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

Su Qianqian has achieved her goal of severing ties with the Luo family in the capital.

To be honest, severing ties with family is actually the best option.

Su Bing and Gu Shi are both easy targets. If they were to become relatives with the Luo family, they would probably be schemed against and left with nothing.

If Gu and Su Bing were to be taken to live in the Luo family mansion, it would be like lambs to the slaughter.

Su Qianqian had previously stalled for Lord Deng of the Ministry of Rites, preventing him from returning to the capital to report, and had also left the Prince of Huainan's strategist in Qinghe County—all of this was done to show the Luo family what was going on.

Everything was as expected. The Luo family was afraid of being implicated by her and betraying the country, so they chose to sever ties with her.

If the Luo family hadn't chosen to sever ties, she might have thought more highly of them and even given them some money to get rid of them. But now, she doesn't even need to bother with that.

Now we can finally deal with Wang Changxu's matter.

She had someone invite Wang Changxu into a private room.

"Lord Wang."

"Miss Su." Wang Changxu still couldn't believe that the delicate young girl in front of him was the biggest threat to the King of Huainan's ascension to the throne.

The Creator is truly biased.

It's one thing to give a little girl such beauty, but to give her such high intelligence is another.

He was proficient in everything from doing business to fighting wars.

This delicate little girl is wielding a six-stone bow; what an incredible feat!

"Lord Wang, I've already spread the word that you've sided with the Great Qi. I've heard the Prince of Huainan is very suspicious. Have you considered whether he'll still trust you after you return this time?"

Su Qianqian smiled, but her words were sharp and menacing, completely unlike what a teenage girl would say.

Wang Changxu broke out in a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, this young Miss Su was so ruthless at such a young age, directly cutting off his escape route.

He raised his hand to touch his forehead and found his hand was covered in water. The weather in early spring was still a bit cold; he shouldn't be sweating so much.

He was scared by the little girl.

"Lord Wang may not know this, but I have led men in several battles, and each time there were zero casualties."

To be honest, Wang Changxu admired this a lot. In war, people always die, but Miss Su managed to do it.

So what does Miss Su mean by saying this? That he won't die if he follows Miss Su? Is she trying to turn him against her?

In fact, Wang Changxu was somewhat afraid of the Prince of Huainan. The Prince of Huainan had an unpredictable personality, and Wang Changxu lived in constant fear while staying by the Prince's side, afraid that he would be beheaded by the Prince of Huainan if he was not careful.

This trip to persuade Miss Su to defect is also an opportunity for him to escape from the Prince of Huainan.

"Miss Su, please allow me to consider this matter."

Su Qianqian knew that Wang Changxu was clearly wavering. Knowing that it's always good to strike while the iron is hot, she decided to show off her skills so that Wang Changxu would completely submit.

Su Qianqian walked over and closed the door. Now, only she and Wang Changxu were in the private room.

"Lord Wang, to be honest, I do know magic. Watch closely and don't blink."

Wang Changxu witnessed Su Qianqian disappear before his eyes, and then saw her appear out of thin air.

This bizarre event is truly shocking.

Wang Changxu pinched his thigh hard, and the intense pain told him that all of this was real and not a dream.

How terrifying! Miss Su actually knows magic! Faced with absolute power, he could only side with Miss Su.

Wang Changxu finally made up his mind, knelt on one knee in front of Su Qianqian, and said, "I am willing to be Miss Su's strategist and follow General Su to the death."

Su Qianqian took a big gulp of flower tea and chuckled, "I tricked a strategist with my spatial ability."

"Please rise, Lord Wang. As long as you follow me loyally from now on, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"General Su, you're too kind. Just call me Changxu."

Su Qianqian summoned Military Advisor Zhang and asked him to arrange food and lodging for Wang Changxu.

Military Advisor Zhang noticed that Wang Changxu, who had been quite arrogant before, now seemed extremely respectful to General Su, even showing a sense of awe.

Little brat, I knew it would turn out like this. No matter how powerful a person is, they can only keep their tail between their legs when they meet Miss Su.

General Su is incredibly efficient. He left Wang Changxu waiting for days, but now he's subdued him in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Zhang Junshi actually liked Wang Changxu quite a bit, because Wang Changxu was indeed a talented person who understood astronomy and geography, and was especially good at predicting the weather, which made up for his shortcomings in this area.

We're busy with spring planting lately, and we really need someone who can predict the weather.

But at the same time, he was a little jealous. Before, Miss Su only had him as her strategist, but now she had another one.

Forget it, let's not be so petty. Miss Su is a person who is destined for great things. Even if she has ten or eight strategists, it won't be too many.

Su Qianqian was very busy and didn't even have time to eat dinner, but she still had to meet with someone else, namely Lord Deng, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Lord Deng had finished dinner and was sitting in the restaurant lobby drinking tea and listening to storytelling, with a look of complete enjoyment on his face.

This trip to Qinghe County was definitely worthwhile; I witnessed Miss Su's unconventional ways.

I saw that although the people of Qinghe County were on the front line, they were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and there was not a single beggar in the entire Qinghe County!

I also witnessed Miss Su's prowess while training the troops. I never imagined that such a large military force of 40,000 to 50,000 men would all submit to a young girl. She's truly remarkable.

He felt that Miss Su was no ordinary person and would rise to prominence sooner or later, breaking the traditional male-dominated tradition.

Su Qianqian handed the marriage certificate signed by Su Bing to Lord Deng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this marriage upon us. It has been a great trip for Lord Deng to come all the way to Qinghe County."

Lord Deng was a little regretful, because finishing the business meant he had to leave Qinghe County, and he was really reluctant to leave!

These days, living and eating in Qinghe County, have been the most enjoyable days of his life.

Su Qianqian handed over a square mahogany box. "I prepared a small gift for Lord Deng. I hope you will accept it."

Lord Deng accepted the red box with both hands. Even before opening it, he could already smell the rich aroma of tea, just like the tea he had been drinking these past few days.

This is a treasure! I heard someone offered a very high price, but Miss Su didn't sell it.

But now they've sent him a whole box of them.

Everyone thought that delivering an imperial edict to the remote Qinghe County was a difficult task, and no one was willing to come, so they sent him, a mere junior official in the Ministry of Rites.

When Deng Xiaoping first arrived in Qinghe County, he was quite distressed. It wasn't until he had his first meal at Gu's restaurant that he realized Qinghe County was simply paradise on earth.

It is said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

Deng Xiaoping had been to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he felt that those two places were far inferior to Qinghe County.

His experiences at Gu's Restaurant in Qinghe County over the past few days were enough for him to brag about for months when he returned to Beijing.

He saw the masterpiece of the painting master, the work of the genius painter, and the exquisite orchid. Moreover, he even bought his wife and daughter the latest spring clothes of the most beautiful orchid.

"Miss Su, farewell. I will take my leave now. When Miss Su comes to the capital in the future, I will definitely hold a banquet to welcome her back."

Lord Deng was finally able to return to the capital to report. Reluctant to part with Gu Ji's delicacies, he put the flower tea in the carriage and went back to the restaurant, where he packed up eight divine roast geese in one go.

I plan to eat two on the way, give one to my family, and use the rest as gifts.

He had a premonition that he, a lowly official, was finally going to get a promotion.

Su Qianqian sent a message by carrier pigeon to the capital, bringing news of Wang Changxu's surrender to the Great Qi.

So before Mama Fan and Granny Yang's groups even arrived in the capital, Vice Minister Luo learned of Wang Changxu's surrender in the imperial court.

That girl is quite capable. The King of Huainan's men went to Qinghe County to try to win her over, but she turned the tables and won them over instead.

At the same time, Vice Minister Luo was also particularly annoyed. If the news had been sent earlier, he wouldn't have had to break off the engagement with that girl.

It's a pity. They could have become relatives with the Marquis of Guiping's family, but it feels like they were tricked by that girl.

"Good, good, good!" Emperor Qi Jing said three times in the high hall, showing that he was in a very good mood.

"Miss Su has done well. She has successfully turned the strategist by the side of the Prince of Huainan against his will. I believe that more rebel generals will submit to our Great Qi in the future, and the Prince of Huainan will only end up losing the support of the people."

Duke Anguo didn't miss the chance to speak well of Miss Su, saying, "If our Great Qi had more talents like Miss Su, it would surely prosper for generations to come!"

The other ministers also praised Miss Su.

No need to worry about Miss Su being turned by the Prince of Huainan anymore, saving the trouble of bestowing an official title upon her, it couldn't be better.

After the morning court session ended, Prime Minister Feng summoned Vice Minister Luo to his carriage for a private talk.

"Old Luo, that girl from Qinghe County is riding high right now. You can take advantage of her popularity. Remember to send a few people to Qinghe County to take care of her."

Vice Minister Luo understood Prime Minister Feng's intentions: nominally to take care of him, but in reality, to monitor him.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, I know what to do."

Although the kinship may seem to have been severed on the surface, the blood ties remain unbroken.
