Reincarnation and Rebirth

The news of the appearance of a deity in Ziyun Kingdom spread like wildfire, and the restless Mingyue Kingdom dared not make any rash moves. General Fu was so frightened that he disappeared overnight. The Zhenguan Army was leaderless. After receiving the news, Zi Xingchen ordered the whole country to hunt down General Fu and promoted a deputy general who had not been bribed by Mingyue Kingdom to a higher position. However, that person was mediocre, and after the court was stabilized, a suitable person would have to be found.

The advantage is that the military power of the Zhenguan Army is now in his hands.

Those officials and wealthy merchants who had previously fled the capital quietly returned after hearing of Zi Yan's crushing defeat, acting as if nothing had happened.

In this life, the Right Chancellor did not die; it was the Left Chancellor, the Empress Dowager Chu's nephew, who died.

After sending the people back to the capital, Su Wan'er went to the cave to pick up her family.

When the younger children saw Su Wan'er return, they excitedly shouted, "Big sister, big sister, big sister is back!"

"Sister Wan'er is back."

Wang and Wu rushed out excitedly, looking Su Wan'er up and down, "Wan'er, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm back safe and sound."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I was so worried that you wouldn't be able to come home for the New Year."

Is tomorrow the New Year? Su Wan'er was in a daze. How did they celebrate the New Year in her past life? It seemed that she had foolishly prepared a lot of food and delivered it to Zi Xingchen. However, when it was time to eat, he invited Su Qing'er's family over, while her family could only eat dry steamed buns. Why? Because in her past life, she never cultivated or upgraded her space. There were no living creatures inside. Meat such as pheasants and wild boars were not easy to obtain. Apart from grains, there was nothing else.

Thinking of the original owner's foolishness in her previous life, Su Wan'er clapped her hands in anger, "We'll make dumplings for dinner tomorrow."

"Dumplings? What's that?"

"Are the dumplings delicious?" Su Zhao'er asked curiously, blinking her big eyes, with some unidentified liquid at the corner of her mouth.

"It's delicious, so delicious! Mom, do you have any more flour at home?"

"Yes, Mother is thinking of steaming some buns tomorrow. There's still some pork left from last time."

"Then we'll use half to make steamed buns and the other half to make dumplings."

Seeing her eldest daughter so happy, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Alright, I'll do whatever you say. Tell me what to do."

After Su Wan'er finished giving her instructions, Madam Wang and Madam Wu went to attend to their tasks. Only then did Su Youlu bring Zhang Dazhuang over. "Wan'er, what's going on outside?"

"The battle is over, and Zi Yan has suffered a crushing defeat."

"Really?" The two were overjoyed.

"Then can we go back to Suhe Village?" Zhang Dazhuang rubbed his hands together, looking very happy.

When Su Youlu heard that he was going back to Suhe Village, he hesitated and glanced at Su Wan'er uneasily.

"Father, you don't need to look after me. You can go back if you want," Su Wan'er said, seemingly unconcerned.

"No, Father doesn't want to go back. Now that our family has been removed from the family genealogy, Suhe Village probably won't accept us anymore. I just want to ask Wan'er what she thinks."

Hmm, not bad, this cheap dad is getting more and more to my liking.

"Why don't we stay in the capital?"

Su Youlu worried, "But Father only knows how to farm, and it won't be easy for us to stay. Although we've been expelled from the family register, our household registration is still in Meizhou. Will they let us stay?"

"How will I know if I don't try?" Su Wan'er didn't care at all. She had money; how could she not buy a house or get a household registration?

Seeing his daughter's words, Su Youlu felt relieved. "Alright, let's give it a try. If it really doesn't work, we can go back to Sunset City. We can't stay in the village, but we can go to the town and I can still do manual labor like before."

"Father, I want to stay in the capital." How can I take revenge if I don't stay? Su Wan'er smiled and said, "Besides, when Ming'er grows up, I want to send him to school. The schools in the capital are definitely better than those in our countryside."

Speaking of his son, Su Youlu's smile deepened. "Studying is good, studying is good, studying will lead to a bright future. He can also be a support for you older sisters in the future. Don't worry, Dad will work hard to earn money so that you can live a good life."

Su Wan'er nodded. It wasn't that she really wanted Su Ming to be their backer, but she felt that Su Youlu's thinking was already a great improvement. As for making money, she decided against it. She wouldn't feel at ease spending the money Su Youlu earned from manual labor.

To be honest, Su Youlu used to work alone to support such a large family and several scholars, which means he earned quite a lot. Su Wan'er didn't believe that Su Youcai would really work hard at the master's house; she guessed that Su Youlu did most of the work.

Speaking of the Su family, now that one person has attained enlightenment, the whole family has ascended to heaven. Su Ping led his army back to welcome the Empress Dowager, and the villagers who received the news stood at the crossroads, eagerly anticipating the arrival.

Especially the Su Dewang family, who stood in front of Old Madam Su with Su Hehua, saying, "In-laws, I told you long ago that your Su Ping would definitely be successful. Look, he's already become a general."

"Yes, I heard that my nephew has become a general. As his uncle, I am happy for him." Su Chunhui actually took the initiative to talk to the Su family. However, the man who used to be gentle and kind now had sunken eyes and a calculating and sinister look.

Grandma Su glanced at her youngest daughter in the middle and felt a little sorry for her. Su Hehua, who used to be plump, had lost a lot of weight in such a short time. Her clothes were loose and shapeless, and her face was covered in dirt, making it impossible to see her features. She could even vaguely see the dirty blood at the corner of her mouth.

Su Youfu snorted, "What does it have to do with you that my son becomes a general? Village chief, you offended the Crown Prince before, so it's best not to get involved now. If the Crown Prince remembers something, you'll be the ones who suffer in the end."

A flash of resentment crossed Su Dewang's eyes. "Youfu, what are you saying? We are in-laws after all, and Hehua is your own sister. If the Crown Prince really takes his anger out on us, it won't do you any good either."

“Village chief, now that my sister has married into your family, she is one of your family members. What does she have to do with us?” Su Youfu glanced at the meek Su Hehua and said disdainfully, “It would be best if she stayed away from us, lest she bring bad luck to us.”

Given Su Hehua's usual temperament, she would have definitely started a huge argument after hearing these words. But to everyone's surprise, she lowered her head even further and murmured, "Brother, please, my husband is a scholar after all. Please talk to the Crown Prince and ask him to come to the capital with me."

Grandma Su felt even more sorry for her. "Hehua, did they force you? It's alright. Our Su family isn't someone to be trifled with now. If you really can't stand it, we'll get a divorce."

Divorce? Su Hehua looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation.
