Chapter 975: Preparation for a Rainy Day (800+ extra monthly votes)

And thinking of all this, Su Xiaowan felt an unprecedented crisis, a sense of bondage that she could not control her life. Since ancient times, the common people did not fight against officials.

If she offended the Leng General too harshly, not to mention the danger her relatives in Kyoto might face, it would be extremely challenging to develop better in the northwest, to find a place for her family to live.
