Chapter 1538: In 1538, while Zhuanchuanzi was unconscious, he was forced into a marriage.

Yinzhu was previously known in the martial world as Lady Knight Jiang; she was no ordinary maid or servant girl. Even the common people understood that surpassing the first-class family the Xiao Family was an impossible feat.

However, for some inexplicable reason, she just trusted that the young lady could do it, "Young lady, you will."

Su Qingyue turned around, her gaze coolly fixed on her, "You trust me?"

"Who else could rise from being penniless and heavily in debt to your current wealth?" Even though Yinzhu did not know exactly how much money the young lady had, she was aware that a lot had been earned. "Whatever the young lady says, this servant will believe."

"To have a maid like you, I am truly comforted."

"This servant only regrets not having the ability to offer more assistance to the young lady."

"Staying by my side and taking care of my daily needs is already very good."

"Young lady, you’re being too kind; it is you who provide for this servant."

"Enough, there’s no need for such formalities between you and me." Su Qingyue waved her hand dismissively.

Yinzhu stepped behind her, perplexed, "Young lady, who was that man in black just now?"

"He’s someone I saved unintentionally, and because of certain reasons, his identity cannot be exposed. He’s a useful asset, so I have taken him into my service." Su Qingyue didn’t go into too much detail, "You can just call him Fu Chou."

"Oh." Yinzhu still had unanswered questions, "Young lady, regarding the forty-three-story buildings with courtyards in Longwan Town, you must have arranged a buyer long ago, right? Otherwise, how could they have been sold so quickly?"

"Hmm." Su Qingyue did not deny it. Actually, before the Xiao couple appeared, she had already begun working in secret, preparing to establish power, and the two instances of her absence from town even led her third brother to mistakenly think she had gone on dates with Chang Haotian. After the Xiao couple showed up, she had no interest in contending with them, focusing all her energy on amassing her forces in secret.

Nowadays, she had quietly united a group of people and preliminarily established—Tianji Pavilion.

"Young lady, will we be living in the capital city from now on?" Yinzhu had many questions.

Su Qingyue had the patience to answer, "The capital city will be our base as we gradually expand our power, without being confined to the capital city."

"But..." Yinzhu worried, "the Xiao Family will not give you the chance to rise."

"That’s why..." Su Qingyue slanted her lips slightly, "I can’t use the name Su Qingyue. It has to be a new power."

Yinzhu earnestly said, "This servant supports the young lady."

"Good girl." Su Qingyue smiled and lightly patted her head.

Yinzhu grumbled, "Young lady, you’re only sixteen and I’m almost ten years older than you, yet you seem so much more sensible than this servant."

Su Qingyue only smiled without responding.

...

Inside one of the luxurious side rooms on the second floor of the inn, Xiao Chonghuan received a letter from the Gongsun Family in capital city.

"Master, what does the Gongsun Family say?" Shen Yun asked, her expression filled with melancholy.

"Master Gongsun, Gongsun Xi, stated that he is extremely angry about the rumors spreading throughout the land about Chuan’er calling off the marriage with the Gongsun Family, believing it has brought shame to the Gongsun Family’s face," Xiao Chonghuan replied with a grave expression.

Shen Yun was anxious, "What are we to do then? Master, hadn’t you already written to Master Gongsun, stating that our two families would definitely form a marital alliance?"

Xiao Chonghuan’s expression grew solemn, "If the Gongsun Family turns hostile, two first-class families becoming enemies could allow the second and third-rate aristocratic families to reap the benefits. Chuan’er must marry Gongsun Qianru!"

Wrinkles creasing around her eyes from worry, Shen Yun was nearly in a panic, "Master, you’ve seen it yourself, Su Qingyue signed the divorce paper, Chuan’er even tore up the divorce paper, if he wakes up, he will in no way marry Miss Gongsun. What if..."
