    Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin exchanged a startled nce. How could someone from the capital arrive so quickly? It seemed the Old Marquis was genuinely serious about this matter!


    Su Bin’s brothers and sisters were all perplexed by the unexpected arrival.


    Their curious eyes turned towards Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen, seeking answers.


    “Someone from the capital?” One of them questioned, hoping for an exnation.


    “Could he be a distant rtive of ours?” Another wondered aloud.


    Their father had always insisted they had no rtives in the capital, not even distant ones. He had left the gloomy ce behind, taking all their savings with him.


    However, both Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin remained tight-lipped, sharing a silent understanding.


    Su Bin spoke calmly, “Let’s head down the mountain and see who they are.”


    The vige chief was taken aback, unable to fathom why such important figures would be here. “So many governors areing? Is this for real?”


    The man who had rushed up the mountain finally caught his breath, and with a


    note of anxiety, he confirmed, “It’s true! I swear! There are four opulent wagons and 12 guards on horseback, all armed with swords!”


    Upon hearing this, the vige chief was even more astonished. “I must go down the mountain immediately!”


    She then turned to a few men standing nearby, “You,e with me. Let’s head down and wee these noble guests. Perhaps, with their support, our Qian Family will find good fortune!”


    Despite the vige chief’s excitement, she wasn’t naive. The fact that these noble visitors were searching for Su Bin’s family strongly suggested they were rted to the Su Family.


    The vige chief smiled warmly at Su Bin and his family. “You should also head down the mountain.”


    “If these noble people from the capital are indeed your rtives, there’s no need for you to continue digging up yams.”


    Having made her point, the vige chief then turned to Ms. Lin’s family and delivered a stern warning. “Let’s not make a fuss about what happened just now. If you offend someone important, you might have to leave the vige for good!”


    Ms. Lin, feeling the urge to retaliate andpensate for her injury, was about to curse at the situation, but Qian Dashan swiftly covered her mouth.


    Qian Dashan even assured the vige chief, “Rest assured, we won’t cause any more trouble!”


    He hade to realize that his wife had underestimated the importance of the visitors. With 12 guards apanying her, not to mention the presence of the governor and the County Magistrate, she must hold significant influence in the capital.


    The consequences of offending the Su Family again could be dire, possibly leading to grave oues.


    The vige chief couldn’t wait any longer and immediately led his men down the mountain to greet the noble guests.


    He may not have been a young man, but he hurried down the mountain, anxious not to keep the noble visitors from the capital waiting.


    Su Bin’s siblings also gathered their belongings and headed back home.


    As for Qian Shanmin, conflicting emotions surged within him.


    Earlier, Su Lan’s demeanor had given him hope that she might reciprocate his feelings. But just as he was getting excited about it, the news of the noble visitors disrupted everything.


    What if these noble people turned out to be their rtives and took them back to the capital? That would mean he and Su Lan could never be together.


    However, if they were indeed rtives and intended to bring them back to the capital, Qian Shanmin decided he would step aside. He wouldn’t hold Su Lan back from enjoying the opportunities the capital could offer.


    His intention had been to marry her so they could lead a peaceful life together, not one of wealth and luxury.


    On the other hand, Su Lan didn’t dwell on suchplex thoughts. She felt ted about the possibility of the noble visitors being their rtives. She even asked Qian Shanmin to apany her down the mountain, hoping to seize the chance to express her willingness to be with him.


    Qian Shanmin smiled at her, though his feelings were a mix of joy and sadness. “Alright, I’ll go down the mountain with you..”
