Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 97 Su Jinxiu's Persistence, Test of Trust

Su Jinxiu knew the road ahead was fraught with thorns, but her belief burned like a blazing flame, growing ever stronger. Every setback became her motivation to move forward, and every threat only strengthened her resolve.

The atmosphere in the Marquis's mansion grew increasingly oppressive, with everyone feeling weary and fearful in this invisible war. However, Su Jinxiu's eyes remained bright, and her figure moved through every corner of the mansion, encouraging everyone.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. As long as we unite as one, we will definitely overcome this difficulty." Su Jinxiu's voice was gentle yet firm.

In her quest for more evidence, Su Jinxiu often ventured alone into dangerous territory. On one occasion, she learned that a crucial document might be hidden in an abandoned warehouse, and despite the presence of thugs there, she went there without hesitation.

The warehouse was dark and damp, filled with the smell of decay. Su Jinxiu cautiously groped her way forward when suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching.

"Who?" Su Jinxiu's heart jumped into her throat.

She hid behind a pile of clutter, holding her breath. Several dark figures walked past her, discussing matters concerning the Marquis's residence.

"We must destroy the Marquis's mansion and ensure they never have a chance to rise again."

Su Jinxiu clenched her fists and continued searching for the documents after those people left.

After much effort, she finally found the document in a corner. However, just as she was about to leave, the warehouse door suddenly slammed shut, and a fire broke out all around.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Su Jinxiu thought with alarm.

Thick smoke billowed as the fire spread rapidly. Su Jinxiu covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, trying to find an exit. Just when she felt despair, she suddenly discovered a ventilation shaft.

She struggled to climb towards the ventilation shaft and finally escaped the inferno.

Back at the Marquis's residence, Xiao Ling was heartbroken to see her disheveled state.

"Jinxiu, why are you doing this?" Xiao Ling said.

Su Jinxiu smiled slightly: "For the Marquis's mansion, for our future, it's all worth it."

However, Su Jinxiu's persistence provoked even more frenzied retaliation from the enemy. The Marquis's estate was constantly damaged, and her family members were frequently threatened.

"Madam, why don't we give up? This can't go on," a servant advised.

Su Jinxiu said with a firm gaze, "No, we've come this far, we absolutely cannot give up."

At the same time, Su Jinxiu discovered that some servants in the Marquis's mansion were behaving strangely, as if they had been bribed by the enemy.

"We must find these traitors." Su Jinxiu began her investigation in secret.

One day, while investigating the mole, Su Jinxiu discovered a shocking secret.

It turns out that there was an even more powerful force manipulating everything behind the enemy, and this force had a close relationship with a certain powerful figure in the imperial court.

"No wonder we're having such a hard time; there's a hidden hand behind it all." Su Jinxiu felt a chill run down her spine.

But this discovery also gave her a glimmer of hope; if she could expose this force, the Marquis's mansion might be able to turn the tide.

Su Jinxiu decides to take a gamble. Will she succeed?

During this process, the trust between Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling was also tested, and they needed to overcome it together.

As the situation became increasingly complex and dangerous, rumors began to circulate quietly within the Marquis's residence. Some said that Su Jinxiu was preparing to compromise with the enemy to protect herself; others said that Xiao Ling, under pressure from the court, intended to abandon Su Jinxiu.

These rumors, like poisonous thorns, gradually eroded the deep trust between Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling.

One day, Xiao Ling returned from the imperial court with a gloomy expression. Su Jinxiu asked him what had happened with concern, but Xiao Ling simply said, "Nothing, just some trivial matters."

Su Jinxiu sensed that Xiao Ling was hiding something from her, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

"Could it be that he really has something he can't tell me?" Su Jinxiu wondered to herself.

Xiao Ling also noticed that Su Jinxiu had been acting alone lately, without consulting him.

"Jinxiu, do you no longer trust me?" Xiao Ling finally couldn't help but ask.

Su Jinxiu hurriedly explained, "Husband, I just didn't want you to worry."

However, this explanation could not dispel Xiao Ling's doubts, and the relationship between the two became somewhat delicate.

Meanwhile, the enemy took the opportunity to intensify their efforts to sow discord. They deliberately created false impressions to make Su Jinxiu believe that Xiao Ling was colluding with the enemy; they also made Xiao Ling witness Su Jinxiu's contact with the mysterious person.

In the process of investigating the truth, Su Jinxiu discovered a suspicious document related to Xiao Ling.

"How is this possible?" Su Jinxiu's hands trembled.

Xiao Ling overheard Su Jinxiu's conversation with someone by chance, and the content of the conversation led him to misunderstand.

"Could it be that Jinxiu really betrayed me?" Xiao Ling's heart was filled with pain.

Just when their trust was about to collapse, a sudden crisis struck.

The Marquis's mansion was besieged by a group of unidentified people. The fire was raging and shouts of killing filled the air.

"Protect Madam!" In the chaos, Xiao Ling's first thought was still Su Jinxiu's safety.

Su Jinxiu rushed towards Xiao Ling without hesitation: "Husband, be careful!"

At the critical moment of life and death, their love and concern for each other overcame all doubts and misunderstandings.

"Jinxiu, no matter what happens, I believe in you!" Xiao Ling said loudly.

"My husband, I feel the same way!" Su Jinxiu cried, tears streaming down her face.

They joined hands and fought side by side against the enemy's attack. After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy.

After the battle, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling sat in the courtyard filled with ruins, smiling at each other.

"Having passed this test, our trust will never waver again," Xiao Ling said.

Su Jinxiu nodded: "That's right, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will face them together."

However, what they didn't know was that an even greater test awaited them...
