The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Mama Fan and Fan Dajiang from the Luo family arrived later than Granny Yang. By the time they reached Qinghe County, it was already dark, just in time for the dinner rush.

The strings of red lanterns outside Gu's Restaurant are bright and festive.

When Fan's mother saw the long queue outside the restaurant, she knew it must be very profitable.

Good heavens, the queue is so long, it seems endless. It makes Qinghe County, such a small place, seem more bustling than the capital.

Making money is a good thing. If this young girl listens to the Luo family and doesn't risk siding with the Prince of Huainan, the Luo family can take on this lucrative business.

The old lady will then be able to eat bird's nest every day.

As the old lady's most capable servant, she would also benefit from this, and wouldn't be so poor that she wouldn't even have money to make spring clothes.

Although Madam Fan sometimes felt that the Luo family had been too harsh on Miss Su, she had lived in the Luo family for decades, and when she thought about things, she unconsciously sided with the Luo family masters.

She always puts the masters of the Luo family first, hoping to get more money from Miss Su so that the masters of the Luo family can live a good life.

Fan Dajiang had been traveling for several days and was in a bad mood. He found fault with everything. He said, "The people in this small county act like they've never seen a restaurant before. They're queuing up for such a long time just to get a meal. Aren't they ashamed?"

These words drew glares from the customers in line. These outsiders are so ignorant, daring to look down on Gu Ji. If you're so tough, then don't come to Gu Ji to eat.

After hearing her son's words, Fan's mother thought about how she came from the residence of a high-ranking official in the capital, and she also looked down on the people from the small place of Qinghe County.

She held her chin high and said to the two servants at the gate, "I come from the capital. I am the most trusted servant of Lady Luo, the wife of Vice Minister Luo. Quickly let your boss come out to see me."

The two men were very unhappy. Who was this person? How dare he be so disrespectful to Master Su?

The customers waiting in line for food were also unhappy.

"Who is this? So arrogant, they must be trying to cut in line. We absolutely cannot let them cut in line."

"Exactly, why should we get in? We all lined up patiently, but she used the excuse of wanting to see Mr. Su to try and sneak in ahead of us."

When Fan's mother and her group tried to enter Gu's restaurant, it aroused public outrage, and they started fighting with the customers in line.

The customers in line felt that what Madam Fan had said earlier was disrespectful to Miss Su, so they had a problem with Madam Fan and many people took advantage of the chaos to attack her.

Mother Fan felt as if countless hands were abusing her body, her whole body aching from being pinched. Her hairpin fell to the ground, and her white hair was mangled into a mess.

Someone picked up the silver hairpin, only to discover that it was fake; it was actually a copper hairpin wrapped in silver, with obvious verdigris showing inside.

"What a show-off! If you can't afford a silver hairpin, don't wear one. Why embarrass yourself with a fake one!"

"And they come from some damn Vice Minister's mansion in the capital? They're shameless."

At this moment, Granny Yang was sitting in a restaurant eating, at the same table as the officials from the Ministry of Rites who had come to read the imperial edict.

There was no distinction between rich and poor at Gu's Restaurant. Because tables were in short supply, it was common for officials and ordinary people to share a table.

Granny Yang picked up a piece of pickled fish with her chopsticks and felt that the taste hit her soul.

I never expected that coming to this remote little county would result in eating the most delicious fish of my life.

No wonder the queue outside is so long; Miss Su really knows how to do business.

Just as Granny Yang was enjoying her meal, she suddenly heard Granny Fan's wailing and howling.

I finally got to eat the most delicious food of my life, and then someone came to ruin it. It's really unsettling.

Granny Yang put down her chopsticks, went over and asked a few questions, and learned that the other party was actually from the residence of Vice Minister Luo in the capital.

She knew that Minister Luo and Miss Su were related by blood, but the voice of the servants in the Luo family was so arrogant.

So, did the Luo family come to find relatives, or to make enemies?

Regardless of what the Luo family's purpose was in sending people over, she would never allow anyone to bully the future wife of the heir.

Granny Yang instructed the people she brought, "Keep an eye on things and don't let any of these unauthorized people in."

She planned that once she returned to the capital, she must tell Madam Hou what the servants of the Luo family had done, so that Madam Hou could stand up for Miss Su and reprimand the women of the Luo family.

Su Qianqian was in the backyard discussing planting matters with Zhang Junshi: how many acres of rice to plant? How many acres of vegetable seedlings to plant? They also planned to plant fruit trees on the barren mountain.

Then I heard that someone from the residence of Vice Minister Luo in the capital had arrived; the one who was supposed to come had finally come.

Su Qianqian decided to go out and meet the servants of the Luo family.

Originally, Fan's mother was arrogant and thought she was superior to others, but when she saw Su Qianqian, she was immediately intimidated, and her straight back bent instantly.

Mrs. Fan had never seen such a heavenly beauty; her skin was as white as a peeled egg, and her eyes were like pools of spring water.

This is completely different from what the noble ladies of the capital imagined.

She was neither as ugly as the noble ladies imagined, nor as vulgar as they claimed.

Even the girl's cold expression was quite pleasing to the eye.

This young girl is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has an extraordinary demeanor. She looks more noble than all the masters of the Luo family, and doesn't seem like someone who grew up in the countryside at all.

Fan's mother found that the girl in front of her had a fierce aura that was quite frightening.

The young ladies from prominent families in the capital she had met were all delicate and frail, unlike this woman whose aura was no less imposing than that of Minister Luo.

Those who have killed on the battlefield and tasted blood on the edge of a knife naturally possess an extraordinary aura.

"So you're the people sent by the Luo family? What do you want with me?"

Like his mother, Fan Dajiang felt that the Luo family had been too heartless towards Miss Su's family, but when he was away from home, he was always thinking of the Luo family and wanted to keep an eye on Miss Su on their behalf.

"Miss Su, is that it? You've kept us waiting for so long, don't you know any manners? Is this how you treat guests who have come from afar?"

Su Qianqian thought it was great. You say I don't understand the rules, then I really don't need to follow the rules.

"Xiangming, slap yourself."

Fan Dajiang was somewhat skilled in martial arts, but Xiangming was a genuine master of martial arts, and was specially sent by Gong Yu to protect Su Qianqian.

She knocked out Fan Dajiang's front teeth with a few slaps.

Mother Fan felt sorry for her son and pointed at Su Qianqian, saying, "You, you, you—"

Xiangming was furious: How dare they point at their master! They are disrespectful and must be beaten.

As a result, Fan's mother also had her face swollen from being slapped.

The other servants of the Luo household were terrified and quickly knelt on the ground, saying, "We are here on the orders of the Vice Minister to deliver the letter of severance."

Granny Yang was utterly disdainful of the Luo family's actions. Upon learning that their blood relatives were living abroad, instead of trying to make amends, they rushed over to sever ties with the family. How commendable!

If Xiangming hadn't been quick enough to slap Fan's mother, she would have gone up and slapped her a few times too.

How dare they bully the future heir's wife of the Marquis of Guiping!

Su Qianqian had her father, Su Bing, summoned, intending to have him practice his interpersonal skills.

"Father, your own father has sent someone from the capital to sever ties with you."

Su Bing was extremely sad.

When he last went to the capital for disaster relief, his daughter told him that Minister Luo was his true blood-related father.

He lingered outside the Luo family mansion for a full half day, but ultimately couldn't muster the courage to step inside, mainly because he was afraid the Luo family wouldn't recognize him.

As it turned out, the Luo family really didn't want to acknowledge him and even sent someone to deliver a letter severing ties with him.

He was destined to be without parental love in his life; there's no need to force things that can't be obtained through begging.

"Okay, I'll sign."

Su Bing signed his name and pressed his red handprint on the paper, tears falling drop by drop, his expression more desolate than ever before.

Two copies were made. Su Qianqian picked up one and threw it at Fan's mother's face, saying, "You've got what you wanted, now get out of here!"

Mother Fan and Fan Dajiang quickly left.

Their carriage set off from Gu's Restaurant, and along the way, people chased after them, throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them.

The people were outraged.

"Miss Su is a great benefactor of our Qinghe County, and we will never allow anyone to bully her."

"How dare you disrespect Miss Su! You deserve to die!"

Some people even threw stones at the carriage.

Fan Dajiang was riding a horse when he was hit on the head by a stone, causing him to bleed profusely. He dared not ride the horse anymore and could only hide in the carriage.

He covered his head and complained, "I never imagined that little girl would have such influence in Qinghe County."

Mrs. Fan felt very sorry for her son. While bandaging his wounds, she said, "The master said that she is just a little girl. No matter how good she is at fighting, it's useless. She can never become an official like a man."

"With such a background, and our Vice Minister's Mansion not recognizing her, a woman who marries into a high-ranking family without the support of her maternal family will not have a good life."
