A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

Su Yuzhao insisted on going her own way.

She wasn't assertive, but she was stubborn. Once she made up her mind, she was determined to find out and understand it completely.

Lan Xiu, on the other hand, lacks assertiveness in many matters. He is willing to listen to his elder brother, his parents, and naturally, his wife as well.

He was quickly led away by his wife.

"She's really intelligent, and has a reserved personality, much like my mother," Su Yuzhao said. "She's also a bit like my father."

She also said, "Mu He doesn't seem like it."

In both appearance and personality, Lan Muhe was completely different from Madam Lan. She also had her strengths; she had an exceptional memory and excelled academically, making the Lan family very proud of their daughter.

Back in the girls' high school, Lan Muhe and Su Yuzhao were both outstanding students.

Every time Su Yuzhao got first place, Lan Muhe would accuse her of using her father's connections in the Education Bureau to get advance access to the exam papers; and Lan Muhe herself would claim that getting first place was due to her innate talent.

The two fought twice as a result.

Lan Xiu offered his opinion, saying objectively, "Mu He, you're a sore loser. You always think the worst of people."

For this reason, Lan Muhe dislikes Lan Xiu, and the two siblings often quarrel.

Su Yuzhao developed a strong liking for Lanxiu because of this.

This man, who was so indecisive, only had a clear opinion on matters concerning her, so Su Yuzhao knew at that time that Lanxiu liked her very much.

He always trusted her implicitly.

Now, Lanxiu also trusts Su Yuzhao's judgment regarding Qin Yan's matter.

In his eyes, Su Yuzhao was an exceptionally intelligent person.

"I'm not trying to cause trouble for Muhe, I just want justice for my mother. I'll go crazy if someone replaces Xi'er," Su Yuzhao said.

Xi'er is her daughter, who is three years old this year, and is also her and Lanxiu's only child.

She loves her daughter very much.

Considering her own situation, she knew she couldn't let things slide; and she also discovered that her mother-in-law didn't really like Lan Muhe, but was deliberately hiding it.

The instinctive repulsion between mother and daughter reveals something, unless her mother-in-law is ill.

My mother-in-law was not sick; she was a healthy lady, both physically and mentally, and even described as loving and magnanimous, and she doted on her daughters-in-law.

"Starting tomorrow, I will go to the military hospital to stay with my grandmother until she recovers and returns home," Su Yuzhao said.

"Be careful Muhe doesn't upset you. If you argue with her, Grandma won't take your side," Lanxiu said.

Su Yuzhao: "I won't argue with her."

"She can't tolerate you," Lanxiu said. "She's the most important person to Grandmother. She'll even nitpick at my mother in front of Grandmother, let alone you? She'll find fault with everything you do."

Su Yuzhao: "Don't worry, I'll leave if something goes wrong. I think Grandmother is the source, and it's good that Muhe is here; maybe she's not innocent either."

Lan Xiu got goosebumps all over after thinking about these words.

"Okay, tell me if you're upset, and be careful," Lanxiu said.

Su Yuzhao went to the military hospital the next day.

She brought several of her grandmother's favorite snacks.

The family's old servant, Chief of Staff Lan, forbade the old grandmother from eating overly sweet pastries; Lan Muhe also stopped her.

The elderly are like children; if you don't give them food, they want to eat more.

"...Muhe has just gone out, let me have a piece." Grandmother said with a smile.

The old grandmother didn't really like Su Yuzhao because Lan Muhe had said a lot of bad things about her; but when she saw the snacks, the old lady's mouth watered.

I had just eaten a piece when I heard footsteps outside. It sounded like Lan Muhe was talking to the nurse.

The old lady immediately said, "Quick, hide it."

Su Yuzhao chuckled: "Where to hide it?"

"Toilet."

Su Yuzhao packed up the remaining snacks and slipped into the hospital room's bathroom. Before she could find a place to hide, Lan Muhe entered.

"Grandmother, do you know that Cheng Tianxun's newspaper actually smeared my eldest brother!" Lan Muhe said.

Su Yuzhao was taken aback.

She reads the Baihua Times every day and there are no articles that smear the Lan family.

Lan Muhe must have misunderstood.

The old lady was furious when she heard this: "Is she really that wicked? Your older brother didn't do anything to her."

"Grandmother, I suspect she not only wants to smear my elder brother, but also wants to kill him," Lan Muhe said.

The old woman was shocked and worried: "Why?"

"Some people are just bad, who knows. I'm going to the doctor's office to call my older brother and tell him to be careful these days," Lan Muhe said.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Go quickly!"

Lan Muhe went out again.

Su Yuzhao came out of the restroom, carrying some snacks in her hand.

The old lady seemed to have forgotten about her hiding the snacks earlier, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Su Yuzhao: "Grandmother, your memory is a little failing you these days."

"Oh, just now..."

The old lady then remembered, "When I heard about A-Zheng, my mind went blank. I'll fight anyone who tries to harm A-Zheng. I can't bear to be apart from A-Zheng and Mu-He."

"I didn't understand," Su Yuzhao said with a smile.

She wanted to ask more questions, but then Lan Muhe returned.

She said she couldn't get through on the phone, and no one answered at Lan Zheng's yard; then she looked at Su Yuzhao in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Upon seeing the pastries in her hand, Lan Muhe immediately scolded Su Yuzhao.

Lan Muhe spoke with a smile, but her words implied that Su Yuzhao wanted to kill her grandmother, and that her intentions were despicable.

Su Yuzhao had no choice but to take the snacks away.

After returning home, Su Yuzhao called Lan Xiu's office and asked him to find a way to contact Lan Zheng, and to be careful in the next few days.

No matter what happens, it's always good to be careful.

Lanxiu said he knew.

Lan Zheng has not yet found a job after returning to China. The warlord promised to arrange a position for him in the army, but there is no suitable one yet.

He helped with household chores, ran errands for his mother, and looked after the accounts. Lanxiu wanted to find his older brother, but couldn't find him for a while.

In the evening, Lanxiu returned home to find the living room full of people; her grandmother had actually been discharged from the hospital and returned home.

The old lady was furious: "We must get an explanation from the warlord!"

While Lan Changming was stationed at his post, his wife, Du Jia, was in charge of his household affairs.

Madam Lan said, "Mother, how could Cheng Tianxun's young mistress send someone to assassinate A-Zheng? That's impossible."

Lan Zheng himself said, "Grandmother, it was just an accidental car accident."

"Are cars common?" the grandmother asked. "For someone to hit you with a car out of nowhere is a deliberate attempt to harm you. You silly child, don't you understand the malicious intentions of others?"

"This person went to the police station. He's just a local businessman who usually takes this route home. It's none of anyone else's business," Lan Zheng said.

The old lady disagreed.

She was convinced that Qin Yan was the one who wanted to murder Lan Zheng.

The conversation clearly revealed that the young mistress harbored resentment towards the Lan family.

After listening for a while, Madam Lan had a cloud of doubt in her mind.

On the contrary, the second son, Lan Jun, couldn't keep anything to himself and asked directly, "Grandmother, what grudge does that young mistress have against our family?"

"...Who knows? Didn't Cheng Tianxun hit someone?" The old lady choked.

The Lan couple remained silent.

"From now on, when you encounter that person, just avoid him," the old lady added.

She forbade her family members from seeing Qin Yan, or even mentioning her.

Madam Lan frowned slightly.
