The daughter of the first wife is reborn and marries a rich family again

Hua Jian smiled and responded calmly: "I understand your concerns, but I also believe that true peace is not maintained by violence, but achieved through understanding and communication. I came here today in the hope of resolving misunderstandings and contributing to the stability of the northern border."

After the words fell, the room fell silent. Although Hua Jian's words were calm, each word was sonorous, making all the nobles present feel her extraordinary courage and determination.

"Well, Princess, we are willing to listen to you... I hope you can bring more than just words." Another noble spoke slowly, and his attitude softened.

...The talks lasted until late at night. When Hua Jian walked out of the house, the sky was already pale. Her face was a little tired, but there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Thanks to her efforts, several nobles who originally had ambiguous positions promised to reconsider, at least to remain neutral on the surface, and no longer participate in any conspiracy against the Ninth Prince.

"Princess, your words really woke me up." A young noble couldn't help but sighed when saying goodbye, "I began to believe that there might really be another possibility, and there is no need to resolve the dispute through bloodshed."

Hua Jian gently patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "I believe that as long as we have love in our hearts and a sense of responsibility for this land, there is nothing that cannot be resolved through dialogue."

...On the way back, Hua Jian and his group passed through a remote alley. Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped out from the corner and surrounded them.

"Who is it?" The confidant drew out his weapon vigilantly and protected Hua Jian.

A deep voice came from the darkness: "Princess, you are so bold to come here alone. We are here under orders and have to be polite to you."

Facing the sudden crisis, Hua Jian seemed unusually calm. "Oh? Really? Then you really chose the wrong person." She chuckled, with a sharp glint in her eyes.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, a familiar voice came from the other end of the alley: "How dare you! Who dares to touch my people!"

The Ninth Prince led a team of personal guards and appeared in front of everyone like a divine soldier descending from the sky. He walked quickly towards Hua Jian, his eyes gentle but firm: "I heard that you entered the capital alone, and I was worried."

Hua Jian smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. "It seems that our tacit understanding is still so good." She responded softly, and the two smiled at each other. There was no need to say more, everything was said without words.

With the arrival of the Ninth Prince, the unidentified men in black saw that the situation was not good and fled in all directions, disappearing into the night. The crisis was quietly resolved.

"Let's go back. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with." The Ninth Prince took Hua Jian's hand and walked towards the bright street together, leaving behind peace.

All of this is just another episode in their legendary story. In the future, no matter how many storms they encounter, they will continue to move forward with more determined steps and leave their own glorious chapter in the long river of history.

"As long as we work together, nothing can stop us." Hua Jian said softly. This sentence is not only a promise to the Ninth Prince, but also a vow to all people who look forward to light and peace.

The Ninth Prince held Hua Jian's hand tightly, his eyes gleaming with the same light as hers: "Together, until the end of the world."

…Just as everyone was preparing for the coming storm, a soft and warm voice penetrated the haze, completely different from the majestic and cold voice of darkness before: "Su Jin, and all of you brave hearts, don't forget that true strength comes from the light within. In the face of darkness, you must stick to your original intentions."

The witch raised her head suddenly, a look of disbelief on her face, as if the voice had touched her deepest memory. "Is... is she guiding us?" she murmured, her eyes slightly red.

"Who?" the sturdy man asked in confusion, while looking around vigilantly, trying to find the person who spoke.

"It is the voice we heard at the beginning, the one that guided us to find the path of light." The witch explained, with a hint of awe in her voice.

The little girl pulled the witch's clothes tightly, with curiosity and hope in her eyes: "Where is she? Why can't we see her?"

"Some things cannot be captured by the naked eye and can only be felt with the heart." Su Jin said slowly, his eyes becoming more profound, "Now, we need this guidance more than ever."

At this moment, a soft light suddenly bloomed above the altar, and pictures gradually emerged in the center of the light, like ancient memories, and also like a foreshadowing of the future: people laughing in the light, coexisting harmoniously with nature, without fear, without darkness. These pictures were like warm tides, soothing everyone's hearts and giving them unprecedented courage and confidence.

"See? That's the future we're pursuing." Su Jin's eyes became unusually firm. He turned to look at everyone in the team, "For all this, we have no reason to retreat."

The strong man clenched his fists and growled like an oath: "Yes, no matter how powerful the darkness is, as long as there is light in your heart, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!"

Others in the team also responded. Their determination and courage combined into a force that could not be underestimated. Even the increasingly thick darkness around them seemed to be intimidated by this force and was no longer so suffocating.

"The ceremony begins!" the witch announced loudly, and she walked towards the altar, and began to perform a series of complex and solemn rituals according to ancient memories. Her movements were smooth and graceful, and each step was full of mystery and power. As she moved, the light of the altar became brighter, illuminating everyone's face and giving them a sense of sacred mission.

The wind died down, and the thunder faded away, as if nature was holding its breath for this moment. When the last spell fell, the heart of the entire Shadow Valley was filled with an indescribable energy, a power that was both warm and powerful, as if the world itself was responding to their call.

"Success!" the little girl exclaimed in surprise. She pointed to the sky and saw that the originally dense dark clouds began to crack. Rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone into the valley. Everything returned to peace and beauty.

"But this is just the beginning..." Su Jin looked at the sky, knowing that this short-lived victory did not mean eternal peace, and the real battle had just begun.

"What should we do next?" asked the middle-aged woman. Although she felt relieved, she knew that the battle between light and darkness was far from over.
