gathered the bodyguards who had escorted them back to the capital and rehired them to escort goods for the Su family.

After arriving in Beijing.

The bodyguards were arranged by the Gu family to rest temporarily in a separate courtyard.

Chaos has broken out outside.

The bodyguards won't be able to return to Qinzhou Prefecture anytime soon.

The Gu family told them to rest for a few days and think carefully about their next steps.

The choice is to stay in the capital to find some work and settle down temporarily, or to go back.

Most bodyguards are married men; if they don't have wives and children, they at least have parents and brothers.

They have a hard time making decisions.

When they were escorting the goods, their families were still living in Qinzhou Prefecture.

They had no idea what the current situation was like in Qinzhou Prefecture.

It is unknown whether their families chose to flee the famine or stayed at home to wait for their return.

Seventy percent of the bodyguards ultimately decided to travel together to return and find their families.

Gu Changfeng respected their choice, settled the payment, and prepared a lot of food and water for them.

Hopefully they can return to Qinzhou Prefecture safely.

They initially hired 518 bodyguards, but suffered their greatest losses at Tanqiu Wharf.

Fifty-seven bodyguards were killed in battle, leaving more than four hundred and sixty men.

Three hundred and twenty people chose to return to Qinzhou.

About 140 people chose to stay.

Gu Changfeng spent a lot of money to leave eighty people as guards for the Gu family.

There were more than 80 people, but more than 20 of them felt that the Su family's mission was too dangerous and declined the offer.

The remaining fifty-odd people were all brought over by Gu Changfeng.

“Brother Hai, these bodyguards are not planning to return to Qinzhou Prefecture for various reasons. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I hired them to escort you all the way.”

Su Yunhai was deeply moved that Gu Changfeng had considered things so thoroughly for him.

This friend is worth having; he made the right choice.

"Brother, you've come at just the right time! I was just worried about not being able to take so much money with me. You've really thought of everything." Su Yunhai laughed heartily and welcomed the man into the inn.

Gu Changfeng laughed and said, "I'm glad you don't mind me meddling, but this idea wasn't my first thought. It was my eldest son who had a long-term vision, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it so quickly."

Su Yunhai was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Gu Canghong beside him.

"Good, good, good, not bad at all, brother, your son has the makings of a prime minister! You must nurture him well, I reckon the Gu family will soon produce its fourth prime minister!" Su Yunhai couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Changyao and Su Yunhai were the same age, and Gu Changyao was already a third-rank official.

But he has no hope of becoming prime minister in this lifetime.

Because the capital was about to descend into chaos, and the changes in the court were too great, Gu Changyao could only say that he was out of luck.

Gu Canghong was undoubtedly the youngest prime minister.

Although the original plot of the novel has been changed a lot, it cannot change what is in Gu Canghong's mind.

If he can seize the opportunity, he will probably rise to prominence very quickly!

Gu Canghong was secretly pleased that his uncle had such high expectations of him.

But he was still young-looking, and at that moment he felt his cheeks burning.

Gu Changfeng was surprised that Su Yunhai had such a high opinion of his son.

He was unsure whether the other person was making a casual joke or was serious.

“Brother Hai, you can’t joke like that. My uncle is already doing his best to train my elder brother. My elder brother may be able to help the Gu family reach the top again in his lifetime.”

"It's all about timing and fate," Su Yunhai said mysteriously. "Who can predict the future?"

Gu Changfeng felt helpless; it turned out that he was teasing him.

"Brother Hai, are you really going to leave the capital for the southern barbarian lands?"

"If you stay in the capital, with the Gu and Zhou families looking after you, at least your safety can be guaranteed." Gu Changfeng still wanted to persuade the Su family to stay.

Su Yunhai shook his head without hesitation, thought for a moment, and prepared to give some hints.
