If it's true, then so be it; but if it's false, she doesn't want to bear this reputation for no reason.

Two months later, Princess Fengning, the young emperor's aunt, was offended by a commoner and arrested. After being interrogated, she learned some news.

It turns out that the divorced heir of the Marquis of Pingshuo was actually framed. Princess Fengning ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the case and listened in on it from beginning to end. The adulterer, Liu Xiong, was also arrested.

The case was solved in less than half a month. It turned out that Liu Xiong's sister was still working at the Ping Shuo Marquis's residence. The framing back then was orchestrated by the heir himself, with the aim of divorcing his first wife.

Although the Yao family's reputation is currently precarious, the young emperor still angrily rebuked Marquis Ping Shuo for his lax household management, and Mao Xujing was also confined to his quarters for half a month.

Lady Hou was filled with shock and anger: "Husband, what's going on? Why would Princess Fengning stand up for Yao?"

"Princess Huairong has returned to the capital."

"What?" Lady Hou exclaimed in surprise and anger. "You mean Princess Fengning's daughter?"

"yes."

After thinking for a while, Lady Hou understood the reason.

Princess Huairong accompanied her husband to Zhou County to take up his post. Her husband was killed by local mobs, and Princess Huairong was in a critical situation. However, the court was too busy to take care of itself, and Zhou County was too far away for anyone to care for Princess Huairong. Zhou County was not far from Yuzhou, which happened to be Yao Feiran's hometown.

It's highly likely that Yao Feiran was responsible for Princess Huairong's rescue.

For her daughter's sake, Princess Fengning would naturally be willing to help Yao Feiran. Although the Wang family now controls the court, they are still nominally subjects of the young emperor. Such matters in the inner quarters are not worth the Wang family's attention.

It's just a pity for his son; he's now looked down upon by many, and who knows what they'll say behind his back.

The Yao family is so hateful!

If she hadn't had ulterior motives, why would they have tried to kick her out?

When Yao Feiran went to Zhou County, she found that the rioters there were just a disorganized mob, which was quickly suppressed, and Zhou County was also recovered.

After that, they waited and saw how things would develop, focusing on developing the economy while using the surrounding rioters and bandits for training.

Old Master Lin appointed Yao Feiran as the city lord.

Lin Zhengbai was somewhat displeased. He stormed over to Old Master Lin and asked, "Father, why did you make Yao Feiran the city lord? I am your son."

"I sent you to the military camp for training before, but you complained about the harsh conditions and refused to manage official duties properly. After Fei Ran came, she handled everything. Now that I'm putting her in charge of the region, do you think anyone objects? If I make you the city lord, do you think you can control the whole situation?"

"But my surname is Lin. Even if we win, this world will belong to the Yao family."

Old Master Lin smiled and said, "Feiran has agreed to change her surname. She has Lin family blood, and we have already sent a letter to the Yao family."

Lin Zhengbai looked utterly shocked: "Would the Yao family agree to this?"

Grandpa Lin gave a cryptic smile: "I'll agree."

Yao Feiran then told Yao Ruoshen about this: "From now on, my maternal grandfather will be my paternal grandfather, and I will change my name to Lin. Can you change it too?"

"Sister, if you change it, I'll change it too. Besides, Grandfather values ​​us a lot, so the old guard of the Lin family won't resist as much. It's just that without Father and Mother's consent, it doesn't seem quite legitimate."

"They will agree."

The Yao family now has an heir and wouldn't want a woman vying for the position. Besides, Yao Feiran's acquisition of the Lin family is beneficial to the Yao family, and they don't believe they will lose.

As for his descendants, Yao Ruoshen has already changed his surname to Lin. They will either be chosen from Yao Ruoshen's future offspring or from the Lin family members.

Over the years, Grandpa Lin has supported her wholeheartedly.

As for the original owner's two children, they had nothing to do with her. This was the result of the Mao family's choice. They chose to keep the children away from this mother, and now it has come to pass as they wished.

Yao Ruoshen smiled slightly. Her father, like most people, would treat his daughter as a resource for marriage alliances, even though she was a hundred times more outstanding than her older brother.

If she were still a member of the Yao family, she would be married off sooner or later. Even with her maternal family's support, her sister would still be unable to escape being divorced and kicked out after marriage. If changing her surname could change her fate, she would certainly be willing.

Sure enough, not long after, the Yao family agreed to the surname change. The inscription on the portrait was written by Yao's parents. Old Master Lin held a banquet, and Yao Feiran and Yao Ruoshen changed their surname to Lin. From then on, they would only marry into the Lin family and be included in the Lin family genealogy. The heirs would also be members of the Lin family.

After this was announced, people's hearts were quickly calmed down because Yao Feiran was outstanding enough. The only drawback was that she was not a member of the Lin family. Now she has promised that her future offspring will also be chosen from the direct line of the Lin family, so there will be no worries about the future.

A few years later, the young emperor abdicated in favor of Wang Miao, who then proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Cheng dynasty. He laid bare his wolfish ambitions, and led by Liu Cangyuan, who had blood ties to the previous dynasty, the various warlords prepared to unite and attack Wang Miao.

With control of Yuzhou and Zhoujun, Yao Feiran developed production and accumulated strength, sending caravans to search for high-yield crops. Yao Ruoshen also accompanied her in training and working in the fields every day, which greatly increased her strength.

"Sister, Liu Cangyuan rallied all those with ambition to attack Wang Miao, but unexpectedly, Wang Chixun defended the capital. Moreover, the spies he sent stirred up discord within the ranks, causing them to disperse. Another interesting thing is that Wang Chixun rescued a woman named Shan Yue and took her as his concubine."

Shan Yue?

Yao Feiran thought to herself that the other party was indeed not dead, and had even become the male lead's concubine. Perhaps she was destined to be a supporting female character.

"The Mao family thought the other party was dead, but it turned out she had already climbed the ladder to success and even became Wang Chixun's concubine."

Wang Chixun's concubine will most likely become a concubine in the harem in the future. Shan Yue was unwilling to be Mao Xujing's concubine at first, but now she is willing to be Wang Chixun's concubine.

If Yao Ruoshen marries into that family, she might have to engage in palace intrigue with them.

"That woman has big ambitions; it's fortunate you didn't marry her."

Yao Ruosheng deeply agreed.

.......

Mao Xujing, upon learning that Shan Yue had married Wang Chixun, stayed in his room for several days before coming out.

Her death caused a huge uproar back then, but it turns out she was still alive, just unwilling to let herself know.

After Liu Cangyuan's failed attack on the capital, he fled south and occupied Yaozhou, which was close to Yuzhou. He began to covet the Lin family's territory. Yuzhou had Huanya Pass, and after occupying Zhou County, it was backed by the sea, making it a naturally independent place.

Zhao Shun came over and said, "Sir, I heard that Liu Cangyuan led an army of 300,000 to attack us. Some cowards are so scared that they can't sleep at night."

Three hundred thousand? That must be all his strength. He wants to conquer this place in one fell swoop and then seize the territory of Yuzhou. Isn't that a bit too hasty?

"We only have 100,000 troops, so it's normal for us to be afraid."

Zhao Shun: "...What are your plans, sir? How about I lead the troops to meet the enemy? We'll occupy this important pass and be able to hold it."

Yao Feiran looked at the sky. It was summer, very hot, and there would be wind.

"Select a few hundred elite soldiers, those who are fast-moving and quick-witted."

Although Zhao Shun was somewhat puzzled, he did not ask any further questions.
