When they passed by the Minister’s Estate, Madam Wu rushed out and quickly embraced her two sons, her heart bleeding with anguish. “General Su is too heartless! Even if they made a mistake, you should show some leniency!”

“As the captain of the Black Cloud Cavalry, I should set an example. These two neglected their training and defected from the camp, tarnishing the reputation of the Black Cloud Cavalry. They should be executed!” Su Hao’s handsome face was filled with cold determination.

Madam Wu was almost fainting from fear.

Wu Lang and Wu Ping clung to Madam Wu, shouting, “Mother, save us! Save us! The military camp is too harsh! We can’t endure it! Mother!”

“Help! Mother!”

“My sons, my sons…” Madam Wu cried and glared at Su Hao with hatred. “It’s you! You deliberately recruited my sons and made things difficult for them, all because of that little wench, Wu Jinyan!”

“Madam, please watch your words! The Black Cloud Cavalry never forces anyone to join. If they were unwilling, the Black Cloud Cavalry would not coerce them. But since they chose to join the military camp and harbored the intention to run away, our Great Cheng Dynasty cannot tolerate such cowardice! From now on, they will no longer have the qualification to serve in the military camp!” Su Hao’s voice was resolute.

As a result, Wu Lang and Wu Ping’s paths as generals were cut off. Even if they wanted to serve in a low-ranking position, they would not be allowed.

With a criminal record, their future careers were ruined.

“No, my sons would never… my children…”

Madam Wu fainted due to the shock.

Su Hao continued to lead Wu Lang and Wu Ping around the city as a warning to soldiers and civilians.

Su Yingxue supported Wu Jinyan as they walked, allowing her to witness the dilapidated state of the Minister’s Estate. She asked in a low voice, “Sister, do you feel better now?”

Wu Jinyan smiled with a hint of sadness. “Certainly!”

Su Yingxue smiled. “Then let me help you back.”

Wu Jinyan followed her silently back to rest. The Minister’s Estate, where she had lived and grown up for over a decade, was behind her.

However, she had always lived in the shadowy part of the Minister’s Estate. Its glory and grandeur had nothing to do with her. Today, the humiliation and downfall of the Minister’s Estate had nothing to do with her.

Finally, she had achieved her freedom.

Wu Jinyan originally thought that Su Yingxue was taking her back to the clinic, but as they walked, they arrived at a storefront. It was located opposite the clinic and had a prime location.

Wu Jinyan looked puzzled and asked, “Why did you bring me here?”

Su Yingxue showed her around the shop, both upstairs and downstairs. “Sister, look at this shop. What can we do?”

Wu Jinyan looked around the shop. There were more than ten rooms, and the first floor’s hall was spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people. The space was ample and excellent.

However, she furrowed her brows. “This place is good, but using it for a clinic might not be appropriate. Firstly, it’s too close to Tongchang Medical Center. Secondly, the rent here must be high. If we don’t use it for business, we might suffer losses.”

“Sister, you have foresight and ideas. So, I’ll leave this place to you to do business. There shouldn’t be any problems!” Su Yingxue smiled.

“What? You want me to run a business here? 1 can’t do that!” Wu Jinyan immediately shook her head. This investment and expenses were significant, and she couldn’t let Su Yingxue incur such a substantial loss.

“Sister, don’t rush to refuse. Let me ask you, you are familiar with spices and very interested in the production of cosmetics like rouge and powder. You have a pair of skillful hands and a clever mind.. If I hand over the storefront to you, what would you use it for?”
