Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s response, Su Ning let out a sigh of relief, a secret happiness filling her heart.

Now, she could finally find peace of mind. If the governor faced conviction, he would never get the chance to propose marriage to their family. She would never be bound to that stiff, little master for the rest of her life.

However, the thought of the governor’s family suffering due to his colossal crime crossed her mind. Naively, Su Ning remembered how kindly the magistrate’s wife had treated them and inquired of Qin Zhenzhen, “Third Sister-in-law, if the governor is truly a bad person, will his family also face punishment?”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded in response. “Yes.”

In a feudal society where imperial authority reigned supreme, an act like assassinating a prince would inevitably implicate multiple generations. She wondered if their entire family would face execution or be subjected to exile.

Thinking about it, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but contemplate the significant impact of the magistrate’s conviction on her own business. Fortunately, they had been prepared and had managed to mitigate their losses.

Seeing that Su Ning still seemed somewhat melancholic, Qin Zhenzhen consoled her.

“I understand your sentiments. It does seem somewhat unjust to have a system where one’s fortunes rise or fall, and a law that implicates nine generations. Anyone who dares to voice their opinions must be in favor with those in power.”

In ancient feudal society, achieving equality and abolishing the practice of one person’s actions affecting nine generations seemed impossible.

However, a glimmer of hope sparked in Su Ning’s eyes.

“Third Sister-in-law, does one need to hold a high-ranking official position to communicate with those in power?”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded in affirmation. “Indeed, that’s correct. They must hold a significant position to have their words carry weight and to be considered by those in power.”

Su Ning nodded resolutely. “I understand, Third Sister-in-law!”

“You mean that if Third Brother attains a high-ranking official position, he would have the authority to communicate with the emperor, correct?”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded again.. “Yes!”
