However, at that time, Chen Lin’er was merely eight years old. The true perpetrator of the crime shouldn’t be her, but a member of her family.

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

Wang Yi, contemplating this, couldn’t help but notice that Chen Lin’er didn’t fit the profile of a girl raised in rural surroundings.

With this realization, Wang Yi smirked, as if conveying to Chen Lin’er that she could escape unscathed if she played her cards right and kept her identity under wraps.

However, a subtle warning accompanied that smile, suggesting that if she proved uncooperative and refused to relinquish her assets, he wouldn’t hesitate to act ruthlessly.

Even Wang San, witnessing Chen Lin’er’s expression, couldn’t escape the fear that gripped him. Nonetheless, he remained steadfast in defending her. “Clan Leader, spare me your ominous words!”

Chen Lin’er, 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 Leader’s cunning nature had deceived her too easily. In this moment, she harbored an unwillingness to surrender her assets.

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 Lin’er sneered at the Clan Leader. “If you’re aware of my identity, promptly report it to the authorities! Regardless, I won’t yield my assets today!”

“Let me make it clear—I’ve 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!”

“We’ve long severed ties with your Wang family!”

“Hence, you’ve no right to swoop in and claim our belongings!”

“Don’t assume I’m powerless. Mrs. Su assured me that if I encounter any troubles, I can seek her assistance!”

Chen Lin’er’s words held weight, prompting the Clan Leader to remain silent, albeit temporarily.

However, one man, fueled by indignation, shouted, “Clan Leader, don’t 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 Su’s willingness to overturn Chen Lin’er’s case wasn’t solely for her but rather tied to Governor Su’s 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 Lin’er and Wang Sanwei.

Wang San tightened his grip on the stick. “Don’t assume I won’t strike you just because of your seniority. Take another step, and don’t 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 Lin’er 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.

Wang Yi and the others were well aware of Mrs. Su’s status.

In the presence of a government official’s wife, they wouldn’t dare to seize Chen Lin’er’s belongings.

Chen Lin’er’s recent proclamation held weight, and Mrs. Su’s support seemed evident.

It appeared that they wouldn’t 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 Lin’er’s house, she confirmed that the information Su Bin provided was accurate.

Indeed, the members of Chen Lin’er’s husband’s family had come to take control of the assets.

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 anticipated the unfolding events..
