    Qin Silong couldn’t sleep well that night, his mind burdened with thoughts that kept him awake. Consequently, he rose early in the morning.


    After breakfast, they set off for Wang Vige.


    Upon arriving, Qin Silong found Su Ping and his siblings already busy digging yams in the mountains. To his surprise, even Su Qing had joined them, and his wounds had fully healed.


    Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen remained alone at home, which was what they had discussed previously. Qin Silong knew he couldn’t let the hot-tempered man apany them; it would onlyplicate matters. He also decided that Su Qing, Su Ning, and Su Cheng should not go along as they would only be a hindrance. They would have to wait until everyone was in the mountains before they could address the situation and craft a usible story.


    After some time, Qin Zhenzhen and Fourth Brother hurriedly made their way to Wang Vige.


    As they reached the vige, a chatty woman from the neighborhood warmly greeted Qin Zhenzhen and inquired, “Su Bin’s wife, are you going back to your mother’s home with your brother?”


    Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “No, I’m not going to my mother’s home. I have some business to attend to in Wang Vige.”


    The gossiping woman’s curiosity piqued even more at the mention of Wang


    Vige. “Are you going to Su Lan’s house in Wang Vige?”


    As neighbors, they all knew about the marital arrangements of every family, and this chatty woman was no exception. She clearly remembered that Su Lan had married into the Wang Family, and her husband had be a Cultivated Talent, continuing his studies in the prefecture. Rumors had it that Su Lan worked diligently at home, embroidering at night and saving all the money she earned for her husband.


    Su Lan continued to smile, still dreaming about bing the wife of an officer.


    Qin Zhenzhen confirmed, “Yes, Fourth Brother and I are going to Su Bin’s elder sister’s home in Wang Vige.”


    The gossipingdies couldn’t resist the allure of gossip. One of them asked,


    “You’re going with your Fourth Brother? Did something happen?”


    This was precisely the response Qin Zhenzhen had hoped for. She began fabricating a story, “Yes, something happened, and we need to go and check on it. ”


    The gossipingdies were eager for more details, so one of them probed, “What happened? Can you tell me what’s making you so anxious? Maybe I can help with some ideas.”


    Qin Zhenzhen dly obliged and started sharing the story, “Last night, Fourth Brother overheard that Su Bin’s brother-inw had returned home, and they had a heated argument. Things escted, and the brother-inw even hit Su Bin’s sister.”


    The gossiping woman was taken aback, “What? Are you saying you’re standing up for Su Lan?”


    Qin Zhenzhen nodded firmly, “Yes, that’s true.”


    “I’m not sure how serious the situation is, and all the brothers are in the mountains, so it will take time to get them back. That’s why I want to go there first and assess the situation.”


    “But my Fourth Brother is worried that I, being a woman, might be vulnerable, so he wants to apany me for protection.”


    “In any case, we’re on our way there now.”


    “Please, keep this information to yourself; we don’t want it spreading identally.”


    The gossiping woman assured her, “Don’t worry, Su Bin’s wife, I understand! I won’t say a word!”


    As Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong walked away, the gossiping woman quickly found another woman to share the story with, and soon enough, the news spread throughout the vige.


    “Su Bin is lucky to have such a capable wife!”


    “That’s right. She used her dowries to benefit the Su Family and helped the entire vige make money.”


    “Now, when she heard about her elder sister being mistreated by her brother-inw, she rushed to help immediately..”
