    The onlookers instinctively cleared a path for Qin Zhenzhen.


    “Sister Chen, why is there such amotion at your house?”<div>


    Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s voice, tears welled up in Chen Lin’er’s eyes.


    Mrs. Su had addressed her as “Sister Chen”!


    “Sister Chen, what’s the matter? Has someone mistreated you?”


    Qin Zhenzhen reached for a handkerchief, intending to wipe away Chen Lin’er’s tears.


    Embarrassed, Chen Lin’er took the handkerchief and said, “Mrs. Su, I can manage it myself.”


    Wang San hurriedly briefed Qin Zhenzhen on the situation.


    Looking at Wang Yi, Qin Zhenzhen questioned, “Are you the n Leader of the


    Wang Family? Are you leading your n to im Sister Chen’s assets?”


    Wang Yi, feeling awkward, exined, “Mrs. Su, it’s not a robbery. It’s our family tradition. The rules are in ce to safeguard the family’s wealth.” “These rules were revised with the consensus of the entire n.’


    “We came here to discuss with Ms. Chen. If she decides to remain within the n, we won’t take her assets. However, if she chooses to marry outside, we must reim these possessions.”


    Seeing Qin Zhenzhen address Chen Lin’er so warmly, Wang Yi tactfully stepped back.<div>


    He didn’t want to provoke bandits, and tangling with an official’s wife was equally unwise.


    Retreating might grant him a broader perspective on the situation.


    If Chen Lin’er dered her intention to stay within the n, he could temporarily retain her assets. Later, he might select a boy from his descendants, having Chen Lin’er adopt him under her name.


    Chen Lin’er, being still young, wouldn’t likely endure until marriage. Once she married, her family’s assets would automatically transfer to her husband.


    If Chen Lin’er resisted marriage, they had a means topel her.


    In that scenario, they might even secure a dowry.


    Wang Yi had a well-devised n. Presently, he appeared quite reasonable, leaving Mrs. Su with no grounds forint and earning gratitude from Chen Lin’er.


    Chen Lin’er’s expression indeed reflected happiness.


    She was on the verge of pledging never to marry again when Qin Zhenzhen halted her with a nce. “You don’t need to say anything now. Let me handle this matter.”


    Chen Lin’er nodded. “Alright.”


    Qin Zhenzhen turned her attention to Wang Yi with a smile. “n Leader Wang, I can discern your intentions.”


    “If Sister Chen agrees not to remarry, you aim to choose a boy from your lineage and have her adopt him, correct?”


    Wang Yi’s demeanor shifted. “I…”


    “By doing so, you’d effectively coerce her into marriage, consolidating all of Sister Chen’s family assets within your own. Other n members wouldn’t receive any share, am I right?”


    Wang Yi’s face reddened. “I never thought of it in that way…”


    Upon hearing the n Leader’s n, other n members immediately voiced their objections.


    “n Leader, are you out of your senses? ording to our n rules, when a woman loses her elders and husband and has no son, she is considered extinct!”


    “As an extinct family, she must return all the assets to the n for distribution!”


    “Chen Lin’er is too young to be a widow.”


    “Hence, her assets should be reimed by the n!”


    Wang Yi continued to signal discreetly to his nsmen, suggesting that this was merely a provisional solution he was considering. His actual intentions would unfold once he deceived Mrs. Su.


    Regrettably, his fellow nsmen were already blinded by the allure of potential gains.


    “n Leader, we must adhere to the n rules!”


    Wang Yi, wearing a troubled expression, addressed Qin Zhenzhen, “Mrs.. Su, you see, being the n Leader puts me in a challenging position…
