Chapter 73: The Silent Strike

Lin Yuer's response to the growing threat is swift and precise. She strengthens her estate's security, ensuring that all vulnerable points are well-guarded. But more importantly, she begins to play the political game on a larger scale, carefully orchestrating her moves to destabilize Lord Xian's final stronghold—his grip over the emperor's remaining allies.

With Wei Li's guidance, Lin Yuer begins a covert campaign of persuasion, targeting those still loyal to Lord Xian. She sends trusted emissaries with carefully crafted messages, each designed to exploit weaknesses in Lord Xian's alliances. Slowly but surely, his supporters begin to question their loyalty. Those who once feared his wrath now find themselves on the cusp of abandoning him in favor of Lin Yuer's vision for the future.

In the midst of this, Lin Yuer also focuses on the people—the heart of her support. She attends markets, visits workers in her factories, and engages with the common folk. She gives speeches about unity, prosperity, and a future where all can thrive. The people rally around her, and her public image grows stronger.

But as the final strike against Lord Xian's faction is prepared, a dark shadow looms over Lin Yuer's plans. A series of mysterious disappearances among her allies sends a chilling message. The battle is about to escalate, and Lin Yuer must be ready to confront the forces that wish to tear her down.
