However, at that time, Chen Liner was merely eight years old. The true perpetrator of the crime shouldnt be her, but a member of her family.

In this society, a single family members misdeed cast a shadow on the entire clan, akin to the officials whose properties had been seized.

w.a.n.g Yi, contemplating this, couldnt help but notice that Chen Liner didnt fit the profile of a girl raised in rural surroundings.

With this realization, w.a.n.g Yi smirked, as if conveying to Chen Liner that she could escape unscathed if she played her cards right and kept her ident.i.ty under wraps.

However, a subtle warning accompanied that smile, suggesting that if she proved uncooperative and refused to relinquish her a.s.sets, he wouldnt hesitate to act ruthlessly.

Even w.a.n.g San, witnessing Chen Liners expression, couldnt escape the fear that gripped him. Nonetheless, he remained steadfast in defending her. Clan Leader, spare me your ominous words!

Chen Liner, snapping back to reality, regretted her earlier outburst. It was implausible that her husband had divulged her background, and even her in-laws were unaware. Why would she confide in the Clan Leader?

Yet, the Clan Leaders cunning nature had deceived her too easily. In this moment, she harbored an unwillingness to surrender her a.s.sets.

Why should their hard-earned family shop be dissected by these clan members? While she might be powerless against them, having Mrs. Su by her side gave her a semblance of strength.

Chen Liner sneered at the Clan Leader. If youre aware of my ident.i.ty, promptly report it to the authorities! Regardless, I wont yield my a.s.sets today!

Let me make it clearIve faced death itself without flinching. So, why would I cower before the likes of you? You think you can use clan rules to stifle me?

When my family suffered harm, and I faced the gallows without a murmur, we ceased to be a part of your clan!

Weve long severed ties with your w.a.n.g family!

Hence, youve no right to swoop in and claim our belongings!

Dont a.s.sume Im powerless. Mrs. Su a.s.sured me that if I encounter any troubles, I can seek her a.s.sistance!

Chen Liners words held weight, prompting the Clan Leader to remain silent, albeit temporarily.

However, one man, fueled by indignation, shouted, Clan Leader, dont be swayed by her nonsense! Who is she? Who is Mrs. Su? Mrs. Su enjoys a prestigious status. How can she make such promises?

This topic had been privately debated among them. They believed Governor Sus willingness to overturn Chen Liners case wasnt solely for her but rather tied to Governor Sus recent appointment.

The wooden box she holds contains the deeds to the house and shop. We outnumber them two to seven. Why should we fear losing to them?

These words rekindled their determination, and four middle-aged men advanced toward Chen Liner and w.a.n.g Sanwei.

w.a.n.g San tightened his grip on the stick. Dont a.s.sume I wont strike you just because of your seniority. Take another step, and dont blame me for disregarding the rules!

As tensions escalated, and a confrontation seemed imminent, a voice from outside the door halted the impending clash.

Mrs. Su has arrived!

Chen Liner felt a surge of joy.

Mrs. Su had upheld her promise.

She had mentioned visiting when she found the time, and true to her word, she appeared today, right on time.

w.a.n.g Yi and the others were well aware of Mrs. Sus status.

In the presence of a government officials wife, they wouldnt dare to seize Chen Liners belongings.

Chen Liners recent proclamation held weight, and Mrs. Sus support seemed evident.

It appeared that they wouldnt succeed in claiming her possessions.

Qin Zhenzhen accompanied only by an elderly woman arrived.

Before the carriage entered the alley, she instructed the coachman to halt.

Observing the gathering crowd outside Chen Liners house, she confirmed that the information Su Bin provided was accurate.

Indeed, the members of Chen Liners husbands family had come to take control of the a.s.sets.

In the past, she had only heard rumors of their oppressive behavior, but now, she could witness it firsthand.

Curious to see the expressions on their faces, she eagerly antic.i.p.ated the unfolding events..
